:''Killbison is a [[Decepticon]] [[Breastforce]] Warrior from the [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory (franchise)|Victory]] portion of the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Killbison.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|"Killbison". Right up there with "Murdercat", "Stabweasel", and "[[Eagle Killer]]" as a sensitive and thoughtfully considered name.]]
'''Killbison''' (キルバイソン ''Kirubaison'', aka '''Ironbison''') is the stereotypical violent jock of the Decepticon [[Breastforce]] team. He transforms into a double-barreled tank, and like all tanks, his barrels will either be (a) bent backwards (b) yanked at or (c) made useless once the first step has been completed. His [[Breast Animal]] partner is [[Bisonbreast]], a winged bull, who does not fly and is not red. This does not keep Killbison from joining with his fellow teammates to form [[Liokaiser]].

His hobbies include throwing knives at pictures conveniently hung on doors, and giving the finger every time he gets the spotlight.

(But does he kill bison? If he does, does he use every part, or does he destroy such magnificent beasts only for their tongues? Ah, the unanswered questions of life.)

Killbison came to Earth with [[Drillhorn (Victory)|Drillhorn]] and [[Jallguar]] to join their commanding officer [[Leozack]] in service of [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]]. He and the other Breastforce members mocked the [[Dinoforce]] during the mission brefing on the [[Thunder Arrow]]. Later he and the other Breastforce took part in attacking an energy plant in the desert. He and Jallguar attacked [[Star Saber (Victory)|Star Saber]] as the [[Autobot]] arrived but were forced to face the [[Brainmaster]]s. {{storylink|Unite!! Multiforce}}

The Breastforce traveled to planet [[Micro]], where they grilled Hellbat over the failure of his mission with [[Blue Bacchus]] and [[Black Shadow (Victory)|Black Shadow]]. The Breastforce's real intent was to attack the [[Planet Micro Satellite Penitentiary]] and rescue their old comrade [[Guyhawk]]. Storming the prison, Killbison and the rest of the Breastforce ended up fighting Star Saber while Hellbat retrieved Guyhawk. The Decepticons escaped as the prison sank into the lava. {{storylink|Rescue! Guyhawk}} Back on planet Micro, Killbison and the other Breastforce were told they had a new member named [[Deathcobra (Victory)|Deathcobra]] coming to replace Hellbat. A short time later, Hellbat reported that [[Holi]] had killed Deathcobra—in fact Hellbat had accidentally killed Deathcobra himself, while trying to persuade the newcomer that he wasn't needed—and Killbison believed the killing to be on Star Saber's orders. The Breastforce attacked Holi and then fought Star Saber, revealing their combined power as Liokaiser. Liokaiser was prevented from killing Star Saber when [[Ginrai (robot)|God Ginrai]] came to the rescue forcing them to separate and retreat. {{storylink|Unite! Liokaiser}}

{{charstubfiction|{{storylink|Battle Up of Wrath!!}} {{storylink|Fight to the Death!! Antarctic Battle}} {{storylink|Crisis! Ambush in the Desert}}}}

Guyhawk assembled the Breastforce without Leozack's knowledge to go after [[Sixshot (G1)|Greatshot]], but they instead ended up attacking the Autobots' Asian headquarters to draw Star Saber out. Once Star Saber had been knocked out of the sky, Killbison linked with the Breastforce to attack him as Liokaiser. {{storylink|A Deadly Battle}} While God Ginrai lay dying as a result of Deathsaurus's [[Living-Metal-Destroying Cannon]], Killbison and the Breastforce engaged Star Saber and the Brainmasters at a solar power station and managed to steal the energy there. {{storylink|Ginrai Dies!!}} They went on to attack the power station at [[Mount Asama]], only to be confronted by the mysterious new Autobot Victory Leo. When Leozack arrived, he had Killbison and Drillhorn leave the battle to continue stealing the energy. Victory Leo flattened them on the way to rescue Jan and Holi. {{storylink|Awaken! Victory Leo}}

After Deathsaurus used smart missiles to devastate a portion of Earth, Killbison took part in taking energy at Calcutta with Jallguar and Guyhawk, and the Autobots were powerless to stop them. {{storylink|The Tide Is Turned! The Ultimate Weapon, the Victory Unification}} After the plan's inevitable failure, Deathsaurus balled out the Breastforce, even though it had been his own fault. {{storylink|Jan - Defend the Campus!!}} During another plan, Leozack infiltrated the Autobot [[Rocket Base|Shuttle Base]] disguised as Star Saber, and Killbison and the rest of the Breastforce waited for him at nearby Incan ruins. When Victory Leo turned up as well, the Breastforce attempted to maintain the charade, but it was spoiled by the arrival of the real Star Saber. Though the Breastforce combined into Liokaiser, Star Saber and Victory Leo merged into Victory Saber and sent them packing. {{storylink|A Mystery?! The Deception of the Base Bombs}}

{{charstubfiction|{{storylink|The Death-Bringing Space Insects!!}}}}

During a plan to steal energy from [[Atlantis]], Killbison attacked Star Saber and Victory Leo to hold them off. The Breastforce again merged into Liokaiser and attacked Victory Saber but didn't do terribly well. Deathsaruas ordered them to retreat onto the ''Thunder Arrow'' as a tidal wave swept through the area. {{storylink|The Terror of the Giant Tidal Waves}}

After Deathsaurus resurrected his [[Planet-Destroying Fortress]], Killbison helped attack the Autobots then combined with the rest of the Breastforce into Liokaiser. The combiner attacked Victory Saber but was blasted back into the fortress in the first few seconds of the "fight". {{storylink|The Wrath of the Resurrected Giant Fortress!}} To keep the Autobots busy while the fortress's main cannon charged, Deathsaurus dispatched the Breastforce—combined as Liokaiser—to battle them. In the course of the clash, Victory Leo was able to blast Liokaiser into the fortress's cannon barrel, which drained the Decepticon's energy dry. With his consciousness fading and his body unable to move, Liokaiser could only utter a fading scream for help as he drifted off into the depths of space. {{storylink|Showdown!

As part of Liokaiser, Killbison was revived from death by some means. Lead by the reborn [[Emperor of Destruction|Dark Emperor]] [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]], 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. {{storylink|Fight!

Killbison was seen wisely hovering in the background when [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]] learned [[Leozack]] had disobeyed his orders and gone to Earth alone. {{storylink|Leozack's Rampage!}}

Killbison and the rest of Breastforce dramatically charged into battle against [[Star Saber (Victory)|Star Saber]], outnumbering him 4-to-1. He then mowed them all down with a single strike from his sword. Oops. {{storylink|Star Saber, Warrior of Love!}}

[[Liokaiser]] once tried to destroy Star Saber and [[Jan Minakaze|Jan]], but failed because the Breastforce lacked the proper spirit of cooperation. Killbison and the others argued internally over which of them would deliver the final blow, giving the Autobot Supreme Commander time to rally against them. {{storylink|Star of Friendship, Jan and Star Saber!}} On another occasion, the Breastforce fled the scene of a battle after Star Saber and [[Road Caesar]] forced Liokaiser to disengage. {{storylink|Shine, Five Stars of Victory}}

In the finale battle, the war came to an end after the Autobots discovered Killbison and the other Decepticons were only trying to defend and energize their civilian families and loved ones aboard the Stronghold. {{storylink|The Grand Victory War}}

**''Accessories'': Tank cannon, double-barreled gun (black), hand/foot/gun

:''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Ironbison (like Hellbat, renamed for ''obvious reasons'') is a [[redeco]] and new-head [[retool]]ing of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' [[Brawl (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Brawl]], transforming into a tank of indeterminate, probably-made-up model. His cannon-barrel can separate from the turret to become a hand-held weapon in robot mode. He also comes with a black redeco of ''Combiner Wars'' [[Air Raid (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Air Raid's]] double-barreled blaster.

: As a ''Combiner Wars'' Deluxe limb he can combine with any Voyager Class toys released as part of that subline or the ''Unite Warriors'' line, or form one of [[Godbomber#Legends|''Legends'' Godbomber's]] legs, but is of course intended to be combined with his pack-in [[Breastforce|Destron]]s and Deszarus to form Liokaiser. His nominal placement is as the right leg.

:Unlike the original Killbison toy, Ironbison is designed to have his leg mode facing forward as opposed to facing sideways. While it can be attached sideways to achieve a look similar to the original toy's design, doing so will rob the Combiner of its functional knees.

:''Hellbat is a [[Decepticon]] [[Breastforce]] warrior from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:Hellbat.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Member of the Ambitious Screwups Club.]]
Of all of [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]]'s warriors, '''Hellbat''' (ヘルバット ''Herubatto'', aka '''Fellbat''') is by far the most underhanded and maniacal. As a member of the elite [[Breastforce]] team, he thinks that he would be much better suited to lead the unit than his commanding officer, [[Leozack]], and he goes to any lengths that he can to prove it to Deathsaurus. Hellbat is a highly accomplished spy, regularly obtaining information that none of his fellow Decepticons are able to, and formulating any number of plans and schemes in his never-ending quest to climb the greasy ladder. He is also a sneak of the highest order, constantly talking behind his teammates' backs and spreading rumors, but he's not sneaky enough to prevent his fellow Decepticons from knowing what he gets up to. It is perhaps not surprising, then, to learn that nobody likes Hellbat, and that they trust him even less than that. In fact, his teammates would all be quite happy to kick him out of the Breastforce, if not for his strangely skilled silver tongue. Hellbat is usually able to talk just about anyone around to his way of thinking just long enough. He would genuinely go to any length to keep his position in the Breastforce ranks, although he'll usually come off as just plain pathetic in the process.

In [[robot mode]], Hellbat has one of the most useful special attacks among all the other Decepticons: with a chant of "Saimin, suimin, tōmin, Hellbat!",<ref>"睡眠、催眠、冬眠、ヘルバット!", a rhyme meaning "Hypnotism, sleep, hibernation, Hellbat!" in English.</ref> he can project mesmerizing waves of sonic energy that weaken his opponents, leaving them open to his influence-or his teammates' attacks. His breastplate, [[Kōmoribreast]], can detach and transform into either a bat-like robot mode (equipped with an energy-draining whip in its mouth), or the hand-held "Kōmori Cannon" blaster. Like his fellow Breastforce warriors, Hellbat is also armed with an [[Electromagnetic Nunchaku]].

So it's a pity, then, that he's kind of a schmuck.

Hellbat can merge with his Breastforce teammates into [[Liokaiser]], forming the left arm of the super robot.

[[File:Hellbat hypnotism.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|"Hypnosis, slumber, hibernation, HELLBAT!"]]
Hellbat was summoned by Leozack to join the Breastforce on Earth after they had already waged several battles against [[Star Saber (Victory)|Star Saber]]'s [[Autobot]]s. For his first mission, Hellbat snuck into the [[New Energy Resource Research and Development Laboratory]] in [[Japan]], where he deployed his Kōmoribreast to download information from the lab's computers. Discovered by one of the scientist, Hellbat knocked out the Autobot and [[human]] troops that attacked him and fled. He soon met back up with the rest of the Breastforce, and was chastised for being unable to keep his actions a secret by Leozack, who then decided to simply steal the entire contents of the lab. In the battle that ensued, Hellbat faced off against [[Blacker]], but the brawny Autobot overcame the Decepticon's hypnotic waves by ''stabbing himself in his own leg''. The Decepticons were ultimately repelled by a brainwave-scrambler invented by [[Braver]], and when Leozack was chewed out by Deathsaurus for the team's failure, Hellbat silently observed the whole affair, deciding that he would be a much better leader than Leozack was. {{storylink|The New Warrior - Hellbat}}

[[File:Leozack and hellbat.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|Oh, come on, give me money for the roller coaster.]]
Hellbat immediately set about currying Deathsaurus's favour, gathering information on an energy shipment leaving from a spaceport in Nevada. Leozack was enraged when Hellbat went over his head with the information and took it directly to Deathsaurus, but Hellbat won him around by appealing to his own desire to see Deathsaurus dethroned, explaining that they could take the energy for themselves. To their credit, they were able to abscond with the energy, but when Star Saber appeared to chase them down, Hellbat was shot out of the sky and decided to let Leozack fend for himself while Hellbat made plans to blame the whole debacle on his commander. {{storylink|Attack the Shuttle Base!!}}

After joining in on the Breastforce's attempt to ransom [[Marine City]] with a [[neutron bomb]], {{storylink|Tanker Hijack Operation}} Hellbat put another scheme of his own to work. While the Breastforce kept most of the Autobots busy in a battle over a fleet of oil tankers, Hellbat invaded the under-staffed [[Rocket Base|Shuttle Base]] and tried to steal information from its computers. When he tripped an alarm, Hellbat simply snatched a random computer disk and tried to flee, but when his way was barred by [[Galaxy Shuttle]], he kidnapped [[Jan Minakaze]] and [[Holi]] to ensure his safe getaway. The Autobots soon tracked him down to the temporary base he and the [[Dinoforce]] were using and rescued Holi and Jan, but Hellbat passed the buck, blaming Leozack and [[Goryu (Victory)|Goryu]] for the bungled mission. Hellbat still had the computer disk to give to Deathsaurus, but unfortunately for him, it turned out that all he had stolen was Jan's homework. {{storylink|Rescue Jan!!}}

[[File:Hellbat tree trouble.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.3]]
When Autobots [[Mach (Victory)|Mach]] and [[Tackle]] discovered a Breastforce scheme to tap hydroelectric power in Canada, Hellbat didn't fare very well in the ensuing chase, and wound up being lured into the nearby forest and entangled in a cluster of trees. {{storylink|Mach and Tackle}} Soon after, Hellbat participated in the Decepticons' plan to captured spacecraft in the asteroid belt. {{storylink|A Fierce Battle!! The Asteroid}}

[[File:Hellbat crossformers.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|Schmucks.]]
A little later, the Breastforce departed Earth for planet [[Micro]], intending to spring the sixth member of their team, [[Guyhawk]], from the [[Planet Micro Satellite Penitentiary|Satellite Penitentiary]] on the planet's moon, so that they could combine to form the giant robot, Liokaiser. Before that mission got underway, however, the enterprising Hellbat decided to launch a series of raids on several of Micro's major energy-gathering facilities. Hiring the mercenaries [[Black Shadow (Victory)|Black Shadow]] and [[Blue Bacchus]] to aid him, Hellbat soon found he had to triple their cut to keep them on the job when Star Saber turned up to stop them. Rather than risk fighting Star Saber, Hellbat decided to cut his losses and blow up the plasma energy plant they were stealing from, but a parting shot from [[Sixshot (G1)|Greatshot]] destroyed what little energy he had already been able to steal, leaving him unable to pay the furious mercenaries. {{storylink|Planet Micro - The Mysterious Warrior}} Upon returning to the ''[[Thunder Arrow]]'' after this mission, Hellbat was met with threats of violence by the rest of the Breastforce, who were not impressed with his sneaking around behind their backs. Hellbat calmed his teammates by claiming that the energy he had tried to steal would have been intended for the whole team's personal use. The argument settled, the team set about their original goal, and attacked the Satellite Penitentiary to free Guyhawk. While the rest of the team held off Star Saber and his Autobots, Hellbat ventured into the prison to locate Guyhawk, only to have the object of his search be the one to find him, right when he was in the middle of ruminating on what effect the addition of Guyhawk to the Breastforce would have on his standing. Over-compensating to cover up his scheming, Hellbat met Guyhawk with hugs and kisses, and helped him recharge his energy from the prison's main supply. A battle between Guyhawk and Greatshot subsequently erupted, which sent the prison up in flames, forcing Hellbat to transform to jet mode and join Leozack in carrying their non-flying comrades to safety. {{storylink|Rescue! Guyhawk}}

