Anyways, re: site name. I'd figured it was the Japanese name for the planet [if not the series], because it seems to be something that happens a fair bit [in anime, or so I heard].
So, since Transformers are Japanese in origin "Seibertron" is the original name for it. "Cybertron" is the English-ised word for it.
Gotta love translation. ^^

I'm ashamed to admit that at first I didn't. Though I knew a some stuff about the Japanese TF, I wasn't aware of the actual phonetics. I always pronounced it "Cybertron.com". It wasn't until you had the little banners under the "Seibertron.com" banner announcing that it's pronounced "Say-ber-tron" that I discovered my error. Much to my regret, I still pronounce it "Cybertron" out of habit.
Heh heh. So do I usually. Had the domain "Cybertron.com" been available back in 2000, we would all be posting under that name instead. It wasn't, so I went with the name of a Transformers Graphic Novel I had worked on back in 1998 which I thought would be a good choice anyways because of copyright issues.

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

Actually no. That's not how Japanese pronunciation works. It reads "Say-bertron" (See-bertron for German) for the planet.
