The charts aren't designed the map out every source of inspiration behind the new figures. They are mostly a tool to help decide which version to get (Hasbro or Takara) based on which is closer to the cartoon (or toy) since this is what I'm interested in. If a character has a Masterpiece figure I might throw it in for fun, to see how its cartoon-accuracy compares with the new figure.Randomhero wrote:Doesn't matter if you like the comics are not.

Even if it's a mold that based directly on a non-cartoon comic design more than anything? In the case of Voyager Brainstorm, it's based on Nick Roche's MTMTE design, with the Hasbro version reflecting that in its deco while Takara tried coloring it more like the 1987 toy's deco. In this example, it's a mold sculpted to resemble neither the original toy nor any of the cartoon models, and is colored by both companies in non-cartoon-based decos.Cyberpath wrote:The charts aren't designed the map out every source of inspiration behind the new figures.

Nope. I ignore the japanese continuity. That there is my updated Hi-Q no matter what it says on the box!

It might say Hi Q on the box, who knows.

But it already says Ginrai on the box

We have pics of this toy in box? Can you give me a link, that would be newsworthy.

That varies from place to place. His real name on the site with this listing was actually Super Jinrai with a J. So I dont know if that will be there too. The main reason I dontk now anymore is because a lot of Convoys have become Optimus in English on the Japanese boxes.

But Ginrai isn't a Convoy. Japan knows he's not the same character as Optimus like Convoy is. They're the ones who made the distinction in the first place.william-james88 wrote:Kurona wrote:No, just the fact it's called LG35 Ginrai kind of hints that that's what's gonna be printed on the box

I see. But in this case, Ginrai doesn't have an English name (outside of some DVD subtitles that just used the Japanese name).william-james88 wrote:I didn't mean that. Was just giving examples about English names on the box that weren't the Japanese names. Like when convoy is written as optimus. LG 02 is a good example.
