The seven smaller Transtectors were scattered across the planet, while the largest was buried deep in an ocean trench alongside Devil Z himself, where he slept for an unknown number of years, during which time the Transtectors absorbed the unique energies within the Earth. Evidence suggests that the Transtectors arrived on Earth in the forms of featureless black rocks of varying shape and size, and that several of them subsequently took on the shapes of Earthly vehicles through unknown circumstances—notably, through coincidence or design, the Transtector intended for Optimus Prime became a red-and-blue truck cab.

	==History==		==History==
	The precise origin of the Godmasters is ~~somewhat~~ confusing. The ~~only version of the story offered in the course of the~~ [[Masterforce ~~War~~]] ~~was a~~ version ~~told~~ by [[~~Giga~~]], ~~full of the lies~~ and ~~half-truths propagated~~ by [[~~Devil Z~~]]. [[~~Shūta Gō~~\|~~Shūta~~]] ~~and~~ [[~~Grand Maximus~~]] ~~would later clarify some points while discussing various other unclear events that had happened to them, but some of the specifics remain ill-defined at best~~.		The precise origin of the Godmasters is a little confusing. The [[Transformers: Super-God Masterforce (cartoon)\|''Super-God Masterforce'' cartoon]] presents conflicting, incomplete information about exactly where they came from, with one version of the story being offered by the Decepticons in "[[A Strange Friendship: Cancer and Minerva]]," and another by the Autobots in "[[Shūta and Grand's Masterforce Super-Secrets!]]." Later stories have generally sided with the Autobot version of events, with some, such as the [[Transformers Legends (comic)\|''Legends'' manga]], [[retcon]]ning in additional explanations.

	[[Image:Gnebula89.jpg\|right\|150px\|thumb]]Godmasters came to exist as the end result of the machinations of the self-styled [[Decepticon]] "god," Devil Z. Seeking to create the ultimate super-robotic lifeform, Devil Z aimed to merge Transformers and humans into singular beings that could control [[Chōkon Power]]. To this end, he stole eight Transtectors from the [[G Nebula 89\|G Nebula]]—one of which was intended for use by [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Optimus Prime]]—and hid them on [[Earth]]. The seven smaller Transtectors were scattered across the planet, while the largest was buried deep in an ocean trench alongside Devil Z himself, where he slept for an unknown number of years. All evidence suggests that the Transtectors arrived on Earth in the forms of featureless black rocks of varying shape and size, and that several of them subsequently took on the shapes of Earthly vehicles through unknown circumstances—notably, through coincidence or design, the Transtector intended for Optimus Prime became a red-and-blue truck cab.		[[Image:Gnebula89.jpg\|right\|150px\|thumb]]

	~~Precisely when this theft occurred is not explained~~, ~~making~~ Prime~~'s involvement also a bit confusing~~, as he ~~was dead at~~ the ~~time~~ of the ~~Masterforce War. Whether~~ or ~~not his~~ Transtector ~~was~~ intended ~~as an upgrade~~ for ~~him while alive or as~~ a ~~method~~ of ~~somehow resurrecting him is unclear. To further obfuscate~~ the ~~matter~~, ~~Grand noted~~ that a ~~robot from planet~~ [[~~Master~~ (~~planet~~)\|~~Master~~]] was ~~also intended to bond~~ to the ~~body~~. ~~Devil Z~~'s version of the story ~~is no less confusing, as he claimed that the Godmasters~~ were ~~originally one singular Decepticon god-like entity~~, ~~which broke up as it entered~~ the ~~Earth's atmosphere.

The mechanical aspect of a Godmaster is a non-sentient Transformer body known as a [[Transtector]], to which a human being is bonded.

	==History==		==History==
	The precise origin of the Godmasters is ~~somewhat~~ confusing. The ~~only version of the story offered in the course of the~~ [[Masterforce ~~War~~]] ~~was a~~ version ~~told~~ by [[~~Giga~~]], ~~full of the lies~~ and ~~half-truths propagated~~ by [[~~Devil Z~~]]. [[~~Shūta Gō~~\|~~Shūta~~]] ~~and~~ [[~~Grand Maximus~~]] ~~would later clarify some points while discussing various other unclear events that had happened to them, but some of the specifics remain ill-defined at best~~.		The precise origin of the Godmasters is a little confusing. The [[Transformers: Super-God Masterforce (cartoon)\|''Super-God Masterforce'' cartoon]] presents conflicting, incomplete information about exactly where they came from, with one version of the story being offered by the Decepticons in "[[A Strange Friendship: Cancer and Minerva]]," and another by the Autobots in "[[Shūta and Grand's Masterforce Super-Secrets!]]." Later stories have generally sided with the Autobot version of events, with some, such as the [[Transformers Legends (comic)\|''Legends'' manga]], [[retcon]]ning in additional explanations.

