Kre-O Manga

Figured I'd put some of my Japanese skills to good use I did a little translation of the Japanese Kre-O manga. I'll try and do the others soon. Enjoy!
(and remember to read right to left ) Originals are here: http://www.takaratomy-marketing.co.j...reo/comic.html

Episode 1: "Protect the Blocks! Autobots, roll out!"



Episode 2: "Bumblebee! The kind hearted Autobot warrior"



Episode 3: "The Dependable Soldier - Vortex, the Guard of Hell"



Episode 4: "Wheeljack's Ultimate Invention! Power-Up Optimus!?"
(*This one was a bit tricky to translate and get the point across as the main theme involved a Japanese pun/play on words for the humour - had to take some creative liberty with the name of the invention, but "Skeletron" actually is phonetically pretty close to what they used...but now I'm over-explaining :P Enjoy! Episode 5 soon...)

Re: Kre-O Manga

Took me a second to realize that you start at the right and read left for Japanese but other than that it's pretty cool! Thanks

Re: Kre-O Manga

Dear god. I thought the plots of the US Kre-O Commercials were bad!

In issue #4, is that a Kreon Thrustinator?

Well...it is meant to be sold to Japanese kids, and there's cultural stuff and humor that probably won't get across lol. It's pretty funny in Japanese

But yeah, I do believe that is a Thrustinator. Good idea for a repaint for one of my spare Kreon Waspinators...
