New Legends Manga Translation Vol 08 - The Secret of Delta Magnus Part 1

Volume 08 Of the New Legends Manga is here, and I have translated it for your viewing pleasure.  This on has a nice look at Delta Magnus, a newish character, who is a rather nice recolour, or pre-colour of Ultra Magnus.  I will admit, that personally I quite like this colouring and am pretty pleased he has made his way into his own character.  The Missing Link version that came out earlier in the year is a very nice example of how good this guy looks, and the inclusion of Powerdrive was also pretty nice.  

Powerdrive is in this manga as well, shedding a bit more light on the power of Delta Magnus!

Also added into this set is the headmaster Agent Arcee.  Who seems to stem from the Masterpiece agent Arcee and not the missing link prototype of Arcee.

This is part one, and I was going to wait for part 2 before publishing, but since it ends on a rather sexy cliff-hanger, I think the timing works well like this.

Anyhoo, that's enough preamble.  Read on for the manga and have a look for my random notes and ramblings afterwards.

New Legends Manga Translation Vol 07 Cosmos & Soundwave

Here we are with Issue/Vol/Chapter 7 of the New Legends Manga.  This one was released for Cosmos and Soundwave.    Read it left to right, share and enjoy (and say thanks ;)

Notes at the end.

New Emperor Of Destruction : Galvatron, New Legends Vol 6 Manga Translation

 

Here we are with my wonderful translation of the New Legends Manga Vol 6 For NL Galvatron.  This one kind of got me excited for Liege Maximo of all things, as it portrays him as a more organic-y, slimy sort of Transformer, by emphasising the tubes in his design.

This episode is all about feelings.  If you want to play a drinking game, have a shot every time a character gets tearful eyes: hint, Gigastorm has them in the very first panel.

Enjoy.  Read it left to right. 

Beast Machines NightSlash Cheetor review

 

I am going to go out on a limb here and assuming that this figure isn't about needing to go for a wee at night time.  

Ah Beast Machines, you were an odd beast(machine).  I quite enjoyed the TV show and the Cult like Optimus Primal, although it bothered me that the toys rarely looked like the dudes on TV.  Rhinox / Tankor was quite rememberable and Megatron and the whole Noble/Savage things was pretty cool as well as I remember.  Originally I picked up the Blue Oprimus Primal as my one and only BM figure, as it was, well, Optimus Primal.  Eventually I expanded out and got a few more, but I left Cheetor alone.  Mainly because the most common Cheetor around was the Supreme ( ?) class Cheetor that was obscenely huge and shelf warmed for decades.  Ah the youtube of olden days.

Anyway, moving on, I did end up picking up Nightslash Cheetor because I thought he had a cool design.  And here is my review of the toy.

The Ambition of Liege Maximo : Legends Manga Vol 5 Translation Complete.

 

Woot, here I am with another.   Oddly while this one focuses on Gigastorm, the title is all about Liege Maximo.  As usual read from left to right with this one.

Oh, if you wish to mirror these on another site (that may, or may not generate income through ads), a link to my humble blog page would be much appreciated instead of stealing all the clicks.  I believe is standard webtiquette.

Thanks

New Legends Manga Translation Vol 4 - Nemesis Star Convoy - Complete!

 

The Evil God's Star.

Oh baby.  I was most excited about this for a couple of reasons.  The first being, I love Star Convoy and the Nemesis Colouration looks fantastic.  Did they miss an opportunity by calling him "Black Star Convoy"?  The jury is out.  The second was, er... I can't remember now, but it probably has something to do with getting Galaxy Force more love.

Oddly it took me a while to work out what the title meant.  Like obviously Evil God can only be Unicron, but the star thing took me a while.  While the title used the kanji for star, which can be translated into Star, planet, world for example, my sudden epiphany was that the "Star" that belongs to the evil god is AKCHUALLY Star Convoy.  That makes perfect logical sense.

ON TOP OF THAT, I initially thought that Nemesis Star Convoy was an evolved form of Nemesis Convoy. However this is not that case.

There are also a while bunch of clever use things going on, like Nemesis Convoy's trailer spawning billions of Scourge (Nemesis Prime) clones and all sorts of other clever stuff.

New Legends Manga translation VOl 3 -G2 Stunticons complete!

 

FINALLY!

I finished this mammoth task.  Wow, this was a big one for a couple of reasons. 24 pages are a lot of pages.  Editing the effects was a difficult task.

However I feel I did learn a lot on this and I really enjoyed doing it.  This volume is a lot of fun and the Stunticons are very cute in this.  It is essentially a story of bonds being broken and then ...

REUNITED (will make sense as you read it).

*I took down the old post as I went back and fixed up earlier pages term and story consistency.
