Japanese Transformers - Critical View

WARNING: This post is not intended to start an argument. I am not posting to incite anyone's anger nor am I looking for another opinion. Honestly I just want to see if I am alone in my opinions or not.
So anyway, I have been a fan of transformers since 1984, and while I would not consider myself a Geewunner, I do think very fondly of that time. I collected Beast Wars and liked the Armada Toy lines for the most part. I love the stuff they are making now and look forward to the future.
I loved the g1 cartoon and movie, and thought Beast Wars was pretty cool. I didn't like Robots in Disguise but loved that the focus was returning to vehicles. I actually like the movies although I very much dislike Revenge of the Fallen for more reasons than I will list here. I loved Transformers Animated and Transformers Prime. I read some Marvel, most DreamWorks and all of the IDW up until a year ago.
All this said, I simply cannot stand the Japanese aesthetic when applied to transformers. I'm not a big fan of Manga or anime, though I have tried so this may be a big problem. But I would have thought I would have tolerated it when applied to transformers. I just can't I can't watch Armada. I tried to watch the Japanese headmasters series, I was excited to watch it and it was like biting an onion. I hate the re-dubs of Animated and Prime and while the Japanese opening to Animated is beautiful I HATE the anime conventions.
And the Japanese exclusive toys. Star Convoy is awful. The new Transformers Go! stuff is dreadful.
I know this is seemingly hate filled rant and I'm not saying this is a bad part of the fandom or anything, but I know I can't be alone on this. If there are, you can post here, and I'd ask anyone posting to keep civil and not insult fans who may like this part of Transformers. After all, it a part of the fandom.
(Also, I do like the irony that I complain about Japanese influence in a Japanese imported toy)
