Plus, TakaraTomy has been shying away from Japanese names for 5 years straight now. So no more Convoys.

United and Alternity (Goldbug, in particular) use G1 characters with Hasbro names.That Bot wrote:Masterpieces represent the G1 versions of the characters. Only new iterations of characters get the westernized names.

Hence why I singled out Goldbug. He started the change for this line, but it happened that all post-Goldbug releases were characters that either had the same names for both markets to begin with or lacked a separate name for the other market.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Sabrblade wrote:United and Alternity (Goldbug, in particular) use G1 characters with Hasbro names.That Bot wrote:Masterpieces represent the G1 versions of the characters.

Just United. Alternity still had Convoy, Bumble, and Cliff, though they bucked the trend with Goldbug.
