先翻一部分:)
The original Jetfire was a toy released in 1985, in the second wave of Transformers. Hasbro decided that the Autobots needed some kind of air support, and went looking for a toy to fill the role. They found what they were looking for in the Super Dimension Fortress Macross toy, the VF-1S Super Valkyrie.
天火最初作为第二波变形金刚玩具于1985年推出。HASBRO觉得汽车人部队需要空中支援,便着手开发玩具以填补这一空缺。他们在SUPER DIMENSION FORTESS MACROSS(太空堡垒?)中发现了目标:VF-1S SUPER VALKYRIE。
Takatoku, the toy's original creators had gone bankrupt, and Matsushiro, apparently the company that did the actual molding and manufacture, bought the rights (or perhaps used them without rights) and stepped up to the plate of producing the toys.
玩具的原始设计者TAKATOKU已经破产,于是实际的铸模与生产商MATSUSHIRO买来了版权(也有可能未经授权就使用),开始了玩具的生产。
To prepare the toy for the American market they removed the missiles and yanked the springs from the (GU-11) gunpod so it couldn't fire them even if they had the missiles, and filed off the nose of the plane so it wasn't quite so pointy. (It's also visibly shorter...) They also modified the colors, adding more red on the body (and nose), coloring the armor red, changing the emblems (stickers and whatnot) and adding to them. The Jetfires by Matsushiro are the "rare" Macross symbol Jetfires...
为了适应美国市场,他们出去了玩具的导弹以及炮中的弹簧,使玩具即使有导弹也无法弹射,还把机头削平,使它不会太尖(因此短了不少)。他们同时改变了颜色,给玩具的机身和头部增加了更多红色,将机甲涂红、改变了标志(贴纸等
)。MATSUSHIRO生产的天火是少有的带有MACROSS标志的版本。 |
