'''Victory Leo''' is a wild and powerful Autobot warrior who works alongside [[Star Saber (Victory)|Star Saber]]. In the cartoon continuity he was [[Ginrai |God Ginrai]] reborn after being badly injured by [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]] to become a power up for Star Saber to become Victory Saber. In the comic continuity [[Jean Minakaze|Jeans]] and [[Patty Minakaze]]s father used a substance called [[gurunium]] to create Victory Leo.

===Cartoon continuity===
====''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}}

===''Victory'' comic===
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! The Five Stars of Victory}}

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}}

*'''Victory Leo''' (1989)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-327'''
**''Accessories:'' V-Lock Cannon, 2 V-Lock Rifles, 3 missiles

: Victory Leo transforms into a black, yellow and white robotic winged lion. Both modes are dominated by the missile-firing V-Lock Cannon that rises from his back between his wings in alternate mode, or plugs into his hip in robot mode. 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.

:''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}}

===''Victory'' comic===
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! The Five Stars of Victory}}

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}}

:''Cancer is a [[human]] and a [[Decepticon]] [[Headmaster Junior]] from the [[Super-God Masterforce (franchise)|Super-God Masterforce]] portion of [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Cancer_superdragonfist.jpg|right|thumb|350px|If I keep looking like a girl, maybe they'll put me in ''[[Kiss Players (franchise)|Kiss Players]]''!]]

'''Cancer''' isn't a bad kid—he's just been dealt a bad hand. An orphan raised at a martial arts dojo in his home country of [[China]], Cancer was bullied by the other pupils, but was determined to become as strong as he could in order to put the dojo on the map. Unfortunately, that's when the [[Decepticon]]s came along, and Cancer saw joining them as an opportunity to achieve this goal. Alas, Cancer got a little lost in the opportunities he was offered to run wild and be the "tough guy" for the first time, and with the husband-and-wife team of [[Giga]] and [[Mega]] leading the villains, he has found a sense of family in the Decepticons that he had never enjoyed before. But Cancer doesn't really want to ''hurt'' anyone, and the evil of the Decepticons is steadily growing less and less palatable for this troubled youth...

As a Decepticon [[Headmaster Junior]] warrior, Cancer is bonded to a [[Transtector]] from the planet [[Master (planet)|Master]], which takes the form of a bipedal crab monster. He is heir to the powerful martial arts technique known as Chōryūken (超竜拳, "Super Dragon Fist", which involves… ''kicking'' the opponent), a skill that greatly impresses his doting surrogate mother, Mega. He considers his fellow Headmaster Juniors [[Wilder]] and [[Bullhorn]] genuine friends, and is partnered up with the diminutive [[Browning]], who call him "boss" and follows his every command.

:''Voice actor:'' [[Akari Hibino]] (Japanese), [[Davide Garbolino]] (Italian)
[[Image:Cancer_and_sensei.jpg|left|thumb|Cancer would later hit his head and forget that he was a Saiyan sent to conquer Earth.]]
Orphaned as an infant, Cancer was taken in by the [[Cancer's sensei|sensei]] of the [[Chōryūken Dojo]] and raised as his own son. Although embittered thanks to being bullied by the other students at the dojo simply for being an orphan, Cancer adored his sensei and trained hard in the martial arts, intending to become an expert and raise the dojo's profile. When the [[Decepticon]]s resurfaced on [[Earth]] after years of inactivity, Cancer saw the powerful robots as a means to his ends, and joined up with them. Although Cancer would not discover it until months later, his sensei believed that Cancer left because he had turned his back on his teachings and fell ill, ultimately dying of sadness. {{storylink|God Ginrai - Save Cancer!?}}

[[Image:Cancer_armor.jpg|right|thumb|One size fits all.]]

Cancer joined up with the Decepticons alongside maladjusted American biker gang leader Wilder and Mexican street thug Bullhorn, and was bonded to a Transtector stolen from an [[Autobot]] transport ship. Cancer and his fellow ne'er-do-wells were sequestered in the undersea Decepticon headquarters until [[Blood]] finally announced it was time for them to reveal themselves to the world. Alongside some [[Lobclaw]] [[Seacon (Masterforce)|Seacons]], Cancer and the Juniors began causing chaos in a city, soon drawing the attention of the [[Autobot|Autobots]], including their own three recently created Headmaster Juniors. The Autobot Juniors were under orders to stay out of the fight and focus on rescue operations, but Cancer and his compatriots made it tough to follow the order as they pushed and shoved [[Shūta Gō]] around while he tried to rescue a baby from a burning building. Thankfully, [[Metalhawk]] arrived to see them off, and the day was saved. {{storylink|Birth! Headmaster Jrs}}

[[Image:Cancer_and_mega.jpg|left|thumb|Mother knows best.]]

Cancer accompanied Wilder when he sought revenge against the [[Cool Guys]], the biker gang that had crossed [[Jack Boys|his]] in the past, {{storylink|Rage!! Little Devils with No Need for Rules}} and when he tried to force his old friend [[Chris]] to join back up with him. On the latter mission, Cancer showed his dirty side by placing a knife to [[Mary|Chris's sister]]'s throat, but Chris took him out of the picture by crashing a motorcycle into him. {{storylink|Go, Goshooter - Showdown in the Wasteland}}

Cancer and the Juniors took something of a back seat following the arrival of the powerful [[Godmaster]]s Giga, Mega, [[Hydra (Masterforce)|Hydra]] and [[Buster (Masterforce)|Buster]], {{storylink|Super Warriors - The Godmaster Brothers}} although Mega took an immediate liking to Cancer, and had [[Gilmer]] serve as a punching bag to allow Cancer to demonstrate his Super Dragon Fist for her. {{storylink|A Fierce Battle!! The Autobots Are in Trouble}} When the hunt for the next Godmaster began, the three boys put their ears to the ground to search for clues. They wound up unearthing a series of rumors that led to the next Godmaster, named [[Ginrai]], but he sided with the Autobots. {{storylink|A Hero Is Chosen - His Name Is Ginrai}}

[[Image:Cancer_captured.jpg|right|thumb|Ropes, a bed, and two men. In Japan, this means bad news.]]

When Ginrai travelled to Japan to visit the other Autobots, Cancer, Wilder and Bullhorn ambushed him en route to the Autobot base, but Ginrai thrashed all three of them soundly. Cancer was taken captive and brought back to the Autobot base for interrogation, but he refused to say anything, even as the kindly [[Minerva]] tended his wounds and offered him a drink. Suspecting foul play, Cancer shattered the glass with a kick, cutting Minerva's hand, but even then, the girl would now allow Shūta and [[Cab]] to hurt Cancer. When an enraged Ginrai burst into the room and seized Cancer, intending to force whatever information he could from him, Minerva forced him to back down and offered Cancer a drink once more, which the young Decepticon this time gratefully accepted. His resistance worn down, Cancer related to the Autobots the origin of Godmasters as it had been told to him by Giga, and the Autobots agreed to release him. Escorted out of the Autobot base while blindfolded, Cancer was handed over to Hydra and Buster, but they immediately found a homing beacon the Autobots had planted on Cancer's shirt, and attacked the heroes in retribution. Buster seized Minerva and placed his blaster to her head, but Cancer snatched her away to safety, begging the Decepticons not to kill anyone. Startled by this turn of events, Hydra was defeated by Ginrai and ordered a retreat, with Cancer shouting back to Minerva as he ran that his kindness was merely payback for the drink. {{storylink|A Strange Friendship: Cancer and Minerva}}

[[Image:Cancer_aimgun.jpg|left|thumb|260px|You'd think doing this would accomplish something.]]

Desiring a rematch with Ginrai, Cancer and the Juniors combed Japan for him, eventually spotting him in the background of a news report from [[Nagano]]. After losing the resultant battle, {{storylink|Friend or Foe!? The True Form of the Monster!!}} the trio drowned their sorrows in a bar, where Cancer flipped on the television to an entertainment program, only to discover that Ginrai was making an appearance on the show! Although Bullhorn was ready for another go-around with the Autobot Godmaster, Cancer and Wilder were less than enthused at the notion, and told him to leave the matter to Buster and Hydra. {{storylink|Eliminate the Godmaster Ginrai}}

Later, on an island off the coast of America, Cancer and the Juniors showed off their surfing skills to a group of young boys, and then offered to show them something "even cooler"—their Masterforce powers! They proceeded to kidnap the children as part of a plan by the [[Pretender]]s to draw out Ginrai. When the Autobots attacked, Minerva attempted to appeal to Cancer, only to have Bullhorn strike her down. The trio fled when the Pretenders pulled out of the battle, leaving [[King Poseidon]] to battle Ginrai. {{storylink|Heroism!! The Birth of Super Ginrai}}

[[Image:Cancer_beastmode.jpg|right|thumb|250px|It's good to know where Cancer's crotch stands in the war.]]

During the search for the remaining Godmasters, Cancer joined the Decepticons on a mission into the Rocky Mountains which concluded with the Autobots' recruiting the next Godmaster, [[Ranger]]. {{storylink|An Enemy? The Third Godmaster, Ranger}} The continuing quest next led Cancer and the Juniors to France to investigate a story about a retired race car driver whose vehicle miraculously survived every crash it was in. The trio headed for the small village of Dagneux, where they confronted the racer, [[Germain]], but even Cancer's martial arts skills couldn't stand up to Germain, who strong-armed all three of them out of his bar. The Juniors returned in their Transtectors to tear through the town, but were defeated when their suspicions were proven correct: Germain's car had been a Transtector, but he had passed it on to his protégé, [[Road King]], who became the next Autobot Godmaster and aided his new teammates in seeing the Decepticon Juniors off. {{storylink|Assemble! The Four Godmaster Gunmen}}

[[Image:Cancer_protectsminerva.jpg|left|thumb|See?]]

As time went by, the kindness Minerva had shown Cancer weighed on the boy's mind, and Wilder and Bullhorn's continuous teasing did not help the matter. Noticing that Cancer was depressed, Mega called him to her quarters, where she gave him a present: A small gun Transformer named Browning, with whom Cancer quickly made friends. His spirits bolstered by this kindness, Cancer resolved to prove to Wilder and Bullhorn (and perhaps, to himself) that Minerva meant nothing to him by leading them in an attack on a city in hopes of drawing them out. Unfortunately for the three youths, their attack was responded to by the violent [[Sixknight]], who would have killed them all had Browning not teamed up with Minerva to stop him. {{storylink|The Autobot Warrior, Sixknight?!}} Even after this catastrophic affair, however, Bullhorn and Wilder were happy to keep up the ribbing when the Juniors were tasked with burning food storehouses in the heartland of America, mocking Cancer for thinking that they were destroying ''all'' the food in the country. {{storylink|Destroy Godbomber!!}}

[[Image:Cancer_and_browning.jpg|right|210px|thumb|Some guys have angels and devils on their shoulders telling them what to do. Cancer has a gun on his.]]

Cancer, Bullhorn and Wilder were not particularly enthusiastic about renewing the search for the final Godmaster, but the quest came to a sudden end when the Godmaster in question, [[Clouder]], actually sought the Decepticons out. {{storylink|Appearance!! The Final Godmaster}} Using his power to transform into two robot modes, Clouder infiltrated the Autobot base as a spy and acquired classified information, which he handed off to Bullhorn and the Juniors to give to Mega and Giga. {{storylink|Secret Orders! Destroy the Autobot Base!!}} Cancer and the Juniors participated in the ensuing Decepticon attack on the Autobot base, which concluded with its destruction. {{storylink|Disaster! The Autobot Base Explodes}}

[[Image:Cancer_and_chang.jpg|left|thumb|240px|Their reunion was marred when they went back to Cancer's house and played with Browning. Chang later died from a gunshot wound.]]

