Sailor Moon x Transformers Super-God Masterforce Chapter 4: Friendship between Ginrai and Maktoko Kino

Previously after the Decepticon Pretenders and Headmaster Juniors were defeated by the Sailor Guardians which they then teamed up with the Autobots against the Decepticons. Meanwhile, two Autobot Godmasters named Ginrai and Kaito show up but are hunted down having their trucker friends sending the young teen Godmasters into a rage and distraught beating the life out of Hydra and Buster.

Meanwhile the Decepticons Lugnut, Bludgeon, and Soundwave join in Devil Z’s Decepticons after they follow the retreating Darkwing brothers back to their base. Devil Z has another plan to eliminate the Autobots and Sailor Guardians alike.

Find out how the story continues?

In the Game Crown Center Arcade Usagi and the other Sailors in their civilian forms with the Autobot Headmaster Juniors were trying out a new Sailor V “as Shūta was trying it and was good at it.

“For the first time playing this you are doing good Shūta look how far you have done!” said Minako excitedly as she and everyone else cheered him on.

“I did play some video games before so this is a piece of cake” said Shūta as he played Sailor V doing well in it.

“I heard Ginrai-san and Kaito-Kun are heading over to Japan today” said Shūta.

“Those Godmasters we saw battling the other day? With their help, we’ll be able to take down the Decepticons before the summer even starts” said Minako while watching the Shūta playing.

“I hope we can be good friends with them” said Usagi as she watched Shūta play the Sailor V game.

Meanwhile, in the Decepticon base of operations, everyone watches stock footage of Ginrai, Kaito, the Senshi, and the Autobot Headmaster Juniors in battle following them battling the Darkwing brothers Hydra and Buster.

“Cursed Ginrai and Kaito! We will without fail track and eliminate them” said Hydra.

“And their pathetic Sailor allies too! We will not fail to eliminate them both!” said Buster

“I am worried about the other remaining Godmasters falling into the hands of humans who would willingly join in the Autobot cause and if that happens we’ll never be able to beat our enemy especially with their Sailor allies” said Mega as he looks at Giga.

“We must find the Godmasters quickly as possible before the Autobots do and recruit them to the Decepticon cause” said Giga as Blood rushes into the room.

“Lord Giga! Lady Mega! I have some good news. I have received an intelligence report that someone that seems to be the Autobot Godmaster Ginrai had got on a boat in America and is heading over to Japan” says the Pretender Blood as he rushes into the room they are in.

“There doesn't seem to be isn’t enough Blood!” yelled Mega as she looks at Giga.

“We should send the Headmaster Juniors to investigate and look into it” said Mega.

“Yes” replied Giga.

Later on the docks the Autobot Headmaster Juniors and the Senshi were at the docks not too far from Juban as the ship they traveled arrived to welcome Ginrai and Kaito as they were in a crowd.

“Look they are” said Shūta.

“Huh?” said Minerva

“Really?” said Cab as they saw Ginrai and Kaito leave the boat.

“Mr. Ginrai! Mr. Kaito!’ said Shūta, Minerva, and Cab as they and Senshi go to welcome them as Ginrai and Kaito.

“Hey you came to greet us?” asked Ginrai as everyone else came to him and Kaito.

“Yes!” Shūta, Minerva, and Cab as their Sailor allies in their civilian forms came to greet them too.

“It’s been 2 years since either me or Kaito been in Japan...” said Ginrai as they unload Ginrai and Kaito Transtector trucks’ as the Decepticon Headmaster Junior watches from a nearby building spying on them.

“It would be a great feat to defeat Ginrai, Kaito, and the Sailor Guardians in one swoop” said Bullhorn as they saw them unload the Transtector trucks.

“Finally something to show off our might but with the Sailor Guardians around it will be impossible” said Cancer.

“Luckily with our new recruits we can turn the tables on them” said Wilder as Bullhorn cracked his knuckles.

Later on as Headmaster Junior Autobots, Ginrai and Kaito driving in their Trantector vehicles with the senshi riding in them heading back to their base however the Decepticon Headmaster Juniors in their beast altmodes were planning an ambush in the forest nearby along with Lugnut, Soundwave and Bludgeon hidden waiting for the command to strike.

