Scramble City (1986, Japan) is a half-hour original animated video (OAV) that bridged the transition from the "contemporary" era of "
Fight! Super Robot Life Transformers" to the year 2006. It was made by combining original animated footage with existing American cartoon clips into one fight-filled festival. The large Gestalts (Superion, Menasor, Bruticus, Devastator, and Defensor) played leading roles, while Trypticon, Ultra Magnus, and Metroplex make brief appearances. The name comes from the story´s premise of "scramble power." The Gestalts could rearrange their limbs (swapping an arm for a leg, for instance) to gain advantage in battle. Check out the ALL NEW
