Alright, time to put this Earthron or Arstron controversy to an end.

So, here's my hypothesis.

Earth Tron is what the monster's Japanese name translates to, literally. English speaker most likely started to call him this because they thought the literal translation was correct.

But a better way to do names is to find the Japanese word and put in English alphabet (or whatever "Aāsutoron" is), and find the best way to create a "English version", of the name, which would ultimately be "Arstron".

So what's my hypothesis (theory)?

I believe the administrator, Teridax and those pictures that keep popping up are correct. "Earth Tron" is nothing but a literal translation, which obviously doesn't work with names. As for "Arstron", which is what you'd get if you were to take the Japanese vowels and turn them into an English-readable word.

However, this does not mean that "Earthtron" is unusable. For sometimes, the literal translation is the used for names, but not usually. The reason that some of the Japanese pictures, with the English titles have "Earthtron" is that it has been popularly spread throughout American and other cultures. Therefore, they could have assumed that's the correct English name.

So, in the end, I think that they are both correct. But I believe "Arstron" is a better way of translating the name, so I think it'd be more correct. But this doesn't mean you can't still use "Earthtron", if that's your familiar name.
