Classics Line given New Name in Japan

Postby i_amtrunks » Thu Nov 29, 2007 4:56 pm

The Classics Toy line has been given a shiny new name for their upcoming release in Japan.

Classics will now be known as: "Henkei ! Henkei ! Transformer".

Figures to be released in the first wave include: Convoy, Megatron, Bumble, Starscream, Rije and Grimrock.

Megatron's colour scheme will be completely different from the US release, but for the moment it is not known how different it will be.

Henkei means "transform" and is used for anything mechanical. "Hen" is the root of the meaning, it means "change". On a side note, "henshin" is for human (or anything organic for that matter) transformation.

According to Primal Convoy from TFans.com:

Primal Convoy wrote:"Henkei" means "transform" basically. Usually, the bots will say "henshin" to transform (or "Turansufooooooomu!"), which also means "transform", so I'm guessing that its just a question of grammer.

My own "educated" guess is that the translated title could make sense as "Transforming...Transformation...TRANSFORMERS!"

"Henkei" means "transformation" so the Japanese are using a redundant term, much like saying "ATM Machine" "Tokyo Koen park" in Japanese- "koen" means park but its also a proper noun, or an official name so it gets "doubled" when translated, also like "Koi Carp" as "koi" means "carp').

Another example of a "redundant term" is to say "ATM Machine" as the "M" means "machine" (but we still say "ATM Machine" anyway).

It would make more sense when it's transscribed as "Ligier", his original Japanese name (it's all over the car). But you know trademarking... :roll:

I just know the Takara color scheme for Megs just has to be better than freakin Hasbro. He'll probalby be in a cool metallic silver (I hope) w/red eyes. That's a cool Henkei Henkei! Megatron IMHO
