Y was just as difficult as X to find someone for. I had to go all the way to Japan!
For the first couple of years the Transformer toys in Japan
were the same as in America. Then Takara
in Japan started to make toys that were exclusive to Japan. One of the Autobots was a “Trainbot” called
Yukikaze. I can’t tell you much about
him because the file card and packaging are in Japanese. He’s one of a couple of toys that look like
bullet trains. American toys had similar
trains about 15 years later that tied into one of the animated shows.
There were apparently six Trainbots who turned into
“Raiden.” Neat. Here, you can read more online:

As part of a group called “Dinoforce” there was a Decepticon
called Yokuryu. He was a pterosaur
Pretender shell with a smaller robot inside.
The robots from the six members of Dinoforce combined into a robot
called Dinoking.
The main thing about them is they aren’t very smart. Read more here http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Yokuryu

Well there you go, a couple of Ys! Honestly, couldn’t they come up with some
American Y names? Like Yellowjacket
could have been a recolor of Waspinator.
Or Yelp! Yahoo! Yeezy?
Come on, there’s got to be something else there.
My A to Z Challenge concludes Monday with the Z entry!

It's funny how the Japanese had their own version.
