I'm hoping this hints at a Metrotitan repaint... plus a retool in orange of his little car buddy.

What's curious is that the cameos mostly stem from a semi-unplaced piece of Transformers continuity: Robot Masters. Most blatantly so with Delta Seeker loosing an arm to X-Gunner, like his Robot Masters bio said. Well, makes it a bit easier to place the new characters from that line

If anyone's wondering, what Straxus is doing to Metrotitan is he's infusing him with Megatron's evil nature, since Megatron lost it in the last story.

LMAO @ the last panel:
"Nice one Metroplex!
You WIPED him good!"
What, did Metroplex go potty and need his butt wiped? Surely it was supposed to be translated as "whipped?" Crazy Engrish

Metroflex? Is that a typo, or is that what Takara have named the grappling arm on Metroplex?

"Wiped" as in "wiped out" is a phrase that can be used in that context.MegaDump wrote:LMAO @ the last panel:

Ohshima chose to use the original pre-2007 Japanese G1 names for these comics, so Metroplex is "Metroflex" and Optimus is "Super Convoy" (being in his Nucleon Quest body, that is).Sodan-1 wrote:Metroflex? Is that a typo, or is that what Takara have named the grappling arm on Metroplex?

Metroflex: メトロフレックス
Metroplex: メトロプレックス
The difference lies in the フ (fu) vs. プ (pu).

And, to be honest, there isn't all that much a difference between "Metroflex" and "Metroplex" when spelled in Japanese:Sodan-1 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Ohshima chose to use the original pre-2007 Japanese G1 names for these comics, so Metroplex is "Metroflex" and Optimus is "Super Convoy" (being in his Nucleon Quest body, that is).

Yeah, in my (small) understanding of Japanese, there are a few letters you can "upgrade" to a slightly different sound by adding a tiny circle or double hatch to the character. Ka to Ga is another one... Ta to Da... Ha to Ba or Pa. (Correct me if I'm referencing these incorrectly.)
It's all really interesting how the language is constructed, and how the letters are almost always pairs of English letters — a consonant and vowel. (except for N. N is a loner. Ha.)
Understanding it a little bit helps wrap your head around how odd translations come about.

This is a weird choice for a thread to post this news in.
