"Seibertron" Streak? Shouldn't it be "Cybertron" Streak?

"Seibertron" is the planet (our "Cybertron"), "Cybertron" is the faction (our "Autobot").

Silverstreak is the official Transformer of Seibertron.com. That's what they're saying.

"Seibertron" is how it is spelled in Katakana. You probably are correct, it refers to the Autobots.

Sorry Stormrider. I don't mean to contradict but the katakana says "Saibatron", ie. Cybertron.

That is correct.

Saibertron = Cybertron (faction)

Seibertron =/= Cybertron (faction)

or

Cybertron (planet) = Seibertron ("say-ber-tron")

Autobot = Cybertron (faction) = Saibertron ("sigh-ber-tron")
