The GF/Cybertron "Police Lineup"

[Lord Atmo]

i see one named "Blender". i kid you not. i can read Japanese Katakana. and that larger grey robot' name is Blender. the one between "megaloconvoy" and "fulldive"

Dude.. every character is on both lists. =P

 

Just greyed out.

He's just noting how some of the characters are in full colour in the lineup for the opposite faction, though.

Except for the characterst hat haven't been revealed (the giant planet guys, the Exellion upgrade) as of the date marked, they are colored. =P

 

BTW: I didn't link to the other pics that TFormers.com put up with this. Yes, Blender is a giant cement truck with an enormous ion cannon. =)

i made a translation error. "fulldive" is actually either "Moledive" or "moredive"

I think the reason there are less Decepticons than Autobots is obvious. Megatron destroys any Decepticon that fails him. (*and since they fail alot.....)

 

OK, but seriously, it's probably because while the Decepticons are war machines, the Autobots were not built for war. So the Autobots realistically need more men just to even the odds. Otherwise, the Autobots would have been slaughtered millions of years ago when the war started.

I wish that were true...but it seems good sells more than evil in japan...

 

Think about it, that is why we got Sharkticon and Slugslinger...

And why Buildron was relegated to an exclusive release, despite the fact that he was just as prominent as Bruticus.  And why Superlink Unicron was also a TRU exclusive, and USA edition to boot (either that, or they just reused the Micron Legend packaging, either way).

 

And outside of TFs, also the reason why Dearka switched sides in Gundam SEED.  While that particular element was blended into the show pretty well, it was a corporate decision that lead to that, not the writer's original intent.

Supream Starscream is also a TRU Exclusive in Japan.
