*Billemount energy is referred to a number of times in the character bios and while it could be a mistranslation, it's representation is consistent. Any further information on this is very welcome.
The details in this character bio were drawn from various marketing sources and combined. Translation is as faithful to the original meaning as possible.
Fire CG is one of seven models in the line to contain diecast metal in its construction and one of the five models (the first five) to appear in the TV advertisement.
This model was also released in Europe for Bandai's Robo Machines line in conjunction with a number of DX scale Machine Robo (Super Gobots). It was named, 'Fire Chief' and featured unique, 'RM-02' stickers that technically conflict with the 80s Robo Machine figure Tank's designation of RM-02. Specific to Italy, they were distributed by Giochi Preziosi with box text printed in Italian.
