:''The Breastforce are a [[Decepticon]] [[subgroup]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Breastforce cartoon.jpg|right|300px|thumb|A team of boobs.]]
The '''Breastforce''' (ブレストフォース ''Buresutofōsu'') (tee hee!) are [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]]'s elite troopers, comprising some of the most vile Decepticons imaginable, from murderous back-stabbers to incarcerated convicts, all hailing from the [[Death Zone]]. Deathsaurus himself is also a member of the subgroup, but the name is most often used to refer to the elite six-robot team that serves under him. The group derives their... ''unusual'' name from the [[Breast Animal]]s they are partnered with, which transform from their titular (snicker) breastplate armor into an autonomous robotic animal or hand-held blaster. Don't let the name fool you, the Breastforce are nothing to laugh at.

(giggle)

The core six members of the Breastforce are:

*[[Leozack]], Deathsaurus's second-in-command and Grumman F-14D Tomcat fighter jet, partnered with [[Lionbreast]].
*[[Drillhorn (Victory)|Drillhorn]], the tunnelling machine, partnered with [[Hornbreast]].
*[[Guyhawk]], the MAPO MiG-29 "Fulcrum" fighter jet, partnered with [[Hawkbreast]].
*[[Hellbat (Victory)|Hellbat]], the Dassault Rafale fighter jet, partnered with [[Kōmoribreast]].
*[[Jallguar]], the Baja buggy, partnered with [[Jaguarbreast]].
*[[Killbison]], the Gepard anti-aircraft tank, partnered with [[Bisonbreast]].

Others members include:

*[[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]], Decepticon [[Emperor of Destruction]] and dragon/bird-monster, partnered with [[Tigerbreast]] and [[Eaglebreast]]
*[[Deathcobra (Victory)|Deathcobra]], the Mi-24 "Hind" assault helicopter, partnered with [[Cobrabreast]].

Leozack, Drillhorn, Guyhawk, Hellbat, Jallguar, and Killbison can combine to form the super-warrior [[Liokaiser]]. Deathcobra was also capable of combining with the team, but died before he got the chance. Sometimes, Deathsaurus takes the place of both Leozack and Jallguar as the combiner's torso.

Sometimes they are called the '''Destrons'''.

Leozack was the first of the Breastforce to join Deathsaurus for his campaign against [[Earth]], {{storylink|Sneak Attack! Dinoking}} but he quickly developed designs on Decepticon leadership himself. {{storylink|Move Out! Rescue Team}} He was soon joined by his teammates Drillhorn, Jallguar and Killbison, {{storylink|Unite!! Multiforce}} and the team performed such missions as the raiding of the Neo Uranium Mines {{storylink|Infiltration... The Uranium Mine}} and the theft of energy from an American subway system. During the latter mission, the team's Breast Animals came to the fore, as they were unleashed upon the [[Autobot]]s in the cramped quarters of the underground tunnels. {{storylink|Big City - Underground Terror}}

Leozack later summoned the fifth Breastforcer, Hellbat, to Earth, but upon witnessing his leader getting dressed down by Deathsaurus, Hellbat decided he himself would make a better leader for the Breastforce. {{storylink|The New Warrior - Hellbat}} Ever the schemer, Hellbat's honeyed words roped the rest of the Breastforce into several plots, like the theft of energy from a shuttle port {{storylink|Attack the Shuttle Base!!}} or the ransom of [[Marine City]]. {{storylink|Tanker Hijack Operation}} Since the silver-tongued sneak was usually able to pass the blame for any failures on to Leozack, none of the other Breastforce members really trusted Hellbat, and Leozack began making plans to get rid of him. After rescuing their sixth teammate, Guyhawk, from the [[Planet Micro Satellite Penitentiary]], {{storylink|Rescue! Guyhawk}} Leozack summoned his old friend Deathcobra so that he could boot Hellbat out and the remaining six could combine into the giant robot, Liokaiser. Attempting to secure his position on the team, Hellbat petitioned Deathcobra to leave, but when a fight broke out between the two, Hellbat accidentally killed Deathcobra and blamed the murder on the Autobot [[Micromaster]] [[Holi]]. Seeking revenge, the Breastforce merged into Liokaiser and defeated [[Star Saber (Victory)|Star Saber]] in their first battle. {{storylink|Unite! Liokaiser}}