[[File:Hellbat kills deathcobra.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.3|Oh, this'll bite me in the ass.]]
When Leozack did not invite Hellbat to the meeting to welcome Guyhawk back to the fold, he panicked, listened in on the conversation, and was horrified to discover that they were planning to kick him out of the team and replace him with an old comrade of Leozack's named [[Deathcobra (Victory)|Deathcobra]], who was already on his way to the planet. Hellbat intercepted Deathcobra before he reached the ''Thunder Arrow'', and petitioned him to simply leave, so that he could remain on the team. Deathcobra, however, was disgusted by Hellbat's cowardly request and swatted him out of the way, forcing Hellbat to draw his gun on him. Deathcobra dared Hellbat to pull the trigger, and to Hellbat's own surprise, he actually did, prompting a firefight between the two. Even as Hellbat squealed that it was an accident, he managed to unintentionally land a fatal shot on Deathcobra, killing him outright. Spotting the Autobot Micromaster [[Holi]] watching from a nearby ridge, Hellbat sped back to the ''Thunder Arrow'' and blamed Deathcobra's untimely end on him, then led the rest of the Breastforce in a "retaliatory" attack. In the battle that followed, Hellbat and the Breastforce combined into Liokaiser for the first time and actually defeated Star Saber. {{storylink|Unite! Liokaiser}}

[[File:Victoryleo vs breastforce.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|We're wearing him down, lads!]]
Not long after the Breastforce returned to Earth, Hellbat discovered the existence of the [[Schaeffer Energy]] plant in America, and the Breastforce led the charge in raiding it. {{storylink|Battle Up of Wrath!!}} After this, Hellbat let his own schemes and plans take a back seat for a while, and was content to simply participate in a series of missions without any of his typical backstabbing: drilling oil in Antarctica; {{storylink|Fight to the Death!! Antarctic Battle}} ambushing the [[Brainmaster]]s in the desert; {{storylink|Crisis! Ambush in the Desert}} aiding Deathsaurus in laying a trap for Star Saber; {{storylink|A Deadly Battle}} and raiding energy from a solar power plant. {{storylink|Ginrai Dies!!}}

After this temporary bout of restraint, Hellbat started looking out for number one again when he had his Kōmoribreast sneak into the Shuttle Base on an information gathering mission, which led him to learn of the apparent death of God Ginrai. He took this report to Deathsaurus, and also informed his emperor of another discovery he had made: the existence of a large energy stockpile in America. He, Leozack and the Dinoforce proceeded to attack a tractor trailer delivering a load of energy to this stockpile, but were easily defeated by the reborn Ginrai, who had been recreated as Victory Leo. {{storylink|Fight!! Victory Leo}} When Victory Leo again roared into battle to thwart the Breastforce's attempt to pillage the Mount Asama geothermal energy plant, Hellbat was in no rush to confront the feral Autobot, but he didn't have any compunctions about chasing the helpless Jan Minakaze through the plant's corridors and locking him in the exploding building. {{storylink|Awaken! Victory Leo}}

[[File:Victory33 hellbatdorya.jpg|left|thumb]]
When Leozack tried posing as Star Saber in order to infiltrate the Shuttle Base and steal information on the Autobot leader's ability to combine with Victory Leo, Hellbat helped complete the illusion by broadcasting a fake message to the Autobots, demanding that "Star Saber" bring the relevant computer disk to him or he would blow their base up with hidden bombs. {{storylink|A Mystery?! The Deception of the Base Bombs}} After the failure of that plan, Hellbat was next dispatched to a jungle planet somewhere in the depths of space to search for the metal-eating [[Doriya]] insects, which he had previously heard about while visiting [[Planet X (Victory)|Planet X]]. His hatred of the wilderness notwithstanding, Hellbat successfully retrieved the insects and brought them back to Earth and helped unleash them against the Autobots, but the scheme turned sour when the heroic robots discovered that intense cold could defeat the little metal-munchers. In the chaos that followed, Hellbat wound up spilling the insects all over himself, and ran off screaming. {{storylink|The Death-Bringing Space Insects!!}}

[[File:Victory35 falconpunch.jpg|thumb]]
Hellbat's final plot was his grandest: he actually succeeded in locating the lost continent of [[Atlantis]] and its massive supply of energy, and took the information straight to Deathsaurus. This proved to be the last straw for Leozack, who gave Hellbat a ferocious beating, until Hellbat revealed what he had told Deathsaurus: raise the continent and use its energy to recharge Deathsaurus's [[Planet-Destroying Fortress]]. {{storylink|The Terror of the Giant Tidal Waves}} The plan succeeded, and with this Atlantean energy in their clutches, the Breastforce and Deathsaurus departed for space, heading right for the fortress. The Autobots pursued the villains, but were unable to stop them from bringing the fortress back online. {{storylink|The Wrath of the Resurrected Giant Fortress!}} To keep the Autobots busy while the fortress's main cannon charged, Deathsaurus dispatched the Breastforce—combined as Liokaiser—to battle them. In the course of the clash, Victory Leo was able to blast Liokaiser into the fortress's cannon barrel, which drained his energy dry. With his consciousness fading and his body unable to move, Liokaiser could only utter a fading scream for help as he drifted off into the depths of space. {{storylink|Showdown!

As part of Liokaiser, Hellbat was revived from death by some means. Lead by the reborn [[Emperor of Destruction|Dark Emperor]] [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]], 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. {{storylink|Fight!

Hellbat debuted silently, standing behind Guyhawk as he informed Deathsaurus that Leozack had gone off on a solo mission, foolishly believing that he could conquer Earth on his own. {{storylink|Leozack's Rampage!}}

Hellbat and the rest of Breastforce dramatically charged into battle against [[Star Saber (Victory)|Star Saber]], outnumbering him 4-to-1. Star Saber mowed them all down with a single strike from his sword. {{storylink|Star Saber, Warrior of Love!}}

Later, Hellbat and the other Breastforcers combined into Liokaiser to battle Star Saber on [[Energy Planet X]]. When the combiner warrior managed to seize Star Saber, his individual components began arguing over who would get right to destroy the Autobot leader; Hellbat believed he was the one who should be allowed to "switch them off". Star Saber exploited the opening to turn the battle around, and Liokaiser was defeated and escaped. {{storylink|Star of Friendship, Jan and Star Saber!}} In their next battle with Star Saber, the Breastforce almost had him defeated thanks to the aid of Deathsaurus and Dinoking, but the tables were turned when Star Saber merged with new arrival Victory Leo, to form Victory Saber. {{storylink|The Strongest Pair, the Combination of Victory!}}

In their next battle, Liokaiser and Deathsaurus were defeated by the Autobots' "Five Stars of Victory" attack technique, and Liokaiser split back into Guyhawk and the rest of the Breastforce to flee back to Deathsaurus's "Space Stronghold". {{storylink|Shine, Five Stars of Victory}} From the stronghold, the Decepticons began a final attack on Earth, bombarding the planet with meteors, but the Autobots succeeded in thwarting their scheme, despite a bit of attempted treachery courtesy of Leozack. At the battle's end, Deathsaurus revealed that the fortress was home to the Decepticon civilians, and that they had been fighting to keep them safe. Struck by this revelation, Star Saber decided that it was time for the Autobots and Decepticons to lay down their arms, and live in peace—the truest victory of all! {{storylink|The Grand Victory War}}

Hellbat was part of [[Banzai-Tron (G1)|Banzai-Tron]]'s squad of Decepticons sent to [[Beta-Nine]] to retrieve some valuable cargo from the crashed ''[[Van De Graaff]]''. Hellbat, Banzai and [[Guyhawk]] had the young [[Kup (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Kup]] cornered, but Hellbat's hypnotism ability drew the impressionable young bot out. Lucky for the Autobot, a hungry aquatic monster decided to try and make a snack out of Hellbat, breaking the spell and distracting the other two Decepticons long enough for Kup to run for it. {{storylink|Wings of Honor}}

Of course, millions of years later, Kup's recollection of these events were a little... different.

Acting as [[Megatron (RID)|Gigatron]]'s second-in-command, Hellbat was disillusioned by millions of years of unending war and came to the conclusion that destruction was the reason Cybertronians existed. Accepting this role in the universe with gusto, he began planning to fulfill his race's destiny by killing all other living beings.

He mercilessly mocked Grit for being found with the Autobots, calling him a traitor and an unworthy Decepticon; Grit took this as a deadly insult and headbutted him in the face.

He allowed Drift and Ratchet to find the army before sharing with them his philosophy and plans, only for his evil monologue to be interrupted by an attack by the vengeful Grit. In the battle that followed, a pressed Hellbat chose to make his move, activating his Stone Army soldiers and sending them to destroy Gigatron. {{storylink|Drift - Empire of Stone issue 3|Empire of Stone #3}}

Gigatron teamed up with Drift and company and fought his way to Hellbat, who unleashed a gigantic stone soldier he'd prepared specifically to destroy his leader. He taunted Drift with Grit's apparent death and their own similarities, believing them both to be heartless killers, but his goading proved ineffective when Drift, touting his belief that people can change, ripped the Stone Army's control device off his arm. When Drift was distracted by Gigatron turning on him, however, Hellbat retrieved the device and used it to send all remaining soldiers after Gigatron, all while goading his leader to kill him. Gigatron waded through the stone soldiers and obligingly cut the deranged Decepticon in half as he stood motionless, welcoming death. {{storylink|Drift - Empire of Stone issue 4|Empire of Stone #4}}

:''Hellbat is a [[Decepticon]] [[Breastforce]] warrior from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:Hellbat.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Member of the Ambitious Screwups Club.]]
Of all of [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]]'s warriors, '''Hellbat''' (ヘルバット ''Herubatto'', aka '''Fellbat''') is by far the most underhanded and maniacal. As a member of the elite [[Breastforce]] team, he thinks that he would be much better suited to lead the unit than his commanding officer, [[Leozack]], and he goes to any lengths that he can to prove it to Deathsaurus. Hellbat is a highly accomplished spy, regularly obtaining information that none of his fellow Decepticons are able to, and formulating any number of plans and schemes in his never-ending quest to climb the greasy ladder. He is also a sneak of the highest order, constantly talking behind his teammates' backs and spreading rumors, but he's not sneaky enough to prevent his fellow Decepticons from knowing what he gets up to. It is perhaps not surprising, then, to learn that nobody likes Hellbat, and that they trust him even less than that. In fact, his teammates would all be quite happy to kick him out of the Breastforce, if not for his strangely skilled silver tongue. Hellbat is usually able to talk just about anyone around to his way of thinking just long enough. He would genuinely go to any length to keep his position in the Breastforce ranks, although he'll usually come off as just plain pathetic in the process.

In [[robot mode]], Hellbat has one of the most useful special attacks among all the other Decepticons: with a chant of "Saimin, suimin, tōmin, Hellbat!",<ref>"睡眠、催眠、冬眠、ヘルバット!", a rhyme meaning "Hypnotism, sleep, hibernation, Hellbat!" in English.</ref> he can project mesmerizing waves of sonic energy that weaken his opponents, leaving them open to his influence-or his teammates' attacks. His breastplate, [[Kōmoribreast]], can detach and transform into either a bat-like robot mode (equipped with an energy-draining whip in its mouth), or the hand-held "Kōmori Cannon" blaster. Like his fellow Breastforce warriors, Hellbat is also armed with an [[Electromagnetic Nunchaku]].

So it's a pity, then, that he's kind of a schmuck.

Hellbat can merge with his Breastforce teammates into [[Liokaiser]], forming the left arm of the super robot.

==Fiction==
===Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
====''Victory'' cartoon====
{{voiceactor|[[Yoku Shioya]] (Japanese)}}
[[File:Hellbat hypnotism.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.4|"Hypnosis, slumber, hibernation, HELLBAT!"]]
Hellbat was summoned by Leozack to join the Breastforce on Earth after they had already waged several battles against [[Star Saber (Victory)|Star Saber]]'s [[Autobot]]s. For his first mission, Hellbat snuck into the [[New Energy Resource Research and Development Laboratory]] in [[Japan]], where he deployed his Kōmoribreast to download information from the lab's computers. Discovered by one of the scientist, Hellbat knocked out the Autobot and [[human]] troops that attacked him and fled. He soon met back up with the rest of the Breastforce, and was chastised for being unable to keep his actions a secret by Leozack, who then decided to simply steal the entire contents of the lab. In the battle that ensued, Hellbat faced off against [[Blacker]], but the brawny Autobot overcame the Decepticon's hypnotic waves by ''stabbing himself in his own leg''. The Decepticons were ultimately repelled by a brainwave-scrambler invented by [[Braver]], and when Leozack was chewed out by Deathsaurus for the team's failure, Hellbat silently observed the whole affair, deciding that he would be a much better leader than Leozack was. {{storylink|The New Warrior - Hellbat}}

[[File:Leozack and hellbat.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|Oh, come on, give me money for the roller coaster.]]
Hellbat immediately set about currying Deathsaurus's favour, gathering information on an energy shipment leaving from a spaceport in Nevada. Leozack was enraged when Hellbat went over his head with the information and took it directly to Deathsaurus, but Hellbat won him around by appealing to his own desire to see Deathsaurus dethroned, explaining that they could take the energy for themselves. To their credit, they were able to abscond with the energy, but when Star Saber appeared to chase them down, Hellbat was shot out of the sky and decided to let Leozack fend for himself while Hellbat made plans to blame the whole debacle on his commander. {{storylink|Attack the Shuttle Base!!}}

After joining in on the Breastforce's attempt to ransom [[Marine City]] with a [[neutron bomb]], {{storylink|Tanker Hijack Operation}} Hellbat put another scheme of his own to work. While the Breastforce kept most of the Autobots busy in a battle over a fleet of oil tankers, Hellbat invaded the under-staffed [[Rocket Base|Shuttle Base]] and tried to steal information from its computers. When he tripped an alarm, Hellbat simply snatched a random computer disk and tried to flee, but when his way was barred by [[Galaxy Shuttle]], he kidnapped [[Jan Minakaze]] and [[Holi]] to ensure his safe getaway. The Autobots soon tracked him down to the temporary base he and the [[Dinoforce]] were using and rescued Holi and Jan, but Hellbat passed the buck, blaming Leozack and [[Goryu (Victory)|Goryu]] for the bungled mission. Hellbat still had the computer disk to give to Deathsaurus, but unfortunately for him, it turned out that all he had stolen was Jan's homework. {{storylink|Rescue Jan!!}}

[[File:Hellbat tree trouble.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.3]]
When Autobots [[Mach (Victory)|Mach]] and [[Tackle]] discovered a Breastforce scheme to tap hydroelectric power in Canada, Hellbat didn't fare very well in the ensuing chase, and wound up being lured into the nearby forest and entangled in a cluster of trees. {{storylink|Mach and Tackle}} Soon after, Hellbat participated in the Decepticons' plan to captured spacecraft in the asteroid belt. {{storylink|A Fierce Battle!! The Asteroid}}

