'''''Transformers: Zone''''' (トランスフォーマー{{ruby|Z|ゾーン}}), sometimes '''''Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone''''' (戦え!超ロボット生命体トランスフォーマー{{ruby|Z|ゾーン}}), is the Japanese ''Transformers'' sub-franchise for 1990. The waning popularity of ''Transformers'' became evident with ''Zone'', which received very little in the way of the traditional media support with its cartoon being truncated to a single [[Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!|direct-to-home-video special]] mid-production.

''Zone's'' brief story saw [[Dai Atlas (G1)|Dai Atlas]] and his [[Powered Master|Powered Masters]] do battle with the ghostly [[Violengiguar]] as he commanded [[Nine Great Demon Generals|pretty much every big ticket item from the past five years]] in a desperate all-out attempt to sell kids on the new heroes in twenty minutes and change

'''When nine of the most powerful Decepticons are gathered together under the rule of Violengiguar, Autobot Powered Master Dai Atlas must step forward to prevent them from acquiring the power of the mystical Zodiac.'''

==Synopsis==
[[File:Victorysaber feminia destruction.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1|If only he were a [[Star Saber (G1)#2005 IDW continuity|hideous zealot]] in this clip.]]

Seeking to conquer the universe, the mysterious, demonic [[Violengiguar]] gathers together the [[Decepticon]]s [[Devastator (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Devastator]], [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]], [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]], [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]], [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]], [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]], [[King Poseidon]], [[Overlord (G1)|Overlord]], and [[Scorponok (G1)|BlackZarak]] as his [[Nine Great Demon Generals]]. To remove the threat the [[Autobot]]s pose to his goal, he has the generals devastate the planet [[Feminia]], drawing the attention of Autobot [[Supreme Commander]] [[Star Saber (G1)|Victory Saber]] and his troops, who arrive to save the planet's populace. Victory Saber saves the life of a young boy named [[Cain]], but is unable to escape the planet's destruction himself and is left missing in action when Feminia explodes.

With the Autobots in disarray following the loss of Victory Saber, Violengiguar charges his generals with obtaining the Autobots' new energy source [[Energon Z]], and the [[Zodiac]], the enigmatic energy force responsible for the creation of the universe, which he intends to fuse together to create the super-energy that will fuel his dreams of conquest.

Meanwhile, Cain and his pet [[Emusa]] are brought to [[Micro|Planet Zone]], the fortified defence base of the Autobot [[Micromaster]]s, where [[Moonradar (G1)|Moonradar]] and [[Rabbicrater]] give him the lowdown on its history. Zone was created by the [[Powered Master]]s, early Transformer pioneers of space, and the [[Zone Base]] is powered by [[Energon Z]]—which makes the planet the next target for the Demon Generals. Overlord, Menasor, Bruticus, and Abominus attack the planet and steal the Energon Z, escaping into space as Moonradar leads the [[Super Car Patrol Team]] and the [[Battle Patrol Team]] in pursuit. Their way is barred by BlackZarak, who impedes their progress with an energy net. The [[Jet Patrol Team]] free their companions, and [[Sunrunner (Zone)|Sunrunner]] tracks the Generals with his radar, discovering that the capsule of Energon Z has been handed off to the other half of the group, who are on their way to Earth.

[[File:EnergonZ.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|"Ha ha, I have stolen the prop from {{w|My Science Project}}!"]]

Back on Zone, as the [[Rescue Patrol Team]] cleans up, the Powered Masters [[Dai Atlas (G1)|Dai Atlas]] and [[Sonic Bomber (G1)|Sonic Bomber]] return from their search for Victory Saber, bringing the wounded commander back safely. The two Powered Masters briefly watch over Victory Saber in the infirmary, then set out for Earth, where Devastator, King Poseidon, Trypticon, and Predaking are already wreaking havoc. The Micromasters, meanwhile, have already arrived on the planet, just in time to save a young boy named [[Akira Serikawa|Akira]], who... ''befriends''... Cain as the Micromasters do the best they can to hold off the Generals. In the nick of time, Dai Atlas and Sonic Bomber arrive, and the battle goes underground as Devastator and Dai Atlas race to find the Zodiac, buried in a cavern beneath the Earth's surface. As Devastator is dispatched by a river of lava, King Poseidon attempts to escape with the Zodiac, but is stopped by Sonic Bomber, and tosses it to his fellow Generals. Dai Atlas is able to snatch it from their grasp, but the enraged Trypticon then unleashes a beam of Energon Z from the capsule directly at him. Sonic Bomber valiantly takes the hit for Dai Atlas and is nearly killed by the beam, but Trypticon simply fires off another shot. In desperation, Dai Atlas holds aloft the Zodiac and petitions it for help, and as the Energon Z washes over it, its power is unleashed. Dai Atlas and Sonic Bomber are transformed into "Zone Modes", heavily armed base forms that dispense with King Poseidon and Trypticon. Attempting to flee, Predaking is cleaved in two by Dai Atlas's Zone Sword Cutter attack, and the Zodiac is retrieved.

[[File:CainAkiraPetals.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|And as the cherry blossoms lowered, so did our expectations.]]

The Autobots, Cain and Akira then discuss the nature of the Zodiac amongst themselves, with Akira revealing that he learned about the existence of Zodiac from [[Professor Serikawa|his father]], but he wants to know more about space and the Transformers. Conversely, Cain and Moonradar want to learn about Earth, and they all agree to teach each other about their respective subjects. Emusa then invites Akira to Zone, and Dai Atlas approves; Akira is ecstatic, but stops to pull something from his backpack—he presents Cain and Emusa with some flowers, and wants to bring plenty along for the trip!

Returning to Zone, Victory Saber appoints Dai Atlas as the new Supreme Commander of the Autobots. The flying Emusa throws a bouquet into the air that falls apart, and as the petals rain down on the laughing boys and nearby Autobots, the crowd cheers Dai Atlas's name.

==Quotes==
"The Autobots' Supreme Commander, [[Star Saber (G1)|Victory Saber]], has vanished into space like dust." 
"[The Nine Demon Generals cheer]" 
"I shall take control over the entire universe to create a Decepticon Zone!" 
"[The Nine Demon Generals cheer again]" 
"[Changes face] Find the Super Energy that is needed." 
"[Changes face again] And retrieve it by any means necessary!"
:—'''Violengiguar's''' only speaking lines.

==Notes==
*Opening song is "[[Transformer Z no Theme]]" and ending song is "[[Ashita no Kimi e]]".
*The episode was produced by [[Kenji Yokoyama]], who also produced ''[[Transformers: The Headmasters (cartoon)|Transformers: Headmasters]]''.
*The fictional timeframe of ''Zone'' is not given, but presumably the story transpires between ''Victory'' in [[2025]]<ref>The timeframe of the ''Victory'' anime was never specified within the series itself, but it must have been published in something which eventually informed the ''Kiss Players'' timeline in the real-life 2007 to specify the fictional 2025.</ref> and ''Return of Convoy'' in [[2031]].<ref>Likewise, contemporary ''Return of Convoy'' material never gave a date, but decades later in real life, [[The Road to Legends' Revival Chapter 5: LG-EX Big Powered Prologue Part Two|a chapter]] of the ''Legends'' online manga would identify Star Convoy as returning to life in 2031.</ref>

===Animation or technical glitches===
* In what can only be explained as the result of ''extremely'' poor referencing, Predaking's face has been distorted into an unrecognizable monstrosity, with the two front ridges on his head misinterpreted as "eyes" protruding out from a flat gray surface, and the mouthplate turned into a series of ridges forming a duck-like mouth.
*When Devastator goes underground after trying to attack Dai Atlas from behind, the part of his cape on his shoulders is colored green instead of purple.

===Continuity notes===
*During Dai Atlas's coronation, [[Grand Maximus]], the [[Godmaster (lifeform)|Godmaster]]s, [[Metalhawk (G1)|Metalhawk]], [[Lander]], [[Road Caesar]], and [[Landcross (G1)|Landcross]] can be seen at Star Saber's side.

===Transformers references===
*The Transformers previously visited Planet Feminia in [[The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers issue 5|issue #5]] of the 1986 manga, ''[[The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers]]''. [[Kup (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Kup]] also mentioned it in "[[Birth of the Fantastic Double Prime]]".
*Planet Zone is an overhauled, upgraded version of [[Micro]], seen previously in the ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory (cartoon)|Victory]]'' animated series.
*The core of the Zone Base, referred to as the "Rocket Base" in the toyline and ''[[TV Magazine]]'' spreads, is identical to the Shuttle Base from ''Victory''. While it is unclear if the Shuttle Base and the Rocket Base were originally intended to be the same structure, ''[[Transformers: The Ark II|The Ark II]]'' has declared them to be so.
*The [[Hot House (facility)|fire station]], [[Gasoline Base|gas station]], [[Airwave (facility)|airport]], and [[Ironworks (facility)|construction station]] Micromaster Bases belonging to [[Hot House (Micromaster)|Hot House]], [[Glasspit]], [[Overair (Micromaster)|Overair]], and [[Ironworks (Micromaster)|Ironworks]], respectively, all appear as part of the Zone Base, although their Micromaster owners do not.
*Devastator got [[Heavy Metal War|soaked by hot lava once again.]]

===Trivia===
[[File:ZoneOPCreatures.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|What the hell?]]
*According to an interview featured in ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: The Comics]]'', ''Zone'' was to receive a second episode in the form of a TV special. However, production was cancelled due to unspecified circumstances (likely declining interest in the ''Transformers'' brand, a factor that brought about the end of the American toyline the same year ''Zone'' was released), making "Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!" the only episode of ''Zone'' to be animated.
*Although [[Misconceptions and urban legends about Transformers|rumors]] have always circulated that as many as five could have been completed, only this first episode was released, and serves as the final animated installment of the Japanese ''Generation 1'' cartoon.
*The episode is an adaptation of the single chapter of ''Zone'' [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (manga)|manga]], or perhaps vice-versa—the manga was released three months before the OVA, although it's not totally clear which media the story was first conceived for. There are some small differences between the anime and the manga: most notably, in the manga, Predaking is blasted by Dai Atlas and Sonic Bomber's Zone Modes along with King Poseidon and Trypticon, while the anime sees him make a run for it and wind up getting bisected. [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)|Story pages]] in ''[[TV Magazine]]'' would later establish that all three generals survived the Zone Mode blast in the manga, whereas they rather definitively died in the anime. As such, the story pages are, in the strictest sense, not in-continuity with the anime, although the official 2007 [[Japanese Generation 1 cartoon timeline|timeline]] established that their events, in broad strokes, also occurred in animated continuity.
*The ''Zone'' VHS came packaged with the [[exclusive]] figure, [[Rabbicrater]].
*The ''Zone'' [[title sequence]] features Sonic Bomber fighting a strange blue winged creature and Dai Atlas fighting a huge pink bear-esque creature, both of which end up destroyed by the Autobots. Just who or ''what'' these things are is never explained in any contemporary ''Zone'' fiction, but later fiction would call them the "[[new beast warrior]]s" and explain their origin.
*Four complete Micromaster teams appear in this episode: the [[Rescue Patrol Team]], the [[Battle Patrol Team]], the [[Jet Patrol Team]], and the [[Super Car Patrol Team]]. The latter two use the molds from the [[Air Strike Patrol]] and the [[Sports Car Patrol]], who were Decepticons in the West.
*Only three members of the [[Race Car Patrol|Race Car Patrol Team]] appear in this episode—in cameos from behind, nonetheless. The missing member is [[Free Wheeler]], who can briefly be spotted in the opening sequence.
[[File:CainAkiraBlush.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.1|Beating [[Chromedome_(G1)/2005_IDW_continuity|Chromedome]] and [[Rewind_(G1)/2005_IDW_continuity|Rewind]] by 22 years.]]
*While it's never outright drawn explicit attention to, the subtext between Cain and Akira is not exactly hard to miss, between the lingering shot of them blushing after Akira falls back into Cain's arms, or the credits sequence depicting them running through a field and watching the sunrise together. Exactly ''what'' motivated this direction is unknown, but there's at least a decent chance of it being tied to director [[Hiromichi Matano]]'s past work on ''{{w|Saint Seiya}}'', a franchise famous for its strong ''boy's love'' following, and which Cain's design is pretty obviously modeled in reference to. Another possibility is that Akira may have originally been intended as a girl, given that the character is never referred to with gendered pronouns in the OVA or story pages, and the incredibly feminine design used by [[Ban Magami]] in the latter.
*Devastator pretty unambiguously plows through the [[World Trade Center]]. Unfortunately [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 cartoon)#Production|not the last time]] an attack on New York would age poorly in a Transformers cartoon.
*As Predaking's freshly sliced halves separate, what appears to be [[:File:PredaBrain1.jpg|an organic brain]] is briefly visible inside. Which is odd.
*Much like the "[[Scramble City: Mobilization|Scramble City]]" OVA, [[Shout! Factory]] was outright denied the distribution license for the ''Zone'' OVA in the United States by co-producers [[Toei Animation|Toei]]. Precisely why Toei would not permit the OVA to be released in the United States has never been made public.
*An unofficial fansubbed version of the OVA was included as part of [[Metrodome]]'s "Complete Takara Collection" DVD set, with commentary by [[Chris McFeely]].
*It may look like an error during Victory Saber's repair operation, where his battle helmet is blue, but everything that is red is consistently blue under the repair screen. Close ups on Victory Saber's battle helmet have the regular red helmet.
*Despite being a robot, Star Saber gets an IV drip and a nice comfy pillow to rest his head on while recovering in the med-bay.

Talk:Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!

I thought the energy-net deal was only in the manga. Granted, it's been a lonnnnng time since I saw my shitty eighth-generation copy of Zone, but I'd think I'd remember Black Zarak doing anything at all. 
Also, good LORD are Kain and Akira gay. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 00:00, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
:No, he's in there, doing that with the thing. I've had to watch it like four times in the last week, I oughtta know. /:)
:Also, fierce gay.
:On a more serious note, for the whole of this article, you'll note I've used the Japanese names for the Micromasters. I'mmmm... not entirely sure how "correct" this is in some cases. I mean, for the Jet Team and the Super Car Team, yes, obviously, they need to be used to distinguish from the fact they're Decepticons for Hasbro and Autobots for Takara, and the same probably applies to the Battle Team on account of them being different colors, but in the case of, say, the Race Team or Moonradar, who are visually just the same as their American counterparts (Road Handler's name didn't even change), I dunno what way we want to go. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 00:05, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

::I've been off-and-on thinking about that too. I'm not really sure how I feel about the issue. I think for sheer consistency's sake, we ''might'' want to consider them all new (it's how we've handled them so far, see [[Holi]] and company)... but then that would spill over into Op-Comb, where near as I can tell, every last damn Micro is visually identical to their Hasbro counterpart, and 90% of them even have the same damn names. (I think only the Hot Rod Patrol got new names.) Granted, this merely means a buttload of new very short pages since near as I can tell most of the Micros never even show up ANYWHERE... at least it won't be a ''lot'' of work. A simple article template for the lot of 'em. 
::Though... The Race Track Patrol, the ONLY Decepticon Micro Team to stay badguys... hm. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 00:16, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

It has also been brought to my attention that "Saint Seiya" came out and was big around then in Japan. Maybe that show's unrelenting gayness inspired Takara to make a desperate grab at popularity to salvage a dying franchise? (Gee, Takara using shameless sexuality attached to prepubescence to bolster a dying TF line? WHODATHUNKIT.) --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 00:27, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

I was just about to go in and change the team names m'self, only I was going to make 'em like: [Rescue Patrol Team|Rescue Team], since "(Blank) Team" is how they're always referred to in animation, despite their toys being "(Blank) Patrol Team". Thoughts? - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 23:07, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
:Uh... taffy is delicious?
:Frankly, I don't think I could care either way. I suppose we oughtta get to the two Rescue pages... the only Autobot Micromaster team I think there's a good case for keeping separate. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 23:33, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

==Mainpic==
Is it just me or does the mainpic of the article not work? I can't see it, neither in Firefox nor IE. I can only see it if I click on it and watch it separately. But the "code" looks right to me. --[[User:2A6|2A6]] 17:24, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
:Yeah, it's not working for some reason. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 17:38, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

==Roadfire==
Where is Roadfire? Did the writers forget him? {{unsigned|Tylerwu}} 10:37, 10 May 2021 (EDT)
:No. His toy wasn't out yet at the time. --[[User:Sabrblade|Sabrblade]] ([[User talk:Sabrblade|talk]]) 15:09, 10 May 2021 (EDT)

Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)

Cgenro: /* Featured characters */

{{nav-zone}}

The majority of the '''''[[Transformers: Zone (franchise)|Transformers: Zone]]''''' (トランスフォーマーZ) fiction was told through a series of [[story page]]s published in [[TV Magazine]]. The series ran from February, 1990 to January, 1991. The story pages were illustrated by [[Ban Magami]], who also illustrated the [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (manga)|Zone manga]], and written by [[Masumi Kaneda]].

They follow the adventures of the [[Micromaster]]s and [[Powered Master]]s as they fight off the attacks of [[Violengiguar]] and the [[Nine Great Demon Generals]], who are seeking the [[Zodiac]] energy. This iteration of the story is notable for covering events occurring both before and after the [[Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!|single direct-to-video episode of ''Zone'']], including the introduction of [[Roadfire]], the third Powered Master, as well as [[Metrotitan (G1)|Metrotitan]], a new Decepticon headliner.

Due to some discrepancies between the animated cartoon and the larger story told in the story pages and manga (for instance, Predaking is shown to survive his clash with Dai Atlas in the manga and reappears in later story pages, whereas in the cartoon, he was rather graphically destroyed), the story pages are not, in the very strictest sense, part of the larger [[Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity|animated continuity]]. Takara's [[Japanese Generation 1 cartoon timeline|2007 Transformers timeline]], however, made it clear that their events did occur in animated continuity, at least in broad strokes.

==TV Magazine==
===Issues===
====Part 1====
[[File:TVMJuly1990Mashougun.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|right]]

:'''Published''': February, 1990

:'''"The Autobot Z-Project Begins!"'''

