'''Highbrow''' is an Autobot [[World War II]] fighter.

==Toys==
===''Transformers'' (2010)===
*'''Highbrow''' (Voyager Class, 2010/2011)
**''Accessories:'' 2 gatling guns

:Highbrow transforms into a World War II-era fighter resembling a cross between a [[wikipedia:Lockheed P-38 Lightning|P-38 Lightning]] and an [[wikipedia:Vought XF5U|XF5U "Flying Flapjack"]]. In robot mode he features a flip-down battle mask and is armed with two non-firing gatling guns and propellers on his forearms. Strangely, he doesn't feature a faction symbol in either mode.

==Notes==
*Highbrow's battle mask resembles the goggles and headgear of a WWII American fighter pilot. The lens of the goggles are made of a clear plastic, allowing one to see Highbrow's eyes when the mask is down.
*Highbrow also coincidentally resembles the [[Tonka]] [[Tonka GoBots|GoBot]] [http://www.tfu.info/Gobots/Guardians/Bolt/bolt.htm Bolt].

No.Is it not Maximus,it is`a Decepticon Ford Moder T from the Bonnie & Clyde`s past.For the detail info,wait for the Transformers:Sector 7 comics

[[Image:G1Snapdragon_boxart.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Surprisingly, mauling Daniel did not make him an instant fan favorite.]]
What [[Blot (G1)|Blot]] does through carelessness, '''Snapdragon''' does with deliberation. He loves nothing more than bathing in putrid grease pits or, if those aren't available, the running fuel from his victims' corpses. His bouts of animalistic fury and sheer love of destruction would make him an excellent warrior if not for the fact that he's also as lazy as the [[Empties]] in [[Dead End (place)|Dead End]]. His personal quarters are littered with alarm clocks shot to fragments by laser fire because Snapdragon just wasn't motivated to kill and maim that morning. His fellow Decepticons know they risk suffering a similar fate if they try to wake him, but often risk it in the hopes of channeling Snapdragon's rage towards the Autobots. Woe to the Autobot warrior who faces Snapdragon without his beauty rest. However, his lazy and appalling personal habits make him unwelcome among his fellow Decepticons, except for the equally thuggish [[Apeface]].

He is [[Binary bonding|binary bonded]] with [[Krunk]], who only adds to his thuggish personality.

[[Image:Snapdragon-Apeface.jpg|left|150px|thumb|"You smell, Snapdragon". "And you're annoying, Apeface." "Good point. Let's be friends."]]
Snapdragon was one of the newly recruited Decepticon animals who attacked [[Autobot City]] as a diversion, so that the [[Clone (subgroup)|Decepticon Clones]] could steal the Key to the [[Plasma Energy Chamber]]. After a quick game of "kick the can" with [[Freeway (G1)|Freeway]], Snapdragon retreated and joined [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]]'s unit in journeying to the Chamber, and then tracking the Autobots who recovered the Key to [[Nebulos]]. While there, he mauled [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]], unfortunately giving rise to the Autobot [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]]. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1}} When his leaders made a deal with the [[Hive (G1)|Hive]], Snapdragon gave up his head (well, one of them*) to be [[Binary bonding|binary-bonded]] to the Nebulan known as [[Krunk]]. {{Storylink|The Rebirth, Part 2}}

{{note|One of the many confusing glitches in "Rebirth" is the fact that, while Krunk is clearly designed to transform into both the robot and dragon heads, Snapdragon retains his dragon mode head even when Krunk is separated from him.}}
{{-}}

===Japanese cartoon continuity===
====''Headmasters'' cartoon====
:''Voice actor'': [[Kazuo Oka]]

Snapdragon and Apeface were loyal followers of Scorponok on the planet [[Master (planet)|Master]]. Before the Headmasters of Evil abandoned Master to join the Decepticons, the duo were captured and banished into the depths of space by [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress]] and his allies for their crimes. Sometime later, they were found and contacted by [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], who brought them into the Decepticon ranks. Snapdragon and Apeface accompanied "[[Sixshot|Galvatron]]" to [[Shangri-La Island]] for the peace talks with [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]]. Fighting broke out after the Autobots traveling with Spike learned Galvatron was a fake, and the Decepticons were planning to attack other energy storages in the universe. {{storylink|Daniel Faces His Biggest Crisis Ever!!}}

