How is this a pun!? --Blue Spider 20:02, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

In Japan, "auto" is pronounced "auto," but "trooper" is pronounce "toroopa." Cue the one great love of the Japanese people - jamming together two English words to produce a short-form equivalent - and you get "autoroopa," which unfortunately doesn't translate to English in any way that functionally preserves the word play. The title of the article is bascially the best that could be hoped for. - Chris McFeely 20:28, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Shouldn't this be at "Autorooper"? That's the name on the box, and it's not really as if "Autrooper" is objectively better. "Autrooper" doesn't complete the "auto" part, and "Autorooper" relies on a mispelling of "trooper", so I'd say they're about equal, if not the fact that Autorooper is the one on the box.

I think this one's going to be subjective. Personally, I think the "Autrooper" version makes the pun work vastly better in English, since the "-orooper" pretty much kills any possibility of intuitively making "trooper" out of the word. An incomplete "auto", on the other hand, is still pretty recognizable.

I do definitely recommend making Autorooper, Autolooper and Autrooper all redirect to the same entry, though, whatever is ultimately settled on.

I can PRONOUNCE Autolooper. -Derik 21:41, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

"AW-troo-per". Or "OH-troo-per" if you want to pronounce it more like the Japanese version.

Eh. I like "Autrooper" better for aesthetic reasons, but felt "Autorooper" had more official standing. Either one, I guess. As long as it isn't "Autolooper". That's simply awful. Interrobang 23:23, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Is there someine we can... ask? "Is this supposed to be Autotrooper?"-Derik 23:37, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Heh. Having fun there, Chris? --Swift 23:27, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Oh, just a smidge. :) On a completely random whim I just happened to read the summary of the whole "Legion in Atari's tummy" thing, and I think something broke in my brain. - Chris McFeely 23:42, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Interrobang, your edit is incorrect. See http://www.takaratomy.co.jp/products/TF/kiss/kiss02_atari.html

We've got another Savleback/Deathzaras/Minerba thing that'll just go on forever here, don't we? Me, I'm gonna refer to them as "Awe Troopers" just because I can. :P --Nemesis Primal 01:11, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Autotrooper divisions

Can we get a list of the Autotrooper devisions? I think they're based on the zodiac animals...? (I have no idea what those divisions would be though.) -Derik 13:08, 17 October 2006 (PDT)

You watched Digimon season 3 and you don't know the Chinese Zodiac? Rat (or mouse in this case), horse, snake, tiger, rooster, dragon, monkey, rabbit, dog... sheep, pig, ox. The Devas. --Monzo 20:42, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

But the Devas were just used to pad the storyline out, taking vital character development time away from Kazu and Kenta! -Derik 20:58, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

I uploaded an image from Autorooper's box that shows the different zodiac signs and what districts they're assigned to. All in Japanese, though. Evan1975 04:31, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
