:''Bob is an adorable [[Insecticon swarm|abomination of science]] from the [[IDW Generation 1 continuity|IDW portion]] of the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Idw20-bobthefriendlyinsecticon.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|'''PLUSH TOY'''. Are you listening, Hasbro?]]
'''Bob''' is a docile member of the [[Insecticon swarm]] which ravaged [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]].

He is [[Sunstreaker (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Sunstreaker]]'s kitty.

==Fiction==
===IDW Generation 1 continuity===
[[File:Bob Out of the Silent Planet.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.5]]
On Cybertron, Sunstreaker found Bob wandering alone away from the swarm and trained him to sniff out other Insecticons for him and [[Ironhide (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Ironhide]].

The trio later met up with [[Hot Rod/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Hot Rod]] and [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]]. Bob was introduced to the surprised Hot Rod, and Sunstreaker explained how he adopted the Insecticon. During the explanation, Bob wriggled down and took a happy good-dog nap. It was adorable. Hot Rod was faintly nauseated.

Bob tagged along with the group when they left Cybertron for [[Earth]] to escape [[Galvatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Galvatron]] and his army. {{storylink|Space Opera Act 2: Out of the Silent Planet|Out of the Silent Planet}}

Sunstreaker brought Bob with him when the Autobots departed for Cybertron, much to [[Red Alert (G1)|Red Alert]]'s chagrin. {{storylink|Space Opera—Final Tableaux: Orphans of the Helix|Orphans of the Helix}}

Later on the flight to Cybertron when the other Autobots were being jerks to Sunstreaker, Bob, sensing his owner's sadness, kept him company. Sunstreaker petted him and he purred happily. It was even more adorable. Upon arrival, Bob was part of the landing party sent down to Cybertron, where he helped his owner fight [[Sweep (G1)|Sweeps]]. {{storylink|Chaos Part One: Lamentations|Lamentations}} He later saved Sunstreaker from an attack by [[Ravage (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Ravage]]. {{storylink|Chaos Part Three: Kings|Kings}}

Bob accompanied his owner on board the ''[[Lost Light]]'', and sat contentedly beside him in [[Swerve (G1)|Swerve]]'s [[Swerve's|bar]]. {{Storylink|Life After the Big Bang}} Sunstreaker took him with him to an award ceremony honoring the efforts of [[Chromedome (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Chromedome]], [[Brainstorm (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Brainstorm]], and [[Highbrow (G1)|Highbrow]]. {{storylink|The Reluctant Specialist}} Shortly after that, he and Sunstreaker accompanied [[Hoist (G1)|Hoist]], Swerve, and [[Perceptor (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Perceptor]] on a routine mission to scavenge materiel from an abandoned Decepticon outpost, but wound up crashing on [[Deimus]], a planet protected by a [[phobia shield]]. This caused Bob's worst fears to be realised in the form of the [[Titan (IDW)|Titan]] [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]], who promptly destroyed their shuttle. Fortunately, Hoist managed to get the crew clear and knocked Bob out cold, causing the illusory Metroplex to disappear. {{storylink|The Waiting Game}} [[File:IntimateBeheading BRILLIANT.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.75]]

Bob went with Sunstreaker to [[Rewind (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Rewind]]'s first storytelling session. When [[Siren (G1)|Siren]]'s volume got too high, Sunstreaker shielded his pet's audio receptors from the noise. {{storylink|Shadowplay (Conclusion): An Intimate Beheading|An Intimate Beheading}}

Bob was seen next to Sunstreaker when he greeted [[Sideswipe (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Sideswipe]] after the ''Lost Light'' landed on Cybertron. {{storylink|The Becoming: Dark Cybertron Chapter 10|The Becoming}} Sunstreaker and Bob remained behind on Cybertron after the ''Lost Light'' left to resume its quest. {{storylink|You, Me, and the Universe}} While accompanying Sunstreaker to [[Maccadam's Old Oil House|Maccadam's]], Bob was caught up in a bar brawl incited by the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]]. {{storylink|The Transformers: Redemption|Redemption}}

Sunstreaker and Bob helped retake the spacebridge nexus when the Decepticons attempted to take it by force. They were also present when Optimus Prime went to Earth and annexed it into the [[Council of Worlds]]. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 4: Perihelion|Perihelion}} He stood by his owner as they entered the ''[[Ark-7]]'' to retrieve [[Sideswipe (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Sideswipe]] before the Autobots boarded the ''[[Skyroller]]'' to Bikini Atoll to retrieve their comrades. Here Bob growled menacingly at [[Buster (IDW)|Buster]] to assert his dominance. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 1: Once Upon a Time on Earth|Once Upon a Time on Earth}} A past version of him was glimpsed on the ''Lost Light'' via a "time window". {{storylink|No Guns, No Swords, No Briefcases}}

As part of a show of goodwill towards Earth following Optimus's annexation of the planet, Bob helped Sunstreaker do unidentified good deeds in [[Singapore]]. He later lost his "alpha male" status to Buster in the med bay of the ''Skyroller''. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 2: Edge of the Earth|Edge of the Earth}} He later tried to regain his pride before [[D.0.C.]], Sunstreaker, and [[Thundercracker (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Thundercracker]] separated him from Buster. When the [[Earth Defense Command]] attacked, the Insecticon leapt and began tearing through a gunship before a mech controlled by the [[People's Liberation Army Mecha Force]] downed him. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 4: It's Beginning To And Back Again|It's Beginning To And Back Again}} He bravely hid by the ''Skyroller'' for the rest of the fight until Optimus raised [[Metrotitan (Zone)|Metrotitan]] scaring off the humans. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 5: As Above...So Below|As Above...So Below}}

[[File:TFRevolution-bobvsdirewraith.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.5]]

Along with Buster and D.0.C. he greeted the resurrected [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]], {{storylink|The Last Autobot}} before the three engaged his [[Transtector]] body as the Prime went off elsewhere. {{storylink|White Light}} Once that mess was wrapped up, he stood by Sunstreaker during Soundwave's speech about how the Cybertronian race needed to be united. {{storylink|White Heat}}

Months later, he was in [[Pittsburgh]] with D.0.C., Buster, and Thundercracker helping humans evacuate a burning building before [[Marissa Faireborn]] called them to the [[White House]] to help fight the [[Dire Wraith]]s. When the quartet arrived, Bob pounced on the Wraith threatening Marissa, disembowelling it before he proceeded to feast on its remains. The Secret Service was impressed, D.0.C. and the [[President of the United States|President]] less so. He stayed to guard the President until Thundercracker managed to kill the lead Wraith before announcing they were going one a road trip for the Seeker to find himself. {{storylink|Thundercracker & Buster Save the World}}

==Notes==
*Bob was originally going to be called '''Spike''', to create a meta-joke of Rodimus being weirded out because he [[Spike Witwicky (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|knows a Spike]] and so they'd later have a hated traitor called Spike and an adorable pet with the same name. [[Mike Costa]] was told this would be too confusing and IDW affixed the name "Bob" to the dear little buggy-wuggy instead.<ref>[http://moonbase2.libsyn.com/webpage/the-underbase-reviews-ongoing-31 The Underbase podcast interview with Mike Costa ("Special Guest")]</ref>

{{factions|predacon}}

In the [[Generation 1 continuity family]], the '''Predacons''' are a [[Predacon (G1)|sub-faction]] of the [[Decepticon]]s that eventually evolved into its own [[Predacon (BW)|major faction]] after the [[Pax Cybertronia]]. They usually take beastly [[alternate mode]]s, but not always. A few [[Unicron Trilogy]] microcontinuities also have such Predacons.

In the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 franchise)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'' continuity family]], the [[Predacon (RID)|Predacons]] are an apparently small faction of world-conquering robots with beast alt modes, who are later supplemented by a sub-faction of vehicle-based Transformers called [[Decepticon]]s.

In the [[Aligned continuity family]], the [[Predacon (Prime)|Predacons]] are an ancient species of mechanical dragons, extinct until [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]] brings them back to life through evil science.

[[Image:Animated_flip_sides.jpg|right|thumb|Totally not related in any way to [[Rosanna (Animated)|Rosanna]].]]

"'''Flip Sides'''" is [[Blurr (Animated)|Blurr]]'s name for a particular Decepticon spy. She's deep cover, and intelligence reports suggest that she may not even be aware that she is a Decepticon, her actual personality buried deep within her subroutines, hidden behind the false persona that Decepticon spymasters constructed for her. Though nothing is conclusive yet, Blurr believes her to be placed highly within the entertainment guild.

==Notes==
* Flip Sides was first shown as one of the characters [[Derrick J. Wyatt]] created for his April Fools blog in 2009.
* ''[[Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II|The AllSpark Almanac II]]'' hints that she is performing her role as a Decepticon spy under the guise of [[Rosanna (Animated)|Rosanna]].
* Flip Sides wears the [[09262-8765-001]] [[body-type]].

When exactly did we stop using "G1" for Japanese G1 characters? Interrobang has been moving people to (KP) and (Zone) and (Victory) for days, and I don't remember that ever actually being agreed on as the standard - but I also don't necessarily keep up. That being said, I am not the only person to be confused or displeased by these moves, so whatever our standard is, it needs to be explicated a little better. -[[User:LV|LV]] 14:12, 21 June 2009 (EDT)

:I assumed that there was a debate I missed, and sanity lost.
:However I've also over-extended my ration of being pissy at Interrobang recently (I like him!) so I've only been objecting when the changes seem ''exceptionally'' wrong-headed.

== Name of the Brain ==

In the intro section it says the '''Brain of Courage''' disconnects from the Transtector and is called '''Saber'''. I don't think that is correct since in the notes section it says the Brain has no proper name and I thought that '''Saber''' was the name of the robot when not connected to the battle platform power up. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 21:59, 24 August 2009 (EDT)
:No, it says the Brain ''connects'' to the Transtector, and the robot that is formed is called Saber. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 22:12, 24 August 2009 (EDT)

== Caption of the Main Picture, "Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs!", is (Badly!) Incorrect ==

Hi, guys. I don't hang around here, but hopefully I can help. I came across this page while Googling something else, and I saw that the picture of Star Saber is labeled "Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs!", and - after researching the history - found that it has had that caption since September 2006 (proof: http://tfwiki.net/w2/index.php?title=Star_Saber_%28Victory%29&diff=next&oldid=80409 ). Errrmmm...SRatSS is a separate TV show created by the "Voltron" folks at World Events Productions (as seen here: http://wep.com/SaberRider.htm ), and this WEP show has nothing to do with Transformers (unless you count the fact that Peter Cullen's voice is also in Saber Rider). You've had this caption on that picture for 4+ years, but it's incorrect so I thought I should let you know.
:On the off chance this post is legit: Thank you for your concern, but we know. It is a joke caption. We do that here.--[[Special:Contributions/76.28.76.206|76.28.76.206]] 07:39, 5 January 2011 (EST)

[[Image:Victory leo.jpg|right|250px|thumb|He painted the ends of his guns orange to trick the Decepticons into thinking they're toys. Tricky, tricky, tricky...]]
'''Victory Leo''' (ビクトリーレオ ''Bikutorī Reo'') is a wild and powerful Autobot warrior who works alongside [[Star Saber (Victory)|Star Saber]].

{{note|Exactly who Victory Leo is varies between continuities. See below for details.}}

==Fiction==
===Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
====''Victory'' cartoon====
:''Voice actor:'' [[Hiroshi Takemura]] (Japanese)

After the events of the [[Masterforce War]] on Earth, the [[Transtector]] formerly bonded to the human [[Ginrai (robot)|Ginrai]]—now having taken its human partner's name as its own, becoming known as Ginrai itself—joined with the Autobot forces in space, where he became good friends with [[Star Saber (Victory)|Star Saber]] and his adopted human son, [[Jan Minakaze]]. Before long, Star Saber was appointed Supreme Commander of the Autobots, while Ginrai became commander of the Defense Force for Space Sector Two. {{storylink|The Brave Hero of the Universe - Star Saber}} Operating out of a base in the G Nebula, Ginrai's time was occupied battling the Decepticon forces under Overlord's control, so much so that Star Saber occasionally had to respond to emergencies in Sector Two, such as a [[Breastforce]] attack on planet [[Micro]]. {{storylink|Planet Micro - The Mysterious Warrior}}

[[Image:Godginrai vs deathsaurus.jpg|thumb|left|180px]]

Feeling guilty over taking up Star Saber's time in such a manner, Ginrai was quick to come to his aid when the newly reunited Breastforce [[combiner]] [[Liokaiser]] proved too much for Star Saber to handle, {{storylink|Unite! Liokaiser}}and also later when Star Saber was lured into a trap on Earth by Decepticon [[Emperor of Destruction]] [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]]. Confronting Deathsaurus in battle, Ginrai was struck by a blast from the villain's [[Living-Metal-Destroying Cannon]] and badly damaged. {{storylink|A Deadly Battle}}

[[Image:Deadginrai.jpg|right|thumb|180px|Cosplaying as Convoy is a risky business.]]

Despite the best medical efforts of [[Perceptor (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Perceptor]], [[Wheeljack (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Wheeljack]], and [[Minerva (Masterforce robot)|Minerva]], Ginrai's body was left useless and immobile. Due to a slip by Perceptor, however, he learned of the existence of a reconstruction process conceived by Star Saber that would allow him to become a power-up for the Autobot leader. Star Saber refused to allow him to submit to the process, revolted at the notion of using his close friend's body in such a way, but Ginrai insisted. Perceptor and Wheeljack brought his life functions to an end, and then restored him to Star Saber's specifications as '''Victory Leo'''. {{storylink|Ginrai Dies!!}}

An unfortunate side-effect of the process left Victory Leo's mind and body unbalanced; immediately after his transformation, he began to run wild in his lion mode, displaying a more wild, feral nature than God Ginrai ever had, leaving Jan dismayed at the apparent loss of the being he had considered his friend. {{storylink|Fight!! Victory Leo}} When Jan was trapped in a collapsed building as Victory Leo battled the Breastforce, however, his pleas for help reached Victory Leo, and some measure of balance returned to his mind, leading him to rescue Jan. {{storylink|Awaken! Victory Leo}}

[[Image:AwakenVictoryLeo Victory Leo raging cannon.jpg|thumb|left|240px|"Bitches love cannons".]]
When Deathsaurus threatened the Earth with orbital missile strikes if the Autobots interfered in the Decepticons' energy-gathering raids, Victory Leo had to be forcibly held back by the [[Brainmaster]]s to prevent him from attacking their enemies and dooming the planet. Star Saber came to the rescue with a new unification circuit implanted within his body. With this new component, he and Victory Leo could combine their bodies into Victory Saber. In the form of a combined jet, Victory Saber soared into space at a faster rate than Deathsaurus had predicted, and then in their combined robot form, destroyed the satellite controlling the missiles. {{storylink|The Tide Is Turned! The Ultimate Weapon, the Victory Unification}}

When Jan's school was attacked by the Dinoforce, Victory Leo departed from Shuttle Base to defend it, meeting up with Star Saber on the way. They arrived on Earth in time to see Gōryū capture Jan's [[Illumina II|new mech]]. Unable to fight back while the Dinoforce held a hostage, Victory Leo and Star Saber had little choice but to face enemy fire, until Jan unleashed smoke grenades from his mech to escape. The Dinoforce combined into Dinoking, prompting Star Saber and Victory Leo to form Victory Saber and win the day. {{storylink|Jan - Defend the Campus!!}}

[[Image:Victory32 Victory Leo beast mode.jpg|thumb|right|250px|"Let's go Voltron Force!"]]
Despite his proven battle prowess, Victory Leo was still not entirely the being Ginrai had been, retaining a more violent, short-tempered personality which sometimes brought him into conflict with the other Autobots, who, in turn, did not trust him as much as they had Ginrai. When Breastforce member [[Leozack]] impersonated Star Saber, Victory Leo realized that something was wrong, but none of his teammates believed him. Even when Victory Leo tried to stop Leozack from taking Victory Saber's combination information, the Autobots thought he was a traitor, until the real Star Saber showed up and Leozack was exposed, gaining Victory Leo his comrades' trust. {{storylink|A Mystery?! The Deception of the Base Bombs}}

When Deathsaurus finally succeeded in reactivating his colossal, planet-destroying battle fortress, Victory Leo and Star Saber combined into Victory Saber and took to space to try and stop the deadly craft, only to be knocked out by its weapons and crash, unconscious, on its surface. {{storylink|The Wrath of the Resurrected Giant Fortress!}} Recovering as it transformed into its "Destroyer Mode," Victory Saber attacked again but was confronted by Breastforce combiner Liokaiser. At the same time, Jan arrived in his mobile mech with information that could destroy the fortress, and Victory Saber separated so that Star Saber could follow him into the fortress. Victory Leo took on Liokaiser and defeated him by hurling him into the fortress's cannon barrel. Jan then succeeded in beginning the fortress's destruction, and Deathsaurus, defeated by Star Saber, set the craft on a collision course with Earth. Forming Victory Saber once again, the two heroes successfully destroyed the fortress and saved the planet. {{storylink|Showdown! The Fortress vs the Victory Unification}}

When planet [[Feminia]] was being attacked by [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]], [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]], and [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]], Victory Leo accompanied Star Saber, but only as a part of Victory Saber. Victory Saber was rescued by Dai Atlas and Sonic Bomber but the Zone base had been attacked by Overlord, Menasor, Abominus, [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]], and [[Scorponok (G1)#Super-God Masterforce cartoon|BlackZarak]] and the [[Energon Z]] was stolen. Victory Saber put Dai Atlas in charge of the mission to find the Energon and stop the Decepticons.

