Shorter one this time . . . the Brazilian take on the B.A.T.

Roboid


Roboid lived in defiance of the danger. On stormy days, walked the streets without caring lightning and lightning around you. If he saw fire somewhere, came close to call without warning asking to keep away. Before any fight, Roboid always hoped for the bad man. One day, he discovered his vocation: his coolness was ideal to serve the Cobras and the commandos burst! "Roboid" and a "Monstroid.





Not as clear a translation this time either, but there'll be worse to come in that regard. Anyway, in Brazil the BATs were apparently an individual. Basically a sociopath with no sense of self-preservation, or at least a healthy disregard for same. No explanation at all of the various robotic attachments, but I guess he's a cyborg probably. I do like the leap of logic, "Hey, nothing fazes me, I kinda dig danger, might as well become a terrorist!" Roboid is a cool name though . . . .

If anyone has a better translation, hit me with it, comments and requests for the next installment welcomed.

I have a friend down in Brazil right now doing contract work. I asked him about this one and this is what he came back with. I thought it might help trying to figure out the intent behind the translation for parts that aren't so literal.

Quote:

Facing a fight, Roboid always hoped for the bad man. One day he discovered his calling: his cold blood was ideal to serve the Cobras and kick Commands.  Roboid is a Monstroid.

 

Here is what I think it means.  My comments are in the parenthesis:

 

Roboid lived defying danger. On stormy days, (he) walked the streets without regard to the thunder and lightning around. If he saw fire somewhere, he’d close in (=approach) without regard for the warnings to keep away. Faced with a fight, Roboid always hoped for the bad man.

One day he discovered his calling: his cold blood was ideal to serve the Cobras and smash (more literally kick ass) the Joes.  Roboid is a Monstroid.
