You can read Chinese? CoolTranslating English names into Chinese equivalents can be hard, to the point the names seem made up. Examples:
Optimus Prime: "Pillar that supports the sky"
Megatron: "Heaven-shaking Might"
Starscream: "Star of the Sky King" aka "Uranus"
It's funny though. I can read the Chinese name for the line up to the last character: Change Form Metal ???

I don't mind those names. For some unknown reason, I find them appropriate
Haha.