The pair merged into Victory Saber and destroyed the Decepticons' Solitarium with a single strike, causing the pair to immediately flee the scene. {{storylink|The Victory Warriors Enter!!}}

When Star Saber went back in time to 2004, Victory Leo went with him to help him fight against the Decepticons. They ran afoul of Starscream, and combined into Victory Saber to take the fight up close and personal. It took the arrival of Optimus Prime for the Decepticon Air Commander to be defeated, but at that point, [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Megatron]], [[Gigant Bomb]], and [[Smokesniper]] arrived. Victory Saber kept Gigant Bomb and Smokesniper busy while Prime defeated Megatron with aid from the newly arrived Optimus Primal. {{storylink|Fight! The Group of the Strongest Commanders!}}

When Beast Megatron launched an attack on a human city, Victory Leo flew in Optimus Prime in order to quickly respond to the situation. He then combined once more with Star Saber to take on Gigant Sniper, but disengaged when the two Decepticons likewise split up. As he pursued the Decepticons through the sky, Victory Leo was then blasted by [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity#Robotmasters|Reverse Convoy]], who was really the original Megatron in disguise. Prime and Primal were able to defeat the two Megatrons with the aid of newcomer Lio Convoy, after which Star Saber and Victory Leo linked up in jet mode to carry Prime to the next battle. {{storylink|The Lio Convoy Typhoon Enters (episode)|The Lio Convoy Typhoon Enters}}

===''Victory'' manga===
[[File:Victorymanga07-title.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]

When the father of [[Jan Minakaze|Jan]] and [[Patty Minakaze]], a famed mineralogist, discovered a powerful ore called [[gurunium]], the substance was used to build a new Autobot: Victory Leo. When Dr. Minakaze and his wife were killed in a Decepticon attack, Jan went to go live with [[Star Saber (Victory)|Star Saber]] while Patty went with Victory Leo.

Some years later, as Star Saber fell to a combined attack from [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]], [[Dinoking]], and [[Liokaiser]], Victory Leo at last arrived with Patty as reinforcements. His gurunium body allowed him to merge with Star Saber via the "Victory Combination", allowing the pair to become [[Star Saber (Victory)|Victory Saber]]. {{storylink|The Strongest Partners, the Combination of Victory!}}

To combat the threat of Victory Saber, Deathsaurus forced the slaves of planet [[Guard]] to construct a mech unit for his son called [[Solon Kitakaze (Victory)|King Solon]]. As Victory Saber arrived to free the people of Guard, Deathsaurus combined with King Solon to form [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Kingsaurus]]. The two foes proved to be evenly matched, with their battle raging on for hours, until Solon was momentarily distracted by Patty. Victory Saber then bested Kingsaurus, destroying the King Solon mech unit. {{storylink|Mighty! Victory Saber}}

Soon afterward, Victory Saber, [[Laster]], and [[Braver]] found themselves in a losing battle against Deathsaurus and Liokaiser on [[Earth]]. Luckily, the [[Victories]] arrived (with newest member, Solon) and used their "Five Stars of Victory" attack to transfer their unique abilities into their corresponding Transformer. Patty transferred the power of her ''love'' into Victory Leo, giving him the boost Victory Saber needed to send the Decepticons packing back to their [[Planet-Destroying Fortress|Space Stronghold]]. {{storylink|Shine! The Five Stars of Victory}}

From the Space Stronghold, the Decepticons initiated their all-out attack on Earth. Victory Leo helped fend off the Decepticons as Star Saber took out Deathsaurus (well, really, [[Leozack]] did that) and the [[Breastforce]]. With the battle won, it was revealed that the Decepticons had been fighting for the survival of all the Decepticon civilians living within the Space Stronghold. From atop Victory Leo's shoulder, Patty invited all the Decepticon families to live in peace on [[Victory (planet)|Planet V]]. And so the [[Victory War]] ended. {{storylink|Heroic! The Victory War}}

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

: Victory Leo transforms into a black, yellow, and white robotic winged lion. Both modes are dominated by the missile-firing V-Lock Cannon that rises from his back between his wings in alternate mode, or plugs into his hip in robot mode. A flying alternate mode was created for the character by the production staff of the animated series, and the toy is capable of being configured into this form, though it is just a block with wings on.

:Victory Leo combines with Star Saber, sold separately, to become Victory Saber.

: Victory Leo was also available in a gift set with Star Saber. Victory Leo can combine with Star Saber by plugging into the aft end of his flight mode, thus becoming a huge booster section, or by disassembling and connecting to Star Saber's robot mode. His legs and chest compress into a pair of "platform boots" that connect to the base of Star Saber's feet, while his other components form a winged backpack that aims his twin cannons over Star Saber's shoulders. In this mode, Victory Saber can also wield the V-Lock Rifle.

[[File:G1 Star Saber art variant.jpg|325px|thumb|Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs!]]
Famed throughout the length and breadth of the cosmos as the greatest swordsman in the universe, the heroic '''Star Saber''' (スターセイバー ''Sutā Seibā'') has ascended from humble beginnings to the lofty position of [[Supreme Commander]] of the [[Autobot]]s and head of the interplanetary [[Galactic Peace Alliance|Galactic Defense Force]]. Protector of the weak, defender of the defenceless and lover of life in all its forms, Star Saber's heart [[Burning justice|burns]] with an unending passion for justice and peace unequalled by any other, which drives him to quash evil wherever he finds it, with a cry of "Let's say go!"<ref>"Let's say go" is a Japanese language pun, as it is written with the English word, "Let's", and the Japanese word "seigō" (整合), meaning "coordinate" or "integrate" (as seen in print in "[[Shine! The Five Stars of Victory]]"). As such, it's hard to preserve the pun in translation, so the official DVD releases of the series by [[Metrodome]] and [[Madman Entertainment]] didn't bother, rendering the phrase simply as "Let's say go".</ref> This idealism is perhaps best evidenced in his adoption of the orphaned human child, [[Jan Minakaze]], as his own son, for whom he cares deeply.

Star Saber is a member of the powerful sub-group known as the [[Brainmaster]]s, who possess incredible courage, strength, skill and intelligence. Star Saber exemplifies courage in particular: his smallest robot form is the '''Brain of Courage''' (勇気のブレイン ''Yūki no Brain''), which connects to a [[Transtector]] to become the robot known as '''Saber''' (セイバー ''Seibā''). In either robot or jet mode, Saber connects to the mobile battle platform named the [[V-Star]] with a cry of "Battle Up!" to become Star Saber. Furthermore, in either mode, Star Saber is capable of linking up with his team-mate [[Victory Leo]] to become '''Victory Saber''' (ビクトリーセイバー ''Bikutorī Seibā''). In this form, Star Saber's speed and power are greatly enhanced, but at times, Victory Leo's savage personality can override his calm and collected nature.

In one universe, Star Saber is less "knight in shining armor" and more "knight templar".

[[File:Starsaber deathsaurus first battle.jpg|left|215px|thumb|I know that dragon guy is around here somewhere.]]
As a child, Star Saber was a paragon of good behaviour. He was never greedy, so he never had to sneak food, and he never once wet the bed and got scolded for it. He was, however, still a fun-loving kid, who would zoom around on a skateboard while wearing his bedsheet as a cape.<ref>This description of Star Saber's childhood comes from the lyrics of ''Victory''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s closing [[theme song|theme tune]], "[[Cybertron Banzai]]". While the very notion of Transformers having a childhood that they actually physically grow out of is rather bizarre, resulting in the temptation to not consider the song "canon", the ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory (manga)|Victory]]'' manga ''also'' depicts Star Saber as a child, in an actual, in-story flashback. So if it can happen in the comics, there's really no reason to think that it can't also have been the case in the cartoon.</ref>

Around 500,000 years ago, when Star Saber was a commander in the Autobot army, the powerful [[Decepticon]] warrior [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]] threatened the galaxy with his colossal [[Planet-Destroying Fortress]]. Star Saber led a garrison of Autobots in an assault against the fortress, and battled Deathsaurus personally while his troops planted gravity boosters on the fortress's surface. The boosters de-energized the fortress and trapped it in a gravity cell at the heart of the [[Dark Nebula]], forever earning Star Saber the enmity of Deathsaurus. {{storylink|Resurrection!?

Several years before [[2025]], Star Saber was appointed Supreme Commander of the Autobots, and consulted his friend, [[Ginrai (robot)|God Ginrai]], on whether or not he should take the job. {{storylink|Ginrai Dies!!}} Star Saber accepted the role, and by extension, became head of the [[Galactic Peace Alliance]]'s Galactic Defense Force, dedicated to protecting planets all throughout the galaxy from the renewed threat of the Decepticons under the command of Deathsaurus, who had succeeded in his quest to become [[Emperor of Destruction]]. {{storylink|The Brave Hero of the Universe - Star Saber}} In one of these attacks, a [[human]] spacecraft was destroyed by the [[Dinoforce]], killing all on board, save for a baby that had been placed in an escape pod. Star Saber recovered the child, [[Jan Minakaze]], and adopted him as his own son. {{storylink|Attack! Leozack}}

[[File:Starsaber vehiclemode.jpg|left|215px|thumb|[[Steve Blum|Spike Spiegel's]] weekend ride.]]
In 2025, Deathsaurus's attacks on Earth's sector of space intensified, leading Star Saber to make preparations to leave the Autobots' base on [[Victory (planet)|Planet V]] and personally take command of the defense force unit stationed in Earth's sector. After saving the small frontier community of [[Iron Town]] from a pair of [[Decepticon desperadoes]], Star Saber returned to base to a report of an attack by the Dinoforce on the [[Lunar Base (Victory)|Lunar Base]] on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|moon]] and immediately headed to the scene. As he drew close to the moon, Deathsaurus appeared to bar his way, and the two old foes battled while [[Blacker]], [[Braver]] and [[Laster]] clashed with the Dinoforce. Star Saber broke the fight off when Jan alerted him to the worsening battle on the moon's surface, and he proceeded to dispatch the Dinoforce with ease before Deathsaurus caught up to him and their battle continued. Battling his way through Deathsaurus's [[Breast Animal]]s, Star Saber emerged victorious, and the Decepticons fled. {{storylink|The Brave Hero of the Universe - Star Saber}} The Autobots proceeded to transport the human staff of the damaged Lunar Base back to Earth aboard their [[Rocket Base|Shuttle Base]], but when they came under attack from the Dinoforce again, Star Saber split himself into Saber and the V-Star to defeat their combined robot form of [[Dinoking]]. {{storylink|Sneak Attack! Dinoking}}

[[File:Saber and vstar.jpg|215px|thumb|Anakin built it in a junk yard in a desert.]]
Operating out of the Shuttle Base, Star Saber's Autobots took Earth as a second home of sorts, and staged all their operations from there. Star Saber enrolled Jan at school, flying him there personally for his first day and giving the [[Mabel (Victory)|headmistress]] quite a shock. Unfortunately for everyone, Star Saber's presence at the school attracted the attention of the Decepticon [[Breastforce]]r [[Leozack]], who put the student body in mortal danger when he attacked. Star Saber separated from the V-Star and had Jan use it to carry the students to safety while he tackled Leozack and the Dinoforce. When the students were safe, Saber recombined with the V-Star, and defeated Leozack and Dinoking with the aid of [[Road Caesar]]. {{storylink|Attack! Leozack}}

[[File:Starsaber vs dinoking.jpg|left|215px|thumb|And now we know what killed the dinosaurs.]]
Star Saber later battled Dinoking again at an energy plant, this time with the aid of [[Landcross (Victory)|Landcross]], {{storylink|Unite!! Multiforce}} then went up against Leozack once more at the Ocean Exhibition amusement park, {{storylink|Move Out! Rescue Team}} before battling both opponents yet again at a uranium mine. {{storylink|Infiltration... The Uranium Mine}} Later, when Blacker and the [[Multiforce]] investigated a Decepticon energy base in the Amazon jungle, Star Saber became concerned when he was unable to contact them, and sped to their aid, helping them to dispatch the villains. {{storylink|Explosion!! The Energy Base}}

[[File:Starsaber vs breastanimals.jpg|215px|thumb|This is why you don't get out of the car in a safari park.]]
When the Breastforce began draining electrical energy from a major American subway system, Star Saber proved too large to venture into the tunnels to investigate, and had to divide into Saber and the V-Star to proceed. Investigating the power distribution centre, Saber was confronted by Deathsaurus, and in the cramped quarters of the building, proved to be no match for the villain's nimble Breast Animals. Directing the V-Star to crash into Deathsaurus, Saber forced the Decepticon to block the craft, thereby leaving his unprotected chest open for attack and allowing Saber to impale him with his sword. Thus wounded, Deathsaurus fled, leaving Saber victorious once more. {{storylink|Big City - Underground Terror}}

[[File:Saber robotmode.jpg|left|215px|thumb|Behold! Galva—wait, no.]]
When Leozack called in his newest Breastforce recruit [[Hellbat (Victory)|Hellbat]], Star Saber went up against the pair several times, joining the other Autobots in battling through Hellbat's hypnotic waves, {{storylink|The New Warrior - Hellbat}} and splitting into Saber and the V-Star to take on the two at once when they stole energy from a Nevada spaceport. {{storylink|Attack the Shuttle Base!!}} Star Saber later joined with the Brainmasters in saving [[Marine City]] from the threat of a neutron bomb, giving Blacker the V-Star so he could search for the bomb while he battled Leozack as Saber. {{storylink|Tanker Hijack Operation}} Later, while Star Saber was busy leading the Autobots in an attack against Leozack and most of the Breastforce, Hellbat kidnapped Jan and [[Holi]]. Jan proved resourceful enough to escape his cell and contact Star Saber, who came to his rescue, defeating Dinoking by collapsing a mountain on him. {{storylink|Rescue Jan!!}} Not long after, Star Saber and the Multiforce thwarted a Decepticon hydroelectric power-gathering scheme. {{storylink|Mach and Tackle}}

The strange disappearance of several spaceships while passing through the asteroid belt led Star Saber to investigate, disguising himself as an ordinary spacecraft with a large exoskeleton. Venturing into the asteroid belt, Star Saber discovered that the vanishing ships were the work of the Decepticons when the villains caught him in a tractor beam. Luckily, he avoided detection long enough to summon the other Autobots to his location, and bested the Breastforce single-handed in the ensuing battle. {{storylink|A Fierce Battle!! The Asteroid}}

[[File:Starsaber vs liokaiser.jpg|215px|thumb|Do I hear a banjo?]]
When the occupied God Ginrai was unable to respond to an attack by Hellbat and [[Black Shadow (Victory)|two]] [[Blue Bacchus|mercenaries]] in his employ on the planet [[Micro]], Star Saber was forced to travel to the planet to investigate. With the aid of [[Greatshot]], Star Saber defeated the villains, but had pushed his strength to its limit to wrench an overloading power plant from its moorings with his bare hands and fly it into space to prevent the devastation its explosion would have caused. {{storylink|Planet Micro - The Mysterious Warrior|Planet Micro - The Mysterious Warrior}} Soon after, the Breastforce attacked the [[Planet Micro Satellite Penitentiary]] in an attempt to free their comrade [[Guyhawk]], and despite fighting hard, Star Saber was unable to prevent the Decepticons' escape. {{storylink|Rescue! Guyhawk}} With all six of their members now together, the Breastforce were able to combine into the terrifying [[Liokaiser]], who was actually able to hand Star Saber his first real defeat. Indeed, Star Saber would have died at Liokaiser's hands had God Ginrai not arrived in time to rescue him. {{storylink|Unite! Liokaiser}}

[[File:Starsaber living metal destroying cannon.jpg|left|thumb|Not a Buster!]]
Star Saber stared death in the face once again on the return trip to Earth when he was attacked by Deathsaurus and confronted by the emperor's deadly [[Living-Metal-Destroying Cannon]]. Although Deathsaurus actually pulled the trigger on what would have been a fatal blast, it was simple luck for Star Saber that Deathsaurus had already used up too much of his personal energy supply, leaving the cannon unable to fire. {{storylink|Resurrection!? The Decepticon Fortress}} Once back on Earth, Star Saber steeled himself for another confrontation with Liokaiser, and found himself having to soothe the fears of Jan, who was having nightmares of his father's demise. When Liokaiser struck again at the [[Schaeffer Energy]] production plant, Star Saber held his own in the fight, but a definitive outcome was not to be had, since Deathsaurus ordered a retreat when the plant's energy was successfully stolen. {{storylink|Battle Up of Wrath!!}} Another battle between Star Saber and Liokaiser soon followed, this time at the South Pole, where Star Saber was again defeated by the combiner, and would have met his end had Deathsaurus not interrupted and attempted to claim the honor for himself. This momentary distraction allowed Star Saber to turn the tables and defeat Deathsaurus while an insulted Liokaiser did nothing but watch his leader lose. {{storylink|Fight to the Death!! Antarctic Battle}}

