'''Iron Man''', aka '''Anthony Edward Stark''', appears to be the most sensible member of his species. While a normal, squishy human would be content to walk around vulnerable to attack, he has taken the surprisingly logical step of encasing himself in a metal suit carrying advanced weapons like a ''proper'' being (or, at least, the opposite of a [[Pretender]]).

He is not [[G.B. Blackrock]].

: The Marvel ''[[Crossovers]]'' Iron Man transforms into a fighter jet of madeup-make, bearing more than a passing resemblance to an [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|F-22 Raptor]] with a [[For safety reasons|stubby nose cone]] and large/stretched wings, under-slung with non-firing missiles. Each wing is also equipped with a spring-loaded missile launcher, which can be mounted on the undersides of his robot-mode forearms.

: This mold was later redecoed in gray and black. Note that the toy pictures on the packaging have a different color scheme than the actual toy.

Gingham

[[Image:Zone-art Gingham.jpg|right|300px|thumb|He makes a fine Old Western dress.]]
'''Gingham''' leads the [[Super Car Patrol Team]]. He is presumably childlike and precocious and suchlike.

*'''Super Car Patrol Team''' (Micro Transformer team, 1990)
*''Japanese ID number'': '''C-333'''

: Gingham is a [[redeco]] of the [[Decepticon]] [[Sports Car Patrol]] member [[Hyperdrive]], transforming into a Mitsubishi Eclipse sports car. He was only available in a complete set with his teammates [[Black Heat]], [[Deadhour]] and [[Road Hugger (Zone)|Road Hugger]].

===Return of Convoy===
*'''Super Car Patrol Team''' (Micro Trailer team, 1991)
*''Japanese ID number'': '''C-375'''

: The Super Car Patrol Team was released a year later without alteration as part of the ''[[Return of Convoy]]'' line. The only difference is with the inclusion of [[Micro Trailer]] #12, an accessory that uses a spring-loaded mechanism to launch Micromasters, and can also be carried by [[Sky Garry]] or stored within [[Grandus (G1)|Grandus]].

==Trivia==
* Gingham's model came up—sort of—in the previous Japanese TV series, ''[[Victory (cartoon)|Victory]]'', where it was used as the basis for the show-only female Micro Transformer [[Clipper]]. The color scheme even lines up more-or-less, making Gingham a pretty darn suitable stand-in-toy for her.

Lionbreast

2009-04-28T13:35:38Z

189.153.84.48: /* Victory */

{{factions|decepticon}}
:''Lionbreast is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Victory (franchise)|Victory]] portion of the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Lionbreast cartoon.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Publicity still for his Visionaries audition.]]
'''Lionbreast''' is the [[Breast Animal]] partner of the team's leader, [[Leozack]]. Savage and cruel, it will happily obey his every command. Lionbreast transforms from Leozack's breastplate into both a mechanical lion and the handheld "Leo Cannon" blaster.

==Fiction==
===''Victory'' cartoon===
[[Image:Leozack and lionbreast.jpg|left|220px|thumb|Energon: Cat-bots ask for it by name.]]
When Leozack and the [[Dinoforce]] attacked [[Star Saber (G1)|Star Saber]] on [[Jean Minakaze]]'s first day of school, the Lionbreast grappled with [[Holi]]. {{storylink|Attack! Leozack}}

Later, [[Deathsaurus]] decided to exploit the diminutive stature of the Lionbreast and the other Breast Animals, luring the [[Autobot|Autobots]] into an American subway system, where the cramped quarters put them at the mercy of the ferocious creatures. [[Blacker]] wound up tangling with Leozack, the Lionbreast and [[Killbison]]'s [[Bisonbreast]], but was able to hold his own until the villains called retreat. {{storylink|Big City - Underground Terror}}

In a battle that took place shortly after [[Hellbat]] arrived to join the Breastforce on Earth, Lionbreast and the other Breast Animals were all unleashed upon Star Saber in midair and successfully caused him to crash. {{storylink|The New Warrior - Hellbat}} Soon afterward, when Leozack and Hellbat attempted to steal energy from a Nevada shuttleport, the Lionbreast savaged [[Machtackle]]. {{storylink|Attack the Shuttle Base!!}}

[[Image:Lionbreast blaster mode.jpg|right|220px|thumb|]]

When the Breastforce threatened [[Marine City]] with a neutron bomb, the Autobots attempted to stop them. Star Saber knocked the remote control for the bomb from Leozack's hand, but before he could grab it himself, the team's Breast Animals pounced upon him, and the Lionbreast recovered the remote for its master. Fortunately, the bomb had been disarmed by [[Braver]]. {{storylink|Tanker Hijack Operation|Tanker Hijack Operation}} Not long after, Lionbreast and the Breast Animals faced off against Star Saber once more during a battle in the asteroid belt, but were scattered by a barrage of fire from [[Galaxy Shuttle]]. {{storylink|A Fierce Battle!! The Asteroid}}

With the addition of [[Gaihawk]] to the Breastforce ranks, the team preferred to fight in their combined form of [[Liokaiser]] rather than individually, and as such, the Breast Animals were deployed less frequently. Immediately before the team's first combination, during a clash on planet [[Micro]], the Lionbreast was released to attack Star Saber, but a single kick from the Autobot hero knocked it to the ground. {{storylink|Unite! Liokaiser}}

In its next battle, the Lionbreast went up against [[Victory Leo]] with the aid of the [[Komoribreast]], but the two creatures were no match for the feral Autobot, and the Lionbreast was easily pinned beneath Leo's massive paw. {{storylink|Fight!! Victory Leo}} The Lionbreast's final recorded appearance offered it a rematch with Victory Leo, and it fared much better, biting into the Autobot's leg and causing him to collapse before gnawing on his arm. {{storylink|Awaken! Victory Leo}}

===''Victory'' comic===
On his first mission to [[Earth]], Leozack managed to ''forget'' to bring the Lionbreast with him, leaving his unprotected torso wide open to a damaging attack from Star Saber. {{storylink|Leozack Rumbles Violently!}}

: Released only in Japan, Lionbreast was packaged with his partner, Leozack. He transforms from a robotic lion to a breastplate that Leozack (and only Leozack) can wear, or into a hand-held blaster. Like all of the Breast Animals, while he can be stored in armor-form in his larger partner's vehicle mode, he cannot form part of the team's combined mode [[Liokaiser]].

