Following the release of Transformers Victory, Transformers went into a decline in popularity as older fans lost interest and younger kids considered the toys yesterday's fad. As a result, the following toylines - entitled Zone, Return of Convoy, and Operation Combination - would receive little media support. Since there is so little fiction associated with each, and since the stories segue pretty well into each other, all three will be dealt with here.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); }) | |

Villain: Exit, Stage Left | |
| Transformers Zone / int_105f4bd9 | comment |
Villain: Exit, Stage Left: Completely averted in the OVA. In the past animated series, the Autobots usually let the Decepticons retreat alive so as to set up a grand finale in the series' last few episodes. In this OVA which was supposed to be the very first episode of the new series, Dai Atlas and Sonic Bomber killed an attacking Devastator, Trypticon, and King Poseidon. The sole survivor Predaking tried to retreat but was intercepted and ended up getting bisected by Dai Atlas! | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Transformers Zone / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: The OVA is this compared to its predecessor Transformers: Victory. The Decepticons obliterate an entire planet under the orders of a demonic entity. This was also G1's most violent and goriest episode. Retaliation from the Autobots wasn't a pretty sight: Dai Atlas leaves Devastator to perish in lava, and later on he and Sonic Bomber killed Trypticon and King Poseidon in their first skirmish. When Predaking tried retreating, Dai Atlas literally cut the former into two halves, with Predaking's bisected brain briefly shown. | |

Homoerotic Subtext | |
| Transformers Zone / int_6056f853 | comment |
Homoerotic Subtext: Kain and Akira are frequently depicted holding hands, and in the OVA, there's a moment of one holding the other, both blushing when they see how close they are, but ultimately not moving away. The last of the story pages has them running through a field of flowers holding hands. It's never played as a joke, or made the subject of An Aesop about acceptance, either. | |

We Hardly Knew Ye: All the new characters, and the world of Zone itself. It was going to become a new series, or at least have more OVAs, but it never happened. The gist of the storyline was revealed in the toy-sales story pages, which is where everything in this article not seen in the OVA comes from, but... all the makings for one hell of a series were there, but interest in TF was waning by this point and it never came to be. | |

Riddle for the Ages | |
| Transformers Zone / int_96a33f11 | comment |
Riddle for the Ages: Just what exactly Scrash's deal is... nobody knows. He never received a toy, and no fiction at the time ever gave a description of what he looked like. General fan assumption is that is that he was probably intended to be the Japanese release of Skyquake. Then, in the late 2010s, fiction showed up claiming Scrash was actually a bodiless entity hijacking anyone he could find... Just to add to the mystery, the Facebook Ask Vector Prime declined to give any concrete evidence as to when and where Scrash came from (only saying he was the result of a military experiment "gone wrong"). | |