“Gahhhhh why I have to take orders from pathetic Earthlings?! We should strike now!” said Lugnut who is losing his patience.

“We have to maintain over cover Lugnut for now we must follow their rules we are even lucky to be welcomed in by this ‘Devil Z’ being I don’t know how they take orders from a plasma globe must be more to him than meets the eye... when will those brats give the command to move because I’m rusting out here” said Bludgeon in cover with Soundwave and Lugnut.

Shūta however saw the Decepticon Headmaster Juniors putting a tail on them and so he and Cab they used the Masterforce to become their robotic videos as they quickly got exosuits and “Transform Head on!” and headed straight into the forest and stopped their Decepticon counterparts from going any further.

“You three are not going any further!” said Shūta as he and Cab intercepted their foes.

So Cancer, Wilder and Bullhorn all yelled

“Transform Head on!” said them already in their exosuit forms as they transform into heads for the Transtector bodies transforming into their robotic forms and attach and they all charge at each other.

Minerva, Ginrai and Kaito along with their allies were wondering what is taking them so long as a large jet fly above them and then transforms into Lugnut and then slams into the ground fist first as they all get caught in powerful fiery explosion knocking everyone away off the freeway as they scream in surprise from the knockback.

‘I had had enough of waiting! I have decided to strike now and with them off guard i striked!!” said Lugnut.

“I don;t think they are defeated easily look” said Bludgeon as everyone now transformed after recovering from Lugnut’s speech.

“Mars fire soul soul” said Sailor Mars she sends fire at Lugnut.

“Foolish girl fire can’t stop me, my desire keeps me fire resistant and-” said Lugnut before being interrupted as Jupiter chants an attack.

“Oh shut up! Jupiter Supreme Thunder!” chanted Sailor Jupiter as she sends a powerful lighting blast at Lugnut shocking him good.

“Gahhhh what kind of power do those fleshlings possess!?” said Lugnut, being shocked by Jupiter.

“Those humans are emitting energy nothing like I ever detected before. Suggestion withdraw” said Soundwave

“Very well Soundwave you win this time for now but we will win” said Bludgeon as he, Lugnut and Soundwave take flight into the air in retreat.

As Shūta and Cab were battling Cancer, Bullhorn and Wilder, everyone else soon joined the Headmaster Junior Decepticons.

“So this is what you two were up to” said Ginrai now in robot mode.

“You could have told us earlier and maybe we wouldn’t get robo-falcon punched! By this one eyed bulky Decepticon!” yelled Sailor Mars as she dusts off her outfit from Lugnut using his P.O.K.E punch on everyone else earlier on everyone else waiting for Cab and Shūta to come back.

“Hehehe sorry i forgot” said Shūta nervously.

Ginrai and Kaito run into battle as Ginrai elbows and rams into Cancer, and knocks down Bullhorn and dust flies everywhere where only Wilder and Bullhorn were there with Cancer as Wilder gets and looks for Bullhorn downed.

“Bullhorn! Bullhorn! Cancer’s gone!” said Wilder as he rushes over to his ally

“What!?” yelled Bullhorn, shocked he and Wilder went looking for Cancer as the Autobots drove back to their base with Cancer prisoner.

“An Decepticon Headmaster Junior!” said Hawk as he saw Ginrai holding an unconscious Cancer knocked out from battle.

“I thought he might be of some use” said Ginrai.

“You sure it’s a good idea?” said Ami.

Once Cancer woke up he was cuffed to bed with arms separated so he doesn’t try to escape while being questioned.

“Let me go you bastard Autobots! Uncuff me right now!” said Cancer squirms in his restraints.

Minerva and her sailor allies wasn’t fond of it as Usagi and friends watched from the monitor.

“Usagi I don’t think Ginrai questioning Cancer like that isn’t an good idea even for someone like” said Ami as she look at Usagi.

“I agree Ami even though Cancer did bad things even i believe he shouldn’t be treated like this” said Usaig agreeing with her friend as Ginrai already left the room with Hawk.

