Transform! God On!Transformers: Super-God Masterforce (1988) is the third or fourth (depending on how the third season of G1 is viewed) incarnation of Transformers produced. Divisive even by Transformers standards, it tells the story of a battle between Transformers who become humans, and humans who become Transformers.Millennia ago, a group of Transformers gained the ability to disguise themselves as organic beings. Calling themselves Pretenders, they came to live on Earth, where the Autobots disguised themselves as humans. The Decepticons disguised themselves as demons and terrorized humanity until they were sealed away in the Egyptian pyramids, Atlantis, and the Nazca Lines of Peru. Much later, the Decepticon Pretenders reawaken and, led by the mysterious Devil Z, begin an assault on humanity.A short time into the show, both factions recruited the Headmaster Juniors. These were a group of human children bonded to inanimate Transformer bodies known as Transtectors, of which they became the heads. They thus represented a medium between the American and Japanese incarnations of the Headmaster toys, while also being closest thing Transformers has had to Humongous Mecha. The Autobot Headmaster Juniors transformed into emergency vehicles, while their Decepticon counterparts transformed into animals.Later, the Godmasters (whose toys were known as Powermasters in English-speaking territories) were introduced. Godmasters were similar to Headmaster Juniors, but instead of forming their Transtectors' heads, they formed the engines. They added JinchÅ�kon, the Life Energy of humanity, to the TenchÅ�kon (heavenly energy) and ChichÅ�kon (Earth energy) of the Transformers, thus forming the ultimate lifeform — the Super-Gods of the title.In terms of continuity, Masterforce is canonically set after Headmasters; however, while Headmasters was clearly set 20 Minutes into the Future (although it was later on revealed to take in 2020 in the Generation Selects manga) Masterforce used contemporary technology and fashions. However, aside from a few brief instances, Masterforce is pretty much self-contained, and so knowledge of Headmasters is (fortunately) not necessary to follow or understand it.Masterforce was the first Transformers series to have an ongoing plot and Character Development. The theme of personal transformation, rather clumsily attempted in Headmasters, is skillfully (for a kids' show) shown here as the human characters are shown to initially be quite naïve and to gradually evolve into powerful warriors and protectors. The final result is a rather sad but satisfying ending.The toyline was largely the same as the American G1 toyline for 1989, but with a few additions, such as the Ginrai toy (Optimus Prime in Hasbro territories) coming with the Godbomber; this would not be released outside Japan until 2003 with the 15th anniversary reissue of Powermaster Optimus Prime, where it was known as Apex Armor.The Pretenders were rather simple toys with basic transformations and forgettable alt modes, which came with human- or demon-shaped posable outer shells. The Headmaster Junior toys were the same as the regular Headmaster toys — a large robot whose head transforms into a smaller robot and whose body becomes a vehicle or animal. The Godmasters also had two components; one was a small human in Powered Armor that transforms into an engine which plugs into a slot in the larger vehicle. The vehicle cannot transform into robot mode unless the engine is plugged in.note At least in the fiction. The toys could easily be transformed by simply pressing the button in with your finger if you lacked the Powermaster accessory.The cartoon received the same hilariously bad dub treatment as Transformers: ★Headmasters. The dub was first broadcast in Malaysia on RTM-1 in 1988, and later in Singapore on StarTV. DVDs containing both the dub and subtitled Japanese episodes were released in the UK in 2006 (sub only) and Australia in 2008; both were also shown in the UK on Anime Central in 2007.The entire series is now released on DVD, but you'll won't be able to find the extras post-series like you would on YouTube, since they were not included.Followed by Transformers Victory | |

Rasputinian Death | |
Transformers: Super-God Masterforce / int_13992073 | comment |
Rasputinian Death: Devil Z (merged with BlackZarak) is appropriately the toughest antagonist to kill. God Ginrai tears pieces off him and destroys his head, but Devil Z keeps moving. God Ginrai summons the Autobot Headmaster Juniors into the Godbomber Armor to boost his Jinch�kon power and succeeds in destroying BlackZarak's remaining body, but Devil Z's spirit form remains intact. It takes a final "God Fire Guts" from the combined Jinch�kon of Ginrai and the Autobot Headmaster Juniors to completely obliterate Devil Z. | |

