Might be stupidest question... is TRANSFORMERS originally japanese or american?

I wonder when this movie gets released over in Japan all those Otaku nerdy fucks will be thinking why the hell they didnt make a goddamn awesome robot movie like America does!
 
I just checked wikipedia but it didnt give me a straight answer, basically from what I can tell the series was both co-created by japan and america.

Is that even possible?
 
The first Transformers toys were created from the different transforming robot toylines from Takara, notably the Diaclone and Micro Change (Microman) series. Hasbro acquired the rights to sell them in the United States but, instead of selling them as their original names, they were rebranded as "Transformers".
