We also get to find out the names of the drones that accompany the Titan Masters along with the deluxe body figures: the driller is Moguru, or "Mogul",the dino is Servant, and the car is Cargo.

You know, I noticed a trend with the names of the Crashbash drone redecos:
バトラ batora: can be translated as "Butler"
サーバント sābanto: can translated as "Servant"
As in, they're based on words for service jobs. Anybody think those are the intended names, or if there's a pun behind it?

Those box art on the Legends packaging are really stunning! I wonder who is the Japanese artist responsible?

I wonder, might "Moguru" possibly be a portmanteau of "Mogura" and "Bīkuru" ("Vehicle"), as in the drill tank being a "digging vehicle"?JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Driller: モグル moguru, Moguru, or "Mogul". Probably from mogura, or mole

This is going to be the Arms Micron names all over again, isn't it?
Tankette and Cargo are relatively easy, being based on actual words. So we could assume the same for "Mogul" (though I have no clue what the word means). Rarigo, or Japanese "gorilla" spelled backwards, is clever, but "Batora" and "Sarbanto", ugh. You know, I'm gonna stick with Butler and Servant, unless there's a pun hidden somewhere.

And different ways of interpreting concepts. Let's not go there tho, point is we all understood which mold you meant, despite the different names used.

Ah well. They could handwave it as being a new look for him after the Blackballs incident.Cyberpath wrote:Pity that they didn't fix "Vorath's" colours..

Or could it be that the animation got the colors wrong?
Remember how different Stakeout and Doubleclouder was different from the toy and the show?

Kind of out of character, Takara is generally very good with details and cartoon-accuracy. Maybe they thought that he'd look too much like "Stylor" with the all-red limbs. I might paint it myself after it gets here.

Either way, Sakamoto can justify the limb color change in the fiction if he feels a need to do so.

Or maybe the purple limbs were gangmolded with other parts on the Transtector that needed to be purple.Cyberpath wrote:Kind of out of character, Takara is generally very good with details and cartoon-accuracy.
