God Ginrai

[imaginator]

He yells at the top of his lungs many times "Goto Ginrai!!!!!!"

[Zmanstardust]

Optimus has a human in him to control him????? i am so confused

[gotthrockernightwish]

this is sooo gay it reminds me of gundum whatever you call it i like how they had nothing to do with humans even in form i know they where friends with humans but this isint even transformers anymore wtf i wish i never seen this shit like this that gives transformers a bad name

[GoldKnightProduction]

0:09

Man w/o umbrella is not amused.

It's moments like that that make you realize people have gotten used to the tfer's existance.

[Vachidra]

@GoldKnightProduction The people watching, except the three kids, are all Transformers themselves.

[Geminii27]

The kids are Headmaster Juniors, so they're just as used to being part of a Transformer as Ginrai himself.

[Mat001]

@Vachidra Yeah, that's Autobot Pretender Metalhawk out front.

[Reason4Termination]

I had this toy before when I was a kid :'( wonder where it is now?

[BVD169]

they look like them but there not them

[TheHiddenBoss]

So that's what Optimus Prime would look like if he made use of his trailer instead of sending it into the Twlight Zone every single time he transforms.

[koulis0985]

i think i just saw a human turning into Optimus Prime...i have to stop taking drugs...

[Oamanu]

Ahaha. This is awesome!

[PoPfan108SW]

So it's a guy in armour, in a robot that combines with it's trailer to become a bigger robot, fused with another robot to become...Well...Invincible I guess? Japan, I hate you!

[UltraPoseidon]

Why is Japan's Transformers always have 'God' in their names?

[StarFighters76]

@UltraPoseidon It's the body of G1 Optimus Prime (oddly shaped mind you), what else would you call such an legendary icon?

[Geminii27]

@StarFighters76 Interestingly, in the show it's actually supposed to be a replacement body for the Japanese version of Optimus Prime, but he never got around to using it. So there's a reason it looks identical...

[GodOsiris]

Hahahahaha I timed some of these eps! I might have to dig out my dvrs!

[babyfaceds]

why does every robot anime have a montage like this

[skillzAK]

damn this is some kinda cheap imitation of optimus prime...like anime style

[wtfd00d08]

God Ginrai FTW

[bud9133]

I'm hoping there's a Michael Bay equiverlant in Japan who just needs enough funds formaking his own live action Transformers movie, and I will know it will be at least seven times more crazy. And I will watch it with absolute glee.

[PunchSydeiron]

It sounds like he was about to say "SPARTA!" at the end.

[Zoras88]

PRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME!

[z0411326]

I wonder what will Megatron say if he see this....

[Br00talK1d]

The japanesse really do know how to destroy a good old cartoons...

[nyunyumiwi]

this looks amazing! i don't see anything wrong about changing the story of the western tranformers franchise when the output is this cool

[234Horace]

This killed the whole history of transformers.

[Vachidra]

@234Horace It's statements like this that make me want to take down all my videos and close my account.

[joesingle]

@Vachidra I own Headmasters, Masterforce, Victory and Zone and I love them all. The characters are original and also the story. People still want to stick with the 1980's America's Transformers stuff still for some reason.

[Vachidra]

@joesingle That's great, I wish there were more open-minded Transformer fans out there.

[joesingle]

@Vachidra I actually appreciated what the Japanese did with Transformers. Its called being original. I know Optimus Prime and Megatron are always going to be the symbols of transformers but the Japanese knew after a while it does get boring when its the same thing over and over again. Personally Star Saber is still a kick ass Autobot Commander. I just don't get some people. Well anyway keep on putting out videos. Don't listen to the Troll negative comments.

[Vachidra]

@joesingle Thank you. I agree.

[omotodraco]

@joesingle i gotta agree with you on this, i know beast wars tried being a little original with having Maximals vs. Predacons, and all the characters being beasts. not to mention how the japanese try to be a little different with all sorts of stuff, like how Optimus Prime is called Convoy and Piranhacon being called King Poseidon

[herio907]

@joesingle I'm a fan of all of the G1 Japanese series, the Beast Wars animes, RiD, and Galaxy Force. Armada and Energon (I forget their japanese names) were just awful no matter which language it was in. But other wise, I've been a fan of nearly all of the series so far. I think the only one I truly hate is the live action movies, but those just got so much wrong, it's hard not to hate them.

[coois881]

@Vachidra i agree 

[Megabillzilla]

You sir, are a fool.

[joesingle]

@234Horace Your a Troll!