Snapdragon and Apeface joined Galvatron on his trek throughout the universe for more energy and quickly became his favorite warriors. When they invaded the hive world of [[Susei]], Galvatron took Sixshot and the Horrorcons with him and just told the other Headmasters to keep a light on for them. {{storylink|Fight to the Death on Susei!!}} They were also active on the [[Twin Star]] planets, searching in vain for more energy on [[Sperity]] when the Autobot Headmasters arrived. {{storylink|Battle for Defense of the False Planet}} On [[Darhos]], Apeface and Snapdragon were Galvatron's guests as he met with the corrupt governor, and they later joined Sixshot in a fight with the Headmasters. They were doing okay until [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]] and friends pulled out a 50-foot gun. It...didn't go well after that. {{storylink|Find MegaZarak's Weak Spot!!}} On the [[Pirate Planet]], the Horrorcons helped the [[Clone (subgroup)|Decepticon Clones]] recover the skull key from [[Fastlane]] and [[Cloudraker (G1)|Cloudraker]]. Snapdragon was also involved in Galvatron's efforts to use the key and raid the pirates' pyramid. {{storylink|Mystery of the Space Pirate Ship}}

As the Decepticons returned to Earth, Snapdragon and Apeface began working for Sixshot on Earth. They were assembled alongside the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] and [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]] to attack an Autobot energy facility in [[Miami]]. The duo fought the [[Monsterbot]] named [[Doublecross]], although he was almost too busy arguing with himself to notice. They later traveled to Autobot City and picked a fight with [[Raiden]], preventing him from entering the battle between Sixshot and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] that led to the Autobot City Commander's death. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus Dies!!}} Sixshot continued to employ Snapdragon and Apeface's services on Earth, as the Decepticons unleashed five simultaneous attacks on Autobot outposts on the planet. {{storylink|The Emperor of Destruction Vanishes on an Iceberg}}

As Scorponok abandoned Earth in favor of conquering [[Master (planet)|Master]], Snapdragon was one of his many troops seen attacking the planet's fortifications. After the Autobots arrived on Master, Apeface and Snapdragon were triple-teamed by the new [[Targetmaster]]s. Perhaps not considering the Horrorcons worthy of exerting their new powers, [[Pointblank]] and the Targetmasters spent the whole battle unarmed and in vehicle mode, and still royally smacked the chips out of the two Decepticons. {{storylink|Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 2)}} When the Decepticons kidnapped [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]], the Horrorcons stood guard outside the [[Scorponok (G1)|MegaZarak]] base. In vehicle mode, Chromedome and Danny zoomed right past them and up the ramp into the headquarters. Considering the rescue mission continued unmolested from then on, apparently Snapdragon and Apeface decided it was just a sudden wind that knocked them on their skidplates. {{storylink|The Master Sword Is in Danger!!}} Later, while Scorponok was finishing the final touches on his [[Zarak Shield]], Snapdragon and Apeface went with Sixshot on a diversionary patrol to keep the Autobots busy. {{storylink|The Zarak Shield Turns the Tide}} They also battled the Autobots on the asteroid [[Pallas]] while MegaZarak was undergoing repairs. {{storylink|Duel on the Asteroid}}

Snapdragon and Apeface returned to Earth with Scorponok for his final scheme to annihilate the planet using towers made of [[crysmag metal]]. As the Decepticons finished preparations for their fourth tower in Egypt, the Battleship Maximus arrived to put in an appearance. [[Weirdwolf]]'s trio was the first to intercept the battleship and engage the enemy, but Apeface and Snapdragon were quick to follow. Unfortunately, Weirdwolf was leading his men in a rather bizarre and unstable totem pole maneuver, which only got worse after the Horrorcons hopped on top of [[Mindwipe (G1)|Mindwipe]]. At that point, Fortress simply hit the gas, causing the "tower of power" to topple over the side. Snapdragon was also present at the final battle between the Autobots and Decepticons at the North Pole. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}

====Headmasters manga====
===Marvel Comics continuity===
[[Image:Nightbeatsnapdragon.jpg|right|160px|thumb|Snapdragon doesn't care for your Nightbeat love.]]
Snapdragon was a Triple Changer working for [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] when their chief opponents, [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] and his band, suddenly vanished off the face of the planet. They eventually found their enemies when Lord [[Zarak (Nebulan)|Zarak]] of [[Nebulos]] sent a [[subspace]] comm message to Cybertron, asking for help in ridding his world of the Autobots. Snapdragon and the others arrived on Nebulos, ready to destroy their enemies and plunder the planet for resources, taking Zarak and his band of followers prisoner in the process. After Fortress Maximus and his fellow warriors drove off Scorponok's crew with their new [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] powers, Scorponok arranged a deal with Zarak to binary bond his warriors with the captive Nebulans. Snapdragon was binary bonded to Zarak's personal bodyguard [[Krunk]]. {{Storylink|Headmasters (comic)|Headmasters}}

Snapdragon served under Scorponok during his command on Earth. When he was transported to Cybertron along with almost every other Transformer, he managed to survive the epic battle against [[Unicron]] and went on to serve under [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]].