	[[Image:Gnebula89.jpg\|right\|150px\|thumb]]Godmasters came to exist as the end result of the machinations of the self-styled [[Decepticon]] "god," Devil Z. Seeking to create the ultimate super-robotic lifeform, Devil Z aimed to merge Transformers and humans into singular beings that could control [[Chōkon Power]]. To this end, he stole eight Transtectors from the [[G Nebula 89\|G Nebula]]—one of which was intended for use by [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity\|Optimus Prime]]—and hid them on [[Earth]]. The seven smaller Transtectors were scattered across the planet, while the largest was buried deep in an ocean trench alongside Devil Z himself, where he slept for an unknown number of years. All evidence suggests that the Transtectors arrived on Earth in the forms of featureless black rocks of varying shape and size, and that several of them subsequently took on the shapes of Earthly vehicles through unknown circumstances—notably, through coincidence or design, the Transtector intended for Optimus Prime became a red-and-blue truck cab.

	~~Precisely when this theft occurred is not explained~~, ~~making~~ Prime~~'s involvement also a bit confusing~~, as he ~~was dead at~~ the ~~time~~ of the ~~Masterforce War. Whether~~ or ~~not his~~ Transtector ~~was~~ intended ~~as an upgrade~~ for ~~him while alive or as~~ a ~~method~~ of ~~somehow resurrecting him is unclear. To further obfuscate~~ the ~~matter~~, ~~Grand noted~~ that a ~~robot from planet~~ [[~~Master~~ (~~planet~~)\|~~Master~~]] was ~~also intended to bond~~ to the ~~body~~. ~~Devil Z~~'s version of the story ~~is no less confusing, as he claimed that the Godmasters~~ were ~~originally one singular Decepticon god-like entity~~, ~~which broke up as it entered~~ the ~~Earth's atmosphere. He thus presented~~ the ~~Godmasters as children~~ of ~~this god~~, ~~hence their name. But everything suggests he was just lying his non-existent butt off~~.

When God Ginrai then defeated and destroyed Devil Z, the bond between the humans and Transtectors that he had created ceased to exist and the humans were separated from them—however, the Transtectors continued to live on as Godmasters themselves, and battled each other in the G Nebula during the command of [[Star Saber (G1)\|Star Saber]].

	When asked if Devil Z was lying about the origin of [[Godmaster (god)\|Godmaster]], [[Vector Prime]] related one possible origin of Godmaster and [[Devil Z\|Godmessenger]], noting that it was true, and yet so were [[G Nebula 89\|other conflicting origins]], as such was "the fluid nature of the intersection of myth and reality, especially in unstable realities." {{storylink\|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook\|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/07/24}}

	By all appearances, the creation of a Godmaster involves as much science and technology as it does more undefinable, almost supernatural, energies, in the form of Chōkon Power. ~~During their time in the G Nebula, the~~ Transtectors absorbed ~~Tenchōkon, the~~ "~~power of the heavens~~"~~, the energy of the universe itself. When hidden on~~ Earth, ~~they complemented that~~ with ~~Chichōkon~~, the "power of ~~Earth~~"~~, the energy that gives the planet life~~. ~~The addition of the third and final power, Jinchōkon, the~~ "~~power of humanity"—added by bonding a human to one of these Transtectors—brought the Godmasters to life.~~ The presence of these three unique energies within their bodies gives the Godmasters power over all three types of Chōkon Power, making them easily the most powerful breed of Transformer. This energy can be generated for a variety of different offensive purposes—see the energy's [[Chōkon Power\|own article]] for more details.

The Transtectors absorbed "Tenchokon" and "Chichokon" from Earth, and by merging with humans, also acquired the power of "Jinchokon."

	[[File:Clouder brace.jpg\|left\|thumb]]A human is bonded to a Transtector via [[Master-Brace\|Masterbraces]], a pair of small golden bracelets worn on the human's wrists. When the human touches the bracelets by crossing their wrists with a shout of "Masterforce!", they are transformed in various ways, with the most readily obvious difference being the manifestation of a suit of armor around their body. Additionally, the human gains enhanced strength, agility and reflexes, and most importantly, they undergo an ill-defined biological transformation that converts them from flesh-and-blood into [[living metal]], with the ability to transform into engine-like forms called "[[Iacon (Masterforce)\|Iacons]]". By connecting to their Transtector in Iacon mode with a shout of "God On!", the Godmaster transforms the Transtector to robot mode, placing it entirely under their control. This partnership is often mistakenly interpreted as the human "piloting" the Transtector in some way, directing its motion from the point on the body where they connect to it—in truth, human and Transtector become as one entity. The human ''is'' the Transformer.
