	Regarding the literal romanization: Why is there an emphasis on the "o" from "Go"? Even the original Japanese spelling uses Latin letters for the word.--[[User:Nevermore\|Nevermore]] ([[User talk:Nevermore\|talk]]) 05:45, 7 April 2014 (EDT)		Regarding the literal romanization: Why is there an emphasis on the "o" from "Go"?

	:I assume you're referring to the line over the "o"? It's because the wiki (for reasons that are, as far as I know, entirely arbitrary - I personally have my issues with it) uses modified [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepburn_romanization Hepburn Romanization] for its transcription of Japanese. The Japanese spelling for the word (the characters just above the "Go!" in the logo) is actually two kana - "go" and "u", meaning that the "o" is long in Japanese. It's hard to explain what that means as far as practical pronunciation goes (many non-native speakers can't tell the difference between a long "o" and a short "o", and it seems like a pretty arbitrary choice made by Takara-Tomy), but since Hepburn Romanization is focused (sort of) on representing the pronunciation of the kana, it's represented here with a line indicating that the vowel is long.--[[User:BraveMax\|BraveMax]] ([[User talk:BraveMax\|talk]]) 01:25, 8 April 2014 (EDT)		:I assume you're referring to the line over the "o"?

			== Hasbro ==
			I have a vague recollection of Hasbro being asked directly (BotCon?) about importing and dubbing the TFGO anime and/or franchise as a whole and stating equally directly that it was not happening. 1. Is this accurate (am I remembering correctly)? 2. Is this noteworthy enough to mention on the GO page(s)? 3. Anyone have a source? The genericness of the word "go" doesn't help with searching.

			:: The kanji "御" is read "go", NOT "gou". Since we've seen the katakana here and know that the prefix is "gou", that kanji CANNOT be correct. On another point, though, since we haven't seen any kanji for the name, assuming that the prefix means "剛" is sort of like assuming that "Bakudora" is actually spelled "爆動来". Yes, it's possible for that kanji to make that sound, but we have no idea what the intent is, or even if it's supposed to be assigned a meaning at all.

The title is literally "Third Power Combination". And the gimmick of the exclusive toys is that they can form any one of three parts in a larger robot (so 3³ different combinations in a team, including repeat characters).

	::It's just, the "Combination" part coming first makes it sounds like "Gattai" is the first word instead of the second. And "cubed" has connotations of the squarish variety that may confuse folks at first glance. Granted, "Third Power Combination" isn't much better either, but I think it might be the safer one. --[[User:Sabrblade\|Sabrblade]] 01:33, 27 April 2013 (EDT)		::It's just, the "Combination" part coming first makes it sounds like "Gattai" is the first word instead of the second.

			:::::Very well. If there are those who are actually willing to discuss its placement, let us discuss it. I've given my case as it's consistent with our parsing of the full titles of ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory (franchise)\|Victory]]'', ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (manga)\|Zone]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s manga, ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: The Battlestars (manga)\|Return of Convoy/The Battlestars]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s manga, ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Operation Combination (franchise)\|Operation Combination]]'', ''[[Super Lifeform Transformers: Beast Wars Neo (franchise)\|Beast Wars Neo]]'', ''[[Super Lifeform Transformers: Beast Wars Metals (franchise)\|Beast Wars Metals]]'', ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (franchise)#Beast Wars Returns\|Beast Wars Returns]]'', and [[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)#Japanese release\|Japanese ''Prime'']], based on all of these series having logos set up in a format similar to that of this series's logo, with the "Sanjou Gattai" part being like the "(Takakae!) Chou Robot Seimeitai" part of the others.
			:::::If the general consensus disagrees, then I will concede to follow with the final decision. But if this really is up for discussion, then please let there be one. --[[User:Sabrblade\|Sabrblade]] 16:23, 14 July 2013 (EDT)

	:::That was the episode title spoken aloud, not the series title. Not once was the series title spoken aloud in the episode. The break spoken in the episode title came from its exclamation point. My placement of the colon was to make this series title consistent with how we handle colons the titles of Japanese series, as I stated again and again nearer to the top of this page. If so many here simply don't care about its placement, then why not let it be handled by those who do care? --[[User:Sabrblade\|Sabrblade]] 10:44, 13 July 2013 (EDT)		:::That was the episode title spoken aloud, not the series title.
