The malevolent Gigatron has led his forces of destruction, known as Destrongers, to Earth in search of its abundant energy resources. Their ultimate goal is to use these resources to fuel their ongoing war against the Autobots and eventually gain control over the universe. To achieve this objective, the Destrongers kidnapped Dr. Ohnishi, Earth's leading scientist on energy and natural resources. Dr. Oonishis son, Koji, was contacted by Fire Convoy, who enlisted his help in rescuing his father from the clutches of the Destrongers. Despite their best efforts, Fire Convoy and the other Autobots were unable to save Dr. Ohnishi. Now it falls upon the Autobots and Koji to rescue Dr. Oonishi and safeguard Earth's resources from Gigatron and his army.

Transformers: Car Robots was the first Japanese-produced Transformers cartoon to be dubbed and broadcasted in the United States. The show was brought to the U.S. in order to keep a Transformers series on the air while Transformers Armada remained in development.Note: The U.S. broadcast episode order is different from the Japanese broadcast episode order.