[kaijusamurai]

@234Horace

HOW? HOW DID THIS KILL TRANSFORMERS?! I mean, do you not live in the same reality as the rest of us? Transformers is and always has been a child of both Japan and the US. Are you just slow? Do you just say things like this to rile people up?

[ShuHibiki]

@234Horace Transformers Animated.

[wtfd00d08]

@234Horace gtfo

[trence5]

@nicholascooney Apparently the Japanese knew how much Optimus Prime/Convoy, THE REAL ONE, meant to Americans, which is why that b.s. didn't fly over here

[MrJDred]

so...he's a human, who puts on a suit, that turns him into an engine block, that combines with a robot, that then combines with another robot, that forms together with part of a trailer, that looked like it formed with another robot, that then combined with the rest of the engine block/robot part, and then...uhh....combinining...uh­hh.....JESUS CHRIST JAPAN ITS LIKE A FUCKING MEMORY GAME GAAAAAAHHHHH!!! *smacks head into computer screen*

[Madashell23]

I like how whenever he goes through CHOU-JIN GATTAI, he gets so much taller than any other Cybertron.

[Stridertriller]

If theres one God that i'll believe in, its God Ginrai. Amen

[qwertyrobot5]

keep replaying from 0:31

[risinglycan]

damn i want this toy

[xchainlinkx]

0:10 audience is unamused.

[bangsheep]

what dies this have common with god? bling bling *friendship formation* lol

[fatpigstudios]

crazy japanese

[Primus2X]

What is the other truck thing with the white front that combines with him, and is it another robot?

[David315842]

@Primus2X That's Godbomber. It transforms into a robot and into armour for Super Ginrai to become God Ginrai. Or Apex Bomber that combines with Powermaster Optimus Prime Super Mode to become Apex Prime.

[MetaNixon]

@Primus2X From what I recall it's a vehicle, not sentient, and the kids in the show drive it, but I'm not 100%. It might be called Godbomber or something...?

[ReviewerKid90]

So. He becomes Optimus Prime. What an honor.

[MightyNeonFraa]

I've never seen this show so it's probably out of context but I've watched this three times now and it still cracks me up how utterly UNIMPRESSED the guy at 0:08 looks.

[CatholicDeath]

@MightyNeonFraa I feel the same way and it still cracks me up after having watched this around three HUNDRED times.

[Generation1Optimus]

G1 Optimus Prime is better.

[Yamaz29]

And thus the tradition of a RID God Maximus like character starts

[gundamngx]

Power Master Optimus Prime...

[7transformer]

God Ginrai changed into Victory Saber

[LD33004]

actually God Ginrai was rebuild into Victory Leo

[nightslash3535]

The Ginrai Transector was originally a lifeless body of Optimus Prime.

[mcmetolhead]

wa galaxy convoy a reference to this guy(their elgs transform the same way)

[imaginator]

GOTO JINRAI! YAAAH! lol

[Sammyyanke2]

that is like a super mode right?

[pikachu0Z]

That's right

[21solomonspace]

no

it's like a combiner mode.

[kluang1]

Ginrai, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say yes!

[balwinder345]

So its a guy in armor, in a robot, in another robot, fused with another robot. Mother of god....

[drumgroovy]

I never thought of it that way.

Well... since you put it that way... LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[Basher86]

and then he becomes a pretender and the pretender is piloting a truck which becomes another robot

[Vachidra]

He's not a pretender, he's an actual human.

[Basher86]

oh no i was replying to balwinder345

idk how it ended up here

[IrishKyokushin]

@Vachidra Were these humans altered to be able to stay in the leg bent position when they transform into the engine block?

[Vachidra]

@IrishKyokushin No.....I think you're not supposed to think about it.. 

[Gigaspine7]

@balwinder345 It's more like a guy in armor in a robot in a suit of armor fused with another suit of armor.

[VinylCyril]

@balwinder345 roboception.

[86Timewarp]

@VinylCyril I was juts gonna say that!

[LeonBenji]

they give this series in mexico around 7:00 when i was in 4 or 5 grade(now i am in college) i was freaking hook on it i even got late once, lol.

anyways this series i want to get it so bad cuz i always wanted to be the character that control optimus prime

[Strannik01]

They showed it in Russia back in the early 90s. In fact, Masterforce was the first Transformers cartoon they showed, so, like many Russian kids, I have very fond memories of this incarnation of the franchise. And Ginrai was the first Optimus I saw (they called him "Optimus Prime" in Russian dub), so, to me, he became the standard by which other Optimuses are judged.

