==Notes==
*For whatever reason, the American patent that credits [[Kōjin Ōno]] for the creation of [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#The Transformers|Sunstreaker]] also includes [[Bumper (G1)#Toys|Bumper]], leading to the mistaken impression that Ōno created Bumper instead of Maruyama.

* Maruyama also designed a battleship robot<ref>[https://www.j-platpat.inpit.go.jp/c1800/PU/JP-S60-025688/7444E5383E5D46B05D4581CD838904F6D4D3E27C089A87DA9EDD57C1C91D289A/23/en Patent for early battleship robot] at the online directory of the {{w|Japan Patent Office}}</ref> (that he would further refine<ref>[https://www.j-platpat.inpit.go.jp/c1800/PU/JP-S61-080087/AC8E69D1565F0B1BFD94524F3AA64D651A257D7517E047DFAA55CC09CF67F7A6/23/en Patent for later battleship robot] at the online directory of the {{w|Japan Patent Office}}</ref>) which clearly served as the basis for [[Broadside (G1)#Toys|Broadside]]. The finalized Broadside toy, however, was the work of Takara designer [[Kaoru Matsumoto]]. The fact the design did not start out with a jet mode might help explain why Broadside's jet mode is '''terrible'''.
