Zone cartoon, manga, and story pages

When Victory Saber initiated the "Zone Project", the Super Car Patrol helped rebuild planet Micro into planet Zone. To counter this threat, Violen Jiger began conquering planets in order to create his own Decepticon Zone. The Race Car Patrol and all other Micromaster teams were then sent on patrol across the galaxy, specifically to planets where their unique skills could do the most good. Zone Part 1

When Bruticus attacked the planet Feminia, the Super Car Patrol were among several units of Micromasters deployed to stop him. Through teamwork, they proved triumphant. Zone Part 2

After the Nine Great Demon Generals attacked planet Zone and stole the Energon Z, the Super Car Patrol pursued them into space. However, they were quickly halted by BlackZarak, who trapped them in an energy web. The Jet Patrol Team soon showed up and freed them from the web, allowing them to continue pursuit.

Notes

• Gingham's model came up—sort of—in the previous Japanese TV series, Victory, where it was used as the basis for the show-only female Micro Transformer Clipper. The color scheme even lines up more-or-less, making Gingham a pretty darn suitable stand-in-toy for her.
