Is there something with the word that I'm not getting that is in an association? I was thinking about Marvel's Ultron for a bit, but not everybody is familiar with that character, and they're nothing alike.

I guess people are just combining the words "Ultra" and "Terminator". But he's obviously an Utrom, so i dunno.

Well he has Usagi in his name and is the same character so by my count he counts. Gen is a completely different character all together.

As for the debate of the Utrom spelling it's spelt Utrom in the comic so that's the official spelling in my book.

But what about the thousands of people that call Utroms, Ultroms?

Seriously? I always thought it was Ultrom but looking at the old comic guide on the official site it does say UTROM and yet sometimes when I read Utrom it looks like Ultrom.

So my bad... I seriously always thought it was ULTROM with a silent L rather than UTROM like how it's said. Heh...

You wouldn't be the first to make the mistake... the problem is finding the genesis of it... you know, why so many people think that it's got an L in it...

Who really cares? That kind of thing exists for everything out there, it's not a big deal. It's especially less of a deal when it's someone who isn't familiar with the comics, or the new toon. The majority of people who grew up with the Ninja Turtles don't even know wtf an Utrom is. It's like people who insist on calling a Famicom a Famicon. Correct them and move on.

It isn't a big deal, no. It's just weird how it's so common, even with those that are familiar with the comics and 2K3. Common lingual faux pas interest me, regardless of what it's associated with.

And the katakana for Famicom spells Famikon, so it's not wholly incorrect >.> But I see your point.

This a strange insult to be directed at me considering I've never done an ounce of fanfic on this board or any other????

I never said I liked Bebop and Rocksteady, I just think they are likely candidates to be in the game because they seem to be looking to please ALL TMNT fans with this game. The Technodrome is in it for gosh sakes!

I will get the game to play as Fugitoid. I have always wanted to play as him in a video game. Although I hacked my Wii, I will still buy it to help out the TMNT franchise. Also, I'm surprised no one had talked about playing as the Purple Dragons.

We're not f*cking Japanese. Famicom = Family Computer. Famicon = Family Conputer? No.

I think he just means he can see where the confusion on that one lays.

I know. Just because I used the word "f*ck" doesn't mean I'm angry. rofl

Blade Raider · 07-23-2009, 11:50 PM

I like to spell it "Uubtron" even though I know it's wrong

You cad! That's crazy talk, sir!

I spell, and pronounce, the word "skeleton" as "skellington" just to piss people off. I love when I say it around a group of anti-anti-trendy kids and they get all uppity about it.

When was the last time calling someone a cad was actually an insult.

1) With your track record, I would consider it that.
2) I meant the crazy talk part.

Oh I know that haha. I think f*ck may be one of my most over used words.

1) How can you even say that when I've never spoken to you?
2) I won't disagree.
