Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Operation Combination (戦え! 超ロボット生命体トランスフォーマー 合体大作戦 Tatakae! Chō Robot Seimei Tai Transformers Gattai Dai Sakusen) was a franchise that ran throughout 1992 in Japan. It marks the final vintage Generation 1 series released in Japan, as the line was cancelled following Operation Combination, not to be revived until 1995 and G-2.
The franchise consisted of:
Operation Combination takes place after Return of Convoy and focuses on several combiner warriors, both Autobot and Decepticon. The series is unusual in that it doesn't make an effort to introduce brand new leaders for each faction. Years later, origins would be provided for the new Micromaster characters through the Micromaster series, and the scenario would be fleshed out for its 20th anniversary in the contemporaneously-set United EX storyline.
Story
Decepticon High Regent Scrash sends Battle Gaia and the Jet Corps to plunder Earth's energy. The Autobots, headlined by Guard City, defend the planet. The storyline covers only a single battle fought between the two groups, taking place in Earth's orbit.
Operation Combination is a continuation of the animated series continuity. However, nothing of Operation Combination was ever actually animated. Instead, the stories were told exclusively through "story pages" in TV Magazine.
