WTF? I still haven't gotten anything. The email I got today just told me to basically wait while they sort things out. I ordered one of each of the 3 angels.

NAVI-ko. Better known in the West as the Predacon computer from Beast Wars. The Japanese dub made the computer have its own girlish personality as though it were its own character. The name itself likely came from when, in the English version, Megatron spoke to the computer in the first episode with the command "Navigation, is this the right planet?" While he was more addressing the computer's navigational system to activate, the Japanese might have mistook this for being the computer's name instead, and shortened it to "NAVI", with the "-ko" suffix added in reference to its feminine voice, for the "-ko" suffix in real life is used for Japanese female names (and literally means "child" on its own). "NAVI-ko" could also be a double meaning pun for "navigational computer".

As for its appearance in this manga, back at the Yokohama Transformers Expo that was held back in August 2014, a short promotional manga was produced during the event that featured NAVI-ko as her own character in a new body based on the Prime Cyberverse Airachnid toy minus the helicopter rotor and given new fins to repurpose her altmode as dolphin.

And NOW you guys tell this while there's no more Aircachnid toys to mod.

To be fair, the deluxe figure is horrible and would have proven quite difficult to mod. However, the Legend figure is not too bad and she'll be cute as a button and in scale!
This will also be a challenge for me, to make a tiny weeny custom instead of making a voyager/ultra sized one.
