Talk:Chop Shop (G1)

Bandai weren't exclusively active in Japan at the time the Deluxe Insecticons were released - they just weren't particularly active in America. There was a Bandai America branch (notably importing Chogokin figures as Godaikin, and Machine Robo as Machine Men), but it was basically a repackaging operation. There were larger more successful branches in Europe (Robo Machine a/o) and Australia (Machine Men) for a start.