In order to protect their latest scientific achievement, [[Energon Z]], [[Star Saber (G1)|Victory Saber]] initiates the "Zone Project". With the help of the [[Micromaster]] [[Race Car Patrol|Race Car Patrol Team]], [[Off Road Patrol|Off Road Patrol Team]], [[Battle Patrol Team]], [[Rescue Patrol Team]], [[Jet Patrol Team]], and [[Super Car Patrol Team]], planet [[Micro]] is upgraded, reinforced, and transformed into the new planet called Zone.

:'''"This is the World of ''Transformers: Zone''!"'''

To counter the threat of the Autobot Zone, the [[Decepticon]]s have begun conquering multiple planets in order to create a [[Decepticon Zone]]. [[Moonradar (G1)|Moonradar]] launches [[Galaxy Shuttle]] and [[Galaxy Rocket]] from the [[Rocket Base]] in order to patrol the universe. Each Micromaster patrol team is deployed to a planet which suits their unique special abilities. For instance, the Off Road Patrol Team is deployed to a rocky, mountainous planet. Meanwhile, rumors abound that the Autobot Zone may not be commanded by Victory Saber, but by a ''new'' Autobot [[Supreme Commander]]!

Elsewhere, the mysterious and enigmatic [[Violengiguar]], the new Decepticon [[Emperor of Destruction|Emperor]], has gathered together his [[Nine Great Demon Generals]]: [[Overlord (G1)|Overlord]], [[Scorponok (G1)|BlackZarak]], [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]], [[King Poseidon]], [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]], [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]], [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]], and [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]].

====Part 2====
:'''Published:''' March, 1990

:'''"Micro Warriors Into Action!"'''

The Decepticon Flame General Bruticus attacks planet [[Feminia]]. The Super Car Patrol Team, Rescue Patrol Team, and Battle Patrol Team respond to the threat and engage Bruticus in battle. With the help of Galaxy Rocket and Moonradar, they defeat him.

The process of Patrol Team deployment is explained thoroughly. From [[Victory (planet)|Planet V]], Victory Saber is alerted to the emergency and issues a command to Galaxy Shuttle on Planet Zone. Galaxy Shuttle then selects a Micromaster Patrol Team best suited to the environment and they are launched from the Rocket Base via Galaxy Rocket.

:'''"Secrets of the 3 Micro Teams and Rocket Base!"'''

Each member of the Rescue Patrol Team, the Super Car Patrol Team, and the Battle Patrol Team is introduced. Rocket Base is the heart of planet Zone and the Autobots' main command center. It can transform into a launchpad for Galaxy Shuttle and a battle station to fend off attacks.

====Part 3====

:'''Published''': April, 1990

:'''"Autobots Battle on the Water Planet!"'''

On the ocean-covered world of [[Wall]], Oceanic Fish General King Poseidon and Dinosaur General Trypticon attack. Victory Saber charges into battle, but is quickly overwhelmed. [[Overload (G1)|Overload]], [[Erector (G1)|Erector]], [[Missile Bull]], and [[Skywave]], commanding the Off Road, Jet and Race Car Patrol Teams, arrive in time to save the drowning citizens of Wall, rescue Victory Saber and beat back the Decepticons.

:'''"The 3 Teams and 4 Commanders That Beat the Decepticons!"'''

The three commanders are introduced alongside each member of the Off Road Patrol Team, Jet Patrol Team and Race Car Patrol Team.

=====''Zone'' comic=====

Included in a special booklet in the April 1990 issue of TV Magazine, was the ''Transformers Zone'' [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (manga)|manga]], taking place between these two story pages. Three months later, a [[Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!|direct-to-video cartoon]] was released featuring a slightly different version of the manga's story.

====Part 4====

:'''Published:''' May, 1990

:'''"Debut of the New Autobot Supreme Commander!"'''

[[Dai Atlas (G1)|Dai Atlas]] and his Deputy Commander, [[Sonic Bomber (G1)|Sonic Bomber]], introduce themselves. They are both [[Powered Master]]s and are in charge of "advancing development and culture across the universe". ''Okay''. The Powered Masters have gathered from the far reaches of the universe to strike down the new Decepticon threat: Violengiguar.

:'''"Dai Atlas Carried Out Operation Z!"'''

With Dai Atlas' help, the reformatting of Micro into Zone has been fully completed. With his mind able to rest at ease, Victory Saber gracefully passes on the mantle of Supreme Commander to Dai Atlas. Zone is now outfitted with numerous bases, including [[Sky Hyper]], commanded by [[Deadwheeler]], and [[Landshaker]], commanded by [[Gunrunner (Zone)|Gunrunner]]. There are also stations all across Zone, including the [[Gasoline Base]], commanded by [[Glasspit]], the [[Hot House (facility)|Fire Base]], commanded by [[Hot House (Micromaster)|Hot House]], the [[Ironworks (facility)|Build Base]], commanded by [[Ironworks (Micromaster)|Ironworks]], and the [[Overair (facility)|Airport Base]], commanded by [[Overair (Micromaster)|Overair]].

====Part 5====

:'''Published:''' June, 1990

:'''"Protect the Universe, Dai Atlas and Zone Base!"'''

The Micromasters of Zone have had their morale increased dramatically by the inauguration of Dai Atlas as Supreme Commander. Under his leadership, they deploy to battle with a newer, greater resolve. The abilities of both Dai Atlas and Sonic Bomber are expanded upon, as is the role of the Micromasters. The Micromasters exist as protectors of nature and beauty. They wish to live hand-in-hand with organic life.

:'''"Dai Atlas' Friendship is his Strategy!"'''

Evil Spirit General BlackZarak wages an assault on [[Earth]]. Landshaker and Sky Hyper rush into battle but are quickly defeated and at the Decepticons' mercy. Fearing for the lives of their friends, Dai Atlas and Sonic Bomber take BlackZarak on; their concern for their friends driving them to victory. Dai Atlas' four different modes are then introduced in detail.

====Part 6====

:'''Published:''' July, 1990

:'''"Burst! Two Heroes' Powered Action!"'''

Dai Atlas and Sonic Bomber take on Dinosaur General Trypticon and Super-God General Overlord. Confident, they intend to end the battle within eight seconds. Sonic Bomber defeats Trypticon with his "Meteor Drop" attack: head-butting the Decepticon with the pointy thing on his head. Dai Atlas defeats Overlord, the strongest of the Generals, with his "Galactic Dash": using the treads on his feet, Dai Atlas spins around Overlord until his foe is off-balance, then strikes him with a "Dash Punch".

:'''"The Two Heroes Combine! This is Sky Powered"'''

Thanks to the "unity of their spirit of friendship", Dai Atlas and Sonic Bomber can combine to form the mighty [[Sky Powered]]. Able to move at speeds up to Mach 17, they know no fear in battle. Beast General Predaking, an expert in aerial battles, attempts to best Sky Powered but is defeated with ease.

A large advert for the ''Zone'' OVA is also shown.

====Part 7====

:'''Published:''' August, 1990

:'''"Out at Last! All About the OVA"'''

The events of the ''Zone'' OVA are covered extensively, introducing new characters [[Rabbicrater]], [[Cain]], [[Emusa]], and [[Akira Serikawa]]. The mysterious Violengiguar is revealed in more detail, though his true form remains unknown.

:'''"Dai Atlas' Rival Metrotitan Emerges!"'''

[[Metrotitan (G1)|Metrotitan]], created beneath the surface of [[Titan (moon)|Titan]] to be Dai Atlas' equal, has finally been unleashed. He has been schooled in the ways of evil by the Nine Great Demon Generals and, accompanied by the [[Metrosquad]], he intends to destroy the Lunar Zone Base commanded by Rabbicrater.

====Part 8====

:'''Published:''' September, 1990

:'''"Metrotitan Attacks Zone City!"'''

Cain, Akira, Emusa, Rabbicrater, and Sonic Bomber are stationed on the Lunar Zone Base on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]] when Metrotitan attacks. An SOS is sent to Dai Atlas, who rushes to their aid. Metrotitan destroys Galaxy Shuttle, though Cain, Emusa, and Akira escape inside Rabbicrater's [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]]. Meanwhile, the Metrosquad keep Sonic Bomber occupied. Finally, when all hope seems lost, Dai Atlas arrives to do battle with his Decepticon rival.

:'''"Face Off: Dai Atlas Vs. Metrotitan"'''

Dai Atlas' abilities and specifications are given even greater detail and his son, [[Speeder]], is introduced. Metrotitan's stats are revealed and although he falls six points short of Dai Atlas', the Metrosquad gives him the boost he needs to defeat the Autobot.

====Part 9====
[[File:Roadfire1.jpg|right|upright=1.95|thumb]]
:'''Published:''' October, 1990

:'''"New Hero Roadfire Emerges!"'''

Cain, Emusa, Akira, and all of the Lunar Zone Base are being frozen solid thanks to Metrotitan's Freeze Beam Gun. The attack even freezes the mighty Sky Powered. Suddenly, from the direction of the [[Sun]], [[Roadfire]] the third Powered Master bursts onto the scene. With a single blow from his "Fire Kick", Roadfire instantly defeats Metrotitan and destroys the Freeze Beam Gun. Dai Atlas and Sonic Bomber recover and gleefully welcome Roadfire into their ranks.

Roadfire's personality, transformation, and special abilities are detailed.

:'''"The Latest Micro-Transformer Info"'''

The members of the Autobot [[Construction Patrol|Build Patrol Team]] and the [[Air Patrol|Sky Patrol Team]] team are introduced. But the Decepticons are not without their own Micromasters, as the [[Race Track Patrol|Race Track Patrol Team]] are introduced.

====Part 10====
[[File:ViolenJigerFullbody.jpg|right|upright=1.67|thumb]]
:'''Published:''' November, 1990

:'''"The Mightiest Decepticon Emperor, Violengiguar, Emerges!"'''

Violengiguar has at last emerged from the shadows to attack the Earth. He intends to steal the [[Zodiac]] for his own evil ends. Violengiguar is a strange creature, given life on the mysterious [[Tenth Planet]]. Dai Atlas combines his Magna Shot with Sonic Bomber's Vulcan Shot and Roadfire's Iron Barger to create the "Triple Powered Attack". This attack fails to defeat Violengiguar, who steals the Zodiac. Violengiguar then takes Galaxy Rocket, containing Cain, Emusa, Akira and Moonradar, hostage and escapes into space. The Powered Masters decide to combine into [[Big Powered]] and give chase.

:'''"Triple Combination Big Powered in Pursuit!"'''

Big Powered is a Hell of a space cruiser, able to reach atmospheric speeds of 9999 powered knots (whatever ''those'' are) and space speeds fast enough to orbit the Earth 8.5 times in one second. As a matter of fact, Big Powered moves '''so''' fast, it can create a rainbow in outer space.

That's right. I said it.

Big Powered also sports command chairs for Speeder, [[Sonic (G1)|Sonic]] and [[Drillbuster]]. With Big Powered in pursuit of Violengiguar, the Micromasters take command of the Zone Base in their Commander's absence, ensuring its safety.

====Part 11====

:'''Published:''' December, 1990

:'''"Supreme Commander Dai Atlas’ Full Power Unveiled!"'''

With the final confrontation between the Autobots and the Decepticons looming on the horizon, Dai Atlas has upgraded himself to be even '''more''' powerful. His Magna Shot, Z Powered Cutter, and Tank Mode have all been enhanced, as have his three Powered combinations: Sky Powered, [[Land Powered]] and Big Powered.

:'''"Explode! Final Blade! Double Powered Cutter!"'''

The Powered Masters chase Violengiguar to the Tenth Planet. There, Violengiguar splits into his three monstrous insect forms: '''Vion''', '''Lenger''', and '''Iguarn'''. Sonic Bomber takes on Iguarn in the air, Roadfire takes on Lenger on the surface, and Dai Atlas battles Vion with his Powered Cutters in both arms. They succeed in defeating and destroying all three components of Violengiguar and regain the Zodiac, yet the battle is still not won...

====Part 12====
[[File:Zone12FinalPage.jpg|right|upright=1.1|thumb]]
:'''Published:''' January, 1991

:'''"The Powered Masters’ Final Battle!"'''

Violengiguar is not through yet! His body destroyed, he reveals his true form: that of a mighty phoenix-like monstrosity formed from numerous disembodied Decepticon [[Spark|spirits]]. The Powered Masters then focus their minds and energies with the Zodiac and transform into Big Powered. The Zodiac enhances their strength by thirty times, allowing them to perform the "Powered Rainbow Attack". Blasting straight through Violengiguar while emitting a beautiful rainbow behind them, the Decepticon Emperor is vanquished forever. With the monster dead, the once dark and desolate Tenth Planet is reformed...

:'''"Let’s Build a Peaceful New World!"'''

Thanks to the Zodiac's rainbow, the Tenth Planet has been turned into a lush, beautiful new world, not unlike Earth. Cain and Akira hold hands and run through the flowering meadow together, as they pick flowers with Emusa and put them in their hair (''not subtle!''). The Autobots then vow to turn the Tenth Planet into a peaceful utopia.

:'''"Battlestars Begins!"'''

No sooner has the Decepticon Emperor been destroyed, ''another'' has risen to take his place: [[Dark Nova]]. The Autobots realize that the only one capable of standing up to this new threat is the original, and very ''dead'', [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]]. The [[Battlestars]] [[Sky Garry (G1)|Sky Garry]] and [[Grandus (G1)|Grandus]] are united with a secret mission in mind: Bring back Optimus Prime!

==Other Story Pages==

Two additional [[story page]]s were released via [[catalog]]ues. Having not been released in [[TV Magazine]] with the rest of the ''Zone'' storyline, their canonicity was originally questionable. However, the events of the first catalogue story page were referenced in the [[Japanese Generation 1 cartoon timeline#2025-2030|''Kiss Players'' timeline]], so it would appear that they are. Or at least the ''first'' one is. But while it's in continuity with the ''cartoons'', it's not in continuity with the previous story page and manga continuity, that was
started in [[Transformers: Super-God Masterforce (story page)|the Super-God Masterforce story pages]] and continued in the ''Victory'' manga, which had a happy ending with Deathsaurus living, which this catalogue contradicts. It's all terribly confusing, but it wouldn't be Japanese continuity if it wasn't.

===Catalogue story===
====Page 1====
[[File:DarkEmperorDeathsaurusZone01.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.1]]
:'''"Zone Project Story"'''

[[Deathsaurus (G1)|Deathsaurus]] has been revived as the "[[Emperor of Destruction|Dark Emperor]]". Leading several underlings (including [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]], [[King Poseidon]], and [[Liokaiser]]), he attacks the Micro Zone on planet [[Micro|Zone]] in an attempt to steal its [[Energon Z]]. The [[Micromaster]]s repel his attack and send the Decepticon forces into retreat.

:*This story page takes place between ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory (franchise)|Victory]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Zone (franchise)|Zone]]''. Exactly what happened to Deathsaurus after this defeat or even ''how'' he and Liokaiser were revived from certain death is unknown. Certain specifics, such as Deathsaurus actually ''being'' resurrected and his wanting the Energon Z specifically from the Micro Zone, are only mentioned in the ''Kiss Players'' timeline. In the original story, he's just alive and attacking the Micro Zone for the Hell of it.

====Page 2====

:'''"Zone Story: Birth of the Powered Masters!!"'''

The Nine Demon Generals unite for a full assault on Zone, intending to steal the [[Zodiac]]. Dai Atlas and Sonic Bomber arrive and defeat all nine Generals, though they escape into space. Victory Saber then congratulates Dai Atlas, passing the role of Supreme Commander on to him.

:*Exactly how ''this'' catalogue story page can work into the timeline is uncertain, as it presents a completely alternate explanation for how Victory Saber named Dai Atlas as his successor. It seems far too contradictory to work with the rest of the ''Zone'' story pages.

Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)

2026-01-25T02:36:39Z

Cgenro: /* Featured characters */

{{nav-zone}}

The majority of the '''''[[Transformers: Zone (franchise)|Transformers: Zone]]''''' (トランスフォーマーZ) fiction was told through a series of [[story page]]s published in [[TV Magazine]]. The series ran from February, 1990 to January, 1991. The story pages were illustrated by [[Ban Magami]], who also illustrated the [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (manga)|Zone manga]], and written by [[Masumi Kaneda]].

They follow the adventures of the [[Micromaster]]s and [[Powered Master]]s as they fight off the attacks of [[Violengiguar]] and the [[Nine Great Demon Generals]], who are seeking the [[Zodiac]] energy. This iteration of the story is notable for covering events occurring both before and after the [[Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!|single direct-to-video episode of ''Zone'']], including the introduction of [[Roadfire]], the third Powered Master, as well as [[Metrotitan (G1)|Metrotitan]], a new Decepticon headliner.

Due to some discrepancies between the animated cartoon and the larger story told in the story pages and manga (for instance, Predaking is shown to survive his clash with Dai Atlas in the manga and reappears in later story pages, whereas in the cartoon, he was rather graphically destroyed), the story pages are not, in the very strictest sense, part of the larger [[Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity|animated continuity]]. Takara's [[Japanese Generation 1 cartoon timeline|2007 Transformers timeline]], however, made it clear that their events did occur in animated continuity, at least in broad strokes.

====Part 1====
[[File:TVMJuly1990Mashougun.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|right]]

:'''Published''': February, 1990

:'''"The Autobot Z-Project Begins!"'''

In order to protect their latest scientific achievement, [[Energon Z]], [[Star Saber (G1)|Victory Saber]] initiates the "Zone Project". With the help of the [[Micromaster]] [[Race Car Patrol|Race Car Patrol Team]], [[Off Road Patrol|Off Road Patrol Team]], [[Battle Patrol Team]], [[Rescue Patrol Team]], [[Jet Patrol Team]], and [[Super Car Patrol Team]], planet [[Micro]] is upgraded, reinforced, and transformed into the new planet called Zone.

:'''"This is the World of ''Transformers: Zone''!"'''

