A list of characters who appeared in the 1988 anime series Transformers: Super-God Masterforce.
Autobots (Cybertrons)
Godmasters
Freightliner COE Tractor Trailer (Voice: Hiroshi Takemura)
- 19 year-old truck driver from Nagano, Japan who moved to America. When the truck's cab is combined with its trailer, he becomes Super Ginrai. A drone named Godbomber is later built, and transforms into a tandem trailer. When Super Ginrai combines with Godbomber, the end result is God Ginrai. He commands the power of fire, exemplified through his assorted "Fire Guts" attacks. Although the mold is that of Powermaster Optimus Prime, released in the U.S, Ginrai is portrayed as an entirely new character.

Mazda Savanna RX7 FC3S IMSA (voice: Tsutomu Kashiwakura)
Dune Buggy (voice: Yoshitada Ōtsuka)Ranger shares a mold with the Hasbro Autobot Joyride and his Powermaster partner Hotwire, however he is a completely different character than the one portrayed by Hasbro.
Ginrai
Ginrai, occasionally spelled Jinrai and also known as both Super Ginrai and God Ginrai, and later rebuilt as Victory Leo, is the protagonist from the animated series Transformers: Super-God Masterforce and its toy line, one of the Transformers series exclusive to Japan. He was called Apex Prime in some fandubbed versions of the animated series.
Transformers: Generation 1
With the American Transformers animated series having come to an end the previous year, Japan had struck out on its own and already produced one series exclusive to its shores, Transformers: Headmasters, and repeated the action with the creation of Super-God Masterforce, which took the American Powermaster toys and created an entirely new concept and story for them in its animated series, where they were renamed "Godmasters" (using the word as a reference to "power," with no connection to any deity intended). Powermaster Optimus Prime's toy was slightly recolored with a more metallic shade of grey, and retooled with a die-cast metal cab and retractable super-mode fists, and released in Japan as an entirely new character named Ginrai.
