Not even that. The Japanese call it "Dark Side Moon". No "of the" for them.gavinfuzzy wrote:Doubledealer25 wrote:why do people continue to call dark of the moon, "dark SIDE of the moon"? it annoys the hell out of me

Yeah, this is what the Japanese called the movie.... Right or wrong, it doesnt matter... We just follow what they listed.
Dark Side Moon, not Dark Side of the Moon.....
Just like MP-09 Rodimus Convoy, not Rodimus Prime....

Not bad translation, more like creative liberties considering the limits of Japanese phonetics: the Japanese can't say "of" like we do, due to their f's being closer to an "h". Revenge of the Fallen was just called "Revenge" for the same reasons.
And I want that toy!

o.O...I think it sounds cool. And like 2-3 people already said it's "Dark Side Moon".
He looks awesome but I dont really dig the transclucent parts and plus after I already bought the CV Optimus,the legends version of Optimus suddenly looks crappy xD.

Why can't Hasbro do this with the Battle Blades voyager mold?
