* MemeticPsychopath: In the Japanese fandom, this series' version of Optimus Prime gets similar jokes about being a murderous lunatic to the sort that the [[Film/Transformers2007 Bayverse]] incarnation gets, due to ''Car Robots'' including a bizarrely high number of scenes in which he goes into an UnstoppableRage against the villains despite the majority of them being [[HarmlessVillain rather harmless]], something made worse by the fact that they are stated to have once been his childhood friends. Scourge's existence — an evil copy of Optimus that's EvilerThanThou to ''[[BigBad Megatron]]'' — made it even worse, and Japanese fans like to joke that this Optimus isn't an "Autobot [[BigGood Supreme Commander]]" but an "Autobot [[BigBad Emperor of Destruction]]". The US fandom doesn't really share this view, largely because of script changes for the dub.

* SugarWiki/SuperlativeDubbing: Many fans consider the dubbed ''Robots In Disguise'' version superior to the original ''Car Robots'', feeling that its funnier, has better scripting, tones down the [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment randomness]] the original could sometimes get into, and works in a lot of [[MythologyGag fun ties to other entries in the franchise]]

* SailorEarth: With the exceptions of Megatron/Galvatron and the ToylineExclusiveCharacter Bruticus, all of the Predacons that appeared in the show were redecoes of the Transmetal 2 figures from the WesternAnimation/BeastWars toyline, including the other toyline exclusive Predacon Cryotek (made from repainting the Transmetal 2 Megatron in blue). This leaves twelve distinct disigns for fans to work with for creating new Predacons.

* AmericansHateTingle: By Hasbro's account, Team Bullet Train was such a notoriously slow mover on the toy aisles at the time of the show's release that it convinced the design team to never reissue or reuse the set (despite it being quite well-regarded among collectors). This is believed to have originated from the simple fact that high-speed rail has historically struggled badly in America, compared to Japan's nigh-ubiquitous and practically patriotic ''shinkansen'', which has had [[SteamNeverDies similar effects]] on the country's much smaller RailEnthusiast fandom.

** The dubbed first episode is supposed to be a Scientific Symposium which clashes heavily with the visuals of people partying due to the Japanese version being a millennium celebration. The party/scientific stuff sounds like what [[Webcomic/GirlGenius Agatha's world would do]].

* {{Woolseyism}} The entire show was rewritten for the English version such as changing the Energon Matrix to the Matrix of Leadership, explaining certain events better (Megatron in the Japanese version of the first episode says he's here to capture all of the scholars. The English version says he's after Dr. Onishi which fits his plans better) and getting rid of the cartoony reaction shots.

Doesn't help that he intends to repeat the process. What a scumbag really.