When the powerful Decepticon [[Scorponok (G1)|BlackZarak]] joined the Decepticons on Earth, Cancer and the other Juniors headed into space in preparation for the activation of the evil [[Death Para-Machine]]. As Cancer pointed out to Wilder when he nearly floated away, they couldn't actually participate in the battle with the Autobots that resulted, as they didn't have boosters to help them fly in space. {{storylink|Crisis! The Day of Human Extinction}} Although the Autobots were able to destroy the Death-Para Machine, Cancer had now seen the full extent of Devil Z's evil, and grew even more concerned with his plan to wipe out humanity. Discovering from Wilder that his home town happened to be next on BlackZarak's hit list, the horrified Cancer immediately headed there, running through the streets in his Transtector and shouting for the populous to take refuge in the mountains. Rather than listen to his warnings, however, the crowd simply ran at the sight of him. Amongst the fleeing people, Cancer spotted [[Chang]], an old friend from his days at the dojo, and he disembarked his Transtector to greet him. After Chang calmed down and recognized his friend, the pair had a happy reunion, but the mood darkened when Cancer suggested that they go to their old sensei for help in the evacuation. Chang was forced to reveal that their sensei had died six months prior, but the distraught Cancer could not even grieve for long before he was attacked by two of the dojo's pupils, who blamed him for everything. Browning flattened the thugs, at which point Road King appeared, having overhead Cancer's story. He attempted to empathize with the boy, but the angry Cancer responded by opening fire on him with Browning and escaping. Not long thereafter, BlackZarak arrived in the city and began his attack, and when Cancer's pleas fell on deaf ears, he realized there was truly nothing he could do. About to depart, Cancer's attention was caught by cries from Chang, who had become trapped in a burning building while looking for Cancer. Cancer lifted his friend to safety, but was then inadvertently struck in the back by a stray blast from BlackZarak, and buried beneath a hail of rubble. Browning ran off to find the Autobots who were battling BlackZarak, and at his request, the Autobot Juniors unearthed Cancer while Ginrai battled and defeated BlackZarak. When the battle was over, the Autobots allowed Cancer to leave peacefully, on the basis that he had genuinely tried to save lives, proving that, unlike the other Decepticons, he truly had a heart. {{storylink|God Ginrai - Save Cancer!?}}

[[Image:Cancersbetrayal.jpg|right|thumb|275px|Well, consider yourself rescued, I have to go.]]

Later, when Clouder resurfaced on the side of the Autobots and was captured alongside Shūta, his announcement that he was betrayed by [[Turtler]] and left to die in the conflagration of the destroyed Autobot base only served to amplify Cancer's doubts about the Decepticons cause. Finally, when Ginrai arrived at the Decepticon base to rescue Shūta and Clouder, Cancer finally snapped and opened fire on [[King Poseidon]], blowing its arm off and freeing Shūta from his clutches. As the Seacons lunged at the traitorous Cancer, Bullhorn opened fire on the drones and destroyed them, urging Cancer to get away to safety, and he escaped the base with Browning the Autobots. {{storylink|God Ginrai: Showdown at the Decepticon Base}} Cancer proceeded to join up with the Autobots and offer them enough inside information to allow them to perform an all-out attack on the Decepticon base. The battle which ensued came to an end when Devil Z and BlackZarak fused together and collapsed the base, sending the Autobots, along with the Bullhorn and Wilder, tumbling into an undersea chasm. {{storylink|The Ultimate Combination!! BlackZarak, the New Lifeform}}

[[Image:Masterforce_turncoats.jpg|left|thumb|230px|We need Thunderzord power now!]]

Faced with the truth of Devil Z's betrayal, Bullhorn and Wilder turned their backs on the Decepticons, but had no interest in joining the Autobots and fighting "for good", and left Cancer behind. During a later battle, however, when things were looking bad for Cancer and the Autobot Juniors, Bullhorn and Wilder unexpectedly returned to help the one person that they still considered their friend win the day. {{storylink|Battle to the Death!! God Ginrai VS Darkwings Reborn}} Now reunited, the three Juniors, along with Clouder, accompanied the Autobots to the Grand Canyon on a mission to stop the composite Devil Z/BlackZarak entity. During the battle, however, all four of them were struck with a blast of the villain's [[Devil Power]], and were shocked to find their [[Master-Brace]]s had disappeared from their wrists. Devil Z had, in fact, separated them from their Transtectors and brought the robot bodies to life as true super-robot lifeforms, all four of which rejoined the Decepticon side. {{storylink|Autobots! Desperate Attack!!}} Left unable to join in the final battle with the Decepticons on the Matterhorn directly, Cancer and the other three boys helped to rescue civilians and huddled in an underground shelter when Devil Z unleashed his destructive Devil Thunder across Europe. {{storylink|Malevolent and Inhuman! The True Form of Devil Z}} When the Devil Thunder bombardment was halted (thanks to Ginrai engaging BlackZarak in battle), Clouder supplied the group with an armored buggy that would allow them to join in the fight. The boys arrived too late to do anything, cresting the mountain just after God Ginrai destroyed Devil Z, at which point all the other Godmasters and Headmaster Juniors were also separated from their Transtectors. Cancer's living Transtector departed Earth with all the other Deception Transtectors, and was pursued by the Autobots' Transtectors to carry on the Transformers' war in space. {{storylink|A Battle... and Then...}}

Cancer and his partners did not take an active hand in any of the Decepticon plans which immediately followed, but eventually took to the front lines again when their leaders, Giga and Mega, unveiled their Transtectors for an attack on [[Tokyo]]. {{storylink|God Ginrai's Amazing Super-God Combination!}} The trio were quite happy to watch when the Decepticons captured Shūta and Cab and Blood tortured them in an attempt to force them to join the Decepticons, but Cancer took particular offence when Shūta claimed that the Decepticons weren't a family at all, as they were the only family he had. {{storylink|The Earth Family of Good and Evil}} Cancer and the Juniors later joined [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]] in attacking various spots on Earth from the top of [[Mount Everest]] with the [[A.O. Laser]], although it was thanks to an insulting comment from Cancer that their fickle new ally Doubleclouder turned on them and foiled their plan. {{storylink|Decepticons' Great Counterattack!}} Later still, Cancer and the Juniors accompanied Overlord and BlackZarak in attacking another Earth city, only to be stopped by the Autobot super-weapon, the [[VX Bomb]]. {{storylink|Live? Die?! The Desperate Super-God Combination}}

[[Image:MFcancer bzarak.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Yeah, that will stop him.]]

When Cancer sneaked out the Decepticon base and went to a city for the New Year celebrations, Cancer disobeyed him and ran away with Browning. Unfortunately, his New Year holidays coincided with an attack by BlackZarak upon the city, and when the Autobots arrived to engage him, the massive Decepticon seized Cancer to use as a bargaining chip. As BlackZarak pummelled the helpless Autobots, Overlord appeared in the skies above and brutally attacked BlackZarak, outraged at his treatment of Cancer. With BlackZarak weakened, the Autobots were able to defeat him, and Cancer returned to the Decepticon base to discover that the reason he had not been allowed to return home was because the Decepticons had wanted to celebrate with him, and had even made decorations. Cancer was disappointed in himself for not trusting his family, but Mega forgave him, and Browning noted that running away never solves anything. {{storylink|Great Turn-Around! Autobots}}

In the final battle, Devil Z turned against his Decepticon minions, and they united with the Autobots against him. Cancer joined with all the other Transformers in combining his energy into the "Perfect Transform Attack," destroying Devil Z once and for all. With Devil Z's death, the bond he had forged between the humans and their Transtectors was severed, and the Transtectors themselves were truly brought to life. Giga and Mega were revealed to have also been sustained by Devil Z's energies, and his death brought about their own passing, to which Cancer reacted tearfully. Cancer's Transtector subsequently departed for space along with all the others. {{storylink|The Birth of the Super Lifeforms}}

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''D-303'''
**''Accessories:'' Transtector, "Aqua Blaster", "Tail Sword"
:Cancer's Transtector transforms into a monstrous bipedal crab-creature, though it just sort of looks like a monster wearing a crab as a hat. The Cancer Headmaster figure fits in a cockpit in the Transtector's stomach (hinged, most unfortunately, at the crotch). The creature's tail disconnects and becomes a weapon for robot mode that sure as heck ''looks'' like a double-barrelled gun, but which is referred to as a sword in Cancer's [[Tech Specs]].

:Like all Headmaster toys, Cancer's robot mode features a spring-loaded mini-[[Tech Spec|Tech-Spec]]-meter in its chest, which gives readings for Speed, Strength and Intelligence (although he and the other Decepticon Junior molds are unique in that their meters are not covered by flip-down panels). The meter is activated when Cancer (or any other Headmaster unit) is plugged into the neck socket; as a small Headmaster, all three readings are on a single tumbler, so any head plugged in will result in the same stats. Cancer has his robot-mode face plainly visible on his back because, as a smaller Headmaster toy, he lacks the flip-down panel that covers the face featured on larger Headmasters.

:Cancer was sold concurrently in [[Hasbro]] markets without changes as [[Squeezeplay]].

:''Bullhorn is a [[human]] and a [[Decepticon]] [[Headmaster Junior]] from the [[Super-God Masterforce (franchise)|Super-God Masterforce]] portion of [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Bullhorn_human.jpg|right|thumb|300px|"Don't mess with the bull, young man, you'll get the horns."]]

'''Bullhorn''' is in it for the money, and there's not an awful lot to say about him beyond that. A former petty thug from [[Mexico]], Bullhorn was a loner who got by in life on the money he made street fighting until the [[Decepticon]]s made him a better offer. Bullhorn is basically a blunt instrument—he's quite happy to be pointed at something and instructed to cause a bit of chaos, but if he's charged with tasks as low-yield as searching or staking out, he'll quickly start moaning and look for something else to do. He's not really that bad a guy, though; he considers fellow [[Headmaster Junior]]s [[Wilder]] and [[Cancer]] real friends and genuinely looks out for them, and he's not really into the whole “evil” thing, especially to the extremes that the Decepticons want. It's really just business to Bullhorn, and he'd like to have a world to keep doing business ''on''.

As a Decepticon Headmaster Junior warrior, Bullhorn is bonded to a [[Transtector]] from the planet [[Master (planet)|Master]], which takes the form of a monstrous buffalo. His Transtector's internal infra-red scopes allow him to fight freely at night, and for short periods of time, he is able to change the color of his Transtector's metal hide like a chameleon.

:''Voice actor:'' [[Kōzō Shioya]] (Japan)

[[Image:Bullhorn_armor.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Taurus, full of bull]]
Bullhorn was recruited into the Decepticons under the rule of [[Devil Z]] alongside maladjusted American biker gang leader Wilder and Chinese orphan martial artist Cancer, and bonded to a Transtector stolen from an [[Autobot]] transport ship. Bullhorn and his fellow ne'er-do-wells were sequestered in the undersea Decepticon headquarters until [[Blood]] finally announced it was time for them to reveal themselves to the world. Alongside some [[Lobclaw]] [[Seacon (Masterforce)|Seacons]], Bullhorn and the Juniors began causing chaos in a city, soon drawing the attention of the [[Autobot|Autobots]], including their own three recently created Headmaster Juniors. The Autobot Juniors were under orders to stay out of the fight and focus on rescue operations but Bullhorn and his compatriots made it tough to follow the order as they pushed and shoved [[Shūta Gō]] around while he tried to rescue a baby from a burning building. Thankfully, [[Metalhawk]] arrived to see them off, and the day was saved. {{storylink|Birth! Headmaster Jrs}}

Bullhorn accompanied Wilder when attempted to reform his old gang, the [[Jack Boys]], and sought revenge against the [[Cool Guys]], the biker gang that had crossed them, but came out on the losing side of battles against the Autobot Juniors [[Minerva]] and [[Cab]]. {{storylink|Rage!! Little Devils with No Need for Rules}} {{storylink|Go, Goshooter - Showdown in the Wasteland}}

[[Image:Bullhorn robotmode.jpg|right|thumb|225px|[[Galvatron (BWII)|Galvatron]] stole his look.]]

