What'd be a good name for G1 versions of the trainbots?

Chaos Wolf · 05-18-2012, 03:59 PM

I was pondering what a G1 version of Raiden and his components would have been called in the G1 Cartoon. I'm figuring Raiden would be called Rail Racer, if only for the reverse Homage to Rail Racer RiD. But that still leaves the Trainbots proper to be named. Road Spike, Rapid Run and Midnight Express would be probable, But then the question still remains, who gets what, and what of the other three.

Shōki- Devil-Queller
Getsuei- Moonshadow (That might work)
Kaen-Blaze
Seizan- Blue Mountain
Suiken- Plains or Wasteland
Yukikaze- Snowy Breeze

Are there translations for the other names?

Actually wasn't meant as a translation there for Shoki. I simply guessed Rapid Run as he's been the leader to "Rail Racer" in all other cases, and Shoki's gimmick is super speed, so...

Anyway, you make a great point, I'm going to get the translations of the names posted there to the side.

It's actually come up before, with some good suggestions.