He took part in Bludgeon's successful ambush of the Autobots on [[Klo]], only to have his head blown off soon after by [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]], in a counter-attack led by the newly-resurrected [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]. {{Storylink|End of the Road! (US)|End of the Road!}}

*'''Snapdragon with Krunk''' (1987)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''D-100'''

:Snapdragon transforms into a fighter jet with a really long front section, and also a 'reptile mode', which resembles a generic large theropod dinosaur. His jet mode has two detachable fins, while his reptile mode can have his two guns mounted on its back. His Headmaster partner, Krunk, is both his robot mode head and his reptile mode head (which is simply the robot mode head flipped on its back).

{{charstubtoys}}
==Trivia==
*According to [[Transformers: Call of the Future]], Snapdragon's reptilian alt mode is, in fact, a [[dragon]].
*The Spanish translation of the Headmasters cartoon presents some problems with Snapdragon's name. On Snapdragon's first appearance, Galvatron himself calls him '''"Zela"'''. (However, it's a bit hard to understand Galvatron; if you don't listen carefully, it sounds like he says '''"Zedda"''', which has caused further confusion.) Then Snapdragon presents himself as '''"Ozela"''', after which both the narrator and Chromedome call him '''"Zela"'''. Later, Hardhead calls him '''"Zedda"''', and finally, Galvatron calls him '''"Zela"''' again. This would seem to make '''"Zela"''' his official name, since it's used the most frequently. This is neither the first nor the last dubbing mistake in the series.
*In the Latin dub, he calls himself "El dragón indestructible" (the indestructible dragon).
*Snapdragon's creature mode was based on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godzilla| Godzilla]

[[Image:G1 Apeface boxart.jpg|right|250px|thumb|I will not hesitate to beat you to death with my own arm.]]
'''Apeface''' is a strong presence in any situation. He's loud, rude, obnoxious, and intimidating to everyone he meets. He dominates those around him with his attitude and fearsome countenance. There's some debate among his fellow Decepticons about how much of his behavior is an act, a gruesomely effective psychological tactic to control others and force them to fold under his demands. Others just think he was built that way. Whatever's going on inside Apeface's cerebral-circuitry, he's not saying. The only one he really gets along with is [[Snapdragon]].

As a [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]], he is [[Binary bonding|binary bonded]] to [[Spasma]]. Sucks to be Spasma.

Apeface appeared to be the leader of the "animals" under [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] and [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]]'s command. Or at least their spokesperson. Not that it matters, since when Apeface balked at a command to rip off his own head, Cyclonus <s>pimp-slapped</s> shot him and said "You will do as I say, or you will die!" Not way up there in the Decepticon hierarchy, Apeface is.

Accompanying the Decepticons to [[Nebulos]], Apeface was binary bonded to Spasma, who warned him not to get out of line. "We'll see who's boss," was Apeface's reply. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1}} {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 2}}

===Japanese cartoon continuity===
====''The Headmasters'' cartoon====
:''Voice actor'': [[Yūji Mikimoto]] (Japanese)

Apeface and Snapdragon were loyal followers of Scorponok on the planet [[Master (planet)|Master]]. Before the Headmasters of Evil abandoned Master to join the Decepticons, the duo were captured and banished into the depths of space by [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress]] and his allies for their crimes. Sometime later, they were found and contacted by [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], who brought them into the Decepticon ranks. Apeface and Snapdragon accompanied "[[Sixshot|Galvatron]]" to [[Shangri-La Island]] for the peace talks with [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]]. Fighting broke out after the Autobots traveling with Spike learned Galvatron was a fake, and the Decepticons were planning to attack other energy storages in the universe. Despite his fierce chest-pounding, Apeface was defeated by the Autobot Headmasters. {{storylink|Daniel Faces His Biggest Crisis Ever!!}}

Apeface and Snapdragon joined Galvatron on his trek throughout the universe for more energy, and quickly became his favorite warriors. When they invaded the hive world of [[Susei]], Galvatron took Sixshot and the Horrorcons with him, and just told the other Headmasters to keep a light on for them. {{storylink|Fight to the Death on Susei!!}} They were also active on the [[Twin Star]] planets, searching in vain for more energy on [[Sperity]] when the Autobot Headmasters arrived. Apeface managed to get in a little brawling, though, so the trip wasn't a total waste. {{storylink|Battle for Defense of the False Planet}} On [[Darhos]], Apeface and Snapdragon were Galvatron's guests as he met with the corrupt governor, and later joined Sixshot in a fight with the Headmasters. They were doing okay until [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]] and friends pulled out a 50 foot gun. It...didn't go well after that. {{storylink|Find MegaZarak's Weak Spot!!}} On the [[Pirate Planet]], the Horrorcons helped the [[Clone (subgroup)|Decepticon Clones]] recover the skull key from [[Fastlane]] and [[Cloudraker (G1)|Cloudraker]]. Apeface was also involved in Galvatron's efforts to use the key and raid the pirates' pyramid. {{storylink|Mystery of the Space Pirate Ship}}

