Megatron X: Additional Info in Japanese

A few years back, I came upon this pic on the internet. Unfortunately I do not read Japanese, but it may shed some information on Megatron X. For info only.

Caption on the right is basically his glittering body's made from crystallized energon, he's also got tremendous battle capabilities.

Is that his "Beagle mode"?! --Lonegamer78 15:15, 21 January 2010 (EST)

I want to say that "biiguru" Mode there is some sort of pun on "vehicle" Mode ("vehicle being rendered "biikuru" in Japanese), but I can't figure out what they're going for with the "gu" in there in place of the "ku". --DrSpengler 16:06, 21 January 2010 (EST)

I imagine it's just a typo. Unless we really want to put "vehigle" into the article. —Interrobang 16:38, 21 January 2010 (EST)

I did a quick Google image search for "biiguru modo", and 90% of the results relate to Transformers or other transforming toys. Most likely, it's just an accepted alternate spelling for "vehicle mode". (But speaking of "beagle mode"...) --Apoc 16:41, 21 January 2010 (EST)

It...could be a combination of "vehicle" ("biikuru") and "eagle" ("iiguru"), given the wings which look more bird-like than dragon-like. But that's just guess work, really. --DrSpengler 16:43, 21 January 2010 (EST)

Actually, it is simply katakana for Vehicle mode. Transmetal characters' "Transportation mode" is called "Vehicle mode" in Japanese franchise. You can see Megtron X's vehicle mode is identical to Transmetal Megatron's transportation mode, the only difference is Megatron X has wings. --TX55^TALK 21:00, 21 January 2010 (EST)

If they meant "vehicle", wouldn't they have used ビークル "biikuru" instead of ビーグル "biiguru"? I'm kinda with Spengs on it being a possible on the combination of "vehicle" and "eagle", even though that's just wild guessing. --Lonegamer78 22:09, 21 January 2010 (EST)

(Open my eyes wider this time)Oh, I think "ビーグル" is probably just a typo issue, which actually happens some times. (Not only ビーグル but also other words.) --TX55^TALK 00:53, 22 January 2010 (EST)