Darker and Edgier: This is the darkest series in the G1 Transformers era. Humans are routinely killed either onscreen or through frequent gory discretion shots. The Big Bad is an outright omnicidal monster, and the brutal themes of war, the loss of innocence, and the meaning of evil are shown regularly. | |

All There in the Manual | |
Transformers: Super-God Masterforce / int_17ce80aa | comment |
All There in the Manual: A lot of plot points aren't explained during the show's run. Just what the heck the deal is with Devil Z. A clip show explained he was an evil alien. Decades later, Ask Vector Prime said he was the child of a Light God, partner and sibling to the original Godmaster, who became corrupted on entering Earth's atmosphere. And also a space alien, since that reality had become more strange after MegaZarak blew up Cybertron. The Japanese exclusive Legends comic comes up with an even more complicated explanation involving Primus and the Quintessons. As to why BlackZarak has gone from the Big Bad to a slightly tougher-than-average goon for Devil Z... he's brainwashed. BlackZarak gets his head knocked off by Ginrai in their tussle on the moon, but it doesn't slow him down. This goes completely unexplained in the show, but supplementary materials revealed the true MegaZarak is actually wired into the body's torso. | |

Asskicking Leads to Leadership | |
Transformers: Super-God Masterforce / int_1cc527d7 | comment |
Asskicking Leads to Leadership: Ginrai quickly becomes the Autobot leader after merely demonstrating a sense of responsibility and duty along with showing that he's the most powerful of them all. On the Decepticons' side, initially it looks like a subversion of this trope with the leaders Giga and Mega issuing commands but never actually fighting in person. Turns out that it's only a case of Orcus on His Throne: In the middle of the series, Giga and Mega make their Godmaster debut as Overlord and easily defeat Super Ginrai, who was previously defeating every other Decepticon with relative ease. | |

In the Name of the Moon: There few a few instances the Autobot Headmasters Junuors and later on Autobot Godmasters did say their intentions of stopping the Decepticons and ironically some of the cast members would later work on Sailor Moon with one episode where the Headmasters Juniors said it to a stewardress turned into a Destriod as it would be the actor to go play Sailor Venus. | |

Good Is Not Soft | |
Transformers: Super-God Masterforce / int_21f60711 | comment |
Good Is Not Soft: Unlike older Transformers series where the Autobots merely react to Decepticons, the Autobots in this series are relatively proactive and actually take the initiative to invade the Decepticon base after locating it. While the Autobots do not unnecessarily kill, they do brutalize their Decepticon foes on multiple occasions, punching off their enemies' body parts (after all, Transformers can heal). Additionally, Ginrai in his early appearances is not above kidnapping his enemies for interrogation, although he quickly toned down as part of his Character Development. | |

Changing of the Guard: The Autobot Pretenders are the focus of the series for the first 9 episodes.

Metalhawk who was then the Autobot leader eventually passes on his leadership role to Ginrai, and just fades into the background. | |

Worf Had the Flu: Overlord is easily beaten in several episodes either because he is distracted, weakened, or is intentionally holding back. In the rest of his appearances, he is usually the most dangerous Decepticon and it takes an entire episode to beat him, unless BlackZarak is featured prominently in the episode. | |

Chivalrous Pervert: As part of comic relief in the first half of the show, Roadking and Ginrai in their human forms have very brief moments of this but this isn't their defining characteristic. There are at least one or two times when Ginrai is seen ogling at pretty women (no, Minerva is NOT included). When Roadking sees the female nurses in a hospital that Ginrai is in he jokingly asks if he can take Ginrai's place. | |

