Super-God Masterforce

Working Title

Eight thousand years ago, a starship containing the Autobot Pretenders Metalhawk, Lander, Diver, and Phoenix pursued the Decepticon Pretenders Blood, Dauros, and Gilmer to neolithic-era Earth, where they crashed. Using their Pretender abilities, the Autobots adopted the form of humans. They transformed the very structure of their bodies into an organic equivalent, shrinking down to normal human size to hide in plain sight among burgeoning Humanity. A Pretender could transform from a human in two stages. Touching his left wrist and yelling "suit on!" would cause him to don his Pretender suit. From this state, he could touch his left wrist and yell "Pretender!" to size-change and revert to his robot mode. The Decepticon Pretenders, on the other hand, adopted the forms of monstrous creatures, becoming feared as demons by early Man. After many battles, the Autobots succeeded in defeating their enemies and sealing them away—Blood in the pyramids of Egypt, Gilmer in the ruins of Atlantis, and Dauros beneath the Nazca Lines in Peru—for thousands of years. The Autobot Pretenders continued to live among humanity. By the early twenty-first century, Hawk was working at the Space Astronomy Research Center in Japan, while Diver was running the Ocean Research Institute of California. When the three Decepticon Pretenders were liberated by the mysterious Decepticon "god", Devil Z, the four Autobots were drawn out of hiding to fight them.
