I've changed a lot since I started hanging with Sonic, but I can't depend on him forever. I know I can do this by myself! Okay, Eggman! Bring it on!

I would go for that if not for the fact that I know shipping would kill me (going by the Ryuutama kickstarter anyway).

So I dunno, I hope there's some kind of tier that's just PDF + notes, or maybe translated version + notes?

Yeah. The ideal for me would also be book/PDF and TL notes, without the originals.

"Bee" is probably a translation error or a pun that hasn't been revealed yet from the kanji/fluff text combo (Worker Bee, Busy Bee, etc). The original engrish text comes from the original design team sometimes not having an appropriate phrase or misunderstanding so they end up with something that doesn't make a lot of sense at face value; same thing with "Drone" (we might go with a Dragon Quest reference there of "Lazybones").

I have a feeling that worker bee is what they are thinking of when they say bee, as in one of a group that does some mundane task. Though I make this assumption purely because it's used in almost the same way as in the series Letter Bee, so I am not confident in this assertion.

Yeah. I would only think about literally translating it like that if I also inserted in a Sunlight Yellow Overdrive joke. And even then...
