I meant "Dia" as in Diaclone, Dia Atlas, or Dia Gunder. Am I spelling those wrong? Or do does "Dia" mean nothing, but just sound cool?JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:"Dai"? It sure does, it usually means "Big", but more abstractly it means "Great" or "Grand". It's often used in combination with "-Oh".Cobotron wrote:Jelz, does "Dia" mean something in Japanese also?

You're spelling "Dai Atlas" and "Daigunder" wrong, but "Diaclone" is correct. According to FunPub, Diaclone comes from "diamond" and "cyclone" (hence the "Cymond" universe for anything pre-TF related), but I think they were grasping at straw there
Thanks for the answers J.
I'm excited to see a close up of this guys head sculpt.
