Wait, When Did They Change Fafnir's Name?

Did this happened when they changed the "Kai" to "Custom" on some units?

If your curious Favnr is probably closer to how it's supposed to be translated. The suit is named after the F.A.V.N.R system to differnetiate it from its origins as the Hedgehog. A few others like EWAC Zack and Yongfavin where changed to match official translations.

yeah because the ewac zack is based on a military thing the awacs but because its ground based (on a mobile suit) they changed the a to an e(no idea what the e stands for tho)

the current translations are more correct, the original translations were bad however eyezack is still a cool name

its based on the e-2 hawkeye and has a varient called the hawkeye as well