[[File:Victory30 victorysaber.jpg|thumb|Stand up to the Victory!]]
When a battle with Deathsaurus in the desert left Star Saber and Blacker wounded, {{storylink|Crisis! Ambush in the Desert}} the Decepticons capitalized upon the Autobots' lack of manpower by stepping up their attacks, until Star Saber was left with no option but to enter battle despite his injuries. Confronted by Deathsaurus and Liokaiser in a subterranean cave in Asia, Star Saber was once again saved from the brink of death by God Ginrai, who took the shot meant for his friend. {{storylink|A Deadly Battle}} Fatally wounded with no hope of repair, Ginrai insisted that Star Saber allow him to be deactivated and rebuilt using a power-up design the commander had created. Star Saber was revolted at the notion of using his friend's body in such a way, but Ginrai would not relent, {{storylink|Ginrai Dies!!}} and was reconstructed by [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]], [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] and [[Minerva (Masterforce robot)|Minerva]] as [[Victory Leo]]. {{storylink|Fight!! Victory Leo}} Star Saber then had the scientists implant a combination circuit in his head, which would allow him to merge with Victory Leo. {{storylink|Awaken! Victory Leo}} The duo successfully accomplished this combination for the first time when Deathsaurus was bombarding the Earth with missiles from space; together, they became Victory Saber, outraced Deathsaurus's missiles, destroyed his launcher and defeated him in battle. {{storylink|The Tide Is Turned! The Ultimate Weapon, the Victory Unification}}

[[File:Victory31 dinoforcespared.jpg|left|215px|thumb|Remember kids, don't walk away from your problems.]]
Star Saber was in space seeing Perceptor off when the Dinoforce attacked Jan's school, leaving the boy to defend his friends as best he could in his mech, the [[Illumina II]], before Star Saber was able to come to his aid. After defeating Dinoking, however, Star Saber was surprised to have the battered Dinoforce troops clutch at his legs and throw themselves in his path in an attempt to save their leader, [[Goryu (Victory)|Goryu]]. Touched by this genuine display of camaraderie, Star Saber sheathed his sword and told Goryu to be sure to heal properly for their next battle. {{storylink|Jan - Defend the Campus!!}}

While Star Saber was attending a Galactic Peace Alliance conference, Leozack attempted to exploit the Autobots' trust of their leader by donning an exoskeleton in his likeness and posing as him in order to obtain information on his combination with Victory Leo. As it happened, only Victory Leo smelled a rat, and in time, the real Star Saber returned to combine with his partner and expose the phoney to the other Autobots. {{storylink|A Mystery?! The Deception of the Base Bombs}} Later, Jan used the Illumina II to help save Star Saber from the Decepticons' latest threat, the metal-eating [[Doriya]] insects. {{storylink|The Death-Bringing Space Insects!!}}

[[File:Victory37 finalblow.jpg|215px|thumb|"Swords! My only weakness...for now."]]
A month later, after no further Decepticon attacks, Star Saber and the Autobots were suddenly forced to go into action when the Decepticons raised [[Atlantis]] off the coast of [[Portugal]]. Disasters caused by the tidal waves the raising of the continent had created kept the Autobots occupied with relief efforts, allowing the Decepticons to steal enough of Atlantis's energy to finally re-power Deathsaurus's fortress. {{storylink|The Terror of the Giant Tidal Waves}} Greatshot and the Brainmasters headed out to serve as the first line of defence against the fortress, while Star Saber and Victory Leo found themselves delayed by the Dinoforce, who had—unbeknownst even to themselves—been abandoned on Earth by Deathsaurus. As Victory Saber and Dinoking battled, the fortress began bombarding the Earth with meteor bombs, one of which struck Dinoking and ended the battle. Victory Saber proceeded to head into space to confront the fortress, but was blasted by its weapons and crashed on its surface, unconscious. {{storylink|The Wrath of the Resurrected Giant Fortress!}}

[[File:Victory37 saberfireguts.jpg|left|215px|thumb|Oh crap, Hate Plague!]]
Victory Saber did not regain consciousness until the fortress was nearly upon the Earth, and immediately renewed his attack on the massive weapon, leading Deathsaurus to dispatch Liokaiser to keep Victory Saber busy. Just as the two combatants engaged each other, Jan arrived on the scene in the Illumina II, having been giving information on the fortress's weak spot by Goryu, who had realized that Deathsaurus had abandoned him and his troops. Star Saber separated from Victory Leo, leaving his partner to deal with Liokaiser while he covered his son's entrance into the fortress. Within the fortress, Star Saber faced off against Deathsaurus for their final brutal battle, eventually besting his eternal foe just as Jan succeeded in destroying the fortress's weapon power core. Deathsaurus refused to accept defeat, and sealed Star Saber in the fortress, setting it on collision course with Earth, but with help from Victory Leo, Star Saber escaped. The pair then merged into Victory Saber and, burning with flaming energy, tore the fortress apart from within, causing it to explode in a cosmic firestorm before it collided with Earth. Although the pair initially seemed as through they were destroyed in the conflagration, both Star Saber and Victory Leo emerged from its ashes, just as victorious as their name. {{storylink|Showdown!

At the instruction of the [[Sparkbot]]s, [[Shaoshao Li]] travelled forward in time from [[2007]] to witness Star Saber's final attack against Deathsaurus's fortress in 2025.

[[File:Victorysaber feminia destruction.jpg|215px|thumb|Alright, who ordered the barbecued Victory Saber extra fresh?]]
Some time after the defeat of Deathsaurus, the supernatural entity known as [[Violen Jiger]] took control of the Decepticon forces and amassed an army of [[Nine Great Demon Generals]] from Decepticon history. When these generals attacked the planet [[Feminia]], Star Saber and Victory Leo merged into Victory Saber and headed for the planet with [[Galaxy Shuttle]] and the [[Rescue Patrol Team]] to do what they could for the inhabitants. Victory Saber saved a native boy named [[Cain]] from falling into a pit of lava as the ground beneath his feet collapsed, and got him to the Galaxy Shuttle in time to evacuate, but he was unable to get to safety himself, and was caught in the planet's explosion and feared dead by his troops.

Two-and-a-half months later, Victory Saber's body was discovered floating in space, badly damaged but alive, by the Autobot [[Powered Master]]s [[Dai Atlas (Zone)|Dai Atlas]] and [[Sonic Bomber]]. They brought him to planet [[Micro|Zone]] for medical treatment, before heading on to Earth to defeat the Demon Generals that were in the process of attacking the planet. Impressed by Dai Atlas's skill in battle, Star Saber held a ceremony to appoint Dai Atlas the new Supreme Commander of the Autobots. {{storylink|Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!}}
{{-}}

====''Robotmasters''====
Some time after Dai Atlas's eventual defeat of Violen Jiger, Star Saber and Victory Leo set about tracking down the Decepticon criminal, [[Gigant Bomb]]. In the course of the pursuit, all three warriors travelled through the mysterious dimensional fissure known as the [[Blasty Zone]] and were cast through space and time, to arrive on Earth in [[2004]]. Star Saber and Victory Leo aligned themselves with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] and various other Autobots from throughout space and time to prevent the Decepticons from acquiring the power of [[Solitarium]], and eventually returned to their home time when the task was done.

{{note| ''Robotmasters'' is explicitly placed in the Japanese cartoon continuity, after ''Zone'', by [[Generation 1 cartoon timeline (Japan)|Takara's 2007 Transformers timeline]]. However, none of the three pieces of actual ''Robotmasters'' fiction tells the story of the line in its entirety, and each of them relate certain events in notably different ways. Precisely ''which'' of the three—covered individually below—should be considered the [[canon]] one for the cartoon timeline is unknown.}}

A Solitarium-empowered Gigant Bomb, now partnered with the Decepticon [[Smokesniper]], had Optimus Prime, [[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Optimus Primal]], [[Bound Rogue]], and [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]] on the ropes, until Star Saber and Victory Leo suddenly appeared on the battlefield and vowed to rip their bodies apart. The pair merged into Victory Saber and destroyed their Solitarium with a single strike, causing the two Decepticons to immediately flee the scene. Star Saber then properly introduced himself to Prime and Primal, declaring it an honor to meet them, and that together, they would surely defeat [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Megatron]]. {{storylink|The Victory Warriors Enter!!}}

Investigating the decay of planets across the galaxy, Star Saber and Victory Leo came across the [[Blasty Zone]], and a vortex of negative energy surrounding [[Earth]] on the other side of the Zone. After crossing the distortion into the year [[2004]], Star Saber surveyed Earth and came across the Decepticon [[Smokesniper]]. Star Saber battled Smokesniper one-on-one and defeated his opponent, only to be attacked from behind and disarmed by [[Gigant Bomb]]. Gigant Bomber and Smokesniper combined into [[Gigant Sniper]] and opened fire on Star Saber, {{storylink|Go! Star Saber}} but Victory Leo soon came to his aid, and the pair fused into Victory Saber for round two of the duel. The Decepticons were defeated and Victory Saber joined the Autobots native to the era. {{storylink|Bonds Stronger than Steel}}

When [[Lio Convoy]] arrived through the Blasty Zone, Megatron directed him to attack Star Saber and Victory Leo, who once again combined to fight back. {{storylink|The Lio Convoy Typhoon Enters (issue)|The Lio Convoy Typhoon Enters}} Luckily, Optimus Prime arrived to break up the fight and make the combatants realize they belonged to the same side, and together, Star Saber, Victory Leo, Prime, Primal, and Lio Convoy sent the Decepticons packing. {{storylink|Together, the 4 Great Supreme Commanders}}

When an injured robot named "[[Reverse Convoy]]" appeared on Earth, Star Saber and the Autobots brought him to their base for medical aid. {{storylink|Strategic Meeting: The Mysterious New Warrior}} Their trusting natures proved to be their downfall, however, when this so-called Convoy turned out to be the original [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] in a new guise. In a trap, he captured Optimus Prime, Optimus Primal, Victory Leo, and Mirage, and shot down Star Saber when he attempted to rescue them, but was bested by the sudden entrance of Lio Convoy. {{storylink|The Dark Emperor of Destruction, Reborn}}

Victory Saber later joined Prime, Primal and Lio Convoy in battling both Megatrons, [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]], [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]], and [[Thundercracker (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Thundercracker]]. Unsurprisingly, they claimed victory once again and the power of [[solitarium]] allowed Star Saber and his contemporaries to return to their native time. {{storylink|And Then}}

While investigating a mysterious explosion, Star Saber came under attack from Starscream, who scored two missile hits on the future-born Autobot. Unable to hit Starscream with his own guns, Star Saber summoned Victory Leo, and the pair combined into Victory Saber to take the fight up close and personal. It took the arrival of Optimus Prime for the Decepticon Air Commander to be defeated, but at that point, Megatron, Gigant Bomb, and Smokesniper arrived. Victory Saber kept Gigant Bomb and Smokesniper busy while Prime defeated Megatron with aid from the newly arrived Optimus Primal. After Megatron was defeated, the three commanders agreed to continue the fight against the new Decepticons/Predacons and protect Earth's Solitarium. {{storylink|Fight!

Later, when the Decepticons attacked a city, Star Saber was a bit late to the game, arriving merged with Victory Leo to attack Gigant Bomb and Smokesniper. The pair promptly disengaged, only to be shot by new arrival Reverse Convoy, who revealed that he was, in fact, the original Megatron in disguise. Prime and Primal were able to defeat the two Megatrons with the aid of newcomer Lio Convoy, after which Star Saber and Victory Leo linked up in jet mode to carry Prime to the next battle. {{storylink|The Lio Convoy Typhoon Enters (episode)|The Lio Convoy Typhoon Enters}}

The Autobots were tasked by the [[United Nations]] to go undercover in the [[Middle East]] to uncover an underworld market working in alliance with the [[Decepticon]]s. Taking advantage of the Decepticons' ignorance of future Autobots, [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] sent Star Saber and Victory Leo, disguised with "optical camouflage" that could only last six hours. Their weapons were modulated as to not cause any unnecessary human causalities, and a cover story of the duo seceding from the Autobots was provided.<ref>''Robotmasters'' Victory Saber Limited Black Version bio</ref>

Bad move, as Reverse Convoy soon revealed himself to actually be [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Rebirth Megatron]] incognito. Rebirth Megatron captured Victory Saber, Optimus Prime, and Optimus Primal, sapping them of their energy. Victory Saber and the others were soon rescued by [[Lio Convoy]] and [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|an alternate reality Optimus Prime]].

[[File:MangaYoungDeathyStarSaber.jpg|left|upright=1.2|thumb]]
Star Saber and Deathsaurus's rivalry began when they were children 500,000 years ago, and argued all the time. {{storylink|The Star of Friendship, Jan and Star Saber!}} That rivalry came to a true head in 2025, when Deathsaurus began attacking the Earth in pursuit of the energy required to keep his gigantic "Space Stronghold" powered up. {{storylink|Heroic! The Victory War}} In response to Deathsaurus's first attack, Star Saber led the Multiforce to Earth, and made short work of Deathsaurus by cleaving his shoulder with his Saber Blade. As the Decepticon emperor retreated, Star Saber made a vow to protect the beauty of Earth's nature for all mankind. {{storylink|Magnificent! Our Friend, Star Saber!}}

[[File:Super saber meteor spin.jpg|thumb]]
Earth's nature proved to be the very next thing that Deathsaurus attacked, when he started a forest fire and defeated Landcross. Star Saber and Road Caesar came to their friend's aid, but were unprepared for the new strength Deathsaurus had drawn from the energy of the fire. Luckily, Deathsaurus was distracted when his own cyborg-human son, [[Solon Kitakaze (Victory)|Solon]], arrived with Jan in a deadly hold, and Star Saber exploited the opening to flatten Deathsaurus with a "Super Saber Meteor Spin". {{storylink|Great Turn-Around! Star Saber}}

After Jan alerted him to an attack on an Earth city by the Decepticon Leozack, Star Saber came speeding to the rescue, only to be knocked from the sky by the villain's electromagnetic nunchaku. Unfortunately for Leozack, he had forgotten to bring his Breast Animal into battle with him that day, allowing Star Saber to puncture his unprotected torso with his sword and send him fleeing. {{storylink|Leozack Rumbles Violently!}} The rest of the Breastforce didn't do much better in a later battle against Star Saber, and neither did inept Dinoforcer [[Kakuryu]], who was hurled over a cliff by a "Saber Vacuum Tornado Pacifier" from the Autobot commander. As he dangled on the cliff's edge, however, Kakuryu was shocked when Star Saber pulled him to safety, displaying once more the compassion and love of life that made him worthy of the role of Supreme Commander. {{storylink|Warrior of Love, Star Saber!}}

[[File:Starsaber and jean manga.jpg|left|thumb]]
When Deathsaurus kidnapped Jan and took him to the Decepticons' ''[[Thunder Arrow]]'' out in space, an enraged Star Saber gave chase and came tearing through the ship's hull. Deathsaurus didn't take Jan's rejection well, but couldn't stand up to Star Saber's shattering "Planetary Impulse Sword Death-Strike" attack. {{storylink|Watch Out, Jan! Hurry, Star Saber!}} Although the reunion between Star Saber and Jan was a happy one, tempers soon flared between the two of them when they pursued the Decepticon to [[Energy Planet X]], only to lose their trail and start blaming each other. When they were attacked by the lurking Liokaiser, Star Saber disengaged from the V-Star, and allowed Jan to take control of it, transforming it into battle station mode and opening fire on Liokaiser. Saber delivered the final blow that drove the villains into retreat, and the two heroes apologized to each other, realizing that if they couldn't work together, they'd wind up like the Decepticons. {{storylink|The Star of Friendship, Jan and Star Saber!}}

[[File:Victorysaber manga.jpg|thumb]]
Attacked by Deathsaurus, Dinoking and Liokaiser all at once, Star Saber was defeated and would have met his end if not for the sudden appearance of the new, feral Autobot, Victory Leo. Star Saber found he could combine with the newcomer, and together, they became Victory Saber and defeated the Decepticons with their "Flash Victory" attack. {{storylink|The Strongest Partners, the Combination of Victory!}} Deathsaurus tried to create a counter-force for this powerful new combination, creating a mech for Solon with which he could combine to become "Kingsaurus", but when Solon lost focus during a battle on the planet [[Guard]], Victory Saber destroyed his mech with a "Victory Boomberang" attack. {{storylink|Mighty! Victory Saber}} Later, with the power of the Autobot boy-team, the [[Victories]], increasing their own energy, Victory Saber and Road Caesar combined their powers into the "Victory Caliber" attack, which grievously wounded Deathsaurus and Liokaiser in one shot. {{storylink|Shine! The Five Stars of Victory}}

[[File:Starsaber deathsaurus truce.jpg|left|thumb]]
After this definitive battle, Deathsaurus withdrew his forces to the Space Stronghold and began bombarding Earth with meteorites. Star Saber engaged Deathsaurus in a battle in space while the rest of his troops entered the massive fortress, but the treacherous Leozack had been planning for this moment, and turned the power of the fortress's main cannon on Deathsaurus himself. Deathsaurus survived the blast and crippled the fortress with his own weapons, allowing Star Saber to come crashing through the control room window and unleash his Planetary Impulse Sword on Leozack. Leozack begged Star Saber not to destroy the fortress, at which point the injured Deathsaurus chose to reveal the true reason for his energy-gathering attacks on Earth to the Autobots: the fortress was, in fact, home to the Decepticon civilians, and they required the energy to keep the fortress functional for them to live in. Star Saber realized that it was time to set aside their warring ways and follow the example set by Jan and Solon. With a handshake between the two leaders, the [[Victory War]] came to an end, bringing peace to everyone—the truest victory of all! {{storylink|Heroic! The Victory War}}

Some time after the end of the Victory war, a new energy source known as [[Energon Z]] was developed on planet Micro. Knowing that the Decepticons—who had since fallen under the command of the supernatural being Violen Jiger—would want the energy for their own nefarious purposes, Star Saber ordered the fortification of Micro into a defense base that could properly protect its precious new innovation. Employing a process developed by the [[Super Car Patrol Team]], the Autobot space pioneers known as the Powered Masters rebuilt Micro as the planet "Zone". {{storylink|Fight!

