I got you!
I only learned about the name switches when I was researching the characters to post the galleries. I knew about Vega and M Bison, but didn't know about the others who had name switches.
That, plus Capcom felt that the name "Vega" wasn't intimidating enough for the main villain. Frankly, they could have just added the word "Lord" to his name and call him "Lord Vega" to give his name that extra intimidation element, since the Japanese version would have likewise referred to him as "Vega-sama" in a similar fashion.-Kanrabat- wrote:Seibertron wrote:Stormtalon wrote:Thanks.

If I remember correctly, the name switches was at first because Capcom USA wouldn't take any chances about the obvious reference with the boxer's "M. Bison" name. Then this boxer named "Vega" sounded daff so Barlog had to enter the dance.
I learned about this almost 30 mother fokking years ago in the EGM magazine. Back when video games magazines were relevant and good.

This is basically supposed to Transformers cosplay so changing Prime's head out for someone else would have never worked.

If that's the angle, why not?

Because then there'd be nothing about it recognizable as Prime. May as well be Octane.

That makes Prime a bad cosplayer though. If at least a sticker for the mouthplate featuring a pair of lips drawn in crayon was included, it would have been hilarious and on point with the whole "cosplay" idea.
