King Grimlock thanks to Tober.

I can't believe that such a great box was ruined by such bad Engrish.

"ME, GRIMLOCK... HUMANS ARE PEST !!" <cringe>.

(I still look forward to getting mine in three weeks.)

[Jetfire]

But that is the way he talks, it makes more sense than "I am Grimlock. Humans are a pest"

It's not Engrish

It is totally Engrish. This is Budiansky Grimlock. There should be no comma anywhere between "me" and "Grimlock", they've put spaces before any sets of exclamation marks on the entire box and comics Grimlock has never said anything like "Humans are pest !!" Even at his least eloquent he eliminated verbs or pronouns or changed the case of subjective pronouns to objective ones, he didn't change plurals to singular. It's written by someone who can't properly write in English in the first place, let alone successfully imitate a dialect.

EDIT: and come to think of it, I doubt he would be meaning "Humans are a pest" anyway, he'd mean "Humans are pests." Which in Budiansky Grimlockese circa Marvel US #30-50 would be something along the lines of "Me Grimlock. Humans pests."

Ok well I didn't consider the punctuation but you've made a good (exclamation) point or two there. Can't say it would bother me though.. I guess the box would look better without the dialog box.

EDIT: yeah your probably right, "Humans are pests" sounds like something Grimlock would say

Encore Cassette Tapes Vol. 3 from valkyrie_76 and Henkei Red Alert from Tetsuwan_Convoy. Thanks again guys.

Meh, as far as Engrish is concerned the text on Grimlock's box is pretty good. At least you can read it without being either completely confounded or rolling around laughing at something inappropriate.

My meagre Nexus haul (minus City Commander itself, the G3 trailer in the background and my invisible bullion). Golly it sucks being a seller. Well the money is nice.
