Looks like planet M2 is a level/map too!
:D
Is that.. Another part of the song?! :D

I like the idea of Heroes very much. Hope that some of these characters will make it to the next HD game.

This set has more cards than those previously released, and in addition to covering part of GT's first arc, it also covers ALL of DBZ; from Raditz to Uub. It doesn't include every character from these arcs, but it covers most of the important ones. None of the "what-if" transformations appear in this set, so no SS3 Vegeta, SS3 Broli, SS3 Trunks, or SS Bardock.

The Gill/Giru looking robots are quasi-avatars. They are characters on your team and can be upgraded to different classes like the others, but they act more like items in that they only appear if you have an actual Avatar character on your playing field AND another actual Z or GT character with an effect for them to activate.

New characters from GT are as previously reported: Goku, SS Goku, Trunks, Pan, Uub, Dr. Mu, Super Σ, General Rilld, Σ-Rilld

Lood was also in that commercial. And first arc of GT? I hope that means will be seeing some of the Evil Dragons! Maybe Redjic/Ledgic too?!
It is in his character to be rude and a bit crass. He's a hick, with no formal education. That is Son Goku. That is who he is.

Superman in an orange Gi was the bastard son of FUNimation. Its not The real character, it is as false as Chatku.

Lood is that giant machine mutant seen in the add- http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2 ... dLuud1.png
It actually might not be a playable character... but they had Giant Slug, I believe, so it's possible.

Doll Takki is merely a con-artist who tricks all these people into thinking Lood is a God but sacrifices them so that Lood gains more power

Male Saiyan Hero
Name Spelling: Beet or Beat
Source Spelling: ビート (bīto)
Seems to be named after the the vegetable, beet, but considering the female Saiyan's name, it is possible they are using a musical naming scheme or something.

Female Saiyan Heroine
Name Spelling: Note
Source Spelling: ノート (nōto)
Doesn't seem to be named after a vegetable, instead using notebook or musical note as her pun or something. I admit that doesn't make a whole lot of sense considering tradition, and I'm hoping that there is some sort of Vegetable pun behind her name that no one has gotten so far...

Majin Hero
Name Spelling: Cabura, Cabra, Kabura or Kabra
Source Spelling: カブラ (kabura)
Likely taken from a rearranging of the famous magic word ‘abracadabra’; アブラカダブラ/aburakadabura

Namekian Hero
Name Spelling: Tsumuri
Source Spelling: ツムリ (tsumuri)
Taken from the second half of katatsumuri, one of the Japanese words for snail. Personally I don't like this name, as a playable Namekian warrior already used it in Dragon Ball Z: Legend of the Super Saiyan on the Super Famicom

White Machine Mutant
Name Spelling: Poll, Poru, Pole
Source Spelling: ポル (poru)
It is possible that this robot would make "poru/poll" noises when it talks, since it is named in a similar manner to Gill/Giru. It is also possible that it was named with a pole in mind, possibly are part of the tool theme that Machine Mutants are named for.

Freeza Clan Hero
Name Spelling: Froze
Source Spelling: フローズ (furōzu)
Don't think I need an explanation here...

What are their effects? The red one, I guess, increases your attack and the bue one increases your defence, or something like that. But what about Poll?

That I can't tell for certain, you'd need someone to translate it. From what I can gather though, the robots can be upgraded with chips they gain from characters who have the symbol on their card and maybe from Shenlong. Glancing over it in general, it looks like Poll is supposed to alter your stats (CPU chip), Red-Polll may attack the enemy (missile) and Blue-Poll may defend you from an attack (shield). It's possible the latter two just increase those respective stats higher than the basic hero-robo.

These pages should answer all your questions if you can get someone to translate 'em:

Hmmm, yes, from the pictures this seems to be the case.
Oh, yes, another question. Are they divided in Hero, Elite & Berserker or something like that?

I'd just like to take a minute to gloat about my first solo translation, despite knowing nothing about the language! lol This wouldn't be noteworthy if the Heroes website consisted mainly of text that I could just copy and paste, the fact that they use images and I have to track down the right symbols boosts my ego. =P

Anyway, I looked over the info page for you. The classification names may hint that all the robots may actually be Poll, and he can somehow transform between them. Without being able to actually read Japanese though, I have no idea what most the page says and it could perhaps confirm or deny this theory in big bold text somewhere. lol

White = サポートフォーム = Support Form
Red = アタックフォーム = Attack Form
Blue = ディフェンスフォーム = Defense form

Poll ~ lu-lu~

Dragon Ball Heroes is bringing you a new comrade, enter the Hero Robo! Now your Team can get much more stronger!!


By changing up the Hero Robo's Main Parts, ranging from Attack(Red), Defense(Blue), and Support(White), you can customize and change-up your gameplan even more.

Well, there you go, confirmation. Poll can change between the three forms via upgrades.

Surprised but loving how they're giving GT so much love. We even get an M2 stage, sweet. I always thought GT had some of the most bizarre, coolest settings and characters the franchise had to offer.

I can NOT believe they did this, because future Trunks and GT Trunks are NOT the same character, but...

So... how are you going to work that into your project?
I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!
