Topic: Digimon Xross Wars

Taiki... Taichi... heh.

[Gaia]

Nah, I bet fans will most likely go with the "TADAH!!" name tradition and swap them around. This should be fun, albiet skipping Savers and Frontier being cut off in the US (Well, half of Frontier, or I missed plenty of it).

I think the card game will also likely get rules revamped.. again. I heard there was also a game to accomidate this too.

[Mirby]

There's more up on the site now, as of the 21st. This is a basic copypaste. Good translations would be nice.

Thought I'd share. ^_^

[Dr. Wily II]

... It's beginning to look more and more like the Digimons are Transformers...

[Archer]

there's a character wearing goggles? shocking

[Blackhook]

Digimon megazords?

[Rin]

... It's beginning to look more and more like the Digimons are Transformers...

It seems you forgot they were turning into robots since the beginning of the series.

I dig that brown haired girl who dresses in purple.
Also, wanna bet the blonde kid will be a prick?

[borockman]

Usually that kind of guy will be your friend in the end.

[Dr. Wily II]

It seems you forgot they were turning into robots since the beginning of the series.

Perhaps. But not like combining Megazords (sans Omnimon and Imperialdermon Paladin Mode).

[Mirby]

Could we have names? I assume that's what it says underneath their pics, and I'm sure someone here can translate.

Also, see: Metalgreymon, Metalgarurumon, Wargrowlmon, etc. for them turning into robots.

And you do have a point, Wily.

[Dr. Wily II]

WAIT
I'VE GOT IT

The localisation name will be...
DIGIMON: ROBOTS IN DISGUISE

[borockman]

Oh you want names ok.

Dorurumon- the brown dog like
Shautomon?- the one on the left red. (someone need to do a better job than me)
Starmon- Self explanatory
Ballistamon- right bug one

Digimon Crossroader?

The megazord is called Shautomon cross four.

The casts:
 
Kudou Taiki
Hinomoto Akari
Tsurugi Zenjirou
Aonuma Kiriha
Amano Nene

From left to right.

[Dr. Wily II]

Wait, Starmon?
I recall there was already a Starmon, and that's doesn't look like it.
Unless...

[Blackhook]

I think it´s a pre evolution of Starmon...wait this isn´t pokémon, anything can be a evolution to anything in Digimon...

[borockman]

Unless my katakana skill failed me, yes it's called Starmon or Sutaaaaamon literally.

[Mirby]

Shautomon is the previously announced Shoutmon. Which means that he's the basis for the crosses. I'm guessing if only two Digimon are involved, it'll be Shoutmon Cross Two. Also, it seems to be a new take on Jogress, or rather, DNA Digivolution.

And the Starmon you're thinking of is probably this guy:

Looks like he got a redesign.

@Blackhook: you're kinda wrong there. There are set Digivolution lines. I'm pretty sure that the Starmons we've seen before were Champion/Adult level or higher; this is obviously a Rookie/Child.

[Archer]

you know, i'm reminded of gurren lagann

it's the drills

[Dr. Wily II]

And the Starmon you're thinking of is probably this guy:

Looks like he got a redesign.

Yep, this is the Starmon I was mentioning.

[Mirby]

So from what I can tell, that phone thing is obviously the new Digivice. Kihira and Nene are rivals of sorts; we don't know if they're good or bad yet, but the other Digimon (primarily Shoutmon, Dorurumon, Starmon, and Ballistamon) can merge a la Jogress to form Shoutmon Cross Four. Kihira and Nene's might not be a part of it, or maybe their Digimon can merge as well. I'm guessing that there's a fourth kid as of yet unrevealed too, based on the four that merge and only three kids. Starmon is probably Akari's. That leaves either Dorurumon or Ballistamon for Zenjirou.

This is all speculation, mind you.

[Archer]

So from what I can tell, that phone thing is obviously the new Digivice.

and here i thought it was the new pokegear

[borockman]

I thought it was a glorious ipod? 

[Mirby]

Hey, they might get music on that thing!

[Dr. Wily II]

LOL, Pokegear.

And from the kanji...
It's more like Kihira and Nene are part of some mysterious enemy army force. *shrug*

[Blackhook]

That little starmon looks actually more like Superstarmon
