It feels like it's worth noting in that part about the retail market that the now-ubiquitous Walmart and Target were just regional players in the 80s - Target wasn't in California until '87 and didn't enter the Southeast until '89, and the "Supercenter" as a concept didn't exist until about that time.  Sears was the biggest retailer in the U.S. until sometime in the mid 90s, ffs.  [[User:Hooper X|-hx]] ([[User talk:Hooper X|talk]]) 08:17, 22 November 2016 (EST)

Maybe instead of an "innovations and lasting effects" section, you should have a section focused on things that have changed about the brand since G1? The last two notes could stay, but the rest are pretty much "well, duh".--Khajidha (talk) 13:45, 18 November 2016 (EST)