[[Image:Liokaiser death.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Oh, not ''another'' black recolor...]]
Back on Earth, the Breastforce battled Star Saber and [[Road Caesar]] at the [[Schaeffer Energy]] plant, {{storylink|Battle Up of Wrath!!}} and then went up against [[Landcross (Victory)|Landcross]] in the South Pole. {{storylink|Fight to the Death!! Antarctic Battle}} They later lured the [[Brainmaster]]s into an ambush in the desert {{storylink|Crisis! Ambush in the Desert}} and helped Deathsaurus battle Star Saber, {{storylink|A Deadly Battle}} then proceeded to perform numerous energy raids across the world, {{storylink|Ginrai Dies!!}} only to be repeatedly stymied by new Autobot [[Victory Leo]] {{storylink|Fight!! Victory Leo}} {{storylink|Awaken! Victory Leo}} and his ability to combine with Star Saber. {{storylink|The Tide Is Turned! The Ultimate Weapon, the Victory Unification}}

After plots that involved Leozack disguising himself as Star Saber {{storylink|A Mystery?! The Deception of the Base Bombs}} and unleashing metal-eating insects on the Autobots, {{storylink|The Death-Bringing Space Insects!!}} the Breastforce accompanied Deathsaurus into space once he had obtained enough energy to reactivate his [[Planet-Destroying Fortress]]. {{storylink|The Wrath of the Resurrected Giant Fortress!}} The Autobots arrived to stop the villains while the fortress's main cannon was charging, and the Breastforce, combined as Liokaiser, engaged Victory Leo in battle. The feral Autobot was able to blast the combiner into the barrel of the cannon, which drained his energy dry. As his body blackened, Liokaiser could feel his consciousness begin to fade, and he could only manage a faint cry for help as his deactivated body drifted off into the depths of space. {{storylink|Showdown! The Fortress vs the Victory Unification}}

====''Zone'' catalog====
Revived from death by some means and lead by the reborn [[Emperor of Destruction|Dark Emperor]] [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]], The Breastforce in the combined form of Liokaiser joined several other powerful Decepticons in an assault on planet [[Micro|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|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)#Catalogue story page 1|Zone Project Story}}

===''Victory'' manga===
[[Image:Breastforce manga.jpg|left|250px|thumb]]
When the Breastforce arrived to join Deathsaurus in stealing energy from Earth, Leozack made his first strike alone, but botched it by forgetting to take his Breast Animal with him. {{storylink|Leozack Rumbles Violently!}} The rest of the team later battled Star Saber in their individual forms {{storylink|Warrior of Love, Star Saber!}} and still later combined with Leozack into Liokaiser to engage the Autobot leader on [[Energy Planet X]]. Liokaiser had the upper hand in this battle, but the tide turned when his individual components began arguing amongst themselves over who would get to deliver the killing blow, and Star Saber used the opening to defeat them. {{storylink|The Star of Friendship, Jan and Star Saber!}}

Subsequent fights did not go well for Liokaiser; first, he was thrashed by Star Saber when the Autobot leader combined with Victory Leo to become Victory Saber, {{storylink|The Strongest Partners, the Combination of Victory!}} and was then flattened by the united Autobots' "Five Stars of Victory" attack. {{storylink|Shine! The Five Stars of Victory}} Following this defeat, the Decepticons retreated into space and began attacking Earth using Deathsaurus's "Space Stronghold". Naturally, the Autobots pursued, and when Deathsaurus engaged Star Saber in a space battle, Leozack saw an opportunity to remove all his enemies at once. Even as his shocked teammates looked on, Leozack turned the fortress's main cannon on Deathsaurus! Deathsaurus survived the blast and fired upon the fortress with his own weapons, after which Star Saber came smashing through the fortress's control room window and slashed Leozack with his sword. Even as he collapsed in front of the Autobots, Leozack begged them not to destroy the fortress, and the true nature of the massive craft was revealed to the Autobots: It contained the Decepticons' [[relatives|families]], whom they had been fighting to protect all along. {{storylink|Heroic!

:The Breastforce were sold boxed with their Breast Animal partners, and consisted of seven all-new molds. The six smaller members could combine into Liokaiser (notable for his atypical almost-total lack of [[Kibble|combiner kibble]]), and were also sold together in a [[giftset]].