To counter the threat of the Autobot Zone, the [[Decepticon]]s have begun conquering multiple planets in order to create a [[Decepticon Zone]]. [[Moonradar (G1)|Moonradar]] launches [[Galaxy Shuttle]] and [[Galaxy Rocket]] from the [[Rocket Base]] in order to patrol the universe. Each Micromaster patrol team is deployed to a planet which suits their unique special abilities. For instance, the Off Road Patrol Team is deployed to a rocky, mountainous planet. Meanwhile, rumors abound that the Autobot Zone may not be commanded by Victory Saber, but by a ''new'' Autobot [[Supreme Commander]]!

Elsewhere, the mysterious and enigmatic [[Violengiguar]], the new Decepticon [[Emperor of Destruction|Emperor]], has gathered together his [[Nine Great Demon Generals]]: [[Overlord (G1)|Overlord]], [[Scorponok (G1)|BlackZarak]], [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]], [[King Poseidon]], [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]], [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]], [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]], and [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]].

:'''"Dai Atlas Carried Out Operation Z!"'''

With Dai Atlas' help, the reformatting of Micro into Zone has been fully completed. With his mind able to rest at ease, Victory Saber gracefully passes on the mantle of Supreme Commander to Dai Atlas. Zone is now outfitted with numerous bases, including [[Sky Hyper]], commanded by [[Deadwheeler]], and [[Landshaker]], commanded by [[Gunrunner (Zone)|Gunrunner]]. There are also stations all across Zone, including the [[Gasoline Base]], commanded by [[Glasspit]], the [[Hot House (facility)|Fire Base]], commanded by [[Hot House (Micromaster)|Hot House]], the [[Ironworks (facility)|Build Base]], commanded by [[Ironworks (Micromaster)|Ironworks]], and the [[Overair (facility)|Airport Base]], commanded by [[Overair (Micromaster)|Overair]].

Evil Spirit General BlackZarak wages an assault on [[Earth]]. Landshaker and Sky Hyper rush into battle but are quickly defeated and at the Decepticons' mercy. Fearing for the lives of their friends, Dai Atlas and Sonic Bomber take BlackZarak on; their concern for their friends driving them to victory. Dai Atlas' four different modes are then introduced in detail.

:'''"The Two Heroes Combine! This is Sky Powered"'''

Thanks to the "unity of their spirit of friendship", Dai Atlas and Sonic Bomber can combine to form the mighty [[Sky Powered]]. Able to move at speeds up to Mach 17, they know no fear in battle.

A large advert for the ''Zone'' OVA is also shown.

:'''Published:''' August, 1990

:'''"Out at Last! All About the OVA"'''

The events of the ''Zone'' OVA are covered extensively, introducing new characters [[Rabbicrater]], [[Cain]], [[Emusa]], and [[Akira Serikawa]]. The mysterious Violengiguar is revealed in more detail, though his true form remains unknown.

[[File:ViolenJigerFullbody.jpg|right|upright=1.67|thumb]]
:'''Published:''' November, 1990

:'''"The Mightiest Decepticon Emperor, Violengiguar, Emerges!"'''

Violengiguar has at last emerged from the shadows to attack the Earth. He intends to steal the [[Zodiac]] for his own evil ends. Violengiguar is a strange creature, given life on the mysterious [[Tenth Planet]]. Dai Atlas combines his Magna Shot with Sonic Bomber's Vulcan Shot and Roadfire's Iron Barger to create the "Triple Powered Attack". This attack fails to defeat Violengiguar, who steals the Zodiac. Violengiguar then takes Galaxy Rocket, containing Cain, Emusa, Akira and Moonradar, hostage and escapes into space. The Powered Masters decide to combine into [[Big Powered]] and give chase.

:'''"Triple Combination Big Powered in Pursuit!"'''

Big Powered is a Hell of a space cruiser, able to reach atmospheric speeds of 9999 powered knots (whatever ''those'' are) and space speeds fast enough to orbit the Earth 8.5 times in one second. As a matter of fact, Big Powered moves '''so''' fast, it can create a rainbow in outer space.

That's right. I said it.

Big Powered also sports command chairs for Speeder, [[Sonic (G1)|Sonic]] and [[Drillbuster]]. With Big Powered in pursuit of Violengiguar, the Micromasters take command of the Zone Base in their Commander's absence, ensuring its safety.

:'''"Explode! Final Blade! Double Powered Cutter!"'''

The Powered Masters chase Violengiguar to the Tenth Planet. There, Violengiguar splits into his three monstrous insect forms: '''Vion''', '''Lenger''', and '''Iguarn'''. Sonic Bomber takes on Iguarn in the air, Roadfire takes on Lenger on the surface, and Dai Atlas battles Vion with his Powered Cutters in both arms. They succeed in defeating and destroying all three components of Violengiguar and regain the Zodiac, yet the battle is still not won...

[[File:Zone12FinalPage.jpg|right|upright=1.1|thumb]]
:'''Published:''' January, 1991

:'''"The Powered Masters’ Final Battle!"'''

Violengiguar is not through yet! His body destroyed, he reveals his true form: that of a mighty phoenix-like monstrosity formed from numerous disembodied Decepticon [[Spark|spirits]]. The Powered Masters then focus their minds and energies with the Zodiac and transform into Big Powered. The Zodiac enhances their strength by thirty times, allowing them to perform the "Powered Rainbow Attack". Blasting straight through Violengiguar while emitting a beautiful rainbow behind them, the Decepticon Emperor is vanquished forever. With the monster dead, the once dark and desolate Tenth Planet is reformed...

:'''"Let’s Build a Peaceful New World!"'''

Thanks to the Zodiac's rainbow, the Tenth Planet has been turned into a lush, beautiful new world, not unlike Earth. Cain and Akira hold hands and run through the flowering meadow together, as they pick flowers with Emusa and put them in their hair (''not subtle!''). The Autobots then vow to turn the Tenth Planet into a peaceful utopia.

:'''"Battlestars Begins!"'''

No sooner has the Decepticon Emperor been destroyed, ''another'' has risen to take his place: [[Dark Nova]]. The Autobots realize that the only one capable of standing up to this new threat is the original, and very ''dead'', [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]]. The [[Battlestars]] [[Sky Garry (G1)|Sky Garry]] and [[Grandus (G1)|Grandus]] are united with a secret mission in mind: Bring back Optimus Prime!

==Other Story Pages==

Two additional [[story page]]s were released via [[catalog]]ues. Having not been released in [[TV Magazine]] with the rest of the ''Zone'' storyline, their canonicity was originally questionable. However, the events of the first catalogue story page were referenced in the [[Japanese Generation 1 cartoon timeline#2025-2030|''Kiss Players'' timeline]], so it would appear that they are. Or at least the ''first'' one is. But while it's in continuity with the ''cartoons'', it's not in continuity with the previous story page and manga continuity, that was

[[File:DarkEmperorDeathsaurusZone01.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.1]]
:'''"Zone Project Story"'''

[[Deathsaurus (G1)|Deathsaurus]] has been revived as the "[[Emperor of Destruction|Dark Emperor]]". Leading several underlings (including [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]], [[King Poseidon]], and [[Liokaiser]]), he attacks the Micro Zone on planet [[Micro|Zone]] in an attempt to steal its [[Energon Z]].

Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)

2026-01-25T02:35:40Z

Cgenro: /* Featured characters */

{{nav-zone}}

The majority of the '''''[[Transformers: Zone (franchise)|Transformers: Zone]]''''' (トランスフォーマーZ) fiction was told through a series of [[story page]]s published in [[TV Magazine]]. The series ran from February, 1990 to January, 1991. The story pages were illustrated by [[Ban Magami]], who also illustrated the [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (manga)|Zone manga]], and written by [[Masumi Kaneda]].

They follow the adventures of the [[Micromaster]]s and [[Powered Master]]s as they fight off the attacks of [[Violengiguar]] and the [[Nine Great Demon Generals]], who are seeking the [[Zodiac]] energy. This iteration of the story is notable for covering events occurring both before and after the [[Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!|single direct-to-video episode of ''Zone'']], including the introduction of [[Roadfire]], the third Powered Master, as well as [[Metrotitan (G1)|Metrotitan]], a new Decepticon headliner.

Due to some discrepancies between the animated cartoon and the larger story told in the story pages and manga (for instance, Predaking is shown to survive his clash with Dai Atlas in the manga and reappears in later story pages, whereas in the cartoon, he was rather graphically destroyed), the story pages are not, in the very strictest sense, part of the larger [[Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity|animated continuity]]. Takara's [[Japanese Generation 1 cartoon timeline|2007 Transformers timeline]], however, made it clear that their events did occur in animated continuity, at least in broad strokes.

===Issues===
====Part 1====
[[File:TVMJuly1990Mashougun.jpg|thumb|upright=1.67|right]]

:'''Published''': February, 1990

:'''"The Autobot Z-Project Begins!"'''

In order to protect their latest scientific achievement, [[Energon Z]], [[Star Saber (G1)|Victory Saber]] initiates the "Zone Project". With the help of the [[Micromaster]] [[Race Car Patrol|Race Car Patrol Team]], [[Off Road Patrol|Off Road Patrol Team]], [[Battle Patrol Team]], [[Rescue Patrol Team]], [[Jet Patrol Team]], and [[Super Car Patrol Team]], planet [[Micro]] is upgraded, reinforced, and transformed into the new planet called Zone.

:'''"This is the World of ''Transformers: Zone''!"'''

To counter the threat of the Autobot Zone, the [[Decepticon]]s have begun conquering multiple planets in order to create a [[Decepticon Zone]]. [[Moonradar (G1)|Moonradar]] launches [[Galaxy Shuttle]] and [[Galaxy Rocket]] from the [[Rocket Base]] in order to patrol the universe. Each Micromaster patrol team is deployed to a planet which suits their unique special abilities. For instance, the Off Road Patrol Team is deployed to a rocky, mountainous planet. Meanwhile, rumors abound that the Autobot Zone may not be commanded by Victory Saber, but by a ''new'' Autobot [[Supreme Commander]]!

Elsewhere, the mysterious and enigmatic [[Violengiguar]], the new Decepticon [[Emperor of Destruction|Emperor]], has gathered together his [[Nine Great Demon Generals]]: [[Overlord (G1)|Overlord]], [[Scorponok (G1)|BlackZarak]], [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]], [[King Poseidon]], [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]], [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]], [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]], and [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]].

The Decepticon Flame General Bruticus attacks planet [[Feminia]]. The Super Car Patrol Team, Rescue Patrol Team, and Battle Patrol Team respond to the threat and engage Bruticus in battle. With the help of Galaxy Rocket and Moonradar, they defeat him.

The process of Patrol Team deployment is explained thoroughly. From [[Victory (planet)|Planet V]], Victory Saber is alerted to the emergency and issues a command to Galaxy Shuttle on Planet Zone. Galaxy Shuttle then selects a Micromaster Patrol Team best suited to the environment and they are launched from the Rocket Base via Galaxy Rocket.

:'''"Secrets of the 3 Micro Teams and Rocket Base!"'''

Each member of the Rescue Patrol Team, the Super Car Patrol Team, and the Battle Patrol Team is introduced. Rocket Base is the heart of planet Zone and the Autobots' main command center. It can transform into a launchpad for Galaxy Shuttle and a battle station to fend off attacks.

====Part 3====

:'''Published''': April, 1990

:'''"Autobots Battle on the Water Planet!"'''

On the ocean-covered world of [[Wall]], Oceanic Fish General King Poseidon and Dinosaur General Trypticon attack. Victory Saber charges into battle, but is quickly overwhelmed. [[Overload (G1)|Overload]], [[Erector (G1)|Erector]], [[Missile Bull]], and [[Skywave]], commanding the Off Road, Jet and Race Car Patrol Teams, arrive in time to save the drowning citizens of Wall, rescue Victory Saber and beat back the Decepticons.

:'''"The 3 Teams and 4 Commanders That Beat the Decepticons!"'''

The three commanders are introduced alongside each member of the Off Road Patrol Team, Jet Patrol Team and Race Car Patrol Team.

=====''Zone'' comic=====

Included in a special booklet in the April 1990 issue of TV Magazine, was the ''Transformers Zone'' [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (manga)|manga]], taking place between these two story pages. Three months later, a [[Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!|direct-to-video cartoon]] was released featuring a slightly different version of the manga's story.

====Part 4====

:'''Published:''' May, 1990

:'''"Debut of the New Autobot Supreme Commander!"'''

[[Dai Atlas (G1)|Dai Atlas]] and his Deputy Commander, [[Sonic Bomber (G1)|Sonic Bomber]], introduce themselves. They are both [[Powered Master]]s and are in charge of "advancing development and culture across the universe". ''Okay''. The Powered Masters have gathered from the far reaches of the universe to strike down the new Decepticon threat: Violengiguar.

:'''"Dai Atlas Carried Out Operation Z!"'''

With Dai Atlas' help, the reformatting of Micro into Zone has been fully completed. With his mind able to rest at ease, Victory Saber gracefully passes on the mantle of Supreme Commander to Dai Atlas. Zone is now outfitted with numerous bases, including [[Sky Hyper]], commanded by [[Deadwheeler]], and [[Landshaker]], commanded by [[Gunrunner (Zone)|Gunrunner]]. There are also stations all across Zone, including the [[Gasoline Base]], commanded by [[Glasspit]], the [[Hot House (facility)|Fire Base]], commanded by [[Hot House (Micromaster)|Hot House]], the [[Ironworks (facility)|Build Base]], commanded by [[Ironworks (Micromaster)|Ironworks]], and the [[Overair (facility)|Airport Base]], commanded by [[Overair (Micromaster)|Overair]].

====Part 5====

:'''Published:''' June, 1990

:'''"Protect the Universe, Dai Atlas and Zone Base!"'''

The Micromasters of Zone have had their morale increased dramatically by the inauguration of Dai Atlas as Supreme Commander. Under his leadership, they deploy to battle with a newer, greater resolve. The abilities of both Dai Atlas and Sonic Bomber are expanded upon, as is the role of the Micromasters. The Micromasters exist as protectors of nature and beauty. They wish to live hand-in-hand with organic life.

:'''"Dai Atlas' Friendship is his Strategy!"'''

Evil Spirit General BlackZarak wages an assault on [[Earth]]. Landshaker and Sky Hyper rush into battle but are quickly defeated and at the Decepticons' mercy. Fearing for the lives of their friends, Dai Atlas and Sonic Bomber take BlackZarak on; their concern for their friends driving them to victory. Dai Atlas' four different modes are then introduced in detail.

====Part 6====

:'''Published:''' July, 1990

:'''"Burst! Two Heroes' Powered Action!"'''

Dai Atlas and Sonic Bomber take on Dinosaur General Trypticon and Super-God General Overlord. Confident, they intend to end the battle within eight seconds. Sonic Bomber defeats Trypticon with his "Meteor Drop" attack: head-butting the Decepticon with the pointy thing on his head. Dai Atlas defeats Overlord, the strongest of the Generals, with his "Galactic Dash": using the treads on his feet, Dai Atlas spins around Overlord until his foe is off-balance, then strikes him with a "Dash Punch".

:'''"The Two Heroes Combine! This is Sky Powered"'''

Thanks to the "unity of their spirit of friendship", Dai Atlas and Sonic Bomber can combine to form the mighty [[Sky Powered]]. Able to move at speeds up to Mach 17, they know no fear in battle. Beast General Predaking, an expert in aerial battles, attempts to best Sky Powered but is defeated with ease.

A large advert for the ''Zone'' OVA is also shown.

====Part 7====

:'''Published:''' August, 1990

:'''"Out at Last! All About the OVA"'''

The events of the ''Zone'' OVA are covered extensively, introducing new characters [[Rabbicrater]], [[Cain]], [[Emusa]], and [[Akira Serikawa]]. The mysterious Violengiguar is revealed in more detail, though his true form remains unknown.

:'''"Dai Atlas' Rival Metrotitan Emerges!"'''

[[Metrotitan (G1)|Metrotitan]], created beneath the surface of [[Titan (moon)|Titan]] to be Dai Atlas' equal, has finally been unleashed. He has been schooled in the ways of evil by the Nine Great Demon Generals and, accompanied by the [[Metrosquad]], he intends to destroy the Lunar Zone Base commanded by Rabbicrater.

====Part 8====

:'''Published:''' September, 1990

:'''"Metrotitan Attacks Zone City!"'''

Cain, Akira, Emusa, Rabbicrater, and Sonic Bomber are stationed on the Lunar Zone Base on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]] when Metrotitan attacks. An SOS is sent to Dai Atlas, who rushes to their aid. Metrotitan destroys Galaxy Shuttle, though Cain, Emusa, and Akira escape inside Rabbicrater's [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]]. Meanwhile, the Metrosquad keep Sonic Bomber occupied. Finally, when all hope seems lost, Dai Atlas arrives to do battle with his Decepticon rival.

:'''"Face Off: Dai Atlas Vs. Metrotitan"'''

Dai Atlas' abilities and specifications are given even greater detail and his son, [[Speeder]], is introduced. Metrotitan's stats are revealed and although he falls six points short of Dai Atlas', the Metrosquad gives him the boost he needs to defeat the Autobot.

====Part 9====
[[File:Roadfire1.jpg|right|upright=1.95|thumb]]
:'''Published:''' October, 1990

:'''"New Hero Roadfire Emerges!"'''

Cain, Emusa, Akira, and all of the Lunar Zone Base are being frozen solid thanks to Metrotitan's Freeze Beam Gun. The attack even freezes the mighty Sky Powered. Suddenly, from the direction of the [[Sun]], [[Roadfire]] the third Powered Master bursts onto the scene. With a single blow from his "Fire Kick", Roadfire instantly defeats Metrotitan and destroys the Freeze Beam Gun. Dai Atlas and Sonic Bomber recover and gleefully welcome Roadfire into their ranks.

:'''"This is Roadfire's Transformation!"'''

Roadfire's personality, transformation, and special abilities are detailed.

:'''"The Latest Micro-Transformer Info"'''

The members of the Autobot [[Construction Patrol|Build Patrol Team]] and the [[Air Patrol|Sky Patrol Team]] team are introduced. But the Decepticons are not without their own Micromasters, as the [[Race Track Patrol|Race Track Patrol Team]] are introduced.

====Part 10====
[[File:ViolenJigerFullbody.jpg|right|upright=1.67|thumb]]
:'''Published:''' November, 1990

:'''"The Mightiest Decepticon Emperor, Violengiguar, Emerges!"'''