===''Transformers GT: Mission GT-R''===
[[File:GT-R Saber.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.4]]
In a world where the Transformers' war settled into a series of friendly competitive races known as the [[Transformers GT]], Star Saber became the [[GT Transformer]] known as '''GT-R Saber'''. A hot-blooded combatant, his main tactic in one-on-one races was to transform into [[robot mode]] and use his [[Gas-Fill-Blade]] to slice apart his opponent's drivetrain. Like other racers, GT-R Saber put a limit on his own strength by separating his Matrix into a [[GT Sister]], creating his partner [[Anna]].

====''Story of Transformers GT''====
On the day before the Transformers GT began, GT-R Saber went out for a test run and found himself racing with the similarly practicing [[Optimus Prime (G1)|GT-R Prime]]. Towards the end of the race, Prime transformed into robot mode: assuming he was preparing to fight, Saber transformed as well, only for Prime to turn back into car mode and finish the race while his opponent was distracted. {{storylink|Test Run Battle! –Prelude–}} Saber was determined to get back at Prime in the actual race the next day, finding support in Anna who advised him to target Prime as his victories had likely made him careless. As soon as the race started, Saber blindsided Prime and sent him flying, allowing him to take first place. {{storylink|First Fast Attack! –Whoever Strikes First Wins–}} Lagging behind as the race went on, he found himself behind [[Megatron (G1)|GT-R Megatron]] and sped towards him for an attack, only to be blasted by his opponent's [[EX. Cannon]] and spin out of control. {{storylink|One Shot and One Kill!! –Finishing Blow–}}

====Comic====
GT-R Saber was racing against [[Optimus Prime (G1)|GT-R Prime]] and [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|GT-R Maximus]], being goaded on by Anna on the sidelines, when the race was interrupted by the arrival of the ruthless [[Megatron (G1)|GT-R Megatron]]. An offended Saber threw a punch at the intruder, who effortlessly dodged it and declared his intent to crush all racers inferior to him. In the end, GT-R Prime put a stop to the battle by persuading Megatron to race the three of them instead. {{storylink|Transformers GT: Mission GT-R (comic)|Transformers GT: Mission GT-R}}

====Story pages====
Like other racers, GT-R Saber attended photo shoots alongside Anna in order to promote coexistence between humans and Transformers. {{storylink|Transformers GT: Mission GT-R (story page)|The Work of the GT Sister Race Queens?}} When a reincarnated [[Unicron]] attacked the Transformers GT finals and absorbed the huge [[energon]] pool saved up for the final prize, Saber restored his true power by using the "Matrix In" process to recombine with Anna. Together with the other powered up racers, he fought and defeated Unicron, saving Earth. {{storylink|Transformers GT: Mission GT-R (story page)|The True TFGT}}

===IDW Generation 1 continuity===
[[File:StarSaber TheDividedSelf.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|left|Not so much "[[burning justice|BURNING JUSTICE]]" anymore as "BURNING HERETICS".]]
Star Saber was part of the [[Circle of Light]] {{storylink|Remain in Light 4 of 5: Arm the Lonely|Arm the Lonely}} and known as a religious fanatic, proposing an "atheist holocaust". Part of his religious efforts included trying to turn the Circle over to his ideology, only to be rejected by [[Dai Atlas (Zone)|Dai Atlas]]. Documentaries were made about his holy wars, giving him the nickname of the "Dark Evangelist". Circle of Light member [[Drift (G1)|Drift]] was aware of the stories surrounding him, relaying them to [[Hot Rod (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Rodimus]] when they were together on the ''[[Lost Light]]''. {{storylink|Remain in Light 3 of 5: The Divided Self|The Divided Self}}

Star Saber later fell in with [[Tyrest (G1)|Chief Justice Tyrest]], betraying the Circle of Light by opening their [[Crystal City]] to an attack by Tyrest's [[Legislator]]s. {{storylink|Remain in Light 4 of 5: Arm the Lonely|Arm the Lonely}} Once in Tyrest's inner circle, Star Saber helped him with his operations on [[Moonbase One|Luna 1]]. When Minimus Ambus disappointed Tyrest in his performance as [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Ultra Magnus]], the Chief Justice decided to appoint Star Saber as the new enforcer of the [[Tyrest Accord]] in Ultra Magnus's place. {{storylink|Remain in Light 3 of 5: The Divided Self|The Divided Self}}

When the ''Lost Light'' arrived on Luna 1, Star Saber joined the [[Legislator]] attack on the ship, seeking out the "criminal" and "apostate" [[Skids (G1)|Skids]]. After stabbing Skids through the torso and knocking out [[Swerve (G1)|Swerve]], {{storylink|Remain in Light 2 of 5: House of Ambus|House of Ambus}} he had both teleported to a Luna 1 jail cell containing Rodimus and some of the ''Lost Light'' crew. Star Saber was soon there to bring another prisoner from the [[variable voltage harness]]—Skids' partner in crime, [[Getaway]]. {{storylink|Remain in Light 3 of 5: The Divided Self|The Divided Self}}

[[File:StarSaber Primushatesyou ArmtheLonely.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|"Nobody is innocent, there are merely varying levels of guilt."]]

Soon after, the captive members of the Circle of Light broke free and Star Saber personally attended to the riot. There, he crossed [[Great Sword]]s with Dai Atlas before plunging a fist into his former leader's chest and coldly crushing his [[spark]]. {{storylink|Remain in Light 4 of 5: Arm the Lonely|Arm the Lonely}}

Star Saber proceeded to tear through the members of the Circle of Light, demanding worthy challengers. [[Cyclonus (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Cyclonus]] answered his call and engaged the enforcer, who quickly gained the upper hand. Star Saber was about to execute his opponent and questioned his reasons for fighting, to which Cyclonus answered to it being personal and turned the tables by stabbing one of Star Saber's eyes with his remaining horn. Cyclonus moved in for the killing blow as the blinded warrior held his damaged eye in pain, but Saber managed to teleport to safety before it could be delivered. {{storylink|Remain in Light 5 of 5: This Calamitous Life|This Calamitous Life}}

When Getaway's reign over the ''[[Lost Light]]'' began to falter, he hired Star Saber to serve as the ship's new chief of security in spite of their past relationship, luring him with the promise of a rematch against Cyclonus. Star Saber arrived just as the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]], [[Riptide]], [[Mirage (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Mirage]], and [[Thunder Clash|Thunderclash]] were making their escape. He immediately shot Thunderclash, and then proceeded to hideously murder Mirage and cut down the non-believing [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]], but was prevented from finishing off [[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]], Riptide, and the injured Thunderclash when [[Atomizer]] shot him with a [[nudge gun]]. {{storylink|The Plotters' Club (Part 3): Journey's End|Journey's End}}

===Ask Vector Prime===
When asked who was the greatest Cybertronian swordmaster he had met, [[Vector Prime]] noted Star Saber to be a master sword-user. Vector Prime also noted that though relatively rare in the multiverse, there were realities where Star Saber became a [[Prime (rank)|Prime]], or more commonly, was upgraded into '''Saber Convoy'''. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/08/26}}

Star Saber was a member of the Circle of Light on a quest to find a peaceful place to call home. He found the AWOL Decepticon Deadlock, whom he returned to the Circle's base. When [[Lockdown (G1)|Lockdown]] came looking for Deadlock, Star Saber and the other members of the Circle fought the bounty hunter, and as a result, Deadlock turned over a new leaf, changing his name to Drift and joining their group. {{storylink|Circle of Light (Legends)|Circle of Light}}
===''Transformers: Earth Wars''===
[[File:StarSaberEarthWars.jpg|thumb|upright=1.75| I fight for Peace! Justice! And better graphics!]]

Famed as one of the greatest cyber-swordsmen in the known universe, Star Saber fought his way up through the ranks, from footsoldier to commander, driven by a flaming passion for justice and peace, and a commitment to the Autobot cause to rival that of Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars| Star Saber Bio}}

When the Autobots broke through the [[trithyllium]] doors of the Deception [[Planet-Destroying Fortress]] in the Arctic, Blaster detected a faint signal from a spaceship in the vicinity. Star Saber gave a warning not to enter the fortress because [[Deathsaurus (Victory)#Transformers: Earth Wars| Deathsaurus]] was in there, and Optimus Prime took heed. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars| Arctic Saga - What Lies Beneath}}

When Star Saber finally met the Autobots face to face, he explained to them who Deathsaurus was. Soon they detected that the fortress energy levels were rising. The Fortress wasn't not activating, but was about to self-destruct. Everyone was able to evacuate. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars| Arctic Saga - Monster Within}}

Later, after he joined the Autobots through the Space Bridge, he assumed that the planet was "covered in a brittle exo-skin". Prowl corrected him that the "exo-skin" was actually ice which covers only parts of the Earth. He's a bit dull as Ultra Magnus, as he ranted on how he will not rest in finding Deathsaurus, much to Prowl's chagrin, and mentioned that he lectured at the [[Autobot Academy]], much to Jazz's boredom.

He later told Prowl the reason he spent so much time in the Arctic was that he was looking for his Saber Blade, which is better than the spare he currently wields. So Prowl and Jazz go with Star Saber to find it.

In the Arctic, he was startled by a [[polar bear]], and prepared to defend the others. Jazz told him that it is more scared of him than he is of it, and he replied that he was Justice Warrior of the Year three years in a row.

Soon he ran into Deathsaurus, and he immediately assumed he remained on Earth to conquer and oppress. Deathsaurus responded he was just looking for his lost weapons, but Star Saber would not let him pass. It seemed to Deathsaurus that he was trying to talk him to death.

Months later after his return from the Arctic, he came across Grimlock and the Space Bridge, newly modified as a doorway through time. He felt the presence of a [[Optimus Primal (BW)#Transformers: Earth Wars|Prime]] in the making. {{storylink|Transformers: Earth Wars/Events|A Stitch in Time}}

==Toys==
===Victory===
[[File:G1 Saber toy.jpg|thumb|Tall.]]
*'''Star Saber''' (Large Brainmaster, 1989)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-324'''
**''Accessories'': "Brain of Courage" Brainmaster figure, "V-Star" ship/body, nosecone/shield/sword hilt, "Saber Blade", "Saber Laser"

:Star Saber transforms into a large red, blue, and white Cybertronic spacecraft with numerous features and modes.

:The forward section of the spacecraft, "Saber", can detach from the larger spacecraft body (known by itself as the V-Star) to form a smaller red fighter jet, the cockpit of which houses the small Brainmaster figure, the "Brain of Courage". When Saber transforms into robot mode, the Brain of Courage is placed within his chest; when the chest is closed, the figure rises up to become Saber's face. The jet nosecone mounts on Saber's shoulder as a shield, and he can wield the "Saber Laser" rifle.

[[File:G1 StarSaber toy.jpg|right|225px|thumb|Grande.]]
:In grand Autobot leader tradition, the V-Star ship transforms into a battle station which Saber can man, and then into a larger body with which Saber can combine, forming "Star Saber". Saber slots into the empty chest area of the V-Star body, with his normal robot head forming Star Saber's ordinary, unmasked head, which is the appearance he commonly employs in fiction when he is not in battle. His battle helmet, featuring an Optimus-Prime-style mouthplate, is connected to the V-Star, and can swing up to fit over Saber's head.

:In Star Saber mode, Saber's nosecone/shield becomes a sword hilt. The chromed "Saber Blade" of the sword stores in a slot in Star Saber's back, and is drawn by inserting the hilt into the slot and withdrawing it, an action which brings the blade with it, and which is regularly used to dramatic effect in the ''Victory'' animated series. He can also wield the Saber Laser.

:Star Saber can further combine with Victory Leo to form Victory Saber in both vehicle and super [[robot mode]]s. (see below).

:The Victory Saber gift set is a two-pack of Star Saber and Victory Leo. In Victory Saber [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]], Victory Leo "transforms" into a large yellow block with wings, and connects into the rear between Star Saber's engines/legs, forming a huge-ass space ship.

:For Victory Saber robot mode, Victory Leo splits up into multiple parts, with most of Leo's body becoming "platform shoes" for Star Saber and the rest of him forming a giant backpack/weapons system from hell. As Victory Saber, the Star Saber robot is armed with his sword and Victory Leo's giant missile-firing "V-Lock Cannon".

*'''Star Saber''' (1989)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-324'''
**''Accessories:'' "Saber Laser", red wings, blue tailfins, cardboard nosecone

:''[[Transform Jr]]'' Star Saber is an immensely simplified version of the larger figure—and that's no exaggeration. His Brainmaster gimmick and the V-Star's base mode are eliminated, and there is virtually no element of actual transformation left in the figure. Saber's jet mode wings are a separate piece that is removed, as are the V-Star's tailfins, and to combine the pair, rather than fold up Saber's legs, you simply pull them off and plug them into his chest. None of that, however, compares to the fact that Saber's jet nosecone is now a piece of folded-up cardboard, lacking its other functions as a shield or sword hilt.

*'''Star Saber DX Set''' (1989)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-324'''
**''Accessories:'' "Saber Laser", red wings, blue tailfins, cardboard nosecone, roleplay "camcorder", 20 silver pellets, cardboard target

:This "Deluxe set" includes the ''Transform Jr'' Star Saber figure and a roleplay camcorder toy, which shoots silver pellets. The set (shown in-box in the top-right of the image above) comes with a stand-up cardboard target decorated with Star Saber's [[package art]], so you can practise your accuracy.

*'''Star Saber''' (2004)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RM-15'''
**''Accessories'': "Saber Blade", "Thermal Shot" rifle, nosecone/shield/sword hilt

:A smaller, simplified version of the Star Saber toy, the ''[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]'' version of the figure eliminates the base mode and Saber's Brainmaster component. Aside from this, however, he is virtually identical to the original Star Saber figure in transformation and weaponry, including his ability to combine with the ''Robotmasters'' version of Victory Leo to form Victory Saber, and as a small compensation for losing two of his gimmicks, the figure has also been redesigned with more show-accurate proportions and is generally nicer to look at.

:Star Saber was also available in a two-pack with the ''Robotmasters'' version of Victory Leo, with whom he could still combine to form Victory Saber in both jet and robot modes. The two figures in this pack are differentiated from their standard release by the addition of a metallic paint job.

*'''GT-R Saber''' ([[2013]]-[[May 25|05-25]])
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''GT-02'''
**''Accessories:'' Gas-Fill-Blade, [[Anna]] race queen figure

:''[[Transformers GT: Mission GT-R (franchise)|Transformers GT]]'' GT-R Saber is a heavy retool of the ''[[Transformers: Alternity|Alternity]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#Alternity|Convoy]] toy, transforming into a 1:32 replica of the Calsonic Impul GT-R race car used by [http://www.impul.co.jp/ Team Impul] in the [[wikipedia:Super GT|Super GT]] racing championship series. He features die-cast metal parts, an opening hood, trunk and doors, as well as an interior, complete with his feet and thighs being sculpted to form the back seats. His armaments include flip-out non-firing blasters on his arms as well as the awkwardly named Gas-Fill-Blade, a sword based on his trademark Saber Blade but designed to resemble a fuel dispenser. Like all ''GT'' toys, Saber also comes with a [[GT Sister]], poseable human figures themed after [[wikipedia:race queen|race queens]], his partner being a lady named Anna.

:This mold was also used, with different heads and accessories, to make the other ''Transformers GT'' toys: [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#GT|GT-R Prime]], [[Megatron (G1)/toys#GT|GT-R Megatron]], and [[Fortress Maximus (G1)#GT|GT-R Maximus]].

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''MP-24'''
**''Accessories:'' "Brain of Courage" Brainmaster figure, "V-Star" ship/body, big nosecone/shield/sword hilt, small nosecone/sword hilt, "Saber Blade", small "Saber Blade", "Saber Laser", Shield, stand pieces

:''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Star Saber was chosen by fans on the ''Masterpiece'' Fan's Choice poll and announced [[November 19]], [[2013]]. [[Hisashi Yuki]] led the ''Masterpiece'' Star Saber project, rather than the usual ''Masterpiece'' designer, [[Shogo Hasui]], so the creation of Star Saber did not derail the other ongoing ''Masterpiece'' releases.

:Star Saber keeps most of the features the original toy had, the main difference being in how the Brainmaster gimmick works: Saber's face is in the main body rather than in the Brain of Courage figure. Also he comes with an extra accessory that was not in the original figure, the shield Star Saber used in "[[Showdown! The Fortress vs the Victory Unification]]", which doubles as a "flight stand" for the figure when in its [[alternate mode]]. He also comes with two swords, one scaled for Saber and one scaled for Star Saber. The small one's blade is stored in the slot opposite to the one where the regular blade is stored, while its hilt detaches from the big one.

:If ordered from Amazon in not-Japanese Asian states, he comes with a collector coin. The coin comes in a box shaped like Star Saber's chest.

