Notes
[edit]- 4 episodes of the Generation 1 cartoon ("Child's Play", "The Dweller in the Depths", "Only Human", and "The Face of the Nijika") were dubbed (or re-dubbed?) late in France, maybe because the original episodes were lost, not usable or maybe even not dubbed at all.
- For unknown reasons, Frédéric Cerdal stopped voicing his characters in Transformers Animated after episode 35. All his roles were taken over by Gérard Rouzier for the few remaining episodes.
