There's even another Transformers character based on the crab constellation who's so obscure that using his name as a friendly Trademark for Masterforce Cancer would have sufficed: "Cancix". Even sounds more "Transformers-y" than just the word "Cancer" unaltered.

TR Sawback is Lione from The Headmasters, and he released before Shuffler.

Oh, but Wipe-Out did get a new toy. He's the Titan Master of Full-Tilt included with Titan class Trypticon, albeit renamed as "Necro". 😛

Certainly! Throughout all three DVD sets, instances of various exclamations and interjections were all streamlined to default to such phrases as "Scrap!" and "By the AllSpark!" This was done arbitrarily as though someone just did a quick "Find and replace" for certain words that had originally...

As I said before, it wasn't just names that were changed. Entire lines of dialogue were rewritten to say things that weren't at all accurate to what was being spoken verbally by the characters. Oftentimes, this was done to add in references to Aligned and/or IDW1 lore, or even TFTM quotes, all...

There was that Generations Black Shadow that was a Hasbro-original retool of Generations Thunderwing. But I feel like there might have been something even earlier than that (and I'm not counting the Fun Pub figures, either). Maybe the two Universe Leo Prime figures that were a both...

I know the place. It's near where my dad lives.

I've sat through all three shows from start to finish. The Headmasters was definitely a dull slog but did have its moments however few and far between, and I likewise still prefer it over The Rebirth (not just because it's a full series compared to a three-parter, but so many things rubbed me...

Yeah, this was the greater point I was trying to make. They are hit or miss, but when they hit they really hit out of the park. Which GameStop is that? That sounds like something I might want to get a look at in person.

Nowadays, it's become GameStop who gets all the good stuff as far as finding mass retail figures at brick-and-mortar stores go.

And after a game of telephone, word suddenly spreads that Windcharger's new toy will have a shopping cart altmode. :p

The thing is, the majority of these responses came from people who, in other posts, were thrilled that these DVD sets we're being released in the US. If they were that excited, they had to have had some care about those shows.

I remember back when the Shout DVD sets for the three JG1 series came out and it was discovered that nearly all the names and terms had been westernized and random lines of dialogue had been rewritten to throw in totally-out-of-place references to Aligned and IDW1. At that time, I expressed my...

The Omni dub went as far as just flat out calling Ginrai, human and all, "Optimus Prime".

Reminder that the official American Masterforce DVD set released by Shout used the Hasbro names for almost every single one of those characters, even calling Cancer "Squeezeplay", in the subtitles.

Well, gee, I sure couldn't think of any reason why Hasbro would decide to not name their children's toy "Cancer". 😜 Kidding aside, they also made it a point to sculpt the little headmaster based on Cancer's Masterforce cartoon model, and have said in either the toy's reveal video or it's...

Yo dawg!

Heh, I remember when that Arcee first came out and a bunch of nitpickers were mad that she wasn't her own new mold with the same Barbie doll proportions as her cartoon model. "She's not feminine enough! She's too butch to be Arcee!" Bunch of ungrateful whiners. 🙄

If they can feel pain, then they can feel hurt when part of their body is ripped apart from its sockets. :p
