>>6040694Kind of disappointing Optimus didn't get his own UW chapter, even if he did get released before Grand Galvatron.
This is from the dudes that translated this part:
-English names and dub attack callouts used again.
-Grand Scourge’s combined mode is named “Scourge Grand Prime” in the original Japanese, to match “Convoy Grand Prime”, I’ve used “Grand Scourge Maximus” to retain symmetry with “Optimus Maximus”.
-Galvatron II’s early adventures in the Japanese G1 universe, before travelling back in time, were in the post-G2 era, where he fought e-HOBBY Laser Ultra Magnus. His adventures in the ’80s are from the TV Magazine story pages.
-When Galvatron II discusses Trypticon, in the original Japanese he says he commanded “Dino-saurer [Dainozaurā], the earliest version of Dinosaurer [Dainazaurā]”. Sakamoto is being a massive nerd: the former version of the name was used in the Scramble City OVA, where Trypticon also had a different character model, so the idea is that Trypticon was renamed when he was rebuilt in Five Faces of Darkness.
-The “heart” at the end is the Zodiac, which would indeed eventually revive Optimus as Star Convoy.