As the Decepticons returned to Earth, Apeface and Snapdragon began working for Sixshot on Earth. They were assembled alongside the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcon]]s and [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticon]]s to attack an Autobot energy facility in [[Miami]]. The duo fought the [[Monsterbot]] named [[Doublecross]], although he was almost too busy arguing with himself to notice. They later traveled to Autobot City and picked a fight with [[Raiden]], preventing him from entering the battle between Sixshot and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] that led to the Autobot City Commander's death. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus Dies!!}} Sixshot continued to employ Apeface and Snapdragon's services on Earth, as the Decepticons unleashed five simultaneous attacks on Autobot outposts on the planet. {{storylink|The Emperor of Destruction Vanishes on an Iceberg}}

As Scorponok abandoned Earth in favor of conquering [[Master (planet)|Master]], Apeface was one of his many troops seen attacking the planet's fortifications. After the Autobots arrived on Master, Apeface and Snapdragon were triple-teamed by the new [[Targetmaster]]s. Perhaps not considering the Horrorcons worthy of exerting their new powers, [[Pointblank]] and the Targetmasters spent the whole battle unarmed and in vehicle mode, and still royally smacked the chips out of the two Decepticons. {{storylink|Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 2)}} When the Decepticons kidnapped [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]], the Horrorcons stood guard outside the [[Scorponok (G1)|MegaZarak]] base. In vehicle mode, Chromedome and Danny zoomed right past them and up the ramp into the headquarters. Considering the rescue mission continued unmolested from then on, apparently Apeface and Snapdragon decided it was just a sudden wind that knocked them on their skidplates. {{storylink|The Master Sword Is in Danger!!}} Later, while Scorponok was finishing the final touches on his [[Zarak Shield]], Apeface and Snapdragon went with Sixshot on a diversionary patrol to keep the Autobots busy. {{storylink|The Zarak Shield Turns the Tide}} They also battled the Autobots on the asteroid [[Pallas]] while MegaZarak was undergoing repairs. {{storylink|Duel on the Asteroid}}

Apeface and Snapdragon returned to Earth with Scorponok for his final scheme to annihilate the planet using towers made of [[crysmag metal]]. As the Decepticons finished preparations for their fourth tower in Egypt, Apeface received a communication from Soundblaster, who had spotted the Battleship Maximus approaching them from the Alps. Weirdwolf's trio was the first to intercept the battleship and engage the enemy, but Apeface and Snapdragon were quick to follow. Unfortunately, [[Weirdwolf]] was leading his men in a rather bizarre and unstable totem pole maneuver, which only got worse after the Horrorcons hopped on top of [[Mindwipe (G1)|Mindwipe]]. At that point, Fortress simply hit the gas, causing the "tower of power" to topple over the side. Apeface was also present at the final battle between the Autobots and Decepticons at the North Pole. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}

====''The Headmasters'' comic====

===Marvel Comics continuity===
On Cybertron, Apeface was among Scorponok's crew of Decepticons. When their Autobot foes left for the planet Nebulos, the Decepticons followed. {{storylink|Broken Glass!}}

Not long after their arrival, Apeface and his pal Snapdragon were having fun terrorizing the natives in the city of [[Splendora]], until they were easily dispatched by two Autobot Headmasters. Though Scorponok berated the two for their failure, this latest defeat proved enough for him to reconsider the merits of the Headmaster process. Soon, Apeface was one of six Decepticons who underwent binary-bonding with the organic Nebulans to become a Headmaster. {{storylink|Love and Steel!}}

He and the others continued to terrorize Nebulos until the Decepticons left for Earth, pursuing Fortress Maximus's Autobots yet again. {{storylink|Brothers in Armor!!}}

[[Image:Apeface smackdown.jpg|left|200px|thumb|He'll beat you with the oily end.]]
During the battle between Scorponok and [[Ratbat (G1)|Ratbat]]'s crews, Apeface learned a valuable truth about himself: while he isn't ''quite'' willing to rip off his own arm and beat someone to death with it, he's also not one to ignore an opportunity when it presents itself. [[Rampage (G1)|Rampage]] learned that the hard way. {{storylink|Cold War!}}

Apeface was quite amused by [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]'s surrender to Scorponok on Earth, considering it a regular comedy show. Until Kup punched him in the face. That shut him up. {{storylink|Surrender!}}

Apeface was teleported to Cybertron along with countless other Transformers, where he somehow found a tasty banana to keep himself occupied while [[Emirate Xaaron|some stupid Autobot]] yammered on about [[Unicron|dark gods]] and [[Primus|creators]] and stuff. {{storylink|The Void! (US)|The Void!}}

When the aforementioned dark god showed up at Cybertron a short while later, Apeface wasn't so amused. Like countless others, he fled in a panic. {{storylink|On the Edge of Extinction!}}

After the apocalyptic battle, Apeface's ruined form was seen among the dead. {{storylink|Still Life!|Still Life!}}

[[Image:ApefaceGrunk01.jpg|right|150px|thumb|GRUNK!]]

