At least it isn't Lartarartolarltorartlroar, Ratatata, Ratatouille? You know what I mean!

You mean Raatoraata. And that name was never intended for the Anglophone market, so it's a rather unfair comparison. I'm far less forgiving when Hasbro gives us dodgy names which are intended for Anglophone markets... like "Scattorbrain." (-_-)

was or still is, that phone message thing availible in Australlia?

I think Aquasting sounds much better than Injector. Hasbro's obsession with "or" for a couple of years there gave us some really stupid names (such as "Scattor"). I'm not really a fan of Aquasting, these "or" names just feel illiterate to me.

I know you've taken a few pictures, but the phone cameras kinda dull the colours a bit..
cheers :D

Basically the 'Transformers USA' Universe release in Japan is more accurate to both the original toy (general colour) and the cartoon (head deco). Tomy kept Hasbro's deco shout-outs to the American fan Monzo, though.

Last I checked, Scatterbrain was english slang. I believe it means somebody is confused/forgetful.

The-Guy-Who-Looks-Just- Like-Injector's name doesn't mean anything in Japanese.

Injector is actually how you spell the word, though.

Fair enough. I still think it's a poor name for Transformer :eek:
