...from official sources? That would have to be a cock up. "Rod" and "Road" are written quite differently in Japanese so I really don't know how someone could screw that up.
Rod is written as ロッド (roddo) whereas Road is ロード (roodo). "Road" can be interpreted as "Load" due to afore discussed discrepancies between Japanese /ɾ/ and English /r/ and /l/ (e.g.: so "Road Hauler" can also be "Load Hauler"). Furthermore, Japanese phonology doesn't discriminate between "-oad" (/oud/) and "-ord" (/o;d/) so ロード (roodo) can be interpreted as either "road," "load" or "lord." Thus both Overlord and Overload are 'spelt' the same in Japanese (オーバーロード)
...but I can't see how someone could interpret ロッド (roddo) as "road"... but Japanese TF names are often badly Romanised. 10 years ago a lot of online dealers were spelling "Stampy" as "Stumpy."
Thanks. Maybe it all stems from a Robot Kingdom typo.
is there a henkie leo prime?

Scorponok transforms into a city. Lord Zarak transforms into a roughly human-sized humanoid. Hence the size discrepancy.Quote:

Scorponok also comes with a "helmet" for Zarak to fit inside, adding the extra "bulk" to his head.....
This can come off, so some people see an incomplete Scorpy and go "what the"????
