Transformers: Zone OAV Summary

Violenjiger, a face not even a mother could love

The first episode of Transformers: Zone starts out with the Destrons attacking a planet before the arrival of Victory Saber and Galaxy Shuttle. The inhabitants load up into Galaxy Shuttle and they depart just as the planet is destroyed, but Victory Saber does not make it out after saving Kaim and his cute little Zone bunny, Emusa. Violenjiger gathers his nine generals and orders them to capture the Cybertron Zodiac, an energy source pretty much equivalent with the Matrix. At the Cybertron base, things are quiet, until suddenly the Destrons attack with Menasaur, Overlord and Abominus. The Cybertrons try to counter with Countdown and the Air Strike patrol, but they are completely overmatched. They try to follow the Destrons, but Black Zarak shows up and immobilizes the rocket. As the Rescue Squad work on repairs, Dai Atlas and Roadfire appear, carrying a weakened and heavily-damaged Victory Saber. The two of them are sent by Victory Saber to retrieve the Zodiac. Meanwhile, the Destrons go wild, attacking the Cybertrons on Earth with Predaking, Devastator, King Poseidon and Trypticon. Suddenly, Dai Atlas and Roadfire appear and do battle with the gestalts. Dai Atlas heads underground and finds the missing Zodiac, but then Devastator and King Poseidon attack. He manages to unleash a river of lava on top of Devastator, and King Poseidon tries to escape with the Zodiac. The Cybertrons mange to get it back, but now face Trypticon, Predaking and King Poseidon. Dai Atlas manages to unleash the power of the Zodiac and he and Sonic Bomber transform into a powerful base, which blasts King Poseidon and Trypticon out of the picture, leaving on Predaking, who tries to escape. Dai Atlas jumps on Sonic Bomber's back and chases after the gestalt, slicing him from head to crotch, destroying him. For their efforts, Victory Saber proclaims them heroes and names Dai Atlus as the new commander in a grand ceremony in front of the other Cybertrons.

In the rest of the series documented in TV Magazine, Violenjiger manages to recapture the Zodiac, kidnapping Kaim and his friend Akira in the rocket that they are in. It is soon learned that Violenjiger has the ability to split off into three robot insects. The Cybertrons manage to defeat the trio, but then he comes back as a phoenix formed from the spirit of the dead Destrons. However, Dai Atlas, Sonic Bomber and Roadfire merge into Big Powered and they destroy Violenjiger once and for all.
