Talking about combiners and giants, I have two things to explain.
谈到组合金刚和巨型机器人,我要解释两件事。
First, technically the first combiner in the cartoon should be Reflector — three robots combining into a camera. But, that’s not what we are talking about here, right? When we say “combiner”, we mean a giant robot that is the combination of a 5- or 6-robot team.
首先,严格来说动画片里的第一个组合金刚应该是照相机三合一。但那并不是我们这里说的组合金刚,对吧?我们说的“组合金刚”指的是一个由五人或六人战队组成的巨型机器人。
Second, on the autobots’ side, there are three giant robots who are not combiners: Omega Supreme, Sky Lynx and Broadside. Broadside is also a triple changer and his pictures are put in the “Special types” category. Strangely my stickers don’t have any pictures of Sky Lynx, who was the archenemy of Predaking and an important figure in the cartoon. Considering that many sticker images came from Japan, maybe Sky Lynx just wasn’t a popular figure among the Japanese audience because it didn’t have a human form? That’s a pity.
第二,汽车人那边有三个非战队组合的巨型机器人:大力金刚,天猫(也叫“山猫号”),排炮。排炮也是三变形机器人,他的图片在“特殊类别”那一栏。奇怪的是,我的不干胶上完全找不到天猫的图片。天猫是冲云霄的死敌,在动画片里出场也很频繁,可以说是重要人物。考虑到不干胶上的图片大多都是日本来的,我猜测天猫在日本观众里面不太受欢迎,可能是因为它没有人类形态?真是遗憾。
Now let me show the cartoon screenshots of Sky Lynx. Sky Lynx consisted of two parts. The upper part was a spaceshuttle that could transform into a dinobird. The lower part was a cabin that could transform into a lynx. And these two parts could combine into Sky Lynx as in the picture below.
现在我来展示一下天猫的动画片截图。天猫由两个部分组成,上半部是一架航天飞机,可以变形成恐鸟,下半部是一个客舱,可以变形成山猫。这两个部分可以组合成天猫,如下图所示。
In some sense, the design of Sky Lynx was similar to Duocons and Duobots in the Headmaster series later.
从某种意义上说,天猫的设计类似于以后在头领战士系列里出现的双组合机器人。
The sticker galleries below contain images of all combiners and just one giant — Omega Supreme.
下面的不干胶图库包含的是所有的组合金刚和一个巨型机器人–大力金刚。
Portraits || 肖像
Constructicons, Devastator || 挖地虎,大力神
As the first combiner, Devastator used to be the star of so many episodes. He practically kicked ass every time he showed up, and he even saved Earth from total destruction in one episode. But, ever since Omega Supreme showed up, Devastator had lost his premium status. What’s more, in later episodes he became basically a pushover. It looked like the only reason he showed up was to get his ass kicked. Alas, such is the fate of outdated characters…
作为第一个组合金刚,大力神曾经风头出尽。他每次出现都会把汽车人打得落花流水,而且在某一集里他还拯救了地球。但是,自从大力金刚出现后,大力神的优越地位就一去不复返了。在后期,他甚至成了个软蛋,基本上每次出场的唯一目的就是挨揍。唉,过气人物的命运真是悲惨…
Aerialbots, Superion || 飞行太保,大无畏
Again, Superion/Aerialbots used to be the star of many episodes. They defeated Menasor and Bruticus multiple times, traveled back in time to save Optimus, and even put up a good fight against Trypticon which left it wounded. But, in “the Rebirth” episodes, they were single-handedly defeated by Sixshot in like 30 seconds, without the chance to say a line! That’s just unbelievable…I mean the way the story writer treated them. Alas, such is the fate of outdated characters whom the story writer no longer cares about…
大无畏/飞行太保也曾经是风头出尽。他们数次击败飞天虎和浑天豹,回到过去拯救了擎天柱,甚至对铁甲龙也打了一次漂亮仗,伤了铁甲龙。但是,在“重生”剧集里面,他们居然被六变兽一个人在30秒以内打败了,连台词都没有一句!真是难以置信…我指的是编剧对他们的这种垃圾般的处理。唉,过气人物的命运就是这么惨啊!姥姥不疼舅舅不爱了…
Stunticons, Menasor || 飞虎队,飞天虎
Menasor was supposed to be the archenemy of Superion. In one episode, Soundwave said that Menasor’s sword was some kind of special weapon. It seemed that it had the capability of disassemble other combiners upon hitting. In the first episode of the Rodimus-Galvatron age, Menasor used his sword twice to cut down Devastator, in a fight for energons.
