It's obvious what it's intended to be, there's a reason Ace delayed the release of the Great White and coy about future Makina releases, he was trying to get the official license and didn't want to upset the license holder during the talks. If he gets a cease and desist letter like he did on the Aces of Aviation "Top Gun" variant, you can expect Makina to stop.Same as with 3rd party Transformers.

Nothing's on the box, article isn't name as thing in question, hence no infringement. Gray area, but no infringement.
You're wrong about 1:12.
We sat with Ace last month:
Makina 1:18, diecast, lights, sound.
1:12 and Gatchaman seems to be the main focus of Ramen Toys, Ace said he wanted to make a Truck in 1:12 next during a live stream.