Bullhorn and the Juniors took something of a back seat following the arrival of the powerful [[Godmaster]]s [[Giga]], [[Mega]], [[Hydra (Masterforce)|Hydra]] and [[Buster (Masterforce)|Buster]], {{storylink|Super Warriors - The Godmaster Brothers}} but when the hunt for the next Godmaster began, the three boys put their ears to the ground to search for clues. They wound up unearthing a series of rumors that led to the next Godmaster, named [[Ginrai]], but he sided with the Autobots. {{storylink|A Hero Is Chosen - His Name Is Ginrai}} When Ginrai travelled to Japan to visit the other Autobots, Bullhorn, Wilder and Cancer ambush him en route to the Autobot base, but Ginrai thrashed all three of them soundly. {{storylink|A Strange Friendship: Cancer and Minerva}} The trio combed Japan for Ginrai in hopes of a rematch, but Bullhorn had some trouble focusing on the mission, first propositioning some girls playing tennis (with no luck) and later moaning about the heat in his Transtector. Eventually, the three punks spotted Ginrai in the background of a news report from Nagano, but inevitably lost the resultant battle. {{storylink|Friend or Foe!? The True Form of the Monster!!}} An infuriated Bullhorn was fully prepared for another bout when they saw Ginrai on a TV show for a second time while drowning their sorrows in a bar, but Wilder and Cancer told him to leave the matter to Buster and Hydra. {{storylink|Eliminate the Godmaster Ginrai}}

[[Image:Bullhorn_cards.jpg|left|thumb|Am I supposed to have a get out of jail free card?]]

Later, on an island off the coast of America, Bullhorn and the Juniors showed off their surfing skills to a group of young boys, and then offered to show them something "even cooler" – their Masterforce powers! They proceeded to kidnap the children as part of a plan by the [[Pretender]]s to draw out Ginrai, and when Bullhorn and Wilder were stuck with guard duty, they busied themselves playing cards. When the Autobots attacked, Bullhorn rushed off to join the battle, striking down Minerva when she attempted to appeal to the impressionable Cancer. The trio fled when the Pretenders pulled out of the battle, leaving [[King Poseidon]] to battle Ginrai. {{storylink|Heroism!! The Birth of Super Ginrai}}

During the search for the remaining Godmasters, Bullhorn joined the Decepticons on a mission into the Rocky Mountains and tried to get some information from a forest patrolman named [[Ranger]]. The Autobots were also in the area, and Minerva spotted Bullhorn talking with Ranger, leading her to believe that Ranger was a Decepticon too, but things turned out to be just the opposite: Ranger was, in fact, the new Autobot Godmaster. {{storylink|An Enemy? The Third Godmaster, Ranger}} The search for the Godmasters next led Bullhorn and the Juniors to France to investigate a story about a retired race car driver whose vehicle miraculously survived every crash it was in. The trio headed for the small village of Dagneux, where they confronted the racer, [[Germain]], but even Bullhorn's muscle couldn't stand up to Germain, who strong-armed all three of them out of his bar. The Juniors returned in their Transtectors to tear through the town, but were defeated when their suspicions were proven correct: Germain's car had been a Transtector, but he had passed it on to his protégé, [[Road King]], who became the next Autobot Godmaster and aided his new team-mates in seeing the Decepticon Juniors off. {{storylink|Assemble! The Four Godmaster Gunmen}}

[[Image:Bullhorn teasescancer.jpg|right|thumb|Yeahhh....]]

Bullhorn and Wilder continued to tease Cancer over his infatuation with Minerva, but the more he denied it, the angrier Bullhorn grew, until he snarled that Cancer could go and join the Autobots if he liked her so much. Attempting to prove that Minerva meant nothing to him, Cancer had Bullhorn and Wilder join him in attacking a city to draw her out, but unfortunately for the Juniors, their attack was responded to by the violent [[Sixknight]], who nearly killed them all until Minerva and Cancer's little buddy [[Browning]] saved them. {{storylink|The Autobot Warrior, Sixknight?!}} Despite seeing where it had got them once already, Bullhorn and Wilder kept up the ribbing when the Juniors were tasked with burning food storehouses in the heartland of America, mocking Cancer for thinking that they were destroying ''all'' the food in the country. {{storylink|Destroy Godbomber!!}}

Bullhorn, Wilder and Cancer were not particularly enthusiastic about renewing the search for the final Godmaster, but the quest came to a sudden end when the Godmaster in question, [[Clouder]], actually sought the Decepticons out. {{storylink|Appearance!! The Final Godmaster}} Using his power to transform into two robot modes, Clouder infiltrated the Autobot base as a spy and acquired classified information, which he handed off to Bullhorn and the Juniors to give to Mega and Giga. {{storylink|Secret Orders! Destroy the Autobot Base!!}} Bullhorn and the Juniors participated in the ensuing Decepticon attack on the Autobot base, which concluded with its destruction. {{storylink|Disaster! The Autobot Base Explodes}}

[[Image:Bullhorn_beastmode.jpg|left|thumb|275px|"Who ya gonna call?" "Someone else!"]]

Bullhorn went into space along with the other Decepticons when [[Scorponok (G1)|BlackZarak]] was poised to unleash the evil [[Death Para-Machine]] on Earth, but was unable to participate in the battle with the Autobots that resulted, as he didn't have a booster to help him fly in space. {{storylink|Crisis! The Day of Human Extinction}} Although the Autobots were able to destroy the Death-Para Machine, Bullhorn had now seen the full extent of Devil Z's evil, and grew genuinely concerned with his plan to wipe out humanity. {{storylink|God Ginrai - Save Cancer!?}}

Later, when Clouder resurfaced on the side of the Autobots and was captured alongside Shūta, his announcement that he was betrayed by [[Turtler]] and left to die in the conflagration of the destroyed Autobot base caused all three Juniors to share uneasy looks. When Cancer wondered if this could be true, a wide-eyed Bullhorn questioned his doubts, wondering if he no longer wanted to be a Decepticon. Bullhorn soon got his answer when Ginrai arrived at the Decepticon base to rescue Shūta and Clouder, and Cancer decided to help him in battle against King Poseidon. As the Seacons lunged at the traitorous Cancer, Bullhorn opened fire on the drones and destroyed them, urging Cancer to get away to safety. {{storylink|God Ginrai: Showdown at the Decepticon Base}} Cancer proceeded to join up with the Autobots and offer them enough inside information to allow them to perform an all-out attack on the Decepticon base. During the battle, Bullhorn grappled with Cab, asking him if Cancer was okay, even as he throttled him. The conflict came to an end when Devil Z and BlackZarak fused together and collapsed the base, sending the Autobots, along with the Bullhorn and Wilder, tumbling into an undersea chasm. Bullhorn was unsure what to make of the situation, but joined with Wilder in opening fire on the Autobots as they attempted to convince him of the truth. Eventually, Ginrai was forced to jump Bullhorn and Wilder and knock them out in order to carry them to safety. {{storylink|The Ultimate Combination!! BlackZarak, the New Lifeform}}

[[Image:Bullhorn goesbyebye.jpg|right|thumb|Cancer is not the only one who would have that expression with that view...]]

Faced with the truth of Devil Z's betrayal, Bullhorn and Wilder turned their backs on the Decepticons, but had no interest in joining the Autobots and fighting "for good”. Although a hint of doubt was visible in Bullhorn's eyes, Wilder ordered him to follow him as they left. During a later battle, however, when things were looking bad for Cancer and the Autobot Juniors, Bullhorn and Wilder unexpectedly returned to help the one person that they still considered their friend win the day. {{storylink|Battle to the Death!! God Ginrai VS Darkwings Reborn}} Now reunited, the three Juniors, along with Clouder, accompanied the Autobots to the Grand Canyon on a mission to stop the composite Devil Z/BlackZarak entity. During the battle, however, all four of them were struck with a blast of the villain's [[Devil Power]], and were shocked to find their [[Master-Brace]]s had disappeared from their wrists. Devil Z had, in fact, separated them from their Transtectors and brought the robot bodies to life as true super-robot lifeforms, all four of which rejoined the Decepticon side. {{storylink|Autobots! Desperate Attack!!}}

Unable to join in the final battle with the Decepticons on the Matterhorn directly, Bullhorn and the other three boys helped to rescue civilians and huddled in an underground shelter when Devil Z unleashed his destructive Devil Thunder across Europe. {{storylink|Malevolent and Inhuman! The True Form of Devil Z}} When the Devil Thunder bombardment was halted (thanks to Ginrai engaging BlackZarak in battle), Clouder supplied the group with an armored buggy that would allow them to join in the fight. The boys arrived too late to do anything, cresting the mountain just after God Ginrai destroyed Devil Z, at which point all the other Godmasters and Headmaster Juniors were also separated from their Transtectors. Bullhorn's living Transtector departed Earth with all the other Deception Transtectors, and was pursued by the Autobots' Transtectors to carry on the Transformers' war in space. {{storylink|A Battle... and Then...}}

During a later battle, however, when things were looking bad for Cancer and the Autobot Juniors, Bullhorn and Wilder unexpectedly returned to help the one person that they still considered their friend win the day. {{storylink|Battle to the Death!! God Ginrai VS Darkwings Reborn}} Now reunited, the three Juniors, along with Clouder, accompanied the Autobots to the Grand Canyon on a mission to stop the composite Devil Z/BlackZarak entity. During the battle, however, all four of them were struck with a blast of the villain's [[Devil Power]], and were shocked to find their [[Master-Brace]]s had disappeared from their wrists. Devil Z had, in fact, separated them from their Transtectors and brought the robot bodies to life as true super-robot lifeforms, all four of which rejoined the Decepticon side. {{storylink|Autobots! Desperate Attack!!}}

Unable to join in the final battle with the Decepticons on the Matterhorn directly, Bullhorn and the other three boys helped to rescue civilians and huddled in an underground shelter when Devil Z unleashed his destructive Devil Thunder across Europe. {{storylink|Malevolent and Inhuman! The True Form of Devil Z}} When the Devil Thunder bombardment was halted (thanks to Ginrai engaging BlackZarak in battle), Clouder supplied the group with an armored buggy that would allow them to join in the fight. The boys arrived too late to do anything, cresting the mountain just after God Ginrai destroyed Devil Z, at which point all the other Godmasters and Headmaster Juniors were also separated from their Transtectors. Bullhorn's living Transtector departed Earth with all the other Deception Transtectors, and was pursued by the Autobots' Transtectors to carry on the Transformers' war in space. {{storylink|A Battle... and Then...}}

Bullhorn and his partners did not take an active hand in any of the Decepticon plans which immediately followed, but eventually took to the front lines again when their leaders, Giga and Mega, unveiled their Transtectors for an attack on [[Tokyo]]. {{storylink|God Ginrai's Amazing Super-God Combination!}} The trio were quite happy to watch when the Decepticons captured Shūta and [[Cab]] and Blood tortured them in an attempt to force them to join the Decepticons, {{storylink|The Earth Family of Good and Evil}} and later joined [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]] in attacking various spots on Earth from the top of [[Mount Everest]] with the [[A.O.

With Devil Z's death, the bond he had forged between the humans and their Transtectors was severed, separating the humans and brining their Transtectors to life.

:''Bullhorn is a [[human]] and a [[Decepticon]] [[Headmaster Junior]] from the [[Super-God Masterforce (franchise)|Super-God Masterforce]] portion of [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Bullhorn_human.jpg|right|thumb|300px|"Don't mess with the bull, young man, you'll get the horns."]]

'''Bullhorn''' is in it for the money, and there's not an awful lot to say about him beyond that. A former petty thug from [[Mexico]], Bullhorn was a loner who got by in life on the money he made street fighting until the [[Decepticon]]s made him a better offer. Bullhorn is basically a blunt instrument—he's quite happy to be pointed at something and instructed to cause a bit of chaos, but if he's charged with tasks as low-yield as searching or staking out, he'll quickly start moaning and look for something else to do. He's not really that bad a guy, though; he considers fellow [[Headmaster Junior]]s [[Wilder]] and [[Cancer]] real friends and genuinely looks out for them, and he's not really into the whole “evil” thing, especially to the extremes that the Decepticons want. It's really just business to Bullhorn, and he'd like to have a world to keep doing business ''on''.