[[File:Hellbat crossformers.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|Schmucks.]]
A little later, the Breastforce departed Earth for planet [[Micro]], intending to spring the sixth member of their team, [[Guyhawk]], from the [[Planet Micro Satellite Penitentiary|Satellite Penitentiary]] on the planet's moon, so that they could combine to form the giant robot, Liokaiser. Before that mission got underway, however, the enterprising Hellbat decided to launch a series of raids on several of Micro's major energy-gathering facilities. Hiring the mercenaries [[Black Shadow (Victory)|Black Shadow]] and [[Blue Bacchus]] to aid him, Hellbat soon found he had to triple their cut to keep them on the job when Star Saber turned up to stop them. Rather than risk fighting Star Saber, Hellbat decided to cut his losses and blow up the plasma energy plant they were stealing from, but a parting shot from [[Sixshot (G1)|Greatshot]] destroyed what little energy he had already been able to steal, leaving him unable to pay the furious mercenaries. {{storylink|Planet Micro - The Mysterious Warrior}} Upon returning to the ''[[Thunder Arrow]]'' after this mission, Hellbat was met with threats of violence by the rest of the Breastforce, who were not impressed with his sneaking around behind their backs. Hellbat calmed his teammates by claiming that the energy he had tried to steal would have been intended for the whole team's personal use. The argument settled, the team set about their original goal, and attacked the Satellite Penitentiary to free Guyhawk. While the rest of the team held off Star Saber and his Autobots, Hellbat ventured into the prison to locate Guyhawk, only to have the object of his search be the one to find him, right when he was in the middle of ruminating on what effect the addition of Guyhawk to the Breastforce would have on his standing. Over-compensating to cover up his scheming, Hellbat met Guyhawk with hugs and kisses, and helped him recharge his energy from the prison's main supply. A battle between Guyhawk and Greatshot subsequently erupted, which sent the prison up in flames, forcing Hellbat to transform to jet mode and join Leozack in carrying their non-flying comrades to safety. {{storylink|Rescue! Guyhawk}}

[[File:Hellbat kills deathcobra.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.3|Oh, this'll bite me in the ass.]]
When Leozack did not invite Hellbat to the meeting to welcome Guyhawk back to the fold, he panicked, listened in on the conversation, and was horrified to discover that they were planning to kick him out of the team and replace him with an old comrade of Leozack's named [[Deathcobra (Victory)|Deathcobra]], who was already on his way to the planet. Hellbat intercepted Deathcobra before he reached the ''Thunder Arrow'', and petitioned him to simply leave, so that he could remain on the team. Deathcobra, however, was disgusted by Hellbat's cowardly request and swatted him out of the way, forcing Hellbat to draw his gun on him. Deathcobra dared Hellbat to pull the trigger, and to Hellbat's own surprise, he actually did, prompting a firefight between the two. Even as Hellbat squealed that it was an accident, he managed to unintentionally land a fatal shot on Deathcobra, killing him outright. Spotting the Autobot Micromaster [[Holi]] watching from a nearby ridge, Hellbat sped back to the ''Thunder Arrow'' and blamed Deathcobra's untimely end on him, then led the rest of the Breastforce in a "retaliatory" attack. In the battle that followed, Hellbat and the Breastforce combined into Liokaiser for the first time and actually defeated Star Saber. {{storylink|Unite! Liokaiser}}

[[File:Victoryleo vs breastforce.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|We're wearing him down, lads!]]
Not long after the Breastforce returned to Earth, Hellbat discovered the existence of the [[Schaeffer Energy]] plant in America, and the Breastforce led the charge in raiding it. {{storylink|Battle Up of Wrath!!}} After this, Hellbat let his own schemes and plans take a back seat for a while, and was content to simply participate in a series of missions without any of his typical backstabbing: drilling oil in Antarctica; {{storylink|Fight to the Death!! Antarctic Battle}} ambushing the [[Brainmaster]]s in the desert; {{storylink|Crisis! Ambush in the Desert}} aiding Deathsaurus in laying a trap for Star Saber; {{storylink|A Deadly Battle}} and raiding energy from a solar power plant. {{storylink|Ginrai Dies!!}}

After this temporary bout of restraint, Hellbat started looking out for number one again when he had his Kōmoribreast sneak into the Shuttle Base on an information gathering mission, which led him to learn of the apparent death of God Ginrai. He took this report to Deathsaurus, and also informed his emperor of another discovery he had made: the existence of a large energy stockpile in America. He, Leozack and the Dinoforce proceeded to attack a tractor trailer delivering a load of energy to this stockpile, but were easily defeated by the reborn Ginrai, who had been recreated as Victory Leo. {{storylink|Fight!! Victory Leo}} When Victory Leo again roared into battle to thwart the Breastforce's attempt to pillage the Mount Asama geothermal energy plant, Hellbat was in no rush to confront the feral Autobot, but he didn't have any compunctions about chasing the helpless Jan Minakaze through the plant's corridors and locking him in the exploding building. {{storylink|Awaken! Victory Leo}}

[[File:Victory33 hellbatdorya.jpg|left|thumb]]
When Leozack tried posing as Star Saber in order to infiltrate the Shuttle Base and steal information on the Autobot leader's ability to combine with Victory Leo, Hellbat helped complete the illusion by broadcasting a fake message to the Autobots, demanding that "Star Saber" bring the relevant computer disk to him or he would blow their base up with hidden bombs. {{storylink|A Mystery?! The Deception of the Base Bombs}} After the failure of that plan, Hellbat was next dispatched to a jungle planet somewhere in the depths of space to search for the metal-eating [[Doriya]] insects, which he had previously heard about while visiting [[Planet X (Victory)|Planet X]]. His hatred of the wilderness notwithstanding, Hellbat successfully retrieved the insects and brought them back to Earth and helped unleash them against the Autobots, but the scheme turned sour when the heroic robots discovered that intense cold could defeat the little metal-munchers. In the chaos that followed, Hellbat wound up spilling the insects all over himself, and ran off screaming. {{storylink|The Death-Bringing Space Insects!!}}

[[File:Victory35 falconpunch.jpg|thumb]]
Hellbat's final plot was his grandest: he actually succeeded in locating the lost continent of [[Atlantis]] and its massive supply of energy, and took the information straight to Deathsaurus. This proved to be the last straw for Leozack, who gave Hellbat a ferocious beating, until Hellbat revealed what he had told Deathsaurus: raise the continent and use its energy to recharge Deathsaurus's [[Planet-Destroying Fortress]]. {{storylink|The Terror of the Giant Tidal Waves}} The plan succeeded, and with this Atlantean energy in their clutches, the Breastforce and Deathsaurus departed for space, heading right for the fortress. The Autobots pursued the villains, but were unable to stop them from bringing the fortress back online. {{storylink|The Wrath of the Resurrected Giant Fortress!}} To keep the Autobots busy while the fortress's main cannon charged, Deathsaurus dispatched the Breastforce—combined as Liokaiser—to battle them. In the course of the clash, Victory Leo was able to blast Liokaiser into the fortress's cannon barrel, which drained his energy dry. With his consciousness fading and his body unable to move, Liokaiser could only utter a fading scream for help as he drifted off into the depths of space. {{storylink|Showdown! The Fortress vs the Victory Unification}}

{{charstubfiction|{{storylink|Jan - Defend the Campus!!}}}}

====''Zone'' catalog====
As part of Liokaiser, Hellbat was revived from death by some means. Lead by the reborn [[Emperor of Destruction|Dark Emperor]] [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]], 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. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Zone (story page)#Catalogue story page 1|Zone Project Story}}

===''Victory'' comic===
Hellbat debuted silently, standing behind Guyhawk as he informed Deathsaurus that Leozack had gone off on a solo mission, foolishly believing that he could conquer Earth on his own. {{storylink|Leozack's Rampage!}}

Hellbat and the rest of Breastforce dramatically charged into battle against [[Star Saber (Victory)|Star Saber]], outnumbering him 4-to-1. Star Saber mowed them all down with a single strike from his sword. {{storylink|Star Saber, Warrior of Love!}}

Later, Hellbat and the other Breastforcers combined into Liokaiser to battle Star Saber on [[Energy Planet X]]. When the combiner warrior managed to seize Star Saber, his individual components began arguing over who would get right to destroy the Autobot leader; Hellbat believed he was the one who should be allowed to "switch them off". Star Saber exploited the opening to turn the battle around, and Liokaiser was defeated and escaped. {{storylink|Star of Friendship, Jan and Star Saber!}} In their next battle with Star Saber, the Breastforce almost had him defeated thanks to the aid of Deathsaurus and Dinoking, but the tables were turned when Star Saber merged with new arrival Victory Leo, to form Victory Saber. {{storylink|The Strongest Pair, the Combination of Victory!}}

In their next battle, Liokaiser and Deathsaurus were defeated by the Autobots' "Five Stars of Victory" attack technique, and Liokaiser split back into Guyhawk and the rest of the Breastforce to flee back to Deathsaurus's "Space Stronghold". {{storylink|Shine, Five Stars of Victory}} From the stronghold, the Decepticons began a final attack on Earth, bombarding the planet with meteors, but the Autobots succeeded in thwarting their scheme, despite a bit of attempted treachery courtesy of Leozack. At the battle's end, Deathsaurus revealed that the fortress was home to the Decepticon civilians, and that they had been fighting to keep them safe. Struck by this revelation, Star Saber decided that it was time for the Autobots and Decepticons to lay down their arms, and live in peace—the truest victory of all! {{storylink|The Grand Victory War}}

[[File:WOH Hellbat.jpg|thumb]]
Hellbat was part of [[Banzai-Tron (G1)|Banzai-Tron]]'s squad of Decepticons sent to [[Beta-Nine]] to retrieve some valuable cargo from the crashed ''[[Van De Graaff]]''. Hellbat, Banzai and [[Guyhawk]] had the young [[Kup (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Kup]] cornered, but Hellbat's hypnotism ability drew the impressionable young bot out. Lucky for the Autobot, a hungry aquatic monster decided to try and make a snack out of Hellbat, breaking the spell and distracting the other two Decepticons long enough for Kup to run for it. {{storylink|Wings of Honor}}

Of course, millions of years later, Kup's recollection of these events were a little... different.

Acting as [[Megatron (RID)|Gigatron]]'s second-in-command, Hellbat was disillusioned by millions of years of unending war and came to the conclusion that destruction was the reason Cybertronians existed. Accepting this role in the universe with gusto, he began planning to fulfill his race's destiny by killing all other living beings.

{{faction|decepticon}}
:''Guyhawk is a [[Decepticon]] [[Breastforce]] warrior from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''
[[File:Guyhawk.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|"Hawk, Guyhawk."]]

'''Guyhawk''' (ガイホーク ''Gaihōku'', aka '''Gaihawk''') is one of the founding members of [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]]'s [[Breastforce]]. Cold and somber, Guyhawk hates those who claim to have "character" and perfect principles, and as such, he really loathes Autobots of all shapes and sizes. In particular, [[Sixshot (G1)|Greatshot]] really ruffles his feathers; Guyhawk used to work with him on the mercenary circuit, and for him to see his old partner in crime turn to the side of the angels is nothing short of sickening. Guyhawk doesn't practise what he preaches, though; despite his hatred of the pretence of perfection in others, he always tries to make ''himself'' come off as perfect. He boasts about his skills, he's always the first into battle and the last to leave, he hates it when he is defeated, and he will always pass the buck if he gets blamed for something.

In [[alternate mode|jet mode]], Guyhawk's speed exceeds even that of his commanding officer, [[Leozack]]. He is capable of unleashing a hellish storm of laser fire from above, rendering even the toughest of enemies to piles of smoldering ash. In [[robot mode]] he wields the power of the "Ice Needle", an attack which allows him to fire an onslaught of daggers forged from super-cooled plasma from his hands, capable of tearing through even the toughest of metals. His chest plate, [[Hawkbreast]], can detach and transform into a hawk-like attack partner or the handheld "Hawk Cannon" blaster. Like his fellow Breastforcers, Guyhawk is also armed with an [[Electromagnetic Nunchaku]].

Guyhawk can combine with his Breastforce teammates to form [[Liokaiser]], forming the right arm of the super robot.

[[File:Gaihawk in prison.jpg|left|upright=1.15|thumb|"Aren't you a little short for a Stormtrooper?"]]

Some time before [[Star Saber (Victory)|Star Saber]] assumed command of the [[Autobot]] forces, the Autobot hero apprehended Guyhawk and had him sentenced to imprisonment on the [[Planet Micro Satellite Penitentiary]]. Separated from his Hawkbreast, Guyhawk was put to work with other prisoners, gathering energy from the moon's rivers of magma. Guyhawk made no friends or alliances within the ranks of prisoners, caring nothing for any of them; once, when one hapless convict fell into a lava river and was able to grab onto Guyhawk's leg as he was swept past him, Guyhawk ignored his pleas to be pulled to safety, and kicked him off, sending him spiraling off to his molten doom.

[[File:Gaihawk vs greatshot.jpg|thumb|225px|DULL DRAMATIC SHOOTING.]]

In 2025, Guyhawk's old Breastforce comrades came to planet [[Micro]] with the intention of liberating him, so that they could once again merge into the giant robot, Liokaiser, and defeat Star Saber. When the Breastforce attacked the penitentiary, the [[Satellite Penitentiary personnel|prison staff]], realizing their objective, attempted to transfer Guyhawk to a safer location. Unfortunately for the guards transferring him, the sneaky Decepticon had concealed a blade, and slashed his way through their ranks to freedom. Making his way through the prison corridors, he soon came upon fellow Breastforcer [[Hellbat (Victory)|Hellbat]], who was in the process of searching for him. Hellbat cheerfully greeted him, but Guyhawk threw him aside and demanded he take him to the prison's energy room. Using the stockpiled energy, Guyhawk recharged himself to full power and freed his Hawkbreast from the cage in which it had been kept. Seconds later, Guyhawk was confronted by Greatshot, who had been ordered into the prison by Star Saber, but Guyhawk was unaware that his old friend had joined the Autobots, and reacted with disgust when Hellbat informed him of this fact. Old friend or not, Guyhawk had no compunctions about engaging in a firefight with Greatshot, which culminated in a face-off on the walkway above the prison's magma vat. Impaling Greatshot with his Ice Needle attack. Guyhawk sent his foe tumbling towards the lava, but could not stick around to see the job finished as the prison began exploding around them. {{storylink|Rescue! Guyhawk}}

[[File:Gaihawk huggles.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1|Wanna make out?]]

Leozack soon called a meeting to formally welcome Guyhawk back into the ranks of the Breastforce, during which Guyhawk was warmly received by all the assembled members. When a surprised Guyhawk asked why Hellbat was absent, Leozack explained that he was completely untrustworthy, and that he had already arranged to replace Hellbat with another old comrade, [[Deathcobra (Victory)|Deathcobra]]. Soon, however, Hellbat arrived with the news that the Autobots had killed Deathcobra. In actuality, Hellbat had accidentally killed Deathcobra himself when he had attempted to persuade him to leave so that he could keep his place on the team, but he blamed the death on the Autobot [[Holi]], and led the other unaware Breastforcers in a "retaliatory" attack. During the fight, Guyhawk got the chance to deliver the killing shot to Holi, but his Hawkbreast was suddenly blasted from his hand by the dramatic arrival of Star Saber. Relishing the chance for revenge against the Autobot who had imprisoned him, Guyhawk combined with the rest of the Breastforce combined into Liokaiser for the first time in years, and together, they were actually able to defeat Star Saber in combat. {{storylink|Unite! Liokaiser}} The team then returned to [[Earth]], where Deathsaurus heaped praise upon Guyhawk, frustrating Leozack to no end. {{storylink|Battle Up of Wrath!!}}

[[File:Gaihawk iceneedle.jpg|thumb|Must resist urge... to... take... out of... context.]]