:Star Saber was released in Australia as a [[Toys"R"Us]] exclusive, with box and instructions translated to English. The English version of his bio is based on his IDW incarnation.<ref>http://tformers.com/hasbro-australia-to-distribute-masterpiece-star-saber/25793/news.html</ref>

==Notes==
*The longterm relationship between Star Saber and Deathsaurus since childhood is [[Optimus Prime (RID)#Notes|not the]] [[Megatron (RID)#Notes|only one]] in the [[Transformers brand|''Transformers'' brand]].
*Star Saber's Brainmaster figure has for years been (and continues to be) incorrectly referred to by fans with the names "Yuki" and "Yukio", mistakenly derived from the Japanese word meaning "courage" (勇気 ''yūki''). In truth, like all Brainmaster units, it does not have a proper name, but is known simply by the title used in this article, the "Brain of Courage".
*Star Saber's alt mode, a red and blue fighter jet that combines with a white add-on, is similar to and possibly based on ''Mobile Suit Gundam''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Core Booster. Adding to the similarity is the fact that when merging into his Star Saber mode, his jet portion folds into a block, similar to how the Core Booster's jet would fold into a block before fitting into the Gundam. In fact, Star Saber's final visual design was a result of a revision done by Gundam mechanical designer [[Kunio Okawara]]

*The decision to present the normally squeaky-clean hero of heroes, Star Saber, as a brutal villain in [[IDW Generation 1 continuity]] is pretty clearly drawn from [[James Roberts]]'s days as part of the [[Transmasters UK|Transmasters UK fanfic group]], which depicted the character in this way. He's a ''different'' type of villain as Roberts wanted to respect his former collaborators and not poach their ideas. The reason Star Saber is used is because he was an existing G1 character who would have some ''weight'' if he showed up as Tyrest's new right hand (and hadn't been already established).<ref>[http://womenwriteaboutcomics.com/2015/02/26/james-roberts-on-idws-transformers-more-that-meets-the-eye/ Women Write About Comics: "James Roberts on IDW’s Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye" 19:24 - 31:07]</ref> Thematically, he also fits with Tyrest and Pharma's theme of being one of the main pillars of society (in this case religion) going wrong.<ref>[http://www.fullmetalhero.com/t14540/ Moonbase2's second interview with James Roberts – 02:05:34 to 02:05:57]</ref>
*Like all non-toy robot Kreons in the ''Kre-O'' comics, Victory Saber is made from existing ''Kre-O'' parts. He uses the [[Optimus Prime (Kre-O)#Toys|Optimus Prime]] helmet, and a backpack made from a 2x4 harness and a pair of 1x2 plates with side-bars, a pair of clip-on wings ''and'' a pair of clip-on rifles. Add to that a chestplate that's the [[Wheeljack (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Wheeljack]] wing-pack draped forward. He stands atop a pair of platform shoes, each made out of a 1x2 plate with a slope over one stud, and a 1x2 Combiner "lower limb" block. He carries a short-sword of the type most commonly carried by the [[Predaking (G1)#Kre-O|Predaking]] components. Whoof!

:''Victorion is an [[Autobot]] [[combiner]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Victorion-packagingart.jpg|right|thumb|400px|''All I wanna do'' ''Is see you turn into'' ''A giant woman (a giant WOOOman)'']]

'''Victorion''' was created after the [[Torchbearer]]s—a team of explorers who seek ancient Cybertronian artifacts—were accidentally exposed to the energies of the [[Enigma of Combination]]. As all six of her components are devout followers of the [[Mistress of Flame]], the religious head of [[Caminus]], Victorion gets a leeeeeeetle bit tetchy when someone threatens sacred relics. And by "tetchy" we mean "summons the wrath of god upon their heads". Between her whirling blade weapons, gravity-control powers, and the ability to fly under her own power, the collection of Rust Renegades is more than capable of some righteous smiting.

The strong discipline and sense of unity among the Torchbearers, combined with their natural deference to Pyra Magna, means Victorion is one of the most mentally stable combiners. In ways she is much like Pyra, with the others contributing numerous smaller personality tics to ensure the whole is truly greater than the sum of its parts.

Victorion is formed from:
*[[Pyra Magna]]
*[[Stormclash]]
*[[Skyburst (G1)|Skyburst]]
*[[Dust Up]]
*[[Jumpstream]]
*[[Rust Dust]]

==Fiction==
===IDW Generation 1 continuity===
[[File:AnUneventfulNight-victorionattacks.jpg|thumb|left|200px|"Specific! Intelligent! Accurate! Faultless! Elegant! Controlled! Surgical! Graceful! And powerful! But yes, occasionally, I am known to smash."]]

When [[Arcee (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Arcee]] stole the [[Enigma of Combination]] and fled to the [[Rust Sea]], she ran across the Torchbearers. During a standoff between the team, [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] and [[Chromia (G1)|Chromia]], Arcee threatened to destroy the artifact, only for Rust Dust to make a grab for it, activating the Enigma and fusing the Torchbearers into Victorion.

The gestalt focused its energies on protecting the artifact of its birth... by trying to obliterate Arcee. Windblade and Chromia saved her, unwilling to let anyone die. Victorion proved more than a match for the three physically, but Windblade was ultimately able to talk sense to Victorion, reminding her of the Torchbearers' devotion to [[Solus Prime]], who created rather than destroyed. Accepting that honoring the legacy of the Primes must also include not engaging in unnecessary destruction, Victorion separated into her component individuals, much to Arcee's shock. {{storylink|An Uneventful Night}}

[[File:AHO-earthannexed.jpg|thumb|right|200px|''I will fight for the place where I'm free! To live together and exist as me!'']]

She later confronted Optimus Prime, after a brief scuffle with him as her component Torchbearers. After combining, Optimus stated that he didn't think Caminus had combiners. Victorion replied that it didn't—that she was something new, then turned the conversation towards Optimus, asking him what ''he'' was. He told her that he had come to ask her opinion on the subject. She then pinned him to the ground with her gravity control powers, and demanded that he tell her what he knew about the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix of Light]]. Struggling to move, he recounted the legend of its creation and ended with his stated belief that it was technology, nothing more. Victorion sarcastically responded that ''this'' was the universe they lived in—where one carrying the holiest of objects on the planet didn't even believe in its divinity. Asking him how many had died during his carrying of the Matrix, he solemnly replied that too many had, and that death and war were the legacy of the Primes. She then told him that on Caminus, everyone learns the names of all the Primes, save for those of two: "[[The Fallen#IDW Generation 1 continuity|The Fallen]]" and "The Arisen". Her components left Caminus, and The [[Mistress of Flame|Mistress]]'s service, because of the latter's belief that she knew who The Arisen was—sacrilege to the combiner. Victorion claimed that the Matrix rightfully belonged to her, as a disciple of [[Solus Prime]], and she said she would one day possess it. Until then, however, she decided to use her talents as a builder to build up Optimus. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 2: Lagrange|Lagrange}}

Victorion later accompanied Optimus and her fellow combiner, Superion, to help put down the Decepticon takeover of the Spacebridge. She used her gravity powers to end the clash between Windblade and Dreadwing, and greeted Chromia and Windblade. She then went through the spacebridge to Earth, with Optimus, [[Sterling]], [[Aileron]], [[Sunstreaker (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Sunstreaker]], [[Bob (IDW)|Bob]], Chromia, Ironhide, and Wheeljack to stop Galvatron's takeover of the planet. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 4: Perihelion|Perihelion}}

[[File:OnceUponATimeOnEarth-Victorion.jpg|thumb|left|300px|"Hey Steven, want to see something cool?"]]

Victorion took part in the pitched battle that ensued after Optimus Prime forcefully annexed Earth into the [[Council of Worlds]], using her gravity powers to take down some of the [[Predacon (G1)|Predacon]]s. With the Decepticons weakened thanks to [[G.B. Blackrock|Garrison Blackrock]]'s [[mindbomb]], the Autobots pushed the advantage, routing the Decepticons and the [[People's Liberation Army Mecha Force]]. When Optimus's forces extracted their wounded back to Cybertron through the spacebridge, Victorion and Superion covered the retreat. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 1: Once Upon a Time on Earth|Once Upon a Time on Earth}}

After Aileron struck out on her own and aggressively arrived at the [[White House]], Victorion carried Optimus Prime and Sunstreaker to the White House lawn in order to defuse the situation. Victorion used her gravity powers to warp a satellite blast intended for Optimus Prime, then warped the light around the Autobots, turning them invisible and allowing them to escape. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 2: Edge of the Earth|Edge of the Earth}}

During the preparation for the attack on Galvatron and his Decepticon followers, Victorion questioned the Autobots' alliance with [[Soundwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Soundwave]] and his Decepticons, as they didn't have a very deified view of the title of "Prime". After they began the attack, underneath the [[Indian Ocean]], Victorion and Superion held their own quite well against the [[Earth Defense Command|EDC]]'s [[Seeker clone|clone combiners]]. In response, Galvatron used the power of the Onyx Code version of the Enigma of Combination to merge a handful of his troops into the combiner [[Galvatronus (Generations)|Galvatronus]]! The Decepticon gestalt immediately grappled with Victorion, landing a punch on her before Galvatron used the Enigma again to forcibly separate her into her component Torchbearers, weakening the team. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 4: It's Beginning To And Back Again|It's Beginning To And Back Again}} The Torchbearers were able to pull themselves back together during the subsequent cleanup effort, and formed Victorion to interfere with an EDC strafing run. On Jetfire's orders, she used her gravity powers to safely extract the Autobots and their prisoners.{{storylink|White Heat}}

[[File:ValleyForge-VictorionVsKarza.jpg|thumb|right|300px|"I ain't exactly a [[4 Guards|deck of cards]] here."]]

Some months later, Victorion, Optimus Prime, and Soundwave travelled to [[Oregon]] to the besieged [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] and Arcee, who had been targeted by attack from [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I.Joe]]. Believing the Transformers to be behind the destabilization of [[Ore-13]], the Joes weren't inclined to talk things out; in the ensuing fight, Soundwave lauched an electromagnetic pulse to disrupt the human technology, and Victorion caught and safely set down the planes that had been knocked out of the air by the attack to prove their goodwill. Then, a [[Rom|mysterious silver alien]] intervened and began slaughtering the Joes, so Optimus ordered his troops to pursue the mechanical interloper. Victorion used her gravitational powers to airlift her Cybertronian allies away. {{storylink|Concorde Hymn}} When that situation had been dealt with, Victorion returned to standing guard outside [[Autobot City]] with Jazz and Arcee, {{storylink|O Ship of State}} but failed to notice [[Snake-Eyes]] sneaking into their base. {{storylink|The New Colossus}}

When the Transformer-hunting taskforce [[M.A.S.K.]] arrived to besiege [[Metrotitan (Zone)|Metrotitan]], Victorion moved to take down the humans and their shapeshifting vehicles, but was left unprepared for a massive onslaught of [[Dire Wraith]]s that arrived to help their benefactor [[Miles Mayhem]]. {{storylink|The New Colossus}} The Camien combiner soon recovered and leapt back into the action when the villainous [[Baron Karza]] showed up and merged with the Wraiths into a titanic new form. As the only member of the battle capable of fighting Karza on her own terms, Victorion slugged it out with the Baron, but split into her components after he revealed his ability to summon more Wraiths from within his body. {{storylink|Valley Forge}}

The Torchbearers combined into Victorion once again when the [[Junkion (species)|Junkion]]s made planetfall on Earth, providing backup for Optimus as he met with [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]] and [[Rum-Maj]]. {{storylink|New Cybertron Part 2: A Lonely Pillar on the Plain|A Lonely Pillar on the Plain}} When the Junkions launched a surprise attack on the assembled Autobots and their human guests, the Torchbearer deployed Victorion once more, using her gravity powers to tear her oncoming foes to bits. {{storylink|New Cybertron Part 5: Future Glories Lost|Future Glories Lost}}

Following the disbanding of the Autobot and Decepticon factions, Victorion stepped forth to lead her people towards unity and peace, and proclaimed herself savior of the galaxy. {{storylink|Prelude to Transformers: Combiner Wars - Victorion}} Upon sensing the Enigma of Combination was in danger, Victorion flew to Cybertron and faced off against Devastator. The fight didn't last long, as Starscream soon made his move and became "The Ultimate Combiner" by using her, Devastator, and the corpses of Menasor and Computron to upgrade himself. {{storylink|A War of Giants}} After Starscream was defeated, Windblade gave the Enigma to Victorion, claiming that such an artifact belongs with them. {{storylink|Destruction's Dawn}}

*'''Victorion''' (Collection Pack, 2016)
**''Accessories'': Left & right hands, 2 feet, buildable broadsword

:Part of the ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' series, Victorion is made up of Voyager-class [[Pyra Magna]] as the torso, with [[Rust Dust]] forming her chest, and [[Dust Up]], [[Stormclash]], [[Skyburst (G1)|Skyburst]], and [[Jumpstream]] each forming a limb. Pyra Magna has been [[retool]]ed to give Victorion a new head. Having the copter-twins Skyburst and Stormclash as legs puts her in "flight mode". Her broadsword is the combined mode of her components' weapons, with the base of the sword resembling the [[Lightning Bug]] from the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|original cartoon]] episode "[[Cosmic Rust (episode)|Cosmic Rust]]". The final product features a more muted green compared to the early [[stock photography|stock photos]] that depict hand-painted [[prototype]]s.

:Unlike earlier ''Combiner Wars'' gestalts, Victorion uses dedicated hand and foot parts, rather than the "can be either hand or a foot or a gun" parts that come with the rest of the limb-bots in the series. This is because her components aren't sold separately, resulting in a reduced need for flexibility in the hand/foot-part department.

:Every one of Victorion's components has Cybertronic tampographs in her vehicle mode, which read:
::'''IF CYBERTRON BE YOUR HOME''' (Pyra Magna)
::'''FAR AWAY NEVER ROAM''' (Rust Dust)
::'''HEAR MY MESSAGE LISTEN AND FEAR''' (Skyburst)
::'''DANGER COMES THE END IS NEAR''' (Stormclash)
::'''JUST LIKE US YOU SOON WILL RUST''' (Dust Up)
::'''ALL SHALL BE TURNED TO DUST''' (Jumpstream)
:This is another callback to "Cosmic Rust": the warning message left by [[Thirteenth Legion|victims]] of [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|the titular plague]] on [[Antilla|their colony world]].

:Victorion was only available as a box set including a poster and a collector card based on her packaging art, one of several so-called "Collection Packs" that were "online exclusives" in the United States, available from online retailers such as [[Hasbro Toy Shop]], [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]], and [[BigBadToyStore]] as well as the online stores of "big box" retailers such as [[Toys"R"Us]], [[Walmart]], [[Target]], and [[Kmart]]. In Hasbro's Asian markets such as Singapore and Taiwan, the set was available at general retail. In Australia, it was sold at Toys"R"Us stores, whereas in Canada, was both sold at Toys"R"Us stores and available via Amazon Canada. In The United Kingdom, it was available via the UK Toys"R"Us website (but never sold in stores), whereas in Spain, it was available via the Spanish subsidiaries of [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and Carrefour, as well as the department store chain El Corte Inglés, supposedly also only available online.

:This set (including the new individual head sculpts), without Rust Dust, was redecoed to make ''[[Transformers Unite Warriors|Unite Warriors]]'' [[Megatronia#Toys|Megatronia]].

*Victorion was the result of the 2015 [[Fan Built Bot|Fan Built Combiner]] polls. Fan-voting determined:
**Her gender
**Her name
**The molds used
**Her color scheme
**Her special power (Gravity control)
**Her origin ("Rust Sea" won, so while the components are from Caminus, Victorion proper was "born" in the Rust Sea in-fiction.)
**Her "rival" (Galvatronus won, and on his first formation in IDW continuity, he immediately grapples with Victorion.)
**Her attitude ("doesn't take instruction well" won, and yeah, her first forming, she's kind of a loose cannon until Windblade talks her down.)
*Though she is the first female "traditional", Scramble City style combiner, the honor of first combiner to be referred to as female goes to [[Heavy Metal (SL)|Heavy Metal]], a [[Unicron Trilogy]] 3-bot [[Mini-Con]] combiner.
*In her first fictional appearance, she is drawn without any obvious integration of [[Rust Dust]], who forms her "chest armor" in toy form. Similarly, in his first appearance in IDW continuity, [[Defensor (G1)#IDW Generation 1 continuity|Defensor]] is also drawn without ''his'' chest armor component, [[Groove (G1)|Groove]]. Given that [[Pyra Magna]] is a retool of [[Hot Spot (G1)|Hot Spot]], both of whom form the torsos of their respective combiners, it seems an odd omission to make twice.
[[File:HasbroDesignerDesk-Victorionfaceplate.jpg|right|thumb|200px|]]
*Occasionally, Victorion is drawn with a mouthplate and non-visored eyes rather than the exposed mouth and visored eyes the final toy has. This seems to be based on one of the earlier designs for Victorion, as seen in a clip from [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiAuDJiJEkM Hasbro's "Designer Desk" video for Victorion] on YouTube.
*Victorion is one of the largest Transformers action figures to have [[heel struts]]. She also has hands that are ''much'' smaller than any other ''Combiner Wars'' combiner, even without the knuckle-guns that other figures have. They're close to the size of original G1 combiner toy hands.

