Should be something like "Antagonistic Squad Leader of the Super Clumsy Cadets." It's very tricky as the phrase contains two Taiwanisms not clearly described on Wiktionary. -- Last edit: 2023-06-07 19:18:13
Andyhao ◊ 2023-06-07 19:31	I thought we use the localized native title And the words "機車" in the title actually means a person is picky and always has something to say, which makes people feel annoyed. Applying to the title, it means the picky squad leader -- Last edit: 2023-06-07 19:33:08
Gamer ◊ 2023-06-07 19:44	Well yes, that's what I intended to say. In one word, "hard to get along with" can be hard to summarize. I originally thought 機車 (motor scooter in Taiwan, locomotive in the PRC) was referring to some kind of vehicle division within the army, but as soon as I found it what they meant by 天兵, the TW slang definition made a little more sense. andyhao wrote I thought we use the localized native title We do, I was making an observation based on how they decided to market it in English. -- Last edit: 2023-06-07 21:28:47
