ugh... I wish I could remember the exact thread, but a couple of years ago somebody posted something up that had the same name, "mazinger", but it was something that was made or came before Mazinger the character. I was wondering if whatever that was would help to give an idea of what it means? Anybody remember what that was?

It was a bottle, a beer bottle to be exact, from the late 1800's... They pop up on Ebay from time to time. Here is more info on it:

so now ill call GM "richard t. mazinger." richard vs garada. thatd be pretty funny if someone asked the names of your jumbos and you tell them "thats gaiking, raydeen, grendizer, richard, and voltes v."

so if a Scrander "Scrands" then I guess Scrander is akin to "Scrambling" as in "Scramble a wing a jet fighters,"..so I guess that means a Scrander is actually a Scrambler?

and if a Pilder is made for Pildering then you use the Pilder to Pilder Mazinger... so let me guess, a Pilder is a "Piloter" that you need to pilot Mazinger?.. plus you need to pilot the Piloter itself because it flies??

Interesting, had wondered the origins of the names. I've half Japanese went there a bunch of times in the late 70's to mid 80's.