'''Tripredacus''' is a slimy "Battle Master" who prefers to emerge from underground to attack [[Maximal]] fortresses in the dead of night, tenaciously crushing all before him, spreading plague-like destruction wherever he goes. The weapons of his composite members form a slashing mega-missile launcher that he uses to tear his way into battle.

Tripredacus is composed of the three-member [[Tripredacus Council]]:

*[[Ram Horn]]
*[[Sea Clamp]]
*[[Cicadacon]]

The [[Maximal]] tactical response was the Maximal combiner [[Magnaboss (BW)|Magnaboss]].

==Fiction==
===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===
Tripredacus formed during the final battle of the [[Grand Uprising]] using technology stolen from [[Magnaboss (BW)|Magnaboss]] of the [[Maximal Nation]]. Taking advantage of their combined form, the Tripredacus Council tracked down [[Preditron]] and - after the original founder of the Predacons refused to kneel to their might - beat him to death.

He would be avenged by [[Ser-Ket (BW)|Ser-Ket]], who hurled herself at the combiner and attacked the monster's thigh joints at point-blank. She was able to force them apart, leaving Sea Clamp half-dead. Cicadacon was shot in the back by Ram Horn, who had learned through the gestalt's mind that the other two members of the Council thought him a useful idiot. {{storylink|Derailment}}

:''Tripledacus is a [[Maximal]] [[Jointron]] [[combiner]] from the [[Beast Wars II: Super Lifeform Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars II]] portion of the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Tripledacus1.jpg|300px|thumb|I AM CORNHOLIO! ARE YOU THREATENING ME???]]
'''Tripledacus''' (トリプルダクス ''Toripurudakasu'') is a nigh-invulnerable, heavily armed titan of a [[combiner]]... comprised entirely of the [[Jointron]] brothers. Just let that sink in for a moment.

Yes, Tripledacus is armed to the teeth with powerful weaponry, and projectiles seem to just bounce off of him like spitwads, but he suffers all the same faults as his component Maximals. He'll lose interest in a fight as soon as he feels the music move his [[spark]], which means it's time to get down and party. The minds of the Jointron brothers don't merge when they form Tripledacus, but rather, they discuss everything before they do it in tandem. Needless to say, those inner discussions about battle tactics usually wind up derailing into prattle about tequila and fiestas almost instantly.

Even with all those faults laid out on the table, the few seconds in which Tripledacus is focused enough to be useful in a fight, he almost always wins it.

Tripledacus is formed by:

*[[DJ (BWII)|DJ]]
*[[Gimlet]]

When the Jointrons crash-landed on [[Gaia]], the first thing they did was combine into Tripledacus and scare the interloping Predacons away. This made them headstrong and they attempted the same tactic against the entire Predacon army, only to lose badly until [[Lio Convoy]] and the Maximals bailed them out. {{storylink|The Combined Giant, Tripledacus}}

Then, after a plan by the Jointrons to lure the Predacons to the Maximal base backfired, they combined into Tripledacus to scare the [[Autoroller]]s off. {{storylink|The Festive Jointrons}} They made another attempt to squash the Predacons with their combined form, but were soon immobilized by a [[bacteria bomb]] that sapped their energy. The Jointrons eventually realized they could pool their energy and did so, combining into Tripledacus and sending the [[Combatron (BWII)|Combatron]]s into retreat. {{storylink|A Fearsome Combination Plan?}}

This made them easy pickings until they decided to work together and combine into Tripledacus, again winning the day. {{storylink|Who Is the Leader!?}}

After an attempt to improve [[Bighorn]]'s love life failed miserably, the Jointrons found themselves being attacked by the [[Seacon (BWII)|Seacon]]s. Hoping to take the wanted criminals in and improve their image with Maximal HQ, the Jointrons formed Tripledacus and battled with [[God Neptune (BWII)|God Neptune]]. The Seacons escaped, however. {{storylink|Face the Setting Sun}} The Jointrons continued their pursuit of the pirates into space and battled them in Gaia's orbit. Both teams were sent reeling by the arrival of the [[teleport gate]], which disassembled Tripledacus before he and God Neptune could finish their rematch. {{storylink|Lio Convoy in Imminent Danger!}}

When the [[Angolmois]] energy on Gaia came under threat of the [[Nemesis (BWII)|Nemesis]], Tripledacus attempted to help the Maximals freeze the energy so it couldn't be collected by the artificial planet. {{storylink|The Great Angolmois Freezing Tactic}} When that didn't work, Tripledacus used his strength to help the Maximals launch their spacecraft out of Gaia's atmosphere so they could reach Nemesis and destroy it.

*Tripledacus's name was [[romanization|romanized]] in English as "Tripredacus" on at least two Japanese [http://www18.tok2.com/home/jackhama/transformers/bw2seal_1/img/032.jpg trading] [http://www18.tok2.com/home/jackhama/transformers/bw2seal_3/img/098.jpg cards], casting a shadow of doubt over the English-speaking [[fandom]]'s interpretation of his name as possessing an "L". Despite that, his English name was officially canonized as "Tripledacus" by IDW's ''Beast Wars'' comics.
*[[TakaraTomy]] reissued two of Tripledacus's components, namely [[Gimlet]] and [[Motorarm (BWII)|Motorarm]], as part of their ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars Telemocha Series|Beast Wars Telemocha Series]]'' in 2007, but omitted [[DJ (BWII)|DJ]] from the line-up. Therefore, the only way to complete Tripledacus from the ''Telemocha'' releases would be by using an original DJ toy.

===IDW Generation 1 continuity===
Sky Reign was created during a disastrous Autobot raid on [[Galvatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Galvatron]]'s [[Nemesis (G1)|underwater base]]. In a display of power, Galvatron used his planet-sized [[Enigma of Combination]] to force Autobots and Decepticons into combining and sicced the resulting Sky Reign on [[Superion (G1)|Superion]]. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 4: It's Beginning To And Back Again|It's Beginning To And Back Again}} With the aid of the [[Seeker clone]] combiners, Sky Reign got the upper hand on Superion, but Superion took control of the Earth-Enigma and disabled it, causing Sky Reign to separate. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 5: As Above...So Below|As Above...So Below}}

Sky Lynx, Wheeljack, Hound, Trailbreaker, and Ratchet were granted the ability to combine into Sky Reign when [[Vector Sigma]] [[reformatting|reformatted]] their bodies so that they could rebuild and defend Cybertron. They formed the combiner to battle [[Grand Galvatron]] when he attacked Cybertron, with Sky Reign wielding Sky Lynx's beastly strength, Wheeljack's many and varied weapons, Hound's [[hologram]]s, Trailbreaker's [[force field]]s, and the ability to regenerate from damage using Ratchet's medical unit. {{storylink|Sky Reign Chapter}} While he held his own against Grand Galvatron, Sky Reign was caught unawares and separated into his components when [[Megaempress]] blasted him with her fusion railgun. [[Moonheart]] then amputated their combiner joints, rendering them unable to recombine. {{storylink|Megatronia Chapter}} Vector Sigma later restored the joints so that Sky Reign could participate in the great combiner battle with [[Unicron]].

==Notes==
*The infobox from the extended bio on the back of the comic book included with the Deluxe Class Trailbreaker figure in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and Asia states his subgroup as "'''Lynx King'''", presumably an early working name. (The infoboxes from the comics included with the Deluxe Smokescreen, Wheeljack, and Hound figures correctly state the subgroup as "Sky Reign".)
*Early sample packaging photography for the Legends Class [[Wreck-Gar (G1)#Generations|Wreck-Gar]] figure pointed him out as part of this set, but, since there's no way to actually combine him with Sky Reign, the final product does not mention this.
*When he first appeared in the IDW comics, only the torso and head from the actual toy could be used: most of the 'bots that made up Sky Reign were off on the ''[[Lost Light]]'' at the time and poor [[Trailbreaker (G1)#IDW Generation 1 continuity|Trailbreaker]] was dead!

:''Sixwing is a [[Micromaster]] [[combiner]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''

[[Image:Sixwing.jpg|right|300px|thumb|He should be called ''Fourteenwing''.]]
'''Sixwing''' (シックスウイング ''Shikkusuuingu'') is the combined form of the Micromaster '''Wing Team''' (ウイングチーム ''Uingu Chīmu''). His incredible agility and skill in the air makes him a very dangerous opponent for ground-based forces.

Sixwing is composed of...

*[[Chain Gun]] the AH-64 Apache helicopter and team leader.
*[[Falcon (OC)|Falcon]] the F-16 Falcon jet.
*[[Flanker]] the Sukhoi Su-27 "Flanker" jet.
*[[Missile Run]] the B-1B Lancer bomber plane.
*[[Raker]] the Space Shuttle.
*[[Supersonic]] the Super-Sonic Transport plane.

==Fiction==
===''Micromaster''===
[[Image:Berserker_sixwing.jpg|right|thumb|200px|It's a nice day for a white Sixwing. A nice day to start again.]]
Sixwing first appeared when the Wing Team, six former [[Autobot]] [[Cyberdroid]]s who had been mysteriously "evolved" into [[Decepticon]]s due to a dimensional shockwave, made an attempt to steal several hibernating Cyberdroids from the Autobots' base on [[Earth]]. Their theft interrupted, the team combined into Sixwing and battled against [[Sixturbo]], who was at a distinct disadvantage against the flying foe. [[Sixliner]] arrived quickly with a new weapon, the [[Vaccine Program Gun]], designed to restore the Decepticon Micromasters' original Autobot programming. Though Sixliner scored a direct hit, the weapon did not work as intended, instead giving the Decepticon a powerful shining-white "evil Autobot" Berserker mode. {{storylink|Enter the Decepticon Sixwing!!}}

With this new power, Sixwing and the other Decepticons continued to harass the Autobots, and even succeeded in stealing several Cyberdroid capsules, increasing their ranks. {{storylink|Sixbuilder the Ill-Fated Warrior!?}} However, the appearance of [[Sixtrain]], who could assume the ultra-powerful "Red Mode" that was a match even for Sixwing's Berserker Mode, once again turned the tide. This power forced Sixwing and his allies to abandon an excavation site near [[Mount St. Hilary|a dormant volcano]], but the Wing Team simply waited for the Autobots to begin their own dig, swooping in and forming Sixwing once again in order to claim the spoils. {{storylink|Sixtrain! Activate Red Mode!!}}

Sixwing took part in a raid on the Autobots' newly-constructed [[Metrobase]] at the foot of the volcano, but picked a bad time... as the [[Multiforce]] had just arrived via a dimensional tear. Their combined robot mode [[Landcross (Victory)|Landcross]] proved more powerful than even Sixwing's Berserker mode, forcing him to retreat. {{storylink|The Menace of Landcross's Combining Formation!}}

===''Operation Combination''===
Years later, the now-Autobot Sixwing banded together with [[Sixtrain]] and [[Guard City]] in a battle against the [[Decepticon]] [[Battle Gaia]] amidst a [[human]]-sized city. He and Sixtrain were quickly bested, leaving only Guard City to fend off the villain. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Operation Combination (story page)|Big Pinch, Autobots!}}

Later, Sixwing and all other [[Micromaster Combiner]]s scattered across the globe were summoned to Earth's orbit to join Guard City in a last line of defense against Battle Gaia and the [[Jet Corps]], who had fought their way past the [[Road Corps]]. Sixwing went up against [[Flare Jet]]. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Operation Combination (story page)|The Decepticons' Attack on Earth!}}

Sixwing, Sixtrain, [[Sixbuilder]], [[Sixturbo]], and Guard City eventually combined to form the "[[Autobot Scrum Combination]]". Combining the power of all twenty-nine individual Autobots, their unleashed energy destroyed Battle Gaia on the spot. As the Jet Corps fled with the remains of Battle Gaia, Sixwing joined the other Autobots in gleefully waving goodbye. {{storylink|Fight!

He's made up of Six Micromasters and a large amount of [[kibble]] which can be recombined to create the "[[Sky Sweeper]]" jet in which one Micromaster can ride.

:His limbs have limited interchangeability with each other and with other Sixteams. That is, his arms can swap with like arms from any other Six-teams (though there is some post-size difficulty with some later redecos), and his bottom can become the bottom of any Six-team. He can also freely swap his legs, head or chest with any non-train team. (Because the non-train teams all use the same basic torso and thighs these two can be changed around as one pleases.

:''Sixtrain is an [[Autobot]] [[Micromaster]] [[combiner]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:G1 - Sixtrain - Boxart.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Take a ride on the Pain Train]]
'''Sixtrain''' (シックストレイン ''Shikkusutorein'') has surprising strength. Most of the Micromasters who form him are fairly mild-mannered and not exactly warriors, yet Sixtrain has the ability to become the most powerful of all the Micromaster combined robots... all due to his [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]]-fragment-fueled "Red Mode", which creates a burning aura around him and enhances his combat power to incredible levels. Even when he's not in this mode, he's a skilled fighter, with a dangerous punch and the "Train Gun" that creates train-track-shaped beams of light that act as laser whips.

Even though he is the elder [[relatives|brother]] of [[Sixliner]], it's the younger brother who leads the Earth-based Micromasters.

He is composed of:

*[[Desire]], the team's leader
*[[Atlan]]
*[[Converter]]
*[[Raise]]
*[[San D-Go]]
*[[Windy (OC)|Windy]]

==Fiction==
===''Micromaster''===
When the Autobot Micromasters on [[Earth]] found the [[Decepticon]]s were digging near a [[Mount St. Hilary|dormant volcano]], Sixtrain used his burning "Red mode" to defeat [[Sixwing]] and send the Decepticons packing, the sheer power he exhibited in battle wowing [[Sireen]]. Sixtrain recombined when Sixwing returned, intent on stealing the artifacts that the Micromasters had found there. {{storylink|Sixtrain! Activate Red Mode!!}} Later, after the Autobots had established [[Metrobase]] on the excavation site, Sixtrain rushed to help the newly-arrived [[Multiforce]] fight off Berserker Sixwing — but this turned out to be unnecessary, as the Multiforce's own combined mode [[Landcross (Victory)|Landcross]] was more than capable of defeating the Decepticon combiner. {{Storylink|The Menace of Landcross's Combining Formation!}}

===''Operation Combination''===
Many years later, Sixtrain banded together with [[Sixwing]] and [[Guard City]] in a battle against the [[Decepticon]] [[Battle Gaia]] amidst a [[human]]-sized city. He and Sixwing were quickly bested, leaving only Guard City to fend off the villain. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Operation Combination (story page)|Big Pinch, Autobots!}}

Later, Sixtrain and all other [[Micromaster Combiner]]s scattered across the globe were summoned to Earth's orbit to join Guard City in a last line of defense against Battle Gaia and the [[Jet Corps]], who had fought their way past the [[Road Corps]]. Sixtrain went up against [[Battle Gaia]]-himself. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Operation Combination (story page)|The Decepticons' Attack on Earth!}}

Sixtrain, Sixwing, [[Sixbuilder]], [[Sixturbo]], and Guard City eventually combined to form the "[[Autobot Scrum Combination]]". Combining the power of all twenty-nine individual Autobots, their unleashed energy destroyed Battle Gaia on the spot. As the Jet Corps fled with the remains of Battle Gaia, Sixtrain joined the other Autobots in gleefully waving goodbye. {{storylink|Fight!

*'''Sixtrain''' (Micromaster 6-Team, 1992)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''TF-05'''

: Sixtrain is a [[retool]] of the ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Return of Convoy (toyline)|Return of Convoy]]'' combiner [[Sixliner]], made up of six train Micromasters that combine via attaching to robot-mode [[kibble]]. When separated, this kibble becomes three different weapons; the legs can mount on San D-Go or Atlan's vehicle modes as a large roof-mounted cannon/thruster, the torso can connect to either footplate to form a twin blaster car pulled by any member of the team, and the gun, fists, and head all combine with the other footplate to form a weapons trailer. Sixtrain has limited compatibility with the "jet-kibble" style of Micromaster Combiner, really only able to swap out his arm or "back" components with others.

==Notes==
[[File:SixtrainPencilBoardMockup.jpg|thumb|300px]]

*A mock-up of Sixtrain appeared on an ''Operation Combination'' pencil board (a flat piece of plastic used to separate sheets of paper when writing). The mock-up used [[Sixbuilder]]'s head in blue, and featured Sixtrain's components in somewhat different colors.
*Sixtrain and Sixliner being brothers comes from Sixtrain's original ''Operation Combination'' [[bio]]... and was completely ignored in the later ''Micromaster'' story. That the combined modes are brothers raises some questions about the component robots... do they consider themselves the brothers/sister of the entire rest of the other team? Or just of their counterparts/mold-partners?
*With the [[retcon]]ned shoehorning of ''Micromaster'' into the same timeline as ''Return of Convoy''/''Operation Combination'', Sixliner being the "younger" brother of the two looks like a continuity error at first. But thanks entirely to ''Micromaster'' being incredibly vague about when ''exactly'' both of the train-teams were created, it doesn't have to be. The first part of the story says virtually nothing about the Liner Team themselves (they might have been the first wave of toys, but that doesn't mean they were the first to be created in-fiction), and though Sixtrain doesn't appear until the fourth chapter, nothing in the story prevents him from having been around and simply "off-camera" elsewhere the whole time.

[[Image:G1Sixliner art1.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Sixliner is always ready to deploy the deadly "Double Deuce".]]

