So, both combiners are Autobots? Interesting.

And with a story like that, I certainly wouldn't mind Hasbro putting these guys in a new show. Just as long as they they don't touch the anime.

Also, as for why they look like Braves, someone at Takara probably said "Hey, remember our other line of transforming robots? Let's make more of those but put them in a Transformers line"

And Va'al, how did you get into Unicron's colon?

The plot for Go! is as follows: As an intended sequel to the Beast Hunters story, the Autobots succeeded in sealing away Dragotron (Predaking) with the help of an artifact called a "Legendisk". Now, Team Prime has left Earth to oppose the various Predacons running loose across the galaxy. However, some Preds still remain on Earth, and hunting them down has been tasked to six new Autobots (the two new combiner trios), who are three samurai and three ninjas.

Whether or not this will actually match what happens in the Prime Beast Hunters cartoon, however, remains to be seen.

Where did you find that information..?

...I'm not sure we're close enough for that information.

If people complained about all media that use Judeo-Christian symbolism and mythologies, we'd pretty much have to give up on the entertainment industry, especially anime.

The whole of Evangelion would collapse like a flan in a cupboard (cit), for example.

Thanks to Hydra of the Allspark boards, we have details of the plot for the Transformers Go! straight-to-DVD supplement anime. This rectifies the previous speculation that the two combiner figures were one of each faction, stating that all six characters are in fact combining Autobots.

The magazine spread for Go! said that Optimus and co. had sealed Predaking away inside the Earth using the artfact known as the "Legendisk,"
and left Earth to hunt down other Predacons who had spread throughout the galaxy. They entrusted the duty of hunting down the scattering of Predacons still on Earth to a team of six Autobots...

In that sense, it takes place after BH, but whether it will link up smoothly is anyone's guess.

Double blast.

Again,I'm getting the 80s Japanese Continuity/Brave Series vibe from this show. Not as awesome as Takara actually re-newing the Brave Franchise but still awesome nonetheless.

Now why am I getting the same vibe I got when I read about Predacons Rising?

So virtually they're the Japanese equivalent of the Rescue Bots, but instead of protecting humans from natural disasters (and Morocco), they are protecting humans by hunting the remaining Predacons on Earth?

The way you make it sound,it seems simple but it works.

Eh, I'm gonna go ahead and keep pretending Japanese Transformer TV shows don't exist

Isn't it strange for Takara to be announcing a Beast Hunters sequel when the series isn't even halfway through? Takara not loving where Hasbro is taking things??? Whatever the reason, experience tells me I won't be loving this.

I guess this would be a good sequel, wish Hasbro would bring it over. But this looks better than RB!

poopy re-imaging of RID. Yup, i'll be skippin this one.

Takara, complicating the narrative.

I'm sure I'll watch it, hopefully there'll be a sub'd version available. Either way I'm more interested in the plastic rather than the plot.

With all due respect, I meant the name of Tf super god master force. Just the name super god, and yes, I see where you go.

The name of the show is "Transformers: Chōjin Masterforce". Not "Super-God", "Chōjin". "Super-God" is just a translation people use to avoid potential confusion (or potential xenophobia) from the presence of foreign word whose meaning is not common knowledge in the West.

Here is the logo for the subtitle:



超神マスターフォース = "Chōjin Masutāfōsu"

超神 = "Chōjin"

"Super-God" would be スーパーゴッド ("Sūpā Goddo")

If it were really called "Super-God Masterforce" then the above logo would be written as スーパーゴッドマスターフォース ("Sūpā Goddo Masutāfōsu"), but it is not.

It is written as 超神マスターフォース, which reads as "Chōjin Masutāfōsu", or "Chōjin Masterforce".

Therefore, there's nothing in the title for any group to make a commotion about.

I just took the Kanji for "Chōjin" (超神) and popped it into google translate. Guess what the English translation is. Super God.

Yes, but the announcers and singers still very much say "Chojin" when speaking the show's name in the show (be it in the theme song or the next-episode previews).

It's like how Raiden's name can mean "thunder and lightning" when translated into English, yet his name is still "Raiden" and spoken as such.

No point in getting hung up on semantics, because nobody is actually getting offended by the terms Choujin or Super God. Let's talk about our Yuushas--I mean Braves--I mean Transformers that look like Braves.

There's only so much to be said about them and I think it's all been said.

(hot-blooded Japanese voice, possibly yelling): "Sanjō Gattai Toransufōmā Gō!"

Of effin-course their all Autobots.

Because they aren't already outnumbering my Decepticons on every singe shelf...