Guyhawk joined the Breastforce in numerous subsequently missions, raiding energy from America's [[Schaeffer Energy]] plant {{storylink|Battle Up of Wrath!!}} and [[Antarctica]]'s subterranean oil wells, {{storylink|Fight to the Death!! Antarctic Battle}} and ambushing the Autobot [[Brainmaster]]s in the desert. During the latter mission, Guyhawk distinguished himself by using the power of his Ice Needle to damage the combiner [[Road Caesar]] so badly that he was forced to disengage, but he lost his composure when Greatshot appeared on the scene, and he immediately took to the air in pursuit of revenge against his traitorous old friend. The arrival of Star Saber forced the villains to retreat, much to Guyhawk's chagrin. {{storylink|Crisis! Ambush in the Desert}}

Eager to hunt Greatshot down, Guyhawk assembled the Breastforce to aid him in the search, and clashed with Leozack, who was furious that his subordinate has superseded his authority for so trivial a goal. Fortunately, before the two could come to blows, Deathsaurus gave the Breastforce a new mission: join him in ambushing Star Saber in Asia. {{storylink|A Deadly Battle}} While Star Saber survived the ambush, [[Ginrai (robot)|God Ginrai]] was fatally wounded, and the Decepticons capitalized upon the Autobots' reduced manpower by increasing the frequency of their attacks. Guyhawk joined the Breastforce in pillaging energy from a solar power station {{storylink|Ginrai Dies!!}} then later helped attack the [[Mount Asama]] geothermal power plant, only to be shot out of the sky by Victory Leo, the reborn form of God Ginrai. {{storylink|Awaken! Victory Leo}}

[[File:Gaihawk jetmode.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.15|Finally some sky he's camouflaged against!]]

When Deathsaurus used the threat of orbital missile bombardment to keep the Autobots at bay, Guyhawk, [[Jallguar]] and [[Killbison]] were able to freely steal energy, pausing only in their evil deeds to mock the helpless Autobots who were watching. Deathsaurus's plan was foiled when Star Saber fused for the first time with Victory Leo into Victory Saber and bested him in combat. {{storylink|The Tide Is Turned! The Ultimate Weapon, the Victory Unification}} Guyhawk and the Breastforce later went up against Victory Saber as Liokaiser, but were likewise defeated. {{storylink|A Mystery?!

Soon after, Guyhawk helped unleash the metal-eating [[Doriya]] insects upon the Autobots, {{storylink|The Death-Bringing Space Insects!!}} then went on to participate in the Decepticons' theft of energy from the ancient continent of [[Atlantis]]. {{storylink|The Terror of the Giant Tidal Waves}} With this Atlantean energy in their clutches, the Breastforce and Deathsaurus headed into space about the ''Thunder Arrow'', planning to use the stolen energy to recharge Deathsaurus's [[Planet-Destroying Fortress]]. The Autobots pursued the villains, but were unable to stop them from bringing the fortress back online. {{storylink|The Wrath of the Resurrected Giant Fortress!}} To keep the Autobots busy while the fortress's main cannon charged, Deathsaurus dispatched the Breastforce—combined as Liokaiser—to battle them. In the course of the clash, Victory Leo was able to blast Liokaiser into the fortress's cannon barrel, which drained his energy dry. With his consciousness fading and his body unable to move, Liokaiser could only utter a fading scream for help as he drifted off into the depths of space. {{storylink|Showdown!

[[File:Guyhawk.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|"Hawk, Guyhawk."]]

'''Guyhawk''' (ガイホーク ''Gaihōku'', aka '''Gaihawk''') is one of the founding members of [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]]'s [[Breastforce]]. Cold and somber, Guyhawk hates those who claim to have "character" and perfect principles, and as such, he really loathes Autobots of all shapes and sizes. In particular, [[Sixshot (G1)|Greatshot]] really ruffles his feathers; Guyhawk used to work with him on the mercenary circuit, and for him to see his old partner in crime turn to the side of the angels is nothing short of sickening. Guyhawk doesn't practise what he preaches, though; despite his hatred of the pretence of perfection in others, he always tries to make ''himself'' come off as perfect. He boasts about his skills, he's always the first into battle and the last to leave, he hates it when he is defeated, and he will always pass the buck if he gets blamed for something.

In [[alternate mode|jet mode]], Guyhawk's speed exceeds even that of his commanding officer, [[Leozack]]. He is capable of unleashing a hellish storm of laser fire from above, rendering even the toughest of enemies to piles of smoldering ash. In [[robot mode]] he wields the power of the "Ice Needle", an attack which allows him to fire an onslaught of daggers forged from super-cooled plasma from his hands, capable of tearing through even the toughest of metals. His chest plate, [[Hawkbreast]], can detach and transform into a hawk-like attack partner or the handheld "Hawk Cannon" blaster. Like his fellow Breastforcers, Guyhawk is also armed with an [[Electromagnetic Nunchaku]].

Guyhawk can combine with his Breastforce teammates to form [[Liokaiser]], forming the right arm of the super robot.

:''Guyhawk is a [[Decepticon]] [[Breastforce]] warrior from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''
[[File:Guyhawk.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|"Hawk, Guyhawk."]]

'''Guyhawk''' (ガイホーク ''Gaihōku'', aka '''Gaihawk''') is one of the founding members of [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]]'s [[Breastforce]]. Cold and somber, Guyhawk hates those who claim to have "character" and perfect principles, and as such, he really loathes Autobots of all shapes and sizes. In particular, [[Sixshot (G1)|Greatshot]] really ruffles his feathers; Guyhawk used to work with him on the mercenary circuit, and for him to see his old partner in crime turn to the side of the angels is nothing short of sickening. Guyhawk doesn't practise what he preaches, though; despite his hatred of the pretence of perfection in others, he always tries to make ''himself'' come off as perfect. He boasts about his skills, he's always the first into battle and the last to leave, he hates it when he is defeated, and he will always pass the buck if he gets blamed for something.

In [[alternate mode|jet mode]], Guyhawk's speed exceeds even that of his commanding officer, [[Leozack]]. He is capable of unleashing a hellish storm of laser fire from above, rendering even the toughest of enemies to piles of smoldering ash. In [[robot mode]] he wields the power of the "Ice Needle", an attack which allows him to fire an onslaught of daggers forged from super-cooled plasma from his hands, capable of tearing through even the toughest of metals. His chest plate, [[Hawkbreast]], can detach and transform into a hawk-like attack partner or the handheld "Hawk Cannon" blaster. Like his fellow Breastforcers, Guyhawk is also armed with an [[Electromagnetic Nunchaku]].

Guyhawk can combine with his Breastforce teammates to form [[Liokaiser]], forming the right arm of the super robot.

[[File:Gaihawk in prison.jpg|left|upright=1.15|thumb|"Aren't you a little short for a Stormtrooper?"]]

Some time before [[Star Saber (Victory)|Star Saber]] assumed command of the [[Autobot]] forces, the Autobot hero apprehended Guyhawk and had him sentenced to imprisonment on the [[Planet Micro Satellite Penitentiary]]. Separated from his Hawkbreast, Guyhawk was put to work with other prisoners, gathering energy from the moon's rivers of magma. Guyhawk made no friends or alliances within the ranks of prisoners, caring nothing for any of them; once, when one hapless convict fell into a lava river and was able to grab onto Guyhawk's leg as he was swept past him, Guyhawk ignored his pleas to be pulled to safety, and kicked him off, sending him spiraling off to his molten doom.

[[File:Gaihawk vs greatshot.jpg|thumb|225px|DULL DRAMATIC SHOOTING.]]

In 2025, Guyhawk's old Breastforce comrades came to planet [[Micro]] with the intention of liberating him, so that they could once again merge into the giant robot, Liokaiser, and defeat Star Saber. When the Breastforce attacked the penitentiary, the [[Satellite Penitentiary personnel|prison staff]], realizing their objective, attempted to transfer Guyhawk to a safer location. Unfortunately for the guards transferring him, the sneaky Decepticon had concealed a blade, and slashed his way through their ranks to freedom. Making his way through the prison corridors, he soon came upon fellow Breastforcer [[Hellbat (Victory)|Hellbat]], who was in the process of searching for him. Hellbat cheerfully greeted him, but Guyhawk threw him aside and demanded he take him to the prison's energy room. Using the stockpiled energy, Guyhawk recharged himself to full power and freed his Hawkbreast from the cage in which it had been kept. Seconds later, Guyhawk was confronted by Greatshot, who had been ordered into the prison by Star Saber, but Guyhawk was unaware that his old friend had joined the Autobots, and reacted with disgust when Hellbat informed him of this fact. Old friend or not, Guyhawk had no compunctions about engaging in a firefight with Greatshot, which culminated in a face-off on the walkway above the prison's magma vat. Impaling Greatshot with his Ice Needle attack. Guyhawk sent his foe tumbling towards the lava, but could not stick around to see the job finished as the prison began exploding around them. {{storylink|Rescue! Guyhawk}}

[[File:Gaihawk huggles.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1|Wanna make out?]]

Leozack soon called a meeting to formally welcome Guyhawk back into the ranks of the Breastforce, during which Guyhawk was warmly received by all the assembled members. When a surprised Guyhawk asked why Hellbat was absent, Leozack explained that he was completely untrustworthy, and that he had already arranged to replace Hellbat with another old comrade, [[Deathcobra (Victory)|Deathcobra]]. Soon, however, Hellbat arrived with the news that the Autobots had killed Deathcobra. In actuality, Hellbat had accidentally killed Deathcobra himself when he had attempted to persuade him to leave so that he could keep his place on the team, but he blamed the death on the Autobot [[Holi]], and led the other unaware Breastforcers in a "retaliatory" attack. During the fight, Guyhawk got the chance to deliver the killing shot to Holi, but his Hawkbreast was suddenly blasted from his hand by the dramatic arrival of Star Saber. Relishing the chance for revenge against the Autobot who had imprisoned him, Guyhawk combined with the rest of the Breastforce combined into Liokaiser for the first time in years, and together, they were actually able to defeat Star Saber in combat. {{storylink|Unite! Liokaiser}} The team then returned to [[Earth]], where Deathsaurus heaped praise upon Guyhawk, frustrating Leozack to no end. {{storylink|Battle Up of Wrath!!}}

[[File:Gaihawk iceneedle.jpg|thumb|Must resist urge... to... take... out of... context.]]

Guyhawk joined the Breastforce in numerous subsequently missions, raiding energy from America's [[Schaeffer Energy]] plant {{storylink|Battle Up of Wrath!!}} and [[Antarctica]]'s subterranean oil wells, {{storylink|Fight to the Death!! Antarctic Battle}} and ambushing the Autobot [[Brainmaster]]s in the desert. During the latter mission, Guyhawk distinguished himself by using the power of his Ice Needle to damage the combiner [[Road Caesar]] so badly that he was forced to disengage, but he lost his composure when Greatshot appeared on the scene, and he immediately took to the air in pursuit of revenge against his traitorous old friend. The arrival of Star Saber forced the villains to retreat, much to Guyhawk's chagrin. {{storylink|Crisis! Ambush in the Desert}}

Eager to hunt Greatshot down, Guyhawk assembled the Breastforce to aid him in the search, and clashed with Leozack, who was furious that his subordinate has superseded his authority for so trivial a goal. Fortunately, before the two could come to blows, Deathsaurus gave the Breastforce a new mission: join him in ambushing Star Saber in Asia. {{storylink|A Deadly Battle}} While Star Saber survived the ambush, [[Ginrai (robot)|God Ginrai]] was fatally wounded, and the Decepticons capitalized upon the Autobots' reduced manpower by increasing the frequency of their attacks. Guyhawk joined the Breastforce in pillaging energy from a solar power station {{storylink|Ginrai Dies!!}} then later helped attack the [[Mount Asama]] geothermal power plant, only to be shot out of the sky by Victory Leo, the reborn form of God Ginrai. {{storylink|Awaken! Victory Leo}}

[[File:Gaihawk jetmode.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.15|Finally some sky he's camouflaged against!]]

When Deathsaurus used the threat of orbital missile bombardment to keep the Autobots at bay, Guyhawk, [[Jallguar]] and [[Killbison]] were able to freely steal energy, pausing only in their evil deeds to mock the helpless Autobots who were watching. Deathsaurus's plan was foiled when Star Saber fused for the first time with Victory Leo into Victory Saber and bested him in combat. {{storylink|The Tide Is Turned! The Ultimate Weapon, the Victory Unification}} Guyhawk and the Breastforce later went up against Victory Saber as Liokaiser, but were likewise defeated. {{storylink|A Mystery?! The Deception of the Base Bombs}}

Soon after, Guyhawk helped unleash the metal-eating [[Doriya]] insects upon the Autobots, {{storylink|The Death-Bringing Space Insects!!}} then went on to participate in the Decepticons' theft of energy from the ancient continent of [[Atlantis]]. {{storylink|The Terror of the Giant Tidal Waves}} With this Atlantean energy in their clutches, the Breastforce and Deathsaurus headed into space about the ''Thunder Arrow'', planning to use the stolen energy to recharge Deathsaurus's [[Planet-Destroying Fortress]]. The Autobots pursued the villains, but were unable to stop them from bringing the fortress back online. {{storylink|The Wrath of the Resurrected Giant Fortress!}} To keep the Autobots busy while the fortress's main cannon charged, Deathsaurus dispatched the Breastforce—combined as Liokaiser—to battle them. In the course of the clash, Victory Leo was able to blast Liokaiser into the fortress's cannon barrel, which drained his energy dry. With his consciousness fading and his body unable to move, Liokaiser could only utter a fading scream for help as he drifted off into the depths of space. {{storylink|Showdown!

Later, Guyhawk and the other Breastforcers combined into Liokaiser to battle Star Saber on [[Energy Planet X]]. When the combiner warrior managed to seize Star Saber, his individual components began arguing over who would get right to destroy the Autobot leader; "the Great Guyhawk" believed he had earned the right to do the deed. Star Saber exploited the opening to turn the battle around, and Liokaiser was defeated and escaped. {{storylink|Star of Friendship, Jan and Star Saber!}} In their next battle with Star Saber, the Breastforce almost had him defeated thanks to the aid of Deathsaurus and Dinoking, but the tables were turned when Star Saber merged with new arrival Victory Leo, to form Victory Saber. {{storylink|The Strongest Pair, the Combination of Victory!}}

At the battle's end, Deathsaurus revealed that the fortress was home to the Decepticon civilians, and that they had been fighting to keep them safe.

Their captive was able to escape, and Guyhawk and [[Banzai-Tron (G1)|Banzai-Tron]] chased after him.

They eventually caught up with him, only to get tossed aside when their [[Thunder Clash|captive's commander]] came barreling through. Guyhawk then managed to recover from ''that''... only to get blown out of commission when Banzai-Tron was tricked into accepting a rigged container from the Autobots.

