>>213084915>FF predates Transformers by over 20 years.Not only that, Marvel comics editors essentially created transformers setting, lore and names. Mattel had licenses various japanese toy lines and came to Marvel comics and said "can you name each character, decided who is good or bad, give them a reason to fight a rough storyline?"Once marvel creates the outline of the story, the comics and cartoon followed. Marvel created all the GI joe lore and many other less successful products. Mattel and other toy companies never employed creative people for the most part (just marleting executives) so it was editors at marvel comics who created the majority of what we watched or read in the 80s.
