WARNING: This post is gigantic in length.

Let us return to an earlier time in the brand’s history. A time of change and reinvention: The year 2000. The 20th Century had come to an end with the dawn of a new millennium. The Beast Wars cartoon had ended one year prior, with the new sequel series Beast Machines on its way to air on Fox Kids’s Saturday morning block (on U.S. television, that is). On the other side of the Pacific, Japan had likewise finished its run of four Beast Wars series (Beast Wars, Beast Wars Second, Beast Wars Neo, and Beast Wars Metals) and was heading into the 21st Century with its next series.

However, as the Western World was getting into the Beast Machines cartoon and toyline, Japan took a different route with the Transformers in creating yet another Japanese-original franchise, the third of its kind after Beast Wars Second and Beast Wars Neo. Instead of Beast Machines, Japan got what was regarded as the first official “rebooted” Transformers series that seemingly bore no inherent ties to any previous fiction (save for some incredibly minor elements that would later help in melding it into the larger Japanese G1 cartoon continuity when it was later retconned in 2007, but I digress). This series was Transformers: Car Robots.

By the year 2001, Beast Machines had concluded its run in the West, and Car Robots had ended in Japan as well. By this point, Hasbro and Takara had chosen to end the Beast Era and work more closely together in creating the next Transformers series as a joint-venture between the two, which eventually came about as Transformers: Armada (or Chō Robot Seimeitai Transformers: Micron Densetsu in Japan). But, as Armada wasn’t to be ready until 2002, Hasbro needed at least a year’s worth of Transformers product to fill the gap in the meantime. Thus, it was decided to port the Car Robots toyline and anime over to the West, rebranded as Transformers: Robots in Disguise.

As a Japanese creation, the Car Robots anime was the first Transformers anime series to be officially dubbed into English for American audiences. Around this time, the anime boom was in full effect with several television blocks, including the aforementioned Fox Kids, airing children’s anime of all kinds. One of the companies behind the Fox Kids block was Saban Entertainment, famed back then for such works as the first ten Power Rangers series and the English dubs of the first three Digimon anime series.

With their ties to Fox Kids, who had been a home to both Beast Wars and Beast Machines, Saban was the natural choice to dub the new Robots in Disguise cartoon into English. And like with their work on the Digimon series, Saban retained the common anime aspect of characters vocally calling out the names of their attacks and transformations while performing them. However, as decent a job as Saban had done at adapting the show for the English-speaking markets, the Robots in Disguise dub unfortunately contained the same level of terminology inconsistency that was commonplace among many less-than-accurate anime dubs from back then, including with other Saban-dubbed anime.

Provided for you today is a lengthy, thorough, as-close-to-complete-as-possible reference guide documenting all of the terms and phrases that the English Robots in Disguise dub used to refer to all of the transformations and techniques used by every Transformer character in that series, while also citing which episode(s) each was used in. This is something that, to my knowledge, has never been done before, and can be of aid to anyone wishing to figure out what the proper English terms/phrases for each character’s transformations and/or techniques from that series ought to be.

Also included are the Japanese names of the techniques as they were presented in the original Car Robots version, along with some of the more diverse Japanese transformation calls in the cases where more than one term or phrase was used in different episodes to refer to the same transformation, such as Fire Convoy’s (Optimus Prime’s) transformation into Super Fire Convoy (Optimus’s Battle Mode). Otherwise, most everyone transformed in the Japanese version with the cry of “Transform!”, “Henshin!”, or “Beast Mode!”, with or without first saying their names, and with the latter two only applying to the five Destrongers who bore the Beast Wars Predacon insignia and had animal-based altmodes. Or, they'd sometimes transform without saying anything at all.

All of the Japanese terms and phrases are presented in parentheses. Note that some terms were created purely by the English dub, while others from the Japanese version went unnamed in the English version.

This is crazy awesome man. Can't imagine how long it must have taken! I should really watch this show some day

Thanks, man. It did take a long time with a lot of work put into it.

I don't suppose you'd know who else might be into this, like, who else watched and enjoyed that show, would ya?

Also, after checking the show's episode guide, I noticed that the 33rd Car Robots episode "Plasma Abducted" ("Maximus Emerges" in the dub) made its debut in Japan on the date of this thread's creation 15 years ago. Neat.

I recently gave this guide another revision to fix a few typos/errors I previously made, and to refine the list to be a little more precise. Now every term has not only the numbers of each episode that they were used in, but also the amount of times they were used on each episode.

For example, since Side Burn transformed from vehicle to robot mode four times in episode 19, and said "Side Burn, Transform!" each time, the number 19 appears four times for the "Side Burn, Transform!" term listed under his vehicle to robot transformation.
