[[Image:Leozack boxart.jpg|right|275px|thumb|I hope Mr. Belding doesn't find out about our rascally scheme, [[Screech (Action Master)|Screech]].]]
'''Leozack''' (レオザック ''Reozakku'') is the commander of the elite Decepticon [[Breastforce]] and notionally [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]]'s most trusted warrior...except he really can't be trusted at all. Leozack despises being anything less than the top 'bot and is constantly struggling to have it all—including leadership of the Decepticons. Unlike [[Starscream (G1)|those that have come before]], however, Leozack is smart enough to keep his ambitions hidden from his emperor, preferring to gather the resources and power necessary to fuel his dreams of conquest in secret. The thing is, Deathsaurus is fully aware of Leozack's dreams and schemes, and to say that he doesn't rate Leozack as a threat would be putting it mildly. In Deathsaurus's eyes, Leozack is an overzealous youth with ideas above his station, and while he conceals his awareness of Leozack's treachery from him, he never misses a chance to make his contempt for Leozack well-known. This drives Leozack absolutely crazy, and he often takes irrational risks trying to prove to Deathsaurus that he is a capable warrior.

As a member of the Breastforce, Leozack is partnered with a transforming breastplate which can detach and transform into his [[Breast Animal]] partner, the [[Lionbreast]], or the handheld "Leo Cannon". Like his fellow Breastforcers, Leozack also wields an [[Electromagnetic Nunchaku]]. Leozack can combine with his fellow Breastforce warriors into [[Liokaiser]], forming the upper torso of the super robot.

[[Image:Leozack dynamicentry.jpg|left|180px|thumb|The power of JAZZ HANDS!]]
Leozack was summoned by Deathsaurus to bolster his forces in preparation for their campaign against the [[Earth]]. Leozack was put in charge of the first plan, which involved the [[Dinoforce]] attacking the [[Autobot]]s' base while Leozack himself intended to confront [[Star Saber (Victory)|Star Saber]]. The Dinoforce went about their task and drew Star Saber out, and both Leozack and Deathsaurus, watching the conflict from afar on the ''[[Thunder Arrow]]'', were taken aback to see the Autobot leader piloting the [[V-Star]] battlecraft, which they had never seen before. Leozack was about to head out to battle Star Saber, but Deathsaurus suggested he hold back and observe this new turn of events instead. Leozack did so, and rather predictably, the Dinoforce were defeated. {{storylink|Sneak Attack! Dinoking}}

[[Image:Victory ep4 sandhide.jpg|right|190px|thumb|Seriously, how does he DO that?]]
The ''Thunder Arrow'' subsequently set down on Earth, and Leozack vowed to end Star Saber's life as a gift to Deathsaurus. He attacked Star Saber when the Autobot leader was bringing his human son [[Jean Minakaze|Jean]] to school, putting the whole campus in danger. Leozack grappled with Star Saber, but with his Lionbreast busy fighting [[Holi]], his torso was left unprotected, leaving him open to a damaging slash from Star Saber's Saber Blade, which forced him to retreat. {{storylink|Attack! Leozack}}

Leozack was soon joined by his Breastforce teammates [[Drillhorn]], [[Jarugar]] and [[Killbison]], and together, they arranged an attack on an energy plant in the desert. The Breastforce hid themselves in the sand and watched as the Dinoforce carried out the attack, but when the Autobot [[Landcross (Victory)|Landcross]] arrived, they emerged to join the battle. Said battle didn't last long, as Star Saber soon arrived as well, and Leozack fled when confronted by the two giants. {{storylink|Unite!! Multiforce}}
[[Image:Leozack vs starsaber.jpg|left|200px|thumb|This is what happens when you don't use fabric softener.]]
With his next plan, Leozack began showing his true colors. Recruiting the Dinoforce to help him, Leozack had them attack the [[Ocean Exhibition]] amusement park, with the intention of turning it into a personal base for himself. He even revealed his ambition to overthrow Deathsaurus to [[Gōryū]], and while the Dinoforce leader was not particularly impressed, he decided to go along with the stunt anyway. Unsurprisingly, the Autobots soon arrived, and Leozack was defeated by Star Saber, after which he attempted to bluff his way out of trouble by telling Deathsaurus that he had intended to turn the park into a seawater energy conversion plant. {{storylink|Move Out! Rescue Team}}

