Hello everyone I'm new here. I have a question though.
Seibertron? Isnt it Spelled Cybertron?

Seibertron is the original japanese spelling, while Cybertron is the name everywhere else.

Furthermore, while in Japan Cybertron was called Seibertron, the Autobots in Japan were called Cybertrons.

So, in Japan:

CYBERTRON = SEIBERTRON
AUTOBOT = CYBERTRON

What fun!

QFT.

WELCOME TO SIEBERTRON.
WARNIG SIEBETRON CONTAINS NUTS

And, as I learned, it's pronounced:

Say-bur-tron

Not, S-eye-bur-tron.

And know you know.

And Decepticon = Destron

Welcome to Seibertron.com my friend

Don't forget, the Japanese actually don't have the ability to make the "Cy" syllable. Hence the necessity for "Sei".

Basically
CYBERTRON = SEIBERTRON
AUTOBOT = CYBERTRON

Its a confuddled

Well, I assume for "Cybertron" they say "Sai". Thus, the people are called "Saiburutorons" (or whatever...) while the planet is called "Seiburutoron" (or whatever...).


Interesting to note, "sei" I believe is added onto names in reference to planets or stars (like how "-san" can mean mountain, so "fuji-san" == mt. fuji // not to be confused with using -san in reference to people Ishida-san == "Mr. Ishida").
Thus, that might be a reason the planet is called Seibertron while the people are Saibertrons/Cybertrons. It's a play on words in Japanese. That's just a guess though.

Edited to clarify something
