'''With Ginrai out of commission, the Decepticons initiate an all-out attack on the Bomber Project.'''

:''Omni Productions dub title:'' "'''Plans to Destroy the Godbomber Project'''"
:''Also known as:'' "'''Destroy the Godbomber Plan'''"

==Synopsis==
[[Image:Roadking gawp.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]
Badly injured after his battle with [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]], the wounded [[Ginrai]] is taken to hospital by the [[Headmaster Junior|Headmaster Juniors]], [[Lightfoot]] and [[Ranger]]. [[Road King]] arrives late, but finds the time to admire the hospital's many attractive nurses before being led to Ginrai's room, where all four [[Godmaster|Godmasters]] discuss the [[Decepticon]]s' plans and the urgency with which the [[Godbomber|Bomber Project]] must be completed. Ginrai is prepared to struggle on despite his injuries, but Lightfoot insists that he stay in hospital and recuperate, and the arrival of a nurse to take Ginrai's temperature convinces him that this might be the best course of action…

At the Decepticon base, [[Devil Z]] communicates with the Decepticon super-weapon currently heading for [[Earth]], which is revealed to be the powerful [[Scorponok (G1)|BlackZarak]], and directs [[Mega]] and [[Giga]] to head for the [[Moon (moon)|moon]] to rendezvous with him. [[Blood]] and [[Gilmer]], meanwhile, have discovered that the Autobots' Bomber Project is being carried out in a [[British Motors]] factory, and race to tell Mega and Giga of this, but [[Hydra (Masterforce)|Hydra]] and [[Buster (Masterforce)|Buster]] intercept them and coerce the information out of them before telling Mega and Giga themselves. Giga instructs them to use any means necessary to destroy the Bomber Project, and the two Godmaster brothers head for [[Canada]] with the [[Pretender|Pretenders]] in tow.

At British Motors in Canada, the Autobot Headmaster Juniors arrive to report Ginrai's condition to [[Metalhawk]]. Hawk tells them that the Bomber Project has entered its final stage, which is the cue for an alarm to sound, heralding the approach of the Decepticons! As the Juniors head out for battle, Lightfoot arrives to join them even as the Decepticons begin their assault, blowing up buildings and smashing everything in their path in an attempt to find the secret facility housing the Bomber Project. Lightfoot battles the Godmaster brothers while the Juniors struggle against the Pretenders, with Metalhawk and the other Autobots racing to finish the Bomber Project all the while. Ranger and Road King soon arrive to tip the fight in the Autobots' favour, allowing the Juniors to focus on extinguishing the fires that are spreading through the complex. Road King breaks away from the fight to alert Hawk and the other Pretenders to a plan he has formed, and soon, a truck suddenly comes speeding out of one of the factories, barrelling past the Decepticons. Naturally assuming that the Autobots are attempting to escape with the Bomber Project, Hydra and Buster pursue the truck while Lightfoot and Ranger dispatch the Pretenders, who limp away with severed limbs.

Out in the nearby mountains, Hydra and Buster continue to chase the truck until it comes to a halt, and Road King bursts out of the cab—the cargo hidden within the truck is, in fact, simply his [[Transtector]]. Realizing that they have been duped, the two Decepticons turn to head back to the factory, only to find Lightfoot and Ranger blocking their way. They fuse into [[Darkwings]] in an attempt to escape, but the three Autobots all jump the giant jet and manage to tear off some of its wings and fins, sending the two villains spiralling off into the distance in a ball of smoke and fire.

Back at the factory, Ginrai arrives, having first become restless in the hospital, then worried when he could not contact the Autobots by phone. Relieved to see that the Autobots made it through the fight even without his power, Ginrai is encouraged by everyone to keep himself out of harm's way until he is fully healed, given that the success of the Bomber Project will mean nothing if he is not around to put it to use. At that moment, [[Phoenix]] receives a report from a [[Weather Observatory Moon Base|weather observation station]] on the moon – Overlord has arrived on the lunar surface, and the Autobots must race to complete the Bomber Project and stop the Decepticons in their tracks!

==Quotes==
"Hey, is it okay to leave Ginrai in a hospital with this many beautiful girls?"
:—'''Road King'''

"You're pretty careless for the leader of the Autobots. I can't believe you got tricked into such an obvious plot, only a child would have fallen for it."
:—Ginrai gets no sympathy from '''Road King'''

==Notes==
===Animation and technical errors===
*There's an absurdly unrealistic amount of space debris floating near the moon.
*When Lightfoot jumps out at the Godmaster brothers as they approach a building, the "RACING" decal across the top of his windshield is mirrored.

===Continuity notes===
* Ginrai was defeated in battle by Overlord in the [[Super Ginrai Gets Blown Away in the Desert!?|previous episode]].
* The mystery of the Decepticon super-weapon has been hanging over the Autobots' heads since "[[Life? Death? The Desperate Lightfoot]]". This episode at last identifies the threat as BlackZarak.
* Likewise, the Autobots have been working on the Bomber Project since the aforementioned episode.
* The existence of a human station on the moon is one of very few appearances in ''[[Super-God Masterforce (cartoon)|Super-God Masterforce]]'' of any kind of "futuristic" technology, which ''should'' be in abundance, given that this series takes place after both Season 3 of the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|G1 cartoon]] and ''[[The Headmasters (cartoon)|The Headmasters]]'', which were ''full'' of this kind of stuff.

===Trivia===
*Devil-Z's monitor uses R2D2 sound effects as ambient noise.
*Minervas' face at the begining looks creapy.