As a Decepticon Headmaster Junior warrior, Bullhorn is bonded to a [[Transtector]] from the planet [[Master (planet)|Master]], which takes the form of a monstrous buffalo. His Transtector's internal infra-red scopes allow him to fight freely at night, and for short periods of time, he is able to change the color of his Transtector's metal hide like a chameleon.

[[Image:Bullhorn_armor.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Taurus, full of bull]]

Bullhorn was recruited into the Decepticons under the rule of [[Devil Z]] alongside maladjusted American biker gang leader Wilder and Chinese orphan martial artist Cancer, and bonded to a Transtector stolen from an [[Autobot]] transport ship. Bullhorn and his fellow ne'er-do-wells were sequestered in the undersea Decepticon headquarters until [[Blood]] finally announced it was time for them to reveal themselves to the world. Alongside some [[Lobclaw]] [[Seacon (Masterforce)|Seacons]], Bullhorn and the Juniors began causing chaos in a city, soon drawing the attention of the [[Autobot|Autobots]], including their own three recently created Headmaster Juniors. The Autobot Juniors were under orders to stay out of the fight and focus on rescue operations but Bullhorn and his compatriots made it tough to follow the order as they pushed and shoved [[Shūta Gō]] around while he tried to rescue a baby from a burning building. Thankfully, [[Metalhawk]] arrived to see them off, and the day was saved. {{storylink|Birth! Headmaster Jrs}}

Bullhorn accompanied Wilder when attempted to reform his old gang, the [[Jack Boys]], and sought revenge against the [[Cool Guys]], the biker gang that had crossed them, but came out on the losing side of battles against the Autobot Juniors [[Minerva]] and [[Cab]]. {{storylink|Rage!! Little Devils with No Need for Rules}} {{storylink|Go, Goshooter - Showdown in the Wasteland}}

[[Image:Bullhorn robotmode.jpg|right|thumb|225px|[[Galvatron (BWII)|Galvatron]] stole his look.]]

Bullhorn and the Juniors took something of a back seat following the arrival of the powerful [[Godmaster]]s [[Giga]], [[Mega]], [[Hydra (Masterforce)|Hydra]] and [[Buster (Masterforce)|Buster]], {{storylink|Super Warriors - The Godmaster Brothers}} but when the hunt for the next Godmaster began, the three boys put their ears to the ground to search for clues. They wound up unearthing a series of rumors that led to the next Godmaster, named [[Ginrai]], but he sided with the Autobots. {{storylink|A Hero Is Chosen - His Name Is Ginrai}} When Ginrai travelled to Japan to visit the other Autobots, Bullhorn, Wilder and Cancer ambush him en route to the Autobot base, but Ginrai thrashed all three of them soundly. {{storylink|A Strange Friendship: Cancer and Minerva}} The trio combed Japan for Ginrai in hopes of a rematch, but Bullhorn had some trouble focusing on the mission, first propositioning some girls playing tennis (with no luck) and later moaning about the heat in his Transtector. Eventually, the three punks spotted Ginrai in the background of a news report from Nagano, but inevitably lost the resultant battle. {{storylink|Friend or Foe!? The True Form of the Monster!!}} An infuriated Bullhorn was fully prepared for another bout when they saw Ginrai on a TV show for a second time while drowning their sorrows in a bar, but Wilder and Cancer told him to leave the matter to Buster and Hydra. {{storylink|Eliminate the Godmaster Ginrai}}

[[Image:Bullhorn_cards.jpg|left|thumb|Am I supposed to have a get out of jail free card?]]

Later, on an island off the coast of America, Bullhorn and the Juniors showed off their surfing skills to a group of young boys, and then offered to show them something "even cooler" – their Masterforce powers! They proceeded to kidnap the children as part of a plan by the [[Pretender]]s to draw out Ginrai, and when Bullhorn and Wilder were stuck with guard duty, they busied themselves playing cards. When the Autobots attacked, Bullhorn rushed off to join the battle, striking down Minerva when she attempted to appeal to the impressionable Cancer. The trio fled when the Pretenders pulled out of the battle, leaving [[King Poseidon]] to battle Ginrai. {{storylink|Heroism!! The Birth of Super Ginrai}}

During the search for the remaining Godmasters, Bullhorn joined the Decepticons on a mission into the Rocky Mountains and tried to get some information from a forest patrolman named [[Ranger]]. The Autobots were also in the area, and Minerva spotted Bullhorn talking with Ranger, leading her to believe that Ranger was a Decepticon too, but things turned out to be just the opposite: Ranger was, in fact, the new Autobot Godmaster. {{storylink|An Enemy? The Third Godmaster, Ranger}} The search for the Godmasters next led Bullhorn and the Juniors to France to investigate a story about a retired race car driver whose vehicle miraculously survived every crash it was in. The trio headed for the small village of Dagneux, where they confronted the racer, [[Germain]], but even Bullhorn's muscle couldn't stand up to Germain, who strong-armed all three of them out of his bar. The Juniors returned in their Transtectors to tear through the town, but were defeated when their suspicions were proven correct: Germain's car had been a Transtector, but he had passed it on to his protégé, [[Road King]], who became the next Autobot Godmaster and aided his new team-mates in seeing the Decepticon Juniors off. {{storylink|Assemble! The Four Godmaster Gunmen}}

[[Image:Bullhorn teasescancer.jpg|right|thumb|Yeahhh....]]

Bullhorn and Wilder continued to tease Cancer over his infatuation with Minerva, but the more he denied it, the angrier Bullhorn grew, until he snarled that Cancer could go and join the Autobots if he liked her so much. Attempting to prove that Minerva meant nothing to him, Cancer had Bullhorn and Wilder join him in attacking a city to draw her out, but unfortunately for the Juniors, their attack was responded to by the violent [[Sixknight]], who nearly killed them all until Minerva and Cancer's little buddy [[Browning]] saved them. {{storylink|The Autobot Warrior, Sixknight?!}} Despite seeing where it had got them once already, Bullhorn and Wilder kept up the ribbing when the Juniors were tasked with burning food storehouses in the heartland of America, mocking Cancer for thinking that they were destroying ''all'' the food in the country. {{storylink|Destroy Godbomber!!}}

Bullhorn, Wilder and Cancer were not particularly enthusiastic about renewing the search for the final Godmaster, but the quest came to a sudden end when the Godmaster in question, [[Clouder]], actually sought the Decepticons out. {{storylink|Appearance!! The Final Godmaster}} Using his power to transform into two robot modes, Clouder infiltrated the Autobot base as a spy and acquired classified information, which he handed off to Bullhorn and the Juniors to give to Mega and Giga. {{storylink|Secret Orders! Destroy the Autobot Base!!}} Bullhorn and the Juniors participated in the ensuing Decepticon attack on the Autobot base, which concluded with its destruction. {{storylink|Disaster! The Autobot Base Explodes}}

[[Image:Bullhorn_beastmode.jpg|left|thumb|275px|"Who ya gonna call?" "Someone else!"]]

Bullhorn went into space along with the other Decepticons when [[Scorponok (G1)|BlackZarak]] was poised to unleash the evil [[Death Para-Machine]] on Earth, but was unable to participate in the battle with the Autobots that resulted, as he didn't have a booster to help him fly in space. {{storylink|Crisis! The Day of Human Extinction}} Although the Autobots were able to destroy the Death-Para Machine, Bullhorn had now seen the full extent of Devil Z's evil, and grew genuinely concerned with his plan to wipe out humanity. {{storylink|God Ginrai - Save Cancer!?}}

Later, when Clouder resurfaced on the side of the Autobots and was captured alongside Shūta, his announcement that he was betrayed by [[Turtler]] and left to die in the conflagration of the destroyed Autobot base caused all three Juniors to share uneasy looks. When Cancer wondered if this could be true, a wide-eyed Bullhorn questioned his doubts, wondering if he no longer wanted to be a Decepticon. Bullhorn soon got his answer when Ginrai arrived at the Decepticon base to rescue Shūta and Clouder, and Cancer decided to help him in battle against King Poseidon. As the Seacons lunged at the traitorous Cancer, Bullhorn opened fire on the drones and destroyed them, urging Cancer to get away to safety. {{storylink|God Ginrai: Showdown at the Decepticon Base}} Cancer proceeded to join up with the Autobots and offer them enough inside information to allow them to perform an all-out attack on the Decepticon base. During the battle, Bullhorn grappled with Cab, asking him if Cancer was okay, even as he throttled him. The conflict came to an end when Devil Z and BlackZarak fused together and collapsed the base, sending the Autobots, along with the Bullhorn and Wilder, tumbling into an undersea chasm. Bullhorn was unsure what to make of the situation, but joined with Wilder in opening fire on the Autobots as they attempted to convince him of the truth. Eventually, Ginrai was forced to jump Bullhorn and Wilder and knock them out in order to carry them to safety. {{storylink|The Ultimate Combination!! BlackZarak, the New Lifeform}}

[[Image:Bullhorn goesbyebye.jpg|right|thumb|Cancer is not the only one who would have that expression with that view...]]

Faced with the truth of Devil Z's betrayal, Bullhorn and Wilder turned their backs on the Decepticons, but had no interest in joining the Autobots and fighting "for good”. Although a hint of doubt was visible in Bullhorn's eyes, Wilder ordered him to follow him as they left.

:''Lightfoot is a [[human]] and [[Autobot]] [[Godmaster]] from the [[Super-God Masterforce (franchise)|Super-God Masterforce]] portion of the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Lightfoot human.jpg|right|320px|thumb|With all their beady little eyes, and flappin' heads so full of lies.]]
'''Lightfoot''' was born in [[United Kingdom|England]] and raised in [[Canada]], and at seventeen years old, is heir to the prestigious [[British Motors]] automotive company founded by his father, [[Leftfoot]]. Although positively ''rolling'' in money and prestige, Lightfoot has been raised to never forget his humble beginnings, and has grown up to be a gentle, polite, well-spoken man who only ever puts his position to use if it will help one of his friends. His desire to protect his fellow man makes him a natural Autobot, but there ''are'' times when he's entirely ''too'' willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of someone else.

As an [[Autobot]] [[Godmaster]], Lightfoot is bonded to a [[Transtector]] from the [[G Nebula 89|G Nebula]] which takes the form of a sports car able to attain speeds of Mach 10. Like all Godmasters, he is endowed with the ability to manipulate [[Chōkon Power]], with his specialty being the control of water. This power is epitomized in his “Land Waterfall” attack, which allows him to strike his enemies down with high-pressure jets of water summoned up from beneath the earth.

