    Just put any Dub out of mind for any of the Japanese TF shows. Would you buy Headmasters, MasterForce, and Victory in Japanese with Subs only? Take it or leave it, no exceptions.

    No. I'd download it.

    Subtitled-only Japanese G1 has been floating around the Internet for years.

    No, because I have no interest in the various Japanese G1 series. Even if they dubbed the series, I wouldn't buy it.

    Yes, I would buy sub-only Japanese G1. When it comes to watching anything from Japan, I prefer subs over dubs.

    This, especially given that the existing dubs are godawful.

    They are far worse than your average anime dub. Honestly, I don't even count the Star TV dub as an English dub. It's that bad. I can barely last 5 minutes watching those shows with the Star TV dub.

    No. Must be dubbed and with the same actors from the G1 series. The ones still around at least.

    Yes. I can't stand dubbing; it's generally awful, stilted, overacted, and sounds like it is being read off cards (even when done by pro actors). If given a choice I'll always choose to watch a film (or TV show, in this case) in its original language with subtitles, versus dubbed.