“I thought Mr. Ginrai was nicer than that! Putting cuffs on Cancer like that while injured is cruel!” said Minerva upset Ginrai aggressively putting cuffs on Cancer while injured.

“I agree how about I have an word wit-” said Rei before Makoto cutted her off in mid sentence.

“That will probably make it worse. I agree that Ginrai is wrong but... I have an feeling why he did it” said Makoto as Minerva went to Cancer

“LEAVE ME ALONE!” said Cancer, still squirming as Minerva went up to him.

“Minerva, there is nothing to be concerned about Cancer here why are you helping an enemy?” asked Shūta.

“I can;t leave him alone and I don’t want us to look no better than the enemy here” said Minerva as Shūta and Cab get nervous on her getting mad a bit as he went to treat Cancers injuries.

Back with Usagi and her friends still upset about what Ginrai did.

“What do you mean Makoto?” asked Minako.

“I mean Ginrai-san is emotionally unstable from losing his friends to the Decepticons recently and so is Kaito-kun too so it’s probably because he aggressively did it to Cancer” said Makoto.

“Makoto is right, it's probably what led to his current actions. He's mad at Cancer’s group for going bad things to him and Kaito. He probably was not in the best emotional state but still what he did wasn’t acceptable” replied Luna.

From the distance Ginrai was talking to Hawk in his life that he felt he was being manipulated and how he went to America for freedom that is until the Decepticons ruined.

“I just felt like I was constantly being manipulated by someone. I was anyway on the edge and couldn’t do my job! And now the Decepticons are after my life! I just can’t take it!” said Ginrai upset as he slams a masterbrace he’s holding onto the group leaving the room upset to where Cancer is as Hawk follows him.

“Hey kid! You’re gonna tell us all you know about the Godmasters” said an angry Ginrai demanding to Cancer.

“Hmph!” yelled Cancer to Ginrai as he prepared to do more

“Oh no Ginrai don’t!” yelled Makoto as she and her friends ran to where everyone else is as Makoto goes to stop GInrai.

“Ginrai stop! This is going too far here! Cancer and his friends may do bad things but shouldn’t treat them like they did to us back makes us no better than they are so please stop Ginrai! This is wrong” said Makoto as she grabbed Ginrai’s left arm while he tried to reach Cancer.

“Let go of my arm! Don’t interfere” yelled Ginrai.

“Mr. Ginrai she’s right this is going too far! I thought you were better than this” said Minerva as everyone in the room freezes up as she grabs a drink juice and gives it to Cancer to his shock he takes it anyways as Ginrai quickly calms down.

“I,,, I’m sorry for my actions there” said Ginrai as Makoto let go of his arm.

“Fine I’ll tell you but it’s only because it won’t give the Decepticons any disadvantage or anything” said Cancer complying.

“From what I was told by Lord Giga and Lady Mega was that…” Said Cancer as a flashback happens with Giga and Mega explaining what Godmasters are.

“The Godmasters are super-god robots. Gods from space, especially they were messengers for us Decepticons. These Godmasters came to Earth in the ancient past. When the Godmasters arrived at Earth, 8 were split from the main body. 7 parts fell to the land while the main body landed in the sea.The months and years passed. The Godmaster that fell in the trench awoke in the present after a world ending event,,, it took the form of an Transtector and waited for human life to bond with them. The human life was myself and Mega” said Giga in the flashback.

“As for the Godmasters that fell to the land, they similarly took the forms of machines. Eventually two came into our possession in the form of the Darkwing brothers Hydra and Buster” said Mega in the flashback.

“However 2 turned on us and bonded to the ones named Ginrai and Kaito, Now they ally with the Autobots” said Giga in the flashback.

“Now we seek to eliminate them both and we must bring the remaining 4 to us to serve the Decepticon cause no matter what” said Mega in the flashback.

“WIth the 4 Godmasters cabbile of the power of Ten-Chi-Jin we will not be able to rule the Earth but the entire universe!” said Mega in the Flashback.

“Although there are rumors of some more Godmasters out there separated from the 8 in space landing on another world than here” said Giga as the flashback ends with everyone in the room.

