Toransufômâ: Chôjin masutâ fôsu

This show is the second best Transformers anime after Transformers: Victory. I love this show and I also used to watch it a lot with my cousin and these Transformers are really cool. Humans using bracelets to become the Transformers.

It is known that God Jinrai is actually Convoy (Optimus Prime) and then he becomes the Super God Jinrai by combining with the best Transformer of the show, God Bomber, and also the Destrons Masterforce (Decepticons)are a lot strong and more powerful. And the main villain Devil Z is a lot stronger than Galvatron and Unicron.

In the Dominican Republic in this show Devil Z name is Scorponok, that was our favorite Destron. But no human controlled him,only Devil Z got inside him making him more powerful, he is the leader of the Destrons.

But the other two Destrons Giga and Mega made things a lot more difficult when they interfered and they most of the time have severely injured God Jinrai (Optimus Prime), I hated them so much that I'd wish they would die. By the way, that husband and wife team in the show are just like the new version of Cyclonus and Scourge(Galvatron's most loyal soldiers)

This show is great I give it a 10/10

The series starts out cool and has some intriguing concepts, but I quit after watching only six full episodes. The human characters are annoying as usual, and I for one don't need a "sexy" villain as I assume Giga is supposed to be in a Transformers series-particularly one that's supposedly intended for kids. Even the episodes I did watch seemed like they could be pretty disturbing for little kids, what with the violence and dark magic zombies. It's a shame really-I was looking forward to Ginrai, Overlord, Grand Maximus, and Black Zarak, but they're not cool enough to warrant that kinda crap. Here's hoping Victory was more tastefully done.

That's saying a fair bit as Headmasters from personal perspective didn't hold up(despite saying that I remembered it being good) and I didn't care at all for Victory. Masterforce was really well done though, the concept initially did seem a little shaky and as with a lot of shows the first couple of episodes had a yet-to-find-its-feet feel to it. The execution however was truly impressive. Of the three 1980s anime-Transformers shows Masterforce is the most Japanese-anime-like and also has the most detailed animation and the most consistent characterisations. And it also doesn't try to cram in too much in the story lines or the terrible dubbing like Headmasters and has more energy and characters that are relatable unlike Victory. The animation is rich in detail and quite exciting in the action, definitely the best animated of this show, Victory and Headmasters combined. The music is dynamic and un-repetitive and the theme tune is catchy and not cheesy. The writing is thought-provoking and has a freshness to it, ill-placed humour and slapstick being nowhere in sight. The stories are well-paced, exciting, with emotion and are gripping, without trying to do too much. The series also has a well-rounded end, not anti-climatic like Headmasters. The characterisation is remarkably consistent with Devil Z being a very sinister villain and not a Megatron clone, and we even see some familiar faces. The voice is decent. In conclusion, excellent and the best of the 1980s anime-Transformers shows by some distance. Also one of the high points of the franchise along with the original 1984 show and Beast Wars. 9/10 Bethany Cox