Ape Face {{sic}} was one of the last few Decepticons remaining behind on [[Tau-Ursa]] when the Autobots arrived. He was investigating a crashed spaceship when he found a voice recording. Deducing that if the tape spoke it must be important, he resolved to take it to [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]].

At this moment he was attacked by [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] and [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] who were intent on keeping him from escaping with the information. The triple changer loudly declared his intention to smash them (with a mighty cry of "GRUUUNK!"), and after knocking them to the ground similarly announced he was transforming into jet mode. He was too slow however, and Blurr seized his arm, prising the tape from his hand before escaping. This made him mad. {{storylink|The War Against the Destructons, Chapter 1 of 3}}

===Generation 1===
[[Image:G1 Apeface toy.jpg|right|180px|thumb|Not a bad toy for a guy whose Spanish name is "Wimpus".]]
*'''Apeface with Spasma''' (Headmaster Horrorcon, 1987)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''D-101'''
**''Accessories:'' Gun, shield, Spasma Headmaster partner

:Apeface turns into both a cybertronic jet and a robotic gorilla. Unlike [[Snapdragon]], Apeface's fighter jet mode only looks vaguely like an Earth jet, with his robot limbs hanging off the back of the vehicle in an obvious fashion. His Headmaster partner, Spasma, can ride inside the jet's cockpit. He can mount guns on either side of his vehicle mode, but for some reason only comes with one gun while Snapdragon came with two.

:As Apeface is a triple changer, Spasma similarly has triple functions, forming both the robot mode face and the gorilla mode face. This beast mode has a relatively wide range of articulation for a ''Generation 1'' beast, but has some minor problems with balance, which limits poses. Apeface's gorilla mode can be placed on all fours, but that results in his head staring at the ground.

:In robot mode, like all Headmaster toys, Apeface has a flip-down panel on his chest which covers a spring-loaded mini-[[Tech Spec|Tech-Spec]]-meter which gives readouts for Speed, Strength and Intelligence. The tumblers are activated when Spasma (or any other Headmaster unit) is plugged into his neck socket. Apeface is very back-heavy due to most of the fighter jet mode ending up on his back. The jet's vertical stabilisers detach to form a shield that can be held in Apeface's hands or attached to his shoulder.

{{-}}
==Trivia==
* In the Japanese ''[[The Headmasters (cartoon)|Headmasters]]'' series, Spasma does not exist as a separate entity from Apeface; like all Headmasters, the large robot is just a lifeless [[Transtector]] body controlled entirely by the head unit. However, Apeface's head unit is ''still'' called "Spasma" when separated from the larger robot body, even though it's the same guy!
*Apeface was the only character to use the word "puke" in the entirety of the original ''Transformers'' cartoon. That's got to be some kind of feat, right?
*In the Latin dub, he calls himself "El gorila invencible" (the invincible gorilla).
*Apeface's creature mode was based on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Kong| King Kong]

:''Buster is a [[human]] and [[Decepticon]] [[Godmaster]] from the [[Super-God Masterforce (franchise)|Super-God Masterforce]] portion of the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Buster masterforce.jpg|right|210px|thumb|Buster? He hardly knew 'er!]]
Hailing from East [[Germany]], '''Buster''' was a deejay before he and his older brother, [[Hydra (Masterforce)|Hydra]] were recruited by the [[Decepticon|Decepticons]]. He is an enigmatic sort who does not really have much of a personality of his own, instead serving as a (vaguely creepy) extension of his brother's whim, following his lead in combat and turning to him for direction in all things. While Buster is not nearly as cruel and detached as the sociopathic Hydra, he remains a fearsome fighter of great power.

As a [[Godmaster]], Buster is bonded to a [[Transtector]] from the [[G Nebula 89|G Nebula]], which he can combine with his brother’s Transtector to form the giant jet [[Darkwings]]. Like all Godmasters, Buster can manipulate [[Chōkon Power]], with his specialty being the control of wind. Additionally, Buster possesses an affinity for birds, owning some and even being able to convey his thoughts to them.