Violengiguar has at last emerged from the shadows to attack the Earth. He intends to steal the [[Zodiac]] for his own evil ends. Violengiguar is a strange creature, given life on the mysterious [[Tenth Planet]]. Dai Atlas combines his Magna Shot with Sonic Bomber's Vulcan Shot and Roadfire's Iron Barger to create the "Triple Powered Attack". This attack fails to defeat Violengiguar, who steals the Zodiac. Violengiguar then takes Galaxy Rocket, containing Cain, Emusa, Akira and Moonradar, hostage and escapes into space. The Powered Masters decide to combine into [[Big Powered]] and give chase.

:'''"Triple Combination Big Powered in Pursuit!"'''

Big Powered is a Hell of a space cruiser, able to reach atmospheric speeds of 9999 powered knots (whatever ''those'' are) and space speeds fast enough to orbit the Earth 8.5 times in one second. As a matter of fact, Big Powered moves '''so''' fast, it can create a rainbow in outer space.

That's right. I said it.

Big Powered also sports command chairs for Speeder, [[Sonic (G1)|Sonic]] and [[Drillbuster]]. With Big Powered in pursuit of Violengiguar, the Micromasters take command of the Zone Base in their Commander's absence, ensuring its safety.

====Part 11====

:'''Published:''' December, 1990

:'''"Supreme Commander Dai Atlas’ Full Power Unveiled!"'''

With the final confrontation between the Autobots and the Decepticons looming on the horizon, Dai Atlas has upgraded himself to be even '''more''' powerful. His Magna Shot, Z Powered Cutter, and Tank Mode have all been enhanced, as have his three Powered combinations: Sky Powered, [[Land Powered]] and Big Powered.

:'''"Explode! Final Blade! Double Powered Cutter!"'''

The Powered Masters chase Violengiguar to the Tenth Planet. There, Violengiguar splits into his three monstrous insect forms: '''Vion''', '''Lenger''', and '''Iguarn'''. Sonic Bomber takes on Iguarn in the air, Roadfire takes on Lenger on the surface, and Dai Atlas battles Vion with his Powered Cutters in both arms. They succeed in defeating and destroying all three components of Violengiguar and regain the Zodiac, yet the battle is still not won...

====Part 12====
[[File:Zone12FinalPage.jpg|right|upright=1.1|thumb]]
:'''Published:''' January, 1991

:'''"The Powered Masters’ Final Battle!"'''

Violengiguar is not through yet! His body destroyed, he reveals his true form: that of a mighty phoenix-like monstrosity formed from numerous disembodied Decepticon [[Spark|spirits]]. The Powered Masters then focus their minds and energies with the Zodiac and transform into Big Powered. The Zodiac enhances their strength by thirty times, allowing them to perform the "Powered Rainbow Attack". Blasting straight through Violengiguar while emitting a beautiful rainbow behind them, the Decepticon Emperor is vanquished forever. With the monster dead, the once dark and desolate Tenth Planet is reformed...

:'''"Let’s Build a Peaceful New World!"'''

Thanks to the Zodiac's rainbow, the Tenth Planet has been turned into a lush, beautiful new world, not unlike Earth. Cain and Akira hold hands and run through the flowering meadow together, as they pick flowers with Emusa and put them in their hair (''not subtle!''). The Autobots then vow to turn the Tenth Planet into a peaceful utopia.

:'''"Battlestars Begins!"'''

No sooner has the Decepticon Emperor been destroyed, ''another'' has risen to take his place: [[Dark Nova]]. The Autobots realize that the only one capable of standing up to this new threat is the original, and very ''dead'', [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]]. The [[Battlestars]] [[Sky Garry (G1)|Sky Garry]] and [[Grandus (G1)|Grandus]] are united with a secret mission in mind: Bring back Optimus Prime!

==Other Story Pages==

Two additional [[story page]]s were released via [[catalog]]ues. Having not been released in [[TV Magazine]] with the rest of the ''Zone'' storyline, their canonicity was originally questionable. However, the events of the first catalogue story page were referenced in the [[Japanese Generation 1 cartoon timeline#2025-2030|''Kiss Players'' timeline]], so it would appear that they are. Or at least the ''first'' one is. But while it's in continuity with the ''cartoons'', it's not in continuity with the previous story page and manga continuity, that was
started in [[Transformers: Super-God Masterforce (story page)|the Super-God Masterforce story pages]] and continued in the ''Victory'' manga, which had a happy ending with Deathsaurus living, which this catalogue contradicts. It's all terribly confusing, but it wouldn't be Japanese continuity if it wasn't.

===Catalogue story===
====Page 1====
[[File:DarkEmperorDeathsaurusZone01.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.1]]
:'''"Zone Project Story"'''

[[Deathsaurus (G1)|Deathsaurus]] has been revived as the "[[Emperor of Destruction|Dark Emperor]]". Leading several underlings (including [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]], [[King Poseidon]], and [[Liokaiser]]), he attacks the Micro Zone on planet [[Micro|Zone]] in an attempt to steal its [[Energon Z]]. The [[Micromaster]]s repel his attack and send the Decepticon forces into retreat.

:*This story page takes place between ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory (franchise)|Victory]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Zone (franchise)|Zone]]''. Exactly what happened to Deathsaurus after this defeat or even ''how'' he and Liokaiser were revived from certain death is unknown. Certain specifics, such as Deathsaurus actually ''being'' resurrected and his wanting the Energon Z specifically from the Micro Zone, are only mentioned in the ''Kiss Players'' timeline. In the original story, he's just alive and attacking the Micro Zone for the Hell of it.

====Page 2====

:'''"Zone Story: Birth of the Powered Masters!!"'''

The Nine Demon Generals unite for a full assault on Zone, intending to steal the [[Zodiac]]. Dai Atlas and Sonic Bomber arrive and defeat all nine Generals, though they escape into space. Victory Saber then congratulates Dai Atlas, passing the role of Supreme Commander on to him.

:*Exactly how ''this'' catalogue story page can work into the timeline is uncertain, as it presents a completely alternate explanation for how Victory Saber named Dai Atlas as his successor. It seems far too contradictory to work with the rest of the ''Zone'' story pages.

:'''"The Mightiest Decepticon Emperor, Violengiguar, Emerges!"'''

Violengiguar has at last emerged from the shadows to attack the Earth. He intends to steal the [[Zodiac]] for his own evil ends. Violengiguar is a strange creature, given life on the mysterious [[Tenth Planet]]. Dai Atlas combines his Magna Shot with Sonic Bomber's Vulcan Shot and Roadfire's Iron Barger to create the "Triple Powered Attack". This attack fails to defeat Violengiguar, who steals the Zodiac. Violengiguar then takes Galaxy Rocket, containing Cain, Emusa, Akira and Moonradar, hostage and escapes into space. The Powered Masters decide to combine into [[Big Powered]] and give chase.

:'''"Triple Combination Big Powered in Pursuit!"'''

Big Powered is a Hell of a space cruiser, able to reach atmospheric speeds of 9999 powered knots (whatever ''those'' are) and space speeds fast enough to orbit the Earth 8.5 times in one second. As a matter of fact, Big Powered moves '''so''' fast, it can create a rainbow in outer space.

That's right. I said it.

Big Powered also sports command chairs for Speeder, [[Sonic (G1)|Sonic]] and [[Drillbuster]]. With Big Powered in pursuit of Violengiguar, the Micromasters take command of the Zone Base in their Commander's absence, ensuring its safety.

====Part 11====

:'''Published:''' December, 1990

:'''"Supreme Commander Dai Atlas’ Full Power Unveiled!"'''

With the final confrontation between the Autobots and the Decepticons looming on the horizon, Dai Atlas has upgraded himself to be even '''more''' powerful. His Magna Shot, Z Powered Cutter, and Tank Mode have all been enhanced, as have his three Powered combinations: Sky Powered, [[Land Powered]] and Big Powered.

:'''"Explode! Final Blade! Double Powered Cutter!"'''

The Powered Masters chase Violengiguar to the Tenth Planet. There, Violengiguar splits into his three monstrous insect forms: '''Vion''', '''Lenger''', and '''Iguarn'''. Sonic Bomber takes on Iguarn in the air, Roadfire takes on Lenger on the surface, and Dai Atlas battles Vion with his Powered Cutters in both arms. They succeed in defeating and destroying all three components of Violengiguar and regain the Zodiac, yet the battle is still not won...

====Part 12====
[[File:Zone12FinalPage.jpg|right|upright=1.1|thumb]]
:'''Published:''' January, 1991

:'''"The Powered Masters’ Final Battle!"'''

Violengiguar is not through yet! His body destroyed, he reveals his true form: that of a mighty phoenix-like monstrosity formed from numerous disembodied Decepticon [[Spark|spirits]]. The Powered Masters then focus their minds and energies with the Zodiac and transform into Big Powered. The Zodiac enhances their strength by thirty times, allowing them to perform the "Powered Rainbow Attack". Blasting straight through Violengiguar while emitting a beautiful rainbow behind them, the Decepticon Emperor is vanquished forever. With the monster dead, the once dark and desolate Tenth Planet is reformed...

:'''"Let’s Build a Peaceful New World!"'''

Thanks to the Zodiac's rainbow, the Tenth Planet has been turned into a lush, beautiful new world, not unlike Earth. Cain and Akira hold hands and run through the flowering meadow together, as they pick flowers with Emusa and put them in their hair (''not subtle!''). The Autobots then vow to turn the Tenth Planet into a peaceful utopia.

:'''"Battlestars Begins!"'''

No sooner has the Decepticon Emperor been destroyed, ''another'' has risen to take his place: [[Dark Nova]]. The Autobots realize that the only one capable of standing up to this new threat is the original, and very ''dead'', [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]]. The [[Battlestars]] [[Sky Garry (G1)|Sky Garry]] and [[Grandus (G1)|Grandus]] are united with a secret mission in mind: Bring back Optimus Prime!

==Other Story Pages==

Two additional [[story page]]s were released via [[catalog]]ues. Having not been released in [[TV Magazine]] with the rest of the ''Zone'' storyline, their canonicity was originally questionable. However, the events of the first catalogue story page were referenced in the [[Japanese Generation 1 cartoon timeline#2025-2030|''Kiss Players'' timeline]], so it would appear that they are. Or at least the ''first'' one is. But while it's in continuity with the ''cartoons'', it's not in continuity with the previous story page and manga continuity, that was
started in [[Transformers: Super-God Masterforce (story page)|the Super-God Masterforce story pages]] and continued in the ''Victory'' manga, which had a happy ending with Deathsaurus living, which this catalogue contradicts. It's all terribly confusing, but it wouldn't be Japanese continuity if it wasn't.

===Catalogue story===
====Page 1====
[[File:DarkEmperorDeathsaurusZone01.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.1]]
:'''"Zone Project Story"'''

[[Deathsaurus (G1)|Deathsaurus]] has been revived as the "[[Emperor of Destruction|Dark Emperor]]". Leading several underlings (including [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]], [[King Poseidon]], and [[Liokaiser]]), he attacks the Micro Zone on planet [[Micro|Zone]] in an attempt to steal its [[Energon Z]]. The [[Micromaster]]s repel his attack and send the Decepticon forces into retreat.

:*This story page takes place between ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory (franchise)|Victory]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Zone (franchise)|Zone]]''. Exactly what happened to Deathsaurus after this defeat or even ''how'' he and Liokaiser were revived from certain death is unknown. Certain specifics, such as Deathsaurus actually ''being'' resurrected and his wanting the Energon Z specifically from the Micro Zone, are only mentioned in the ''Kiss Players'' timeline. In the original story, he's just alive and attacking the Micro Zone for the Hell of it.

====Page 2====

:'''"Zone Story: Birth of the Powered Masters!!"'''

The Nine Demon Generals unite for a full assault on Zone, intending to steal the [[Zodiac]]. Dai Atlas and Sonic Bomber arrive and defeat all nine Generals, though they escape into space. Victory Saber then congratulates Dai Atlas, passing the role of Supreme Commander on to him.

:*Exactly how ''this'' catalogue story page can work into the timeline is uncertain, as it presents a completely alternate explanation for how Victory Saber named Dai Atlas as his successor. It seems far too contradictory to work with the rest of the ''Zone'' story pages.

Transformers: G-2 (story page)

2026-01-24T03:53:05Z

Cgenro: /* Notes */

{{nav-JG2}}
The primary '''''Transformers: G-2''''' [[story page]]s ran in ''[[TV Magazine]]'' from August 1995 to February 1996. The storyline was written by [[Hidetsugu Yoshioka]] and, aside from a few CG rendered characters, also illustrated by him.

The ''G-2'' story pages continued from where the ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Operation Combination (story page)|Operation Combination]]'' storyline left off, taking place within the [[Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity|universe of the TV series]]. The ''G-2'' story pages were supplemented by the [[Transformers: G-2 (pack-in manga)|''G-2'' pack-in comics]], which often expanded upon particular battles.

==''TV Magazine''==

====Part 2====

:''Published:'' '''September, 1995'''

:'''''G-2 World Genesis: The Six Secrets of the Transformers Completely Explained!!'''''

The origins of the Transformers are covered in six easy steps, going from their creation by the [[Quintesson]]s all the way to the present, with new and mysterious Transformers waiting to be introduced.

:'''''Scoop: Optimus Prime's Strengthening Project Brought to Light!!'''''

Optimus Prime has had [[The many deaths of Optimus Prime|many deaths]] and many [[new body|bodies]] over the years.

:''Published:'' '''October, 1995'''

:'''''The Mysterious Stealth Aircraft Dreadwing is a Decepticon!'''''

The mysterious new warrior known as [[Dreadwing (G2)|Dreadwing]] has allied himself with the Decepticons. However, Dreadwing, a pacifist by nature, has been manipulated by [[Smokescreen (G2)|Smokescreen]]. They intend to obliterate all the warring robots in order to bring peace to the galaxy.

:'''''Autobots vs. Decepticons: Combat Secrets'''''

After his sanity circuits were repaired, Megatron and Optimus Prime adopted [[Action Master]] bodies and formed the [[Cybertron Alliance]] to bring peace to the galaxy. However, Megatron began to believe that if he were sole ruler of the galaxy, he would achieve peace through tyranny. He was eventually pushed over the edge when [[human]] soldiers killed a [[Kiloton|close friend of Megatron's]], unprovoked. Megatron then took on a new tank mode, leaving Prime to adopt a missile trailer mode. And so, the G-2 wars began.

====Part 4====

[[File:G2StoryPage4ab.jpg|thumb|240px]]

:''Published:'' '''November, 1995'''

:'''''Convoy’s Counterattack! The Cybertron Army’s Supreme Commander Is Taken Out!'''''

:'''''Cybertron Cyberjet Team Appears'''''

As the war escalates, the Autobots deploy their own elite Cyberjet unit—Jetfire and his comrades—whose high‑speed aerial capabilities are highlighted as a new trump card for the Cybertron forces.

====Part 5====

:''Published:'' '''December, 1995'''

:'''''Birth of the New Supreme Commander Battle Convoy!'''''

After a great battle, Optimus Prime was defeated by Megatron. Luckily, the [[Spark|spirit]]s of past Autobot commanders dwelling within the Matrix of Leadership activated the [[Reconfiguration Matrix]] and resurrected Optimus Prime as Battle Convoy, powering him up with a new body in the process. Battle Convoy's power vastly exceeded that of Megatron's. With his new weapon, the [[Cybertonium]] Sword, Battle Convoy crushed Megatron's fusion cannon and rose victorious.

Entering a diagnostic of Battle Convoy's new body, it is explained that the new property of the Matrix discovered by the research team, the Reconfiguration Matrix, has the ability to reformat Prime based on the need of the situation. Battle Convoy's new Laser Rod body features the following stats:

Height: 13 meters
Weight: 13.5 tons

Megatron joins forces with the stealth fighter Dreadwing to annihilate the Cybertrons and expand the renewed G‑2 war into outer space. Battle Convoy rallies the Cybertron forces—Jetfire’s Cyberjets, the Laser Rod team, and other warriors—to oppose Megatron’s plan, resolving that the united Cybertrons will defend Earth and the cosmos from the Destron emperor’s ambitions

====Part 7====
[[File:G-2StoryPageFinalPanel01.jpg|thumb|225px]]

:''Published:'' '''February, 1996'''

:'''''The Autobots Triumph in the Battle of Good Vs. Evil!'''''

*Though Megatron has been vanquished, the Japanese ''G-2'' storyline does not end here! Ten years later, through tech spec bios and pack-in comics written by [[Hirofumi Ichikawa]] and drawn by [[Hidetsugu Yoshioka]], [[e-HOBBY]] revived and continued the storyline.
**''G-2'' continues in the [[Galvatron II]] bio, where a Galvatron from [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|an alternate reality]] travels to this timeline, intending to conquer the universe with his fleet of [[Warworld]]s.
**Next, in the [[Laser Rod]] [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] bio, Ultra Magnus uses the [[Reconfiguration Matrix]] within the [[Matrix of Leadership]] to resurrect himself in a new body with which to counter Galvatron II.
**The "[[Hybrid Style Convoy Black Version]]" pack-in comic takes place next, with Optimus Prime donning a new [[Black body (technology)|Black body]] form to rescue Ultra Magnus from Galvatron II.
**Then, in the "[[MP-1B Cybertron Commander / Convoy Black Ver.]]" pack-in comics, Wheeljack and [[Ga'mede]] use the Black Body technology to create an army of Optimus Prime clones called "[[Eldedroid]]s" to battle the renewed Decepticon forces, now lead by Galvatron II (Megatron being deposed as leader).
**And then in "[[MP-3G Destron Air Commander / Starscream Ghost Ver.]]", the Autobots fight a time-displaced [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|ghost Starscream]].
*The post-''G-2'' storyline would then lay low for a few years until [[Hayato Sakamoto]]'s ''[[Transformers Legends (comic)|Legends]]'' and ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'' stories continued the events of the late 2030s.

The origins of the Transformers are covered in six easy steps, going from their creation by the [[Quintesson]]s all the way to the present, with new and mysterious Transformers waiting to be introduced.

