The leader Cybertrons (Autobots). A wise, father-like leader whose unmatched bravery and compassion serve to inspire his robot and human allies alike and strike fear into the hearts of his enemies, the Destron (Decepticons). His signature weapon is the **Laser Rifle** (レーザーライフル ), also known as the **Ion Blaster** in the US. In most incarnations, his alternate mode is a truck, although its exact model tends to vary depending on the entry.

His love interest is Elita-One (AKA Ariel) and his lifelong rival is [Megatron](https://anilist.co/character/3920/Megatron).

Note: He is often distinguished from other characters bearing the Convoy title by being referred to as **G1 Convoy**.

It is the year 2005. Twenty-one years after the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons resumed their neverending war on planet Earth, the Decepticons have conquered the robots' home planet Cybertron. After a surprise attack by the Decepticons, both factions wage a gruesome battle at Autobot City. In the midst of the battle, Autobot leader Optimus Prime dies during his fight with Decepticon leader Megatron. The Autobot Matrix of Leadership is then passed on to second-in-command Ultra Magnus. Meanwhile, a badly-damaged Megatron is jettisoned by Starscream into deep space, where he encounters the planet-eating robot Unicron and is reborn as Galvatron, the new Decepticon leader. With Galvatron's reign on the rise and Unicron's imminent arrival within Cybertron's orbit, the Autobots must act quickly and protect the Matrix or face total annihilation.

Headmasters starts with Galvatron leading a new batch of Destrons to wage war on Seibertron, the Destron Headmasters. The Cybertrons are rescued by the arrival of the Cybertron Headmasters, led by Fortress (Cerebros, the head of Fortress Maximus). It is revealed that Fortress left Seibertron millions of years ago in search of energy, and have finally managed to come home. He explains that the Headmasters are from a planet called Master; the human-sized robots who live there built themselves Transformers-sized bodies. They can then transform themselves into the heads of the robots, and have now joined the Cybertron-Destron war.

A crossover between Mazinger Z and the Transformers series, with each chapter drawn by a different artist.

Contains the three chapters of Kiss Players serialised in Dengeki Daioh between August and November 2006, and the 26 single-page Information Administration Teletraan 15 Go! Go! strips serialised in Hobby Japan between July 2005 and September 2007. Kiss Players 
Faced with the possibility of her own demise, the timid Atari Hitotonari makes a decision that will change her life and ends up becoming a "Kiss Player", one of a few human females that, through a quirk of fate, gained the ability to fuse with giant robots and fight suggestive creepy lecherous robots and monsters. 15 Go!
