City Commander - first review

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

his face seems to resemble a fembot, looking very gentle...

Heh heh, just remember that when he is pointing his Big-ass gun at one of your favourite decepticons!!

Just curious, why is it known as "TF-Parallax" ?

The kit looks really cool, the comic itself is also amazing!

Did I read that last sentence of the comic right though? Because it doesn't seem to make sense...

I suppose if the gun runs out of ammo/power, Magnus can just bash the Decepticons with it since it's so huge. LOL.

They used "Justice" in dialogue? Really?

(FFN is asian, so he can say this)

Those Asians and their bizarre interpretation of what is essentially an American franchise

I think they probably wrote the story in Chinese and then translated it. They probably translated 正義 into 'justice', where it should more rightly translated into 'righteousness' or 'up-rightness'.

I find it hilarious when Captain Tousen says 'my justice this', 'my justice that' in the subtitles for the Bleach anime. But if I substituted 正義 into the original script, it would make perfect sense.

'Justice' in Chinese is 公義. But if they wrote the comic script with that originally, it would make no sense at all.

Righteousness in the context suggested here still sounds really silly for Transformers to say, in any language.

[Sam]

My confusion arises because as far as I can make out in the comic, Magnus seems to be saying "This is what your justice has brought upon you!"

Is he talking to the enemy or an ally? If he talking to enemy, why would he saying talk about the enemy's "justice" (shouldn't it be "injustice"?) ?

In Japanese 正義 or 公正 can mean "justice" or "righteous" although 公正 carries the connotation of "fairness" (e.g.: 公正取引 (fair trade)). Being "righteous" or "just" are kinda the same thing. Heroic Autobots are called 「正義のサイバトロン」 (Righteous Cybertrons) and G2 Hero Prime's Japanese box has the words "Prime of Justice" written on it in English (with "justice" presumably being a translation of "正義").

From dictionary.com:
justice
noun the quality of being just; righteousness, equitableness, or moral rightness
righteousness
noun the quality or state of being just or rightful