“So there are 4 possibly more Godmasters” said Ginrai.

“Those 4 will belong to the Decepticons!” said Cancer as everyone leaves the room.

“So our trucks are from outer space” asked Kaito.

“Yes. Using the Masterforce to link super-god robots, the Godmasters and humans can become a spirit possessing an iron body and strong will. In other words ‘god on’ onto a Transtector by bonding in other words they can become super robotic life forms using the powerful Ten-Chi-Jin to their arsenal” said Hawk.

“He did say an world ending event I know what he referring to…” said Ami.

“Go on, you know something about it?” said Hawk.

“Recently we defeated an group known as the Death Busters who threaten to destroy Earth and nearly succeeded” said Ami.

“Death Busters so that is what caused mysterious storm” said Hawk

“How do you know Hawk?” asked Usagi.

“Long story Usagi” said Hawk.

“Oh… well we had a rough time with stopping our own group in form of Sailor Uranus, Neptune and Pluto from killing Sailor Saturn who they believed to destroy the world, we had to deal with Witches 5, Daimons, Pharaoh 90 and Mistress 9 especially… we’ll explain later” said Usagi.

Eventually they let Cancer go and rejoined the other Decepticons as they returned to base however Laserbeak was watching the whole time as he flew off undetected.

Mega was worried on what the Autobots did to Cancer after all she had an motherly passion for Cancer like he’s her adoptive son as she scolds Wilder and Bullhorn for their careless actions.

“Because of your careless actions you let Cancer get captured by the Autobots and now he had to go through cruel circumstances! But I’m glad you’re safe Cancer” said Mega as she hugs Cancer.

“You two better think of what I told you because you won’t go off so easy next time” said Mega as she carried Cancer off as Giga looks at the two.

“You two better not let anyone get captured again after this or there will be consequences” said Giga as he left the room.

Back in the Autobot base where everyone else was about to leave and settle down for the night as everyone was about make their leave and say good bye as Ginrai and Makoto looks face to face.

“Listen Makoto I’m sorry about what I did. I kinda got carried away with the interrogation there” said Ginrai looking at Makoto blushing a bit.

“I forgive you Ginrai. You weren’t the only one to loose somone you cared about I lost my parents to plane crash years ago and I still haven’t gotten over it still you know” said Makoto blushing a bit.

“I’m sorry to hear it. Maybe we can be friends Makoto-Chan?” said Ginrai.

“Sure” said Makoto. As Ginrai would leave smiling as Minako looks at Makoto.

“You like Ginrai Makoto don’t you?” Said Minako teased.

“Well he goes look good but it was awhile since I dated and we just met” Said Matoko embarrassed.

“Man she’s an pretty girl there. I did want to find a nice girl to be my girlfriend who knows maybe it will be her heheheh” said Ginrai to his thoughts.

Back in the Decepticon base Laserbeak returns after an mission.

“Laserbeak return” said Soundwave as Laserbeak transforms and goes into Soundwave’s chest stored for later.

“So Soundwave got any info on the enemy?” said Mega.

“Yes Lady Mega” said Soundwave as he transforms into his radio form and plays an message.

“Well we did have fought evil beings before Mistress 9, Queen Beryl, Death Phantom and defeated them so we will be able to defeat them so defeating the Decepticons will be easy” played an recording of Usagi that Laserbeak.

“So this isn’t the first time the Sailor Guardians fought an group before? They might be harder to defeat than we thought” said Giga.

“Queen Beryl was defeated? She is definitely powerful so if it’s true than we might have an problem on our hands?” said Blood.

“Luckily we got an plan up our hands and it involves Soundwave” said Mega. As the scene shows an music auditorium on it.

To be continued.

Are The Names In Anime Originally Japanese Or English? It All Depends On What You Grew Up With

I am making this post to explain what I have observed from the English-speaking community.

