Sodom was renamed Katana.
Damn'd (brilliant name) was renamed Thrasher.

>What was the actual story behind the changes?

Human-on-human violence was censored in Germany at the time, so Konami changed all the human characters to robots for the entire EU release.

I think Germany's reasons had to do with not wanting to repeat the Holocaust, but I'm not sure. They were really sensitive about that subject for a while.

The censorship change ended with the Game Boy version of Probotector. Even though it was still called Probotector, you played with human characters.

Not apologetic, more like they did not want it to repeat itself.

And it's not just the world wars but the fact that they had riots and shit nonstop in east Germany.

WW1 was not started by them, though. They just supported it the most, once it was started.

Didn't even bother to properly read my post did you?

I said Germany were the not the ones who kicked off the conflict. That was a whole other complicated mess.

But it Germany taking advantage of the turmoil to invade completely neutral countries which blew the whole thing up to being a World War.

That was only in the version included in one of the Konami GB Collection multicarts, which had a GBC-enhanced version of Probotector among other old Konami games. The original stand-alone releases of Probotector and Probotector 2 on GB still had the robots.

Also, if you want to be technical, the first console Contra game released in the PAL region without any rebranding or graphical alteration was Legacy of War on the PlayStation.

The original arcade Contra (under the name Gryzor) and Super Contra (with no name change) were released in Europe as well with the human characters intact.
