" The Transformers began with the 1970s Japanese toy lines Microman and Diaclone. The former utilized varying humanoid-type figures while the latter presented robots able to transform into everyday vehicles, electronic items or weapons. Hasbro, fresh from the success of the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero toy line, which utilised the Microman technology to great success, bought the Diaclone toys, and partnered with Takara. Jim Shooter and Dennis O'Neil were hired by Hasbro to create the backstory, the latter of whom christened Optimus Prime. Afterwords, Bob Budiansky created most of the Transformers characters, giving names and personalities to many unnamed Diaclone figures." Wikipedia

so know you see transformers was based on Japanese toys. but the story was done in America. and some of the cartoons were made in japan. and some where only seen in japan.

so i think its a cartoon with some Japanese origin