===Cartoon continuity===
====''Super-God Masterforce'' cartoon====
:''Voice actor:'' [[Yoku Shioya]] (Japanese)

[[Image:Buster armor.jpg|left|160px|thumb|Yea that's right, give the scary German kid an exo-suit. That sounds like a good idea.]]
Buster and Hydra were in North America when they were approached by [[Giga]] and [[Mega]], agents of the Decepticon leader [[Devil Z]], and bonded to a pair of Transtectors that had taken the forms of jet planes. {{storylink|A Hero Is Chosen - His Name Is Ginrai}} The brothers were brought to a hidden island, where they were trained in the use of their new Godmaster powers until it was decided that they join up with the rest of the Decepticons already operating under the command of [[Blood]]. Blood's [[Pretender]]s and [[Headmaster Junior]]s were summoned to the island, where Buster and Hydra, disguised in suits of medieval armor, promptly attacked and bested them as a demonstration of their powers. Blood bristled at the notion that two humans could be stronger than true Decepticons, and challenged the two Godmasters to prove themselves by attacking the [[Mt Fuji Foothills Hang Gliding Competition Tournament]]. It just so happened that the [[Autobot]] Headmaster Juniors were participating in the contest, leading to a battle between the Godmaster brothers and the Autobot Pretenders. Although they had their Autobot foes massively overpowered, the arrival of [[Metalhawk]] left them outnumbered, and the brothers opted to withdraw. {{storylink|Super Warriors - The Godmaster Brothers}} Buster and Hydra next went into battle when the Decepticons attacked the tidal power plant on [[Karin Islands|Viscas Island]], but the battle was brought to an end when the Autobot [[Diver (Masterforce)|Diver]] was able to lodge his Sea Axe in Buster’s arm. Unable to heal the wound, Buster panicked and Hydra called retreat. Once they returned to the Decepticon base, Buster cursed himself, believing that he was less powerful than his brother. {{storylink|A Fierce Battle!! The Autobots Are in Trouble}}

[[Image:Hydra and buster human.jpg|right|225px|thumb|Tori Amos and Dwight Schrute, on the lam.]]
When Mega and Giga revealed that there were other Godmaster on Earth, Buster and Hydra were charged with locating them before the Autobots did. Hydra decided that they would search North America first, on the basis that it was where they became Godmasters themselves, and with a little help from the Headmaster Juniors, the brothers were soon on the trail of a mysterious truck that had been rumoured to be able to heal any damage to itself. The brothers found the truck crashed at the bottom of a cliff along with the Autobot Diver, but when they attempted to take it, the truck's driver, [[Ginrai]], revealed that he was indeed a Godmaster, and that that truck was his Transtector, by transforming to robot mode for the first time. Shocked by what they had witnessed, Buster and Hydra retreated. {{storylink|A Hero Is Chosen - His Name Is Ginrai}} Before long, however, the brothers were back on Ginrai's trail, and attacked numerous tractor trailers in their search for him, killing many of Ginrai's trucker friends before finally locating him. Buster held off the other Autobots while Hydra battled Ginrai, but the brothers were ultimately bested once more. {{storylink|Ginrai: God On of Rage!!}}

When [[Cancer]] was captured by the Autobots for interrogation, Buster and Hydra arrived to retrieve him. The Autobots released their prisoner, but Hydra immediately discovered a homing beacon planted on Cancer's shirt, and attacked the Autobots in retribution. During the fight, Buster seized the Autobot [[Minerva]] and placed his blaster to her head, only to have Cancer snatch her away, begging that nobody be killed. This distraction turned the tide of the battle and forced the villains to fall back. {{storylink|A Strange Friendship: Cancer and Minerva}} Things didn't go much better during the brothers' next battle with Ginrai, at Mount Yatsugatake in Nagano, where the brothers were blasted by Ginrai's newly-obtained trailer. {{storylink|Friend or Foe!? The True Form of the Monster!!}}

[[Image:Buster robotmode.jpg|left|260px|thumb|Oh great, now you gave him a giant robot-exo-suit of mass destruction with a huge gun. That sounds like a great idea.]]
Hungry for revenge, Buster and Hydra were not content simply with destroying Ginrai, but also sought to discredit him and the Autobots into the bargain. Luring Ginrai into a battle in a city, the brothers loudly blamed him for starting the battle so that the population could overhear, and then summoned some [[Lobclaw]] [[Seacon (Masterforce)|Seacons]] to finish the Autobot off. Luckily, Diver and [[Lander]] arrived to deal with the Seacons, and the enraged Ginrai unleashed a blast of Chōkon Power that saw the villains off. {{storylink|Eliminate the Godmaster Ginrai}}

Learning that Ginrai had appeared on a television show in an attempt to find the remaining Godmasters on Earth, Buster and Hydra tried menacing a producer at the TV station in order to find out what Ginrai had learned from the correspondence that had come in. The tactic had no luck, so they resorted to searching the continent with the help of the Pretenders; the Pretenders later found Ginrai in [[Canada]], but were unable to stop the next Godmaster, [[Lightfoot]] from joining the Autobots. {{storylink|Lightfoot: A Dramatic Encounter}} After this failure, the Decepticons were even more determined to recruit the next Godmaster, a Canadian forest patrolman named [[Ranger]]. During the battle with the Autobots that resulted in the Rocky Mountains, however, Buster and Hydra were left badly outnumbered and had to flee when the Headmaster Juniors abandoned them out of spite after they carelessly put [[Wilder]] in danger in their zeal to destroy Ginrai. {{storylink|An Enemy? The Third Godmaster, Ranger}}

