Super Ginrai/Powermaster Prime

I'm trying to understand something, but it doesn't really make any sense to me.
So you have Powermaster Optimus Prime, and in Japan he Super Ginrai.
From what I've understood, Ginrai is a totally seperate character on his own right. So is he really Optimus Prime?
Am I totally wrong?
Really, I have no clue.
I don't believe anything Hasbro ever says, so am I just ignorrant or something?
I just can't find the simularities.
Can someone please staighten this out for me? I really want to know if Ginrai is Optimus Prime.

Re: Super Ginrai/Powermaster Prime

It's poorly explained in the cartoon apparently.

Ginrai is a human (I think) who drives around in a transformer body (transtector) which just happens to look exactly like Optimus Prime.

Re: Super Ginrai/Powermaster Prime

Are Ginrai (Optimus wannabe) and Victory Leo (Optimus Prime rebuilt) coexisting at some point?

Re: Super Ginrai/Powermaster Prime

I thought they used whatever was left of Prime's spark to build Victory Leo or something?

Re: Super Ginrai/Powermaster Prime

Nevermind, just found out he's Ginrai-Transtector-now-operating-as-an-individual-robot rebuilt. Get out of my Prime collection dude, you have nothing to do with Prime!

Re: Super Ginrai/Powermaster Prime

Spoiler alert...

At the end of Masterforce the humans are separated from their transtectors and the transtectors gain sentience. They keep their human counterpart's names and eventually in Victory, God Ginrai becomes Victory Leo
