We don't actually know what his name really is. "Untite" is currently just a guess. His name is spelled アンタイト ("Antaito"), but seeing as it's in Katakana rather than Hiragana, it's non-Japanese in origin, so your best guess is as good as any until Sakamoto comes right out and says what his name is supposed to be.AllNewSuperRobot wrote:Nice to see something Beast Era drawn well.

On the one hand, good to see a new Bird Bot redeco for the line. On the other, an all-round worse redeco for Jawbreaker. Pretty bad name too. "Untite"

Japanese continuity was built around the cartoons. To them, whatever the cartoons said was absolute truth. "Call of the Primitives" said Unicron was built by Primacron, so that was an indisputable fact for them. They never had any problem with it because they never had anything that said otherwise. The Marvel comics with their "evil god" backstory for Unicron never came to Japan officially until the 2010s. And Beast Wars Neo even made it a plot point that Japanese Unicron is specifically not a god, with his ultimate goal being that wants to become a god.AllNewSuperRobot wrote:Why did the Japanese arm of HasTak make their version of Transformers lore so ..goofy?

It's basically like how, in the UK, the Marvel comics were viewed as the definitive version of the Transformers in the 1980s, since the G1 cartoon was so scarcely broadcasted there.First-Aid wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Japanese continuity was built around the cartoons.

And it's rather consistent with what Unicron's power has been shown to be capable of. Back in Transformers: Energon, Alpha Quintesson managed to harness the power of Unicron from his dead body to recreate all of his planets that Unicron had devoured years and years ago. Of course, when he was finally revived later, Unicron himself was none too happy about his power being used in such a way.
And, as was revealed just two years ago, the Angolmois Energy of Unicron in Japanese G1/Japanese BW is actually Primus's energy, which Primacron had corrupted (after trapping Primus in the body of a primitive) and used to create Unicron.
A second comic for Dark Amber Leo Prime, part of the "End of G1 Universe" series, has been posted to TakaraTomy's website. TFWiki member Star Spangled Sam has translated it into English, and MrRald has lettered the comic with Sam's translation.
It is the second part of a two-part story, so if you haven't seen the first comic yet, check it out here first.