Dinoforce

2009-04-28T01:27:49Z

189.153.84.48:

{{factions|decepticon}}

:''The Dinoforce are a [[Decepticon]] subgroup from the [[Victory (franchise)|Victory]] portion of [[Generation 1]].''

[[Image:Dinoforce goryuisgreat.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Open the door / Get on the floor / Everybody walk the Dinoforce]]
The '''Dinoforce''' (恐竜戦隊 ''Kyōryū Sentai'') has the combined brainpower of a melon. A very, very stupid melon. They are looked down upon by the other Decepticons, most notably the [[Breastforce]], because they're just so darn stupid. Despite being dinosaurs, they are not very strong and resort to combining into [[Dinoking]] in a tight spot. The [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] they ain't.

Rather uniquely, the Dinoforce's Pretender shells appear to have some level of independent thought; when the Dinoforce aren't merged with them, they can think and act on their own, though usually simply doing whatever they were told to do by their robot masters. In fact, team leader [[Gōryū]] rides around on the back of his shell rather than within it. Another odd thing is that the Dinoforce rarely—possibly never—seem to convert into their "monster" alternate modes when outside of their shells.

The Dinoforce consist of:

*[[Gōryū]] (leader)
*[[Kakuryū]]
*[[Gairyū]]
*[[Yokuryū]]
*[[Rairyū]]
*[[Doryū]]

They can combine to form [[Dinoking]].

:''Also known as:'' '''Dinosaur Force'''
:''English-Malay dub name:'' '''Dinosaur Regiment'''
:''Latin American dub name:'' '''Batallón de Dinosaurios (Dinosaur Battalion)'''

==Fiction==
===''Victory'' cartoon===
The Dinoforce was frequently used by [[Deathsaurus]], likely because he didn't have any other troops other than the Breastforce at his disposal, and thus if he got rid of them before the series started, then he wouldn't have had any troops ''at all''. The bumbling idiots miserably failed every mission they were given, and about their only purpose to the plot other than comic relief is that an attack by them killed [[Jean Minakaze]]'s parents. Presumably, the parents laughed themselves to death, either at the sight of the Dinofarce in action, or else at Star Saber's melodramatic dialogue. Eventually, when Deathsaurus raided the energy from [[Atlantis]], he abandoned the Dinoforce to die, despite their blind loyalty to him. Out of resentment for being betrayed, they supplied the information that Deathsaurus's giant fortress had a weak point. When last seen, the Dinoforce appeared to have turned good.

===''Victory'' comic===
During the final showdown between the [[Autobot|Autobots]] and [[Decepticon|Decepticons]] within [[Deathsaurus]]'s [[Decepticon Space City|Space Stronghold]], the Dinoforce proved to be of little use against [[Galaxy Shuttle]] and the [[Victories]]. Eventually, however, Deathsaurus admitted defeat and introduced the Autobots to what he was really fighting for: the Decepticon civilians living in the city atop the Stronghold. With peace at last attained between the two factions, the Dinoforce were joyfully reunited with their precious [[Baby Dinoforce|babies]]. {{storylink|Heroic! The Victory War|Heroic! The Victory War}}

==Toys==
===Victory===
*'''Dinoking''' (Multi-pack, 1989)

:''Japanese ID number'': '''D-328'''

: The Dinoforce toys share the same robot molds as the [[Hasbro]] [[Pretender Monster|Pretender Monsters]], but their [[Pretender]] shells are modeled after dinosaurs with cyborg armor attachments rather than monsters. Each one transforms into a small monster-robot, plus has a third mode as part of the combiner robot Dinoking.

: The entire team was available both as six individually packaged pieces and in a big six-bot set as Dinoking.

==Trivia==
* The Dinoforce shells are notable for developing a green patina on the painted-gold portions, as well as a slimy texture over their whole surface over time. What causes this is unknown, but ''ick''. Even previously unopened samples will develop this nastiness. While some water and a little bit of hand-soap should take care of the slime, there's not much to be done about the green discoloration.

* Note that although "Dinoforce" is spelled out in English on the toy packaging, the group breaks Japanese ''Transformers'' convention by not actually being referred to by their English name in the animated series. Instead, they are identified as the "''Kyōryū Sentai''", literally, the "'''Dinosaur War Squad'''". They are not, however, the only [[wikipedia:Kyoryu_Sentai_Zyuranger|Kyoryū]] [[wikipedia:Bakuryuu_Sentai_Abaranger|Sentai]] in existence to have dinosaur partners.

* Despite their comical nature, the Dinoforce are among the few Decepticons that have been seen to kill humans.

* As opposed to the Pretenders in [[Super-God Masterforce (franchise)|Super-God Masterforce]], the Dinoforce follows a concept that is much closer to the American version in that the robot and the shell can operate as separate units.
