I'll explain Headmasters first since they're easier to understand. A
Headmaster is a Transformer whose Robot Mode head detaches from its body and transforms into its own smaller Robot Mode. The larger body can transform into its alternate mode without the head.
The innovation of Headmaster technology led to the creation of other "-master" Transformers. The first ones to follow the Headmasters were the Targetmasters. A
Targetmaster is a Transformer whose handgun weapon turns into a smaller robot partner.
After these two came the
Powermasters, whose smaller robot companions turn into the larger Transformers' engines.
These three groups are usually seen as the "Big 3" of the "Master" technology, with many others usually being derivations of them. The aforementioned
Godmasters are the Japanese equivalents of the Powermasters, though their nature is a bit more mystical than technological.
