Here's a note from supervisor Manabu Ono:

"Galaxy Force" as a story, is independent of the past story. The original Transformers tale is the existence of which was not recognized by mankind.

-------------------------------------------------

Cyberton Forces:

Galaxy Convoy

The Supreme Commander of the Cybertons who is the first at the scene and fights to the end. To his subordinates, he is also an extreme warm-hearted leader which they can depend on & also his pliability which they have taken in their opinions positively. Although a weak/cowardice attitude may bee seen at times from his subordinates, even if it is in a difficult situation, he never abandons his companions & always gives his best. Furthermore, there is a rumor in the universe of a Transformers with the name of "Convoy" other than him exists.

 

Dreadlock

He is sincere & is a vice-commander whose reliance is also thick. He is also a realist who can clearly advocate objections from a clear point of view to make difficult judgements & simultaneouly manages the given command exactly when it is given. At the time of the Earth migration, he proposed disquising himself so not to disturb the Earth governments.

 

Exellion

The youngest warrior who is proud of his team & fastest at speeds like the wind.

His confidence is superfuously raw, and he is unyielding & he is not effective at self-control. Although he respects Galaxy Convoy who is the commander & dreams of the future, he severly dislikes the treatment he receives preaching of sermons that he is an inexperienced/immature person.

 

Guardshell

A veteran fighter with abundant experience. Although as tough as his appearance shows, he excels in the way to survive on the battlefield, his thoughts of peace is stronger than others. He is a owner of a sincere & sturdy chivalry soul, and considers it to be his mission to protect the strengh, the "weak" Earth people.

 

Jack Shot

Though short in stature, he is proud of his marvelous strength of Team One, a powerful fighting faction warrior. Rather than words, action is respected and he also bravely fights against a formidable opponent. Although he is entrusted in heavy labor in many cases, originally he is not of low intelligence, feels dissatisfaction not to be made the fool.

 

Back Pack

Operator of a grumbling store. Altough he has outstanding analytical capabilities, he does not have self-confidence and is nervous and a worrier. Though intellectual, his eccentric character manifests by masochistic dark humor.

 

Vector Prime

Ancient Transformer who has continued to supervise/watch space & time from far ancient times & which he is called "Ancient". In order to prevent the crisis of all the universes, he appears before Galaxy Convoy and appeals for the recovery of the planet force. Although both are consideredas Cybertron, he is without there being a singularity of a family line & being able to melt into a team.

 

Microns

Small Transformers with many mysteries accompanying Vector Prime. They are full of curiosity and enjoys interaction with the children. Their information of Earth is promptly absorbed through the Internet.

 

Destron Forces:

Master Megatron

Enemy number one of the universe, the great destructive emperor of the Destrons who is feared. His is the ultimate egoist & the existence of those other than himself is not even noticed. By the fact of the Planet Force of all the planets are obtained, one is evolved into the perfect existence like God, creating a new universe by right. He is a triple changer who has the ability to change to car mode & jet mode.

 

Starscream

Although he participates as the faithful right arem of Master Megatron, he is ambitious individual whose vigilant eye targets at the seat of the great emperor. He excels in both martial/military arts & resources & speed especially in vehicle mode is proud at the top class even in all Transformers. Tranformation is a future type fighter plane.

 

Thundercracker

The meal of three times compared to his punk existence who likes to fight. He is moved by the command of Master Megatron & Starscream. Although his abilities are immature, his excessive raw being & aggressive desire heightens the morale of the whole Destron army. Transformation is an Earth type fighter plane.

"Transformers Galaxy Force" is the sequel of the animation work Transformers Super Link (North America title name "Transformers Energon") with which our company dealt with & will also begin to broadcast in North America in 2005.

Eh? so it IS set after energon but the earth puplic dont know about the past events. sort of a goverment cover up? or is the US a squal and japanese independant?

 

P.s. whos the guy under convoy next to Accelion

Does anyone else think the intended Romanization for "Land Pallet" is actually "Land Bullet"? In the catalog scans, the h/f sound has a dakuten to alter it to a b sound rather than the handakuten necessary for a p sound. Besides, it's just a more sensible name for a race car :)

To me that almost sounds like they are just saying "this is the second Transformers series we've animated, but it's a completely new story."

Wheres the Bios for the Kids?

It seems to me like they are getting way out there with the plot of this show. My brain hurts from trying to figure out exactly what direction it's going in. It's a continuation, it's different, who the hell knows exactly what it is? I sure don't.

 

I won't judge anything until I see it but I'm not getting a very good feeling about it. The figures rock though! At least thats something I know I'm looking forward to. :thumb

yes, but this is the first TF series for GONZO.

It takes until the second episode for the Transformers to actually turn up in any real way?

 

Armada! All! Over! Again!

 

Not that I'm leaping to conclusions here.

*ahem*

 

"The original Transformers tale"

 

Original Transformers tale = G1

 

It's the G1 story and universe that's not being acknowledged here, not Armada or Energon.

i'm kinda confused about the continuity thing...