:''Voice actor:'' [[Tsutomu Kashiwakura]] (Japan)

[[Image:Lightfoot baby.jpg|left|180px|thumb|Barely out of the womb, and he's in a toque.]]
When Lightfoot was born, his father, Leftfoot, was working in a run-down automotive repair shop in England with dreams of designing and building cars himself. Moving the family to Canada in pursuit of his dream, Leftfoot toiled to create the prototype for his first car design, even mining his own ore. Leftfoot finally completed his prototype on the night of Lightfoot's second birthday, but as the family slept that night, the car erupted with iridescent light, which shone through the windows of their house and bathed the infant Lightfoot in its glow. It would be years before the truth was ever known, but Lightfoot's father had, in fact, discovered one of the [[Transtector]]s hidden on [[Earth]] by the evil alien [[Devil Z]], and mined this strange black rock as ore that he used in the construction of his car. The car proved to be a monumental success, and ultimately led to Leftfoot founding his own engineering company, British Motors. {{storylink|Lightfoot: A Dramatic Encounter}}

[[Image:Lightfoot armor.jpg|right|210px|thumb|So excited, all six of his nipples are tingling.]]
Fifteen years later, Leftfoot gifted the original car to Lightfoot for his seventeenth birthday, but after driving it for the first time, Lightfoot found his dreams plagued by visions of a giant robot. Soon after, Lightfoot happened to see the Autobot named [[Ginrai]] appearing on television as part of an attempt to locate the other Godmasters scattered across the world, and with nothing to lose, sent Ginrai a letter, including a drawing of the robot from his dreams. Intrigued by the drawing, Ginrai headed for Canada and met with Lightfoot, hearing his life story and seeing the famous car. Lightfoot allowed him to drive the car, which only served to increase Ginrai's suspicions, at which point he handed Lightfoot a pair of [[Master-Brace]]s. When Lightfoot donned the bracelets, his body was immediately enveloped in a suit of armor, proving that he was, indeed, the next Autobot Godmaster, and that his car was his Transtector. Following Ginrai's directions, Lightfoot combined with his car, transforming into the robot from his own dreams, only to be suddenly attacked by the three [[Decepticon]] [[Pretender|Pretenders]]. Fleeing back to the British Motors factory, Lightfoot battled with [[Blood]] while Ginrai tangled with [[King Poseidon]]. When the [[Seacon (Masterforce)|Seacon]] [[combiner]] was defeated, the Pretenders fled, and Lightfoot requested that Ginrai continue to teach him. {{storylink|Lightfoot: A Dramatic Encounter}}

[[Image:Lightfoot robotmode.jpg|left|220px|thumb|The warrior of the ''Edmund Fitzgerald.'']]
Ginrai brought Lightfoot to the [[Ocean Research Institute of California]], where he was introduced to the other Autobot Pretenders and [[Headmaster Junior|Headmaster Juniors]] and suggested that they continue their search for the next Godmaster in the Rocky Mountains, where his father found the ore used in his Transtector. Although the mine itself yielded no results, the group encountered a forest patrolman named [[Ranger]], who proved to be the third Autobot Godmaster. {{storylink|An Enemy? The Third Godmaster, Ranger}}

Taking a break from the search for the Godmasters, Lightfoot invited the Headmaster Juniors to accompany him to the Rouen Circuit in [[France]], where British Motors were competing in the F1 World Grand Prix. Lightfoot admitted that they didn't have much chance against the reigning champ [[Road King]], but happily introduced [[Shūta Gō|Shūta]] and [[Cab]] to the racer so they could get autographs from him. The race had an unexpected ending, however, when Road King proved to be the fourth Autobot Godmaster! {{storylink|Assemble! The Four Godmaster Gunmen}} With all three Godmasters located, Lightfoot went with the rest of the team on a mission to rescue doctors held captive on [[Atlan Island]] by the [[Decepticon]]s, tackling [[Gilmer]] and using his Land Waterfall attack on a swarm of Seacons. {{storylink|Save the Little Girl! The Chōjin Warriors, the Godmasters}}

[[Image:Lightfoot kicksblood.jpg|right|180px|thumb|DIS-ARMED!]]
Lightfoot soon found himself targeted by the Decepticon Godmasters [[Hydra (Masterforce)|Hydra]] and [[Buster (Masterforce)|Buster]], who had decided to divide and conquer the Autobots, with Lightfoot being the unlucky first choice. While filming a commercial for British Motors with Road King, Lightfoot received word from a panicked secretary that Leftfoot had been kidnapped, and immediately raced to the factory building where the evil brothers were holding his father. Unable to make a move, Lightfoot nearly had his Master-Braces (and hands!) cut off by Hydra, but the other Autobot Godmasters arrived just in time to help. The heroes successfully routed the brothers, and in gratitude, Leftfoot allowed the Autobots to use the British Motors factory to construct their new [[Godbomber]] drone. {{storylink|Life? Death? The Desperate Lightfoot}} The factory soon came under attack by Decepticons seeking to destroy Godbomber, but Lightfoot was able to take down Blood and [[Dauros]] while Road King led Hydra and Buster away into the forest. With their Pretender foes dispatched, Lightfoot and Ranger pursued Road King and the Decepticon brothers into the wilderness, and the three Autobots thrashed the Decepticon duo into retreat. {{storylink|Will the Bomber Project Be Destroyed!?}} The construction of Godbomber was subsequently completed, and its power allowed Ginrai to travel into space to battle [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]] and [[Scorponok (G1)|BlackZarak]]. {{storylink|God Ginrai - Into the Sky!!}} Lightfoot and the other Autobots could do nothing but watch the battle from Earth, but Ginrai ultimately emerged victorious. {{storylink|God Ginrai - Showdown on the Surface of the Moon}}

[[Image:Lightfoot pwned.jpg|left|215px|thumb|You need to be "corrected", boy!]]
When Decepticon construction on the ocean floor off the coast of [[Australia]] caused an earthquake in Sydney, Lightfoot headed beneath the waves to investigate, discovering that the villains had reawakened a dormant underwater volcano. Lightfoot was attacked by a swarm of Seacons and sent tumbling into a sub-sea chasm, and when Ginrai arrived to rescue him, the pair were buried in an avalanche by King Poseidon. The volcano erupted as they attempted to dig themselves out, and Lightfoot, desperate to save his commander from the magma flow, attempted to self-destruct and blow up the rock wall. Ginrai was forced to punch some sense into Lightfoot, and fortunately for both of them, Godbomber arrived to break them free. Together, Ginrai and Lightfoot took out the Seacons and King Poseidon, and fled the scene as the eruption's cooling lava formed a small island. {{storylink|Escape!! The Underwater Volcano Erupts}}

Luck seemed to be on the Autobots' side when they were joined by the final Godmaster, [[Clouder]], but in truth, he was a Decepticon double agent sent to infiltrate their base. When Clouder's true identity was revealed, Lightfoot joined in the battle to take him down, but was soon called away from the base alongside Ginrai and the other Godmasters to deal with an attack by Hydra and Buster on a nearby city. {{storylink|Secret Orders! Destroy the Autobot Base!!|Secret Orders!

BlackZarak, the New Lifeform}} With the Decepticons on the run, the Autobots pursued them to the [[Grand Canyon]], where the team of Lightfoot and Road King came under attack from the Decepticon Pretenders, and were then trapped in a cave by Hydra and Buster. The pair were not able to extricate themselves until the battle was done and the Decepticons had escaped, {{storylink|Autobots! Desperate Attack!!}} but the Autobots quickly tracked the villains down to the Alps, where Lightfoot, Ranger and Road King were promptly buried under an avalanche by the merged BlackZarak/Devil Z entity. Ginrai and Grand Maximus dug the three heroes out, but Ginrai requested that they stay back so that he could make the first strike on BlackZarak himself. {{storylink|Malevolent and Inhuman! The True Form of Devil Z}} While Ginrai engaged BlackZarak in battle, Lightfoot and the other Godmasters battled the weakened Hydra and Buster, and then the Transtectors of Clouder, [[Wilder]], [[Cancer]] and [[Bullhorn]], which had been brought to life by the power of Devil Z. Overhead, Ginrai and the Headmaster Juniors united their powers to destroy BlackZarak and Devil Z for good, prompting the Decepticons to break off the battle and flee into space. As Lightfoot and the rest of the heroes watched them go, the Autobots were all enveloped in bright light, and when it faded, found that the death of Devil Z had caused them to be separated from their Transtectors. The Transtectors themselves continued to live on as true super-robot lifeforms, and Lightfoot's Transtector joined with the others in pursuing the Decepticons and continuing the Transformers' war out in space. {{storylink|A Battle... and Then...}}

Bullhorn (G1)

2010-08-13T23:00:01Z

125.237.57.175: /* Fiction */

{{faction|decepticon}}
:''Bullhorn is a [[human]] and a [[Decepticon]] [[Headmaster Junior]] from the [[Super-God Masterforce (franchise)|Super-God Masterforce]] portion of [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Bullhorn_human.jpg|right|thumb|300px|"Don't mess with the bull, young man, you'll get the horns."]]

'''Bullhorn''' is in it for the money, and there's not an awful lot to say about him beyond that. A former petty thug from [[Mexico]], Bullhorn was a loner who got by in life on the money he made street fighting until the [[Decepticon]]s made him a better offer. Bullhorn is basically a blunt instrument—he's quite happy to be pointed at something and instructed to cause a bit of chaos, but if he's charged with tasks as low-yield as searching or staking out, he'll quickly start moaning and look for something else to do. He's not really that bad a guy, though; he considers fellow [[Headmaster Junior]]s [[Wilder]] and [[Cancer]] real friends and genuinely looks out for them, and he's not really into the whole “evil” thing, especially to the extremes that the Decepticons want. It's really just business to Bullhorn, and he'd like to have a world to keep doing business ''on''.

As a Decepticon Headmaster Junior warrior, Bullhorn is bonded to a [[Transtector]] from the planet [[Master (planet)|Master]], which takes the form of a monstrous buffalo. His Transtector's internal infra-red scopes allow him to fight freely at night, and for short periods of time, he is able to change the color of his Transtector's metal hide like a chameleon.

====''Super-God Masterforce'' cartoon====
:''Voice actor:'' [[Kōzō Shioya]] (Japan)

[[Image:Bullhorn_armor.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Taurus, full of bull]]

Bullhorn was recruited into the Decepticons under the rule of [[Devil Z]] alongside maladjusted American biker gang leader Wilder and Chinese orphan martial artist Cancer, and bonded to a Transtector stolen from an [[Autobot]] transport ship. Bullhorn and his fellow ne'er-do-wells were sequestered in the undersea Decepticon headquarters until [[Blood]] finally announced it was time for them to reveal themselves to the world. Alongside some [[Lobclaw]] [[Seacon (Masterforce)|Seacons]], Bullhorn and the Juniors began causing chaos in a city, soon drawing the attention of the [[Autobot|Autobots]], including their own three recently created Headmaster Juniors. The Autobot Juniors were under orders to stay out of the fight and focus on rescue operations but Bullhorn and his compatriots made it tough to follow the order as they pushed and shoved [[Shūta Gō]] around while he tried to rescue a baby from a burning building. Thankfully, [[Metalhawk]] arrived to see them off, and the day was saved. {{storylink|Birth! Headmaster Jrs}}

Bullhorn accompanied Wilder when attempted to reform his old gang, the [[Jack Boys]], and sought revenge against the [[Cool Guys]], the biker gang that had crossed them, but came out on the losing side of battles against the Autobot Juniors [[Minerva]] and [[Cab]]. {{storylink|Rage!! Little Devils with No Need for Rules}} {{storylink|Go, Goshooter - Showdown in the Wasteland}}

[[Image:Bullhorn robotmode.jpg|right|thumb|225px|[[Galvatron (BWII)|Galvatron]] stole his look.]]

Bullhorn and the Juniors took something of a back seat following the arrival of the powerful [[Godmaster]]s [[Giga]], [[Mega]], [[Hydra (Masterforce)|Hydra]] and [[Buster (Masterforce)|Buster]], {{storylink|Super Warriors - The Godmaster Brothers}} but when the hunt for the next Godmaster began, the three boys put their ears to the ground to search for clues. They wound up unearthing a series of rumors that led to the next Godmaster, named [[Ginrai]], but he sided with the Autobots. {{storylink|A Hero Is Chosen - His Name Is Ginrai}} When Ginrai travelled to Japan to visit the other Autobots, Bullhorn, Wilder and Cancer ambush him en route to the Autobot base, but Ginrai thrashed all three of them soundly. {{storylink|A Strange Friendship: Cancer and Minerva}} The trio combed Japan for Ginrai in hopes of a rematch, but Bullhorn had some trouble focusing on the mission, first propositioning some girls playing tennis (with no luck) and later moaning about the heat in his Transtector. Eventually, the three punks spotted Ginrai in the background of a news report from Nagano, but inevitably lost the resultant battle. {{storylink|Friend or Foe!? The True Form of the Monster!!}} An infuriated Bullhorn was fully prepared for another bout when they saw Ginrai on a TV show for a second time while drowning their sorrows in a bar, but Wilder and Cancer told him to leave the matter to Buster and Hydra. {{storylink|Eliminate the Godmaster Ginrai}}

[[Image:Bullhorn_cards.jpg|left|thumb|Am I supposed to have a get out of jail free card?]]

