The anime designs adhere closer to the original toys. Don't think it would have made a difference in the TF vs. Gobots war: The anime was released in 1986, during TF Season 3, too late to have made a difference.

These aren't GoBots characters, they're based on the characters from the Machine Robo: Revenge of Chronos anime, whose toyline was headed by Bandai and only used toys and characters created by the Japanese. Zod was an American creation made entirely by Tonka, who had no Japanese counterpart.
This is also why the ones we see here aren't all the main six of the GoBots cartoon, as they are instead the characters from Machine Robo: Revenge of Chronos. This is also why the toy that looks like Cy-Kill has such a friendly looking face, as Bike Robo (Cy-Kill's Machine Robo counterpart) was a good guy. The only bad guys in the Machine Robo toyline were the monster-looking ones.

Transformer did come out in 1985 in Japan.However it was one long season. Season 1 in Japan went through '86 because it was 72 episodes. In 86 they aired 2010 but it was only like 32 episodes, which means going by weeks Japans Season 1 aired well into the first few weeks of '86, and 2010 only being 30 or so pretty much Season 1 was in '86.
The show never came about in america, Most Americans never knew there was a Machine Robo. So technically it wasn't aired here.
Finally I take no opinions to heart from any of the members here, JeLze's statement is a hypothetical, therefore no proof of any statistical data to say if it were shown, would it ever have an effect on Transformers here in the states.

Good luck with that. Don't recall the two of them ever playing nicely.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Sabrblade wrote:These are for the Japanese market.Wheeljack35 wrote:Will we be able to buy them in stores??
Sadly so. Maybe if we ask Hasbro and Bandai of America nicely (read: bug the hell out of them), they can strike a deal to release them as Classic Gobots?