When Deathsaurus used the threat of orbital missile bombardment to keep the Autobots at bay, Guyhawk, [[Jallguar]] and [[Killbison]] were able to freely steal energy, pausing only in their evil deeds to mock the helpless Autobots who were watching. Deathsaurus's plan was foiled when Star Saber fused for the first time with Victory Leo into Victory Saber and bested him in combat. {{storylink|The Tide Is Turned! The Ultimate Weapon, the Victory Unification}} Guyhawk and the Breastforce later went up against Victory Saber as Liokaiser, but were likewise defeated. {{storylink|A Mystery?! The Deception of the Base Bombs}}

Soon after, Guyhawk helped unleash the metal-eating [[Doriya]] insects upon the Autobots, {{storylink|The Death-Bringing Space Insects!!}} then went on to participate in the Decepticons' theft of energy from the ancient continent of [[Atlantis]]. {{storylink|The Terror of the Giant Tidal Waves}} With this Atlantean energy in their clutches, the Breastforce and Deathsaurus headed into space about the ''Thunder Arrow'', planning to use the stolen energy to recharge Deathsaurus's [[Planet-Destroying Fortress]]. The Autobots pursued the villains, but were unable to stop them from bringing the fortress back online. {{storylink|The Wrath of the Resurrected Giant Fortress!}} To keep the Autobots busy while the fortress's main cannon charged, Deathsaurus dispatched the Breastforce—combined as Liokaiser—to battle them. In the course of the clash, Victory Leo was able to blast Liokaiser into the fortress's cannon barrel, which drained his energy dry. With his consciousness fading and his body unable to move, Liokaiser could only utter a fading scream for help as he drifted off into the depths of space. {{storylink|Showdown!

Guyhawk debuted at the feet of Deathsaurus, as he knelt to inform his emperor that Leozack had gone off on a solo mission, foolishly believing that he could conquer Earth on his own. {{storylink|Leozack's Rampage!}} After Leozack was defeated by Star Saber, Guyhawk and the rest of the Breastforce took the Autobot leader on, only to be taken out by a single slash of his Saber Blade. {{storylink|Star Saber, Warrior of Love!}}

Later, Guyhawk and the other Breastforcers combined into Liokaiser to battle Star Saber on [[Energy Planet X]]. When the combiner warrior managed to seize Star Saber, his individual components began arguing over who would get right to destroy the Autobot leader; "the Great Guyhawk" believed he had earned the right to do the deed. Star Saber exploited the opening to turn the battle around, and Liokaiser was defeated and escaped. {{storylink|Star of Friendship, Jan and Star Saber!}} In their next battle with Star Saber, the Breastforce almost had him defeated thanks to the aid of Deathsaurus and Dinoking, but the tables were turned when Star Saber merged with new arrival Victory Leo, to form Victory Saber. {{storylink|The Strongest Pair, the Combination of Victory!}}

In their next battle, Liokaiser and Deathsaurus were defeated by the Autobots' "Five Stars of Victory" attack technique, and Liokaiser split back into Guyhawk and the rest of the Breastforce to flee back to Deathsaurus's "Space Stronghold". {{storylink|Shine, Five Stars of Victory}} From the stronghold, the Decepticons began a final attack on Earth, bombarding the planet with meteors, but the Autobots succeeded in thwarting their scheme, despite a bit of attempted treachery courtesy of Leozack. At the battle's end, Deathsaurus revealed that the fortress was home to the Decepticon civilians, and that they had been fighting to keep them safe. Struck by this revelation, Star Saber decided that it was time for the Autobots and Decepticons to lay down their arms, and live in peace—the truest victory of all! {{storylink|The Grand Victory War}}

:''Killbison is a [[Decepticon]] [[Breastforce]] Warrior from the [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory (franchise)|Victory]] portion of the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Killbison.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|"Killbison". Right up there with "Murdercat", "Stabweasel", and "[[Eagle Killer]]" as a sensitive and thoughtfully considered name.]]
'''Killbison''' (キルバイソン ''Kirubaison'', aka '''Ironbison''') is the stereotypical violent jock of the Decepticon [[Breastforce]] team. He transforms into a double-barreled tank, and like all tanks, his barrels will either be (a) bent backwards (b) yanked at or (c) made useless once the first step has been completed. His [[Breast Animal]] partner is [[Bisonbreast]], a winged bull, who does not fly and is not red. This does not keep Killbison from joining with his fellow teammates to form [[Liokaiser]].

His hobbies include throwing knives at pictures conveniently hung on doors, and giving the finger every time he gets the spotlight.

(But does he kill bison? If he does, does he use every part, or does he destroy such magnificent beasts only for their tongues? Ah, the unanswered questions of life.)

Killbison came to Earth with [[Drillhorn (Victory)|Drillhorn]] and [[Jallguar]] to join their commanding officer [[Leozack]] in service of [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]]. He and the other Breastforce members mocked the [[Dinoforce]] during the mission brefing on the [[Thunder Arrow]]. Later he and the other Breastforce took part in attacking an energy plant in the desert. He and Jallguar attacked [[Star Saber (Victory)|Star Saber]] as the [[Autobot]] arrived but were forced to face the [[Brainmaster]]s. {{storylink|Unite!! Multiforce}}

{{charstubfiction|{{storylink|Infiltration... The Uranium Mine}} {{storylink|Big City - Underground Terror}} {{storylink|The New Warrior - Hellbat}} {{storylink|Attack the Shuttle Base!!}} {{storylink|Tanker Hijack Operation}} {{storylink|Rescue Jan!!}} Killbison once showed his middle finger before facing [[Machtackle|Tacklemach]], but was confused by his unfamiliarity with the Autobot (as he was more accustomed to the inverse fusion [[Machtackle]]) and his confusion allowed for his defeat. {{storylink|Mach and Tackle}} {{storylink|A Fierce Battle!! The Asteroid}}}}

[[File:KillbisonBird.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Stay classy, Killbison.]]
The Breastforce traveled to planet [[Micro]], where they grilled Hellbat over the failure of his mission with [[Blue Bacchus]] and [[Black Shadow (Victory)|Black Shadow]]. The Breastforce's real intent was to attack the [[Planet Micro Satellite Penitentiary]] and rescue their old comrade [[Guyhawk]]. Storming the prison, Killbison and the rest of the Breastforce ended up fighting Star Saber while Hellbat retrieved Guyhawk. The Decepticons escaped as the prison sank into the lava. {{storylink|Rescue! Guyhawk}} Back on planet Micro, Killbison and the other Breastforce were told they had a new member named [[Deathcobra (Victory)|Deathcobra]] coming to replace Hellbat. A short time later, Hellbat reported that [[Holi]] had killed Deathcobra—in fact Hellbat had accidentally killed Deathcobra himself, while trying to persuade the newcomer that he wasn't needed—and Killbison believed the killing to be on Star Saber's orders. The Breastforce attacked Holi and then fought Star Saber, revealing their combined power as Liokaiser. Liokaiser was prevented from killing Star Saber when [[Ginrai (robot)|God Ginrai]] came to the rescue forcing them to separate and retreat. {{storylink|Unite! Liokaiser}}

{{charstubfiction|{{storylink|Battle Up of Wrath!!}} {{storylink|Fight to the Death!! Antarctic Battle}} {{storylink|Crisis! Ambush in the Desert}}}}

Guyhawk assembled the Breastforce without Leozack's knowledge to go after [[Sixshot (G1)|Greatshot]], but they instead ended up attacking the Autobots' Asian headquarters to draw Star Saber out. Once Star Saber had been knocked out of the sky, Killbison linked with the Breastforce to attack him as Liokaiser. {{storylink|A Deadly Battle}} While God Ginrai lay dying as a result of Deathsaurus's [[Living-Metal-Destroying Cannon]], Killbison and the Breastforce engaged Star Saber and the Brainmasters at a solar power station and managed to steal the energy there. {{storylink|Ginrai Dies!!}} They went on to attack the power station at [[Mount Asama]], only to be confronted by the mysterious new Autobot Victory Leo. When Leozack arrived, he had Killbison and Drillhorn leave the battle to continue stealing the energy. Victory Leo flattened them on the way to rescue Jan and Holi. {{storylink|Awaken! Victory Leo}}

After Deathsaurus used smart missiles to devastate a portion of Earth, Killbison took part in taking energy at Calcutta with Jallguar and Guyhawk, and the Autobots were powerless to stop them. {{storylink|The Tide Is Turned! The Ultimate Weapon, the Victory Unification}} After the plan's inevitable failure, Deathsaurus balled out the Breastforce, even though it had been his own fault. {{storylink|Jan - Defend the Campus!!}} During another plan, Leozack infiltrated the Autobot [[Rocket Base|Shuttle Base]] disguised as Star Saber, and Killbison and the rest of the Breastforce waited for him at nearby Incan ruins. When Victory Leo turned up as well, the Breastforce attempted to maintain the charade, but it was spoiled by the arrival of the real Star Saber. Though the Breastforce combined into Liokaiser, Star Saber and Victory Leo merged into Victory Saber and sent them packing. {{storylink|A Mystery?! The Deception of the Base Bombs}}

{{charstubfiction|{{storylink|The Death-Bringing Space Insects!!}}}}

During a plan to steal energy from [[Atlantis]], Killbison attacked Star Saber and Victory Leo to hold them off. The Breastforce again merged into Liokaiser and attacked Victory Saber but didn't do terribly well. Deathsaruas ordered them to retreat onto the ''Thunder Arrow'' as a tidal wave swept through the area. {{storylink|The Terror of the Giant Tidal Waves}}

After Deathsaurus resurrected his [[Planet-Destroying Fortress]], Killbison helped attack the Autobots then combined with the rest of the Breastforce into Liokaiser. The combiner attacked Victory Saber but was blasted back into the fortress in the first few seconds of the "fight". {{storylink|The Wrath of the Resurrected Giant Fortress!}} To keep the Autobots busy while the fortress's main cannon charged, Deathsaurus dispatched the Breastforce—combined as Liokaiser—to battle them. In the course of the clash, Victory Leo was able to blast Liokaiser into the fortress's cannon barrel, which drained the Decepticon's energy dry. With his consciousness fading and his body unable to move, Liokaiser could only utter a fading scream for help as he drifted off into the depths of space. {{storylink|Showdown!

[[File:Drillhorn.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|He was [[Pat Lee|reaching for your purse]] before reaching for your purse was cool.]]

'''Drillhorn''' (ドリルホーン ''Doriruhōn'') is the veteran strategist amongst the [[Breastforce]] group. He is very knowledgeable and very tough... and can be ''quite'' opinionated, to the point of being stupidly bull-headed. His adherence to past battle experiences can often leave him unprepared for unexpected changes in the battlefield.

Drillhorn is accompanied by his [[Breast Animal]] partner, [[Hornbreast]], a robotic rhino that can transform into either his chestplate or a hand-held blaster. Like his fellow Breastforce warriors, he is also armed with an [[Electromagnetic Nunchaku]].

Drillhorn can also combine with his Breastforce teammates to form [[Liokaiser]], becoming the left leg of the super robot.

[[File:Drillhorn.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|He was [[Pat Lee|reaching for your purse]] before reaching for your purse was cool.]]

'''Drillhorn''' (ドリルホーン ''Doriruhōn'') is the veteran strategist amongst the [[Breastforce]] group. He is very knowledgeable and very tough... and can be ''quite'' opinionated, to the point of being stupidly bull-headed. His adherence to past battle experiences can often leave him unprepared for unexpected changes in the battlefield.

Drillhorn is accompanied by his [[Breast Animal]] partner, [[Hornbreast]], a robotic rhino that can transform into either his chestplate or a hand-held blaster. Like his fellow Breastforce warriors, he is also armed with an [[Electromagnetic Nunchaku]].

Drillhorn can also combine with his Breastforce teammates to form [[Liokaiser]], becoming the left leg of the super robot.

{{factions|decepticon}}
:''Killbison is a [[Decepticon]] [[Breastforce]] Warrior from the [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory (franchise)|Victory]] portion of the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Killbison.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|"Killbison". Right up there with "Murdercat", "Stabweasel", and "[[Eagle Killer]]" as a sensitive and thoughtfully considered name.]]
'''Killbison''' (キルバイソン ''Kirubaison'', aka '''Ironbison''') is the stereotypical violent jock of the Decepticon [[Breastforce]] team. He transforms into a double-barreled tank, and like all tanks, his barrels will either be (a) bent backwards (b) yanked at or (c) made useless once the first step has been completed. His [[Breast Animal]] partner is [[Bisonbreast]], a winged bull, who does not fly and is not red. This does not keep Killbison from joining with his fellow teammates to form [[Liokaiser]].

His hobbies include throwing knives at pictures conveniently hung on doors, and giving the finger every time he gets the spotlight.

(But does he kill bison? If he does, does he use every part, or does he destroy such magnificent beasts only for their tongues? Ah, the unanswered questions of life.)

==Fiction==
===Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity===

{{voiceactor|[[Kazumi Tanaka]] (Japanese)|[[John Culkin]] (English, Omni Productions dub)}}
[[File:BigCityTerror Blacker vs Killbison.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|left]]
Killbison came to Earth with [[Drillhorn (Victory)|Drillhorn]] and [[Jallguar]] to join their commanding officer [[Leozack]] in service of [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]]. He and the other Breastforce members mocked the [[Dinoforce]] during the mission brefing on the [[Thunder Arrow]]. Later he and the other Breastforce took part in attacking an energy plant in the desert. He and Jallguar attacked [[Star Saber (Victory)|Star Saber]] as the [[Autobot]] arrived but were forced to face the [[Brainmaster]]s. {{storylink|Unite!! Multiforce}}

{{charstubfiction|{{storylink|Infiltration... The Uranium Mine}} {{storylink|Big City - Underground Terror}} {{storylink|The New Warrior - Hellbat}} {{storylink|Attack the Shuttle Base!!}} {{storylink|Tanker Hijack Operation}} {{storylink|Rescue Jan!!}} Killbison once showed his middle finger before facing [[Machtackle|Tacklemach]], but was confused by his unfamiliarity with the Autobot (as he was more accustomed to the inverse fusion [[Machtackle]]) and his confusion allowed for his defeat. {{storylink|Mach and Tackle}} {{storylink|A Fierce Battle!! The Asteroid}}}}

[[File:KillbisonBird.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Stay classy, Killbison.]]
The Breastforce traveled to planet [[Micro]], where they grilled Hellbat over the failure of his mission with [[Blue Bacchus]] and [[Black Shadow (Victory)|Black Shadow]]. The Breastforce's real intent was to attack the [[Planet Micro Satellite Penitentiary]] and rescue their old comrade [[Guyhawk]]. Storming the prison, Killbison and the rest of the Breastforce ended up fighting Star Saber while Hellbat retrieved Guyhawk. The Decepticons escaped as the prison sank into the lava. {{storylink|Rescue! Guyhawk}} Back on planet Micro, Killbison and the other Breastforce were told they had a new member named [[Deathcobra (Victory)|Deathcobra]] coming to replace Hellbat. A short time later, Hellbat reported that [[Holi]] had killed Deathcobra—in fact Hellbat had accidentally killed Deathcobra himself, while trying to persuade the newcomer that he wasn't needed—and Killbison believed the killing to be on Star Saber's orders. The Breastforce attacked Holi and then fought Star Saber, revealing their combined power as Liokaiser. Liokaiser was prevented from killing Star Saber when [[Ginrai (robot)|God Ginrai]] came to the rescue forcing them to separate and retreat. {{storylink|Unite! Liokaiser}}