Later, on an island off the coast of America, Bullhorn and the Juniors showed off their surfing skills to a group of young boys, and then offered to show them something "even cooler" – their Masterforce powers! They proceeded to kidnap the children as part of a plan by the [[Pretender]]s to draw out Ginrai, and when Bullhorn and Wilder were stuck with guard duty, they busied themselves playing cards. When the Autobots attacked, Bullhorn rushed off to join the battle, striking down Minerva when she attempted to appeal to the impressionable Cancer. The trio fled when the Pretenders pulled out of the battle, leaving [[King Poseidon]] to battle Ginrai. {{storylink|Heroism!! The Birth of Super Ginrai}}

During the search for the remaining Godmasters, Bullhorn joined the Decepticons on a mission into the Rocky Mountains and tried to get some information from a forest patrolman named [[Ranger]]. The Autobots were also in the area, and Minerva spotted Bullhorn talking with Ranger, leading her to believe that Ranger was a Decepticon too, but things turned out to be just the opposite: Ranger was, in fact, the new Autobot Godmaster. {{storylink|An Enemy? The Third Godmaster, Ranger}} The search for the Godmasters next led Bullhorn and the Juniors to France to investigate a story about a retired race car driver whose vehicle miraculously survived every crash it was in. The trio headed for the small village of Dagneux, where they confronted the racer, [[Germain]], but even Bullhorn's muscle couldn't stand up to Germain, who strong-armed all three of them out of his bar. The Juniors returned in their Transtectors to tear through the town, but were defeated when their suspicions were proven correct: Germain's car had been a Transtector, but he had passed it on to his protégé, [[Road King]], who became the next Autobot Godmaster and aided his new team-mates in seeing the Decepticon Juniors off. {{storylink|Assemble! The Four Godmaster Gunmen}}

[[Image:Bullhorn teasescancer.jpg|right|thumb|Yeahhh....]]

Bullhorn and Wilder continued to tease Cancer over his infatuation with Minerva, but the more he denied it, the angrier Bullhorn grew, until he snarled that Cancer could go and join the Autobots if he liked her so much. Attempting to prove that Minerva meant nothing to him, Cancer had Bullhorn and Wilder join him in attacking a city to draw her out, but unfortunately for the Juniors, their attack was responded to by the violent [[Sixknight]], who nearly killed them all until Minerva and Cancer's little buddy [[Browning]] saved them. {{storylink|The Autobot Warrior, Sixknight?!}} Despite seeing where it had got them once already, Bullhorn and Wilder kept up the ribbing when the Juniors were tasked with burning food storehouses in the heartland of America, mocking Cancer for thinking that they were destroying ''all'' the food in the country. {{storylink|Destroy Godbomber!!}}

Bullhorn, Wilder and Cancer were not particularly enthusiastic about renewing the search for the final Godmaster, but the quest came to a sudden end when the Godmaster in question, [[Clouder]], actually sought the Decepticons out. {{storylink|Appearance!! The Final Godmaster}} Using his power to transform into two robot modes, Clouder infiltrated the Autobot base as a spy and acquired classified information, which he handed off to Bullhorn and the Juniors to give to Mega and Giga. {{storylink|Secret Orders! Destroy the Autobot Base!!}} Bullhorn and the Juniors participated in the ensuing Decepticon attack on the Autobot base, which concluded with its destruction. {{storylink|Disaster! The Autobot Base Explodes}}

[[Image:Bullhorn_beastmode.jpg|left|thumb|275px|"Who ya gonna call?" "Someone else!"]]

Bullhorn went into space along with the other Decepticons when [[Scorponok (G1)|BlackZarak]] was poised to unleash the evil [[Death Para-Machine]] on Earth, but was unable to participate in the battle with the Autobots that resulted, as he didn't have a booster to help him fly in space. {{storylink|Crisis! The Day of Human Extinction}} Although the Autobots were able to destroy the Death-Para Machine, Bullhorn had now seen the full extent of Devil Z's evil, and grew genuinely concerned with his plan to wipe out humanity. {{storylink|God Ginrai - Save Cancer!?}}

Later, when Clouder resurfaced on the side of the Autobots and was captured alongside Shūta, his announcement that he was betrayed by [[Turtler]] and left to die in the conflagration of the destroyed Autobot base caused all three Juniors to share uneasy looks. When Cancer wondered if this could be true, a wide-eyed Bullhorn questioned his doubts, wondering if he no longer wanted to be a Decepticon. Bullhorn soon got his answer when Ginrai arrived at the Decepticon base to rescue Shūta and Clouder, and Cancer decided to help him in battle against King Poseidon. As the Seacons lunged at the traitorous Cancer, Bullhorn opened fire on the drones and destroyed them, urging Cancer to get away to safety. {{storylink|God Ginrai: Showdown at the Decepticon Base}} Cancer proceeded to join up with the Autobots and offer them enough inside information to allow them to perform an all-out attack on the Decepticon base. During the battle, Bullhorn grappled with Cab, asking him if Cancer was okay, even as he throttled him. The conflict came to an end when Devil Z and BlackZarak fused together and collapsed the base, sending the Autobots, along with the Bullhorn and Wilder, tumbling into an undersea chasm. Bullhorn was unsure what to make of the situation, but joined with Wilder in opening fire on the Autobots as they attempted to convince him of the truth. Eventually, Ginrai was forced to jump Bullhorn and Wilder and knock them out in order to carry them to safety. {{storylink|The Ultimate Combination!! BlackZarak, the New Lifeform}}

[[Image:Bullhorn goesbyebye.jpg|right|thumb|Cancer is not the only one who would have that expression with that view...]]

Faced with the truth of Devil Z's betrayal, Bullhorn and Wilder turned their backs on the Decepticons, but had no interest in joining the Autobots and fighting "for good”. Although a hint of doubt was visible in Bullhorn's eyes, Wilder ordered him to follow him as they left. During a later battle, however, when things were looking bad for Cancer and the Autobot Juniors, Bullhorn and Wilder unexpectedly returned to help the one person that they still considered their friend win the day. {{storylink|Battle to the Death!! God Ginrai VS Darkwings Reborn}} Now reunited, the three Juniors, along with Clouder, accompanied the Autobots to the Grand Canyon on a mission to stop the composite Devil Z/BlackZarak entity. During the battle, however, all four of them were struck with a blast of the villain's [[Devil Power]], and were shocked to find their [[Master-Brace]]s had disappeared from their wrists. Devil Z had, in fact, separated them from their Transtectors and brought the robot bodies to life as true super-robot lifeforms, all four of which rejoined the Decepticon side. {{storylink|Autobots! Desperate Attack!!}}

Unable to join in the final battle with the Decepticons on the Matterhorn directly, Bullhorn and the other three boys helped to rescue civilians and huddled in an underground shelter when Devil Z unleashed his destructive Devil Thunder across Europe. {{storylink|Malevolent and Inhuman! The True Form of Devil Z}} When the Devil Thunder bombardment was halted (thanks to Ginrai engaging BlackZarak in battle), Clouder supplied the group with an armored buggy that would allow them to join in the fight. The boys arrived too late to do anything, cresting the mountain just after God Ginrai destroyed Devil Z, at which point all the other Godmasters and Headmaster Juniors were also separated from their Transtectors. Bullhorn's living Transtector departed Earth with all the other Deception Transtectors, and was pursued by the Autobots' Transtectors to carry on the Transformers' war in space. {{storylink|A Battle... and Then...}}

====''Victory'' cartoon====
[[Image:Battle in the g nebula.jpg|right|150px|thumb|]]

Bullhorn and the Decepticon Headmaster Juniors made their debut when Blood lured the Autobot Juniors into a trap to test the power of their Jinchokon. Bursting up from beneath the ground, the evil trio quickly overpowered their Autobot counterparts, but when Cancer was distracted by some endangered civilians, the heroes were able to exploit the distraction to defeat their foes. {{storylink|Destined Confrontation: The Children of Good and Evil}}

Bullhorn and his partners did not take an active hand in any of the Decepticon plans which immediately followed, but eventually took to the front lines again when their leaders, Giga and Mega, unveiled their Transtectors for an attack on [[Tokyo]]. {{storylink|God Ginrai's Amazing Super-God Combination!}} The trio were quite happy to watch when the Decepticons captured Shūta and [[Cab]] and Blood tortured them in an attempt to force them to join the Decepticons, {{storylink|The Earth Family of Good and Evil}} and later joined [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]] in attacking various spots on Earth from the top of [[Mount Everest]] with the [[A.O. Laser]]. {{storylink|Decepticons' Great Counterattack!}} Later still, Bullhorn and the Juniors accompanied Overlord and BlackZarak in attacking another Earth city, only to be stopped by the Autobot super-weapon, the [[VX Bomb]]. {{storylink|Live? Die?! The Desperate Super-God Combination}}

In the final battle, Devil Z turned against his Decepticon minions, and they united with the Autobots against him. Bullhorn joined with all the other Transformers in combining his energy into the "Perfect Transform Attack," destroying Devil Z once and for all. With Devil Z's death, the bond he had forged between the humans and their Transtectors was severed, separating the humans and brining their Transtectors to life. Bullhorn's Transtector departed for space along with all the others. {{storylink|The Birth of the Super Lifeforms}}

:Like all Headmaster toys, Bullhorn's robot mode features a spring-loaded mini-[[Tech Spec|Tech-Spec]]-meter in its chest, which gives readings for Speed, Strength and Intelligence (although he and the other Decepticon Junior molds are unique in that their meters are not covered by flip-down panels). The tumblers are activated when Bullhorn (or any other Headmaster unit) is plugged into the neck socket. Bullhorn has his robot-mode face plainly visible on his back because, as a smaller Headmaster toy, he lacks the flip-down panel that covers the face featured on larger Headmasters.

The Day of Human Extinction}} Although the Autobots were able to destroy the Death-Para Machine, Bullhorn had now seen the full extent of Devil Z's evil, and grew genuinely concerned with his plan to wipe out humanity. {{storylink|God Ginrai - Save Cancer!?}}

Later, when Clouder resurfaced on the side of the Autobots and was captured alongside Shūta, his announcement that he was betrayed by [[Turtler]] and left to die in the conflagration of the destroyed Autobot base caused all three Juniors to share uneasy looks. When Cancer wondered if this could be true, a wide-eyed Bullhorn questioned his doubts, wondering if he no longer wanted to be a Decepticon. Bullhorn soon got his answer when Ginrai arrived at the Decepticon base to rescue Shūta and Clouder, and Cancer decided to help him in battle against King Poseidon. As the Seacons lunged at the traitorous Cancer, Bullhorn opened fire on the drones and destroyed them, urging Cancer to get away to safety. {{storylink|God Ginrai: Showdown at the Decepticon Base}} Cancer proceeded to join up with the Autobots and offer them enough inside information to allow them to perform an all-out attack on the Decepticon base. During the battle, Bullhorn grappled with Cab, asking him if Cancer was okay, even as he throttled him. The conflict came to an end when Devil Z and BlackZarak fused together and collapsed the base, sending the Autobots, along with the Bullhorn and Wilder, tumbling into an undersea chasm. Bullhorn was unsure what to make of the situation, but joined with Wilder in opening fire on the Autobots as they attempted to convince him of the truth. Eventually, Ginrai was forced to jump Bullhorn and Wilder and knock them out in order to carry them to safety. {{storylink|The Ultimate Combination!! BlackZarak, the New Lifeform}}

[[Image:Bullhorn goesbyebye.jpg|right|thumb|Cancer is not the only one who would have that expression with that view...]]

