Ep. 26: Ginrai erleidet eine kritische Verletzung, während Star Saber verzweifelte Angriffe auf Desaras führt

26

An attempt by Desaras to ambush and finish off Star Saber results in Ginrai, who intervenes at the last moment, being badly wounded, while Star Saber and Blacker are likewise left injured. With several of their most powerful Autobot opponents out of commission, Desaras and his forces press their advantage and attack two energy facilities at once, easily decimating the pitifully inadequate human defense forces. Unable to stand by, Star Saber insists on going into battle despite his wounds, taking Laster and Braver with him as backup to engage Desaras and the Breast Force at a solar energy station. Meanwhile, Dashtacker and Machtackle are battling the Dinoforce at another facility, and Blacker insists on accompanying Wingwaver and the Rescue Team there to back them up despite his own injuries. Ginrai, meanwhile, is in critical condition and being examined by Minerva, Perceptor, and Wheeljack (despite the latter's demise in The Transformers: The Movie which initially wasn't released in Japan until 1989), and starts to lose hope that he will ever be able to fight for the Autobot cause again. However, the trio of doctors eventually inform him-despite Perceptor's reluctance-that there may be a way he can rejoin the battle, but it will involve him being entirely reconstructed. Determined to take this path, Ginrai calls the weakened Star Saber back from the field, and then explains his intention to undergo the procedure and be reborn as a power up for Star Saber. Star Saber refuses to allow it, but Ginrai refuses to be deterred. The Decepticons' energy thefts prove successful and the Autobots are left beaten and demoralized, but then bear witness as Ginrai's transformation begins. (Source: Wikipedia)
