Transformers: Galaxy Rangers

Transformers: Galaxy Rangers (トランスフォーマー：ギャラクシーレンジャー Toransufōmā: Gyarakushīrenjā) is an animated series available via DVDs packaged with TV Magazine and TV-Kun, and was also aired on TOKYO MX and its stations. It was the first exclusively Japanese-produced Transformers cartoon in 9 years. The animation for the series is provided by Tatsunoko Production, just like the previous cartoon. It is the spiritual successor to Triple Combination: Transformers Go!.
== Overview ==
Setting takes place after 8 years of Transformers Go!, a new villainous team, named Apocalypticons, has established by Undead Megatron, his minions, known as the Four Devastators (4人の荒廃者), and Nemesis Exprime. Their squad's goal is to unearth the planet. However, in order to restore their ruined world to full power, they must obtain five mystical items known as Pandora Orbs, which have been hidden away. Two three-member teams of Autobot combiners, each belonging to subgroup called the Swordbots, have likewise been summoned to counter this new Apocalypticon threat. Answering the call of two second-year high school students, the Swordbot Samurai Team comes to aid Haruka Kikuno, and the Swordbot Shinobi Team teams up with Kazunori Tsuta. The two teams use their combination abilities to clash the Apocalypticons, and recruit both Haruka and Kazunori to help them in their fight. And with the guidance of Bumblee, both teams must find all of the remaining Pandora Orbs.
