	It's summer, and at the [[International School]], gym class has become swim class. [[Cab (human)\|Cab]], [[Shūta Gō\|Shūta]] and the rest of the boys class complete their lengths and head for the locker room, but Cab decides to head back to the pool, to peep at the girls' class through the fence in hopes of getting a look at [[Minerva (human)\|Minerva]] in a swimsuit. Shūta is trying to dissuade him when both boys are caught by the coach, much to the disgust of all the girls. Minerva berates Cab and Shūta all the way back to the base after school, but when they apologize, discussion turns to the upcoming summer break, and they decide to ask [[Metalhawk (G1)\|Hawk]] about taking a vacation. When they arrive at the [[Autobot Base\|base]], Hawk is reviewing [[Ginrai (human)\|Ginrai]]'s televised appeal, and permits their vacation request if they promise to keep in touch.

	Ginrai explains the whole situation to Lightfoot, who is a bit more interested in figuring out how to turn back into a [[human]]. Before he can, though, the three Decepticon Pretenders suddenly attack; with no combat experience, Lightfoot is helpless, and Ginrai instructs him to change back so they can escape. Fleeing in vehicle mode (nailing [[Gilmer]] right in the ball bearings along the way), Lightfoot takes Ginrai back to British Motors, where he reunites with his own Transtector and transforms to robot mode. The Pretenders attempt to target his trailer in order to prevent him from become Super Ginrai, but their scheme fails when the trailer knocks [[Dauros]] aside and merges with Ginrai. As Super Ginrai, he grapples with Gilmer and Dauros while Blood attempts to take Lightfoot hostage; the newly-born Godmaster transforms to robot mode again and struggles to hold off the Pretender, while Ginrai pursues the other two, who summon the [[Seacon (Masterforce)\|Seacons]] to the battlefield. The water-monsters fuse into [[King Poseidon]], who is once again quickly overcome by Super Ginrai's [[Chōkon Power]] and even winds up impaling his leg on his own sword. With the Seacon combiner beaten, the Pretenders flee, and Lightfoot requests that Ginrai continue to teach him. The hunt is now well and truly on to find the remaining Godmasters!

	*Lightfoot's father makes his debut in this episode; although not identified by name here, he will be named "Leftfoot" later in the series. This is part of one of those L/R puns you get in the Japanese language—in Japanese, there's no distinction between these two sounds, so it's possible to read "Lightfoot" as "Rightfoot". Hence, the pun of his father being named "Leftfoot". It hurts us too.		*Lightfoot's father makes his debut in this episode; although not identified by name here, he will be named "Leftfoot" later in the series.

	Ginrai eventually arrives at Lightfoot's home—as it turns out, he is heir to the vast [[British Motors]] automotive engineering company. Ginrai is quite smitten with the [[Leftfoot's assistant\|maid]] who serves him [[Napoleon\|a drink]] as he waits, but Lightfoot himself soon arrives and Ginrai gets straight to business, presenting him with the drawing of the robot. Lightfoot explains that he has been dreaming of the robot for the last three months, and was encouraged to write to Ginrai by a friend who saw him on television. Showing Ginrai around his home, he tells him the story of how his father moved from a run-down repair shop in England to Canada, where he started making cars. The first car he made led to the success of the British Motors company—the family even still has the original model, which [[Leftfoot\|Lightfoot's father]] just recently gave to him for his birthday... right before his dreams began. Ginrai gives the car a look-over, and requests that he be allowed to drive it; Lightfoot allows him, but is a bit distressed by the fast speeds and rough terrain that Ginrai subjects the car to. His suspicions growing ever more likely, Ginrai hands Lightfoot one of the pairs of [[Master-Brace]]s that he found. When Lightfoot dons them, the bracelets are pulled together, and the car fills with light as the young man is surrounded by a suit of armor! At Ginrai's instruction, he utters the command—"Transform! God On!" and becomes one with his car, transforming into the robot from his own dreams! Lightfoot is the second Autobot [[Godmaster (lifeform)\|Godmaster]]!

	In America, Ginrai is visiting the [[CNM TV\|television studio]] that runs the programme he made his appeal on, where he receives a large handful of mail from people responding to his appearance. One in particular catches his attention immediately—a letter from a young man named [[Lightfoot (~~Masterforce~~)\|Lightfoot]] in [[Canada]], which includes a drawing of a robot!

