I'm pretty sure it's also called "Transformers Animated", only, you know, Toransuformaa Animeitedo. I don't know if they will use the Western names for the TFs themselves like for the Bayformers, or whether they'll revert.Sabrblade wrote:Yes! Finally! I've been dying to see Japan's take on the Animated toys and story. While I'm saddedned to see the names "Optimus Prime" and "Bumblebee" being used over "Convoy" and "Bumble", this is still awesome. I wonder what they're gonna call the series.

As opposed to perfectly sensible themes like Processor over Matter?
I haven't watched all of RiD (which is perhaps the worst offender for BURNING JUSTICE) but I can't think of an example from any series that really galled me. The Cybertron Defense Team's creation? Brilliant. Starscream fighting his way through all the Autobots to get the Omega Lock. Unconvincing, but awesome.Counterpunch wrote:Diem wrote:Hard Hacker wrote:Just so long as they don't put in non-sensical themes like BURNING JUSTICE, I'm cool with it.

All things considered...'Burning Justice' is a Nihon-y trope that could be happily avoided...

But maybe I just think like the target audience of ten-year-old boys! :wink:

In the English language version of the show, at least they TRIED to make it work in a logical manner, as surprise of somehow having this great power. I'll give them that, even if it is rather jarring (This is somebody who LIKES Cybertron, by the way).
Processor over Matter works... ish. It's a skill exclusive to only one type of Cybertronian warrior. At least everybody didn't do it after the skill was revealed.
Still, it's ESP, which makes it BS. If anybody tells me I'm wrong, and the ESP exist, I'll ROFL.

Tell them they don't and they'll RotF.

If the show goes down really well in Japan maybe we'll see some new molds, but otherwise the best we can expect is decent repaints.Nekoman wrote:I'd expect a few new items, but I wouldn't tell anyone to get their hopes up for too much.
This will work best as something to get alternatives to Hasbro's sloppier releases (deluxe Bumblebee).
