Optimus Prime, Hot Rod, and Ultra Magnus. These are all robot cars from the Transformers franchise rooted in early 1980s Japan. Somewhat disappointingly, here in realityland it looks like Japan's real robot cars will have names like Nissan, Toyota, Fuji Heavy Industries, Honda, Mazda, and Hitachi. Assume gravelly cowboy voice:
"Hitachibots, transform and roll out!"
Yeeaaah… umm, nope.
Okay, sadly Japan's big automakers aren't yet churning out sentient, anthropomorphized, purely good or purely evil all-male robot warriors.