:'''''Scoop: Optimus Prime's Strengthening Project Brought to Light!!'''''

Optimus Prime has had [[The many deaths of Optimus Prime|many deaths]] and many [[new body|bodies]] over the years. Presented here is a chart of his deaths, resurrections and various appearances up through his new missile trailer mode. But he has a new, mysterious form looming on the horizon.

:''Published:'' '''October, 1995'''

:'''''The Mysterious Stealth Aircraft Dreadwing is a Decepticon!'''''

The mysterious new warrior known as [[Dreadwing (G2)|Dreadwing]] has allied himself with the Decepticons. However, Dreadwing, a pacifist by nature, has been manipulated by [[Smokescreen (G2)|Smokescreen]]. They intend to obliterate all the warring robots in order to bring peace to the galaxy.

:'''''Autobots vs. Decepticons: Combat Secrets'''''

After his sanity circuits were repaired, Megatron and Optimus Prime adopted [[Action Master]] bodies and formed the [[Cybertron Alliance]] to bring peace to the galaxy. However, Megatron began to believe that if he were sole ruler of the galaxy, he would achieve peace through tyranny. He was eventually pushed over the edge when [[human]] soldiers killed a [[Kiloton|close friend of Megatron's]], unprovoked. Megatron then took on a new tank mode, leaving Prime to adopt a missile trailer mode. And so, the G-2 wars began.

:''Published:'' '''November, 1995'''

:'''''Convoy’s Counterattack! The Cybertron Army’s Supreme Commander Is Taken Out!'''''

As Jetfire and the Cybertron science team uncover a mysterious new power slumbering within Convoy’s Matrix, Convoy and Megatron meet for a one‑on‑one showdown. Convoy musters his courage and slugs Megatron with a mighty punch, but Megatron responds by catching him in a crushing “Dread Ball” hold and blasting him at point‑blank range, leaving the Cybertron Supreme Commander badly damaged and apparently defeated.

:'''''Cybertron Cyberjet Team Appears'''''

As the war escalates, the Autobots deploy their own elite Cyberjet unit—Jetfire and his comrades—whose high‑speed aerial capabilities are highlighted as a new trump card for the Cybertron forces.

====Part 5====

:''Published:'' '''December, 1995'''

:'''''Birth of the New Supreme Commander Battle Convoy!'''''

After a great battle, Optimus Prime was defeated by Megatron. Luckily, the [[Spark|spirit]]s of past Autobot commanders dwelling within the Matrix of Leadership activated the [[Reconfiguration Matrix]] and resurrected Optimus Prime as Battle Convoy, powering him up with a new body in the process. Battle Convoy's power vastly exceeded that of Megatron's. With his new weapon, the [[Cybertonium]] Sword, Battle Convoy crushed Megatron's fusion cannon and rose victorious.

Entering a diagnostic of Battle Convoy's new body, it is explained that the new property of the Matrix discovered by the research team, the Reconfiguration Matrix, has the ability to reformat Prime based on the need of the situation. Battle Convoy's new Laser Rod body features the following stats:

Height: 13 meters
Weight: 13.5 tons

====Part 6====

[[File:G2StoryPage6ab.jpg|thumb|225px]]

:''Published:'' '''January, 1996'''

:'''''Cybertron Great Victory!!'''''

With Battle Convoy leading the charge, the Cybertron army launches a full‑scale offensive that finally drives Megatron and his Destron forces into retreat. Cyberjets, Laser Rods, and other allies bombard Destron troops on land and in space, leaving Megatron’s once‑mighty armada in ruins and raising the question of whether true peace will at last return to the universe.

:'''''Battle Convoy vs. Megatron’s New Offensive'''''
Megatron joins forces with the stealth fighter Dreadwing to annihilate the Cybertrons and expand the renewed G‑2 war into outer space. Battle Convoy rallies the Cybertron forces—Jetfire’s Cyberjets, the Laser Rod team, and other warriors—to oppose Megatron’s plan, resolving that the united Cybertrons will defend Earth and the cosmos from the Destron emperor’s ambitions

====Part 7====
[[File:G-2StoryPageFinalPanel01.jpg|thumb|225px]]

:''Published:'' '''February, 1996'''

:'''''The Autobots Triumph in the Battle of Good Vs. Evil!'''''

Now understanding the threat of Battle Convoy, Megatron attacks the Autobot headquarters with full force. Battle Convoy challenges Megatron to the [[Heavy Metal War|"Law of Cybertron"]], in which the loser and his forces must retreat to deep space forever. After a grueling fight, Battle Convoy narrowly triumphs. Megatron and the Decepticons retreat to deep space as the badly injured Battle Convoy hobbles off with the aid of Electro and Volt.

==Notes==
*Though Megatron has been vanquished, the Japanese ''G-2'' storyline does not end here! Ten years later, through tech spec bios and pack-in comics written by [[Hirofumi Ichikawa]] and drawn by [[Hidetsugu Yoshioka]], [[e-HOBBY]] revived and continued the storyline.
**''G-2'' continues in the [[Galvatron II]] bio, where a Galvatron from [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|an alternate reality]] travels to this timeline, intending to conquer the universe with his fleet of [[Warworld]]s.
**Next, in the [[Laser Rod]] [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] bio, Ultra Magnus uses the [[Reconfiguration Matrix]] within the [[Matrix of Leadership]] to resurrect himself in a new body with which to counter Galvatron II.
**The "[[Hybrid Style Convoy Black Version]]" pack-in comic takes place next, with Optimus Prime donning a new [[Black body (technology)|Black body]] form to rescue Ultra Magnus from Galvatron II.
**Then, in the "[[MP-1B Cybertron Commander / Convoy Black Ver.]]" pack-in comics, Wheeljack and [[Ga'mede]] use the Black Body technology to create an army of Optimus Prime clones called "[[Eldedroid]]s" to battle the renewed Decepticon forces, now lead by Galvatron II (Megatron being deposed as leader).
**And then in "[[MP-3G Destron Air Commander / Starscream Ghost Ver.]]", the Autobots fight a time-displaced [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|ghost Starscream]].
*The post-''G-2'' storyline would then lay fallow for a few years until [[Hayato Sakamoto]]'s ''[[Transformers Legends (comic)|Legends]]'' and ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'' stories continued the events of the late 2030s.

:'''''The Mysterious Stealth Aircraft Dreadwing is a Decepticon!'''''

The mysterious new warrior known as [[Dreadwing (G2)|Dreadwing]] has allied himself with the Decepticons. However, Dreadwing, a pacifist by nature, has been manipulated by [[Smokescreen (G2)|Smokescreen]]. They intend to obliterate all the warring robots in order to bring peace to the galaxy.

:'''''Autobots vs. Decepticons: Combat Secrets'''''

After his sanity circuits were repaired, Megatron and Optimus Prime adopted [[Action Master]] bodies and formed the [[Cybertron Alliance]] to bring peace to the galaxy. However, Megatron began to believe that if he were sole ruler of the galaxy, he would achieve peace through tyranny. He was eventually pushed over the edge when [[human]] soldiers killed a [[Kiloton|close friend of Megatron's]], unprovoked. Megatron then took on a new tank mode, leaving Prime to adopt a missile trailer mode. And so, the G-2 wars began.

:'''''Convoy’s Counterattack! The Cybertron Army’s Supreme Commander Is Taken Out!'''''

As Jetfire and the Cybertron science team uncover a mysterious new power slumbering within Convoy’s Matrix, Convoy and Megatron meet for a one‑on‑one showdown. Convoy musters his courage and slugs Megatron with a mighty punch, but Megatron responds by catching him in a crushing “Dread Ball” hold and blasting him at point‑blank range, leaving the Cybertron Supreme Commander badly damaged and apparently defeated.

:'''''Cybertron Cyberjet Team Appears'''''

As the war escalates, the Autobots deploy their own elite Cyberjet unit—Jetfire and his comrades—whose high‑speed aerial capabilities are highlighted as a new trump card for the Cybertron forces.

====Part 5====

:''Published:'' '''December, 1995'''

:'''''Birth of the New Supreme Commander Battle Convoy!'''''

After a great battle, Optimus Prime was defeated by Megatron. Luckily, the [[Spark|spirit]]s of past Autobot commanders dwelling within the Matrix of Leadership activated the [[Reconfiguration Matrix]] and resurrected Optimus Prime as Battle Convoy, powering him up with a new body in the process. Battle Convoy's power vastly exceeded that of Megatron's. With his new weapon, the [[Cybertonium]] Sword, Battle Convoy crushed Megatron's fusion cannon and rose victorious.

Entering a diagnostic of Battle Convoy's new body, it is explained that the new property of the Matrix discovered by the research team, the Reconfiguration Matrix, has the ability to reformat Prime based on the need of the situation. Battle Convoy's new Laser Rod body features the following stats:

Height: 13 meters
Weight: 13.5 tons

With Battle Convoy leading the charge, the Cybertron army launches a full‑scale offensive that finally drives Megatron and his Destron forces into retreat. Cyberjets, Laser Rods, and other allies bombard Destron troops on land and in space, leaving Megatron’s once‑mighty armada in ruins and raising the question of whether true peace will at last return to the universe.

:'''''Battle Convoy vs. Megatron’s New Offensive'''''
Megatron joins forces with the stealth fighter Dreadwing to annihilate the Cybertrons and expand the renewed G‑2 war into outer space. Battle Convoy rallies the Cybertron forces—Jetfire’s Cyberjets, the Laser Rod team, and other warriors—to oppose Megatron’s plan, resolving that the united Cybertrons will defend Earth and the cosmos from the Destron emperor’s ambitions

====Part 7====

:''Published:'' '''February, 1996'''

:'''''The Autobots Triumph in the Battle of Good Vs. Evil!'''''

Now understanding the threat of Battle Convoy, Megatron attacks the Autobot headquarters with full force. Battle Convoy challenges Megatron to the [[Heavy Metal War|"Law of Cybertron"]], in which the loser and his forces must retreat to deep space forever. After a grueling fight, Battle Convoy narrowly triumphs. Megatron and the Decepticons retreat to deep space as the badly injured Battle Convoy hobbles off with the aid of Electro and Volt.

*Though Megatron has been vanquished, the Japanese ''G-2'' storyline does not end here! Ten years later, through tech spec bios and pack-in comics written by [[Hirofumi Ichikawa]] and drawn by [[Hidetsugu Yoshioka]], [[e-HOBBY]] revived and continued the storyline.
**''G-2'' continues in the [[Galvatron II]] bio, where a Galvatron from [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|an alternate reality]] travels to this timeline, intending to conquer the universe with his fleet of [[Warworld]]s.
**Next, in the [[Laser Rod]] [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] bio, Ultra Magnus uses the [[Reconfiguration Matrix]] within the [[Matrix of Leadership]] to resurrect himself in a new body with which to counter Galvatron II.
**The "[[Hybrid Style Convoy Black Version]]" pack-in comic takes place next, with Optimus Prime donning a new [[Black body (technology)|Black body]] form to rescue Ultra Magnus from Galvatron II.
**Then, in the "[[MP-1B Cybertron Commander / Convoy Black Ver.]]" pack-in comics, Wheeljack and [[Ga'mede]] use the Black Body technology to create an army of Optimus Prime clones called "[[Eldedroid]]s" to battle the renewed Decepticon forces, now lead by Galvatron II (Megatron being deposed as leader).
**And then in "[[MP-3G Destron Air Commander / Starscream Ghost Ver.]]", the Autobots fight a time-displaced [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|ghost Starscream]].
*The post-''G-2'' storyline would then lay fallow for a few years until [[Hayato Sakamoto]]'s ''[[Transformers Legends (comic)|Legends]]'' and ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'' stories continued the events of the late 2030s.

Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Operation Combination (story page)|Operation Combination]]'' storyline left off, taking place within the [[Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity|universe of the TV series]]. The ''G-2'' story pages were supplemented by the [[Transformers: G-2 (pack-in manga)|''G-2'' pack-in comics]], which often expanded upon particular battles.

====Part 1====

:''Published:'' '''August, 1995'''

:'''''Confrontation of The Autobots and the Decepticons!'''''

The [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s are (re)introduced. [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]], now in a new tank body, has the power to manipulate black holes to create the "Black Hole Burn" attack. He yearns to steal the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] and conquer the galaxy. [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]], now in a missile trailer body, wields the Matrix, which has the power to upgrade all Transformers with new bodies and powers. His attacks are the "Matrix Saturn" and "Gatling Impact Laser"

:'''''A Gathering of Fighting Robots'''''

The [[Laser Rod]] teams ([[Electro]], [[Volt]], [[Sizzle (G2)|Sizzle]] and [[Jolt (G2)|Jolt]]) and the [[Cyberjet]] teams ([[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]], [[Aero Raid]], [[Strafe (G2)|Strafe]], [[Hooligan (G2)|Hooligan]], [[Space Case (G2)|Space Case]], and [[Skyjack (G2)|Skyjack]]), the newest additions to the Autobots and Decepticons, are introduced.

{{note|This single story page does not feature art by Hidetsugu Yoshioka. Instead, it boasts CG renderings of Optimus Prime and Megatron battling in a live action setting with actors running around screaming.}}

====Part 2====

:''Published:'' '''September, 1995'''

:'''''G-2 World Genesis: The Six Secrets of the Transformers Completely Explained!!'''''

The origins of the Transformers are covered in six easy steps, going from their creation by the [[Quintesson]]s all the way to the present, with new and mysterious Transformers waiting to be introduced.

:'''''Scoop: Optimus Prime's Strengthening Project Brought to Light!!'''''

Optimus Prime has had [[The many deaths of Optimus Prime|many deaths]] and many [[new body|bodies]] over the years. Presented here is a chart of his deaths, resurrections and various appearances up through his new missile trailer mode. But he has a new, mysterious form looming on the horizon. Also included is a smaller chart featuring the many forms of Megatron.

====Part 3====
[[File:G2AllianceBeginsAndEnds.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]

:''Published:'' '''October, 1995'''

:'''''The Mysterious Stealth Aircraft Dreadwing is a Decepticon!'''''

The mysterious new warrior known as [[Dreadwing (G2)|Dreadwing]] has allied himself with the Decepticons. However, Dreadwing, a pacifist by nature, has been manipulated by [[Smokescreen (G2)|Smokescreen]]. They intend to obliterate all the warring robots in order to bring peace to the galaxy.

:'''''Autobots vs. Decepticons: Combat Secrets'''''

After his sanity circuits were repaired, Megatron and Optimus Prime adopted [[Action Master]] bodies and formed the [[Cybertron Alliance]] to bring peace to the galaxy. However, Megatron began to believe that if he were sole ruler of the galaxy, he would achieve peace through tyranny. He was eventually pushed over the edge when [[human]] soldiers killed a [[Kiloton|close friend of Megatron's]], unprovoked. Megatron then took on a new tank mode, leaving Prime to adopt a missile trailer mode. And so, the G-2 wars began.

====Part 4====

[[File:G2StoryPage4ab.jpg|thumb|240px]]

:''Published:'' '''November, 1995'''

:'''''Convoy’s Counterattack! The Cybertron Army’s Supreme Commander Is Taken Out!'''''

As Jetfire and the Cybertron science team uncover a mysterious new power slumbering within Convoy’s Matrix, Convoy and Megatron meet for a one‑on‑one showdown. Convoy musters his courage and slugs Megatron with a mighty punch, but Megatron responds by catching him in a crushing “Dread Ball” hold and blasting him at point‑blank range, leaving the Cybertron Supreme Commander badly damaged and apparently defeated.

:'''''Cybertron Cyberjet Team Appears'''''

As the war escalates, the Autobots deploy their own elite Cyberjet unit—Jetfire and his comrades—whose high‑speed aerial capabilities are highlighted as a new trump card for the Cybertron forces.

====Part 5====

:''Published:'' '''December, 1995'''

:'''''Birth of the New Supreme Commander Battle Convoy!'''''

After a great battle, Optimus Prime was defeated by Megatron. Luckily, the [[Spark|spirit]]s of past Autobot commanders dwelling within the Matrix of Leadership activated the [[Reconfiguration Matrix]] and resurrected Optimus Prime as Battle Convoy, powering him up with a new body in the process. Battle Convoy's power vastly exceeded that of Megatron's. With his new weapon, the [[Cybertonium]] Sword, Battle Convoy crushed Megatron's fusion cannon and rose victorious.

Entering a diagnostic of Battle Convoy's new body, it is explained that the new property of the Matrix discovered by the research team, the Reconfiguration Matrix, has the ability to reformat Prime based on the need of the situation. Battle Convoy's new Laser Rod body features the following stats:

Height: 13 meters
Weight: 13.5 tons

{{note|The events of "Birth of the New Supreme Commander Battle Convoy!" are retold in the [[Transformers: G-2 (pack-in manga)|''G-2'' pack-in comic]] issue #13.}}

====Part 6====

[[File:G2StoryPage6ab.jpg|thumb|225px]]

:''Published:'' '''January, 1996'''

:'''''Cybertron Great Victory!!'''''

With Battle Convoy leading the charge, the Cybertron army launches a full‑scale offensive that finally drives Megatron and his Destron forces into retreat. Cyberjets, Laser Rods, and other allies bombard Destron troops on land and in space, leaving Megatron’s once‑mighty armada in ruins and raising the question of whether true peace will at last return to the universe.

:'''''Battle Convoy vs. Megatron’s New Offensive'''''
Megatron joins forces with the stealth fighter Dreadwing to annihilate the Cybertrons and expand the renewed G‑2 war into outer space. Battle Convoy rallies the Cybertron forces—Jetfire’s Cyberjets, the Laser Rod team, and other warriors—to oppose Megatron’s plan, resolving that the united Cybertrons will defend Earth and the cosmos from the Destron emperor’s ambitions

====Part 7====
[[File:G-2StoryPageFinalPanel01.jpg|thumb|225px]]

:''Published:'' '''February, 1996'''

:'''''The Autobots Triumph in the Battle of Good Vs. Evil!'''''

