Hmm? All I can see is his title, which is "Star Emperor" (or "Emperor of the Stars").

I'm still mad Takara stole my interpretation of Deluxe Unicron as a space ship.

Well that's what Google's translate led me to believe, but it's probably their not so accurate translation.

Glad they altered Ravage and Steeljaw's Twincast character art for Nightstalker and Stripes.

So... the Autobots discover that their volcano base actually wants to eat everything, so they decide to use Axalon against it? This is still confusing...

Why did they decide to make an actual Enemy toy, anyway? Not that it's a bad thing, but, kinda strange.

Seems that his shoulder vents or whatever they're called are now simply red with no paint detailing inside. I guess that's for cartoon-accuracy.

Enemy started his life as one of the various colors given to the original Microman toy. Then we had the two radios that for some reason were based off of that color scheme rather than the Transformers color schemes.

So given that and the extreme obscurity of characters like Stripes and Nightstalker, it's far less strange.
