Poll?
It's Autobotese. But yes, I agree. That's how I feel about the text on Stakeout's doors, and that really looks more like a current day Earth car. Just put them in English. Or Japanese. Or Armenian. Some Earth language. Also, Barricade's writing is in Autobotese even though he's sporting a huge honking Decepticon insignia on his bonnet.I'd personally rather see Decepticonese writing on the doors and let him be a Decepticon Enforcer, but if he's meant to be disguised as an Autobot police officer then what's with having such a prominent Decepticon logo? Make the logo only visible in robot mode or make it really small and hard to notice on the vehicle mode (as with Bayformers Barricade).
I'm finding it amusing that in 2009 we were told that Hasbro couldn't make Animated Constructicon toys because they didn't want those toys to cross-compete with the ROTF Constructicons. Yet 10 years later we now have, within a single year, multiple police car Transformers; Siege Stakeout, Cyberverse Prowl (multiple classes), Siege Prowl and Siege Barricade (which could've been a G1 accurate race car, but no, let's make it a G1 inaccurate police car). Yeah, we can't have Animated Constructicons alongside ROTF Constructicons, but would you like some police cars to go with your police cars?![]()
