Not everyone may agree with Optimus's statement...

Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (戦え!超ロボット生命体トランスフォーマー Tatakae! Chō Robot Seimei Tai Transformer) was a manga which ran in TV Magazine from April to November, 1986. An accompaniment to the first year of the Transformers toyline and cartoon in Japan, both the cartoon and the manga were branded with this ostentatious title. The manga took place shortly after the end of season 2 of the Generation 1 cartoon, but before the events of the "Scramble City" OVA.

Taking place within the continuity of the cartoon series, the manga introduced a few concepts which explained away the odd "logic error" here and there or simply added further background to the characters. A few of these notable additions:


  • The Autobot Road, an underground mass-transit highway which helped the Autobots drive from one end of the planet to the other so quickly.
  • The Ark is apparently located in Arizona.
  • Various role-playing toys, such as transforming wristwatches and voice-changer helmets, are given a canonical function in the series as equipment used by Kenji.

The narrative revolved around the Autobots and their new Japanese friend, a boy named Kenji. The stories were completely episodic, with one never leading into another.
