Having played some games with insane puzzles, e.g Myst. Games that are too easy flummox me. I'm always expecting the worst. So when I encounter a "puzzle" in a game, I am taking notes - only to discover that, multiple saves later, all I had to do was pull those 2 levers to open the door - not set the right combination, etc.
It's like those multiple choice questions, where I know the answer is B, but hang on, this is meant to be a test, right? - It's a trap!!!
and I wonder why I do so badly at tests...
Both Transformers and Voltron have origins in Japan.
Optimus Prime is known as Convoy in Japan. Ask yourself which you think is a better name. Personally, I think that, not only is Optimus Prime, a much better name, it is also one of the most memorable names of any cartoon series, period.
The debate about American vs Japanese voice actors is not relevant to highly mainstream 80s series, where presumably there was a lot more money and quality control. Just look at the fans reactions when they heard that Peter Cullen was going to voice Optimus Prime. Fans were ecstatic. I have had the misfortune to watch Transformers with Japanese dub and it was awful.
I haven't seen the recent Transformers film however, but from the looks of it, and the reviews that I trust, I will agree with you that it looks to be an awful film.
