Does anybot know what/who the slag/scrap is "metamizer"? Kiké Prime (talk) 04:37, 18 March 2022 (EDT)

- I know this one. It's a strange mistranslation in the subtitles for this episode, where Scorponok refers to "Metamizer" as if they were a character. Seems the iffy translation job mishead some of the Japanese dialogue, interpreting it phoentically as a nonsense character name. I don't know exactly what the correct translation of the line is, but he's apparently meant to be reaction to the whooshing sound of the UFO. - Chris McFeely (talk) 13:02, 18 March 2022 (EDT)
- In TV-Nihon's fansubs, the line is subbed as "Damn you! Planning to get in the way again?!" in Shout! Factory's DVD subs, it's "Scrap! Not you again?" Neither are really that good a translation, though (we really need someone like Karyuudo to give The Headmasters a fresh new subbing job).--Sabrblade (talk) 13:28, 18 March 2022 (EDT)

Thanks for all answers! Yes, a good quality sub is really needed, especially for my Hungarian translation at least in my perspective. I have the Metrodome version as far as the torrent uploader is concerned. My favorite misstranslation is Silverbolt to Twincast "Damn you, Twincast! Take that!".