飞天虎是大无畏的死对头。在某一集里,声波说飞天虎的剑是某种“特殊本领”。好像这把剑具有拆散其它组合金刚的能力。在补天士惊破天时代的第一集,为了争夺能量块,飞天虎用剑两次把大力神打散了。
Combaticons, Bruticus || 战车队,浑天豹
Starscream created Combaticons to help him seize power from Megatron. Bruticus beat Devastator easily with superior strength and Starscream almost succeeded. But a sneak attack from Menasor saved Megatron. Exiled by Megatron, the combaticons attacked Cybertron and wanted to use the space bridge to send Earth into the sun, thus destroying Megatron along with all autobots on Earth. Megatron teamed up with Optimus to stop Bruticus, and in the end reprogrammed Bruticus to follow his order.
红蜘蛛创造了战车队,用来帮他从威震天那里夺权。浑天豹力大无比,轻松打败了大力神,红蜘蛛几乎就要成功了,但是飞天虎的奇袭导致他功败垂成。被威震天放逐后,战车队袭击了赛博坦,还打算用太空桥把地球送进太阳,一劳永逸的干掉威震天和地球上的汽车人。威震天和擎天柱联手阻止了浑天豹,最后浑天豹被重新编程,服从威震天的命令。
Protectobots, Defensor || 机器卫兵,守护神
Defensor was the archenemy of Bruticus. He could create an energy barrier around him that could block most attacks. He once blasted Bruticus into pieces, and only Swindle survived. Later Megatron ordered Swindle to reassemble the other combaticons and made Bruticus live again.
守护神是浑天豹的死对头。他能够以自己为中心制造一个能量罩,可以抵挡大多数攻击。守护神也曾经把浑天豹炸成碎片,只有诈骗活了下来。后来威震天命令诈骗重新组装战车队的其他成员,让浑天豹复活。
Predacons, Predaking || 巨狰狞,冲云霄
Predaking was the first new combiner in the Rodimus-Galvatron age. It seems that many people like him. His design looked pretty cool – a combination of robot beasts. And in the episode where Tornedron was destroying the universe, Predaking stood his ground and would rather die fighting than running away. That probably added to his popularity as well.
冲云霄是补天士惊破天时代的第一个新的组合金刚,好像很多人都喜欢他。首先他的设计看上去挺酷的 – 机器猛兽的组合。然后在蝎子精吞噬宇宙的那一集里,冲云霄选择了宁可战死也决不逃走的英勇态度,给他的形象也加分不少。
Terrorcons, Abominus || 龙头怪,犰狳鬼
Terrorcons transform into monsters such as two-headed dragons.
Now it should be clear that decepticons are animal-lovers, right? They even carried this tradition over to the Headmaster series…just look at Piranacon and Dinoking.
龙头怪变形成一些怪物,比如双头龙之类的。
现在大家都应该看出来了,霸天虎是动物爱好者,对吧?这个传统还一直延续到头领战士系列呢,有海皇和恐龙王为证。
Technobots, Computron || 神风队,计算王
Created by Grimlock and inherited his wisdom, Computron was a popular combiner that came late in the G1 cartoon. Apparently his calculating capability was unmatched, but could be cheated if he’s fed with wrong information like in the Episode “Money is everything”. He was the archenemy of Abominus. In their matches, it seemed that Abominus had more brutal strength, but Computron won most of the time because he could calculate out a smart strategy.
计算王是钢锁制造的,继承了钢锁的智慧。他是一个颇有人气的组合金刚,但是在G1系列里出现比较晚。他的计算能力天下第一,但是如果给他错误信息的话,他也会上当,在“金钱万能”那集里面就是这样。他是犰狳鬼的死对头。从他们的对战看来,犰狳鬼蛮力较大,但是计算王能算出聪明的战略,所以赢得比较多。