[[Image:Buster armless.jpg|right|225px|thumb|Buster had always thought that "disarmed" was just a figure of speech.]]
Buster and Hydra stepped back from the front lines for a short time, instead trying their hand at formulating a plan for the Pretenders to carry out. This outlandish plot to capture doctors was soon botched, much to their distaste, {{storylink|Save the Little Girl! The Chōjin Warriors, the Godmasters}} and they again took an active hand in matters, starting with a scheme to divide and conquer the Autobot Godmasters, starting with Lightfoot. Hydra put his makeup talents to use disguising himself and Buster as reporters so that they could get close to Lightfoot's father [[Leftfoot]] and take him prisoner. The brothers sent a message to Lightfoot, who was faced with the choice of either joining the Autobots or having his [[Master-Brace|Master-Braces]] (and hands!) cut off, but luckily, the other Autobot Godmasters soon arrived to help give the Darkwings Brothers one of their most severe beatings yet. When Buster's arm was actually torn off, the horrified Hydra called retreat, but they weren't above spitefully blowing up some factory buildings as they left. {{storylink|Life? Death? Lightfoot Must Choose}}

After serving as chauffeurs for Mega when she was posing as a fortune teller, {{storylink|Expose the Decepticons' Dark Deception!}} Buster and Hydra were next charged with destroying Ginrai's trailer. By posing as a movie producer, Hydra was able to lure Ginrai into a desert under auspices of performing some stunt-driving, while Buster planted the explosive charges that would be used in the stunt. A hidden, extra charge separated Ginrai from his trailer, and the brothers combined into Darkwings in an attempt to destroy the latter component. Before they could strike, Ginrai merged with his trailer and blew the villains out of the air with his Special Fire Guts attack. Ginrai was, however, subsequently badly wounded by Giga and Mega's combined form, [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]], {{storylink|Super Ginrai Gets Blown Away in the Desert!?}} and the brothers decided to strike while the Autobots were a man down by attempting to destroy the [[Godbomber]] drone the heroes were in the midst of constructing. The brothers were duped into following a disguised truck into the nearby mountains, thinking that it was carrying Godbomber, when in fact, it was simply the Autobot, [[Road King]], who joined with Ranger and Lightfoot in beating the brothers to a pulp. {{storylink|Will the Bomber Project Be Destroyed!?}}

[[Image:Buster and hydra robots.jpg|left|250px|thumb|]]
In the next attempt to destroy Godbomber, Buster and Hydra attacked a Middle-East oil refinery in order to draw the Autobots out, only to be met with failure once more. {{storylink|Overlord - Terror of the Chōkon Tornado}} The Decepticons tried yet again, this time by separating Godbomber from Ginrai and having Buster and Hydra target the unprotected drone. With a little help from [[Sixknight]], however, the Autobot Headmaster Juniors discovered that they were able to pilot Godbomber and personally took out Buster. {{storylink|Destroy Godbomber!!}}

When the final Godmaster, [[Clouder]], joined the Decepticons, the villains installed him within the Autobot ranks as a spy, who fed them inside information on the Autobots' base. Buster and Hydra proceeded to attack a nearby city in order to occupy the attentions of Ginrai and the Godmasters while the rest of the Decepticons initiated an all-out attack on the Autobots' headquarters {{storylink|Secret Orders! Destroy the Autobot Base!!}} and although the brothers were eventually defeated, the larger plan to destroy the base succeeded. {{storylink|Disaster! The Autobot Base Explodes}}

Soon thereafter, when BlackZarak arrived on Earth, Buster and Hydra traveled into space with the rest of the Decepticons when the villain prepared to unleash the unholy [[Death Para-Machine|Death-Para Machine]] upon the [[Earth]]. {{storylink|Crisis! The Day of the Downfall of Humanity}} Later, they battled Lightfoot in northern Europe, {{storylink|God Ginrai - Save Cancer!?}} and when the Autobots attacked the Decepticon base in force, clashed with Ginrai and the Godmasters, until Devil Z brought the battle to an end by fusing with BlackZarak and collapsing the base into an undersea chasm. {{storylink|The Ultimate Combination!! BlackZarak, the New Lifeform}}