{{charstubfiction|{{storylink|Battle Up of Wrath!!}} {{storylink|Fight to the Death!! Antarctic Battle}} {{storylink|Crisis! Ambush in the Desert}}}}

Guyhawk assembled the Breastforce without Leozack's knowledge to go after [[Sixshot (G1)|Greatshot]], but they instead ended up attacking the Autobots' Asian headquarters to draw Star Saber out. Once Star Saber had been knocked out of the sky, Killbison linked with the Breastforce to attack him as Liokaiser. {{storylink|A Deadly Battle}} While God Ginrai lay dying as a result of Deathsaurus's [[Living-Metal-Destroying Cannon]], Killbison and the Breastforce engaged Star Saber and the Brainmasters at a solar power station and managed to steal the energy there. {{storylink|Ginrai Dies!!}} They went on to attack the power station at [[Mount Asama]], only to be confronted by the mysterious new Autobot Victory Leo. When Leozack arrived, he had Killbison and Drillhorn leave the battle to continue stealing the energy. Victory Leo flattened them on the way to rescue Jan and Holi. {{storylink|Awaken! Victory Leo}}

After Deathsaurus used smart missiles to devastate a portion of Earth, Killbison took part in taking energy at Calcutta with Jallguar and Guyhawk, and the Autobots were powerless to stop them. {{storylink|The Tide Is Turned! The Ultimate Weapon, the Victory Unification}} After the plan's inevitable failure, Deathsaurus balled out the Breastforce, even though it had been his own fault. {{storylink|Jan - Defend the Campus!!}} During another plan, Leozack infiltrated the Autobot [[Rocket Base|Shuttle Base]] disguised as Star Saber, and Killbison and the rest of the Breastforce waited for him at nearby Incan ruins. When Victory Leo turned up as well, the Breastforce attempted to maintain the charade, but it was spoiled by the arrival of the real Star Saber. Though the Breastforce combined into Liokaiser, Star Saber and Victory Leo merged into Victory Saber and sent them packing. {{storylink|A Mystery?! The Deception of the Base Bombs}}

{{charstubfiction|{{storylink|The Death-Bringing Space Insects!!}}}}

During a plan to steal energy from [[Atlantis]], Killbison attacked Star Saber and Victory Leo to hold them off. The Breastforce again merged into Liokaiser and attacked Victory Saber but didn't do terribly well. Deathsaruas ordered them to retreat onto the ''Thunder Arrow'' as a tidal wave swept through the area. {{storylink|The Terror of the Giant Tidal Waves}}

After Deathsaurus resurrected his [[Planet-Destroying Fortress]], Killbison helped attack the Autobots then combined with the rest of the Breastforce into Liokaiser. The combiner attacked Victory Saber but was blasted back into the fortress in the first few seconds of the "fight". {{storylink|The Wrath of the Resurrected Giant Fortress!}} To keep the Autobots busy while the fortress's main cannon charged, Deathsaurus dispatched the Breastforce—combined as Liokaiser—to battle them. In the course of the clash, Victory Leo was able to blast Liokaiser into the fortress's cannon barrel, which drained the Decepticon's energy dry. With his consciousness fading and his body unable to move, Liokaiser could only utter a fading scream for help as he drifted off into the depths of space. {{storylink|Showdown!

====''Zone'' catalog====
As part of Liokaiser, Killbison was revived from death by some means. Lead by the reborn [[Emperor of Destruction|Dark Emperor]] [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]], 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. {{storylink|Fight!

Killbison was seen wisely hovering in the background when [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]] learned [[Leozack]] had disobeyed his orders and gone to Earth alone. {{storylink|Leozack's Rampage!}}

Killbison and the rest of Breastforce dramatically charged into battle against [[Star Saber (Victory)|Star Saber]], outnumbering him 4-to-1. He then mowed them all down with a single strike from his sword. Oops. {{storylink|Star Saber, Warrior of Love!}}

[[Liokaiser]] once tried to destroy Star Saber and [[Jan Minakaze|Jan]], but failed because the Breastforce lacked the proper spirit of cooperation. Killbison and the others argued internally over which of them would deliver the final blow, giving the Autobot Supreme Commander time to rally against them. {{storylink|Star of Friendship, Jan and Star Saber!}} On another occasion, the Breastforce fled the scene of a battle after Star Saber and [[Road Caesar]] forced Liokaiser to disengage. {{storylink|Shine, Five Stars of Victory}}

In the finale battle, the war came to an end after the Autobots discovered Killbison and the other Decepticons were only trying to defend and energize their civilian families and loved ones aboard the Stronghold. {{storylink|The Grand Victory War}}

**''Accessories'': Tank cannon, double-barreled gun (black), hand/foot/gun

:''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Ironbison (like Hellbat, renamed for ''obvious reasons'') is a [[redeco]] and new-head [[retool]]ing of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' [[Brawl (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Brawl]], transforming into a tank of indeterminate, probably-made-up model. His cannon-barrel can separate from the turret to become a hand-held weapon in robot mode. He also comes with a black redeco of ''Combiner Wars'' [[Air Raid (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Air Raid's]] double-barreled blaster.

: As a ''Combiner Wars'' Deluxe limb he can combine with any Voyager Class toys released as part of that subline or the ''Unite Warriors'' line, or form one of [[Godbomber#Legends|''Legends'' Godbomber's]] legs, but is of course intended to be combined with his pack-in [[Breastforce|Destron]]s and Deszarus to form Liokaiser. His nominal placement is as the right leg.

:Unlike the original Killbison toy, Ironbison is designed to have his leg mode facing forward as opposed to facing sideways. While it can be attached sideways to achieve a look similar to the original toy's design, doing so will rob the Combiner of its functional knees.

:Ironbison was only available as part of a boxed [[Liokaiser#Generations|Liokaiser]] [[giftset]], the only ''Combiner Wars'' "Collection Pack" that's [[co-branding|co-branded]] as part of the ''[[Transformers: Platinum Edition|Platinum Edition]]'' range. In the United States, this set was officially exclusive to online retailer Entertainment Earth, but was also stocked by competitor [[BigBadToyStore]], which obtained its stock through Asian vendors. In Hasbro's Asian markets such as Hong Kong and Singapore, it was available at general retail. Additionally, it was also sold at Ripley stores in Chile and at Myer stores in Australia, whereas in Canada, it was available via the Canadian [[Walmart]] website, but never sold in stores.

'''Through the sacrifice of one of their comrades, the Autobots are given the means to fight back... and Megatron takes up arms once more.'''

==Synopsis==
On the blasted ground outside the [[Mortilus|Necrobot]]'s fortress, the [[Autobot]]s tear into the [[Decepticon Justice Division]] and their allies with fire and fervor. As [[Swerve (G1)|Swerve]] and [[Rewind (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Rewind]] man laser turrets built into the shoulders of [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ultra Magnus]]'s new "Maximus Ambus" armor, Rewind tries to tell Magnus of the recent discovery he made about [[Dominus Ambus|his brother]], but the battle has all of Magnus's attention. [[Cyclonus (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Cyclonus]] swoops in low to bear down on [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]], but the [[Decepticon]] sadist punches him into the ground. [[Chromedome (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Chromedome]] blasts Overlord in the face to draw his attention away, and the grinning monster proceeds to describe in grisly detail how he dismembered the original Rewind before Chromedome blew up the cell containing them both. Chromedome screams a scream of passion and rage, and hurls a punch at Overlord... a punch of such freakish strength that it lifts Overlord off the ground and sends him flying backward! As [[Nickel]] proceeds to shoot Chromedome in the arm with [[Vos (DJD)|Vos]]'s rifle mode, [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]] observes that the Autobots are fighting with unprecedented strength. [[Tarn (DJD)|Tarn]] assures him it is merely a last-gasp effort, and is more interested in the absence of Megatron, but Deathsaurus is certain that something has happened to the Autobots to give them this boost...

''Minutes earlier, as the Autobots engage in their group hug inside the fortress, an off-hand remark by [[Ratchet (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ratchet]] about the tightness of [[Tailgate (G1)|Tailgate]]'s super-strength hug causes [[Velocity (G1)|Velocity]] to have a brainwave. Reasoning that Tailgate's recent [[spark]] spasm released an energy wave that transformed him and, temporarily, those Transformers nearest to him, into super-strong [[Outlier (group)|outliers]], it should theoretically be possible to induce such a spasm in someone ''else'', thereby duplicating the effect on those assembled. The prospect of deliberately causing someone to have a nervous breakdown seems untenable, but [[Skids (G1)|Skids]] volunteers for the job and asks Chromedome to finally unlock his forgotten traumatic memories in order to accomplish it. Chromedome is unwilling to use his [[mnemosurgery]] needles, but as Tarn begins blaring "[[The Empyrean Suite]]" in advance of the DJD's attack, and the memories associated with the music begin to tickle the back of Skids's consciousness, Chromedome agrees to take another tactic: nothing more than a few awful, well-chosen words. Every memory from his time in [[Grindcore (prison)|Grindcore]] including the horrific, smelting death of [[Quark]] comes rushing back to Skids, and his spark erupts with light.''

Powered up into Outliers by Skids's sacrifice, the Autobots tear their way through their enemies, with [[Hot Rod (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Rodimus]] even pulling off his old "Flame Out" maneuver to incinerate a dogpile of Decepticons. Unfortunately, no sooner has he sizzled their circuits than he collapses to his knees, suddenly weakened, as the power-up begins to wear off!

Inside the fortress, Ratchet tends to Skids, who has been so badly traumatized by the experience that his spark has shrunk away to almost nothing. Ratchet attempts to stabilize him so that he can join the fight and leave the job of tending Skids to [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]], but the ex-Decepticon is having some health problems of his own, suffering from cramps caused by [[Fool's Energon]]. Ratchet insinuates that they are actually the product of fear and anxiety, but Megatron refutes the allegation, and explains to the medic that he is refusing to fight not because he fears the DJD, but because he fears what he himself will become if he straps a weapon to his arm once more. As far as Megatron is concerned, if he allows himself to commit violence again, he will be unable to stop himself from committing more and more, [[File:RageRage-Megatronappears.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.2|''Here comes the general'']]endlessly. This forces Ratchet into a confession: Fool's Energon is a placebo. It has never sapped Megatron's strength; Megatron only ''believed'' that it did, and every time he fought someone since he began taking it, he was—however subconsciously—acting with self-imposed restraint. Just then, Megatron looks at the monitor displaying the fight outside, and sees [[Ravage (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ravage]] being torn in half by Tarn. Ratchet is distracted when Skids wakes up and falls off the med-slab, desperate to find [[Brainstorm (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Brainstorm]] and tell him what became of Quark. When the medic looks up again, screaming that he needs help getting Skids back on the slab before he dies, Megatron is gone...

Outside, the upgrade process has well and truly worn off, as Brainstorm finds when his fist crumples against [[Lugnut (TF 2010)|Lugnut]]'s armor. He turns to the Necrobot's holographic statue of Skids to offer his thanks for the temporary advantage, only to find that the statue has been switched off... because Skids's body now lies lifeless on the floor of the fortress med-bay, his spark extinguished.

The weakened Autobots seem certain to join him in death, surrounding by the enemy on all sides—until salvation is heralded by the thunderous retort of a [[fusion cannon]]. With his newly-built weapon now attached, Megatron strides onto the battlefield, silently obliterating all opposition. Deathsaurus, fearing for the lives of his men, prepares to order a retreat but in the end, in the face of Tarn's orders, capitulates and sends them ''all'' in to 'wear out' the tyrant. (He doesn't know that Tarn has ordered ''his'' men to retreat, but a disappointed Nickel knows). Megatron reaches his comrades in fire and blood, gathers up the two pieces of the still-living Ravage, and orders them back to the fortress to get his feline friend help: ''he'' needs nobody's help.

Megatron roars for Tarn to come out but a well-placed shot from Nickel and Vos soon disables Megatron's cannon and leaves him open to attack. As the other Autobots watch through the monitor inside the fortress, Tarn and Overlord stand over the unarmed Megatron, and level their weapons as the man sinks, tired and distraught, to his knees. Tarn asks Megatron if it was worth it; the once and former Decepticon leader remains silent as he looks up at his would-be executioners, but shock crosses his features... just as three shots ring out...

==Quotes==
“Guys! Swerve! Can you stop hogging the intercom? I need to '''talk''' to magnus about his '''brother''.”

“ I’m sorry rewind—I can’t deal with that right now”
:—'''Ultra Magnus''' can’t deal with that right now

"The mnemosurgeon! I was '''hoping''' we'd meet again—I wanted to tell you something. I'm afraid your '''skinny little friend''' died before the missiles hit. I managed to pull off '''three''' of his limbs before the pain '''really''' drove him over the edge. The '''noises''' he made...! And he kept calling your name! ''"Domey! Domey! Save me!"'' I had to put his '''head''' in my mouth just to '''shut him up'''. Just popped it in and—chomp!—bit down 'til he stopped '''twitching'''."
:—'''Overlord'''

"Ask me what I used to do for a living!" 
"What?" 
"Ask me what I used to do for a living!" 
"'''What?'''" 
"Same thing as I do now, '''dirtwad'''—'''waste disposal!'''"
:—'''Tailgate''' tries some action hero banter, but a '''Decepticon''' doesn't play along

"You're not a '''coward''', Megatron—'''or''' a pacifist, for that matter. At least not in the way '''I''' understand the word." 
"I'm not afraid of the DJD. I am, however, afraid of '''rediscovering''' what I'm capable of. I'm afraid that if I got out there and fight—'''really''' fight—I won't be able to stop. '''Ever.''' Because I '''won't want to'''. Every day is a '''battle''', Ratchet. Every hour. Every '''second'''. A battle between me and the '''real''' me—and I wish I knew which was which." 
"So either way, it's about you. ''Quelle suprise.''" 
"It's not about me—it's about '''everyone else.'''" 
"Riiiiight." 
"If I step outside, '''that's''' just the beginning—the first of a '''thousand''' battlefields. If I don't keep myself in check, the '''war''' could reignite—and if it '''did''', it would make what's gone before seem '''trivial''' by comparison. I'd surrender myself '''completely''' to my darker impulses—because I'd '''have''' to. If I were to avoid another day like '''this''' one—another day of being '''torn in two'''—I'd have to. I don't give a damn if '''Fool's Energon''' has sapped my strength or dulled my mind—I '''would not be stopped.'''"
:—'''Ratchet''' and '''Megatron'''

"Sleep tight, soldier."
:—'''Ratchet''' bids farewell to Skids

"I don't need your help. I don't need ''anybody's'' help. But Ravage does."

