Oh, I wasn't referring to things like using the American namess and such. I meant things like that line of dialogue you quoted:Dead Metal wrote:Not, really. The Metrodome sets even come with a booklet explaining what they changed and why. The changes are the names of characters and concepts, using the Western names over the Japanese names, save for a few exceptions. I don't believe a professional translation company with no knowledge of the material would have done that and instead went with translating the names literally (which would mean the company was a very, very bad and low quality agency) or left the names untouched, like the trade demands.
I suppose.Dead Metal wrote:Still not an excuse for crappy character motivation changes. Shows that do that usually show that side of the character early on or at least hint at it. Headmasters however did not. He was consistently shown to be an irredeemable monster who reveled in what he did. Then suddenly he decides to protect Daniel 5 episodes before the show ends just so the show could have a heroic sacrifice. That isn't character development, that's crappy and inconsistent writing.
Oh mercy, Sixknight! As much as I love Masterforce, he was that show's biggest waste of a character. It's as though it wanted nothing to do with him and only used him out of obligation.Dead Metal wrote:The only character whose characterization is even dumber is Sixknight in Masterforce. Who after murdering a heck of a lot of innocents and attacking the Autobots suddenly claims that he's not evil or an enemy, but an honorable an good harted Autobot, who hates evil.
Just goes to show how little the media cares about accuracy for its portrayal of ninjas.Dead Metal wrote:So? Ninja don't do half the stuff the media shows them doing, but they tried their damnedest to make their enemies believe they did.

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.
Yeah, and that's not even close to what a Transtector is - http://tfwiki.net/wiki/TranstectorDead Metal wrote:Oh OK, I guess Transector can be mistranslated as transformation techniques.

Right. I was providing the link for anyone reading this who might not know what we know of it. Convenience and all.Dead Metal wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Yeah, and that's not even close to what a Transtector is - http://tfwiki.net/wiki/TranstectorDead Metal wrote:Oh OK, I guess Transector can be mistranslated as transformation techniques.
I know what a Transector is, I was simply agreeing that it was a believable mistake to make if you had no idea of Transformers.

Let them find out for themselves, the lazy pieces of trash, I had to use google and the wiki back in the old days when I started out in this fandom. Took a couple of seconds but at least I achieved something.

Dead Metal wrote:Apparently The Rebirth was always meant to be the series finale and the only change was that it was cut from 5 to 3 episodes.
