Black Convoy's BT Story Translated

A few notes here:

 

1) The Concussion Blaster was the weapon of choice for both G1 Soundwave and G1 Razorclaw.

 

2) "Hiyokko" was a popular line Ultra Magnus said in the Japanese dub of "The Return of Optimus Prime", as hew as chasing down Rodimus Prime, thus confirming fans' suspicion about Magnus' true feelings about the Matrix being given to Hot Rod. The translation with "kid" reflects the corresponding dialogue in the original English version of the episode.

 

3) There's a deliberate distinction between "Black Optimus" (literally "black colored Convoy") and "Black Convoy" as a named character at the very end.

 

4) The literal translation for Jazz's sentence was "They (the Decepticons) seem to be in a state of confusion now, but I expect they'll soon be ready for the offensive." I took some liberties by rewording the sentence into something Scatman Crothers would say.

That's a little silly to say, isn't it? One doesn't have to be a fan of the toys to be a TF fan (and Xbob is a fan of the toys, anyway). I'm sure there are hundreds of kids who are fans of the television shows that don't actually own the toys. Are they not fans?

 

You need to check what comes out of your head sometimes, Hornet.

Transformers are a toyline first, most fiction serves little other purpose than to act as advertising. If we get decent fiction out of the deal then all the better. And no, X-Bob isn't a fan of the toys as he will outright pass on buying a cool toy if it doesn't have a bio and backstory.

Allthough rare, I do make exceptions, I bought Energon Tow-Line and Sharkticon.

Name one cool Transformers toy that doesn't have a bio or backstory.

Alternators Rumble and Ravage(v2.0). Hell, a lot of the Alternators don't have stories.

I'm a fan of alot of shows/comics/movies ect and dont buy the toys. Right now, I can't wait to see the TMNT, Spidey 3, F4-2 ect.

 

If he's not really a fan, he's one crazy puppy for posting here every day.

 

At first, I thought your comment was directed at Nevermore. Him, I've never read anything he post that has a real feeling or opinion about Transformers. Just the facts.

sounds cool and its open ended so i suppose post movie they could pick it up again

I thought they'd leave the warp holes open to introduce bots from other continuities like Sideburn and Hotshot.
