So I was curious about the Japanese domestic version and it was called Desk Top 144 - I've found a Japanese instruction paper with that name. It's also shown here amongst a dizzying array of SKUs including a mobile unit!

Seeing the Japanese manual the product was called ARMTRON. That makes sense to me. I think the Armatron is possibly a mistranslation of the romanization of Armtron.
