Latikuu/TFWiki Article

Latikuu Entertainment is the company that has held the license to manufacture and market Transformers toys in the El Kadsreian Islands since 1985.

History
Latikuu introduced the Transformers toyline to the then-Vlokozu Union in 1985 (complete with the continuity announcers for Vlokozu Television mentioning prior to the G1 cartoon's transmissions on that channel that the toys were "in the shops now!"). Latikuu, although having acquired the license from Hasbro, already had a good business relationship with Takara which has resulted in Latikuu releasing some toys (or at least versions of certain toys) that are otherwise exclusive to Takara, such as (for G1) the Transform Jr line (renamed Transformers Jr.), Galaxy Shuttle (renamed as Countdown a la the Omni Productions English dub of Victory), Star Saber, and the Good Bye Convoy multipack (released as the Goodbye to Optimus Gift Set by Latikuu).
