Ranger (1988)
Released in the fourth year of Takara‘s Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers line under the Super-God Masterforce banner, Godmaster Ranger is a redeco of the Hasbro Powermaster Nebulan Hotwire, transforming from armored humanoid into an engine block. In engine mode, he can plug into the engine socket of any larger Godmaster/Powermaster toy, unlocking their transformation or other gimmicks.
Ranger’s Transtector is a hyper-light-blue and red redeco of Hasbro’s Joyride, transforming into a baja buggy, which, like any Godmaster, cannot transform into robot mode until a Godmaster/Powermaster figure in engine mode and snapped into place in the toy’s chassis. (Or you can just press the tiny release button via some other method. The engine method is easier on the fingertips though.) The roof of the buggy mode has a 5 mm post-hole to mount the “Napalm Blaster” rifle.
The Godmaster engine portion of this toys was redecoed into the Masterforce Warrior Aquastar.
