Notes

• This episode is the second of three The Headmasters clip shows produced for direct to video release (although also broadcast outside of the Kantō region), serving as an overview of the third season of the Generation 1 cartoon (or Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers 2010, as it was known in Japan, hence the episode's title). Following an introduction to the new status quo of the season, the show focuses on the trials and tribulations of Rodimus Prime, from his voyage into the Matrix, through his battle with an undead Optimus Prime, to his struggle with the mantle of leadership and his eventual acceptance of the role, using clips from "Five Faces of Darkness" parts one and four, "Dark Awakening", "The Ultimate Weapon" and "The Burden Hardest to Bear". The episode also opens with some brief footage from the end of The Transformers: The Movie, but it's the footage that was reused for "Five Faces of Darkness," Part 1, which is where the Japanese got their mitts on it, since the movie wasn't available to them yet.
• Rather than conclude with the normal credits of The Headmasters, this episode ends with the American opening sequence for season 2 of the original cartoon, with Japanese text credits overlaid on top.
