I'm pleased the bio is using an IDW adaption of Star Saber because a) I know nothing about the Japanese continuity and b) IDW is a really great approach to the character. But for those hating on the decision, you know you can always create your own backstory and play with the toy the way you see fit.
The latin approach seems like a classy way to do the motto. Even those most people can't read latin, (in the same way many Japanese can't read English) its smart and fancy looking.
I really hope though that they'll include the English booklet though, as there's been some concern we might not get the english translation for Ultra Magnus.
On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!
