The letter ん or ン is like the letter N without a vowel and is used to conclude a syllable, like the N in "Convoy" (コンボイ Konboi).

Sounds like something Flavor Flave would say: Con Boiiiiiii!

ポケモン (Pokemon)
Or in "Megatron" (メガトロン Megatoron)
'Course, it's the only letter that caps off a syllable without a vowel sound. Everything else has a vowel sound attached it.

"Greejeeber"
Yeah, exactly as I said then: greenjeep spelled phonetically when said in a japanese accent

Except for the fact "Minerva" has a base in the Latin language. "Gregevor", on the other hand, does not.

To add to the confusion, the sound is interchangeable with /m/ (as an end sound). For example, there is a station in Chiba with two romaji signs, showing "Kahin Makuhari" and "KahiM Makuhari" next to each other.
The kana for mu, む/ム, was originally used for the n sound as well, while ん was originally a hentaigana used for both n and mu. In the 1900 Japanese script reforms, hentaigana were officially declared obsolete, and ん was officially declared a kana to represent the n sound.

I don't see much difference in Cosmos and Power Glide. I'm gonna go ahead and say I like CW PG better. That scan code sticker is slightly unfortunate.

That's why I suggested looking "very closely". As you said, the differences aren't as obvious from a distance.william-james88 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Look very closely at Takara figure's torso, shoulders, and face.william-james88 wrote:I see NO difference for Cosmos, to the point that I still feel this is a stand in figure from Hasbro.
It's really not that obvious.