[[Image:Leozack and lionbreast.jpg|right|210px|thumb|His cat is his brother. Hmmm...]]
After leading an infiltration of the Neo Uranium Mines {{storylink|Infiltration... The Uranium Mine}} and helping to gather energy in the Amazon, {{storylink|Explosion!! The Energy Base}} Leozack joined the other Decepticons in stealing energy from an American subway system. The plan was Deathsaurus's own, and Leozack advocated caution, but when Deathsaurus embarrassed him into silence in front of the other Decepticons, he was left in a bad mood for the whole mission. Consequently, Leozack decided to disobey orders and blast the subway tunnels open so they could access the electrical systems more easily. This, of course, attracted the attention of the Autobots, and Leozack wound up battling [[Blacker]] in the cramped underground quarters. When Deathsaurus called retreat, Leozack was unwilling to break off the fight, but when all the other Decepticons abandoned him, he had little choice. {{storylink|Big City - Underground Terror}}
[[Image:Leozack and hellbat.jpg|left|225px|thumb|"You know what? I can't talk to you when you're like this."]]
Hoping to redeem himself for past failures, Leozack summoned another of his Breastforce teammates, [[Hellbat]], to Earth to steal information from the New Energy Resource Research and Development Laboratory in Japan. Unfortunately, Hellbat botched the job, leading to another battle with the Autobots. The Decepticons were defeated by a brainwave scrambler invented by [[Braver]], which Leozack was able to steal as he retreated. Alas, the scrambler only worked on Decepticons, and the dressing-down that Leozack received from Deathsaurus only convinced Hellbat that he could do a better job of leading the Breastforce himself. {{storylink|The New Warrior - Hellbat}} Hellbat proceeded to go over Leozack's head with information he had about an energy shipment being transported in Nevada. Leozack was naturally furious, but Hellbat’s honeyed words convinced Leozack to carry out the attack with him so they could steal the energy for their own personal supply. Of course, the two hapless schemers wound up being once again defeated by Star Saber. {{storylink|Attack the Shuttle Base!!}} Two subsequent missions led by Leozack to steal oil from tankers likewise met with failure, {{storylink|Tanker Hijack Operation}} {{storylink|Rescue Jean!!}} as did the Breastforce's attempt to tap hydroelectric power in [[Canada]]. {{storylink|Mach and Tackle}}

[[Image:Leozack and deathcobra.jpg|right|220px|thumb|"Oh god, nobody panic! Okay, if anyone asks, we just found him like this."]]
Following a scheme to create an energy alloy, {{storylink|A Fierce Battle!! The Asteroid}} Leozack took the Breastforce to the planet [[Micro]], intending to free another of their comrades, [[Gaihawk]], from the Satellite Penitentiary on the planet's moon. Following the success of this mission, {{storylink|Rescue! Gaihawk}} Leozack sought to complete the team by summoning the final member, [[Deathcobra (Victory)|Deathcobra]], to join them. With Deathcobra on the team, Leozack could finally boot out the untrustworthy Hellbat, and the remaining six members could merge into their combined form of [[Liokaiser]]. Learning of this, Hellbat tried to stop Deathcobra from meeting with the others and accidentally wound up killing him in the fight that ensued. He preventing Leozack from discovered this by blaming the Autobot [[Micromaster]] Holi for the deed, and so secured his place as part of Liokaiser. After defeating Star Saber in their first combined outing, {{storylink|Unite! Liokaiser}} Leozack led the team back to Earth, but still couldn't catch a break from Deathsaurus, who opted instead to heap praise on Gaihawk for his role in the battle, then on Hellbat, who had found a new target for the Decepticons in the [[Schaeffer Energy]] plant. The Breastforce combined into Liokaiser to battle Star Saber for the Schaeffer Energy, {{storylink|Battle Up of Wrath!!}} and later merged again to battle him and Landcross at the South Pole. {{storylink|Fight to the Death!! Antarctic Battle}}
[[Image:Deathsaurus vs leozack.jpg|left|210px|thumb|"Are you ticklish... right there??"]]
Leozack and the Breastforce's next plan was one of their best, as they lured their Autobot rivals, the [[Brainmaster]]s, into an ambush in the desert. With the heavy automotive Autobots unable to manoeuvre in the shifting sands, the Breastforce were able to damage Blacker badly and deal a serious blow to the Autobots. {{storylink|Crisis! Ambush in the Desert}} With the Autobots weakened by this loss in manpower, Deathsaurus decided it was time to increase the rate of Decepticon attacks…but this was not a good thing for Leozack, since the first thing Deathsaurus did was set his Breast Animals upon the Breastforce leader, pinning him to the floor of the throne room. Placing his sword against Leozack's face, Deathsaurus informed Leozack that he had always been aware of his second-in-command's ambition to lead the Decepticons, and he offered the would-be traitor a choice: Swear absolute loyalty to him or die. Stuck between a rock and a hard place, Leozack chose the former and aided his emperor in luring Star Saber into a subterranean battle. {{storylink|A Deadly Battle}} This battle left Star Saber badly injured, and the Decepticons kept up the pressure, as Leozack and the Breastforce accompanied Deathsaurus in raiding a solar power station. {{storylink|Ginrai Dies!!}}