Now understanding the threat of Battle Convoy, Megatron attacks the Autobot headquarters with full force. Battle Convoy challenges Megatron to the [[Heavy Metal War|"Law of Cybertron"]], in which the loser and his forces must retreat to deep space forever. After a grueling fight, Battle Convoy narrowly triumphs. Megatron and the Decepticons retreat to deep space as the badly injured Battle Convoy hobbles off with the aid of Electro and Volt.

==Notes==
*Though Megatron has been vanquished, the Japanese ''G-2'' storyline does not end here! Ten years later, through tech spec bios and pack-in comics written by [[Hirofumi Ichikawa]] and drawn by [[Hidetsugu Yoshioka]], [[e-HOBBY]] revived and continued the storyline.
**''G-2'' continues in the [[Galvatron II]] bio, where a Galvatron from [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|an alternate reality]] travels to this timeline, intending to conquer the universe with his fleet of [[Warworld]]s.
**Next, in the [[Laser Rod]] [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] bio, Ultra Magnus uses the [[Reconfiguration Matrix]] within the [[Matrix of Leadership]] to resurrect himself in a new body with which to counter Galvatron II.
**The "[[Hybrid Style Convoy Black Version]]" pack-in comic takes place next, with Optimus Prime donning a new [[Black body (technology)|Black body]] form to rescue Ultra Magnus from Galvatron II.
**Then, in the "[[MP-1B Cybertron Commander / Convoy Black Ver.]]" pack-in comics, Wheeljack and [[Ga'mede]] use the Black Body technology to create an army of Optimus Prime clones called "[[Eldedroid]]s" to battle the renewed Decepticon forces, now lead by Galvatron II (Megatron being deposed as leader).
**And then in "[[MP-3G Destron Air Commander / Starscream Ghost Ver.]]", the Autobots fight a time-displaced [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|ghost Starscream]].
*The post-''G-2'' storyline would then lay fallow for a few years until [[Hayato Sakamoto]]'s ''[[Transformers Legends (comic)|Legends]]'' and ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'' stories continued the events of the late 2030s.

The primary '''''Transformers: G-2''''' [[story page]]s ran in ''[[TV Magazine]]'' from August 1995 to February 1996. The storyline was written by [[Hidetsugu Yoshioka]] and, aside from a few CG rendered characters, also illustrated by him.

The ''G-2'' story pages continued from where the ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Operation Combination (story page)|Operation Combination]]'' storyline left off, taking place within the [[Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity|universe of the TV series]]. The ''G-2'' story pages were supplemented by the [[Transformers: G-2 (pack-in manga)|''G-2'' pack-in comics]], which often expanded upon particular battles.

===Issues===
====Part 1====

:''Published:'' '''August, 1995'''

:'''''Confrontation of The Autobots and the Decepticons!'''''

The [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s are (re)introduced. [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]], now in a new tank body, has the power to manipulate black holes to create the "Black Hole Burn" attack. He yearns to steal the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] and conquer the galaxy. [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]], now in a missile trailer body, wields the Matrix, which has the power to upgrade all Transformers with new bodies and powers. His attacks are the "Matrix Saturn" and "Gatling Impact Laser"

:'''''A Gathering of Fighting Robots'''''

The [[Laser Rod]] teams ([[Electro]], [[Volt]], [[Sizzle (G2)|Sizzle]] and [[Jolt (G2)|Jolt]]) and the [[Cyberjet]] teams ([[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]], [[Aero Raid]], [[Strafe (G2)|Strafe]], [[Hooligan (G2)|Hooligan]], [[Space Case (G2)|Space Case]], and [[Skyjack (G2)|Skyjack]]), the newest additions to the Autobots and Decepticons, are introduced.

{{note|This single story page does not feature art by Hidetsugu Yoshioka. Instead, it boasts CG renderings of Optimus Prime and Megatron battling in a live action setting with actors running around screaming.}}

====Part 2====

:''Published:'' '''September, 1995'''

:'''''G-2 World Genesis: The Six Secrets of the Transformers Completely Explained!!'''''

The origins of the Transformers are covered in six easy steps, going from their creation by the [[Quintesson]]s all the way to the present, with new and mysterious Transformers waiting to be introduced.

:'''''Scoop: Optimus Prime's Strengthening Project Brought to Light!!'''''

Optimus Prime has had [[The many deaths of Optimus Prime|many deaths]] and many [[new body|bodies]] over the years. Presented here is a chart of his deaths, resurrections and various appearances up through his new missile trailer mode. But he has a new, mysterious form looming on the horizon. Also included is a smaller chart featuring the many forms of Megatron.

====Part 3====
[[File:G2AllianceBeginsAndEnds.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]

:''Published:'' '''October, 1995'''

:'''''The Mysterious Stealth Aircraft Dreadwing is a Decepticon!'''''

The mysterious new warrior known as [[Dreadwing (G2)|Dreadwing]] has allied himself with the Decepticons. However, Dreadwing, a pacifist by nature, has been manipulated by [[Smokescreen (G2)|Smokescreen]]. They intend to obliterate all the warring robots in order to bring peace to the galaxy.

:'''''Autobots vs. Decepticons: Combat Secrets'''''

After his sanity circuits were repaired, Megatron and Optimus Prime adopted [[Action Master]] bodies and formed the [[Cybertron Alliance]] to bring peace to the galaxy. However, Megatron began to believe that if he were sole ruler of the galaxy, he would achieve peace through tyranny. He was eventually pushed over the edge when [[human]] soldiers killed a [[Kiloton|close friend of Megatron's]], unprovoked. Megatron then took on a new tank mode, leaving Prime to adopt a missile trailer mode. And so, the G-2 wars began.

====Part 4====

[[File:G2StoryPage4ab.jpg|thumb|240px]]

:''Published:'' '''November, 1995'''

:'''''Convoy’s Counterattack! The Cybertron Army’s Supreme Commander Is Taken Out!'''''

As Jetfire and the Cybertron science team uncover a mysterious new power slumbering within Convoy’s Matrix, Convoy and Megatron meet for a one‑on‑one showdown. Convoy musters his courage and slugs Megatron with a mighty punch, but Megatron responds by catching him in a crushing “Dread Ball” hold and blasting him at point‑blank range, leaving the Cybertron Supreme Commander badly damaged and apparently defeated.

:'''''Cybertron Cyberjet Team Appears'''''

As the war escalates, the Autobots deploy their own elite Cyberjet unit—Jetfire and his comrades—whose high‑speed aerial capabilities are highlighted as a new trump card for the Cybertron forces.

====Part 5====

:''Published:'' '''December, 1995'''

:'''''Birth of the New Supreme Commander Battle Convoy!'''''

After a great battle, Optimus Prime was defeated by Megatron. Luckily, the [[Spark|spirit]]s of past Autobot commanders dwelling within the Matrix of Leadership activated the [[Reconfiguration Matrix]] and resurrected Optimus Prime as Battle Convoy, powering him up with a new body in the process. Battle Convoy's power vastly exceeded that of Megatron's. With his new weapon, the [[Cybertonium]] Sword, Battle Convoy crushed Megatron's fusion cannon and rose victorious.

Entering a diagnostic of Battle Convoy's new body, it is explained that the new property of the Matrix discovered by the research team, the Reconfiguration Matrix, has the ability to reformat Prime based on the need of the situation. Battle Convoy's new Laser Rod body features the following stats:

Height: 13 meters
Weight: 13.5 tons

{{note|The events of "Birth of the New Supreme Commander Battle Convoy!" are retold in the [[Transformers: G-2 (pack-in manga)|''G-2'' pack-in comic]] issue #13.}}

====Part 6====

[[File:G2StoryPage6ab.jpg|thumb|225px]]

:''Published:'' '''January, 1996'''

:'''''Cybertron Great Victory!!'''''

With Battle Convoy leading the charge, the Cybertron army launches a full‑scale offensive that finally drives Megatron and his Destron forces into retreat. Cyberjets, Laser Rods, and other allies bombard Destron troops on land and in space, leaving Megatron’s once‑mighty armada in ruins and raising the question of whether true peace will at last return to the universe.

:'''''Battle Convoy vs. Megatron’s New Offensive'''''
Megatron joins forces with the stealth fighter Dreadwing to annihilate the Cybertrons and expand the renewed G‑2 war into outer space. Battle Convoy rallies the Cybertron forces—Jetfire’s Cyberjets, the Laser Rod team, and other warriors—to oppose Megatron’s plan, resolving that the united Cybertrons will defend Earth and the cosmos from the Destron emperor’s ambitions

====Part 7====
[[File:G-2StoryPageFinalPanel01.jpg|thumb|225px]]

:''Published:'' '''February, 1996'''

:'''''The Autobots Triumph in the Battle of Good Vs. Evil!'''''

Now understanding the threat of Battle Convoy, Megatron attacks the Autobot headquarters with full force. Battle Convoy challenges Megatron to the [[Heavy Metal War|"Law of Cybertron"]], in which the loser and his forces must retreat to deep space forever. After a grueling fight, Battle Convoy narrowly triumphs. Megatron and the Decepticons retreat to deep space as the badly injured Battle Convoy hobbles off with the aid of Electro and Volt.

==Notes==
*Though Megatron has been vanquished, the Japanese ''G-2'' storyline does not end here! Ten years later, through tech spec bios and pack-in comics written by [[Hirofumi Ichikawa]] and drawn by [[Hidetsugu Yoshioka]], [[e-HOBBY]] revived and continued the storyline.
**''G-2'' continues in the [[Galvatron II]] bio, where a Galvatron from [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|an alternate reality]] travels to this timeline, intending to conquer the universe with his fleet of [[Warworld]]s.
**Next, in the [[Laser Rod]] [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] bio, Ultra Magnus uses the [[Reconfiguration Matrix]] within the [[Matrix of Leadership]] to resurrect himself in a new body with which to counter Galvatron II.
**The "[[Hybrid Style Convoy Black Version]]" pack-in comic takes place next, with Optimus Prime donning a new [[Black body (technology)|Black body]] form to rescue Ultra Magnus from Galvatron II.
**Then, in the "[[MP-1B Cybertron Commander / Convoy Black Ver.]]" pack-in comics, Wheeljack and [[Ga'mede]] use the Black Body technology to create an army of Optimus Prime clones called "[[Eldedroid]]s" to battle the renewed Decepticon forces, now lead by Galvatron II (Megatron being deposed as leader).
**And then in "[[MP-3G Destron Air Commander / Starscream Ghost Ver.]]", the Autobots fight a time-displaced [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|ghost Starscream]].
*The post-''G-2'' storyline would then lay fallow for a few years until [[Hayato Sakamoto]]'s ''[[Transformers Legends (comic)|Legends]]'' and ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'' stories continued the events of the late 2030s.

Transformers: G-2 (story page)

2026-01-19T23:25:57Z

Cgenro: /* Featured characters */

{{nav-JG2}}
The primary '''''Transformers: G-2''''' [[story page]]s ran in ''[[TV Magazine]]'' from August 1995 to February 1996. The storyline was written by [[Hidetsugu Yoshioka]] and, aside from a few CG rendered characters, also illustrated by him.

The ''G-2'' story pages continued from where the ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Operation Combination (story page)|Operation Combination]]'' storyline left off, taking place within the [[Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity|universe of the TV series]]. The ''G-2'' story pages were supplemented by the [[Transformers: G-2 (pack-in manga)|''G-2'' pack-in comics]], which often expanded upon particular battles.

==''TV Magazine''==
===Issues===
====Part 1====

:''Published:'' '''August, 1995'''

:'''''Confrontation of The Autobots and the Decepticons!'''''

The [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s are (re)introduced. [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]], now in a new tank body, has the power to manipulate black holes to create the "Black Hole Burn" attack. He yearns to steal the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] and conquer the galaxy. [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]], now in a missile trailer body, wields the Matrix, which has the power to upgrade all Transformers with new bodies and powers. His attacks are the "Matrix Saturn" and "Gatling Impact Laser"

:'''''A Gathering of Fighting Robots'''''

The [[Laser Rod]] teams ([[Electro]], [[Volt]], [[Sizzle (G2)|Sizzle]] and [[Jolt (G2)|Jolt]]) and the [[Cyberjet]] teams ([[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]], [[Aero Raid]], [[Strafe (G2)|Strafe]], [[Hooligan (G2)|Hooligan]], [[Space Case (G2)|Space Case]], and [[Skyjack (G2)|Skyjack]]), the newest additions to the Autobots and Decepticons, are introduced.

{{note|This single story page does not feature art by Hidetsugu Yoshioka. Instead, it boasts CG renderings of Optimus Prime and Megatron battling in a live action setting with actors running around screaming.}}

====Part 2====

:''Published:'' '''September, 1995'''

:'''''G-2 World Genesis: The Six Secrets of the Transformers Completely Explained!!'''''

The origins of the Transformers are covered in six easy steps, going from their creation by the [[Quintesson]]s all the way to the present, with new and mysterious Transformers waiting to be introduced.

:'''''Scoop: Optimus Prime's Strengthening Project Brought to Light!!'''''

Optimus Prime has had [[The many deaths of Optimus Prime|many deaths]] and many [[new body|bodies]] over the years. Presented here is a chart of his deaths, resurrections and various appearances up through his new missile trailer mode. But he has a new, mysterious form looming on the horizon. Also included is a smaller chart featuring the many forms of Megatron.

====Part 3====
[[File:G2AllianceBeginsAndEnds.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]

:''Published:'' '''October, 1995'''

:'''''The Mysterious Stealth Aircraft Dreadwing is a Decepticon!'''''

The mysterious new warrior known as [[Dreadwing (G2)|Dreadwing]] has allied himself with the Decepticons. However, Dreadwing, a pacifist by nature, has been manipulated by [[Smokescreen (G2)|Smokescreen]]. They intend to obliterate all the warring robots in order to bring peace to the galaxy.

:'''''Autobots vs. Decepticons: Combat Secrets'''''

After his sanity circuits were repaired, Megatron and Optimus Prime adopted [[Action Master]] bodies and formed the [[Cybertron Alliance]] to bring peace to the galaxy. However, Megatron began to believe that if he were sole ruler of the galaxy, he would achieve peace through tyranny. He was eventually pushed over the edge when [[human]] soldiers killed a [[Kiloton|close friend of Megatron's]], unprovoked. Megatron then took on a new tank mode, leaving Prime to adopt a missile trailer mode. And so, the G-2 wars began.

====Part 4====

[[File:G2StoryPage4ab.jpg|thumb|240px]]

:''Published:'' '''November, 1995'''

:'''''Convoy’s Counterattack! The Cybertron Army’s Supreme Commander Is Taken Out!'''''

As Jetfire and the Cybertron science team uncover a mysterious new power slumbering within Convoy’s Matrix, Convoy and Megatron meet for a one‑on‑one showdown. Convoy musters his courage and slugs Megatron with a mighty punch, but Megatron responds by catching him in a crushing “Dread Ball” hold and blasting him at point‑blank range, leaving the Cybertron Supreme Commander badly damaged and apparently defeated.

:'''''Cybertron Cyberjet Team Appears'''''

As the war escalates, the Autobots deploy their own elite Cyberjet unit—Jetfire and his comrades—whose high‑speed aerial capabilities are highlighted as a new trump card for the Cybertron forces.

====Part 5====

:''Published:'' '''December, 1995'''

:'''''Birth of the New Supreme Commander Battle Convoy!'''''

After a great battle, Optimus Prime was defeated by Megatron. Luckily, the [[Spark|spirit]]s of past Autobot commanders dwelling within the Matrix of Leadership activated the [[Reconfiguration Matrix]] and resurrected Optimus Prime as Battle Convoy, powering him up with a new body in the process. Battle Convoy's power vastly exceeded that of Megatron's. With his new weapon, the [[Cybertonium]] Sword, Battle Convoy crushed Megatron's fusion cannon and rose victorious.

Entering a diagnostic of Battle Convoy's new body, it is explained that the new property of the Matrix discovered by the research team, the Reconfiguration Matrix, has the ability to reformat Prime based on the need of the situation. Battle Convoy's new Laser Rod body features the following stats:

Height: 13 meters
Weight: 13.5 tons

{{note|The events of "Birth of the New Supreme Commander Battle Convoy!" are retold in the [[Transformers: G-2 (pack-in manga)|''G-2'' pack-in comic]] issue #13.}}
{{-}}

====Part 6====

[[File:G2StoryPage6ab.jpg|thumb|225px]]

:''Published:'' '''January, 1996'''

:'''''Cybertron Great Victory!!'''''

With Battle Convoy leading the charge, the Cybertron army launches a full‑scale offensive that finally drives Megatron and his Destron forces into retreat. Cyberjets, Laser Rods, and other allies bombard Destron troops on land and in space, leaving Megatron’s once‑mighty armada in ruins and raising the question of whether true peace will at last return to the universe.

:'''''Battle Convoy vs. Megatron’s New Offensive'''''
Megatron joins forces with the stealth fighter Dreadwing to annihilate the Cybertrons and expand the renewed G‑2 war into outer space. Battle Convoy rallies the Cybertron forces—Jetfire’s Cyberjets, the Laser Rod team, and other warriors—to oppose Megatron’s plan, resolving that the united Cybertrons will defend Earth and the cosmos from the Destron emperor’s ambitions

====Part 7====
[[File:G-2StoryPageFinalPanel01.jpg|thumb|225px]]

:''Published:'' '''February, 1996'''

:'''''The Autobots Triumph in the Battle of Good Vs. Evil!'''''

Now understanding the threat of Battle Convoy, Megatron attacks the Autobot headquarters with full force. Battle Convoy challenges Megatron to the [[Heavy Metal War|"Law of Cybertron"]], in which the loser and his forces must retreat to deep space forever. After a grueling fight, Battle Convoy narrowly triumphs. Megatron and the Decepticons retreat to deep space as the badly injured Battle Convoy hobbles off with the aid of Electro and Volt.

