Awakening in 1985, after they crash land on pre-historic Earth following a bitter civil war on their home planet of Cybertron. The series originally ran for 3 seasons in both Japan and abroad and continued on for another 3 seasons and an OVA in Japan.
Two opposing factions of transforming alien robots engage in a battle that has the fate of Earth in the balance.
In 2005, the war between the Autobots and Decepticons has culminated in the Decepticons conquering their home planet Cybertron, while the Autobots operate from its two moons preparing a counter-offensive. Optimus Prime sends an Autobot shuttle to Earth's Autobot City for Energon supplies, but the Decepticons, led by Megatron, commandeer the ship and kill the crew, consisting of Ironhide, Ratchet, Prowl and Brawn. Travelling to Earth, the Decepticons attack Autobot City, slaughtering many Autobots and leaving only a small group alive including Rodimus, Kup (Transformers), Ultra Magnus, Arcee, Springer (Transformers), Blurr, Perceptor, Blaster (Transformers), and the human Daniel Witwicky. The next day, Optimus and the Dinobots arrive as reinforcements. Optimus single-handedly defeats the Decepticons and engages Megatron in a climactic battle that leaves both of them mortally wounded. On his deathbed, Optimus passes the Matrix of Leadership to Ultra Magnus, informing him that its power will light the Autobots' darkest hour, and dies.
Headmasters starts with Galvatron leading a new batch of Decepticons to wage war on Cybertron, the Decepticon Headmasters. The Autobots are rescued by the arrival of the Autobot Headmasters, led by Fortress (Cerebros, the head of Fortress Maximus). It is revealed that Fortress left Cybertron 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 Autobots/Decepticons war.
Transformers: Choujin Masterforce aired on Japanese television from 1988 to 1989. Taking place after Transformers: Headmasters, it is the story of how Metalhawk and his small team of Autobots must protect Earth from the mysterious Devil Z and his Decepticon forces. Humans play many prominent roles in Masterforce, from the Decepticon husband-wife team of Giga and Mega to the Autobot's Junior Headmasters and the reluctantly-recruited Ginrai. Masterforce is often considered second only to Transformers: Victory as a fan favorite.
