'''Liokaiser''' is the combined form of the [[Breastforce]], an elite combat team consisting of land and air assault vehicles who hail from the [[Death Zone]]. He is powerful, cruel, merciless, and-unlike pretty much every other combiner-intelligent to boot. An expert in melee combat, he's fought against [[Star Saber (Victory)|Star Saber]] and [[Road Caesar]] on several occasions and promptly beat the stuffing out of them. It's possible the only opponents he can't contend with are Victory Saber and [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]].

Liokaiser is composed of the Decepticons [[Leozack]], [[Drillhorn]], [[Gaihawk]], [[Hellbat]], [[Jarugar]], and [[Killbison]]. Despite their unusually high levels of coordination and ruthlessness, Liokaiser's performance may suffer if the individual minds get distracted.

===Cartoon continuity===
====''Victory'' cartoon====
:''Voice actor:'' [[Keiichi Nanba]] (Japanese)

As the war between Autobots and Decepticons intensified on Earth, Deathsaurus began calling in members of the Breastforce to aid him. Although effective on their own, team leader Leozack began making preparations to unleash his team's true potential, leading an attack on Planet Micro to liberate Gaihawk {{storylink|Rescue! Gaihawk}} and calling in his more trustworthy comrade [[Deathcobra|Deathcobra]] to replace the scheming Hellbat as part of Liokaiser. Unfortunately, Hellbat arrived bearing news of Deathcobra's death at the hands of [[Holi|Holi]]-in truth covering his own role in his fellow Decepticon's murder-and the Breastforce would perform their first combination "in some time" to battle [[Star Saber (Victory)|Star Saber]], who arrived in defense of Holi and his friends.

Liokaiser proved a great challenge for Star Saber, badly damaging and nearly defeating him. Star Saber was only saved by the arrival of God [[Ginrai]], but Liokaiser pulverized him too. Working together, the injured Autobots barely managed to drive off Liokaiser. {{storylink|Unite! Liokaiser}}

He continued to wreak havoc on the Autobots for the rest of the series, but became less of a threat when Victory Saber came around. He wields a [[wikipedia:Sansetsukon|sansetsukon]] (a staff that can extend into a chain-weapon) tipped with detachable, spinning spike-rings.

At the end of the series, when Deathsaurus brought his fortress online, Liokaiser battled to stop Star Saber and Victory Leo from entering it. He was killed when [[Victory Leo]] blasted him into the main cannon of [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]]'s [[Planet-Destroying Fortress]]. {{storylink|Showdown!

====''Zone'' catalog====

Revived from death by some means and lead by the reborn [[Emperor of Destruction|Dark Emperor]] [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]], Liokaiser joined several other powerful Decepticons in an assault on planet [[Zone (planet)|Zone]]. Attempting to steal their [[Energon Z]], the Decepticons proved no match for the [[Micromaster]]s and were driven away. What became of Liokaiser after this is unknown. {{storylink|Zone (story page)#Catalogue story page 1|Zone Project Story}}

===''Victory'' comic===
Frustrated at not being able to find the Breastforce, [[Jean Minakaze]] kicked a piece of junk over a rise, only to hear a noise of pain from Liokaiser, who was hiding behind it. Liokaiser announced that, as Deathsaurus was laid up with some illness, Jean and Star Saber were going to have to face him instead. Jean and Star Saber combined, but were seized by the combiner, only for his component parts to start arguing over which of them would finish the Autobots off. Distracted, Liokaiser was thus unable to prevent the pair wriggling free and ganging up on him. The Breastforce retreated hastily. {{storylink|The Star of Friendship, Jean and Star Saber!}}

Liokaiser, [[Dinoking]] and Deathsaurus were finally able to bring down Star Saber in battle, but before they could finish him off, Victory Leo came to the rescue. The two Autobots combined into Victory Saber, but the Decepticons attacked anyway and were blasted by Victory Saber's Flash Victory attack, forcing another retreat. {{storylink|The Strongest Partners, the Combination of Victory!}} Deathsaurus and Liokaiser continued to plunder Earth's energy, with the Autobots seemingly powerless to stop them. Liokaiser had [[Braver]] and [[Laster]] at his mercy when [[Blacker]] arrived and the Brainmasters were able to form Road Caesar. Even [[Solon Kitakaze (Victory)|Solon Kitakaze]] turned against his former Decepticon comrades. With power lent to them by the [[Victories]], Victory Saber and Road Caesar were able to send the Decepticons packing. {{storylink|Shine! The Five Stars of Victory}}

===''Transformer PD Type'' comic===
Facing Victory Saber, Liokaiser was bemused by his foe's speech constantly being interrupted by Victory Leo's head. {{storylink|Transformer PD Type##2 "He's Here! Victory Saber!!"|He's Here! Victory Saber!!}} Just as Star Saber had Deathsaurus on the ropes, the Decepticon leader brought in Liokaiser. Star Saber attempted unsuccessfully to distract the combiner with some tuna, and ended up having to hide from the two Decepticons. {{storylink|Transformer PD Type##5 "Don't Lose!

*'''Liocaesar''' <small title="source in context">[''[[Template:Sic|sic]]'']</small> (Multi-pack, 1989)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''D-335'''
**''Component members/Accessories:'' Leozack (Liokaiser head), Drillhorn, Gaihawk, Hellbat, Jarugar (2 missiles), Killbison (2 cannons, combined gun handle)

: Released only in Japan, Liokaiser is a unique and highly sought-after combiner. Unlike most other combiners, Liokaiser has almost no "combiner [[kibble]]", his feet and hands being built into the component robots. Only his combined-mode head is a separate accessory; even his hand-weapon is assembled from Killbison and Jarugar's extra weapons. However, in this form, the individuals' breastplate-animal partners cannot be stored and must be put aside.

: Though his components were all sold as individuals, they were also available in a single Liokaiser box set.

: Four of the six components to Liokaiser were used to make the European-[[exclusive]] [[Rescue Force]]. Unless you are in need of an armless combiner whose head is tiny, you should not attempt to combine them.