Transformers: Super-God Masterforce / int_319e4a2f | comment |
Even Evil Has Standards: With the exception of Hydra and Buster, all the Decepticons with human components turn against Devil Z in the end, without much success. Cancer begins to question the Decepticons because he wanted to be stronger, and while he does show a willingness to fight dirty if he has to, he quickly draws the line at murder, let alone mass murder. Once Devil Z goes full Omnicidal Maniac, Cancer immediately defects. Clouder chose to join the Decepticons merely because evil sounds cool, and became a Double Agent for both sides. After relaying critical information to the Decepticons, he's imprisoned by the Autobots. With the information provided, the Decepticons attack the base but abandon Clouder to his fate, leaving the Autobots to rescue him before the base blows up. Given this turn of events, Clouder turns against the Decepticons. Wilder is one of the most vicious humans on the side of the Decepticons, but during a particular mission he abandons Hydra and Buster in a fit of disgust after they put him in harm's way while he's fighting Ginrai. Towards the end, he and Bullhorn desert the Decepticons when they were abandoned to die in their own headquarters. Devil Z's view of humanity immediately clashes with Giga and Mega, and by extension Overlord too. Overlord has been his most loyal soldier, but there are lines he will not cross. While Overlord will usually berate his subordinates, he never physically attacks them. Finally it takes a vicious beating dealt out to Hydra and Buster for Overlord to turn on his master. | |

Sorting Algorithm of Evil | |
Transformers: Super-God Masterforce / int_323f135b | comment |
Sorting Algorithm of Evil: Masterforce has the most prominent use of this trope among the Japanese Transformers G1 series. The series starts off with Pretenders and Headmaster Juniors sub-groups in both Autobot and Decepticon factions trying to defeat their counterpart. The Autobot Pretenders and Headmaster Juniors are outclassed by Hydra and Buster in any one-on-one-fights, but Ginrai soon shows up to even the odds. Ginrai in his regular form cannot beat the combiner King Poseidon, and has to combine with his trailer to become Super Ginrai in order to even the odds. Super Ginrai is easily overwhelmed by Overlord and had to one-up the Decepticons with God Ginrai. BlackZarak quickly comes into the picture to aid Overlord while Grand Maximus does the same for God Ginrai. In the finale, God Ginrai cannot beat the Devil Z-possessed BlackZarak on his own and therefore is given additional Jinch�kon power-up from the Autobot Headmaster Juniors to destroy Devil Z once and for all. | |

Good Thing You Can Heal | |
Transformers: Super-God Masterforce / int_3456f3c5 | comment |
Good Thing You Can Heal: This is touted as one of the Godmasters' abilities. Transformers in general are capable of healing from even the most debilitating injuries, but Godmasters appear to heal at a faster rate. The healing rate is portrayed rather inconsistently though. Sometimes they are presented as being able to heal from minor injuries almost instantly, allowing them to attack relentlessly without fear of getting debilitating injuries (Hydra, Buster, and God Ginrai's initial appearance) and at other times they need to waste time dodging enemy fire (every other moment). | |

Defector from Decadence | |
Transformers: Super-God Masterforce / int_38f1a7ed | comment |
Defector from Decadence: A number of Decepticons abandon Devil Z's Decepticon cult after they have enough abuse from their masters. They don't join the Autobots, but share the same objective momentarily. Wilder and Bullhorn were among their loyal members, and being abandoned to die in their own Decepticon base was the last straw for the two and they walk out on the Decepticons. They only help the Autobots so that they can have their revenge at the Decepticons for mistreating them. Giga and Mega gradually grow uneasy about Devil Z's hatred of humanity and how little he values his subordinates, berate Hydra and Buster for voluntarily giving up their own humanity, and decide to engage God Ginrai in pure physical combat to demonstrate their pride in their own flesh. Overlord turns on Devil Z when he thought the latter killed Hydra and Buster, but has to be rescued by God Ginrai. After the rescue, he decides to repay his debt to God Ginrai by attacking Devil Z again. | |