:Leozack, Killbison, Jallguar, and Drillhorn were later remolded to create the [[Rescue Force]] members [[Rescue Force (individual)|Rescue Force]], [[Rescue Force 1]], [[Rescue Force 2]], and [[Rescue Force 3]], respectively.

==Notes==
*The term "Breastforce" is consistently romanized as "Brestforce" in every English instance of the name on the toy's packaging and tech spec materials. It may be a misspelling, or a usage of the obsolete alternate spelling "[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/brest brest]"; belief that it was the latter led to the "Brestforce" spelling being used in the subtitles produced for [[Metrodome]] and [[Madman Entertainment]]'s releases of ''Victory''. Although the "Brestforce" rendering avoids immature jokes, it does imply that they're [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brest%2C_Belarus from Belarus].
* Following the trend in later Japanese Generation 1 series, the six combining members of Breastforce have fairly uniform tech spec numbers. Like their opposites in ''Victory'', the Brainmasters, four of them essentially have straight 8s, with a couple numbers slightly higher or lower to indicate their specialties, and all have totals in the neighborhood of 64.

==Notes==
*With Sky Shadow being an obvious pretool of [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]], Ominus's robot mode is based on the original [[Mega]] toy, one of Overlord's [[Godmaster (lifeform)|Godmaster]] partners.
*Ominus has a fairly dismal pun for a name: A shadow in the sky would certainly seem ''ominous''.

Orbital Cycle

2017-02-01T01:52:39Z

AlexMaximus: /* Notes */

An '''Orbital Cycle ''' is a unit of time that corresponds to how long [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron's]] largest moon takes to orbit the planet, which makes it the Cybertronian equivalent of a month. Each orbital cycle consists of thirty-two [[solar cycle]]s while ten orbital cycles make up a Cybertronian year, or a stellar cycle. Each orbital cycle has its own name and is associated with a sign from the [[Cybertronian zodiac]]. They are, in order that they appear in the [[Gregevorian Calendar]] system:

*Ferruneon - Trickery ([[Xal]])
*Navitaneon - Time ([[Chronarchitect]])
*Primaneon - Hunger ([[Void|The Void]])
*Inrituneon - Hunter ([[Shokaract]])
*Chokoneon - Unity ([[The One]])
*Zetcaneon - Combination ([[Serpentor|Serpent O.R.]])
*Boltaneon - Growth ([[Yggdrasill]])
*Rokuneon - Secrets ([[Key to Vector Sigma]])
*Heptaneon - Wisdom ([[Golden Disk (Animated)|The Golden Disk]])
*Bahneon - Peace ([[Aquarius (SG)|Aquarius]])

==Fiction==

{{stub}}

==Notes==
*The names of the orbital cycles were originally introduced in ''[[Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II|The Allspark Almanac II]]'', and as such, most of them are some form of reference.
**Ferruneon is based on the Latin word for iron, ferrum, because, you know, Transformers are made out of metal.
**Navitaneon could be from the [[NAVI]] computers of the various [[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]] shows, or from the [[Titan]] [[Navitas]].
**Primaneon could be named after [[Prima]], [[Primus]], or [[Prime (disambiguation)|Prime]], but since it is associated with the Void in the Cybertronian Zodiac, it could also be named after [[Primacron]], the creator of [[Unicron]] in the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|G1 cartoon]].
**Chokoneon derives its name from [[Chōkon Power]], which is an energy source from the [[Transformers: Super-God Masterforce (franchise)|''Super-God Masterforce'']] series.
**Zetcaneon is named after the Masterforce Warrior, [[Zetca]], from the above series.
**Boltaneon receives its name from [[Boltax (G1)|Boltax]], the protector of the [[Underbase]].
**Rokuneon contains the word Roku, which is Japanese for six.
**Heptaneon comes from the Greek word hepta, meaning seven.
**Inrituneon and Bahneon get the short end of the stick as they don't appear to be based on something.
*When first named in ''The AllSpark Almanac II'', Zetcaneon was referred to as Zetca-, with the hyphen suggesting that it should have the same "neon" ending as the others, but there was nothing to confirm this was an error at the time. It was corrected in [[Transformers Animated: The Complete AllSpark Almanac|''The Complete AllSpark Almanac'']].
*While Rokuneon and Heptaneon's names would indicate that they should be the sixth and seventh orbital cycles, respectively, they are listed as the eighth and the ninth. This is similar to the Gregorian Calendar with what happened to September and the months that followed it.
