"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. :P

"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")
