Punctual as ever, the QTransformers season 2 episode 2 has surfaced on the YouTube channel for DLE. Sporting the catchy and pithy title of 'The Road to An Easy To Understand Identification Guide', the episode has Bumblebee and Optimus discussing G1 Autobots and Decepticons, for the benefit of Lockdown, too. Japanese-speakers and not alike can check it out below!

Another episode of the second series accompanying the Q-Transformers toyline from Takara Tomy has been uploaded to the DLE Channel on Youtube, and is embedded below. The title, you ask? Something along the lines of (sorry, Japanese speakers) 'The Road To Our Favorite Characters In Sengoku Basara' - check out the episode to find out what the Capcom game has to do with Optimus Prime, Lockdown and Tracks. Maybe.

Looks like Japan still calls the Quintessons by their original Japanese name of "Quintessa-seijin".

Your regularly scheduled bizarreness from DLE Channel, featuring the Takara Tomy superdeformed Q Transformers is back for the sixth episode of its second season, roughly translating as 'The Road to New Transformers'! Join Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, Lockdown and Drift as they discuss the post-1986 additions to the characters below, in Japanese of course.

Is this some sort of special episode or something? I mean, it has none of the regular cast, as instead we get four G1 Decepticons hosting this one, and there's a brand new ending theme for this one.

Can anyone tell me why everything in Japan is sexual? It's kinda annoying! What the **** Japan? Do the kids there see girls pointing their butts at the camera while only wearing panties all the stinkin time? Is this a cartoon for kids, Or along the lines of Family Guy? And why does Starscream have such a weird voice on there? :BANG_HEAD:

You make it sound like the whole show is like this. The subject of this episode just happened to be the Transformers: Kiss Players line from 2007 (and the animation errors of the G1 cartoon). And a lot of what these four discuss about Kiss Players embarrasses and appalls them.

SillySpringer wrote:And why does Starscream have such a weird voice on there?

That's how he's always sounded in Japan. Japanese Starscream's voice isn't the same high-pitched weasel voice that English Starscream has. It's deeper, classier, and more of the voice of an esteemed ladiesman. Quite befitting that of a smooth-talker, which most Starscreams are known for being:

And many a female took a liking to Starscream's Japanese voice.

Also via fellow Seibertron.com member ScottyP, we have news from the Takara Tomy Q-Transformers site, mentioning the appearance of Arcee, Thundercracker and Skywarp in the upcoming episode 9, 'The Way to Even More Popular People (?)'. The three will be voice, respectively, by Kamisaka Violet Kenjiro Tsuda and Kentaro Ito - though does this also mean the three will receive their own superdeformed tinyformers? We'll let you know as soon as more information becomes available!

Well there you go. Japanese stores have only just been allowed to accept pre-orders, but BBTS doesn't have to follow the rules. But in Va'al's defense I've seen other sites also post that Skywarp and Thundercracker haven't been announced so I guess they've been easily overlooked.

Speaking of which, HLJ has clear pics as well.

Thundercracker
Skywarp
Starscream

Arcee was only just announced as guest star on the second season of Q Transformers, from Takara Tomy and the DLE Channel on YouTube - and here she is, in the new episode titled ' The Road to Dark but Comedic Transformers '! The cast look at Beast Wars and Beast Machines, and its strange Japanese redub; follow along below if you can.

From the DLE Channel on YouTube, we have the latest episode in the Q-Transformers animated series Season 2 - check out embedded below episode 10: 'The Road To A Completely Failed Sequel'. In this episode, it looks like Cliffjumper is trying to explain Car Robots, Micron Legend, Super Link, and Galaxy Force - see what else you can make out if you're also not a Japanese-speaker, and let us know in the Energon Pub.

Man, this show needs to be subbed so badly! The commentary it provides on the brand seems so insightful and self-aware (and hilarious) that we desperately need a proper translation of it.

I wonder, is it a "thing" in the Japanese dubs of Transformers for Starscream to sound more manly than slimy/shrieking?

Via the official site for the DLE Channel aired series of Takara Tomy's Q Transformers, we have a report of the second season of the apparently hilarious, insightful and overall well done shorts coming to DVD and Blu-Ray by December this year! You can find out more information on the site, but it seems that the set will come with added artwork, some behind the scenes and retailer exclusives paper prototype figures for Optimus, Lockdown and Bumblebee. Read on below.