We know many people really like anime, right? We grew up with shows like Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Sonic X, Digimon Adventures, the Transformers Unicron Trilogy, and for much older fans, Voltron, Robotech, Star Blazers, and Battle Of The Planets. The only thing is, these shows, originally in the Japanese language, were dubbed in English because many marketers didn’t think people in America, Canada, or any other English-speaking country would enjoy a foreign show, even if it had English subtitles. The only problem is, many anime shows targeted to younger fans (mainly children) were heavily censored and the dialogue was changed to make it more family-friendly. The upside is, if companies like World Events Productions and 4Kids Entertainment did not dub the shows, we wouldn’t be able to access the original shows with English subtitles, and we can fully understand how Japanese media differ from American, Canadian, or English media.

Anyway, I remember when I was younger watching bits and pieces of Robotech (a mesh of the Super Dimension Fortress Macross trilogy) with my father, who had it on VHS. Then I remember watching a few episodes and movies of Pokemon a little later after I witnessed Robotech. I also remember going to a now-defunct video store where Sonic X was playing (before I even knew the Sonic The Hedgehog franchise). They all shared one thing in common; they were all in the English language. And as I have seen the shows, I noticed at times the mouths do not match the dialogue; and I never understood why the animation was different from media like Disney, Don Bluth, or the Loony Tunes.

I did not know what anime really is until I was in middle school and high school. I didn’t even understand the ‘fetish’ of such design. That is, until I witnessed a few girls watching the original Sailor Moon anime in English subtitles. As I viewed a few scenes, I noticed the characters’ mouths matched the language being spoken; and the tone was more serious and less silly like most Western cartoon shows. Not to mention, most characters look more realistic, such as having five fingers instead of four.

And then I got curious with original Japanese anime shows (back in the olden days, anime was called Japanimation, and later was respectfully called anime), and I came across a mecha show called Beast King Golion (the original show for Voltron: Defender Of The Universe). I watched a few episodes with English subtitles, and I noticed how dark it was compared to American children’s shows (they show blood, death, real-life situations that adults can understand, and they swear too, usually saying words like “hell,” “damn,” “crap,” “bastard,” “bitch,” and the occasional “s**t”). Then I saw Voltron, and I noticed how much the dub changed the whole plot of the anime; violence was toned down, hardly any blood on screen, no swear words, somewhat poor voice acting with a few exceptions, and even the characters’ names were different. The only good qualities I see in Voltron was, of course, the name of the titular mech, and the kickass soundtrack of the 1980′s.

Later, as I look up different anime clips with English subtitles, I wondered if the characters speak English in the original version; and sure enough, there were clips that showed just that (it was awesome, funny, and bizarre; or even both or all three at the same time). What took me by surprise is that there was a Sonic X clip where Sonic occasionally throws in English in the original language. I didn’t even KNOW there was a Sonic The Hedgehog anime, and that threw me off in a good way. I started watching a few episodes with English subtitles, and then compared them to the English dubbed episodes; the original is the winner! And that was how I became a Sonic The Hedgehog fan, along with the Shadow The Hedgehog (2005) and the Sonic ‘06 games.

And then, interestingly, I discovered Pocket Monsters (the original Pokemon series) when I was browsing for more anime. I noticed how the main character, Ash Ketchum, had a different name, Satoshi, but they were the same character; they just happened to have different names in different languages. I was used to the name Ash, but I gradually started to like the name Satoshi even more, because it is the original show in its original language.

I have been a fan of Transformers ever since I watched the live action films by Michael Bay. It isn’t until The Transformers (1984-1987) and The Transformers: The Movie (1986) in which I started to like the Generation One (G1) Transformers because they originated in the 1980′s (which I really like, even though I wasn’t existent yet back in the day). I have many characters I like; my favorite Autobot is Ironhide, who was a black truck in the 2007 live action film, and a red van in the G1 version. Both of these incarnations share similar traits; Ironhide is just an awesome robot, he is trigger-happy (especially in the live action film), has a deep and gruff voice, is funny at times, is stubborn on a few things, and simply makes me smile; and in the live-action film’s case, my father owns a truck, and one of my favorite colors is black (just like KITT from the 1982 show, Knight Rider). I was disheartened by his death by the traitorous Sentinel Prime in Dark Of The Moon (2011), and at the hands of Megatron in the 1986 movie. And my favorite Decepticon is Starscream; who doesn’t love a backstabbing fighter jet anyways?