	Meanwhile, [[Hydra (~~Masterforce~~)\|Hydra]] and [[Buster (~~Masterforce~~)\|Buster]], still smarting over Ginrai's upgrade into Super Ginrai, have also come to the TV studio in an attempt to pick up any leads to his whereabouts. They menace [[Sam (producer)\|a producer]] to try and find out where he has gone, to no avail. Subsequently, they meet with the [[Decepticon]] [[Pretender]]s in a junkyard to arrange a search.

	Ginrai eventually arrives at Lightfoot's home—as it turns out, he is heir to the vast [[British Motors]] automotive engineering company. Ginrai is quite smitten with the [[Leftfoot's assistant\|maid]] who serves him [[Napoleon\|a drink]] as he waits, but Lightfoot himself soon arrives and Ginrai gets straight to business, presenting him with the drawing of the robot. Lightfoot explains that he has been dreaming of the robot for the last three months, and was encouraged to write to Ginrai by a friend who saw him on television. Showing Ginrai around his home, he tells him the story of how his father moved from a run-down repair shop in England to Canada, where he started making cars. The first car he made led to the success of the British Motors company—the family even still has the original model, which [[Leftfoot\|Lightfoot's father]] just recently gave to him for his birthday... right before his dreams began. Ginrai gives the car a look-over, and requests that he be allowed to drive it; Lightfoot allows him, but is a bit distressed by the fast speeds and rough terrain that Ginrai subjects the car to. His suspicions growing ever more likely, Ginrai hands Lightfoot one of the pairs of [[Master-Brace]]s that he found. When Lightfoot dons them, the bracelets are pulled together, and the car fills with light as the young man is surrounded by a suit of armor! At Ginrai's instruction, he utters the command—"Transform! God On!" and becomes one with his car, transforming into the robot from his own dreams! Lightfoot is the second Autobot [[Godmaster (lifeform)\|Godmaster]]!

	It's summer, and at the [[International School]], gym class has become swim class. [[Cab (human)\|Cab]], [[Shūta Gō\|Shūta]] and the rest of the boys class complete their lengths and head for the locker room, but Cab decides to head back to the pool, to peep at the girls' class through the fence in hopes of getting a look at [[Minerva (~~Masterforce~~ human)\|Minerva]] in a swimsuit. Shūta is trying to dissuade him when both boys are caught by the coach, much to the disgust of all the girls. Minerva berates Cab and Shūta all the way back to the base after school, but when they apologize, discussion turns to the upcoming summer break, and they decide to ask [[Metalhawk (~~Masterforce~~)\|Hawk]] about taking a vacation. When they arrive at the [[Autobot Base\|base]], Hawk is reviewing [[Ginrai (human)\|Ginrai]]'s televised appeal, and permits their vacation request if they promise to keep in touch.

When they arrive at the [[Autobot Base\|base]], Hawk is reviewing [[Ginrai (human)\|Ginrai]]'s televised appeal, and permits their vacation request if they promise to keep in touch.

	In America, Ginrai is visiting the [[CNM TV\|television studio]] that runs the programme he made his appeal on, where he receives a large handful of mail from people responding to his appearance. One in particular catches his attention immediately—a letter from a young man named [[Lightfoot (~~Masterforce~~)\|Lightfoot]] in [[Canada]], which includes a drawing of a robot!

	Meanwhile, [[Hydra (~~Masterforce~~)\|Hydra]] and [[Buster (~~Masterforce~~)\|Buster]], still smarting over Ginrai's upgrade into Super Ginrai, have also come to the TV studio in an attempt to pick up any leads to his whereabouts. They menace [[Sam (producer)\|a producer]] to try and find out where he has gone, to no avail. Subsequently, they meet with the [[Decepticon]] [[Pretender]]s in a junkyard to arrange a search. The search bears fruit a little later, as [[Blood]] spots Ginrai—already well on his way to Canada—getting directions at [[Stand boy\|a gas station]]. The other Pretenders converge on his location and chase after Ginrai through the cover of the roadside forest, intent on defeating him themselves to improve their standing in the eyes of [[Giga]] and [[Mega]].