Character Development | |
Transformers: Super-God Masterforce / int_3b113b7 | comment |
Character Development: This is the first Transformers show where characters effectively change and grow as people. Perhaps to emphasize the idea that Humans Are Special, only the humans are subjected to character development while the Transformers are largely static characters which is thematically consistent with the idea that machines do not change while humans do. This is noticeable with Ginrai. At first, he's a young and brash truck driver who doesn't like to be tied down with responsibilities and definitely didn't want anything to do with the Cybertronian wars. Circumstances force him to become a permanent member of the Autobots. While fighting BlackZarak and Overlord on the moon, he realizes how beautiful the Earth is, and refuses to let it become a dead world like the moon. However, the remaining episodes completely loses focus on Ginrai's characterization in favour of plot and action, upon which Ginrai seemed to "devolve" into the personality of previous Autobot leaders. The human Decepticons themselves actually pick up the slack for this trope. Cancer's central conflict is when he knows that Minerva is being nice to him. After that, his sense of right and wrong plagues him, until he realizes the lengths the Decepticons are willing to go to destroy humanity. He ultimately defects to the Autobots, and helps them find the Decepticons' hideout. As the series progresses, Giga and Mega grow increasingly uneasy with Devil Z's hatred of humanity, which makes perfect sense since Giga and Mega previously expressed great pride in their own humanity. Cancer's betrayal only gives them further doubts about their loyalty to Devil Z. As Overlord, they finally turn against Devil Z when he starts beating Hydra and Buster for their failures. Giga and Mega start out as generic villainous co-leaders of a Decepticon cult, but by the end of the show they shown some aspects of being a Noble Demon and died regretting that they couldn't settle their rivalry with Ginrai. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle | |
Transformers: Super-God Masterforce / int_3d699462 | comment |
Curb-Stomp Battle: As par for the course for most mecha anime, most of it naturally revolving around Ginrai. Averted for Ginrai's first battle. Unlike most traditional super robot anime's first mecha appearance, Ginrai actually struggles to drive off Hydra and Buster. Ginrai's 2nd battle on the other hand has him easily defeating all 3 Decepticon Headmaster Juniors despite being relatively inexperienced, and even manages to kidnap Cancer for interrogation. This is justified as the Godmasters are portrayed as naturally far more powerful than the Headmaster Juniors. King Poseidon is the first Decepticon to completely overwhelm Ginrai... Not for long, because Ginrai quickly learns how to combine with his trailer to become Super Ginrai and deliver the stomping on King Poseidon instead. King Poseidon subsequently becomes far less threatening, with Ginrai in his Super Mode easily overcoming him each time. Overlord in his first appearance is predictably the first Decepticon to defeat Super Ginrai with ease. In fact, he nearly kills Ginrai. Averted again for God Ginrai's first battle. Again unlike most traditional super robot anime scenes, God Ginrai's first appearance grants him neither instant nor easy victory, and he needs help from Grand Maximus to defeat Overlord and BlackZarak. In most of the later episodes however, God Ginrai easily defeats any Decepticon not named BlackZarak or Overlord, and sometimes even them. | |

Bittersweet Ending: The Autobots saved Earth from Devil Z's omnicidal plan, marking the end of the Masterforce War. However, the Autobots and Decepticons continued their never-ending war in space. The humans who served as Autobots and Decepticons permanently lost their powers, but what was truly bittersweet was that the character development underwent by Overlord and the Decepticons vanished since their human halves had been forcibly purged out, leaving only the robotic part that remained wholly loyal to the Decepticon cause (formerly Devil Z's). | |

Mysterious Past | |
Transformers: Super-God Masterforce / int_421ae215 | comment |
Mysterious Past: Devil Z spends most of the series looking like a pulsating energy ball. Then, when he fuses with BlackZarak, he states he is revealing his true form. We get a brief glimpse of some creepy looking foetus, and that's it. A later clip show hurriedly explained he was an energy being from space. And as further revealed by Ask Vector Prime, Devil Z is the Godmessenger from the origins of the Godmasters he described. Godmessenger (Devil Z) and Godmaster, were originally children of a Light God, but when they entered Earth's atmosphere, Godmaster got shattered into the 8 Godmasters, and Godmessenger got corrupted into Devil Z. And then there’s the Legends Manga, which reveals he is actually information that was placed into the Matrix of Leadership by the Quintessons when they controlled Cybertron and subsequently expelled into space when they were. | |

