...And then God Ginrai shows up and takes over the whole series. One of my biggest problems with this series and the next (Victory) was how one character completely dominated each show. I loved the concept of humans turning into Transformers (and vice-versa)!
Great memories from 1991!! I LOVE with no measure the HEAD MASTER, TARGET MASTER, PRETENDER, POWER MASTER AND VICTORY ERA!! Writer & Journalist. Action figures collector since 1981.
I find it really hilarious how *_super simplistic and vacant these pretenders transformations are_* , like how many of the autobot forms *_barely fold and clump up their limbs out of the way_* so their vehicle mode doesn't glaringly obviously look like a robot trying to disguise itself as an earthen vehicle xD it's like a grown up human trying to hide behind a thin street post
not sure if anyone gives a shit but if you are stoned like me atm then you can stream all of the latest movies on InstaFlixxer. Have been streaming with my brother for the last days =)
Watching this makes me wanna see more Pretenders characters besides Bomb-Burst,Skullgrin,Iganus, and Metalhawk in Legacy someday such as some of my favorite ones like Chainclaw of the Pretender Beasts,Cloudburst, and Crossblades. And as for the Headmaster Jr's I also wanna see GoShooter and Cancer too lol.
The way the the Headmaster Juniors have to contort their bodies into heads isn't *that* outrageous. It's godmasters like Ginrai who have to do the splits then bend their knees sideways to turn into an engine that make it complicated.
METALHAWK is a great scientist and swordsman. He once worked as an astrophysicist at the observatory on Nova Point. Like all great Autobot leaders, he is a warm, noble being with a great love of life, liberty and all of that, and like all those other great leaders, he also got lost when he left to Cyberton to seek energon sources during the Stone Age.
I always wonder if there is any possibilities to make toys which can transform between pretender mode and robot mode which can still transform to vehicles.
Since Daniel teamed up with Arcee, and became the first junior Headmaster back then in G1 Season 4, the Japanese Headmaster continuity skip generation for the setting of Earth humans combining with transformers. Well, it makes sense, considering the fact Fortress Maximus will return as the new leader of Cybertrons/Autobots, which essentially means Spike can not be his pilot anymore. But well, junior Headmasters, humans who become the most powerful transformers, such stuff all comes back in Super God Masterforce series! ^v< b
Japanese G1 continuity followed this order: *Season 1 >> Season 2 >> Scramble City >> The Movie (retroactively) >> Season 3 >> Headmasters >> Masterforce >> Victory >> Zone* That's not including all of the tie-in manga stories and everything else, just the animation. Seasons 1 and 2 of the US cartoon aired in Japan, then soon after the OVA Scramble City was made. The movie wasn't released at that time, so they jumped right to Season 3. After that, Headmasters was made, and written to follow the same continuity. Masterforce was like a soft-reboot, mostly ignoring everything that came before unless it was convenient for the plot (which wasn't often). Victory and the OVA Zone brought back a few older characters and concepts, but were otherwise felt mostly detached.
The planet and the "autobots" are both called Cybertron in the Japanese continuity...the Decepticons are Destrons. The name is just pronounced slightly different (Seibātoron), but it's still spelled Cybertron,.
the planet is Cybertron and the the Autobots are called Cybertrons as well. The Decepticons are presented as being Destrons from another planet altogether, rather than the same race as the Autobots
just so you would know if Megatron actually saw them & that his army were being disrespected Megatron would seriously do some serious damage to these so called pretenders i assuming that’s their names but the real Decepticon’s Would put a bunch of bullets in those humans going around pretending to be The Real Decepticon’s plus Megatron would rip out their whatever they got that powers them up & sends them to their death’s
@@akmalfakhruddin7285 Galvatron is dead at this point too...he dies twice in Headmasters...he's revived later and becomes Super Megatron in supplemental materials that follow after Victory/Zone.
@@gerardbezak2147 Basically because the Pretenders are all Primes, hiding out on Earth to avoid the war...and the Godmasters make the Pretenders look like chumps.
Is there nobody who can translate these into English? What good is watching these when nobody, except the Japanese speaking people, knows what they are saying?
I like japanese series more than original G1, especially Victory. They lack well-written explanation a bit, but the animation, music and fight choreography are great.
What did Toei do? Hasbro develops Ugly Pretender toy that's an idea. Rather Takara and Toei look better Anime has power. Don't you understand how amazing it is when you look at the drawing?

