Super Ginrai
The events that would bring Ginrai into contact with the Transformers began an indeterminate number of years ago, when the super-energy alien being and self-styled "Decepticon god" Devil Z stole several transtectors, from an area of space known as the G Nebula, the transtectors were then scattered across the Earth by Devil Z, including one intended to be used by the legendary Autobot leader Optimus Prime. Devil Z planned to have human beings bond to the transtectors, thereby creating a new super-robotic lifeform: Godmasters.
Through undivulged circumstances, the transtector intended for Prime assumed the form of a red tractor trailer cab and came to rest in a small Esso garage in California. The unwitting rent-a-car seller rented the cab to several truckers, but always found it returned early with complaints of unusual, even supernatural, incidents.
Ginrai
Ginrai was born in Nagano, Japan at an unknown time. But Ginrai always felt out of place at his home so he traveled to America at age 17 and became a truck driver to find himself. Two years after coming to America, Ginrai happened to be transporting an ill dolphin from Baney Aquarium to the Ocean Research Institute of California, which was run, unbeknownst to him, by the Autobot Pretender Diver. Destiny stepped in when Ginrai's truck broke down on the way, and he pulled in at this very garage, where the owner rented him the transtector to complete his delivery.
In the glove box of the cab, he discovered a pair of Master-Braces and slipped them on his wrists, only to discover that he was unable to remove them. When Diver laid eyes upon the bracelets, he recognized the basic design of them and insisted that Ginrai take him back to the garage where he had found the truck. On the way, however, they were attacked by the Decepticon Godmaster brothers Hydra and Buster, who forced the truck off a cliff.
Accidentally touching the bracelets as he attempted to escape the crushed cab, Ginrai was infused with the Masterforce, and a suit of armor materialized around him, healing both himself and the transtector as they combined and transformed. Now a Godmaster himself, Ginrai saw the shocked Decepticons off...

Alt mode 360 GIF.
Top of the trailer.
Remove the front part from the trailer.
Back.
Side.
There is a seat in the truck for 'Headmaster' Ginrai.
The neck piece of Super Ginrai form a seat, the middle piece which protruded is a clip for holding Ginrai legs.
Nice details with blue paint, nice paint job, this area look like separated parts.
The trailer rear entrance is big enough for Chromedome, but...
...but the Super Ginrai chest parts is obstructing the way into the trailer.
This trailer is only good for Headmasters support vehicles. (new Roller?)
Can load three support vehicles in the trailer.
Wheelie is also fitted in the trailer.
Full weapons on the trailer truck.
There is several pegs on the trailer for Headmasters.
Compare with Ultra Magnus.
Back.
Both almost same length, but Super Ginrai is much more complicated on the inside.
Comparing the truck head.
Ultra Magnus is a lot more futuristic than Super Ginrai version.
Cockpit comparison. (it's a shame that passenger can't ride in the Ultra Magnus vehicle mode)
"Autobots, roll out!!"
Robot mode 360 GIF.
Almost 9 inches tall. This is not a hard level transforming steps toys, still manage to transform it without the instructions menu. (haven't open the instruction bag when I edit this post, I could be missing some special stuff, hehe)
Close up on the head, it is hard to see the eyes without illuminate lights in to the helmet.
Trying different Headmasters head for what it look like. Left to right: Original Ginrai, Highbrow and Weirdwolf.
How it look like when plug the head on. (I am thinking of Puppet Master's Pinhead now...)
Chest piece of Super Ginrai. Fake Powermaster Ginrai piece on the middle of chest. (just saw a new product announce from Perfect Effect weeks ago, they gonna release a normal Ginrai mode mods for this LG-35, with Powermaster Ginrai, very cool, thinking of getting the mod sets)
Some exhaust details under the trailer panel.
The most different parts from Super Ginrai ver. to Powermaster Prime ver, the feet.
The huge calf area is made of a square box shape, I think it is same like the Powermaster version.
There is a 3mm peg hole on the hip area, probably for God Ginrai use, flying pose.
Head can still turn 360 after combining the Headmaster Ginrai.
Shoulder joint move out more than 45 degree angles.
Elbow joint only got 90 degree angle fold.
Articulation of the leg, not bad for box-like leg.
Two long blasters for weapons, like G1 version. The blasters is a little too thin, a bit wimpy look.
The two cannons can be combine, but still don't know what for. (looks good in combine form, it would be perfect if the peg could fold down, haha)
Dual gunner Super Ginrai.
The dual cannon turret can combine with the blasters.
The peg holes on the wrist is also compatible with 5mm post weapons, with the blasters plug on the shoulder. (the peg holes is for God Ginrai use)
Equip with Ultra Magnus shoulder rocket pack, looks cool.
Headmaster Ginrai. (not Powermaster)
Side. The arms is thinner than usual Headmasters.
With a small rotated Prime face (with big eyes).
Compares to Galvatron's head. (Ginrai's face resemblance to G1 version)
Base mode.
With full of other weapons on the base.
Several places to put support vehicles.
Very playable design like old G1 toys.
Compare with G1 Super Ginrai. (ancient artifact, colors turned, missing parts... My childhood favorite before Starsaber)
Compares to Ultra Magnus.
Back. Almost 95% percent of the parts on UM and S-Ginrai is not same, I can only found three kinds of the parts are same, shoulders side armor piece (with 5mm peg hole), back round piece for holding the truck, wheels (I didn't check the ratchet parts, maybe some of them is same). Mostly parts is a bit same (like positions, shapes), but it is heavily modified/different details. (p.s.: maybe all the screws are same?? Lol. 😆)
Compare with Primo Vitalis (IDW not-Optimus Prime), almost same height.
"Yay! Jinrai Oniisan is back to save the day!!" 😄
Compares with Combiners.
Ginrai is stick with Headmasters crew now. (did they wanna release Powermasters characters?? I know Overlord is a possibility now...)
Prime, Convoy, Convoy, Convoy and Ginrai! (Mine mostly Takara's Prime... 😇)
Powermasters Super Ginrai!!
Ginrai in the anime is like martial art master, flying kick, flying punch, damn't cool.
"Stay down, Decepticons!"
Shoulder cannons engage!!
"Stop, Galvatron, you have lose this battle!"
"Why you won't listen to me? Tyrant!"
"I am not that easy to be defeat in super form, Combiner!"
Starsaber and Super Ginrai. (where is MP Leo? takara! 😬)
