Super Ginrai (Powermaster Optimus Prime)

However, notice that Super Ginrai didn't have all of the weapons that goes with the figure until later. It is probably because he didn't know how to summon them yet if they were hidden away somewhere, or they weren't built for him until later. As for the trailer's base mode, that doesn't appear until much later near the end of the series itself. However, it can be seen twice in the first original opening sequence (intro) of the Masterforce series.

Here are my pictures of Super Ginrai from the series:

• Upper body (20K, series, 11/2/98).
• Close view of head (19K, series, 11/2/98).
• Relaxing on a sunny day (24K, series, 11/2/98). It looks like the animators were also goofing off here. :P

Among other things, compared to the non-Japanese version Powermaster Optimus Prime (18K, figure, 9/4/98), the Japanese version has diecast metal for part of the cab, blue translucent windows for the cab, silver chrome on the front surface of his upper legs and on the cab's smokestacks, darker grey color, and blue and retractable fists. However, in the Masterforce series Super Ginrai was drawn with red fingers and blue palms.

Below is an English translation of Super Ginrai's specs card (from the back of the box), his bio info card (from inside the box), and his tech specs "SPECCHART" graph card (from the back of the box), respectively, by Doug Dlin (apcog@hotmail.com):