@Greyson Griffin Yup, I have been using InstaFlixxer for since december myself :D
@Greyson Griffin Definitely, been using InstaFlixxer for since december myself =)
the Destrons don't even bother, their pretend forms are more obviously bizzare than their real forms
8:28 the best scene in the entire series!
That is very menacing slow walk for a Team Rocket of Decepticons
until they get beat up like usually at least
This makes pretenders cool.
Ever noticed that the tune for the Pretenders' transformation is the ending theme song?? Catchy!!
Same!!!
I like how in beast wars uprising the headmaster part is a amalgamation of the cartoon, comic, anime, and something original
ぬせりり
Man I used to watch it back when I was a kid
I think this show handled pretenders perfectly by having them be humans who could become regular sized transformers .
Watching this makes me wanna see more Pretenders characters besides
Bomb-Burst,Skullgrin,Iganus, and Metalhawk in Legacy someday such as some of my favorite ones like Chainclaw of the Pretender Beasts,Cloudburst, and Crossblades.

😂
All of the sounds or horrible, but otherwise this is fricking awesome. I forget about these episodes.
The first scene with the.outro sounds so epic
humans?! transorm into a head?! *bones cracking*
The way the the Headmaster Juniors have to contort their bodies into heads isn't *that* outrageous. It's godmasters like Ginrai who have to do the splits then bend their knees sideways to turn into an engine that make it complicated.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The masterforce temporarily turns the body into metal
Still great video
Cool face👍😍
The head master version made more sense tbh.
Just abit terrifying those kids are being folded in half like chairs lol
At least it's temporary instead of like marvel where they rebuild themselves for the sake of it
Back must hurt a lot.
Breaking all the natural laws top 10

Cool stuff wish that I could know what they were saying lol
Totally Classic people. This Title never arrival to the West. Thanks.
This title did arrive in the west, it was aired in Latin America.
@@hermitx8573 Lucky you...I only got the bootleg VHS tapes copied from one of my dad's friend's collection...no subtitles...it was still awesome.
My favorite Pretenders are Blood, Dauros, and Gilmer.
мой любимый мультфильм Трансформеры, трансформируются коготь волнорез фугаз и все добрые персонажи.
the 'Cons could stand to be a bit more of a threat.
the first pretender jet guy (idk his name in english) is the best coolest looking transformer, both in suit and robot forms.

やっぱり僕の記憶に刻まれている思い出深いモノといえば、トランスフォーマーアニメシリーズの日本サイドオリジナル第二作にある｢超神マスターフォース｣｡
これまでロボットキャラの活躍が中心だったのが今度はこの本編では、なんと人間が主役である事に加えて、そのコンセプトが"人間賛歌゛をメインにドラマ展開するといった人間性の随所が織り交ぜられているかなり変わったシリーズコンテンツがターニングポイントなのも興味深い。
むしろトランスフォーマーを本編の主役ないしロボットの活躍を中心に据えた舞台展開が地球なのは、地球人である人間だからだ。それにジンライは途中登板だが、後半から知らずに総司令官に任命されているのに出身が日本の長野県である事、なかでもヘッドマスターJr.の紅一点的存在の仲間に当たるミネルバは、フランスの貴族出身の外国系の女の子ながら、彼女の衣装が紺ブレザー＋プリーツミニスカートに黒のハイソックスなんていうスタイルは、当時昭和のアニメに珍しい格好が印象的なのでアニメファンから注目されていた程、ロリコン男子の人気の的だった事も感慨深い。
Metalhawk finally got a figure in Legacy. Here’s hoping the other 3 get figs soon
Still a big fan of the original g1 transformers series
Why do the cons get the classic transformation sound while the autobots get nothing
They used a diferent sound for the autobots
I miss the good old days
Dam right. I’m with you on that. Now the world is all about bills and kids.
Sorry a kid. Thank god
Boomers.
PRETENDAAAAAAA!!!
The pretenders looks so skinny
I always wonder if there is any possibilities to make toys which can transform between pretender mode and robot mode which can still transform to vehicles.
This looks like an interesting series... maybe I should watch it (with English subtitles)
It is, was kinda pissed they ended G1 with the Rebirth trilogy, headmaster aired in February of 1987, Rebirth aired September 87
It'd be cool if bludgeon was in this show
It would but this came out in 87 with the first wave of pretenders

