Panther50 posted:I saw a new version of Soundwave on what I think is the latest series. Instead of his cool voice like in the original. He Kept talking like some radio DJ it was enough to make you shudder.
Trell posted:To whoever said it, I agree that the recent string of reimagined Transformers shows are TERRIBLE. But I can't wait to see the Headmasters, Masterforce, and Victory DVDs. After Transformers was cancelled in America, the characters continued on for three more shows of 50 episodes in Japan using the original cast (of characters), with original personalities. I think the writers are different, so it should be interesting. I hope they get the people who did the original show to dub it. At least as many as are still alive. And of course, they use the American names rather than the Japanese ones. Convoy doesn't carry the same heft as Optimus Prime. I don't know anything at all about the Japanese non CGI Beast Wars sequels though. Odd even hearing that mentioned for some reason. I think the word "bad" came up. -P!-
SilSolo posted:For all of you who don't like dubs, this Chinese kid did an experiment on Beast Wars and will show you how hard it is to translate: These are translated into Chinese and then back into English. Blackarachnia-Black Spider (may be subject to change if I ever get my hands on Chinese translations of Greek myths) Airrazor-Flying Knife (kept teh syllable count yay!) Dinobot-Dinobot (kept the syllable count again!) Rhinox-Rhinoceros, which ends with the character for Ox (and once again, still at 2 syllables) Optimus Primal-Optimus Big Monkey (still managed to keep the syllable count, but with help from G1 for half of it) Megatron-Megatron (I didn't need to do that one) Silverbolt-Silverbolt (I didn't do this either) Inferno-Wildfire Grape face-Grape face Big Banana-Big banana And for the rest of the names, I either don't know enough biology (cheetahs and scorpions don't exist anywhere near China) or can't find anything that sounds remotely fitting.
