You're better off waiting until college, anyway. I took a Japanese course my senior year of high school and the pace was geriatric. Everything I learned in that year we covered in the first two weeks of my first college Japanese course.
Back on topic, the Japanese have never been particularly kind to the Transformers, even back when they were dubbing the American G1 cartoon. They actually
editted the episodes for length because they wanted to have a longer opening song. Because, you know, J-Pop is more important that pacing and story. And then there's that damn narrator...
You might want to check out this essay I threw together after I got my Pioneer box sets of Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers and Transformers 2010 (the American G1 series dubbed in Japanese):

The things they did to the show could be pretty heinous. However, continuing my point, while their dub of the show let something to be desired, their coverart for the DVDs was fantastic. I scanned em in here:

I'm particularly fond of
This One and would love an entire Transformers G1 series done in that style.