Well, it makes sense, considering the fact Fortress Maximus will return as the new leader of Cybertrons/Autobots, which essentially means Spike can not be his pilot anymore.
But well, junior Headmasters, humans who become the most powerful transformers, such stuff all comes back in Super God Masterforce series!

Whoes here after the Metalhawk reveal?
Still irked there was no Diver pretender suit in the Power of the Primes stuff...and Grand didn't come with his either.
Diver is wave rider in the west
Masterforce activate pretender mode God on
pee tent der!!!
On the other hand, can you understand Japanese and speak it accurately?
If you can't do that, you shouldn't laugh.

I was hoping to use a masterforce Master brace you know to show off my martial arts skills
Can anyone tell me which order did the Transformers G1 Continuity came in? I AM SO CONFUSED!
Headmaster-> Masterforce-> Victory
MarineRX179 victory > Zone (canceled)
This fromTAKARA series transformers.... do not get confuse with HASBRO...
Japanese G1 continuity followed this order:
*Season 1 >> Season 2 >> Scramble City >> The Movie (retroactively) >> Season 3 >> Headmasters >> Masterforce >> Victory >> Zone*

The ones that were shown here in North America
3:47 6:02 Why only the Destrons/Decepticons make the classic G1 transform sound in this series. I am disappoint
Sometimes I just wanna punch the Sunbow G1 cartoon's fanbase that's hating on this in it's face lol.
キャブのインシグニアがデストロンになってるのは内緒やで🤫
If Cybertron is what the autobots are called in the Japanese continuity than what's the planet itself called
Seibertron.
Yeah, I know.
The planet and the "autobots" are both called Cybertron in the Japanese continuity...the Decepticons are Destrons. The name is just pronounced slightly different (Seibātoron), but it's still spelled Cybertron,.
the planet is Cybertron and the the Autobots are called Cybertrons as well. The Decepticons are presented as being Destrons from another planet altogether, rather than the same race as the Autobots
Seibertron. It is a wordplay with "Sei" means "star" or "planet,".
Seibertron
Pronounced sabretron
just so you would know if Megatron actually saw them & that his army were being disrespected Megatron would seriously do some serious damage to these so called pretenders i assuming that’s their names but the real Decepticon’s Would put a bunch of bullets in those humans going around pretending to be The Real Decepticon’s plus Megatron would rip out their whatever they got that powers them up & sends them to their death’s
Galvatron (megatron) is dead at this series
You're crazy Megatron wouldn't stand a chance against the pretenders or the master force warriors they're way stronger than cybertronians

Wait the seat becomes the helmet??? I had no idea
Its a feature from the toys!
I loved this as a kid, but nowdays transformers color schemes and appearances looking boring and don't stand out.
Is there nobody who can translate these into English? What good is watching these when nobody, except the Japanese speaking people, knows what they are saying?
TV-Nihon did sub for this Masterforce series, so try to see if you can find it somewhere.
To quote PabloJack from ROTB:
"A little racist, hermano."
迷走期
違うね。
ハスブロが相撲取りのような人形の中に小型のトランスフォーマー が入っていると言う
日本ではおおよそ売れそうも無い商品開発を支持してきた。

前半はメタルホークなしじゃ日本では大ゴケだったろう。
