Before Bandai was officially sold in Chinese mainland, the translated names of Gundam in Chinese mainland were mostly translated as "Gundam" under the influence of Hong Kong.

In the early 1980s, the drama in Taiwan Province Province was called Steel Bomb Warrior, which has always been called Steel Bomb. However, Bandai has decided to officially re-use the name "Gundam" from September 20 17, which has solved the resentment of Gundam fans for so many years.