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
[[File:MTMTE Tailgate Bomb Waste Disposal character arc.jpg|thumb|upright=1.0|right|Now imagine if the Decepticon just happened to be a [[K-Class|K-Con]]…]]
*Overlord reveals what happened to the original Rewind, after they were trapped in the [[slow cell]] together in [[Under Cold Blue Stars|issue #15]]. Given the time dilation involved in the cell's function, either he was lying to hurt Chromedome or Overlord works disturbingly fast.
*Skids recalls the two previous instances in which Chromedome stopped him from remembering his lost memories, in [[Scavengers (Part 2): Who's Afraid of the DJD?|issue #8]] and [[Speak, Memory! (Part 2)|#49]]. As Tarn blares "The Empyrean Suite", Skids starts to feel hot, as memories of the smelting chamber seen in issue #49 start to creep in.
*If you're wondering why Transformers aren't turning into Outliers as a result of traumatic experiences all the time, recall that it's only the unique mixture of quantum energy that the crew of the ''[[Lost Light]]'' have been exposed to in their travels that has mutated their sparks to the point that they are capable of this stress-induced evolution, as explained in issue #49.
*This issue marks the culmination of Tailgate's character arc that began all the way back in [[Liars, A to D Part 1: How to Say Goodbye and Mean It|issue #1]]: Originally, the inscription on his left arm only read "osal", with the rest of it having been worn off by the elements during the six million years he spent lying unconsciously underground. In [[Liars, A to D Part 2: Hangers On|issue #2]], after Swerve had inquired about it, Tailgate insisted it should say "''Bomb'' Disposal"; prior to [[Interiors|issue #6]], he had Ratchet "fix" it (although an artistic error for the original single release of that issue accidentally gave away the subsequent twist, but that was later corrected for the trade paperback collection); in [[Before & After|issue #12]], he ''actually'' attempted to disarm a bomb (while tricking Rewind into talking him through the process), which nearly resulted in himself, Rewind, Cyclonus, and Whirl getting killed; in [[Cybertronian Homesick Blues|issue #13]], he finally came clean to Cyclonus about the truth, revealing that the inscription on his arm ''did'' originally say "''Waste'' Disposal"; and finally, following his near-death experience in [[Remain in Light 5 of 5: This Calamitous Life|issue #21]], he decided he no longer wanted to pretend to be someone he isn't, and had the inscription on his arm changed to its original form, "''Waste'' Disposal", prior to [[World, Shut Your Mouth Part 2: Words Hang in the Air|issue #29]] (he specifically drew attention to it while talking to [[Getaway]] in [[World, Shut Your Mouth Part 3: Predestination: A Beginner's Guide|issue #30]]). Now, having gained super-strength, he turns what once was his source of secret shame into the set-up for an ''epic'' one-liner, ''knocking the head off a Decepticon with a single punch'' while pointing out that what he's doing does ''still'', in a way, qualify as "waste disposal".
*Rodimus uses his "Flame Out" ability for the very first time since it was introduced all the way back in [[Maximum Dinobots issue 3|''Maximum Dinobots'' #3]]. He even remarks on how long it's been since he last did it.
*Fool's Energon is revealed to be a placebo, in actuality being standard yet disgusting tasting Energon; its foul taste was previously evidenced when [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailcutter]] sneaked some in [[World, Shut Your Mouth Part 2: Words Hang in the Air|issue #29]]. Ratchet explains they couldn't give Megatron a ''real'' sedative because of the damaged state of his internal organs, caused by [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Shockwave]], which we learned about in [[World, Shut Your Mouth Part 1: Towards Peace|issue #28]], meaning Megatron's apparent physical weakness and change in personality were merely psychosomatic. In an ''incredibly'' subtle bit of foreshadowing of this, Ratchet let slip a "What is it?" while trying to get his story straight to Rodimus in [[World, Shut Your Mouth Part 3: Predestination: A Beginner's Guide|issue #30]] as he outlined the bogus chemical's effects.
*Ratchet recalls previous instances in which Megatron restrained his strength: fighting [[Whirl (G1)|Whirl]] in issue #28, punching [[Perceptor (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Perceptor]] in [[Elegant Chaos Part 3: Predestination: An Expert's Guide|issue #38]], and lashing out at Tailgate in [[The Lopsided Triangle|issue #47]].
*As Skids crawls along the floor after falling off the med-slab, he calls himself "scum" for what he unknowingly helped Tarn do in Grindcore. This hearkens ''aaaaaall'' the way back to his first appearance in this series in [[Liars, A to D Part 2: Hangers On|issue #2]], in which, while struggling to remember anything about himself, the last vestiges of this memory caused the amnesiac Skids to briefly think his name was "Scum".
*Back in [[The Not Knowing|issue #44]], Skids remarked "who doesn't want to survive the dying of the light?"
*Tarn sounds almost glad to find Megatron to have his "fire" back while Overlord dismisses this as him just finding a big gun. Both views fit into their ongoing desire to kill Megatron: Tarn was angry and upset that Megs, by surrendering, was no longer the 'real' Megs back in [[The Dying of the Light Part 3: Your Fierce Tears|part 3]], while Overlord has been constantly talking down and demeaning Megatron in a protests-too-much kinda way since [[Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 2|"Last Stand of the Wreckers" #2]].
*This issue marks the first time Velocity is shown in her vehicle mode, while the Autobots retreat with the severely wounded Ravage back into the Necrobot's fortress.
*Ten is distraught to see Skids' corpse. Back in "[[Our Steps Will Always Rhyme]]", Skids was in his mural of favourite crewmembers.
*Megatron is distraught over the thought of "another day of being '''torn in two'''". As he says it, he gestures at the screen in which Ravage is being hunted down by Tarn, foreshadowing events that occur just one page later.

===Transformers references===
*When Rewind attempts to tell Magnus about what happened to Dominus last issue, Ultra Magnus paraphrases his most famous line from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'': "I can't deal with that now."
*In a cute touch, Autobot Megatron's new fusion cannon fires orange beams, just like all Autobot weaponry in the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Generation 1 cartoon]], rather than Decepticon purple. Having been built by Brainstorm, it brings to mind his talk of weapons that could differentiate between Autobot and Decepticon by firing different coloured lasers back in issue #28, but the cartoon color-coding has actually always been in effect for pretty much all weaponry throughout "season two," independent of anything Brainstorm might've made.

===Real-life references===
*As with the previous chapters, this issue's title (and the title of the multi-parter itself) is taken from the poem "{{w|Do not go gentle into that good night}}," by {{w|Dylan Thomas}}.
*In the left-side background on page 14, in the big crowd of Decepticons, you can just see a dead ringer for [[Evangelion Unit-01]].
*Chromedome's words when he asks Tailgate to keep a distance while everyone else is given a temporary power boost by Skids, "Not you, Tailgate. You've already taken your magic medicine.", appear to reference French comic ''{{w|Asterix}}'', where Asterix's friend Obelix is constantly denied drinking from the magic potion, which temporarily gives the Gauls superhuman strength, because he had fallen inside the local village druid's cauldron containing the potion as a child and gained permanent superhuman strength as a result. Like Tailgate, Obelix is a naive, light-hearted simpleton with a childlike intellect and a tendency to be easily upset or enraged. The characters are drawn in the same sort of placement too, gathering around Skids the way the Gaulish villagers gather round Getafix’s cauldron.

===Errors===
[[File:MTMTE 54 hugging single vs TPB.jpg|thumb|upright=0.7|right|I'm not hugging too tight — I'm ''panicking''. Your speech bubble is suffocating me!]]
*In the "Story So Far" recap, Minimus Ambus is said to be the alter ego of [[Fortress Maximus (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Fortress Maximus]]. Sounds like someone at IDW had ''[[Titans Return (franchise)|Titans Return]]'' on the brain when writing that!
*On page five, panel 1, Ratchet tells Tailgate not to squeeze so tightly as they hug—but his speech bubble's been stuck right on top of Tailgate's head, making him almost unnoticeable in the panel. The speech bubble was moved in the trade paperback.
*On the same page, Ratchet says Tailgate was "taken the brink," rather than "taken '''to''' the brink." This was corrected in the trade paperback.
{{-}}

===Other trivia===
*Vos's sole speech bubble in this issue, spoken when Tarn forgets to credit him along with Nickel for blasting Chromedome, translates to "Bears love sushi." Eh??
*The Autobot emblems are exceptionally emotive this issue, ranging from sad with "tears" (Ratchet), enraged (Megatron) and OH GOD IT BURNS (Rodimus).
*Skids dies to get the fight scenes going in this comic: it's explicit that he's near death to give the Autobots a temporary boost of power, and suggests that Megatron leaving for his big action scene meant Skids couldn't get back onto his medical slab.
**The fight scenes just leads to the Autobots back where they left off in #53 rather than achieving anything and only the cannon fodder Decepticons, given orders by Tarn to charge 'over the top' directly at Megatron simply to wear him down, get killed. All of this feels pretty intentional by the writer who said "Next: In Flanders' Fields" last issue and tied in to Megatron's themes that violence, however justified or necessary, is only turning out badly for him and those around him.
*The month that this issue came out in Europe, the 100th anniversary of the {{w|Battle of the Somme}}, the bloodiest and most brutal battle of [[World War II]] was commemorated—the battle in which hundreds of thousands of Allied soldiers died within moments of going 'over the top', forced to run straight towards German guns as little more than cannon fodder. ''Technically'' the Allies won that battle, but casualties for both sides were catastrophic.

'''Through the sacrifice of one of their comrades, the Autobots are given the means to fight back... and Megatron takes up arms once more.'''

==Synopsis==
On the blasted ground outside the [[Mortilus|Necrobot]]'s fortress, the [[Autobot]]s tear into the [[Decepticon Justice Division]] and their allies with fire and fervor. As [[Swerve (G1)|Swerve]] and [[Rewind (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Rewind]] man laser turrets built into the shoulders of [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ultra Magnus]]'s new "Maximus Ambus" armor, Rewind tries to tell Magnus of the recent discovery he made about [[Dominus Ambus|his brother]], but the battle has all of Magnus's attention. [[Cyclonus (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Cyclonus]] swoops in low to bear down on [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]], but the [[Decepticon]] sadist punches him into the ground. [[Chromedome (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Chromedome]] blasts Overlord in the face to draw his attention away, and the grinning monster proceeds to describe in grisly detail how he dismembered the original Rewind before Chromedome blew up the cell containing them both. Chromedome screams a scream of passion and rage, and hurls a punch at Overlord... a punch of such freakish strength that it lifts Overlord off the ground and sends him flying backward! As [[Nickel]] proceeds to shoot Chromedome in the arm with [[Vos (DJD)|Vos]]'s rifle mode, [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]] observes that the Autobots are fighting with unprecedented strength. [[Tarn (DJD)|Tarn]] assures him it is merely a last-gasp effort, and is more interested in the absence of Megatron, but Deathsaurus is certain that something has happened to the Autobots to give them this boost...

''Minutes earlier, as the Autobots engage in their group hug inside the fortress, an off-hand remark by [[Ratchet (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ratchet]] about the tightness of [[Tailgate (G1)|Tailgate]]'s super-strength hug causes [[Velocity (G1)|Velocity]] to have a brainwave. Reasoning that Tailgate's recent [[spark]] spasm released an energy wave that transformed him and, temporarily, those Transformers nearest to him, into super-strong [[Outlier (group)|outliers]], it should theoretically be possible to induce such a spasm in someone ''else'', thereby duplicating the effect on those assembled. The prospect of deliberately causing someone to have a nervous breakdown seems untenable, but [[Skids (G1)|Skids]] volunteers for the job and asks Chromedome to finally unlock his forgotten traumatic memories in order to accomplish it. Chromedome is unwilling to use his [[mnemosurgery]] needles, but as Tarn begins blaring "[[The Empyrean Suite]]" in advance of the DJD's attack, and the memories associated with the music begin to tickle the back of Skids's consciousness, Chromedome agrees to take another tactic: nothing more than a few awful, well-chosen words. Every memory from his time in [[Grindcore (prison)|Grindcore]] including the horrific, smelting death of [[Quark]] comes rushing back to Skids, and his spark erupts with light.''

Powered up into Outliers by Skids's sacrifice, the Autobots tear their way through their enemies, with [[Hot Rod (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Rodimus]] even pulling off his old "Flame Out" maneuver to incinerate a dogpile of Decepticons. Unfortunately, no sooner has he sizzled their circuits than he collapses to his knees, suddenly weakened, as the power-up begins to wear off!

Inside the fortress, Ratchet tends to Skids, who has been so badly traumatized by the experience that his spark has shrunk away to almost nothing. Ratchet attempts to stabilize him so that he can join the fight and leave the job of tending Skids to [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]], but the ex-Decepticon is having some health problems of his own, suffering from cramps caused by [[Fool's Energon]]. Ratchet insinuates that they are actually the product of fear and anxiety, but Megatron refutes the allegation, and explains to the medic that he is refusing to fight not because he fears the DJD, but because he fears what he himself will become if he straps a weapon to his arm once more. As far as Megatron is concerned, if he allows himself to commit violence again, he will be unable to stop himself from committing more and more, [[File:RageRage-Megatronappears.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.2|''Here comes the general'']]endlessly. This forces Ratchet into a confession: Fool's Energon is a placebo. It has never sapped Megatron's strength; Megatron only ''believed'' that it did, and every time he fought someone since he began taking it, he was—however subconsciously—acting with self-imposed restraint. Just then, Megatron looks at the monitor displaying the fight outside, and sees [[Ravage (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ravage]] being torn in half by Tarn. Ratchet is distracted when Skids wakes up and falls off the med-slab, desperate to find [[Brainstorm (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Brainstorm]] and tell him what became of Quark. When the medic looks up again, screaming that he needs help getting Skids back on the slab before he dies, Megatron is gone...

Outside, the upgrade process has well and truly worn off, as Brainstorm finds when his fist crumples against [[Lugnut (TF 2010)|Lugnut]]'s armor. He turns to the Necrobot's holographic statue of Skids to offer his thanks for the temporary advantage, only to find that the statue has been switched off... because Skids's body now lies lifeless on the floor of the fortress med-bay, his spark extinguished.

The weakened Autobots seem certain to join him in death, surrounding by the enemy on all sides—until salvation is heralded by the thunderous retort of a [[fusion cannon]]. With his newly-built weapon now attached, Megatron strides onto the battlefield, silently obliterating all opposition. Deathsaurus, fearing for the lives of his men, prepares to order a retreat but in the end, in the face of Tarn's orders, capitulates and sends them ''all'' in to 'wear out' the tyrant. (He doesn't know that Tarn has ordered ''his'' men to retreat, but a disappointed Nickel knows). Megatron reaches his comrades in fire and blood, gathers up the two pieces of the still-living Ravage, and orders them back to the fortress to get his feline friend help: ''he'' needs nobody's help.

Megatron roars for Tarn to come out but a well-placed shot from Nickel and Vos soon disables Megatron's cannon and leaves him open to attack. As the other Autobots watch through the monitor inside the fortress, Tarn and Overlord stand over the unarmed Megatron, and level their weapons as the man sinks, tired and distraught, to his knees. Tarn asks Megatron if it was worth it; the once and former Decepticon leader remains silent as he looks up at his would-be executioners, but shock crosses his features... just as three shots ring out...

