Sabrblade, both combiner teams are Autobots right?
If so, someone better tell the guys a TFormers that these guys aren't Decepticons.

Both teams are Autobots.

Sabrblade isn't the only person who knows...

Ok, ok.

No offense intended MindMaster.

Actually I never had one until I made mine. So the one you see is my first avatar here.

The ninja guys might be called the "Shinobu Team" or the "Shinobi Team", depending on how the 忍 is supposed to be read.

According to my online dictionary, it has two readings like most kanji: nin (on'yomi) and shinobu (Kun'yomi). 忍び or shinobi is a modified form, mostly used for compounds which requires the alternate reading.

As such, the correct team names should be "Samurai Team" and "Shinobu Team". But we will only really find out with the furigana on top.

The "nin" meaning likely comes from when it's paired with a 者 to make "ninja".

忍び also seems to mean pilfering/stealing/spy/robbery/etc.

EDIT: From Hydra:

Shinobi. "Shinobu" is only used in somebody's name.

So, Shinobi Team it is.

Not gonna question a native Japanese speaker, I'm just a self-student

Ooo! Smokescreen is looking very nice. Can't wait for that one. The shark and phoenix ninja-cons are a little on the tubby side. A mixed bunch from what we can see here. 'Bot modes look good. The lion reminds me of Thundertron. I'll continue to hold my pre-orders.
