Synopsis

The evil Gigatron has led his forces of Destrongers to Earth, where they seek to pillage the planet for its vast energy resources in order to fuel their war against the Autobots. If successful, the Destrongers will finally be able to tip the scale of power in the war to their favor, eliminating the Autobots and moving on to conquer the universe. To this end, the Destrongers kidnap the scientist Dr. Ohnishi, Earth's leading scientist on energy and natural resources.

Dr. Oonishi's son, Koji, is contacted by none other than Fire Convoy, who takes the boy on a mission to rescue his father. Although Fire Convoy and the other Autobots fight valiantly, they are unable to rescue the doctor from the Destrongers. Now it is up to the Autobots and Koji to rescue Dr. Oonishi and protect the Earth and its resources from Gigatron and his army.

Background

Transformers: Car Robots was the first Japanese-produced Transformers cartoon to be dubbed and broadcasted in the United States. The show was brought to the U.S. in order to keep a Transformers series on the air while Transformers Armada remained in development.

Note: The U.S. broadcast episode order is different from the Japanese broadcast episode order.

This particular show is perhaps the most little-known chapter of the whole saga, but is able to stand on its own as an enjoyable work in its own right.

This show was one of the first Japanese TF shows to be brought over to the US; it was part of the anime boom that occurred in the 1990s and 2000s ...

I'm Gen Z! I love this show. I watched the Dub, and Sub. My Favorite Character is Scourge Aka Black Convoy Aka Nemisis Prime because he's an Evil Optimus Prime Aka Fire Convoy. I think the Sub is better in terms of story because the Sub is apart of G1, and the Last Transformers G1 show. In the Dub this show is separate. I was confused because in the Dub Optimus is Optimus, but in Japan Fire Convoy is another Prime Aka Convoy. I think Scourge is dumb name for an Evil Optimus Prime.
