Ninja Team
Hishomaru on top: GoHisho

Basically, drop either "Samurai" or "-maru" and add "Go" in front.

1. Nice one UltraPrimal
2. I'll be getting those combiners as I need some.
3. Hasbro better do something different next year. Anything but adapt this.

This seems like a step back, honestly. If it does come here, it's kinda switchin' gears in the wrong direction.

It's likely due to those two human boys having very stereotypical Shounen anime "young male hero" designs.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Anyway, why are some saying it will be like Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Bakugan or even B-Daman and the like (coincidentally, the only kind that gets adapted for the US. Odd...). If anything, I expect it to be like Brave, Eldoran or even Machine Robo Rescue, as I'm not seeing "Gotta collect'em/catch'em all" anywhere. There are more animes than that, people
That's because those Japanese late-G1 guys and these new guys are designed to resemble the classic Super Robot anime style of the 1960s-1970s.Optimizzy wrote:I know this seems strange since Transformers are from Japan but...has anyone ever thought mow much Japanese original characters look nothing like other Transformers? Dai Atlas, Deathsaurus, Star Convoy...and these. They look more like Gundam than transformers. They are too ornate and there are far too many colors. It's not like there are rules for making a transformer but these seem like built machines rather than "living" things. As Gundam they look cool. As Transformers, I'd pass as they look like some closeout-store knockoff.

The combiners do not look like transformers... The aesthetics are kinda off... :/

Well, it's the first Japanese-original series created without Hasbro's input since Car Robots/RiD.Mkall wrote:This is the first Japanese only anime since what, BWII? Of course maybe Hasbro will dub over it and air it on The Hub (dubbed on The Hub) and this'll be the next TF Series that has been teased.
I don't even think "Samurai" is part of their name, since the listings we got from that one Twitter-based news post didn't have them. i think it was just a descriptor some online retailers used.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:GoKenzan and GoGekisou?

Have you forgotten Robots in Disguise, Armada, and bits and pieces of Energon and Cybertron? All were anime-like, and they all did well (Energon was meh, but to me, it was one of the best series because of the butt-tons of homages).

Well, okay, it gets more interesting by the time Liokaiser is finally filler, but the majority of it is padded filler in which almost nothing significant happens, and many of the characters are wooden archetypes who are all almost as formal and uptight at TF: Prime Optimus.
Star Saber himself literally has the personality of a cardboard cut out (since, well, he is one. A cardboard cut-out leader-type, that is).
Ginrai is the only Japanese Autobot commander who ever had any legitimate depth and/or developmental growth. Not to mention hot-blooded awesomeness.
If by "Boring" you mean "rich in storytelling with compelling action, lively colorful characters, intense plots, wondrous enchantment and mysticism, and full of lore and excellence", then yup!Superwheeljack wrote:You sure you're not talking about Masterforce? Because that's boring
Because they don't have any? Once they're in their Suit Modes, their bodies were biologically altered into Super Robot Lifeforms with no traces of any organic components (aside from their heads, which still resembled those of carbon-based lifeforms).Superwheeljack wrote:The entire story is weird, how can kids survive their back breaking and their bones twisted
Well, Blood, Gilmer, and Dauros did get some great bits of comedy as the series went on.Superwheeljack wrote:The villans are laughable.
The word they're saying is "Choujin", which only means "Super-God". And, the Japanese aren't talking about the Judeo-Christian God anyway, since Pure Land Buddhism is the main religion over there. Plus, it's not like the show is explicitly preaching against Christianity or the like. It still holds the same morals of good triumphing over evil and such, and is a rarity in TF cartoons in which a good chunk of the Cons gain redemption in the end.Superwheeljack wrote:Also, I'm surprised christian tf's arent complaining over the Super-God part....

Sabrblade wrote:Also, the OP needs a correction. The ninja combiner is NOT a Decepticon.
The plot for Go! is as follows: As an intended sequel to the Beast Hunters story, the Autobots succeeded in sealing away Dragotron (Predaking) with the help of an artifact called a "Legendisk". Now, Team Prime has left Earth to oppose the various Predacons running loose across the galaxy. However, some Preds still remain on Earth, and hunting them down has been tasked to six new Autobots (the two new combiner trios), who are three samurai and three ninjas.
Whether or not this will actually match what happens in the Prime Beast Hunters cartoon, however, remains to be seen.