'''Sixliner''' (シックスライナー ''Shikkusurainā'') is the combined form of the '''Liner Team''' (ライナーチーム ''Rainā Chīmu'') and the younger [[relatives|brother]] of [[Sixtrain]]. Though still considered a rookie, he's been thrust into positions of great importance among the Autobots; both being the ''de facto'' leader of the Micromasters based on [[Earth]] in the early 1980's (before [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], and their forces would awaken from their crash-induced slumber), and as a member of the elite [[Battlestars]] group.

His component robots are:

* [[D-Go]], the steam engine and team leader
* [[Alan (ROC)|Alan]], the TGV Express train
* [[Joe (ROC)|Joe]], the Super Hitachi train
* [[Leaf]], the Tohoku bullet train
* [[Night]], the EF66 "Blue" train

===''Micromaster''===
The Liner Team were [[Cyberdroid]]s who evolved into Micromasters thanks to a mysterious energy wave. Finding themselves on [[Earth]] in the early 1980's, they blended into [[human]] society and fought against those Micromasters who had evolved into [[Decepticon]]s. {{storylink|A New Transformer Legend Begins!!}} When five of the [[Sixturbo|Turbo Team]] had been turned into Decepticons by the [[mind changer virus]], Sixliner stood ready in case [[Sireen]]'s plan to install an antivirus by merging with his teammates failed. Thankfully, the installation was a success, and Sixliner and the once-again Autobot Sixturbo shared a hearty handshake. {{storylink|Enter the Urban Disaster Relief Specialists!!}} Shortly after, Sixliner rushed into battle against the Decepticon [[Sixwing]] brandishing the [[Vaccine Program Gun]], a weaponized version of the antivirus used to cure Sixturbo. Unfortunately, Sixwing was able to subvert the program, giving him the "Berserker" mode with the powers of an evil Autobot (look, just go with us on this, alright?). {{storylink|Enter the Decepticon Sixwing!!}}

===''The Battlestars'' manga and story pages===
{{voiceactor|[[Ikuya Sawaki]] (Japanese, ''TF Telephone audio adventures'')}}

Many years later, [[Sky Garry (ROC)|Sky Garry]], temporary [[Supreme Commander]] of the [[Autobot]]s, enlisted the youthful rookie Sixliner into the [[Battlestars]] after watching an impressive fight between him and a horde of energy-plundering [[Galaman]] warriors on [[Earth]]. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: The Battlestars (story page)#Part 2|The Battlestars Part 2}}

Aware of the mission of the Battlestars, [[Decepticon]] [[Emperor of Destruction|Emperor]] [[Dark Nova]] stole [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]'s body and cloned it as the evil [[False Convoy]]. Sixliner was quickly taken hostage by False Convoy, but was saved by a unified attack from Sky Garry and [[Grandus (ROC)|Grandus]]. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: The Battlestars (story page)#Part 3|The Battlestars Part 3}} After False Convoy's defeat, the Battlestars rescued the fallen Supreme Commander's corpse from the [[Novaroid|Great Novaroid]] forces on planet [[Lucifer]]. Using the power of the Zodiac, they brought Optimus Prime back to life and upgraded him into Star Convoy. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: The Battlestars (story page)#Part 4|The Battlestars Part 4}}

Sixliner then had the honor of fighting alongside his idol, Star Convoy, in a battle against a horde of [[Novaroid|Great Novaroid]] drones. With the help of Star Convoy's Microcarrier, they defeated their enemies. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: The Battlestars (story page)#Part 5|The Battlestars Part 5}}

Sixliner was the first to go up against the resurrected [[Megatron (G1)|Super Megatron]] in a battle at the North Pole. His youth and inexperience made him a poor adversary, though, and Super Megatron swatted him aside with a single blow. Star Convoy quickly arrived to save the day and Sixliner swooned at how impressive the Supreme Commander was, desiring to be just like him some day. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: The Battlestars (manga)|The Battlestars special}}

Sixliner then joined in battle against Dark Nova and the upgraded Ultra Megatron. {{storylink|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: The Battlestars (story page)#Part 8|The Battlestars Part 8}} However, he did not join the other Battlestars when they journeyed into [[Dark Nova|Star Giant]]'s stomach and destroyed the enemy. {{storylink|Fight!

The combined form of the '''Build Team''' (ビルドチーム ''Birudo Chīmu''), '''Sixbuilder''' (シックスビルダー ''Sikkusubirudā'') is the strongest of all the Micromaster combined robots. When it comes to pure physicality, none can beat him, though [[Sixwing]] and [[Sixtrain]]'s super modes can give him a run for his money. Despite his colossal strength, Sixbuilder far prefers to live up to the second part of his name, and use his talents for construction rather than combat.

Sixbuilder's component robots are...

*[[Crush-Bull]] the bulldozer and team leader.
*[[Digger]] the excavator.
*[[Gran Arm]] the front-end loader.
*[[Iron Lift]] the crane.

A little while later, Micromasters resembling the Build Team were spotted wrecking [[human]] construction sites. The Build Team soon confronted them in Sixbuilder mode... only for the impostors to do the same!

[[Image:Road_caesar.jpg|right|thumb|350px|"Et tu, [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]]?"]]
'''Road Caesar''' (ロードシーザー ''Rōdo Shīzā'') is the combined form of the [[Brainmaster]]s, and a warrior almost without compare. Unlike many of his [[combiner]] predecessors, who suffered from limited intelligence or other impairments when combined, Road Caesar is a perfect fusion of his component members. He brings together the strength of [[Blacker]], the skill of [[Laster]] and the intelligence of [[Braver]] to create a being of truly indomitable fighting spirit. If one were to call [[Star Saber (Victory)|Star Saber]] the “king of the skies,” then there's no question that Road Caesar is king of the land. And when these two kings fight side by side, the Decepticons always know they're in for a royal thrashing.

Road Caesar wields the mighty “Road Blade”, a massive sword formed from the combination of Blacker, Braver, and Laster's individual blades. But even this weapon pales in comparison to his “Brain Wheel Shocker” technique, which sees Road Caesar launch rings of super-energy from all twelve of his tires. Even his opposite number, the Decepticon [[Liokaiser]], can't stand up to this automotive onslaught.

When [[Leozack]] and the [[Dinoforce]] attacked [[Jan Minakaze|Jan]]'s new school on his first day of class, the Brainmasters sped onto the scene to aid Star Saber in defending the institution. The Dinoforce immediately merged into [[Dinoking]], but the Brainmasters were unimpressed and responded in kind, fusing into Road Caesar for their first combiner battle on Earth. While Star Saber dealt with Leozack, Road Caesar sent Dinoking tumbling off a nearby cliff, forcing the villains to retreat. {{storylink|Attack! Leozack}}

The Brainmasters next combined to defend the [[Ocean Exhibition]] amusement park against another attack by Leozack and the Dinoforce. Surrounded by the prehistoric pests, the team merged into Road Caesar with the intention of ending the battle quickly, but the Dinoforce quickly combined into Dinoking to fight back. The two combiners grappled hand-to-hand before drawing their weapons, at which point the sight of the retreating Leozack distracting Dinoking. Nearly sent toppling into the ocean by Road Caesar, the Dinoforce combiner opted to follow Leozack's example, leaving Road Caesar and Star Saber victorious once more. {{storylink|Move Out!

Road Caesar didn't fare very well in the battle, but he held his own long enough for the evacuation to be completed, freeing up Star Saber to take over the fight and defeat Liokaiser. {{storylink|Battle Up of Wrath!!}}

[[Image:Roadcaesar desert ambush.jpg|left|220px|thumb|"Man, the Ides of March sneak up on me every year."]]

Soon after, the Brainmasters were lured into the desert by the Breastforce for a rematch, where Laster and Braver found themselves sinking beneath the shifting sands. Still able to manoeuvre thanks to his dune buggy [[alternate mode]], Blacker was able to combine with his teammates in an attempt at pulling them, but Road Caesar only wound up sinking deeper into the sand. The combiner instead tried to focus his energy to boost his strength, but in doing so, left himself wide open to an attack from behind by [[Guyhawk]], who injured Blacker so badly with his “Ice Needle” attack that he was forcibly disengaged from the other Brainmasters. Star Saber soon arrived to rescue the team, but Blacker was left badly wounded and out of action for some time. {{storylink|Crisis! Ambush in the Desert}}

[[Image:Roadcaesar greatshot vs fortress.jpg|right|180px|thumb|"Danger knows full well that Caesar is more dangerous than he:
We are two lions litter'd in one day, and I the elder and more terrible."]]

The Brainmasters did not form Road Caesar again until [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]] unleashed his [[Planet-Destroying Fortress]] upon the Earth. As Road Caesar, the trio were the first to engage the fortress in battle in space, and the first to feel its power, as they narrowly dodged one of its devastating beam attacks. With [[Greatshot]] to back him up, Road Caesar gave it his all, but the Autobots' attacks delivered virtually no damage to the fortress's tough armor and eventually, the fortress's weapons struck down the two warriors just as Star Saber arrived to take their place. {{storylink|The Wrath of the Resurrected Giant Fortress!}} Ordered back to Earth to recuperate, the Brainmasters were left unable to participate in the final battle thanks to their wounds, but Star Saber was still able to destroy the fortress and best Deathsaurus once and for all. {{storylink|Showdown! The Fortress vs the Victory Unification}}

[[Image:Roadcaesar manga.jpg|left|thumb|275px|Those were truly the salad days.]]

Road Caesar's first foray onto the battlefield on Earth was not an impressive one. Alongside Star Saber, he raced to the aid of [[Landcross (Victory)|Landcross]], who had been defeated by Deathsaurus in a burning forest. With a single swipe, Deathsaurus flattened Star Saber and split Road Caesar back into his component parts; he had super-charged his strength by drawing energy from the forest fire raging around them. Luckily, thanks to a distraction inadvertently caused by Deathsaurus' adopted human son [[Solon Kitakaze (Victory)|Solon]], Star Saber was able to overpower the Decepticon leader and defeat him. {{storylink|Great Turn-Around! Star Saber}}

Later, when Star Saber was faced with the combined might of Deathsaurus, Dinoking, and Liokaiser, Road Caesar was unable to get to his leader in time to help him. Fortunately, the new warrior [[Victory Leo]] came to the commander's aid, merging with him to form Victory Saber. In this new form, Star Saber sent the Decepticons packing, just as Road Caesar and Landcross arrived to watch. {{storylink|The Strongest Partners, the Combination of Victory!}}

During a later battle between Victory Saber and the Brainmasters and Deathsaurus and Liokaiser, the Decepticons gained the upper hand when Blacker broke off the fight and pursued Solon, who was beginning to doubt his allegiances. Blacker convinced Solon to join the Autobots team of human allies, the [[Victories]], then quickly rejoined his team-mates and merged with Laster and Braver into Road Caesar. The Victories then channelled their energy into their Autobot counterparts for a final attack; boosted by the power of Solon's strength, [[Shūta Gō|Shūta]]'s intelligence and [[Cab (human)|Cab]]'s skill, Road Caesar joined with Victory Saber in unleashing the “Victory Caliber” attack, sending the Decepticons fleeing off to their space. {{storylink|Shine! The Five Stars of Victory}}

The Decepticons soon returned and began bombarding Earth with meteors from their “Space Stronghold”. Road Caesar and the other Autobots headed into space to confront the villains; the Brainmasters split back into their individual forms and burst into the fortress in vehicle mode, but quickly recombined to continue the battle. Things were brought to a sudden halt when Deathsaurus revealed the true secret of the fortress: it was home to the Decepticons' families, who they simply wanted to keep safe. Road Caesar and the others reacted with slack-jawed amazement to this revelation, until Star Saber and Deathsaurus decided that it was time to lay down their arms and work together for peace in the future – the truest victory of all! {{storylink|Heroic!

**''Component members/Accessories:'' Blacker (chestplate, head, and sword); Laster (leg armor, right fist, and sword); Braver (leg armor, left fist and sword)
:Road Caesar's individual components were available both separately and in a giftset. The team's method of combination is distinctly non-standard, with Laster and Braver serving as one leg each and Blacker forming everything from the thighs up, resulting in easily the most disproportionate super robot mode in Transformers history. Laughable child-bearing hips aside, however, the toy is impressive for the time in its lack of “combiner [[kibble]]”: all of the additional components required to complete Road Caesar are integrated parts of the individual Blacker, Braver and Laster toys: his chestplate, feet and leg armor are made from the individual robots' shields, while his fists and head are formed from their guns. The three robots' small swords combine to form Road Caesar's large “Road Blade” sword.

:The individual Brainmasters' moulds were later used to make the [[Motorvator]]s ([[Flame (Motorvator)|Flame]], [[Gripper (G1)|Gripper]], and [[Lightspeed (Motorvator)|Lightspeed]]), but the new toys did not come with the shields or guns necessary to form Road Caesar—they ''can'' technically still combine, but [[Big Motorvator|the resulting form]] is noticeably lacking.

:''Raiden is an [[Autobot]] [[combiner]] from the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''

[[Image:Raiden boxart.jpg|right|300px|thumb|God of thunder! And rock and roll!]]
The main function of the [[Trainbot]]s is transport, but when an obstruction arises that prevents them from delivering their passengers, they won't hesitate to combine into the mighty '''Raiden''' (ライデン) to clear the tracks. And no obstacle is too big for Raiden's matchless ambition: he is, after all, the guy who maintains an active rivalry with [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]], and plans on challenging [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]] next! Fittingly enough, his other great personality trait is his peerless punctuality. This is one Robot Train that always runs on time!

Raiden is the combined form of all six Trainbots:
*[[Shouki]] (Zero Shinkansen bullet train, leader, torso)
*[[Getsuei]] (EF-65-1000 Electric Locomotive, right leg)
*[[Yukikaze (Headmasters)|Yukikaze]] (200 Shinkansen bullet train engine, left leg)
*[[Suiken]] (Tokai-type 153 Express locomotive, left arm)
*[[Seizan]] (485 Limited Express Electric Locomotive, right arm)
*[[Kaen]] (DE-10 diesel locomotive, pelvis)

==Fiction==
===Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
====Ask Vector Prime====
The Trainbots were built in Japan, as a part of the [[Raiden Initiative]]. Their ability to combine was engineered by the mysterious [[Takahashi Chifumi|Takahashi]], who designed their Heavy Series-Linkage System. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/09/27}}

====''The Headmasters'' cartoon====
{{voiceactor|[[Keiichi Noda]] (Japanese)}}
[[Image:Hmop_raiden.jpg|left|thumb|225px|I'm not a video game!]]
Raiden made his first brief appearance fighting alongside [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] and [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] against the [[Decepticon]] combiners when the villains invaded [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] in 2011. They were very nearly crushed to death when [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] collapsed a building on them with his [[sonic stun-gun]], but the tide of the fight was turned when the Autobot [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]] arrived to join the battle. {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}}

Sometime later, the Trainbots formed Raiden in order to defend [[Japan]] against the marauding [[Sixshot]]. Raiden and Sixshot fought fiercely until [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] crashed the party. The arrivals of [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]], [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]], and the Autobot [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]]s made it into a real brawl. During the fight, Raiden was swarmed by Sixshot and his hard-light doppelgangers in winged wolf modes. Raiden called for [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]] to shoot at the Sixshots until he nailed the real one, even if Raiden was injured in the process. {{storylink|Terror! The Six Shadows}}

Raiden was formed to defend the [[Sol 1]] satellite against [[Predaking (G1)|Predaking]]. He fought bravely against the bestial giant, and eventually sent the Decepticon fleeing with his tail(s?) between his legs. {{storylink|The Shadow Emperor, Scorponok}} Soon thereafter, Raiden battled Predaking again, with a raging volcano as their backdrop. The Headmasters soon became involved in the skirmish and, when Raiden briefly gained the upper hand on Predaking, they offered to step in so that the Trainbots could rescue the innocent villagers trapped at the base of the volcano. {{storylink|The Dormant Volcano Mysteriously Erupts}}

[[Image:Hmep23_raiden_vs_galvatron.jpg|right|thumb|225px|Or a cyborg ninja!]]

When [[San Francisco]] came under siege by [[buridanka|a carnivorous alien plant]], courtesy of the Decepticons, the Trainbots, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbot]]s, and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobot]]s responded to the emergency. The Trainbots combined into Raiden in order to engage Bruticus in an energy-sword duel, but as the battle went on, they switched opponents and started fist-fighting with [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]] while the Autobot Headmasters dealt with the vicious vegetable. {{storylink|Head On!! Fortress Maximus}} A little later, during a clash on [[Mars (planet)|Mars]], Raiden helped [[Hardhead (G1)|Hardhead]] fend off a combined attack by the Decepticon Headmasters. {{storylink|Explosion on Mars!! MegaZarak Appears}}

After the Decepticons embarked on a quest into deep space to seek out new sources of energy, the Trainbots joined [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress]] in following their foes. Raiden was formed on the [[Twin Star]] planets and did battle with Predaking. {{storylink|Battle for Defense of the False Planet}} He was also briefly seen on the planet [[Paradise]], {{storylink|Head Formation of Friendship}} and took on [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] himself on the [[Pirate Planet]]. {{storylink|Mystery of the Space Pirate Ship}}

[[Image:Hmep35_raiden_vs_predaking.jpg|left|thumb|225px|Or a guy from ''Mortal Kombat''!]]