Leozack later led missions to steal energy from America's "[[Energy Road]]", and the Mount Asama geothermal power plant, but was stopped on both occasions by Autobot warrior [[Victory Leo]]. {{storylink|Fight!! Victory Leo}} {{storylink|Awaken! Victory Leo}} Victory Leo ''wasn't'' able to interfere with the Decepticons' next energy theft, as the threat of orbital missile bombardment held him at bay, but Leozack disliked the cowardly nature of the scheme. {{storylink|The Tide is Turned! The Ultimate Weapon, the Victory Unification}} Even though it was Deathsaurus's own miscalculations that caused the failure of the plot, he didn't hesitate to blame Leozack. {{storylink|Jean - Defend the Campus!!}}
[[Image:Victory32 starsaberhides.jpg|right|210px|thumb|]]
When Star Saber was off-planet attending a [[Galactic Peace Alliance]] conference, Leozack exploited his absence by donning a large exo-skeleton that allowed him to pose as the Autobot leader. Entering the Autobots' headquarters with the claim that he had intercepted a Decepticon message reporting that bombs had been planted in the base, he searched for the disk containing the information on Star Saber and Victory Leo's combination process while the other Autobots were hunting for the nonexistent explosives. Leozack made Victory Leo suspicious when he accidentally electrocuted himself while rummaging under a console and had to trick Holi and Jean into showing him where the disk was. Leozack nearly got away with the disk, but at the last moment, the real Star Saber returned to expose the villain's deception and send him packing. {{storylink|A Mystery?! The Deception of the Base Bombs}}
[[Image:Victory35 falconpunch.jpg|left|210px|thumb|]]
Leozack's next scheme saw him unleash the metal-eating [[Dorya]] insects upon the Autobots, but the plan went down the tubes when the heroes discovered that intense cold defeated the bugs. {{storylink|The Death-Bringing Space Insects!!}} This resulted in yet ''another'' chewing-out from Deathsaurus, who refused to hear any more of Leozack's plans and simply beat him to a pulp. Hellbat chose that moment to pop up and deliver a secret message to Deathsaurus, which pushed Leozack to the end of his patience with his sneaky subordinate and led him to deliver a beating of his own. Once again, Hellbat sweet-talked Leozack into going along with his plan: the theft of energy from the ancient continent of [[Atlantis]]. {{storylink|The Terror of the Giant Tidal Waves}} The plan succeeded, and the Breastforce and Deathsaurus headed into space aboard the ''Thunder Arrow'' in order to recharge Deathsaurus's [[Planet-Destroying Fortress]] with the stolen energy. The Autobots pursued the villains, but were unable to stop them from bringing the fortress back online. {{storylink|The Wrath of the Resurrected Giant Fortress!}} To keep the Autobots busy while the fortress's main cannon charged, Deathsaurus dispatched the Breastforce—combined as Liokaiser—to battle them. In the course of the clash, Victory Leo was able to blast Liokaiser into the fortress's cannon barrel, which drained his energy dry. With his consciousness fading and his body unable to move, Liokaiser could only utter a fading scream for help as he drifted off into the depths of space. {{storylink|Showdown!

