    Default JP Combiner Wars coming soon.

    TFYuki's twitter account tweeted out a teaser for the Takara Tomy version of Combiner Wars. He says there will be more info by the end of January in Dengeki Magazine.

    Hoping their Slingshot (or whatever jet it is) looks good enough with the rest of the Hasbro jets.

    Reading the Japanese comments, one user is speculating that the JP Aerialbots will be called 'Aerialbots' instead of 'Airbots,' as per TakaraTOMY's recent trend to use G1 Anglophone names over G1 Japanese names (e.g. Convoy-->Optimus Prime, Skyfire-->Jetfire etc.). I guess that other gestaltnames will be similarly changed, i.e.:
    Stuntrons-->Stunticons
    Combatrons-->Combaticons
    Guardian-->Defensor
    Glaze-->Blades
    Air Rider-->Air Raid
    Fast Aid --> First Aid </cheek>
    Sling-->Sling Shot (although I wouldn't be surprised if they used the name 'Alpha Bravo')

    Although one thing is... Superion has always been called Superion in Japan, but the pronunciation is different in Japanese (more like "Spare-ee-on"). So while TakaraTOMY may maintain the same 'spelling' of Superion in Japanese, Japanese fans will most likely still pronounce it the Japanese way instead of saying "Soo-peer-ee-on".
