I started watching transformers all the series recently.
And i thought i would watch the japanese versions too.

G1 i know was made in America so the Japanese is likely not be diferent.

But others arnt.
And if a cartoon is made in Japan and Translated its usually better in teh original.
So what are the Japanese names for the series?
Beast Wars
Beast machines
Robots In Disquise.
Armada
Any other i might have missed.

And what are the series made only in Japan and not seen here?

I know of Headmasters but no others.

Japanese names for some of the serries

TF Robots In Disguise.= Car Robots 2000
TF Armada= Chō Robot Semetai Transformers: Micron Densetsu [a better translation is "Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Micron Legend]
TF Energon = Transformer: Superlink
TF Cybertron = Transformers: Galaxy Force

If I'm right our Beast Wars was known by the same name in Japan but Beast Machines was know as Beast Wars returns or something simular.

G1's season 1 and 2 were known as Transformers Fight! Super Robot Life

G1 season 3 was know as Transformers 2010

No there were quite a few Japan made TF serries that werent brought to the U.S. but some were dubed into English [baddly] for the Malasion and U.K. markets if I'm right.

Transformers: HeadMasters [was dubbed into english]
Transformers: Super-God Masterforce [was dubbed into english]
Transformers: Victory [was dubbed into english]
Transformers: Zone was an one episode pilot for a new serries that never took off.It was also the end of the G1 line of cartoons but G1 would continue in Japan as a toyline and some Manga comics.

There were also 2 other Beast Wars shows in Japan.

Beast Wars II which also had a movie.
Beast Wars Neo

I may have gotten a thing or two wrong but thats the jist of it.