Leozack introduced himself to the Autobots when he embarked on a solo mission to Earth, believing that he could conquer the planet himself. His attack on a city did not go unnoticed by the Autobots, and when Star Saber arrived to stop him, Leozack was able to knock the [[Supreme Commander]] out of the air with his nunchaku. Unfortunately for Leozack, Star Saber's son Jean happened to be watching the battle, and noticed that Leozack was missing his breastplate—the Decepticon had accidentally forgotten to bring it with him! Star Saber immediately targeted his opponent's exposed torso with his Saber Blade and sent Leozack fleeing. {{storylink|Leozack Rumbles Violently!}}

Later, Leozack and the other Breastforcers combined into Liokaiser to battle Star Saber on [[Energy Planet X]]. When the combiner warrior managed to seize Star Saber, his individual components began arguing over who would get the right to destroy the Autobot leader; Leozack believed he should get to do it because he was the leader. Star Saber exploited the opening to turn the battle around, and Liokaiser was defeated and escaped. {{storylink|The Star of Friendship, Jean and Star Saber!}} In their next battle with Star Saber, the Breastforce almost had him defeated thanks to the aid of Deathsaurus and Dinoking, but the tables were turned when Star Saber merged with new arrival Victory Leo to form Victory Saber. {{storylink|The Strongest Partners, the Combination of Victory!}}
[[Image:Lyzack-manga.jpg|left|150px|thumb|A female version of me? That's unheard of!]]
In their next battle, Liokaiser and Deathsaurus were defeated by the Autobots' "Five Stars of Victory" attack technique, and Liokaiser split back into Leozack and the rest of the Breastforce to flee back to Deathsaurus's "Space Stronghold". {{storylink|Shine! The Five Stars of Victory}} From the stronghold, the Decepticons began a final attack on Earth, bombarding the planet with meteors, but Deathsaurus made the mistake of leaving Leozack in charge of the fortress while he battled Star Saber in space. Leozack turned the fortress's main cannon upon Deathsaurus ''and'' Star Saber, but before he could finish them off, Deathsaurus blasted the fortress with his [[Living-Metal-Destroying Cannon]]. Star Saber smashed his way into the fortress control room and slashed Leozack with his "Planetary Impulse Sword", but even as the treacherous Decepticon collapsed, he begged the Autobots not to destroy the fortress. Deathsaurus revealed that the fortress was home to the Decepticons' [[Relatives|families]], and as Leozack was cradled by his [[Relatives|sister]] [[Lyzack]], he explained that they had been fighting to keep them safe. Struck by this revelation, Star Saber decided that it was time for the Autobots and Decepticons to lay down their arms and live in peace—the truest victory of all! {{storylink|Heroic!

Leozack was one of the first to volunteer for [[Skyquake (G1)|Skyquake]]'s experimental [[Seeker (body-type)|Skyraider]] body refitting program. His new body was teeming with so many weapons, he lacked the hardware to implement them automatically; instead, he was forced to use verbal commands to use them individually.

Under [[Banzai-Tron (G1)|Banzai-Tron]]'s command, Leozack and his fellow Skyraider warriors Skyquake, [[Hooligan (G2)|Hooligan]], [[Hellbat]], and [[Gaihawk]], followed the Autobot ship ''[[Eight Track]]'' to the planet [[Beta-Nine]], where they hoped to beat them to a mysterious cargo that had crashed there aboard the ''[[Van De Graaff]].'' Leozack, Skyquake, and Hooligan attacked the Autobots, separating the crew's [[Kup (G1)|youngest member]] from them. The Autobots' commander, [[Thunder Clash|Thunderclash]], drove Leozack and the others away with a barrage of firepower, allowing his crew to escape into the trees where the Decepticons would have to fight them on the ground.

Skyquake departed after Thunder Clash and ordered Leozack and Hooligan to kill the remaining two Autobots, [[Landshark]] and [[Flak]]. Flak leapt out at them, demanding a fight, and Leozack was happy to oblige him. Unfortunately, this was a diversion, and once Flak had occupied their attention, Landshark surprised Leozack with a massive punch.

Leozack and the others were defeated and brought back to Cybertron as prisoners. The battle on Beta-Nine began the Autobot/Decepticon civil war. {{storylink|Wings of Honor}}

==Notes==
*According to the [[BotCon 2009]] fanclub fiction panel, the gist of Leozack's characterization in ''Wings of Honor'' came from the authors' desire to portray him as a stereotypical anime character; at one point, [[Rik Alvarez]] even wanted him to speak entirely in Japanese (!). Though nixed for logistical reasons, the basic idea survived in the form of Leozack's dialogue being rendered in a stylized Asiatic typeface.

