You know how it works. :)
This poll only includes toys that are either original moulds or retools. So no repaints. This is due to poll limit size and also because I just want to make the one poll-thread for Japanese BW Maximals (the next one will be for Predacons). I've also included Moon... although he's not marketed as being either a Maximal nor Predacon, he's always been portrayed as an ally of the Maximals, so... yeah. If Junkions count as Autobots and Sharkticons count as Decepticons, then Moon can count as a Maximal. ;) Also, totally not going to make a one-robot poll for Moon. :p
Note on spelling
Where possible I'm using the same spelling as TFwiki unless I deem the TFwiki spelling to be inaccurate (don't even start me about all the mistakes on the wiki... :rolleyes:). But IIRC the wiki's spelling has since become official in Anglophone continuity thanks to IDW, but I'm going with authorial intent. In this poll there are two differences:
1. Colada. TFwiki spells it as "Cohrada," but I disagree with this for two reasons...
a. In Japanese Katakana, the name is written as コラーダ (koraada). The long vowel is on the second syllable, not the first. So "Corahda" would be more accurate than "Cohrada."
b. The Japanese word for Piņa Colada is ピニャ・コラーダ (https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%94%E3%83%8B%E3%83%A3%E3%83%BB%E3%82%B3%E3%8 3%A9%E3%83%BC%E3%83%80) (pinya koraada). Given the Latino/cowboy theme of this character, I'd say that "Koraada" is meant to be "Colada," hence I am using that spelling.
2. Heinlad (as opposed to tfwiki's spelling of "Heinrad"). This is how I've always spelt it. Note that 'l' and 'r' are indistinguishable in Japanese phonology, so really it can be either "lad" or "rad". Given the nature of the character, 'lad' makes more sense to me.
