New Here - Question About Japanese G1

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum as a member but have visited as a guest plenty of times before, and have taken the plunge in registering with my first genuine question!!
I recently bought the 80s Transformers: Universe compilation, and am planning on getting Dreamwave's More Than Meets The Eye series soon. I'm really interested in reading the background stories around all these different characters, as well as checking out the awesome artwork. The question that brings me here, then, is surrounding the Japanese series' from Headmasters up until the manga-only series. These profile comics that exist for the G1 branch, is there any mention of these Japanese characters in there, such as Overlord etc? Do they have different names in these US comics? Is there a 'sequal' comic that might have all the profiles of these characters? I'd love to see some artwork of the Japanese G1 characters, especially those like Star Convoy or Super Megatron. There's such a dearth of material relating to them, and with my freshness to the comics (just started reading through the 80s comics compilations for the first time, only on the second volume!) I'm really interested in reading as much as I possibly can, especially about the Japanese series..as I don't know a whole lot about the individual characters! Any help here would be great.
Thanks!
