Synopsis
The Decepticon Godmasters show up along with the Pretenders and the Headmaster Juniors at the seashore. Meanwhile, the Godmaster brothers have already set out earlier in the morning to "welcome" Ginrai, who is about to arrive in Japan from the United States of America.
Hawk and the Headmaster Juniors arrive at Harumi Wharf to pick Ginrai up, but they don't see the cargo boat boarded by Ginrai. Hawk worries about why Ginrai has still not arrived yet and calls Diver to ask whether something bad happened has happened to him. Diver tells Hawk not to worry because Ginrai resembles the "hero".
Hydra and Buster arrive at the harbor and combine into Darkwings right after Hawk ends the call, forcing the Autobots to change into their Transformer forms. Metalhawk then gets struck down immediately by the Godmaster brothers. While Hydra and Buster are having their moment, the cargo ship arrives at the harbor. Ginrai drives his truck out from the cargo boat in his Master Suit; he and the truck then transform into robot mode and use "Super-Soul Guts" to blow Hydra and Buster far away.
Hawk talks to Ginrai as the Sun sets. Hawk thinks Ginrai must be the reincarnation of Optimus Prime since he is an Autobot savior with a solar-red body and a hot-blooded mind. Hawk is convinced that Ginrai embodies the power of the hero entrusted to him by the god of the universe. Ginrai, however, thinks he has nothing to do with that and just wants to live one day at a time, and that is the reason he joined the Autobots.
Hawk is very pleased with Ginrai and everyone welcomes him. Yay!