Characterization Marches On | |
Transformers: Super-God Masterforce / int_479f9ad0 | comment |
Characterization Marches On: The inversion of Ginrai's Flanderization was ironically that of his archenemies Giga and Mega, and by extension Overlord. Giga and Mega start out as generic villainous co-leaders of the Decepticons, expressing little personality other than a God Complex and passing out commands to their subordinates. Late in the series, as Devil Z's plans become more unhinged over time and showed little care for his subordinates, Overlord begins to show internal conflicts between his loyalty to Devil Z, his pride in his own power as a Godmaster, and his concern for his subordinates. | |

King Poseidon has the same issue. He's the only Decepticon combiner in this series and is a considerable threat. After Ginrai becomes both Super and God, his threat level is practically non-existent, but only to him. Others such as Headmaster Jrs., he's still a threat to. | |

Plus, the name of the girl's little dog Pis is renamed to "Peace" in the subtitles. For obvious reasons. However, the grave for the dog has its name kept as is. | |

Unwilling Roboticisation | |
Transformers: Super-God Masterforce / int_4cb71cf9 | comment |
Unwilling Roboticisation: Played with but mostly and clearly subverted with this entire show's premise of humans becoming Transformers. All the recruited human Autobots and Decepticons are clearly fine with becoming robots — the resemblance to this trope is that most of them are not keen on losing their humanity either (the transformation is originally not supposed to be permanent). Played Straight: In some way, that is Giga and Mega's fate in the series' finale and Ginrai nearly suffers it as well. Overlord loses the human components of Giga and Mega, becoming a true robot (and also becoming fully loyal to Devil Z). Another perspective is of Giga and Mega losing their powers while Overlord became sentient. Inverted: By the end of the show, every Headmaster Junior and Godmaster who are still alive (in the human sense) are forcibly depowered while their robotic forms gained sentience. | |

Broad Strokes: Masterforce is both a clean break from and a continuation of Headmasters — something that tends to frustrate Transformers fans. The creators wanted to try something new with this series, and it has a dramatically different feel compared to any Transformers media that precedes it. But it also canonically follows Headmasters, which is casually established in the show by featuring cameos of characters from Transformers Headmasters. | |

Fantastic Racism: Devil Z's Decepticon cult shows traces of this between the humans and the Pretenders. Giga and Mega express the idea that being human makes them superior to normal Transformers. The Decepticon Pretenders on their end don't really have much to say beyond grumbling. Devil Z eventually grows to fear and hate the human race and plans to eliminate it. | |

So Last Season | |
Transformers: Super-God Masterforce / int_6156eafa | comment |
So Last Season: Happens early in the series with the introduction of the Godmasters. When Hydra and Buster appear, the Autobot Pretenders and Headmaster Juniors can barely hold them off. A Godmaster Transformer is capable of healing from minor injuries almost instantly, making it more durable and seemingly proportionately stronger and faster as a result. Godmasters are also capable of manipulating a mystical force known as Chok�n Power. When Ginrai appears, the Godmasters' involvement gradually became "business as usual", so much so that combiners and combiner-sized robots are introduced, allowing them to overwhelm the regular-sized Godmasters by their sheer size and power. As a response to combiner-sized robots, Ginrai gets a Super Mode in the form of Super Ginrai and a further Super Mode in the form of God Ginrai, becoming a Godmaster that towers over his fellow Autobot Godmasters in both stature and power. Similarly, Giga and Mega become Overlord, and shortly after BlackZarak (a mindwiped Scorponok) shows up, who is a combiner-sized Transformer with no Godmaster abilities but is so powerful that he can actually contend with God Ginrai in combat. | |

