Why isn't the title in English X-BoB58 22:14, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Because I felt like it. -hx 22:42, 1 May 2006 (UTC) (also, because if you want to get hell of nitpicky, the English name of the game is "Mystery of Comvoy", which is A: mispelled, and B: fucking stupid.)

Translation contradiction

On line 1 of the article, I see the translation of the japanese text as "Transformers: Mystery of Convoy" and when I look at the part on the right of the article with the cart info, I see the translation as "Transformer: Mystery of Convoy" without the "s" and it is translated from the same japanese text as in line 1. I corrected it by adding the "s" but that was basically reverted so now we have an article that contradicts itself. So which one is the right one, O Great Editor? --LokitheGrammarNazi 08:19, 20 September 2010 (EDT)

The katakana literally reads: to-ra-n-su-fo-ma, or "Transformer", which is how Takara has always referred to the franchise. When we translate it into English, we use the plural English word because it makes sense. - Chris McFeely 09:01, 20 September 2010 (EDT)
You really don't understand the difference between transliteration and translation, do you? —Interrobang 09:09, 20 September 2010 (EDT)
