Yokohama Decepticon Secret Base
Several Town Commanders were involved in the battle against Doctor Arkeville's Nemesis Prime and NAVI-ko, but their efforts weren't of much use, as Nemesis Prime easily defeated them all. Yokohama Decepticon Secret Base

Toys
Transformers GT
- Safety Prime (Original Ver.) (Legends class, 2013)
- The only toy of a Town Commander ever made, Safety Prime is a redeco of 2010's Transformers: Reveal the Shield Legends Class Prowl, transforming into a modified Nissan 350Z, reworked into a motorsport [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}safety car|{{#if:||safety car}}]]. He was given away free at the TakaraTomy-sponsored "Kids Walk" events held by [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Super GT|{{#if:||Super GT}}]] in 2013 to participating children as something of a crossover between Cybertron Satellite and the Transformers GT franchise.
Notes
- The Town Commanders are something of a Transformers twist on Japan's "[[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Local hero (Japan)|{{#if:local hero|local hero|Local hero (Japan)}}]]" tradition of regional superhero mascots.
- Town Commanders were created in conjunction with the Cybertron Satellite promotion, allowing each installation of the promotion in various collaborating stores across Japan to have its unique character based on the culture of the local area.
- The primary objective for fans in the promotion was to fill out the official "Town Commander Collection Book" by traveling to each location to procure the sticker for that region's Town Commander, with the "final boss" of the event being chasing down TakaraTomy employees at participating events for a sticker of Dimicron Prime, the Town Commander representing TakaraTomy themselves.