==Quotes==
“Guys! Swerve! Can you stop holding the intercom? I need to '''talk''' to magnus about his '''brother''.”
“ I’m sorry rewind—I can’t deal with that right now”
:—'''Ultra Magnus''' can’t deal with that right now

"The mnemosurgeon! I was '''hoping''' we'd meet again—I wanted to tell you something. I'm afraid your '''skinny little friend''' died before the missiles hit. I managed to pull off '''three''' of his limbs before the pain '''really''' drove him over the edge. The '''noises''' he made...! And he kept calling your name! ''"Domey! Domey! Save me!"'' I had to put his '''head''' in my mouth just to '''shut him up'''. Just popped it in and—chomp!—bit down 'til he stopped '''twitching'''."
:—'''Overlord'''

"Ask me what I used to do for a living!" 
"What?" 
"Ask me what I used to do for a living!" 
"'''What?'''" 
"Same thing as I do now, '''dirtwad'''—'''waste disposal!'''"
:—'''Tailgate''' tries some action hero banter, but a '''Decepticon''' doesn't play along

"You're not a '''coward''', Megatron—'''or''' a pacifist, for that matter. At least not in the way '''I''' understand the word." 
"I'm not afraid of the DJD. I am, however, afraid of '''rediscovering''' what I'm capable of. I'm afraid that if I got out there and fight—'''really''' fight—I won't be able to stop. '''Ever.''' Because I '''won't want to'''. Every day is a '''battle''', Ratchet. Every hour. Every '''second'''. A battle between me and the '''real''' me—and I wish I knew which was which." 
"So either way, it's about you. ''Quelle suprise.''" 
"It's not about me—it's about '''everyone else.'''" 
"Riiiiight." 
"If I step outside, '''that's''' just the beginning—the first of a '''thousand''' battlefields. If I don't keep myself in check, the '''war''' could reignite—and if it '''did''', it would make what's gone before seem '''trivial''' by comparison. I'd surrender myself '''completely''' to my darker impulses—because I'd '''have''' to. If I were to avoid another day like '''this''' one—another day of being '''torn in two'''—I'd have to. I don't give a damn if '''Fool's Energon''' has sapped my strength or dulled my mind—I '''would not be stopped.'''"
:—'''Ratchet''' and '''Megatron'''

"Sleep tight, soldier."
:—'''Ratchet''' bids farewell to Skids

"I don't need your help. I don't need ''anybody's'' help. But Ravage does."
:—'''Megatron's''' line has two meanings!

==Notes==
===Continuity notes===
[[File:MTMTE Tailgate Bomb Waste Disposal character arc.jpg|thumb|upright=1.0|right|Now imagine if the Decepticon just happened to be a [[K-Class|K-Con]]…]]
*Overlord reveals what happened to the original Rewind, after they were trapped in the [[slow cell]] together in [[Under Cold Blue Stars|issue #15]]. Given the time dilation involved in the cell's function, either he was lying to hurt Chromedome or Overlord works disturbingly fast.
*Skids recalls the two previous instances in which Chromedome stopped him from remembering his lost memories, in [[Scavengers (Part 2): Who's Afraid of the DJD?|issue #8]] and [[Speak, Memory! (Part 2)|#49]]. As Tarn blares "The Empyrean Suite", Skids starts to feel hot, as memories of the smelting chamber seen in issue #49 start to creep in.
*If you're wondering why Transformers aren't turning into Outliers as a result of traumatic experiences all the time, recall that it's only the unique mixture of quantum energy that the crew of the ''[[Lost Light]]'' have been exposed to in their travels that has mutated their sparks to the point that they are capable of this stress-induced evolution, as explained in issue #49.
*This issue marks the culmination of Tailgate's character arc that began all the way back in [[Liars, A to D Part 1: How to Say Goodbye and Mean It|issue #1]]: Originally, the inscription on his left arm only read "osal", with the rest of it having been worn off by the elements during the six million years he spent lying unconsciously underground. In [[Liars, A to D Part 2: Hangers On|issue #2]], after Swerve had inquired about it, Tailgate insisted it should say "''Bomb'' Disposal"; prior to [[Interiors|issue #6]], he had Ratchet "fix" it (although an artistic error for the original single release of that issue accidentally gave away the subsequent twist, but that was later corrected for the trade paperback collection); in [[Before & After|issue #12]], he ''actually'' attempted to disarm a bomb (while tricking Rewind into talking him through the process), which nearly resulted in himself, Rewind, Cyclonus, and Whirl getting killed; in [[Cybertronian Homesick Blues|issue #13]], he finally came clean to Cyclonus about the truth, revealing that the inscription on his arm ''did'' originally say "''Waste'' Disposal"; and finally, following his near-death experience in [[Remain in Light 5 of 5: This Calamitous Life|issue #21]], he decided he no longer wanted to pretend to be someone he isn't, and had the inscription on his arm changed to its original form, "''Waste'' Disposal", prior to [[World, Shut Your Mouth Part 2: Words Hang in the Air|issue #29]] (he specifically drew attention to it while talking to [[Getaway]] in [[World, Shut Your Mouth Part 3: Predestination: A Beginner's Guide|issue #30]]). Now, having gained super-strength, he turns what once was his source of secret shame into the set-up for an ''epic'' one-liner, ''knocking the head off a Decepticon with a single punch'' while pointing out that what he's doing does ''still'', in a way, qualify as "waste disposal".
*Rodimus uses his "Flame Out" ability for the very first time since it was introduced all the way back in [[Maximum Dinobots issue 3|''Maximum Dinobots'' #3]]. He even remarks on how long it's been since he last did it.
*Fool's Energon is revealed to be a placebo, in actuality being standard yet disgusting tasting Energon; its foul taste was previously evidenced when [[Trailbreaker (G1)|Trailcutter]] sneaked some in [[World, Shut Your Mouth Part 2: Words Hang in the Air|issue #29]]. Ratchet explains they couldn't give Megatron a ''real'' sedative because of the damaged state of his internal organs, caused by [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Shockwave]], which we learned about in [[World, Shut Your Mouth Part 1: Towards Peace|issue #28]], meaning Megatron's apparent physical weakness and change in personality were merely psychosomatic. In an ''incredibly'' subtle bit of foreshadowing of this, Ratchet let slip a "What is it?" while trying to get his story straight to Rodimus in [[World, Shut Your Mouth Part 3: Predestination: A Beginner's Guide|issue #30]] as he outlined the bogus chemical's effects.
*Ratchet recalls previous instances in which Megatron restrained his strength: fighting [[Whirl (G1)|Whirl]] in issue #28, punching [[Perceptor (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Perceptor]] in [[Elegant Chaos Part 3: Predestination: An Expert's Guide|issue #38]], and lashing out at Tailgate in [[The Lopsided Triangle|issue #47]].
*As Skids crawls along the floor after falling off the med-slab, he calls himself "scum" for what he unknowingly helped Tarn do in Grindcore. This hearkens ''aaaaaall'' the way back to his first appearance in this series in [[Liars, A to D Part 2: Hangers On|issue #2]], in which, while struggling to remember anything about himself, the last vestiges of this memory caused the amnesiac Skids to briefly think his name was "Scum".
*Back in [[The Not Knowing|issue #44]], Skids remarked "who doesn't want to survive the dying of the light?"
*Tarn sounds almost glad to find Megatron to have his "fire" back while Overlord dismisses this as him just finding a big gun. Both views fit into their ongoing desire to kill Megatron: Tarn was angry and upset that Megs, by surrendering, was no longer the 'real' Megs back in [[The Dying of the Light Part 3: Your Fierce Tears|part 3]], while Overlord has been constantly talking down and demeaning Megatron in a protests-too-much kinda way since [[Last Stand of the Wreckers issue 2|"Last Stand of the Wreckers" #2]].
*This issue marks the first time Velocity is shown in her vehicle mode, while the Autobots retreat with the severely wounded Ravage back into the Necrobot's fortress.
*Ten is distraught to see Skids' corpse. Back in "[[Our Steps Will Always Rhyme]]", Skids was in his mural of favourite crewmembers.
*Megatron is distraught over the thought of "another day of being '''torn in two'''". As he says it, he gestures at the screen in which Ravage is being hunted down by Tarn, foreshadowing events that occur just one page later.

===Transformers references===
*When Rewind attempts to tell Magnus about what happened to Dominus last issue, Ultra Magnus paraphrases his most famous line from ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'': "I can't deal with that now."
*In a cute touch, Autobot Megatron's new fusion cannon fires orange beams, just like all Autobot weaponry in the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Generation 1 cartoon]], rather than Decepticon purple. Having been built by Brainstorm, it brings to mind his talk of weapons that could differentiate between Autobot and Decepticon by firing different coloured lasers back in issue #28, but the cartoon color-coding has actually always been in effect for pretty much all weaponry throughout "season two," independent of anything Brainstorm might've made.

===Real-life references===
*As with the previous chapters, this issue's title (and the title of the multi-parter itself) is taken from the poem "{{w|Do not go gentle into that good night}}," by {{w|Dylan Thomas}}.
*In the left-side background on page 14, in the big crowd of Decepticons, you can just see a dead ringer for [[Evangelion Unit-01]].
*Chromedome's words when he asks Tailgate to keep a distance while everyone else is given a temporary power boost by Skids, "Not you, Tailgate. You've already taken your magic medicine.", appear to reference French comic ''{{w|Asterix}}'', where Asterix's friend Obelix is constantly denied drinking from the magic potion, which temporarily gives the Gauls superhuman strength, because he had fallen inside the local village druid's cauldron containing the potion as a child and gained permanent superhuman strength as a result. Like Tailgate, Obelix is a naive, light-hearted simpleton with a childlike intellect and a tendency to be easily upset or enraged. The characters are drawn in the same sort of placement too, gathering around Skids the way the Gaulish villagers gather round Getafix’s cauldron.

===Errors===
[[File:MTMTE 54 hugging single vs TPB.jpg|thumb|upright=0.7|right|I'm not hugging too tight — I'm ''panicking''. Your speech bubble is suffocating me!]]
*In the "Story So Far" recap, Minimus Ambus is said to be the alter ego of [[Fortress Maximus (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Fortress Maximus]]. Sounds like someone at IDW had ''[[Titans Return (franchise)|Titans Return]]'' on the brain when writing that!
*On page five, panel 1, Ratchet tells Tailgate not to squeeze so tightly as they hug—but his speech bubble's been stuck right on top of Tailgate's head, making him almost unnoticeable in the panel. The speech bubble was moved in the trade paperback.
*On the same page, Ratchet says Tailgate was "taken the brink," rather than "taken '''to''' the brink." This was corrected in the trade paperback.
{{-}}

===Other trivia===
*Vos's sole speech bubble in this issue, spoken when Tarn forgets to credit him along with Nickel for blasting Chromedome, translates to "Bears love sushi." Eh??
*The Autobot emblems are exceptionally emotive this issue, ranging from sad with "tears" (Ratchet), enraged (Megatron) and OH GOD IT BURNS (Rodimus).
*Skids dies to get the fight scenes going in this comic: it's explicit that he's near death to give the Autobots a temporary boost of power, and suggests that Megatron leaving for his big action scene meant Skids couldn't get back onto his medical slab.
**The fight scenes just leads to the Autobots back where they left off in #53 rather than achieving anything and only the cannon fodder Decepticons, given orders by Tarn to charge 'over the top' directly at Megatron simply to wear him down, get killed. All of this feels pretty intentional by the writer who said "Next: In Flanders' Fields" last issue and tied in to Megatron's themes that violence, however justified or necessary, is only turning out badly for him and those around him.
*The month that this issue came out in Europe, the 100th anniversary of the {{w|Battle of the Somme}}, the bloodiest and most brutal battle of [[World War II]] was commemorated—the battle in which hundreds of thousands of Allied soldiers died within moments of going 'over the top', forced to run straight towards German guns as little more than cannon fodder. ''Technically'' the Allies won that battle, but casualties for both sides were catastrophic.

:''Drillhorn is a [[Decepticon]] [[Breastforce]] Warrior from the [[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory (franchise)|Victory]] portion of the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Drillhorn.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|He was [[Pat Lee|reaching for your purse]] before reaching for your purse was cool.]]

'''Drillhorn''' (ドリルホーン ''Doriruhōn'') is the veteran strategist amongst the [[Breastforce]] group. He is very knowledgeable and very tough... and can be ''quite'' opinionated, to the point of being stupidly bull-headed. His adherence to past battle experiences can often leave him unprepared for unexpected changes in the battlefield.

Drillhorn is accompanied by his [[Breast Animal]] partner, [[Hornbreast]], a robotic rhino that can transform into either his chestplate or a hand-held blaster. Like his fellow Breastforce warriors, he is also armed with an [[Electromagnetic Nunchaku]].

Drillhorn can also combine with his Breastforce teammates to form [[Liokaiser]], becoming the left leg of the super robot.

As a ''Combiner Wars'' Deluxe limb he can combine with any Voyager Class toys released as part of that subline or the ''Unite Warriors'' line, or form one of [[Godbomber#Legends|''Legends'' Godbomber's]] legs, but is of course intended to be combined with his pack-in Destrons and "Dezarus" to form Liokaiser. His nominal placement is as the left leg.

:Initial prototype photos show Drillhorn's drill-gun/vehicle cockpit installed on the front side of the tank mode, as opposed to facing the back like Ramhorn's/Nosecone's.

:Unlike the original toy, Drillhorn is designed to have his leg mode facing forward as opposed to facing sideways. While it can be attached sideways to achieve a look similar to the original toy's design, doing so will rob the Combiner of its functional knees.

Additionally, it was also sold at Ripley stores in Chile and at Myer stores in Australia, whereas in Canada, it was available via the Canadian [[Walmart]] website, but never sold in stores.

[[File:Drillhorn.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|He was [[Pat Lee|reaching for your purse]] before reaching for your purse was cool.]]

'''Drillhorn''' (ドリルホーン ''Doriruhōn'') is the veteran strategist amongst the [[Breastforce]] group. He is very knowledgeable and very tough... and can be ''quite'' opinionated, to the point of being stupidly bull-headed. His adherence to past battle experiences can often leave him unprepared for unexpected changes in the battlefield.

Drillhorn is accompanied by his [[Breast Animal]] partner, [[Hornbreast]], a robotic rhino that can transform into either his chestplate or a hand-held blaster. Like his fellow Breastforce warriors, he is also armed with an [[Electromagnetic Nunchaku]].

Drillhorn can also combine with his Breastforce teammates to form [[Liokaiser]], becoming the left leg of the super robot.

[[File:Drillhorn.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|He was [[Pat Lee|reaching for your purse]] before reaching for your purse was cool.]]

'''Drillhorn''' (ドリルホーン ''Doriruhōn'') is the veteran strategist amongst the [[Breastforce]] group. He is very knowledgeable and very tough... and can be ''quite'' opinionated, to the point of being stupidly bull-headed. His adherence to past battle experiences can often leave him unprepared for unexpected changes in the battlefield.

Drillhorn is accompanied by his [[Breast Animal]] partner, [[Hornbreast]], a robotic rhino that can transform into either his chestplate or a hand-held blaster. Like his fellow Breastforce warriors, he is also armed with an [[Electromagnetic Nunchaku]].

Drillhorn can also combine with his Breastforce teammates to form [[Liokaiser]], becoming the left leg of the super robot.

'''Drillhorn''' (ドリルホーン ''Doriruhōn'') is the veteran strategist amongst the [[Breastforce]] group. He is very knowledgeable and very tough... and can be ''quite'' opinionated, to the point of being stupidly bull-headed. His adherence to past battle experiences can often leave him unprepared for unexpected changes in the battlefield.

Drillhorn is accompanied by his [[Breast Animal]] partner, [[Hornbreast]], a robotic rhino that can transform into either his chestplate or a hand-held blaster. Like his fellow Breastforce warriors, he is also armed with an [[Electromagnetic Nunchaku]].

Drillhorn can also combine with his Breastforce teammates to form [[Liokaiser]], becoming the left leg of the super robot.
