Yep I did.
But it was more of a "Typo" then a mistake with the facts.My facts were still right I just got the names mixed up.

As for the whole Pretenders and Micromasters thing, non of them ever came to the U.S. you're useing a mix of U.S. Characters who happen to share the same name as a completly different character from Japan. Either that or the "two" characters are actully the same with one being an upgrade of the other but that I can't say for sure. Probly more likely that there were names used both in the U.S. and Japan but for completly different characters which would mean the Pretenders and Micromasters were new names for their audience.
Since "Sabrblade" already addressed some of this.....
The Pretenders and Micromasters did come to the U.S. in both the toy line and the comics so saying that I'm mixing Japanese characters with those of the U.S. is ridiculos.

because I'm not doing so.
Fact is of the "names" I listed,the U.K. Exclusive "Skydive" was the only one that was not seen in the U.S.
Also many of the names of the Pretenders in Japan were completly different.So they were not new names nor were they upgraded bodies for other characters.
The "Japan names" for these characters has nothing to do with this conversation.The toys I'm talking about were all released in the U.S. by Hasbro before the G1 line ended.
The characters I mention were all "Different" characters with the same names according to the info on their toy bios.And they werent the only ones to do so.Only one of the names I listed were even on the same teams.
Granted these toys did not make it to the G1 cartoon before it was canceled but they did get released in the U.S. and made it to the G1 Marvel comics which was the the original
"medium" for the fiction.
I know that by the way "YOU" view things, if they didnt make it to the cartoon they dont count.But thats a poor way of judging a characters value.And unlike the other lines, G1 started out as a comic book and not a cartoon.
I cant speak for wether the "Micromasters" would have gotten repersented in the toon if it were not canceled but i happen to know for a "FACT" that the "Predenders" were planned for season 4 and 5.
You should also keep in mind that the G1 cartoon was a
"U.S. made cartoon" not a Japanese cartoon that was dubbed for the U.S. and abroad.
Hasbro had no plans to start importing Takara Headmasters or Masterforce serries for the U.S. tv markets.Hasbro and Marvel had planed out the production of season 4 and the begining of season 5 with their own stories like they did preveiously with seasons 1 threw 3.
So even if the G1 cartoon was not canceled we would not have gotten a dubbed version of Takara's TF serries.
