    So, the raid where you take on multiple bosses, someone help me here...
    I've done it once and can't remember the names entirely.
    Still, the boss with the lasers has a name like it's a MNK, the MNK boss has a name like it's shooting lasers, and the whole thing's messed up.
    I think the translation department might've given the wrong name to the wrong mob.

    Presumably you're talking about Blaster, Brawler, Swindler, and Vortexer. The names are exactly the same in the JP version, in the same order, written in katakana.

    1- ブラスター (bu-ra-su-taa = blaster)
    2- ブロウラー (bu-ro-u-raa = brawler)
    3- スウィンドラー (su-wi-n-do-raa = swindler)
    4- ボルテッカー (bo-ru-tek-kaa = vortexer)

    Whether the naming makes sense to the actual mobs is another story, but they at least match up between Japanese and English.

    I did wonder if the names were mixed up.

    Yes! Exactly what I was talking about.
    It just seems like the names are wrong for it, but who knows.

    I read somewhere that the mobs were based on a group of G1 Transformers? I'm wondering if someone can describe this group and its members (Bruticus included), becuase it's likely that the namesakes of the A6 and A8 bosses might have a similar inconsistency as well.
