IncredibleShrinkingMan: Gene and Karen along with their CombiningMecha are shrunk to enter Ivy's body and fight off the virus that's infected her (which is rather strangely portrayed as goblin-like warriors and shrunken enemy mecha).
* LiteralAssKickingLiteralAssKicking: Biphon gets Mary to surrender by repeatedly kicking her in the butt.



* ShowerScene: Ivy's in the shower when the assassin sneaks into her house and shoots her.

''Micro-Commando Diatron-5'', better known as ''Space Transformers'', is a [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs perplexingly insane]] and incredibly low-quality pseudoanime straight from South Korea. The plot focuses around a {{Cyborg}} woman named Ivy, who defends the entire universe from enemies with her built-in evil-sensing computers. The enemy infects her with a virus. Now the only one to save her is Diatron-5, a HumongousMecha shrunk down to microscopic size that goes in to fight the bacteria. Two kids, a battle station called the "Franchise/StarWars" and Diatron's inventor join her in the battle against evil. Evil being an androgynous woman named Mary, her brother with blue skin who looks suspiciously like [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Spock]] and their fleet of robots and forest green demon-like aliens.

If its US and UK, then its Same Language Dub


It was [[DuelingDubs dubbed twice]]; first with an American-sounding cast under the name ''Micro-Commando Diatron-5'', which can be viewed [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYJUfjsSiBY here]], and later on under the name ''Space Transformers'' with a British-sounding cast (some being from Space Thunder Kids as well), released by infamous producer [[Film/GodfreyHoNinjaMovies Joseph Lai]], that can be downloaded [[http://www.archive.org/details/SpaceTransformer here.]]

** Also a bunch of character designs were lifted straight from ''Anime/SpaceRunawayIdeon'', with minimal changes (when the differences aren't just OffModel-ness outright), like Cosmo's lookalike losing the afro and the evil general being just a blue-haired and gray-skinned Damido with more Spock like features.

*** All of the above were due to the then-current South Korean ban on Japanese media. Korean audiences were fascinated with anime (mostly seen through bootlegs), and animation houses in Korea were happy to oblige with legal, if [[ShoddyKnockoffProduct somewhat fly-by-night]], product.

* FantasticVoyagePlot: Perhaps the only one to involve a giant robot, and once inside Ivy's body, nothing at all even remotely resembles a normal human-body's insides. It's not even like ''Film/OsmosisJones'' where the white blood cells are people, there's just a whole complete Earth with human kingdoms inside her galaxy!

* BloodlessCarnage: The red soldiers are shot down by Crackle, yet no wounds appear. Their clothes aren't even torn! However, this is probably due to the cheap animation rather than censorship.

* TheMockbuster: To their credit, the plot is fairly original (if insane), but almost everything else was ripped off from something else. Interestingly, it does ''not'' rip off ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'', at least not directly. The "Diatron 5" is actually Battle Buffalo, a robot from Takara's ''Diaclone'' toyline, which was also the source of about half the cast of G1, including Optimus, but Buffalo itself was never imported under the TF brand. Ironically, this film is probably the only reason anybody remembers it.
