You can read Chinese? Cool Translating 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