[LeonBenji]

Well to me they give this one after the original( I think) and I believe that they also name him Optimus Prime also I am still fond of this series, wish that they show all the old good cartoons in some tv channel specially dedicated to them

[RemusLupo]

man.....so much overkill

GOD ON

DOUBLE ON

GOD GINRAI

I mean ... everything in Japan sounds so fucking powerful...use some subtlety

not that I don't like this series

[Zeltrax546]

In the dub by TFCog . Net or Com, this guy was called Apex Prime. I'll still call any incarnation or reincarnation of this guy Optimus Prime!!!

[BugsBunnyRoadRunne]

i love this music plus i like how ginrai's voice sounds in japanese

[drumgroovy]

Maybe because... it IS Japanese?

[Basher86]

so a humanm is a power master?

[Dwnshifter]

OK that pisses me off I had never seen an episode of masterforce and believed the Japanese version of powermaster prime(god ginrai) had red eyes like the reissue and now it turns out it had blue?????

beer please

Swear I am not complaining about the video or content. That was still kickass.

Maybe someday they can make an english dub of this series?

I highly respect the Japanese, but I have hard time getting into a series with subtitles

[David315842]

You haven't heard of the VERY BAD RTM 1/ Star TV English dub of Masterforce have you? well a dub exsists, it's just it's bad. :D

[SPARS1114]

esta super reata, esto si es chingon

[InfernapeMaster]

First,the person in the power suit jumps out of the cab,transforms,then attaches onto the front of the cab,making the guy become one with the robot.Secondly,the trailer of the cab flies upward toward Ginrai,then Ginrai turns back into a cab,then the trailer transforms,leaving the cab to fit into the new body.Thirdly,the secondary trailer(I dunno,God Bomber or something like that?)turns into the parts,which lock into place onto their respective body part.

Got that?

[transfans234]

convoy=optimus

[PurexOvvnage]

so it's a human that becomes a robot that trans forms into a block thing and goes into truck to make it transform into a robot that transforms into a chest of another robot that was formed from the trailer of the truck and then another trailer comes out and becomes armor

[Vachidra]

Well, actually it's a guy that gets a power suit, then he becomes an engine block that goes in a truck to make a robot that forms the chest of a big robot and then a trailer forms armor.

Would a flow chart help?

[Damienx247]

@Vachidra Yes please. No wonder many western Transformers' fans treat the comics as cannon, this is insane.

[cannonfodder4000]

Try reading Alternity's storyline, now THAT'll make you say "This is insane!" XD

[gun844]

@Vachidra Bullshit.Japans just making this prime into an awful shit....

Originallly the second or the third incarnation of prime has the nebulosian guy who was similar to the headmasters.He trasnforms to a energy device wich boots the power of optimus prime(who was in a new body and in that form he was far stronger then anybody else)

[DoctorGrim05]

@PurexOvvnage ....that lived in the house that jack built.

[PokeDigiSonic]

all i say is..."Optimus Prime, Super Mode, Tranform. Optimus, Ultra Magnus, Powerlink. Omega Prime" XD

[mcmetolhead]

is it a cooincidence he looks like convoy?

[Vachidra]

Pretty much. =P

[David315842]

@Vachidra Actually Ginrai's transtector was designed to become a 'new leader' for the Autobots, that's why he looks like Prime, acording to the 'Grand and Shuta's Masterforce Secrets' clip show episode that aired after the series had finished.

[AtticusRh0des]

@Vachidra No its not, have you watched the series?That trunk Ginrei fuses wit hwas supposed to be Convoy's new body, but genrei screws it up and it develops its own personality, and goes on in victory to get blown up as "Apex convoy" and becomes victory leo

[gun844]

@AtticusRh0des  bla bla....japanese blah blah.He shouldt become any sort of convoy.He was optimus prime not a child toy for japanese mental masturbation.

[Roanstalker]

@AtticusRh0des Actually he stays as Ginrai. The name Apex Armour Prime is only used in the America version for the american Reissue of the Power Master set using the japanese reissue of God Ginrai which now includes God Bomber, now called Apex Bomber.

[ljjnicothe2nd]

In other words, Apex Prime as this toy was rereleased as Powermaster Optimus Prime with Apex Armor

[octoman7]

cool

[scanprod]

That beats the toy by a long shot

[HarmanSm1th]

You can say that a thousand times over.

[Sparkbomber]

Awesome vid, if a bit pixelled.

[Vachidra]

Thanks, the original video wasn't pixellated, but it's YouTube, what can you do? =/
