Chasing japanese tf cartoons

[DELTAprime]

I asked Madman a couple of years ago if they were planning anything with Car Robots, Micron Legacy, Super Link and Galaxy Force. They said they would love to but someone else has the rights to them.

As Gouki said, the Japanese G1 stuff is available on licensed DVDs by Madman.

There are online versions of Beast Wars II and Neo out there -- another member here downloaded and burnt me a copy of them. I personally have all of Car Robot and Micron Legend on VHS (NTSC)... I really need to get them converted to disc. You can find unlicensed copies of Super Link and Galaxy Force in Asian DVD shops.

I take it that you and/or your son can understand Japanese? Because none of these series have ever been officially translated into English. I think there are fan subs/dubs of Beast Wars II, but I don't know of they managed to do the entire series or if only some parts. I'm sure the Beast Wars movie was fan subbed though. I'm not aware of any fan translated versions of any other JP series that came after that (i.e. BW Neo onwards). The Asian DVDs do have English^Engrish subtitles... but the Engrish is so bad you can't understand what the hell they're saying (you're better off just watching it raw rather than being distracted trying to read unintelligible Engrish).
