About Transformers The Headmasters

If you are hunting for a new adventure series, Transformers The Headmasters (トランスフォーマー・ザ☆ヘッドマスターズ) deserves a look (1987). The setup goes like this. The setup: Headmasters begins with Galvatron leading a new batch of Destrons to wage war on Seibertron, the Destron Headmasters. The Cybertrons are rescued by the arrival of the Cybertron Headmasters, led by Fortress (Cerebros, the head of Fortress Maximus).

Along the way, it is revealed that Fortress left Seibertron millions of years ago in search of energy, and have finally managed to come home. He explains that the Headmasters are from a planet called Master; the human-sized robots who live there built themselves Transformers-sized bodies. They can then transform themselves into the heads of the robots, and have now joined the Cybertron-Destron war.

With adventure at the core, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Convoy (Tesshou Genda) and Soundwave (Issei Masamune) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling. The run is 35 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