Heel–Face Turn | |
Transformers: Super-God Masterforce / int_617f0563 | comment |
Heel–Face Turn: Sixknight, Clouder and Cancer eventually abandon their original cause and choose to help the Autobots. Although the rest of the human Decepticons sans Hydra and Buster also end up turning against Devil Z, they did not do so because of this trope but rather they find their prior master detestable. Sixknight wanted to prove to the Decepticons he is the strongest by defeating Super Ginrai. When he is defeated by Super Ginrai instead, he's shocked to learned that Ginrai is human. He begins to change his perspective of humans and occasionally drops by to help the Autobots. Clouder helps the Decepticons to locate and attack the Autobot base, but is left to die soon after, and the ones who rescue him are the Autobots. He regrets his actions and aligns himself with the Autobots from then onwards. Cancer is the most sympathetic of the Decepticon Headmaster Juniors, and over time begins to question whether he is on the wrong side. When BlackZarak attacks his home country, he tries to rescue his hometown but ends up getting buried in rubble, requiring the Autobots to save him. In the next encounter with the Autobots, when he sees that the Decepticons are about to kill his rescuers, he snaps and defects to the Autobots immediately. | |

Brought Down to Normal | |
Transformers: Super-God Masterforce / int_66ea7e5c | comment |
Brought Down to Normal: Every human Godmaster and Headmaster Junior is rendered powerless by the end of the series. Clouder and the Decepticon Headmaster Juniors have their respective Godmaster and Headmaster abilities forcibly removed and their robotic halves remain loyal to Devil Z. Hydra and Buster are the only two Godmasters who willingly gave up their human halves to become fully robotic. Giga and Mega turn against Devil Z, and as punishment they are forcibly ejected from Overlord. This results in a fully robotic and evil Overlord loyal to Devil Z, with Giga and Mega dying before they could settle their rivalry with Ginrai. After Devil Z's demise, the Autobot Godmasters and Headmaster Juniors become fully human again, their robotic halves suddenly gaining sentience. | |

Idiot Ball | |
Transformers: Super-God Masterforce / int_7286e96d | comment |
Idiot Ball: Ginrai decidedly chooses to bring all of the other Godmasters instead of just him and one other to handle Buster and Hydra, leaving the exposed Autobot base to be raided by Decepticons. Furthermore, all prior instances had him take the Headmaster Juniors for rescue operations, whereas here, he has two of the Godmasters do rescue operations. Hydra and Buster have been downgraded into sublevel threats, especially when it comes to Ginrai, so they really aren't that much of an issue. The only reason he brings everyone is to give Overlord a chance to attack the Autobot base without interference. When Blood takes Minerva hostage, Cab decides to try to attack Blood while still a human, which led to Blood foolishly not taking advantage of the fact he had two hostages in his hand. | |

As the series progresses, Giga and Mega grow increasingly uneasy with Devil Z's hatred of humanity, which makes perfect sense since Giga and Mega previously expressed great pride in their own humanity. Cancer's betrayal only gives them further doubts about their loyalty to Devil Z. As Overlord, they finally turn against Devil Z when he starts beating Hydra and Buster for their failures. Giga and Mega start out as generic villainous co-leaders of a Decepticon cult, but by the end of the show they shown some aspects of being a Noble Demon and died regretting that they couldn't settle their rivalry with Ginrai. | |

Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: Hydra and Buster in the first half of the show. In stark contrast to the comedic Headmaster Juniors and Pretenders (though they have had their fair moments of being serious threats), Hydra and Buster are portrayed as utterly serious threats. This ends in the second half of the show, where their threat level minimized in comparison to Overlord and BlackZarak. | |

Villain Decay: The poor Decepticon Pretenders suffer from this. They go from being monstrously ruthless foes to the threat level of your average He-Man villain. King Poseidon also stops being quite as threatening when Ginrai beats seven bells out of him every other day. Hydra and Buster, while still threatening, quickly becomes a lot less of a danger in the second half of the show when there are more Autobot Godmasters, and when Overlord and BlackZarak take active roles in the field, in stark contrast to how they are portrayed in the first half of the season as the Autobots most dangerous enemies. | |