====''Victory'' cartoon====
:''Voice actor:'' [[Hiroshi Takemura]] (Japanese)

After the events of the [[Masterforce War]] on Earth, the [[Transtector]] formerly bonded to the human [[Ginrai]]—now having taken its human partner's name as its own, becoming known as Ginrai itself—joined with the Autobot forces in space, where he became good friends with [[Star Saber (Victory)|Star Saber]] and his adopted human son, [[Jean Minakaze]]. Before long, Star Saber was appointed Supreme Commander of the Autobots, while Ginrai became commander of the Defense Force for Space Sector Two. {{storylink|The Brave Hero of the Universe - Star Saber}} Operating out of a base in the G Nebula, Ginrai's time was occupied battling the Decepticon forces under Overlord's control, so much so that Star Saber occasionally had to respond to emergencies in Sector Two, such as a [[Breastforce]] attack on planet [[Micro]]. {{storylink|Planet Micro - The Mysterious Warrior}}

[[Image:Godginrai vs deathsaurus.jpg|thumb|left|180px|]]

Feeling guilty over taking up Star Saber's time in such a manner, Ginrai was quick to come to his aid when the newly reunited Breastforce [[combiner]] [[Liokaiser]] proved too much for Star Saber to handle, {{storylink|Unite! Liokaiser}}and also later when Star Saber was lured into a trap on Earth by Decepticon [[Emperor of Destruction]] [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]]. Confronting Deathsaurus in battle, Ginrai was struck by a blast from the villain's Living-Metal-Destroying Cannon and badly damaged. {{storylink|A Deadly Battle}}

[[Image:Deadginrai.jpg|right|thumb|180px|Cosplaying as Prime is a risky business.]]

Despite the best medical efforts of [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]], [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]], and [[Minerva]], Ginrai's body was left useless and immobile. Due to a slip by Perceptor, however, he learned of the existence of a reconstruction process conceived by Star Saber that would allow him to become a power-up for the Autobot leader. Star Saber refused to allow him to submit to the process, revolted at the notion of using his close friend's body in such a way, but Ginrai insisted. Perceptor and Wheeljack brought his life functions to an end, and then restored him to Star Saber's specifications as '''Victory Leo'''. {{storylink|Ginrai Dies!!}}

An unfortunate side-effect of the process left Victory Leo's mind and body unbalanced; immediately after his transformation, he began to run wild in his lion mode, displaying a more wild, feral nature than God Ginrai ever had, leaving Jean dismayed at the apparent loss of the being he had considered his friend. {{storylink|Fight!! Victory Leo}} When Jean was trapped in a collapsed building as Victory Leo battled the Breastforce, however, his pleas for help reached Victory Leo, and some measure of balance returned to his mind, leading him to rescue Jean. {{storylink|Awaken! Victory Leo}}

[[Image:AwakenVictoryLeo Victory Leo raging cannon.jpg|thumb|left|240px]]
When Deathsaurus threatened the Earth with orbital missile strikes if the Autobots interfered in the Decepticons' energy-gathering raids, Victory Leo had to be forcibly held back by the [[Brainmaster]]s to prevent him from attacking their enemies and dooming the planet. Star Saber came to the rescue with a new unification circuit implanted within his body. With this new component, he and Victory Leo could combine their bodies into Victory Saber. In the form of a combined jet, Victory Saber soared into space at a faster rate than Deathsaurus had predicted, and then in their combined robot form, destroyed the satellite controlling the missiles. {{storylink|The Tide is Turned! The Ultimate Weapon, the Victory Unification}}

[[Image:Victory32 Victory Leo beast mode.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
Despite his proven battle prowess, Victory Leo was still not entirely the being Ginrai had been, retaining a more violent, short-tempered personality which sometimes brought him into conflict with the other Autobots, who, in turn, did not trust him as much as they had Ginrai. When Breastforce member [[Leozack]] impersonated Star Saber, Victory Leo realized that something was wrong, but none of his teammates believed him. Even when Victory Leo tried to stop Leozack from taking Victory Saber's combination information, the Autobots thought he was a traitor, until the real Star Saber showed up and Leozack was exposed, gaining Victory Leo his comrades' trust. {{storylink|A Mystery?! The Deception of the Base Bombs}}