Now, I am sure you are probably asking, “what does this have to do with anime?” Well, I had the realization many months ago that Transformers Armada, Energon, and Cybertron (which all make up the Unicron Trilogy) were all anime series; so I looked each of them up in AnimeNewsNetwork, starting with Armada. (I wanted to check out the shows because I heard from many fans how this incarnation of Starscream subverts the traitorous role, and how he was the most likeable Decepticon in the whole series) The site shows the Japanese cast first, since it is the original language, and I was happy to see that Ironhide was there, as well. But, when I looked at the English cast, I couldn’t see the name anywhere. Interestingly, the Japanese credits called Optimus Prime Convoy, so maybe in Armada, this particular Autobot was not called Ironhide. And sure enough, when I started watching the show in English subtitles (the original is called Micron Legend), I was mostly right. What took me by surprise is that this Ironhide was not an old Autobot like many traditional Ironhides from the G1 and the Bayformers films, but a young Decepticon missile tank. Starscream is not the only Transformer to subvert the original roles of past incarnations. Apparently, this is the only Transformers continuation where Ironhide is a Decepticon. However, he shared many traits with his G1 counterpart as well; he is tough like how he should be, is funny (and surprisingly cute, not very many Ironhides is that lovable like this one), is stubborn some of the times, has a deep gruff voice, is trigger-happy (especially if you piss him off or cross Megatron in front of him), and instantly became a likable Transformer because of those traits; and he had probably the saddest death in the whole Unicron trilogy when I started watching Energon (originally called Superlink). I was disappointed when Megatron (now called Galvatron) put his abandoned spark into a new, and unattractive, body, and called him Irontread (didn’t stop me from watching the whole anime series because as I watched it futher, it shared many similarities with The Transformers: The Movie, particularly Unicron’s design, and the green helicopter we know as Springer (Japan calls him Sprung; not sure why...); the only thing missing in Superlink is “The Touch”). Next to Starscream, Ironhide is my favorite Transformer in the whole Unicron Trilogy. And what was his English dubbed name in Armada? Demolishor.

Ever since I watched these shows, I started to like them so much, maybe even more so than G1; probably because the Transformers had many human traits (for instance, they grunt and groan in pain more times than G1; oh and some of them actually cry, mainly younger Transformers like Ironhide in Micron Legend and Wing Dagger in Superlink), and was the first time I see them with teeth and different colored optics, instead of the traditional blue and red for the Autobots and Decepticons, respectively.

I notice many Trans-fans know many characters in the Unicron Trilogy by their English names because that was what they grew up with, or were used to seeing. And whenever someone points out the original names, they would interject, saying something like “its X, not Y!” (For example, “it’s Jetfire, not Skyfire!”) However, there are people like me who will point out what the original names are without trying to denigrate mainstream fans. Then again, I, too, get a little frustrated whenever a fan doesn’t call a character by their original name. But, if all else fails, I just let them call a character whatever they want to call them, because I cannot change their minds if they are absolutely certain of what the character’s name is, even if it is not their original name.

Then again, even the Japanese dub of the original Transformers shows and movies changed the names of certain characters because they believed it was cooler, easier to pronounce, or they didn’t like the name for some reason. For example, Optimus Prime was called Convoy, Sideswipe was called Lambor, Bumblebee was called Bumble, Devastator was called Devastor, Shockwave was called Lazerwave, Lazerbeak was called Condor, and Springer was called Sprung. (And Autobots and Decepticons were called Cybertrons and Destrons, respectively, and the planet Cybertron was called Seibertron.) In Micron Legend and Superlink, such names were the characters’ original names in the show.

