Synopsis
On Earth in 2020, the defeated Turtler curses God Ginrai, but is soon met with a visitor from the future, the space pirate Halfshell. Having heard from Coelagon of a similar-looking Transformer, Halfshell has travelled to the past to propose an alliance to restore both Seacon crews—Turtler's that was damaged by God Ginrai and Halfshell that was damaged in their collection of proton energy. Halfshell knows just what they need to rebuild the Seacons... Angolmois Energy!
In the mysterious dimension, Star Convoy is fighting King Poseidon, who is confused by the Angolmois Energy he detects from his opponent. Star Convoy explains that energy from future Autobot and Maximal leaders has allowed him to repair his damaged body and restore his full energies. Star Convoy breaks apart King Poseidon into his component Seacons, but the villains retreat to the nearby planet, forcing Star Convoy to follow.
On the planet, Optimus Prime sends his Star Trailer to assist the local denizens and is soon attacked by a Tentakil. The squid is joined by the rest of the Seacons and they form King Poseidon in his "Perfect Mode". King Poseidon attempts to crush Optimus, but the Autobot manages to use his Silver Matrix to heal his injuries, a power King Poseidon recognizes as the same as his old enemy, Ginrai. Seeking revenge on Ginrai, King Poseidon knocks the Matrix away from Optimus to steal it and swears to crush his enemy.
On the photon sailer, Halfshell observes the battle, commenting on the inferiority of a king to a god but thanking Turtler for being a guinea pig for the revival of his Seacons. As he gloats, the tank Galvatron is in bursts open. Halfshell wonders if the Angolmois Energy in Galvatron and the power of stars in Star Convoy are resonating and intensifying each other. The upgrading Decepticon affirms this hypothesis and claims to have attained the power of the future, the "super" power...

Notes
- This story was released online with no title by TakaraTomy to promote the then-upcoming Generations Selects Overbite and Tentakil figures.
- After decades of ambiguity, this story finally provides a confirmed year for when the Super-God Masterforce cartoon takes place: the year 2020.
- On page 4, King Poseidon's pose is based on his original toy's boxart.
- Halfshell's Seacons are rebuilt with new bodies based on the new ones given to Turtler's group, though Scylla is given the typical "feminization" treatment for the gender-swapped retools. Halfshell himself also sport a new body based on Turtler's upgrades.
