Grrr.

Well, now that Shout! Factory's released all three series on DVD, even more ethnocentric changes have been found. :-x

Many characters in Masterforce got the names of the American characters whose toys they share molds with. Even their human forms! :BANG_HEAD: Though, it seems that only those whose toys use the same deco as the American toys were changed, meaning all redecos got to keep their original names.

Lander --> "Landmine"
Diver --> "Waverider"
Phoenix --> "Cloudburst"
Lightfoot --> "Getaway"
Road King --> "Slapdash"
Blood --> "Bomb-Burst"
Dauros --> "Skullgrin"
Gilmer --> "Submarauder"
Wilder --> "Fangry"
Bullhorn --> "Horri-Bull"
Cancer --> "Squeezplay", and "Plague" :BOOM:
Turtler --> "Snaptrap"
Gulf --> "Skalor"
Kraken --> "Seawing"
Lobclaw --> "Nautilator"
King Poseidon --> "Piranacon"
Clouder/Doubleclouder --> "Dealer/Doubledealer" :BOOM: :BOOM: :BOOM:
Guzzle --> "Cindersaur"
Javil --> "Sparkstalker"
Sizzle --> "Flamefeather"
Guardminder --> "Fasttrack" :BANG_HEAD:

And, as we anticipated, Godmasters are subbed as "Powermasters," which is just wrong. >:oP


With Victory, since there were less American molds, there were less name changes (THANK GOODNESS). Buuuuuuuuut, they still managed to slip some in.

Blacker --> "Gripper"
Holi --> "Stakeout"
Deszaras --> "Deathsaurus" (tolerable, maybe =; )

And, of course, the Brestforce/Breastforce was subbed with that stupidly PC-sounding name of "Chestforce". >:oP

Still better than the crap the Japanese pulled with Beast Wars.

No, not really.
You're complaining about how the Japanese shows have been Americanised and how that goes against artistic integrity, and I pointed out that the Japanese did worse with Beast Wars where they pretty much just spoofed the show.

Oh they also changed the meaning of the original US show, by changing character names, terminology, the time-line, etc...
