This is the first opening,
found at the beginning of the early Transformers: Chohjin Masterforce episodes.
This opening focuses on the Pretenders. Also appearing are Godmasters
(Powermasters) Hydra (recolored Darkwing), Buster (recolored Dreadwind),
Lightfoot (Getaway), and Ginrai (Powermaster Optimus Prime cab);
the two human preteens and later Cybertron Headmaster Juniors Shuta
(modified Siren) and Minerva (modified Nightbeat);
and the Seacons, who form King Poseidon (Piranacon).
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. A sharpen filter was applied.

This is the second opening,
found at the beginning of the later Transformers: Chohjin Masterforce episodes.
This opening focuses on Overlord and Ginrai's various forms.
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. This revision is a sharper version of the original file.
Description of the events in the video:
This is the second Transformers: Chohjin Masterforce intro. It begins with the humans Ginrai (at center) and the Headmaster Juniors Shuta (at left), Cab (at top), and Minerva (at right) running out and to the left with Mount Fuji as their background before the series logo (Transformers: Chohjin Masterforce) appears.
Ginrai then changes into his Godmaster form (aka Hi-Q outside Japan) with his glowing Masterforce bracelets. King Poseidon (called Piranacon outside Japan) emerges from the snow to blast him, but Ginrai jumps out of the way and merges with his cab and trailer to form the glowing Super Ginrai. Giga and Mega in their Godmaster forms also combine with their tank and jet vehicles and merge them to form Overlord.
From left to right, the humans Roadking, Lightfoot, and Ranger (called Rev, Lube, and Hotwire respectively outside Japan) and their vehicles show up, with the humans appearing in their Godmaster forms inside them. After gliding over a waterfall they transform into their robot forms (Slapdash, Getaway, and Joyride from left to right).
Super Ginrai yanks King Poseidon around and throws him crashing explosively into the snow, with a wreckage of the Seacon combiner's foot landing behind him. Super Ginrai then shoots at Overlord, who blocks the blast and returns fire. The Cybertron leaps over the return fire and kicks Overlord, who sends his jet nosecone/shield after him. He turns it aside and fires back, and then punches and kicks Overlord into the ground.
Cab, Shuta, and Minerva then show up driving Godbomber, who then leaps up into the air and combines with Super Ginrai to form God Ginrai. As the behemoth stands there, the humans leap out and land in front of him.

This is the ending
found at the end of the Transformers: Chohjin Masterforce episodes.
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 good on my 17" monitor.
Description of the events in the video:
This is the ending for the Transformers: Chohjin Masterforce episodes, featuring the six Cybertron and Destron Headmaster Juniors humans and their transforming vehicles/beasts. Shuta (a recolor of Siren) shows up first, followed by Wilder (Fangry), Cab (Hosehead), Bullhorn (Horri-Bull), Minerva (a recolored and female version of Nightbeat), and Cancer (Squeezeplay). Shuta shows up again before the end, joined by the others.

This is a Japanese commercial for the Overlord figure.
Technical details:
The source is a second-generation videotape, but its video quality is still very good IMHO.
Description of the events in the video:
The commercial for Overlord contains his transformation sequence from a SR-71 Blackbird jet and tank to a robot, complete with the deployment of Overlord's arsenal of weapons. Overlord looks really great here, especially when surrounded by the ruins of what appears to be a former city at night.
