Talk:Autobot Master Warrior

I've seen both "Teen" and "Warrior" as well, and the latter term gets you more Google hits, but "Teen" was the term used on TFpulp, and Hydra being the J-TF expert that he is, I figured that was the safer bet. - Chris McFeely 23:58, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

In all honesty, the last part of that only leaves me MORE inclined to go with "warrior". The foul taste of "Thrustol" still lingers. --M Sipher 00:08, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, it's not like "teen" and "warrior" are the same word in Japanese, are they? Seriously, I don't know. But I wouldn't have thought so. Perhaps both are used, or something. "Teen" seems a better fit, just for the characters themselves, though, being young in-trainers. "Warriors" is so... non-specific. - Chris McFeely 00:17, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

• I broke out my copy of Generations to look it up. They're called the "Headmaster Senshi". "Senshi" means "warrior" and most certainly not "Teeanger". "Teeanger" in Japanese is "tii-ne-i-jyaa", while "teeange" as an adjective is "juudai no". I dunno where Hydra came up with "Headmaster Teens" but I know from experience that a lot of his reviews and viewpoints on TFPulp were assumption and speculation and not concrete fact (like him saying that Galvatron BWII was elected by the Tripredacus Council with nothing but theory to back it up).

Going by the name given to them in Generations, I'd say that "Headmaster Warriors" is the most accurate, even if it totally sucks. --DrSpengler 00:33, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Sucks less than "Headmaster Teens". And quite a lot of other JTF names. Like basically all of the Headmaster Warriors' names. --M Sipher 00:37, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, that sorts that out, then! Off I go! - Chris McFeely 00:41, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

• Holy shit, I think I just broke a record for mispelling "teenager" the most times in a single sitting. --DrSpengler 00:43, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

I believe that the Headmaster Warriors must have been called the "Headmaster Teens" SOMEWHERE, because there's concept art in Generations for an unmade set of non-partnered Targetmaster weapons (similar in concept to the HM Warriors), and the text box jokes that, if they had been produced, they could have been called the "Targetmaster Teens". Which made no freakin' SENSE to me, in-context, until Hydra pointed out the Headmaster Teens thing.

Here is a column about them from the G1 character encyclopedia book. I welcome people to take a crack at it. --Monzo 01:19, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

• Well, the title of the article is "Headmaster Teens". Maybe that's what they were called in the episode-itself while the toys were called "Headmaster Warriors"? Man, McFeely is gonna be pissed if he has to go back and change everything again. --DrSpengler 02:02, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

I don't believe they were referred to by name in the episode itself... although, I do only have the R2 DVD translation to go by, and it's entirely possible they could have translated that wrong. I DO remember a few references to "the youth of planet Master," I wonder could that have been a corrupted reference to the Teens? But obviously, in this case, Hydra wasn't wrong. Ach, I'll just add note to the main article for now... - Chris McFeely 12:18, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
