How's the adve... top 25 countdown coming? I hope youre not planning to name Countdown #1, I watched a piece of my soul die during an E! countdown of guilty pleasures that ended with countdowns as the #1 guilty pleasures. It was a top 100, 5 installments of 20 in 5 days! Shame on me for tuning in.

"Henkei! Henkei! Transformers" quite literally translates as "Transform! Transform! Transformers" and refers to the Japanese releases of the Classics and Universe 2008 figures. "Gentei! Gentei! Transformers" means "Exclusive! Exclusive! Transformers" and refers to those toys that are limited in release while also being a name pun on "Henkei! Henkei!".
The only "Gentei! Gentei!" figures there are are:
- Stuntron Wildrider (redeco of Classics Rodimus)
- Dirge (retool of Classics Ramjet)
- Thrust (retool of Classics Ramjet)
- Strafe w/ Rocketbot (redeco of Universe Cyclonus)
- Dark Skyfire (redeco of Classics Jetfire)
No, those ones are exclusives, but they aren't part of "Gentei! Gentei!" The five I listed are the only "Gentei! Gentei!" exclusives.Diem wrote:And Electrodistruptor Ligier, Ghost Starscream, Skywarp, Thundercracker
and Clear Convoy.

Okay, then someone better go edit TFWiki.net's Henkei! toyline page.Diem wrote:Sabrblade wrote:No, those ones are exclusives, but they aren't part of "Gentei! Gentei!"

ED Ligier is DEFINITELY a Gentei figure. The others I'm not 100% about. I can't find clear enough pictures online.
EDIT: Okay, I'll go halfsies with you. Skywarp and Thumdercracker are Henkei, ED Ligier and G. Starscream are Gentai, and I'm still not sure about clear Convoy.

As I said before, someone better go edit the TFWiki.net Henkei! pages and put the correct info in them, as I was just restating what it said about Henkei! and Gentei!JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:The Gentei line has a similar logo to Henkei but "Henkei"'s (変型!ヘンケイ!) replaced with "Gentei" (限定!ゲンテイ!). As I can read Japanese, let me help you guys out:
Henkei (but still exclusive)
Thundercracker
Skywarp
Convoy Clear Version
Gentei
Ligier, Electro Disruptor Version.
Strafe with Rocketbot
Starscream Ghost Version
Dirge
Thrust
Stuntron Wildrider
By the way, technically speaking the correct translation should be "Transform! Henkei! Transformers". That's because the second "Henkei" is written in katakana, the script used for foreign words like English. As such, in Japanese it's a meaningless proper noun akin to a mere name.

I don't think so, because he has the Decepticon symbol.
