Wait, why did they change they change the parsing of "Knock Out" to "Knockout"? They left it alone for "Medic Knock Out", so why the change for "Bloody Knockout"?Jones wrote:

Bloody Knockout!? That is messed up!
Is he a repaint a Beast Hunters version of Knockout? Didn't know there was a BH version. As a big fan of Bluestreak, this paint job is really doing it for me. Might have to scoop this one up.

Those aren't stress marks: they are exposed catches for the soft ratchet joints. I just found out about them when looking at RID 2015 Grimlock in packaging, and having them exposed may have been a bad idea. I've seen multiple reports on the catches detaching or breaking, leaving Grimlock with a limp arm.
Well, he was the Decepticon Medic, and you know how mad doctors can get at times
Doesn't stop me from wanting him, I've been waiting for BH retool redecos that don't look like the original figure with new armor parts (looking at you, Ratchet).
With Ultra Magnus on the way later, that only leaves Sharkticon Megatron and Prowl.
Mistake? What counts is that the name in Kana remains the same. Japanese uses no spaces between words in the same sentence, it's a long string of characters and kana, so it's up to the reader himself to discern the words. The only exception is the "forced space", denoted by ".", but it's usually only used for "the" which is a single kana (ザ za).

I fixed two RID 2015 Deluxe Grimlocks by removing the pins in the elbow joint, removing the catch, applying super glue to the bottom of the catch to get the piece to stay attached inside his upper forearm, reassembling the figure, and problem solved! I should get another one to do a preventative repair video.

I hope we can get a closer look into the packages for TF Adventure Swoop and Slag/Slug because I love how despite they have the Animated designs they way they're drawn and painted in different colours reallt make them feel like they belong into the world RID15/TF Adventure. Knockout and Dreadwing's art looks cool too.
I can imagine how the upcoming TF Adventure Lockdown's packaging art will look like.

Ladies and gentleman, after all these years, we finally have an official English spelling for the name "Greejeeber".

Gregevor... that's one way of translating the name グリジバー (gurijibā). For all it's worth, it looks better than "Greejeeber", but it loses the pun ("Green Jeep"). Apparently it flew by the translator as well.
Take note the translation only goes for the RID 2015 one, not RID Rollbar whose Japanese name is the same, but was never properly romanised.

Is his primary function "Greg Sepelak eater"?
I can't quite tell from pics I've seen, is the art trying to make the Strongarm mold look male for Greejeeber? I had just assumed it was a female take on the character.

Until we get its bio, there's no telling which gender Gregevor is supposed to be. *shrug*Emerje wrote:Sabrblade wrote:"GREGEVOR"

Like the Beast Wars lines before it, Car Robots used no English for the boxes except for the faction names (Cybertron and Destronger), so the names were never given official English translations. Fortunately most were pretty straightforward as they used whole English words in the names, but the more "nonsensical" ones were a little bit harder to effectively translate. The Commandos/Combatrons are especially guilty of that. Here are the names with the most common unofficial translation in bold, plus a few (not always correct) variations:
Mega-Octane: ドルレイラー Dorureirā, Dolrailer, Dual-Railer
Armorhide: ダンガー Dangā, Dangar, Danger (pun on "tanker")
Ro-Tor: ヘプター Heptā, Hepter
Movor: シャトラー Shatorā, Shuttler
Rollbar: グリジバー Gurijibā, Greejeeber, Greenjeeper
Ruination: バルディガス Barudigasu, Baldigus, Vuldigus (probably from "Bruticus")
Not as bad Cohrada/Corahda and Rartorata, which is fortunate.
