As many of you are aware, there is a section on Takaratomy's Tranformers site called "Worlds of the TFs". On the last page of this site is a very nice-lokking timeline of all the shows and show-related stories. But there's just one problem, it's not in English. :-(

Would soemone here whose able to either read & understand Japanese writing or is able to do scanlations please translate this for me? I'd really appreciate it a I'm sure other would too. :grin:

Oh, and the text on the side would be nice too.

Here is an image of the timeline:

There are language converter websites you can use like:

But they don't give pure translations. Some of them are actually quite hilariously off.

Wikipedia is your best bet man.

Translation sites like that won't help. HOW can I type JAPANESE text on an AMERICAN computer?

Unless your computer is already set up with a language converter, its not gonna happen. You can do the tedious thing of copy paste into a language converter under a search engine.

That site is pretty decent.

Best Wars Returns = Beast Machines.
Beast Wars Returns was the Japanese version of Beast Machines.

And Chris, thank you so much for that translation/find. You're a real time saver. I was thinking I'd have to copy and paste each and every letter one letter at a time on one of the translation sites listed above. That would take forever for me. But now I can just enjoy reading the chart. Again, thanks a lot.