**''G-2'' continues in the [[Galvatron II]] bio, where a Galvatron from [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|an alternate reality]] travels to this timeline, intending to conquer the universe with his fleet of [[Warworld]]s.
**Next, in the [[Laser Rod]] [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] bio, Ultra Magnus uses the [[Reconfiguration Matrix]] within the [[Matrix of Leadership]] to resurrect himself in a new body with which to counter Galvatron II.
**The "[[Hybrid Style Convoy Black Version]]" pack-in comic takes place next, with Optimus Prime donning a new [[Black body (technology)|Black body]] form to rescue Ultra Magnus from Galvatron II.
**Then, in the "[[MP-1B Cybertron Commander / Convoy Black Ver.]]" pack-in comics, Wheeljack and [[Ga'mede]] use the Black Body technology to create an army of Optimus Prime clones called "[[Eldedroid]]s" to battle the renewed Decepticon forces, now lead by Galvatron II (Megatron being deposed as leader).
**And then in "[[MP-3G Destron Air Commander / Starscream Ghost Ver.]]", the Autobots fight a time-displaced [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|ghost Starscream]].
*The post-''G-2'' storyline would then lay fallow for a few years until [[Hayato Sakamoto]]'s ''[[Transformers Legends (comic)|Legends]]'' and ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'' stories continued the events of the late 2030s.

Transformers: G-2 (story page)

2026-01-19T23:22:58Z

Cgenro: /* Featured characters */

{{nav-JG2}}
The primary '''''Transformers: G-2''''' [[story page]]s ran in ''[[TV Magazine]]'' from August 1995 to February 1996. The storyline was written by [[Hidetsugu Yoshioka]] and, aside from a few CG rendered characters, also illustrated by him.

The ''G-2'' story pages continued from where the ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Operation Combination (story page)|Operation Combination]]'' storyline left off, taking place within the [[Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity|universe of the TV series]]. The ''G-2'' story pages were supplemented by the [[Transformers: G-2 (pack-in manga)|''G-2'' pack-in comics]], which often expanded upon particular battles.

==''TV Magazine''==
===Issues===
====Part 1====

:''Published:'' '''August, 1995'''

:'''''Confrontation of The Autobots and the Decepticons!'''''

The [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s are (re)introduced. [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]], now in a new tank body, has the power to manipulate black holes to create the "Black Hole Burn" attack. He yearns to steal the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] and conquer the galaxy. [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]], now in a missile trailer body, wields the Matrix, which has the power to upgrade all Transformers with new bodies and powers. His attacks are the "Matrix Saturn" and "Gatling Impact Laser"

:'''''A Gathering of Fighting Robots'''''

The [[Laser Rod]] teams ([[Electro]], [[Volt]], [[Sizzle (G2)|Sizzle]] and [[Jolt (G2)|Jolt]]) and the [[Cyberjet]] teams ([[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]], [[Aero Raid]], [[Strafe (G2)|Strafe]], [[Hooligan (G2)|Hooligan]], [[Space Case (G2)|Space Case]], and [[Skyjack (G2)|Skyjack]]), the newest additions to the Autobots and Decepticons, are introduced.

{{note|This single story page does not feature art by Hidetsugu Yoshioka. Instead, it boasts CG renderings of Optimus Prime and Megatron battling in a live action setting with actors running around screaming.}}

====Part 2====

:''Published:'' '''September, 1995'''

:'''''G-2 World Genesis: The Six Secrets of the Transformers Completely Explained!!'''''

The origins of the Transformers are covered in six easy steps, going from their creation by the [[Quintesson]]s all the way to the present, with new and mysterious Transformers waiting to be introduced.

:'''''Scoop: Optimus Prime's Strengthening Project Brought to Light!!'''''

Optimus Prime has had [[The many deaths of Optimus Prime|many deaths]] and many [[new body|bodies]] over the years. Presented here is a chart of his deaths, resurrections and various appearances up through his new missile trailer mode. But he has a new, mysterious form looming on the horizon. Also included is a smaller chart featuring the many forms of Megatron.

====Part 3====
[[File:G2AllianceBeginsAndEnds.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]

:''Published:'' '''October, 1995'''

:'''''The Mysterious Stealth Aircraft Dreadwing is a Decepticon!'''''

The mysterious new warrior known as [[Dreadwing (G2)|Dreadwing]] has allied himself with the Decepticons. However, Dreadwing, a pacifist by nature, has been manipulated by [[Smokescreen (G2)|Smokescreen]]. They intend to obliterate all the warring robots in order to bring peace to the galaxy.

:'''''Autobots vs. Decepticons: Combat Secrets'''''

After his sanity circuits were repaired, Megatron and Optimus Prime adopted [[Action Master]] bodies and formed the [[Cybertron Alliance]] to bring peace to the galaxy. However, Megatron began to believe that if he were sole ruler of the galaxy, he would achieve peace through tyranny. He was eventually pushed over the edge when [[human]] soldiers killed a [[Kiloton|close friend of Megatron's]], unprovoked. Megatron then took on a new tank mode, leaving Prime to adopt a missile trailer mode. And so, the G-2 wars began.

====Part 4====

[[File:G2StoryPage4ab.jpg|thumb|240px]]

:''Published:'' '''November, 1995'''

:'''''Convoy’s Counterattack! The Cybertron Army’s Supreme Commander Is Taken Out!'''''

As Jetfire and the Cybertron science team uncover a mysterious new power slumbering within Convoy’s Matrix, Convoy and Megatron meet for a one‑on‑one showdown. Convoy musters his courage and slugs Megatron with a mighty punch, but Megatron responds by catching him in a crushing “Dread Ball” hold and blasting him at point‑blank range, leaving the Cybertron Supreme Commander badly damaged and apparently defeated.

:'''''Cybertron Cyberjet Team Appears'''''

As the war escalates, the Autobots deploy their own elite Cyberjet unit—Jetfire and his comrades—whose high‑speed aerial capabilities are highlighted as a new trump card for the Cybertron forces.

====Part 5====

:''Published:'' '''December, 1995'''

:'''''Birth of the New Supreme Commander Battle Convoy!'''''

After a great battle, Optimus Prime was defeated by Megatron. Luckily, the [[Spark|spirit]]s of past Autobot commanders dwelling within the Matrix of Leadership activated the [[Reconfiguration Matrix]] and resurrected Optimus Prime as Battle Convoy, powering him up with a new body in the process. Battle Convoy's power vastly exceeded that of Megatron's. With his new weapon, the [[Cybertonium]] Sword, Battle Convoy crushed Megatron's fusion cannon and rose victorious.

Entering a diagnostic of Battle Convoy's new body, it is explained that the new property of the Matrix discovered by the research team, the Reconfiguration Matrix, has the ability to reformat Prime based on the need of the situation. Battle Convoy's new Laser Rod body features the following stats:

Height: 13 meters
Weight: 13.5 tons

{{note|The events of "Birth of the New Supreme Commander Battle Convoy!" are retold in the [[Transformers: G-2 (pack-in manga)|''G-2'' pack-in comic]] issue #13.}}
{{-}}

====Part 6====

[[File:G2StoryPage6ab.jpg|thumb|225px]]

:''Published:'' '''January, 1996'''

:'''''Cybertron Great Victory!!'''''

With Battle Convoy leading the charge, the Cybertron army launches a full‑scale offensive that finally drives Megatron and his Destron forces into retreat. Cyberjets, Laser Rods, and other allies bombard Destron troops on land and in space, leaving Megatron’s once‑mighty armada in ruins and raising the question of whether true peace will at last return to the universe.

:'''''Battle Convoy vs. Megatron’s New Offensive'''''
Megatron joins forces with the stealth fighter Dreadwing to annihilate the Cybertrons and expand the renewed G‑2 war into outer space. Battle Convoy rallies the Cybertron forces—Jetfire’s Cyberjets, the Laser Rod team, and other warriors—to oppose Megatron’s plan, resolving that the united Cybertrons will defend Earth and the cosmos from the Destron emperor’s ambitions

====Part 7====
[[File:G-2StoryPageFinalPanel01.jpg|thumb|225px]]

:''Published:'' '''February, 1996'''

:'''''The Autobots Triumph in the Battle of Good Vs. Evil!'''''

Now understanding the threat of Battle Convoy, Megatron attacks the Autobot headquarters with full force. Battle Convoy challenges Megatron to the [[Heavy Metal War|"Law of Cybertron"]], in which the loser and his forces must retreat to deep space forever. After a grueling fight, Battle Convoy narrowly triumphs. Megatron and the Decepticons retreat to deep space as the badly injured Battle Convoy hobbles off with the aid of Electro and Volt.

Transformers: G-2 (story page)

2026-01-19T23:17:03Z

Cgenro: /* External links */

{{nav-JG2}}
The primary '''''Transformers: G-2''''' [[story page]]s ran in ''[[TV Magazine]]'' from August 1995 to February 1996. The storyline was written by [[Hidetsugu Yoshioka]] and, aside from a few CG rendered characters, also illustrated by him.

The ''G-2'' story pages continued from where the ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Operation Combination (story page)|Operation Combination]]'' storyline left off, taking place within the [[Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity|universe of the TV series]]. The ''G-2'' story pages were supplemented by the [[Transformers: G-2 (pack-in manga)|''G-2'' pack-in comics]], which often expanded upon particular battles.

==''TV Magazine''==
===Issues===
====Part 1====

:''Published:'' '''August, 1995'''

:'''''Confrontation of The Autobots and the Decepticons!'''''

The [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s are (re)introduced. [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]], now in a new tank body, has the power to manipulate black holes to create the "Black Hole Burn" attack. He yearns to steal the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] and conquer the galaxy. [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]], now in a missile trailer body, wields the Matrix, which has the power to upgrade all Transformers with new bodies and powers. His attacks are the "Matrix Saturn" and "Gatling Impact Laser"

:'''''A Gathering of Fighting Robots'''''

The [[Laser Rod]] teams ([[Electro]], [[Volt]], [[Sizzle (G2)|Sizzle]] and [[Jolt (G2)|Jolt]]) and the [[Cyberjet]] teams ([[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]], [[Aero Raid]], [[Strafe (G2)|Strafe]], [[Hooligan (G2)|Hooligan]], [[Space Case (G2)|Space Case]], and [[Skyjack (G2)|Skyjack]]), the newest additions to the Autobots and Decepticons, are introduced.

{{note|This single story page does not feature art by Hidetsugu Yoshioka. Instead, it boasts CG renderings of Optimus Prime and Megatron battling in a live action setting with actors running around screaming.}}

====Part 2====

:''Published:'' '''September, 1995'''

:'''''G-2 World Genesis: The Six Secrets of the Transformers Completely Explained!!'''''

The origins of the Transformers are covered in six easy steps, going from their creation by the [[Quintesson]]s all the way to the present, with new and mysterious Transformers waiting to be introduced.

:'''''Scoop: Optimus Prime's Strengthening Project Brought to Light!!'''''

Optimus Prime has had [[The many deaths of Optimus Prime|many deaths]] and many [[new body|bodies]] over the years. Presented here is a chart of his deaths, resurrections and various appearances up through his new missile trailer mode. But he has a new, mysterious form looming on the horizon. Also included is a smaller chart featuring the many forms of Megatron.

====Part 3====
[[File:G2AllianceBeginsAndEnds.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]

:''Published:'' '''October, 1995'''

:'''''The Mysterious Stealth Aircraft Dreadwing is a Decepticon!'''''

The mysterious new warrior known as [[Dreadwing (G2)|Dreadwing]] has allied himself with the Decepticons. However, Dreadwing, a pacifist by nature, has been manipulated by [[Smokescreen (G2)|Smokescreen]]. They intend to obliterate all the warring robots in order to bring peace to the galaxy.

:'''''Autobots vs. Decepticons: Combat Secrets'''''

After his sanity circuits were repaired, Megatron and Optimus Prime adopted [[Action Master]] bodies and formed the [[Cybertron Alliance]] to bring peace to the galaxy. However, Megatron began to believe that if he were sole ruler of the galaxy, he would achieve peace through tyranny. He was eventually pushed over the edge when [[human]] soldiers killed a [[Kiloton|close friend of Megatron's]], unprovoked. Megatron then took on a new tank mode, leaving Prime to adopt a missile trailer mode. And so, the G-2 wars began.

====Part 4====

[[File:G2StoryPage4ab.jpg|thumb|240px]]

:''Published:'' '''November, 1995'''

:'''''Convoy’s Counterattack! The Cybertron Army’s Supreme Commander Is Taken Out!'''''

As Jetfire and the Cybertron science team uncover a mysterious new power slumbering within Convoy’s Matrix, Convoy and Megatron meet for a one‑on‑one showdown. Convoy musters his courage and slugs Megatron with a mighty punch, but Megatron responds by catching him in a crushing “Dread Ball” hold and blasting him at point‑blank range, leaving the Cybertron Supreme Commander badly damaged and apparently defeated.

:'''''Cybertron Cyberjet Team Appears'''''

As the war escalates, the Autobots deploy their own elite Cyberjet unit—Jetfire and his comrades—whose high‑speed aerial capabilities are highlighted as a new trump card for the Cybertron forces.

====Part 5====

:''Published:'' '''December, 1995'''

:'''''Birth of the New Supreme Commander Battle Convoy!'''''

After a great battle, Optimus Prime was defeated by Megatron. Luckily, the [[Spark|spirit]]s of past Autobot commanders dwelling within the Matrix of Leadership activated the [[Reconfiguration Matrix]] and resurrected Optimus Prime as Battle Convoy, powering him up with a new body in the process. Battle Convoy's power vastly exceeded that of Megatron's. With his new weapon, the [[Cybertonium]] Sword, Battle Convoy crushed Megatron's fusion cannon and rose victorious.

Entering a diagnostic of Battle Convoy's new body, it is explained that the new property of the Matrix discovered by the research team, the Reconfiguration Matrix, has the ability to reformat Prime based on the need of the situation. Battle Convoy's new Laser Rod body features the following stats:

Height: 13 meters
Weight: 13.5 tons

{{note|The events of "Birth of the New Supreme Commander Battle Convoy!" are retold in the [[Transformers: G-2 (pack-in manga)|''G-2'' pack-in comic]] issue #13.}}
{{-}}

====Part 6====

[[File:G2StoryPage6ab.jpg|thumb|225px]]

:''Published:'' '''February, 1996'''

:'''''Cybertron Great Victory!!'''''

With Battle Convoy leading the charge, the Cybertron army launches a full‑scale offensive that finally drives Megatron and his Destron forces into retreat. Cyberjets, Laser Rods, and other allies bombard Destron troops on land and in space, leaving Megatron’s once‑mighty armada in ruins and raising the question of whether true peace will at last return to the universe.

:'''''Battle Convoy vs. Megatron’s New Offensive'''''
Megatron joins forces with the stealth fighter Dreadwing to annihilate the Cybertrons and expand the renewed G‑2 war into outer space. Battle Convoy rallies the Cybertron forces—Jetfire’s Cyberjets, the Laser Rod team, and other warriors—to oppose Megatron’s plan, resolving that the united Cybertrons will defend Earth and the cosmos from the Destron emperor’s ambitions

====Part 7====
[[File:G-2StoryPageFinalPanel01.jpg|thumb|225px]]

:''Published:'' '''February, 1996'''

:'''''The Autobots Triumph in the Battle of Good Vs. Evil!'''''

Now understanding the threat of Battle Convoy, Megatron attacks the Autobot headquarters with full force. Battle Convoy challenges Megatron to the [[Heavy Metal War|"Law of Cybertron"]], in which the loser and his forces must retreat to deep space forever. After a grueling fight, Battle Convoy narrowly triumphs. Megatron and the Decepticons retreat to deep space as the badly injured Battle Convoy hobbles off with the aid of Electro and Volt.

Transformers: G-2 (story page)

2026-01-19T23:06:41Z

Cgenro: /* Part 5 */

{{nav-JG2}}
The primary '''''Transformers: G-2''''' [[story page]]s ran in ''[[TV Magazine]]'' from August 1995 to February 1996. The storyline was written by [[Hidetsugu Yoshioka]] and, aside from a few CG rendered characters, also illustrated by him.

The ''G-2'' story pages continued from where the ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Operation Combination (story page)|Operation Combination]]'' storyline left off, taking place within the [[Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity|universe of the TV series]]. The ''G-2'' story pages were supplemented by the [[Transformers: G-2 (pack-in manga)|''G-2'' pack-in comics]], which often expanded upon particular battles.

==''TV Magazine''==
===Issues===
====Part 1====

:''Published:'' '''August, 1995'''

:'''''Confrontation of The Autobots and the Decepticons!'''''

The [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s are (re)introduced. [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]], now in a new tank body, has the power to manipulate black holes to create the "Black Hole Burn" attack. He yearns to steal the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] and conquer the galaxy. [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]], now in a missile trailer body, wields the Matrix, which has the power to upgrade all Transformers with new bodies and powers. His attacks are the "Matrix Saturn" and "Gatling Impact Laser"

:'''''A Gathering of Fighting Robots'''''

The [[Laser Rod]] teams ([[Electro]], [[Volt]], [[Sizzle (G2)|Sizzle]] and [[Jolt (G2)|Jolt]]) and the [[Cyberjet]] teams ([[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]], [[Aero Raid]], [[Strafe (G2)|Strafe]], [[Hooligan (G2)|Hooligan]], [[Space Case (G2)|Space Case]], and [[Skyjack (G2)|Skyjack]]), the newest additions to the Autobots and Decepticons, are introduced.

{{note|This single story page does not feature art by Hidetsugu Yoshioka. Instead, it boasts CG renderings of Optimus Prime and Megatron battling in a live action setting with actors running around screaming.}}

====Part 2====

:''Published:'' '''September, 1995'''

:'''''G-2 World Genesis: The Six Secrets of the Transformers Completely Explained!!'''''

The origins of the Transformers are covered in six easy steps, going from their creation by the [[Quintesson]]s all the way to the present, with new and mysterious Transformers waiting to be introduced.

:'''''Scoop: Optimus Prime's Strengthening Project Brought to Light!!'''''

Optimus Prime has had [[The many deaths of Optimus Prime|many deaths]] and many [[new body|bodies]] over the years. Presented here is a chart of his deaths, resurrections and various appearances up through his new missile trailer mode. But he has a new, mysterious form looming on the horizon. Also included is a smaller chart featuring the many forms of Megatron.

====Part 3====
[[File:G2AllianceBeginsAndEnds.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]

:''Published:'' '''October, 1995'''

:'''''The Mysterious Stealth Aircraft Dreadwing is a Decepticon!'''''