Sneaking Out at Night: The accompanying manga reveals that when the Decepticons get up to anything at night, Shūta has to go pick up Minerva since of the three Headmaster Juniors she's the only one who doesn't live in or around the Autobot base note the third member of their trio Cab lives in a treehouse in the forest that surrounds said base, while Shūta himself lives in the base . The problem is Minerva lives in the dorm of the international school they attend, meaning Shūta has to sneak in, get Minerva, sneak her out, and then somehow sneak her back in afterwards. One can only imagine what kind of trouble they'd get into if a teacher ever discovered a boy sneaking into the girls' dorm at night. | |

Transformers: Super-God Masterforce / int_90e31482 | comment |
Laser-Guided Karma: Anyone who learns that BlackZarak is actually Scorponok from Headmasters will find the fact that he was brainwashed a very fitting punishment given that all of his actions in the prior series were motivated by a desire for power and treachery. | |

You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Devil Z abandons Wilder and Bullhorn to their deaths in the Decepticon base, as he no longer has any need of them. This decision angers Overlord, who tries to persuade Devil Z to allow him to rescue them. Devil Z ignores it. | |

Transformers: Super-God Masterforce / int_970c790a | comment |
Jinch�kon (meaning "The Power of Man" essentially) is unique to humans. It allows the Godmasters to attain their full power by combining the three primal energies of life: the other two on their own are nowhere near as potent without Jinch�kon. Devil Z plans to collect this energy by bonding Transformer bodies with humans, kicking off the series. | |

Transformers: Super-God Masterforce / int_991ae060 | comment |
Henshin Hero: Masterforce is unique among Transformers series in that human beings play very active roles as both the central protagonists and the main antagonists. The Autobot Pretenders are a unique case of this — unlike the Godmasters and Headmaster Juniors, who all are humans who become Transformers, Autobot Pretenders are Transformers who adopt a human guise to live among mankind as normal civilians. For them, going from "human" to robot is simply abandoning their human guise to retake on their own original Cybertronian appearance. | |

Rule of Funny: In one episode, Gilmer and Blood begin to argue over who should hold the captive Minerva and begin to try to rip her from the other's hand. Minerva starts screaming in pain due to being pulled by two much larger lifeforms. If it weren't for the fact the whole thing is played for comedy, as well as possibly her Masterforce armor, Minerva probably would have been killed instantly. | |

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Hydra and Buster's relentless harassment of Ginrai is what convinces the young man to fully join the Autobots, whereas beforehand, Ginrai was on the fence. Overlord using Shūta as a shield to defeat God Ginrai is the last straw for the wavering Cancer's faith in the Decepticons, who immediately defects, rescues the Autobots, and proceeds to tell them about the Decepticon base and Devil Z. | |

Ms. Fanservice: Downplayed with Mega and Minerva (the only prominent female characters in the show), who are in fact quite modest when compared to other Japanese anime female characters. Shūta and Cab find Minerva attractive but there's only a few irregular references of that dropped throughout the show. The most risque (if that term is even applicable) shown of Minerva is her in a modest swimsuit, which is only brief shots and happened once or twice. Mega wasn't drawn to be overtly attractive and is actually more of a mother figure to Headmaster Junior Cancer. | |

Metaphorically True: A villainous example – as revealed by Ask Vector Prime, the Godmasters being parts of a divine being, the complete Godmaster, and Godmessenger being it's sibling, as told by Devil Z, are true, with the exception of the fact Godmaster wasn't a Decepticon God – he/she and it's sibling Godmessenger – Devil Z, are children of a Light God – member of Primus' pantheon of light, and kin to Primus and Unicron. It's more complicated though, as the origin of them eight Transtectors from the G Nebula stolen by Devil Z is also true, due to a Cosmic Paradox that created a Schrödinger's Cat situation. | |

Cerebus Syndrome: While the first half of the series has some dark moments and gut-wrenching scenes, it has plenty of comedy, most of the Decepticons schemes are relatively straightforward and easily beaten, and things frequently end with everyone laughing or happy. The second half has fights that leave innumerable humans dead even if off screen, the comedy takes a vicious nose dive and ultimately leaves altogether, and Devil Z decides to adopt a Final Solution. | |