Here are some characters in Micron Legend with their original and dubbed names (the rest not listed kept their names):

- Convoy = Optimus Prime

- Ratchet = Red Alert

- Hot Rod = Hot Shot

- Devastator = Scavenger

- Grap (possibly Grapple?) = Smokescreen/Hoist

- Ironhide = Demolishor

- Sandstorm = Cyclonus

- Silverbolt = Blurr (who is nothing like G1 Blurr at all)

- Doubleface = Sideways

- Wheelie = High Wire

- Bank = Grindor

- Arcee = Sureshock

- Bumble(bee) = Perceptor

- Shockwave = Tidal Wave

- Rampage = Wheeljack

- Stepper = Sideswipe

- Scourge = Nemesis Prime (Scourge’s name was not mentioned in Micron Legend, but that is what was confirmed in AnimeNewsNetwork and other anime sites)

- Megatron (Super Mode) = Galvatron

- Grid = Swindle

- Search = Blackout

- Barrel = Leader-1

- Prime = Sparkplug

- Alexa = Alexis

- Jim = Fred

- Amphitrite = not even given a name!

Here are the characters in Superlink, along with a few characters from Micron Legend (Armada):

- Grand Convoy = Optimus Prime

- Skyfire = Jetfire (I don’t know what happened to Jetfire and Hot Rod from Micron Legend; maybe they were reformatted without further explanation, replaced with newer characters, or the creators fixed Jetfire’s name to Skyfire and Hot Rod was so damaged that he had to be reformatted and was called Hot Shot, or according to some sites, matured into Hot Shot)

- Inferno V = Roadblock

- Roadbuster = Ironhide (who looked and acted nothing like the Ironhide I am so familiar with; is very unlikeable, compared to Roadbuster, who IS more likeable; and it is quite amusing to see two Ironhides fighting each other in Episode 10, with the one speaking English and the one speaking Japanese; there must be a crack fic about this somewhere...)

- Rodimus Convoy = Rodimus Prime (he was called Rodimus Convoy in the Japanese dub of G1)

- Red Alert = Prowl

- Airglide = Skyblast

- Blastarm = Strongarm

- Ariel = Arcee

- Springer = Bulkhead

- Overdrive = Cliffjumper

- Wheeljack = Downshift

- Galvatron (before recoloration) = Megatron (in Superlink, he explicitly said, “call me Galvatron-sama,” and he looked like his G1 counterpart as well)

- Nightscream = Starscream (since Starscream was killed by Unicron in Micron Legend after he used up all his energy from his spark, which is presumed destroyed. Yeah, sadly, Starscream never came back in Superlink; although Nightscream looks a lot like G1 Starscream even more than Armada Starscream)

- Mega-Zarak = Scorponok (G1 Scorponok’s Japanese dub name was Mega-Zarak; not sure why the creators called him that, though...)

- Sandstorm/Snowstorm = Cyclonus/Snow Cat

- Ironhide/Irontread = Demolishor/still Demolishor (what, no cooler name like Devastator, Basher, Groundcrusher or Destructor for his new body?)

- Shockwave/Shockfleet = Tidal Wave/Mirage

- Lazerwave = the real Shockwave (in Energon, he is called Shockblast, which I think is silly, so I will call him Lazerwave for Superlink’s sake)

- Buildron = Constructicon Maximus (note that Buildron is the Japanese dub name for Constructicon in G1)

- Bruticus = Bruticus Maximus

- Superion = Superion Maximus

- Superion’s brother = Dauntless Maximus (I will call him Dauntless)

- Alexa = Alexis

I have not seen Galaxy Force as often as Micron Legend and Superlink, but I will list a few characters that I can remember with the sub and dub names respectively:

- Galaxy Convoy = Optimus Prime

- Dreadrock = Jetfire

- Guardshell = Landmine

- Demolishor = Mudflap

- Sonic Bomber = Wing Saber

- First Aid = Red Alert

- Nitro Convoy (male) = Override (female)

- Exillion = Hot Shot

- Chromia = Thunderblast (yes, Chromia, usually an Autobot’s name, is a Decepticon in Galaxy Force)

- Noisemaze = Sideways

- Metroplex = Megalo Convoy (I don’t really know his name; that is what I got from some sources when I was trying to find out what this Transformer’s name was)

Anyways, since I saw the original versions, it can be really difficult for me to refer them to the English dubbed names so many fans can understand what I am saying. I am sure others feel the same way as well.

Well, that is all I will be saying so far. I will post more blogs, pictures, and memes when I have the time.
