I've had some discussions about this issue: was the original Transformers show created in the U.S. or in Japan? and was it first a Marvel comic book that later turned into a TV Show and years later it was adopted by the Japanes? thanks for any (if any) reply
Transformers orignally came from America, it was made in America. It was dubbed into Japanese and aired in Japan and the Japanese LOVED the series probably more then the Americans did. So when the first seires ended in America, the Japanese continued by making their own Transformers series. Transformers: The Movie was also an American production to.
And the Japanese completly fagged up Transformers with crappy shows like Super Link and Armada. The only good Japanese transformers show was Beast Wars: Transformers.
Uh, no, Transformers originally started out as a Japanese toyline called Daicloners. Hasbro took the toyline and used G1 as advertising. Transformers just came home, that's all.