When Deathsaurus finally succeeded in reactivating his colossal, planet-destroying battle fortress, Victory Leo and Star Saber combined into Victory Saber and took to space to try and stop the deadly craft, only to be knocked out by its weapons and crash, unconscious, on its surface. {{storylink|The Wrath of the Resurrected Giant Fortress!}} Recovering as it transformed into its "Destroyer Mode," Victory Saber attacked again but was confronted by Breastforce combiner Liokaiser. At the same time, Jean arrived in his mobile mech with information that could destroy the fortress, and Victory Saber separated so that Star Saber could follow him into the fortress. Victory Leo took on Liokaiser and defeated him by hurling him into the fortress's cannon barrel. Jean then succeeded in beginning the fortress's destruction, and Deszaras, defeated by Star Saber, set the craft on a collision course with Earth. Forming Victory Saber once again, the two heroes successfully destroyed the fortress and saved the planet. {{storylink|Showdown! The Fortress vs the Victory Unification}}

When the father of [[Jean Minakaze|Jean]] and [[Patty Minakaze]], a famed mineralogist, discovered a powerful ore called [[gurunium]], the substance was used to build a new Autobot: Victory Leo. When Mr. Minakaze and his wife were killed in a Decepticon attack, Jean went to go live with [[Star Saber (Victory)|Star Saber]] while Patty went with Victory Leo.

Some years later, as Star Saber fell to a combined attack from [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]], [[Dinoking]] and [[Liokaiser]], Victory Leo at last arrived with Patty as reinforcements. His gurunium body allowed him to merge with Star Saber via the "Victory Combination", allowing the pair to become [[Star Saber (Victory)|Victory Saber]]. {{storylink|The Strongest Partners, the Combination of Victory!}}

To combat the threat of Victory Saber, Deathsaurus forced the slaves of planet [[Guard]] to construct a mech unit for his son called [[Solon Kitakaze (Victory)|King Solon]]. As Victory Saber arrived to free the people of Guard, Deathsaurus combined with King Solon to form [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|King Zaras]]. The two foes proved to be evenly matched, with their battle raging on for hours, until Solon was momentarily distracted by Patty. Victory Saber then bested King Zaras, destroying the King Solon mech unit. {{storylink|Mighty! Victory Saber}}

Soon afterward, Victory Saber, [[Laster]] and [[Braver]] found themselves in a losing battle against Deathsaurus and Liokaiser on [[Earth]]. Luckily, the [[Victories]] arrived (with newest member, Solon) and used their "Five Stars of Victory" attack to transfer their unique abilities into their corresponding Transformer. Patty transferred the power of her ''love'' into Victory Leo, giving him the boost Victory Saber needed to send the Decepticons packing back to their [[Planet-Destroying Fortress|Space Stronghold]]. {{storylink|Shine!

From the Space Stronghold, the Decepticons initiated their all-out attack on Earth. Victory Leo helped fend off the Decepticons as Star Saber took out Deathsaurus (well, really, [[Leozack]] did that) and the [[Breastforce]]. With the battle won, it was revealed that the Decepticons had been fighting for the survival of all the Decepticon civilians living within the Space Stronghold. From atop Victory Leo's shoulder, Patty invited all the Decepticon families to live in peace on [[Victory (planet)|Planet V]]. And so the war ended. {{storylink|Heroic! The Victory War}}

A flying alternate mode was created for the character by the production staff of the animated series, and the toy is capable of being configured into this form, though it is just a block with wings on.

:Victory Leo combines with Star Saber, sold separately, to become Victory Saber.

: Victory Leo was also available in a gift set with Star Saber. Victory Leo can combine with Star Saber by plugging into the aft end of his flight mode, thus becoming a huge booster section, or by disassembling and connecting to Star Saber's robot mode. His legs and chest compress into a pair of "platform boots" that connect to the base of Star Saber's feet, while his other components form a winged backpack that aims his twin cannons over Star Saber's shoulders. In this mode, Victory Saber can also wield the V-Lock Rifle.

*'''Victory Saber''' / '''Dessaras''' (unreleased)

:A surprise entry in the ''[[Robot Heroes (toyline)|Robot Heroes]]'' series, this [[super deformed]] figurine depicts Victory Leo combined with Star Saber as Victory Saber, packaged with an equally adorable Deathsaurus, sporting another new name variant. Originally discovered amongst [[Wal-Mart]] store computer listings in mid-2008, the ill-fated Victory Saber and Deathy failed to materialize before the ''Robot Heroes'' line was canceled.

==Notes==
* Victory Leo's "flight mode" as seen in the ''Victory'' cartoon (like [[Sixshot]]'s "Wingwolf" mode, [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]]'s "space jet" mode and [[Scorponok (G1)|BlackZarak]]'s "Hydra" mode before it) is not part of the original toy's official instructions, as it was created by the production staff of the anime by fiddling around with it.
