Given that Japanese honorifics don't often have English equivalents, keeping the -sama would have made more sense.

And you're how old, exactly? And you know about this stuff too, right? So why couldn't she?

Nothing. However, Lady Gaga is a pop-culture junkie; the music video for "Telephone" displayed a recipe that included tiberium as an ingredient, so I wouldn't put anything past her.

Seriously, man, I was joking. Half of the stuff that I post here is silly nonsense that I post for my own amusement, though the flame-baiting part has gotten boring so I won't be doing that anymore.

Given the context in which they're used for these two, "Lord" and "Lady" are adequate equivalents of "-sama".

I watched all the Japanese G1 series because I both imported the UK DVDs and downloaded the TV-Nihon fansubs.

As for if she'd know about it or not, is she a Transformers fan?She'd have to be in order to know about it, as no American Average Joe is gonna know about some semi-obscure 1988 cartoon from Japan that never came over to America.

Which has nothing to do with the Transformers - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiberium

Didn't anyone give you the traditional Seibertron.com welcome? "WARNING: Seibertron Contains Nuts!" We are nerds here. Transformers is Serious Business.

Also, out of curiosity, do you go to the site's Front Page? Cuz that's where all the things you claim nobody knows about or cares about (i.e. - non-cartoon, non-movie news/info) gets posted. And a lot of us do see it and so we do know and care about it.

Like I said, if she's familiar with the Command & Conquer universe, I wouldn't put anything past her.

O RLY? OMG NO WAI!

No, I'm just here for the free coffee.

Take my advice and use it. That's where we all get our news from, and it's best to not be left in the dark on all the things being revealed to us.

Lady Gaga's name came from her love of the Queen song, "Radio Ga-Ga". She just added the lady to for whatever reason, but it has nothing to do with "Transformers: Super God Masterforce".

It helps to do as I did. Wath A la carte isntead of in order. There are a couple block sof episodes that need to be seen together, but I was abel to traget on teh really goods ones (even the medicore ones were still far from bad.) My favs:

Predatory

Sick Mind/Out of His Head

Shadowzone

Crisscross (oh GOD Crisscross)

Rock Bottom

Partners

One Shall Fall/One Shall Rise

And also, Gaga's enough of a nerd that I wouldnt put it past her to be a TF fangirl, but yeah her name is a combination fo radio Ga-Ga and a bad text message. Can we get back to TF now?
