About Transformers Super-God Masterforce

Looking for background on Transformers Super-God Masterforce (トランスフォーマー・超神マスターフォース)? This adventure, mecha and sci-fi series by Toei Animation (1988) starts out like this. The premise: Even though the Destrons have been driven off Earth, a small team of Cybertron Pretenders have remained behind, just in case. Led by Metalhawk ("Hawk" in his human identity), the Pretenders live among the humans, using their Pretender shells to assume human size and appearance.

Further in, the Cybertrons' caution is rewarded: Destron Pretenders soon appear, led by a mysterious force called Devil Z. The Cybertrons and Destrons soon build up their forces, recruiting humans to become Junior Headmasters and Godmasters (Powermasters).

As an adventure title, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Voice work is led by Hiroshi Takemura as Ginrai and Tsutomu Kashiwakura as Lightfoot. It will appeal most to anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling. At 43 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
