Now that I got these, their names Romanize out to being:
Ōpī
Bītsū
Shieru
Arue
Gora
Baro
Not quite sure how to transliterate these names correctly, though I'm leaning towards "Bits" and "Shiel" for the Bītsū and Shieru, but those elongated vowels on Bītsū hold me back.
We may have to have someone better familiar with the Japanese language to properly transliterate them.
You're welcome
Unfortunately I have little knowledge of the Japanese language.
For the meantime, you might wanna amend the news post with these Romaji names since one can't always be certain with Google Translate.
Sounds good to me, done.
Looks like someone on TFWiki is already working on transliterating the names. Thus far, Ōpī is "O.P.", and Bītsū is "Beetwo". I'll keep an eye out for the rest and let you know.
Sounds like their partner Micron's names have something to do with the name of the partner:
Optimus Prime: O.P. (initials)
Bumblebee: B-2 (two B's, BumbleBee)
Cliffjumper: C.L. (remember, "shi" can also be "si" as it's grouped with the "s" kana)
Ratchet: R.A.
Megatron: Golla (gorilla)
Skywarp: Burro (it's a drill, so I'm using the Beast Machines Mol repaint's proposed name)
The resident Rewind... well, half of one
- Jelze Bunnycat =:3
Looking for:
- TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him
)
- PotP Punch head
- TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one)
- CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad
- TR Twinferno & Grotusque
- Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1 (plus repro Victorion hands and feet?)
