Well, well. Despite Zephe's claim that the original translation was very good, it seems there were two major screw ups.
Firstly they translated as "Peaceful Earth" the line "Earth was peaceful" (at least in the version I had) and secondly, they neglected to mention that the villains were after "the 1st prototype Bomberman machine".
Coupled with the cyborgs line that certainly would reinforce the idea that Bomberman is (or still was, at this point in time) a robot.
But eh, this certainly makes it difficult for later games when not only there's a whole planet of them, but even ones that are supposedly older than Shiro.

Maybe he's the first prototype of a new generation?

Furthermore, this would ulteriorly cement the fact that Earth still exists and is not forgotten at this point in the series (seeing as some of the games are SET there). Panic Bomber World and Super Bomberman 3 already suggested this, and so did Bomberman World, though in that one all we saw on Earth was a forest (which kinda made it look like it had been abandoned).
But at this point it seems evident that for the first few games on PCE and SNES, Bomberman went back and forth from Earth to the planet that would later be revealed as Planet Bomber (already in 93, before SBMAN2 we see the infamous purple moon).

A great discovery, if I may say so!

...oh and my, does the comic look crappy compared to the others. Look how plain Golem Bomber's bombs are.
...and what is up with the last page where everybody is in costume and colored differently?

Oh about Golem Bomber's profile from Fight! could it be that bad literally means bagular did not make a good job on his head/brain? And that this is perhaps why he halts in the woods? (...wait, was that in anotehr thread? Crap)
