Overlord makes his first appearance in the Japanese Masterforce series
in his first battle with Super Ginrai.
To reduce the size of the file, I removed the intervening scenes with the Cybertron Headmaster Juniors watching the construction of Godbomber, and removed the sequence in which Overlord leaves. What is left is pure mayhem as Super Ginrai gets severely trashed by Overlord. ;)
Technical details:
The source is a second-generation videotape, so its video quality is medium. It is better than nothing, I suppose. You can try watching it in full-screen mode if you want. The full-screen view does look great on my 17" monitor.
Description of the events in the video:
Earlier before the events in the video, Ginrai had merged with his trailer to form Super Ginrai and used his Godmaster power to beat up Hydra and Buster for pounding on his trailer. They eventually escaped when a jet, flown by the Destron lady Mega, and a tank, driven by Giga, showed up to take on Super Ginrai. Individually they dealt Super Ginrai serious blows, but nothing like what the video will show. ;)
The video begins with Mega and Giga merging their transtectors (Transformer vehicles) to form the mighty Overlord: "Transform! God on! Gattai (Combination) Overlord!" He then fires six of his projectiles to destroy Super Ginrai's gun so the Cybertron can't use it to channel his Godmaster powers. Overlord then fires six more to give him gaping wounds which even his Godmaster healing ability can't repair quickly.
Even though Super Ginrai gives Overlord a good boot to the head, the Destron counters by launching his jet's nosecone on an attack run against Super Ginrai. Overlord then knocks him down, steps on him a few times, punchs him, and kicks him several times before leaping into the air with the noon sun in the background to pound him into unconsciousness. Thinking the poor Cybertron is finished, Overlord leaves him to the desert's howling winds, unaware that Ginrai would somehow survive.
