MP-10 was to be my only super-pricey Transformer. But I'm tempted. Prowl or Bluestreak? Bluestreak or Prowl? Both.. ?

You can blame the kana. The romanization of "Patrol" would be "Patorol," because Japanese is all symbols.

Not quite. Long story short, Japanese speech is syllabic in nature (meaning, no standalone consonants except for "n"), but they do cheat with "u" and "i" kana, with those vowels being nearly silent. However, those vowels distort the "t" sounds into "tsu" and "chi", so "to" is used instead. Otherwise you'd get "Patsurol" or "Pachirol"
But I just wasted my time explaining it, since you guys never read it, and the error could have been avoided altogether.
