If Devil Z is back, then so is Ginrai!
Synopsis
A mysterious meteor has landed in the Legends Universe and begins glowing, much to the interest of the Autobot Headmaster Juniors.
At Decepticon Co., Devil Z reveals that not only he is he still alive, he's used his and Mindwipe's brainwashing powers together to buy up all the company's stocks! Weirdwolf is angry with Mindwipe for resurrecting the evil entity, reminding him that Devil Z had already caused them trouble previously by stealing the body of their leader, BlackZarak. As "Master Shareholder" Devil Z begins working the Decepticons to the bone, however, he sees on the news that the meteor has turned into a familiar trailer. He recalls the Godmasters, living but soulless bodies discovered in the G Nebula long ago by warriors from Master. Before they could learn to combine with the bodies, Devil Z stole them away to Earth, where he hoped to use the energy from human souls to turn the Godmasters into his loyal troops.
Though his plan ended with his defeat, Devil Z swears not to let the same thing happen again and sends the Decepticon Headmasters to destroy the trailer, only for it to regenerate immediately. This confirms to him that it's a real Godmaster body, but before he can claim it for himself instead, Ginrai shows up, recognizing it as his. Finding a pair of Master-Braces in a compartment just like last time, he transforms the trailer into Super Ginrai, this time by forming the robot's head. Devil Z orders the Headmasters to destroy Ginrai, powering them up with Devil Power when they are initially outclassed by their opponent's mastery of Chōkon Power. As an overpowered Ginrai is brought to his knees, he is contacted by the computer of the G Nebula factory where the transtector was created, which tells him his new body contains a secret beyond Headmaster and Godmaster technology: it is also a Getmaster! This technology is activated if a Master Warrior is placed in its chest cavity, further powering up Ginrai and making him a Triplemaster.
Super Ginrai initiates a Get On, but instead of a Master Warrior he ends up sucking a passing-by Rattrap into his chest. This turns out to be a blessing in disguise as the rat is emitting a new form of Chōkon Power, Jūchokon! Despite his power up, the Headmasters blow a hole in him with their Trio Formation Devil Attack, but his apparent defeat is actually his transformation into a base mode. Ginrai and Rattrap let loose with a God Fire Base Attack barrage that sends the Headmasters and Devil Z fleeing, and the Autobot Headmaster Juniors celebrate, revealing that they summoned Ginrai here after seeing the transtector appear. He intends to stick around the Legends Universe until Devil Z is defeated, but finds to his annoyance that all the locals keep referring to him as "Optimus Prime".

Notes
- Devil Z retells the same origin of the Godmasters as told in "Shūta and Grand's Masterforce Super-Secrets!".
- Ginrai finds Master-Braces in a compartment to his right, much like how he found them in the glove compartment of his original transtector in "A Hero Is Chosen - His Name Is Ginrai".
- The introduction of Getmasters is a strange reference to "Chōjin Masterforce no Theme", the theme song of Super-God Masterforce, which contains the lyrics "Get On, God On, Head On". While "God On" and "Head On" were transforming phrases in the show, "Get On" was merely there for the rhyme. Now after 28 years, it finally makes sense in the fiction.
- The Decepticon Headmasters use a more effective version of the Trio Formation from "The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)".
