And what is that supposed to mean? This isn't any different from G1 from Headmasters onwards.

So is the animation in lieu of Cybertron, or is it just regular old anime? With two differing images, it's making my noggin hurt.

You didn't get the point, did you?
The TF Prime show in Japan was a horrible versions of one of my top TF shows. I don't have anything against anime, in fact most of the shows I watch are anime, but I hate the cheesy meant for toys anime.
When a company jacks up a perfect show and/or line, I get ticked. I hope this show is at least fair.

There's more than three combined forms?! Are these three compatible with the beastly ninja team as well?
The Kenzan/Jinbu/Ganou combo looks awful. It's just a tower with arms and legs.

I'm guessing not, all three forms have a set order. That won't stop Japanese bloggers from trying stuff out tho

Luckily, this is Japan and you can feel free to ignore the non-cannon shenanigans.

Gekisōmaru looks pretty cool too.
Well, what did you expect? Transformers is for kiddies in Japan. Of course they're gonna make it for a younger audience than in the West. No Transformers cartoon has ever aired in Japan without having very young children in mind. Not even the Japanese-made ones.Superwheeljack wrote:You didn't get the point, did you?

Doesn't help that this is a toyetic series, so there's that to consider as well.
Western mindset: "Transformers are for big kids"
Eastern mindset: "Transformers are for little kids"
And it's not just Transformers. "Living robots" in general is a concept viewed as being for youngsters over there, while "piloted robots" are what's big with the older audiences in Japan.

That's the worst, and most stupid thing they've done.

I guarantee you that Japan has done far worse than making Airrazor a dude.

And... *gulp* ... Kiss Players.
And Takara, when questioned about Airazor's gender and her/his moves on Tigertron, they said "some people are like that."

Not that I approve of their gender-bending Airazor, but one could interpret your post as being a little homophobic.Manterax Prime wrote:And yet Japan still has no excuse for making Airazor a GUY!

And, Hasbro's just as guilty with gender-bending characters. They turned Nitro Convoy into a girl. Or is there some double standard where girlfying is okay?

Japan's thinking exactly the same when we changed their male Nitro Convoy to our female Override in Cybertron.

BW Airazor got the reverse treatment (though only in the cartoon, the Metals manga kept her as a girl, albeit a very stereotypical one), thanks to Japan not liking the "strong tough-as-nails girl" archetype. They prefer them magical instead with the skimpy outfits