Faced with the truth of Devil Z's betrayal, Bullhorn and Wilder turned their backs on the Decepticons, but had no interest in joining the Autobots and fighting "for good”. Although a hint of doubt was visible in Bullhorn's eyes, Wilder ordered him to follow him as they left. During a later battle, however, when things were looking bad for Cancer and the Autobot Juniors, Bullhorn and Wilder unexpectedly returned to help the one person that they still considered their friend win the day. {{storylink|Battle to the Death!! God Ginrai VS Darkwings Reborn}} Now reunited, the three Juniors, along with Clouder, accompanied the Autobots to the Grand Canyon on a mission to stop the composite Devil Z/BlackZarak entity. During the battle, however, all four of them were struck with a blast of the villain's [[Devil Power]], and were shocked to find their [[Master-Brace]]s had disappeared from their wrists. Devil Z had, in fact, separated them from their Transtectors and brought the robot bodies to life as true super-robot lifeforms, all four of which rejoined the Decepticon side. {{storylink|Autobots! Desperate Attack!!}}

Unable to join in the final battle with the Decepticons on the Matterhorn directly, Bullhorn and the other three boys helped to rescue civilians and huddled in an underground shelter when Devil Z unleashed his destructive Devil Thunder across Europe. {{storylink|Malevolent and Inhuman! The True Form of Devil Z}} When the Devil Thunder bombardment was halted (thanks to Ginrai engaging BlackZarak in battle), Clouder supplied the group with an armored buggy that would allow them to join in the fight. The boys arrived too late to do anything, cresting the mountain just after God Ginrai destroyed Devil Z, at which point all the other Godmasters and Headmaster Juniors were also separated from their Transtectors. Bullhorn's living Transtector departed Earth with all the other Deception Transtectors, and was pursued by the Autobots' Transtectors to carry on the Transformers' war in space. {{storylink|A Battle... and Then...}}

Bursting up from beneath the ground, the evil trio quickly overpowered their Autobot counterparts, but when Cancer was distracted by some endangered civilians, the heroes were able to exploit the distraction to defeat their foes. {{storylink|Destined Confrontation: The Children of Good and Evil}}

Bullhorn and his partners did not take an active hand in any of the Decepticon plans which immediately followed, but eventually took to the front lines again when their leaders, Giga and Mega, unveiled their Transtectors for an attack on [[Tokyo]]. {{storylink|God Ginrai's Amazing Super-God Combination!}} The trio were quite happy to watch when the Decepticons captured Shūta and [[Cab]] and Blood tortured them in an attempt to force them to join the Decepticons, {{storylink|The Earth Family of Good and Evil}} and later joined [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]] in attacking various spots on Earth from the top of [[Mount Everest]] with the [[A.O.

In the final battle, Devil Z turned against his Decepticon minions, and they united with the Autobots against him.

With Devil Z's death, the bond he had forged between the humans and their Transtectors was severed, separating the humans and brining their Transtectors to life.

:''Bullhorn is a [[human]] and a [[Decepticon]] [[Headmaster Junior]] from the [[Super-God Masterforce (franchise)|Super-God Masterforce]] portion of [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Bullhorn_human.jpg|right|thumb|300px|"Don't mess with the bull, young man, you'll get the horns."]]

'''Bullhorn''' is in it for the money, and there's not an awful lot to say about him beyond that. A former petty thug from [[Mexico]], Bullhorn was a loner who got by in life on the money he made street fighting until the [[Decepticon]]s made him a better offer. Bullhorn is basically a blunt instrument—he's quite happy to be pointed at something and instructed to cause a bit of chaos, but if he's charged with tasks as low-yield as searching or staking out, he'll quickly start moaning and look for something else to do. He's not really that bad a guy, though; he considers fellow [[Headmaster Junior]]s [[Wilder]] and [[Cancer]] real friends and genuinely looks out for them, and he's not really into the whole “evil” thing, especially to the extremes that the Decepticons want. It's really just business to Bullhorn, and he'd like to have a world to keep doing business ''on''.

As a Decepticon Headmaster Junior warrior, Bullhorn is bonded to a [[Transtector]] from the planet [[Master (planet)|Master]], which takes the form of a monstrous buffalo. His Transtector's internal infra-red scopes allow him to fight freely at night, and for short periods of time, he is able to change the color of his Transtector's metal hide like a chameleon.

[[Image:Bullhorn_armor.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Taurus, full of bull]]

Bullhorn was recruited into the Decepticons under the rule of [[Devil Z]] alongside maladjusted American biker gang leader Wilder and Chinese orphan martial artist Cancer, and bonded to a Transtector stolen from an [[Autobot]] transport ship. Bullhorn and his fellow ne'er-do-wells were sequestered in the undersea Decepticon headquarters until [[Blood]] finally announced it was time for them to reveal themselves to the world. Alongside some [[Lobclaw]] [[Seacon (Masterforce)|Seacons]], Bullhorn and the Juniors began causing chaos in a city, soon drawing the attention of the [[Autobot|Autobots]], including their own three recently created Headmaster Juniors. The Autobot Juniors were under orders to stay out of the fight and focus on rescue operations but Bullhorn and his compatriots made it tough to follow the order as they pushed and shoved [[Shūta Gō]] around while he tried to rescue a baby from a burning building. Thankfully, [[Metalhawk]] arrived to see them off, and the day was saved. {{storylink|Birth! Headmaster Jrs}}

Bullhorn accompanied Wilder when attempted to reform his old gang, the [[Jack Boys]], and sought revenge against the [[Cool Guys]], the biker gang that had crossed them, but came out on the losing side of battles against the Autobot Juniors [[Minerva]] and [[Cab]]. {{storylink|Rage!! Little Devils with No Need for Rules}} {{storylink|Go, Goshooter - Showdown in the Wasteland}}

[[Image:Bullhorn robotmode.jpg|right|thumb|225px|[[Galvatron (BWII)|Galvatron]] stole his look.]]

Bullhorn and the Juniors took something of a back seat following the arrival of the powerful [[Godmaster]]s [[Giga]], [[Mega]], [[Hydra (Masterforce)|Hydra]] and [[Buster (Masterforce)|Buster]], {{storylink|Super Warriors - The Godmaster Brothers}} but when the hunt for the next Godmaster began, the three boys put their ears to the ground to search for clues. They wound up unearthing a series of rumors that led to the next Godmaster, named [[Ginrai]], but he sided with the Autobots. {{storylink|A Hero Is Chosen - His Name Is Ginrai}} When Ginrai travelled to Japan to visit the other Autobots, Bullhorn, Wilder and Cancer ambush him en route to the Autobot base, but Ginrai thrashed all three of them soundly. {{storylink|A Strange Friendship: Cancer and Minerva}} The trio combed Japan for Ginrai in hopes of a rematch, but Bullhorn had some trouble focusing on the mission, first propositioning some girls playing tennis (with no luck) and later moaning about the heat in his Transtector. Eventually, the three punks spotted Ginrai in the background of a news report from Nagano, but inevitably lost the resultant battle. {{storylink|Friend or Foe!? The True Form of the Monster!!}} An infuriated Bullhorn was fully prepared for another bout when they saw Ginrai on a TV show for a second time while drowning their sorrows in a bar, but Wilder and Cancer told him to leave the matter to Buster and Hydra. {{storylink|Eliminate the Godmaster Ginrai}}

[[Image:Bullhorn_cards.jpg|left|thumb|Am I supposed to have a get out of jail free card?]]

Later, on an island off the coast of America, Bullhorn and the Juniors showed off their surfing skills to a group of young boys, and then offered to show them something "even cooler" – their Masterforce powers! They proceeded to kidnap the children as part of a plan by the [[Pretender]]s to draw out Ginrai, and when Bullhorn and Wilder were stuck with guard duty, they busied themselves playing cards. When the Autobots attacked, Bullhorn rushed off to join the battle, striking down Minerva when she attempted to appeal to the impressionable Cancer. The trio fled when the Pretenders pulled out of the battle, leaving [[King Poseidon]] to battle Ginrai. {{storylink|Heroism!! The Birth of Super Ginrai}}

During the search for the remaining Godmasters, Bullhorn joined the Decepticons on a mission into the Rocky Mountains and tried to get some information from a forest patrolman named [[Ranger]]. The Autobots were also in the area, and Minerva spotted Bullhorn talking with Ranger, leading her to believe that Ranger was a Decepticon too, but things turned out to be just the opposite: Ranger was, in fact, the new Autobot Godmaster. {{storylink|An Enemy? The Third Godmaster, Ranger}} The search for the Godmasters next led Bullhorn and the Juniors to France to investigate a story about a retired race car driver whose vehicle miraculously survived every crash it was in. The trio headed for the small village of Dagneux, where they confronted the racer, [[Germain]], but even Bullhorn's muscle couldn't stand up to Germain, who strong-armed all three of them out of his bar. The Juniors returned in their Transtectors to tear through the town, but were defeated when their suspicions were proven correct: Germain's car had been a Transtector, but he had passed it on to his protégé, [[Road King]], who became the next Autobot Godmaster and aided his new team-mates in seeing the Decepticon Juniors off. {{storylink|Assemble! The Four Godmaster Gunmen}}

[[Image:Bullhorn teasescancer.jpg|right|thumb|Yeahhh....]]

Bullhorn and Wilder continued to tease Cancer over his infatuation with Minerva, but the more he denied it, the angrier Bullhorn grew, until he snarled that Cancer could go and join the Autobots if he liked her so much. Attempting to prove that Minerva meant nothing to him, Cancer had Bullhorn and Wilder join him in attacking a city to draw her out, but unfortunately for the Juniors, their attack was responded to by the violent [[Sixknight]], who nearly killed them all until Minerva and Cancer's little buddy [[Browning]] saved them. {{storylink|The Autobot Warrior, Sixknight?!}} Despite seeing where it had got them once already, Bullhorn and Wilder kept up the ribbing when the Juniors were tasked with burning food storehouses in the heartland of America, mocking Cancer for thinking that they were destroying ''all'' the food in the country. {{storylink|Destroy Godbomber!!}}

Bullhorn, Wilder and Cancer were not particularly enthusiastic about renewing the search for the final Godmaster, but the quest came to a sudden end when the Godmaster in question, [[Clouder]], actually sought the Decepticons out. {{storylink|Appearance!! The Final Godmaster}} Using his power to transform into two robot modes, Clouder infiltrated the Autobot base as a spy and acquired classified information, which he handed off to Bullhorn and the Juniors to give to Mega and Giga. {{storylink|Secret Orders! Destroy the Autobot Base!!}} Bullhorn and the Juniors participated in the ensuing Decepticon attack on the Autobot base, which concluded with its destruction. {{storylink|Disaster! The Autobot Base Explodes}}

[[Image:Bullhorn_beastmode.jpg|left|thumb|275px|"Who ya gonna call?" "Someone else!"]]

Bullhorn went into space along with the other Decepticons when [[Scorponok (G1)|BlackZarak]] was poised to unleash the evil [[Death Para-Machine]] on Earth, but was unable to participate in the battle with the Autobots that resulted, as he didn't have a booster to help him fly in space. {{storylink|Crisis!

[[Image:Lightfoot human.jpg|right|320px|thumb|With all their beady little eyes, and flappin' heads so full of lies.]]
'''Lightfoot''' was born in [[United Kingdom|England]] and raised in [[Canada]], and at seventeen years old, is heir to the prestigious [[British Motors]] automotive company founded by his father, [[Leftfoot]]. Although positively ''rolling'' in money and prestige, Lightfoot has been raised to never forget his humble beginnings, and has grown up to be a gentle, polite, well-spoken man who only ever puts his position to use if it will help one of his friends. His desire to protect his fellow man makes him a natural Autobot, but there ''are'' times when he's entirely ''too'' willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of someone else.

As an [[Autobot]] [[Godmaster]], Lightfoot is bonded to a [[Transtector]] from the [[G Nebula 89|G Nebula]] which takes the form of a sports car able to attain speeds of Mach 10. Like all Godmasters, he is endowed with the ability to manipulate [[Chōkon Power]], with his specialty being the control of water. This power is epitomized in his “Land Waterfall” attack, which allows him to strike his enemies down with high-pressure jets of water summoned up from beneath the earth.

