About:
A little known fact is that early in his career, Kawamori had worked with Takara on designing toys for the Diaclone series - many of which eventually went on to the Transformers line. Most notable of these designs were Battle Convoy (Optimus Prime), Datsun Fairlady Z Robo (Prowl/Bluestreak/Smokescreen) and Nissan Cherry Vanette Robo (Ironhide/Ratchet). In 2006, Kawamori returned to his roots by designing the Hybrid Style Convoy and Masterpiece Starscream toys.

Shoji Kawamori's formula to make a good anime:
Step 1: Get your theme
Step 2: Add robots and sci-fi
Step 3: Introduce a token moe character
Step 4: Use ludicurous amounts of CGI
Step 5: Get a J-pop singer/group to do all the OP/ED/intermission songs
Step 6: Determine if everything aboves has potential for going on a serious or stupid route.
- If serious, make a grand space opera
- If stupid, make it even stupider and over the top

Optional toppings:
- introduce a green haired character and torture him/her throughout the series
- form love triangles that makes viewers rage
- add mind skewering twists
