I hadn't realized that this page was still here ... I think we should seriously consider moving this page to "Riker." When researching this book, the native speakers (and foreign experts) I consulted brought up the whole difference in the traditional rendition of Riker into Katakana. The consensus was that Raikuru was chosen for both its association with the Science Fiction character (remember, this is the series that also brought us Ewoks) as well as I think recycling. My advice was to go with either Riker or Recycle, and Riker seemed more in keeping with his actual name. Raikuru just doesn't make much sense to non-native speakers, and unlike the Trainbots or the Dinoforce doesn't have any kind of ring to it. (Plus, of course, there is no official English version of those characters, where as there is for Riker.) --Jimsorenson 21:54, 29 June 2009 (EDT)
