Based on the arrangement of the Japanese, I think the code is supposed to be writing out the years 1984 (juukyuu + hachijuushi) and 2014 (nijuu + juuyon), the latter of which would mark the 30th anniversary of the Transformers brand. Does this seem likely? EHeroFlareNeos 11:27, 14 April 2013 (EDT)

That sounds correct. Basically, they're pronouncing it as the Japanese equivalent of "Nineteen Eighty-four" rather than "One thousand, nine hundred eighty-four". It's kind of weird that they split up the 19 and 14, and put the x10 with the four instead of eight, though. Still, the intent is clear.KrytenKoro 13:44, 17 April 2013 (EDT)
