Hasbro holds the International rights to Transformers. In Japan, Transformers licensing belongs to Takara-Tomy.That's why one will not see TFL or TFR in Japan due being a Hasbro licensed product.

TFL was modified slightly for the China and subsequently Korea release. The gameplay didn't catch on due to the demands of the China market. This prompted DeNA China to create a different TF based game more suited for the market segment. In the end, DeNA China ported the player base of TFL China to TFR offering large rebates of CyberTickets based on their spending in TFL China. The dev team responsible for creating TFR China & Taiwan/HK is now tasked to develop the International versions.

The current iteration of TFR (English) is actually developed for the SE Asia market segment. A US/UK version is planned for future release and possibly adopting more changes suited for that segment.
