The G1 Trainbots were originally going to have Western names, not Japanese ones. They would have been...

[* (JP name) (<meaning>) = (PROTOTYPE WESTERN NAME)]

* Getsuei <Moonshadow> = NIGHT
* Kaen <Blaze> = POWER
* Seizan <Blue Mountains> = PLANE
* Shouki <Shouki> = MACH
* Suiken <Hydrosphere> = STORM
* Yukikaze <Snow-Wind> = SNOW
* Raiden <Raiden> = GRAND LINER