Mundane Made Awesome: Starting a trend with this series, both Autobot and Decepticon factions started having flashier transformation sequences. Later shows, including American shows, began to do the same thing, and Transformers Victory overdoes it with a minute sequence. | |

This belief is also held by Giga and Mega, although less obvious early in the series due to them emphasizing the superiority of Godmasters. In contrast, Hydra and Buster (but especially Hydra) despise their own human selves. The difference becomes clear when Hydra and Buster willingly give up their humanity in order to become fully machine, while Overlord decides to express his pride in his own humanity by physically engaging God Ginrai without weapons. | |

Continuity Snarl: The fact that Masterforce was intended to be a sequel to Headmasters makes viewers wonder things like "if this show is set post-2020, why is its setting indistinguishable from the late 1980s?" or "considering that the Autobots previously had a public presence on Earth, why don't humans recognize Transformers anymore?" Don't expect the show to address these questions. Metalhawk claims that Chromedome supplied the Transtectors for the Headmaster Juniors, but the ending of Masterforce put this into question because BOTH Headmasters and Godmasters loses their powers after Devil Z's death. | |

Humans Are Special | |
Transformers: Super-God Masterforce / int_e0207930 | comment |
Humans Are Special: This is the series' overarching theme. The belief that humans are special is why Metalhawk and the other Autobot Pretenders have adopted human disguises — to live among mankind. Jinch�kon (meaning "The Power of Man" essentially) is unique to humans. It allows the Godmasters to attain their full power by combining the three primal energies of life: the other two on their own are nowhere near as potent without Jinch�kon. Devil Z plans to collect this energy by bonding Transformer bodies with humans, kicking off the series. Ginrai regularly extols and demonstrates the indomitable will of humanity to his non-human opponents. This belief is also held by Giga and Mega, although less obvious early in the series due to them emphasizing the superiority of Godmasters. In contrast, Hydra and Buster (but especially Hydra) despise their own human selves. The difference becomes clear when Hydra and Buster willingly give up their humanity in order to become fully machine, while Overlord decides to express his pride in his own humanity by physically engaging God Ginrai without weapons. | |

Flanderization | |
Transformers: Super-God Masterforce / int_e5e6640b | comment |
Flanderization: The character of Ginrai was severely hit with this trope soon after he gained his God Ginrai Super Mode. In the first half of the show, Ginrai is a relatively fleshed-out character with a personality. Initially starting out as a free-spirited young man trying to live the life he wanted, Ginrai shows that he is not above making mistakes and Character Development sets in over the course of a few episodes. Shortly after his first battle as God Ginrai, his character becomes like the generic and flat characterization of the Autobot commanders of the past series. | |

Transformers: Super-God Masterforce / int_e7cb0762 | comment |
More Senior Subordinate: At the beginning of the series, the Pretender Metalhawk is the highest ranking Autobot on the planet. However, after Ginrai joins the cast, Metalhawk passes the role of field commander to him and spends most of the remaining episodes acting as Mission Control, despite Metalhawk being a veteran warrior millions of years old and Ginrai being a 19-year old Japanese truck driver. His reasoning is simple: as a Godmaster Ginrai is vastly more powerful than Metalhawk is, and his strong battlefield presence and leadership just needs proper guidance Metalhawk can best offer as Mission Control. | |

Early-Bird Cameo: The intro of the series shows major characters 15-20 episodes before they are introduced in some cases.

Super Gullible: This appears to be one of Ginrai's more noticeable characteristics as the series progresses. He invites Sixknight to join the Autobots but Sixknight declines, even remarking that Ginrai shouldn't be so trusting. Ginrai later accepts Clouder into the ranks of the Autobots, a mistake that costs the Autobots their base. Even after the betrayal, Ginrai accepts (verbally at least) a reformed Clouder's declaration that he wants to work for the Autobots. Finally Ginrai readily saves his archenemy Overlord from Devil Z just because Overlord is human like he is. Luckily for Ginrai, Clouder's reformation is genuine and Overlord repays Ginrai's rescue by turning against Devil Z. | |
