	~~{{-}}~~		'''''Transformers: The Headmasters''''' ignored the [[The Rebirth\|final three episodes]] of the US cartoon and began its own unique story. Rather than the US cartoons' characterization of the newly-introduced [[Headmaster (technology)\|Headmasters]] and [[Targetmaster (technology)\|Targetmasters]], where the respective partners were the organic [[Nebulan\|Nebulons]] from the planet [[Nebulos]] that [[Binary bonding\|binary-bonded]] to existing [[Transformer]]s, ''The Headmasters'' took a much different approach, where the Headmasters and Targetmasters were miniscule Transformers from the colony world, [[Master (planet)\|Master]], that combined with [[transtector]] vehicles to form regular-sized—sometimes larger—robots.

			Disrupting the developed pattern of the overarching franchise as a whole, '''''Transformers: Super-God Masterforce''''' loosely followed on from where ''The Headmasters'' left off, following an all-new cast of characters, and featured new locations. Originally perceived by Western audiences to be a stand-alone series to a certain extent, the series actually featured several references and callbacks to ''The Headmasters'' sprinkled throughout, with [[Chromedome (G1)\|Chromedome]] even getting a brief cameo and the [[Trainbot]]s appearing visually in the opening sequence. To help aid in the connection of the two series, the concurrently released ''[[Master File]]'' promotional booklets helped to explain elements not covered by the cartoon, and helped establish where ''The Headmasters''{{'}} cast was during the cartoon's events.

			Much like ''The Headmasters'', ''Super-God Masterforce'' takes elements from the simultaneous US fiction/toyline and flips it 180°, with the Nebulan/Nebulon [[Powermaster]]s being swapped out for the human [[Godmaster (lifeform)\|Godmasters]] (described as the perfect fusion of Transformer and human). Following on from ''The Headmasters'', characters of the Headmaster and Godmaster variety utilized non-sentient transtectors that doubled as transport—only this time, they were utilized by organic partners, instead of miniscule Transformers. The series also made use of the [[Pretender]]s, but the way they functioned was almost exactly like their US counterparts.