[[Image:Hydra buster roboticized.jpg|right|210px|thumb|]]
Frustrated by their numerous defeats at the hands of Ginrai, Buster demanded to know why they were unable to best their Autobot opponent. Hydra opined that he and Buster were weakened by their humanity, and the brothers petitioned Devil Z to use his powers to transform them into true robots. The evil being complied, fusing the brothers with their Transtectors and replacing their Jinchōkon Power—lost to them along with their humanity—with his own [[Devil Power]]. The Darkwings Brothers attacked Ginrai in the Grand Canyon, and Ginrai, appalled at what they had done to themselves, called upon his God Fire Guts attack. The brothers responded by diving at Ginrai in a flaming "Hellfire Attack", resulting in a huge explosion when the attacks collided. The battered brothers limped away from the battle, declaring it a draw. {{storylink|Battle to the Death!! God Ginrai VS Darkwings Reborn}} While Ginrai then went on to battle Overlord, Buster and Hydra attacked Lightfoot and Road King, trapping them in a cave. They then took on the Autobot Headmaster Juniors, almost cutting off Shūta's arms before Ginrai returned and saw them off. {{storylink|Autobots! Desperate Attack!!}}

[[Image:Hydra buster punished.jpg|left|180px|thumb|]]
During the final conflict on the Matterhorn, Buster and Hydra unveiled the mightiest weapon in their arsenal, the "Mach X Flight", allowing them to move faster than the eye could follow. They did not predict, however, that Ginrai could replicate the effect with his own Chōkon Power, and the Autobot once again proved to be their better, searing their bodies with his burning backwash and sending them crashing into the mountain. The brothers rejoined the other Decepticons at the mountain's peak, where BlackZarak unleashed his fury on the two failures, pummelling them until Overlord stepped in to try and stop the punishment. This only resulted in BlackZarak turning on him as well, at which point Ginrai arrived to save his foes and engage BlackZarak in final battle. {{storylink|Malevolent and Inhuman! The True Form of Devil Z}} As the Autobot leader battled BlackZarak, Buster and Hydra recovered from their beating, with Hydra calmly writing it off as proof that they were weak, and that they needed to fight even harder. At that point, the Autobot Godmasters arrived and Buster and Hydra plunged into battle right away, despite the fact that they were on the verge of collapse. Eventually, they could fight no further, and combined into Darkwings to flee. In the moments that followed, Ginrai succeeded in destroying BlackZarak and Devil Z, which resulted in all the other humans becoming separated from their Transtectors. The Transtectors themselves continued to live as true super-robot lifeforms, and Buster and Hydra promptly joined with the other Decepticons in departing Earth. {{storylink|A Battle... and Then...}}

====''Victory'' cartoon====
Buster and Hydra served as part of the Decepticon forces under Overlord's command, often battling the Autobot forces led by Ginrai in the G Nebula. {{storylink|Planet Micro - The Mysterious Warrior}}

===''Super-God Masterforce'' comic===
[[Image:Hydra buster manga.jpg|left|275px|thumb|Godmasterobics.]]
Decepticon leaders Giga and Mega unveiled their Godmaster warriors, Buster and Hydra, to the world by sending them to "welcome" the Autobot Godmaster, Ginrai, to Japan. After bombing Tokyo on their way to Harumi Wharf, Buster and Hydra merged into Darkwings and immediately attacked Metalhawk and the Autobot Headmaster Juniors, who were at the wharf awaiting Ginrai's arrival. After taking the Juniors out of the fight, the brothers then transformed into robot mode to tackle Metalhawk, but thankfully, Ginrai chose that moment to make his entrance and promptly launched the villains over the horizon with a blast of Chōkon Power. {{storylink|Enter on the Stage! The Name of the Savior Is Ginrai!}}

When the Autobots traveled to the planet [[Athenia]] so that Ginrai could be appointed [[Supreme Commander]], Buster and Hydra followed, joining up with the other Decepticons out in space and attacking the planet with [[Scramble 7]]. The Autobots were able to defeat Scramble 7, but Buster and Hydra informed them that they had been united under the leadership of Devil Z, and were heading back to Earth to await the Autobots' return. {{storylink|The Battle Begins! The United Earth-Space Troops}}

Buster and Hydra later joined the other Decepticons in an attack on Tokyo, {{storylink|God Ginrai's Amazing Super-God Combination!}}, battled the Autobot Godmasters and [[Grand Maximus]] in space {{storylink|The Earth Family of Good and Evil}} and lured Ginrai into a Decepticon ambush atop [[Mount Everest]]. {{storylink|Decepticons' Great Counterattack!}} Eventually, the two brothers had Devil Z transform them into entirely robotic beings, and joined him in attacking the other Autobots and Decepticons as he attempted to drain their Jinchōkon and become the ultimate lifeform. The Autobots and Decepticons struck back by combining their powers together into the "Perfect Transform Attack", destroying Devil Z for good. As their leader was wiped out before their eyes, Buster and Hydra combined into Darkwings and fled into space. {{storylink|The Birth of the Super Lifeforms}}