:''Voice actor:'' [[Tsutomu Kashiwakura]] (Japan)

[[Image:Lightfoot baby.jpg|left|180px|thumb|Barely out of the womb, and he's in a toque.]]
When Lightfoot was born, his father, Leftfoot, was working in a run-down automotive repair shop in England with dreams of designing and building cars himself. Moving the family to Canada in pursuit of his dream, Leftfoot toiled to create the prototype for his first car design, even mining his own ore. Leftfoot finally completed his prototype on the night of Lightfoot's second birthday, but as the family slept that night, the car erupted with iridescent light, which shone through the windows of their house and bathed the infant Lightfoot in its glow. It would be years before the truth was ever known, but Lightfoot's father had, in fact, discovered one of the [[Transtector]]s hidden on [[Earth]] by the evil alien [[Devil Z]], and mined this strange black rock as ore that he used in the construction of his car. The car proved to be a monumental success, and ultimately led to Leftfoot founding his own engineering company, British Motors. {{storylink|Lightfoot: A Dramatic Encounter}}

[[Image:Lightfoot armor.jpg|right|210px|thumb|So excited, all six of his nipples are tingling.]]
Fifteen years later, Leftfoot gifted the original car to Lightfoot for his seventeenth birthday, but after driving it for the first time, Lightfoot found his dreams plagued by visions of a giant robot. Soon after, Lightfoot happened to see the Autobot named [[Ginrai]] appearing on television as part of an attempt to locate the other Godmasters scattered across the world, and with nothing to lose, sent Ginrai a letter, including a drawing of the robot from his dreams. Intrigued by the drawing, Ginrai headed for Canada and met with Lightfoot, hearing his life story and seeing the famous car. Lightfoot allowed him to drive the car, which only served to increase Ginrai's suspicions, at which point he handed Lightfoot a pair of [[Master-Brace]]s. When Lightfoot donned the bracelets, his body was immediately enveloped in a suit of armor, proving that he was, indeed, the next Autobot Godmaster, and that his car was his Transtector. Following Ginrai's directions, Lightfoot combined with his car, transforming into the robot from his own dreams, only to be suddenly attacked by the three [[Decepticon]] [[Pretender|Pretenders]]. Fleeing back to the British Motors factory, Lightfoot battled with [[Blood]] while Ginrai tangled with [[King Poseidon]]. When the [[Seacon (Masterforce)|Seacon]] [[combiner]] was defeated, the Pretenders fled, and Lightfoot requested that Ginrai continue to teach him. {{storylink|Lightfoot: A Dramatic Encounter}}

[[Image:Lightfoot robotmode.jpg|left|220px|thumb|The warrior of the ''Edmund Fitzgerald.'']]
Ginrai brought Lightfoot to the [[Ocean Research Institute of California]], where he was introduced to the other Autobot Pretenders and [[Headmaster Junior|Headmaster Juniors]] and suggested that they continue their search for the next Godmaster in the Rocky Mountains, where his father found the ore used in his Transtector. Although the mine itself yielded no results, the group encountered a forest patrolman named [[Ranger]], who proved to be the third Autobot Godmaster. {{storylink|An Enemy? The Third Godmaster, Ranger}}

Taking a break from the search for the Godmasters, Lightfoot invited the Headmaster Juniors to accompany him to the Rouen Circuit in [[France]], where British Motors were competing in the F1 World Grand Prix. Lightfoot admitted that they didn't have much chance against the reigning champ [[Road King]], but happily introduced [[Shūta Gō|Shūta]] and [[Cab]] to the racer so they could get autographs from him. The race had an unexpected ending, however, when Road King proved to be the fourth Autobot Godmaster! {{storylink|Assemble! The Four Godmaster Gunmen}} With all three Godmasters located, Lightfoot went with the rest of the team on a mission to rescue doctors held captive on [[Atlan Island]] by the [[Decepticon]]s, tackling [[Gilmer]] and using his Land Waterfall attack on a swarm of Seacons. {{storylink|Save the Little Girl! The Chōjin Warriors, the Godmasters}}

[[Image:Lightfoot kicksblood.jpg|right|180px|thumb|DIS-ARMED!]]
Lightfoot soon found himself targeted by the Decepticon Godmasters [[Hydra (Masterforce)|Hydra]] and [[Buster (Masterforce)|Buster]], who had decided to divide and conquer the Autobots, with Lightfoot being the unlucky first choice. While filming a commercial for British Motors with Road King, Lightfoot received word from a panicked secretary that Leftfoot had been kidnapped, and immediately raced to the factory building where the evil brothers were holding his father. Unable to make a move, Lightfoot nearly had his Master-Braces (and hands!) cut off by Hydra, but the other Autobot Godmasters arrived just in time to help. The heroes successfully routed the brothers, and in gratitude, Leftfoot allowed the Autobots to use the British Motors factory to construct their new [[Godbomber]] drone. {{storylink|Life? Death? The Desperate Lightfoot}} The factory soon came under attack by Decepticons seeking to destroy Godbomber, but Lightfoot was able to take down Blood and [[Dauros]] while Road King led Hydra and Buster away into the forest. With their Pretender foes dispatched, Lightfoot and Ranger pursued Road King and the Decepticon brothers into the wilderness, and the three Autobots thrashed the Decepticon duo into retreat. {{storylink|Will the Bomber Project Be Destroyed!?}} The construction of Godbomber was subsequently completed, and its power allowed Ginrai to travel into space to battle [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]] and [[Scorponok (G1)|BlackZarak]]. {{storylink|God Ginrai - Into the Sky!!}} Lightfoot and the other Autobots could do nothing but watch the battle from Earth, but Ginrai ultimately emerged victorious. {{storylink|God Ginrai - Showdown on the Surface of the Moon}}

[[Image:Lightfoot pwned.jpg|left|215px|thumb|You need to be "corrected", boy!]]
When Decepticon construction on the ocean floor off the coast of [[Australia]] caused an earthquake in Sydney, Lightfoot headed beneath the waves to investigate, discovering that the villains had reawakened a dormant underwater volcano. Lightfoot was attacked by a swarm of Seacons and sent tumbling into a sub-sea chasm, and when Ginrai arrived to rescue him, the pair were buried in an avalanche by King Poseidon. The volcano erupted as they attempted to dig themselves out, and Lightfoot, desperate to save his commander from the magma flow, attempted to self-destruct and blow up the rock wall. Ginrai was forced to punch some sense into Lightfoot, and fortunately for both of them, Godbomber arrived to break them free. Together, Ginrai and Lightfoot took out the Seacons and King Poseidon, and fled the scene as the eruption's cooling lava formed a small island. {{storylink|Escape!! The Underwater Volcano Erupts}}

Luck seemed to be on the Autobots' side when they were joined by the final Godmaster, [[Clouder]], but in truth, he was a Decepticon double agent sent to infiltrate their base. When Clouder's true identity was revealed, Lightfoot joined in the battle to take him down, but was soon called away from the base alongside Ginrai and the other Godmasters to deal with an attack by Hydra and Buster on a nearby city. {{storylink|Secret Orders! Destroy the Autobot Base!!|Secret Orders! Destroy the Autobot Base!!}} Alas, Lightfoot and the Godmasters were unaware that this was merely a distraction to keep them occupied while the other Decepticons used Clouder's inside information to attack and destroy the Autobot base. {{storylink|Disaster! The Autobot Base Explodes|Disaster! The Autobot Base Explodes}} As if losing their headquarters wasn't bad enough, things soon got even worse for the Autobots when BlackZarak returned {{storylink|BlackZarak - Destroyer from Space|BlackZarak - Destroyer from Space}} and Lightfoot the Autobots had to head into space to stop him from using the unholy [[Death Para-Machine]] against the Earth. {{storylink|Crisis!

As Decepticon attacks across the Earth increased, Lightfoot went up against Overlord in Southern Europe {{storylink|God Ginrai - Save Cancer!?}} and Hydra and Buster in West [[Germany]] {{storylink|God Ginrai: Showdown at the Decepticon Base}} and then joined in an all-out Autobot attack on the Decepticon headquarters, during which Devil Z and BlackZarak fused together. {{storylink|The Ultimate Combination!! BlackZarak, the New Lifeform}} With the Decepticons on the run, the Autobots pursued them to the [[Grand Canyon]], where the team of Lightfoot and Road King came under attack from the Decepticon Pretenders, and were then trapped in a cave by Hydra and Buster. The pair were not able to extricate themselves until the battle was done and the Decepticons had escaped, {{storylink|Autobots! Desperate Attack!!}} but the Autobots quickly tracked the villains down to the Alps, where Lightfoot, Ranger and Road King were promptly buried under an avalanche by the merged BlackZarak/Devil Z entity. Ginrai and Grand Maximus dug the three heroes out, but Ginrai requested that they stay back so that he could make the first strike on BlackZarak himself. {{storylink|Malevolent and Inhuman! The True Form of Devil Z}} While Ginrai engaged BlackZarak in battle, Lightfoot and the other Godmasters battled the weakened Hydra and Buster, and then the Transtectors of Clouder, [[Wilder]], [[Cancer]] and [[Bullhorn]], which had been brought to life by the power of Devil Z. Overhead, Ginrai and the Headmaster Juniors united their powers to destroy BlackZarak and Devil Z for good, prompting the Decepticons to break off the battle and flee into space. As Lightfoot and the rest of the heroes watched them go, the Autobots were all enveloped in bright light, and when it faded, found that the death of Devil Z had caused them to be separated from their Transtectors. The Transtectors themselves continued to live on as true super-robot lifeforms, and Lightfoot's Transtector joined with the others in pursuing the Decepticons and continuing the Transformers' war out in space. {{storylink|A Battle... and Then...}}

Lightfoot made his dramatic entrance alongside Ranger and Road King, arriving in the midst of a battle between the other Autobots and a legion of legendary Decepticons with a trailer for Ginrai in tow. At Lightfoot's instruction, Ginrai combined with the trailer and wiped out the Decepticons with a blast of Chōkon Power, revealing that they were simply holograms. {{storylink|Burn, Super Soul!

Lightfoot traveled with the other Autobots to the planet [[Athenia]] to attend Ginrai's coronation as [[Supreme Commander]] {{storylink|The Battle Begins!

When BlackZarak and Overlord attacked Tokyo, Lightfoot and the Godmasters held off BlackZarak while Ginrai unleashed the new Autobot weapon, [[VX Bomb]], against Overlord. {{storylink|Live? Die?! The Desperate Super-God Combination}} The Godmasters also joined Ginrai in defending a city where [[Cancer]] went to against BlackZarak and the [[Sparkdash]], during which battle Lightfoot teamed with Road King to take down [[Sizzle (Masterforce)|Sizzle]]. {{storylink|Great Turn-Around! Autobots}}

During the final battle, Devil Z possessed BlackZarak and turned on the other Decepticons, intending to absorb their Jinchōkon in order to become the ultimate lifeform. Saved by Ginrai and the Pretenders, the Decepticons turned on their former leader, and joined with Lightfoot and all the other Autobots in uniting their energies into the "Perfect Transform Attack", destroying Devil Z and BlackZarak once and for all. As the light from the explosion faded, Lightfoot was the first to notice that the humans' Master-Braces had vanished from their wrists, and more shocks were to follow as it turned out that all the Autobots and Decepticons' Transtectors had come to life as true super-robot lifeforms. The Transtectors departed for space to carry on their war away from Earth, leaving Lightfoot and the others to return to their lives. {{storylink|The Birth of the Super Lifeforms}}

*'''Lightfoot''' (Autobot Godmaster, 1988)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-304'''
**''Accessories:'' Godmaster Transtector, Electromagnetic Rifle

:Lightfoot's Transtector transforms into a modified white Mazda RX-7 FC3S sports car, to the roof of which the figure's Electromagnetic Rifle can be attached. As a Godmaster, Lightfoot is unable to transform to robot mode until the Lightfoot Godmaster figure is transformed into engine mode and snapped in place on the car's hood, unlocking the figure for transformation (although one can unlock the transformation simply by pressing down on the panel). Lightfoot's robot mode is mostly static for a relatively large toy, with articulation restricted to its arms.

:This toy was sold concurrently in [[Hasbro]] markets without changes as [[Getaway]] and [[Rev]]. In Japan, the Godmaster engine was [[redeco]]ed into [[Zetca]].

==Notes==
*According to Lightfoot's supplementary [[bio]] card, he is 17 years old. The card also adds to the confusion of his heritage by stating he is an American.