The mysterious new warrior known as [[Dreadwing (G2)|Dreadwing]] has allied himself with the Decepticons. However, Dreadwing, a pacifist by nature, has been manipulated by [[Smokescreen (G2)|Smokescreen]]. They intend to obliterate all the warring robots in order to bring peace to the galaxy.

:'''''Autobots vs. Decepticons: Combat Secrets'''''

After his sanity circuits were repaired, Megatron and Optimus Prime adopted [[Action Master]] bodies and formed the [[Cybertron Alliance]] to bring peace to the galaxy. However, Megatron began to believe that if he were sole ruler of the galaxy, he would achieve peace through tyranny. He was eventually pushed over the edge when [[human]] soldiers killed a [[Kiloton|close friend of Megatron's]], unprovoked. Megatron then took on a new tank mode, leaving Prime to adopt a missile trailer mode. And so, the G-2 wars began.

====Part 4====

[[File:G2StoryPage4ab.jpg|thumb|240px]]

:''Published:'' '''November, 1995'''

:'''''Convoy’s Counterattack! The Cybertron Army’s Supreme Commander Is Taken Out!'''''

As Jetfire and the Cybertron science team uncover a mysterious new power slumbering within Convoy’s Matrix, Convoy and Megatron meet for a one‑on‑one showdown. Convoy musters his courage and slugs Megatron with a mighty punch, but Megatron responds by catching him in a crushing “Dread Ball” hold and blasting him at point‑blank range, leaving the Cybertron Supreme Commander badly damaged and apparently defeated.

:'''''Cybertron Cyberjet Team Appears'''''

As the war escalates, the Autobots deploy their own elite Cyberjet unit—Jetfire and his comrades—whose high‑speed aerial capabilities are highlighted as a new trump card for the Cybertron forces.

====Part 5====

:''Published:'' '''December, 1995'''

:'''''Birth of the New Supreme Commander Battle Convoy!'''''

After a great battle, Optimus Prime was defeated by Megatron. Luckily, the [[Spark|spirit]]s of past Autobot commanders dwelling within the Matrix of Leadership activated the [[Reconfiguration Matrix]] and resurrected Optimus Prime as Battle Convoy, powering him up with a new body in the process. Battle Convoy's power vastly exceeded that of Megatron's. With his new weapon, the [[Cybertonium]] Sword, Battle Convoy crushed Megatron's fusion cannon and rose victorious.

Entering a diagnostic of Battle Convoy's new body, it is explained that the new property of the Matrix discovered by the research team, the Reconfiguration Matrix, has the ability to reformat Prime based on the need of the situation. Battle Convoy's new Laser Rod body features the following stats:

Height: 13 meters
Weight: 13.5 tons

{{note|The events of "Birth of the New Supreme Commander Battle Convoy!" are retold in the [[Transformers: G-2 (pack-in manga)|''G-2'' pack-in comic]] issue #13.}}

====Part 6====

[[File:G2StoryPage6ab.jpg|thumb|225px]]

:''Published:'' '''February, 1996'''

:'''''Cybertron Great Victory!!'''''

With Battle Convoy leading the charge, the Cybertron army launches a full‑scale offensive that finally drives Megatron and his Destron forces into retreat. Cyberjets, Laser Rods, and other allies bombard Destron troops on land and in space, leaving Megatron’s once‑mighty armada in ruins and raising the question of whether true peace will at last return to the universe.

:'''''Battle Convoy vs. Megatron’s New Offensive'''''
Megatron joins forces with the stealth fighter Dreadwing to annihilate the Cybertrons and expand the renewed G‑2 war into outer space. Battle Convoy rallies the Cybertron forces—Jetfire’s Cyberjets, the Laser Rod team, and other warriors—to oppose Megatron’s plan, resolving that the united Cybertrons will defend Earth and the cosmos from the Destron emperor’s ambitions

====Part 7====
[[File:G-2StoryPageFinalPanel01.jpg|thumb|225px]]

:''Published:'' '''February, 1996'''

:'''''The Autobots Triumph in the Battle of Good Vs. Evil!'''''

Now understanding the threat of Battle Convoy, Megatron attacks the Autobot headquarters with full force. Battle Convoy challenges Megatron to the [[Heavy Metal War|"Law of Cybertron"]], in which the loser and his forces must retreat to deep space forever. After a grueling fight, Battle Convoy narrowly triumphs. Megatron and the Decepticons retreat to deep space as the badly injured Battle Convoy hobbles off with the aid of Electro and Volt.

Megatron joins forces with the stealth fighter Dreadwing to annihilate the Cybertrons and expand the renewed G‑2 war into outer space. Battle Convoy rallies the Cybertron forces—Jetfire’s Cyberjets, the Laser Rod team, and other warriors—to oppose Megatron’s plan, resolving that the united Cybertrons will defend Earth and the cosmos from the Destron emperor’s ambitions

The mysterious new warrior known as [[Dreadwing (G2)|Dreadwing]] has allied himself with the Decepticons. However, Dreadwing, a pacifist by nature, has been manipulated by [[Smokescreen (G2)|Smokescreen]]. They intend to obliterate all the warring robots in order to bring peace to the galaxy.

:'''''Autobots vs. Decepticons: Combat Secrets'''''

After his sanity circuits were repaired, Megatron and Optimus Prime adopted [[Action Master]] bodies and formed the [[Cybertron Alliance]] to bring peace to the galaxy. However, Megatron began to believe that if he were sole ruler of the galaxy, he would achieve peace through tyranny. He was eventually pushed over the edge when [[human]] soldiers killed a [[Kiloton|close friend of Megatron's]], unprovoked. Megatron then took on a new tank mode, leaving Prime to adopt a missile trailer mode. And so, the G-2 wars began.

An Autobot research team, led by [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] and including [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] and [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]], discovered new properties of the Matrix. As it turns out, the Matrix is a torrent of powerful energy which can give all Transformers super powers.

However, a one-on-one showdown between Optimus Prime and Megatron had begun. Megatron had sworn to take the Matrix from Prime and use it to his own ends. Prime fought valiantly against Megatron, fending off his foe's attacks with his "Double Wheel-Torque Mega-Ton" attack. Unfortunately, Megatron's [[fusion cannon]] triumphed over Prime, killing him.

Battle Convoy's power vastly exceeded that of Megatron's. With his new weapon, the [[Cybertonium]] Sword, Battle Convoy crushed Megatron's fusion cannon and rose victorious.

Entering a diagnostic of Battle Convoy's new body, it is explained that the new property of the Matrix discovered by the research team, the Reconfiguration Matrix, has the ability to reformat Prime based on the need of the situation. Battle Convoy's new Laser Rod body features the following stats:

Transformers: G-2 (story page)

Cgenro: /* Part 4 */

{{nav-JG2}}
The primary '''''Transformers: G-2''''' [[story page]]s ran in ''[[TV Magazine]]'' from August 1995 to February 1996. The storyline was written by [[Hidetsugu Yoshioka]] and, aside from a few CG rendered characters, also illustrated by him.

The ''G-2'' story pages continued from where the ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Operation Combination (story page)|Operation Combination]]'' storyline left off, taking place within the [[Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity|universe of the TV series]]. The ''G-2'' story pages were supplemented by the [[Transformers: G-2 (pack-in manga)|''G-2'' pack-in comics]], which often expanded upon particular battles.

===Issues===
====Part 1====

:''Published:'' '''August, 1995'''

:'''''Confrontation of The Autobots and the Decepticons!'''''

The [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s are (re)introduced. [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]], now in a new tank body, has the power to manipulate black holes to create the "Black Hole Burn" attack. He yearns to steal the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] and conquer the galaxy. [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]], now in a missile trailer body, wields the Matrix, which has the power to upgrade all Transformers with new bodies and powers. His attacks are the "Matrix Saturn" and "Gatling Impact Laser"

:'''''A Gathering of Fighting Robots'''''

The [[Laser Rod]] teams ([[Electro]], [[Volt]], [[Sizzle (G2)|Sizzle]] and [[Jolt (G2)|Jolt]]) and the [[Cyberjet]] teams ([[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]], [[Aero Raid]], [[Strafe (G2)|Strafe]], [[Hooligan (G2)|Hooligan]], [[Space Case (G2)|Space Case]], and [[Skyjack (G2)|Skyjack]]), the newest additions to the Autobots and Decepticons, are introduced.

{{note|This single story page does not feature art by Hidetsugu Yoshioka. Instead, it boasts CG renderings of Optimus Prime and Megatron battling in a live action setting with actors running around screaming.}}

====Part 2====

:''Published:'' '''September, 1995'''

:'''''G-2 World Genesis: The Six Secrets of the Transformers Completely Explained!!'''''

The origins of the Transformers are covered in six easy steps, going from their creation by the [[Quintesson]]s all the way to the present, with new and mysterious Transformers waiting to be introduced.

:'''''Scoop: Optimus Prime's Strengthening Project Brought to Light!!'''''

Optimus Prime has had [[The many deaths of Optimus Prime|many deaths]] and many [[new body|bodies]] over the years. Presented here is a chart of his deaths, resurrections and various appearances up through his new missile trailer mode. But he has a new, mysterious form looming on the horizon. Also included is a smaller chart featuring the many forms of Megatron.

====Part 3====
[[File:G2AllianceBeginsAndEnds.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4]]

:''Published:'' '''October, 1995'''

:'''''The Mysterious Stealth Aircraft Dreadwing is a Decepticon!'''''

The mysterious new warrior known as [[Dreadwing (G2)|Dreadwing]] has allied himself with the Decepticons. However, Dreadwing, a pacifist by nature, has been manipulated by [[Smokescreen (G2)|Smokescreen]]. They intend to obliterate all the warring robots in order to bring peace to the galaxy.

:'''''Autobots vs. Decepticons: Combat Secrets'''''

After his sanity circuits were repaired, Megatron and Optimus Prime adopted [[Action Master]] bodies and formed the [[Cybertron Alliance]] to bring peace to the galaxy. However, Megatron began to believe that if he were sole ruler of the galaxy, he would achieve peace through tyranny. He was eventually pushed over the edge when [[human]] soldiers killed a [[Kiloton|close friend of Megatron's]], unprovoked. Megatron then took on a new tank mode, leaving Prime to adopt a missile trailer mode. And so, the G-2 wars began.

====Part 4====
:''Published:'' '''November, 1995'''

:'''''The Cybertron Army’s Supreme Commander Has Been Defeated!'''''

While Jetfire and the Cybertron science team investigate Optimus Prime’s Matrix and discover a mysterious new power hidden within it, Optimus and Megatron engage in a one‑on‑one duel. Megatron ambushes Prime from behind with his “Dread Ball” hold, brutally pummelling him in an attempt to seize the Matrix, and leaves the Cybertron Supreme Commander critically damaged and seemingly defeated.

:'''''Cybertron Cyberjet Team Appears'''''

As the war escalates, the Autobots deploy their own elite Cyberjet unit—Jetfire and his comrades—whose high‑speed aerial capabilities are highlighted as a new trump card for the Cybertron forces.

====Part 5====
[[File:G2StoryPageWheeljackPerceptor1.jpg|thumb|240px]]

:''Published:'' '''December, 1995'''

:'''''Optimus Prime of the Autobots has Fallen!'''''

An Autobot research team, led by [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] and including [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] and [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]], discovered new properties of the Matrix. As it turns out, the Matrix is a torrent of powerful energy which can give all Transformers super powers.

However, a one-on-one showdown between Optimus Prime and Megatron had begun. Megatron had sworn to take the Matrix from Prime and use it to his own ends. Prime fought valiantly against Megatron, fending off his foe's attacks with his "Double Wheel-Torque Mega-Ton" attack. Unfortunately, Megatron's [[fusion cannon]] triumphed over Prime, killing him.

{{note|The events of "Optimus Prime of the Autobots has Fallen!" are retold in the [[Transformers: G-2 (pack-in manga)|''G-2'' pack-in comic]] issue #13.}}

:'''''The Cyberjets Have Defected to the Autobot Forces!'''''

After serving the Decepticons, three members of the Cyberjets have chosen to battle alongside the Autobots. They are Jetfire, Aero Raid and Strafe.

====Part 6====
[[File:G2PrimeJustice.jpg|thumb|225px]]

:''Published:'' '''January, 1996'''

:'''''Birth of the New Supreme Commander Battle Convoy!'''''

After a great battle, Optimus Prime was defeated by Megatron. Luckily, the [[Spark|spirit]]s of past Autobot commanders dwelling within the Matrix of Leadership activated the [[Reconfiguration Matrix]] and resurrected Optimus Prime as Battle Convoy, powering him up with a new body in the process. Battle Convoy's power vastly exceeded that of Megatron's. With his new weapon, the [[Cybertonium]] Sword, Battle Convoy crushed Megatron's fusion cannon and rose victorious.

Entering a diagnostic of Battle Convoy's new body, it is explained that the new property of the Matrix discovered by the research team, the Reconfiguration Matrix, has the ability to reformat Prime based on the need of the situation. Battle Convoy's new Laser Rod body features the following stats:

Height: 13 meters
Weight: 13.5 tons

{{note|The events of "Birth of the New Supreme Commander Battle Convoy!" are retold in the [[Transformers: G-2 (pack-in manga)|''G-2'' pack-in comic]] issue #13.}}

====Part 7====
[[File:G-2StoryPageFinalPanel01.jpg|thumb|225px]]

:''Published:'' '''February, 1996'''

:'''''The Autobots Triumph in the Battle of Good Vs. Evil!'''''

Now understanding the threat of Battle Convoy, Megatron attacks the Autobot headquarters with full force. Battle Convoy challenges Megatron to the [[Heavy Metal War|"Law of Cybertron"]], in which the loser and his forces must retreat to deep space forever. After a grueling fight, Battle Convoy narrowly triumphs. Megatron and the Decepticons retreat to deep space as the badly injured Battle Convoy hobbles off with the aid of Electro and Volt.

==Notes==
*Though Megatron has been vanquished, the Japanese ''G-2'' storyline does not end here! Ten years later, through tech spec bios and pack-in comics written by [[Hirofumi Ichikawa]] and drawn by [[Hidetsugu Yoshioka]], [[e-HOBBY]] revived and continued the storyline.
**''G-2'' continues in the [[Galvatron II]] bio, where a Galvatron from [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|an alternate reality]] travels to this timeline, intending to conquer the universe with his fleet of [[Warworld]]s.
**Next, in the [[Laser Rod]] [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] bio, Ultra Magnus uses the [[Reconfiguration Matrix]] within the [[Matrix of Leadership]] to resurrect himself in a new body with which to counter Galvatron II.
**The "[[Hybrid Style Convoy Black Version]]" pack-in comic takes place next, with Optimus Prime donning a new [[Black body (technology)|Black body]] form to rescue Ultra Magnus from Galvatron II.
**Then, in the "[[MP-1B Cybertron Commander / Convoy Black Ver.]]" pack-in comics, Wheeljack and [[Ga'mede]] use the Black Body technology to create an army of Optimus Prime clones called "[[Eldedroid]]s" to battle the renewed Decepticon forces, now lead by Galvatron II (Megatron being deposed as leader).
**And then in "[[MP-3G Destron Air Commander / Starscream Ghost Ver.]]", the Autobots fight a time-displaced [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|ghost Starscream]].
*The post-''G-2'' storyline would then lay fallow for a few years until [[Hayato Sakamoto]]'s ''[[Transformers Legends (comic)|Legends]]'' and ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'' stories continued the events of the late 2030s.

Cgenro: /* Featured characters */

{{nav-JG2}}
The primary '''''Transformers: G-2''''' [[story page]]s ran in ''[[TV Magazine]]'' from August 1995 to February 1996. The storyline was written by [[Hidetsugu Yoshioka]] and, aside from a few CG rendered characters, also illustrated by him.

The ''G-2'' story pages continued from where the ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Operation Combination (story page)|Operation Combination]]'' storyline left off, taking place within the [[Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity|universe of the TV series]]. The ''G-2'' story pages were supplemented by the [[Transformers: G-2 (pack-in manga)|''G-2'' pack-in comics]], which often expanded upon particular battles.

After a great battle, Optimus Prime was defeated by Megatron.

Battle Convoy's power vastly exceeded that of Megatron's. With his new weapon, the [[Cybertonium]] Sword, Battle Convoy crushed Megatron's fusion cannon and rose victorious.

Entering a diagnostic of Battle Convoy's new body, it is explained that the new property of the Matrix discovered by the research team, the Reconfiguration Matrix, has the ability to reformat Prime based on the need of the situation. Battle Convoy's new Laser Rod body features the following stats:

Height: 13 meters
Weight: 13.5 tons

==Notes==
*Though Megatron has been vanquished, the Japanese ''G-2'' storyline does not end here! Ten years later, through tech spec bios and pack-in comics written by [[Hirofumi Ichikawa]] and drawn by [[Hidetsugu Yoshioka]], [[e-HOBBY]] revived and continued the storyline.
**''G-2'' continues in the [[Galvatron II]] bio, where a Galvatron from [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|an alternate reality]] travels to this timeline, intending to conquer the universe with his fleet of [[Warworld]]s.
**Next, in the [[Laser Rod]] [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] bio, Ultra Magnus uses the [[Reconfiguration Matrix]] within the [[Matrix of Leadership]] to resurrect himself in a new body with which to counter Galvatron II.
**The "[[Hybrid Style Convoy Black Version]]" pack-in comic takes place next, with Optimus Prime donning a new [[Black body (technology)|Black body]] form to rescue Ultra Magnus from Galvatron II.
**Then, in the "[[MP-1B Cybertron Commander / Convoy Black Ver.]]" pack-in comics, Wheeljack and [[Ga'mede]] use the Black Body technology to create an army of Optimus Prime clones called "[[Eldedroid]]s" to battle the renewed Decepticon forces, now lead by Galvatron II (Megatron being deposed as leader).
**And then in "[[MP-3G Destron Air Commander / Starscream Ghost Ver.]]", the Autobots fight a time-displaced [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|ghost Starscream]].
*The post-''G-2'' storyline would then lay fallow for a few years until [[Hayato Sakamoto]]'s ''[[Transformers Legends (comic)|Legends]]'' and ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'' stories continued the events of the late 2030s.