Once the Autobots had returned to Earth, Raiden was next formed in defense of [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]] as it was being attacked by Sixshot and Trypticon. He was intercepted by [[Apeface]] and [[Snapdragon (G1)|Snapdragon]], however, and was unable to assist Ultra Magnus and [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] in their fight. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus Dies!!}} Raiden was next seen battling Predaking on the [[Kamchatka Peninsula]], as the Decepticons attempted to exploit the [[Pacific Ring of Fire]]. {{storylink|I Risk My Life for Earth}} That battle concluded with the expulsion of the Decepticons from Earth, and soon after, Raiden helped eradicate any traces of the villains that remained on Earth by joining Defensor and [[Computron (G1)|Computron]] in demolishing their now-abandoned Earth base. {{storylink|Miraculous Warriors, Targetmasters (Part 1)}}

When the Autobots learned that the Decepticons had withdrawn to the planet [[Master (planet)|Master]], the Trainbots joined the Autobots in pursuing them. After bombs planted by [[Weirdwolf (G1)|Weirdwolf]] damaged Fortress's battleship during a battle on Master, Raiden and Defensor were seen helping to repair it. {{storylink|Operation: Destroy the Decepticons}}

After the Transformers had all returned to Earth, the Trainbots formed Raiden for the final battle with [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]]'s Decepticons at the North Pole. He warred with his counterpart, Predaking, and was nearly crushed by the Battleship Maximus when Scorponok battered it away. In the end, Raiden lent his strength to the Headmasters' [[Head Formation]], feeding Fortress Maximus enough power to overcome the effects of the [[crysmagnetal]]. {{storylink|The Final Showdown on Earth (Part 2)}}

Responding to a distress call from their [[Beastformer]] allies on the planet [[Beast (planet)|Beast]], the Trainbots merged into Raiden to deal with the Decepticons menacing the planet. Combining in mid-air, the united team allowed gravity to do the rest of the work as they delivered a shattering "JR Kick" straight to Predaking's face, taking him out of the fight. {{storylink|Great Decisive Battle of Planet Beast!}}

Back on Earth, the Trainbots joined Daniel and the Autobot Headmasters in investigating a Decepticon energy-stealing operation under the sea. The Decepticons were laying in ambush with a giant robot squid, but the Headmasters responded by tying its tentacles in knots, and the Trainbots then formed Raiden to swing the swing the automaton architeuthis like a mace, flattening the other Decepticons. {{storylink|The Headmasters issue 3|The Headmasters #3}}

When [[Christmas]] rolled around, Raiden got into the spirit of the season when he joined the Autobot Headmasters in handing out gifts at a Japanese children's hospital, even going so far as to don a giant Santa hat and carry a huge sack. The merriment was soon interrupted by the arrival of the Decepticon Headmasters, but rather than join the battle, Raiden followed Chromedome's instruction to disengage and transport the hospital's patients to safety. {{storylink|The Headmasters issue 6|The Headmasters #6}}

Several years after the Decepticons' expulsion from Earth following the final battle at the North Pole, the Trainbots were dispatched to pick up a new Autobot warrior named [[Ginrai (human)|Ginrai]] who had risen to prominence on Earth and bring him to [[Athenia]] so Fortress could appoint him [[Supreme Commander]]. Naturally, the Decepticons attacked Athenia during Ginrai's stay, and Raiden was formed to fight back, only for him to wind up being cut down alongside Chromedome by a powerful blast from the combined Decepticon [[Scramble 7]]. {{storylink|The Battle Begins! The United Earth-Space Troops}}

The attack on Athenia had proven that the Decepticons on Earth had joined forces with the Decepticons in space, and so the Autobots elected to do the same to better fight their enemies. Soon after, when the leader of the space-based Decepticon forces, [[Scorponok (G1)|BlackZarak]], began heading for Earth, Raiden, the Autobot Headmasters and [[Grand Maximus]] gave chase. They were unable to stop him, but luckily, no sooner had he arrived than Ginrai tricked BlackZarak and the Earth Decepticon leader [[Overlord (Masterforce)|Overlord]] into blasting each other. Raiden and his allies cheered for Ginrai's success. {{storylink|God Ginrai's Amazing Super-God Combination!}}

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-131'''
**''Accessories:'' Left & right fists, chestplate, waist armor, back armor, 2 "Leg Beams", 2 "Wing Lasers", "Train Bazooka" rifle

: Raiden began life as the ''[[Diaclone]]'' "Trainbot", released as part of the "Real and Robo" subline. One of the few ''Diaclone'' toys not initially ported over for release in Hasbro's ''Transformers'' line, the Trainbots eventually found their way into the Transformers universe a few years later when they were released by [[TakaraTomy|Takara]], with the addition of waist and back armor panels for their combined mode, as part of the ''[[Transformers: The Headmasters (franchise)|Headmasters]]'' line, available only in Japan.

:The six Trainbots who form Raiden were available both individually and together in a giftset. Like his fellow ''Diaclone''-born combiner Devastator, each of Raiden's components becomes a specific part of his body; they are not interchangeable, like the later-designed "Scramble City" combiners were. Raiden requires several additional parts to complete his combination, beyond the usual extremities-and-chestplate accessories of most other combiners, which take the form of various unique weapons: his shoulder-mounted "Wing Lasers", ankle-mounted "Leg Beams" and hand-held "Train Bazooka" gun, none of which are wielded by any of the smaller Trainbots.

:The Trainbots were later re-released in 1990 as part of the ''[[Transformers: Zone (franchise)|Zone]]'' toyline, but only in individual packaging, never as a giftset.

Like the larger Trainbot toys, these six figures are carry-overs of pre-existing ''Diaclone'' toys. The giftset includes an Autobot [[insignia]] pocket-clip included with many ''Transform Jr'' figures.

:Released as part of the seventh wave of [[Kabaya]]'s ''[[Transformers Gum]]'' series of snap-together [[candy toy]] model kits, this simplified version of Raiden is molded in white, blue and grey plastic. Being that he is a combiner, Raiden doesn't transform like most other ''Transformers Gum'' models; instead, his limbs can disconnect and transform into train-mode Yukikaze, Seizan, Suiken and Getsuei (his torso is not capable of transforming, so Kaen and Shouki get no such love). The figure features no paint applications, but came with stickers to add detail, and a terrible stick of gum.

==Notes==
[[Image:Robottrain.jpg|right|180px|thumb|"We've managed to avoid drowning!"]]
*"Raiden" can be written as the kanji "雷電", meaning "Thunder and Lightning". It is also an alternate name of [[wikipedia:Raijin|Raijin]] (as Raiden Sama), the Japanese god of thunder and lightning. Our Raiden's name is a little odd by Japanese standards, as it is spelled out with phoenetic katakana (ライデン), instead of the appropriate kanji (雷電). On one hand, this could, both in and out of universe, reflect Raiden's alien robot nature. On the other hand, Raiden's constituent members were actually ''born'' in Japan on planet Earth, so...
*Raiden had the preliminary name of '''Grandliner''' (グランドライナー). This name would later be used by Toei for another train combiner robot in the 1999 tokusatsu series ''{{w|Kyuukyuu Sentai GoGoFive}}''.
*Raiden's on-package [[bio]] specifically notes that he dislikes Devastator, presumably a reference to the toys' shared origins as ''[[Diaclone]]'' combiners.
*Raiden's animation model is based on his ''Diaclone'' toy, rather than the ''Headmasters'' version of the figure, lacking as it does the orange armor plate added to the waist of the robot for his ''Transformers'' release.
*The Trainbots' combined train form appears in the [[title sequence]] of the [[Transformers: Super-God Masterforce (cartoon)|''Super-God Masterforce'' cartoon]], but not in the series itself. The series creators seem to have intended to use the Robot Train to travel back and forth to [[Athenia]], more closely tying ''Super-God Masterforce'' to previous Transformers series, but the idea was quietly dropped. They did, however, appear for that purpose in the [[Transformers: Super-God Masterforce (manga)|manga]], and were also re-released as part of the ''Super-God Masterforce'' toyline.

The mighty '''Optimus Maximus''' was [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]]'s last-ditch attempt to protect the world of [[Caminus]]—and perhaps the entire galaxy—from [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]'s political machinations. Every Autobot involved in the combination process brings some of their own unique traits to the composite individual that is Optimus Maximus – the dependability of Ironhide, the strategic genius of Prowl, Mirage's cloaking powers, the courage of Optimus Prime and Sunstreaker's... good looks.

Optimus Maximus is the combined form of several [[Autobot]]s, though the precise limb configuration is variable:
*[[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] (torso)
*[[Mirage (G1)|Mirage]]
*[[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]]
*[[Ironhide (G1)|Ironhide]]
*[[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]]

[[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus]] is sometimes included as Optimus Maximus's chest piece. Optimus Prime can also form [[Ultra Prime]] by combining with a more random assortment of [[Transformer]]s.

[[File:Optimusmaximus.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|'Til all are one.]]
After [[Prowl (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Prowl]]'s first two attempts at stopping [[Starscream (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Starscream]] ended in his arrest, he fell back on his contingency plan: roping [[Rattrap (BW)|Rattrap]] into stealing the [[Enigma of Combination]] and delivering it to his cell—just as [[Ironhide (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Ironhide]], [[Mirage (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Mirage]], and [[Sunstreaker (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Sunstreaker]] arrived to meet with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Optimus Prime]]. Although Optimus tried to stop Rattrap, he activated the Enigma. The five Autobots were exposed to its energy, merging them into a new, combined form. With Prowl in control, the new combiner headed through the unstable [[space bridge]] portal, vowing to end the conflict once and for all. {{storylink|You, Me, and the Universe}}

[[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]] was not impressed with Prowl's "upgrade", and made his displeasure clear by clobbering him. Within, the other Autobots struggled against Prowl's analytical personality, weakening the combination and causing them to collapse. [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] and [[Defensor (G1)|Defensor]] were forced to help the struggling gestalt against Devastator and [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]]'s onslaught. Within the combiner's psyche, Optimus and Prowl finally reached a grudging understanding. As the brawling combiners bounced from world to world, the five separate minds united...causing the reinvigorated combiner to declare himself Optimus Maximus!

The three combiners managed to surround Devastator as they reappeared at Cybertron and tore him apart, reducing him to his components. With both combiners defeated, Optimus Maximus willingly separated himself so that Prowl could be arrested. Since Prowl was now in custody, a saddened Superion mused that Optimus Maximus might never form again. {{storylink|All That Remains}}

Prowl taunted Optimus Prime after his arrest, stating that their time together as Optimus Maximus meant that a part of Prowl would always exist in Prime's mind. {{storylink|Now and On Earth}}

Mirage also returned to the ''[[Lost Light]]'' along with the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]], making any future formations of Optimus Maximus even more unlikely. {{storylink|The Transgressors}} His death later made any reformations even less likely. {{storylink|The Plotters' Club (Part 3): Journey's End|Journey's End}}

The brawl between Optimus Maximus and Devastator unfortunately led the inhabitants of the Metrotitan [[Vigilem|Carcer]] to conclude that Cybertronians were conquerors only interested in exploiting other civilizations. {{storylink|The Will of the Few}}

After Optimus Prime had annexed Earth, [[Galvatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Galvatron]] put forth the idea to [[Arcee (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Arcee]] that Optimus' recent shift in attitude was a result of Prowl's personality influencing him due to their time spent as Optimus Maximus. {{storylink|All Hail Optimus Part 3: The Medium and the Message|The Medium and the Message}}

Inspired by a [[Masquerade|previous incident]] in which several Autobots combined together, [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]], [[Mirage (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Mirage]], [[Sunstreaker (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Sunstreaker]], [[Ironhide (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ironhide]] and [[Prowl (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Prowl]] initiated the "Masquerade Project" in the late 1980s, modifying their [[transformation cog]]s to adopt new combiner modes. Though the process was imperfect and unstable, they managed to combine into Optimus Maximus and defeat [[Slugslinger (G1)|Slugslinger]] during the battle for the [[Transform Super Cog]]. The combiner was then split apart when hit by an energy shockwave emitted by [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]]. {{storylink|Slugslinger's Ambition}}

In [[2021]] on Cybertron, Optimus Prime was temporarily resurrected in a new body and joined with the other four to form Optimus Maximus in response to the intervention of [[Megaempress]] and her [[4 Guards]]. Optimus Maximus proceeded to struggle against the mighty Decepticon combiner, whose onslaught prompted Optimus Maximus to shield [[Marissa Faireborn]] and [[Sue Faireborn|Sue]] from falling debris. {{storylink|Megatronia Chapter}} Their duel was interrupted by the arrival of [[Unicron]]'s head, prompting Optimus Maximus to disengage and separate into his components for the battle with Unicron's [[Commando (RID)|Combatrons]]. {{storylink|Baldigus Chapter, Part One}}When Unicron attempted to make Cybertron his new body, the Autobots reformed Optimus Maximus and fought the dark god directly until they were blown apart by his eye beams. Undaunted, Optimus Prime accepted [[Roller (G1)|Roller]] as his new right arm and became "Optimus Maximus Roller Edition", who punched Unicron's head so hard it was sent to the [[Triple Z Point]]. {{storylink|Baldigus Chapter, Part Two}}

==Notes==
*In his first comic appearance, Optimus Maximus appears with the red and blue torso colors of the original ''Combiner Wars'' Optimus Prime toy. The subsequent issue, meanwhile, swaps out the blue for Battle Core Optimus's white and gold parts whilst retaining all the red, presumably as a compromise to promote the new toy whilst not completely ignoring the previous installment.
*Maximus's limbs call to mind [[:File:TwoHeros optimus supermode.jpg |''Energon'' Optimus Prime's super-mode]], with a white limb (Prowl), a yellow limb (Sunstreaker), a blue limb (Mirage), and an orange limb (Ironhide... kinda). [[TakaraTomy]] would take advantage of this when releasing their "Convoy Grand Prime" set, putting the limbs in the standard configuration of the [[Prime Force]] drones for art and stock photos and fully painting the ''Energon''-inspired sculpting on Optimus's torso mode.
*Optimus Maximus also shares his limbs with [[Betatron]].
*Optimus Maximus reuses some of the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]]' hand/foot pieces in some of his appearances.

[[File:MagnabossBWII.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|"I don't know what continuity I'm supposed to be in, either."]]

'''Magnaboss''' (マグナボス ''Magunabosu'') is perhaps the ultimate teaching tool. When [[Skywarp (BWII)|Skywarp]] and [[Santon]] fail to impart a lesson upon their youthful charge [[Lio Junior]], combining into Magnaboss does the trick. Fusing Skywarp's intelligence and Santon's kindness with Lio Junior's courage, the result is a perfectly balanced warrior who achieves in seconds what it would take ''years'' of training to accomplish.

Through Magnaboss, Lio Junior is offered glimpses of the kind of warrior he ''could'' become if he'd just study, train and grow the heck up. And through Magnaboss, the other Maximals, including [[Lio Convoy]], can witness the troublesome cub's ultimate potential for themselves.

==Fiction==
===''Beast Wars II'' cartoon===
{{voiceactor|[[Yumiko Kobayashi]] (Japanese)}}

In the Valley of the Lions on the planet [[Gaia]], an injured Convoy was exposed to [[Angolmois]] energy during his reformatting into the lion moded [[Lio Convoy]]. As a side effect, his [[Energon Matrix]] was doubled, splitting off into an autonomous lion cub / Maximal, dubbed [[Lio Junior]]. Two Maximal officers named [[Santon]] and [[Skywarp (BWII)|Skywarp]] detected Lio Junior's awakening, and came to Gaia with high hopes for his destiny. They found they could initiate a fusion form with Lio Junior, creating a warrior named Magnaboss who represented the power, wisdom, and experience Lio Junior could one day achieve on his own. In the meantime, Santon and Skywarp could act as silent counselors for Lio Junior in guiding the Magnaboss gestalt. {{storylink|Enter Lio Junior}}

In his first battle, Magnaboss held his own against [[Galvatron (BWII)|Galvatron]], the Predacon Emperor of Destruction who had a similar link to the Angolmois energy of Gaia. Lio Convoy joined Magnaboss in his fight, and together they subdued Galvatron so that Magnaboss could plunge his Magna Blade into the villain's chest, causing him to leak Angolmois. Lio Junior and his mentors later reformed Magnaboss for their first battle with the Angolmois-empowered [[Megastorm|Gigastorm]] as well. {{storylink|Megastorm Reborn}}

The Maximals later attempted to eliminate Gigastorm again by luring him into a crevice and then detonating large quantities of natural gas under his feet. When that failed, however, Magnaboss was formed to engage in more conventional warfare against the enemy. {{storylink|The New Weapon, Tako Tank}} Magnaboss was formed again to defend the Maximals from an ill-fated raid on one of the [[Autoroller]]s' Angolmois-mining facilities. {{storylink|Gigastorm's Treachery}}

A dunk in Angolmois energy ended up making Starscream and BB into the more-powerful Hellscream and Max-B. Even Magnaboss had difficulty dealing with the enhanced warriors. {{storylink|The End of Starscream}} When dirge and Thrust were feeling underappreciated by the Predacons, they attempted to kidnap Lio Junior as the first step in their plan to draw out and eliminate Lio Convoy. Their plan never got to step two, though, for Lio Junior escaped and formed Magnaboss with his mentors, delivering a pounding to the Combatrons. {{storylink|The Lio Convoy Assassination Plot}}

After Lio Junior was tricked into providing Galvatron with the control unit for an alien teleport gate, the Predacons summoned the immensely powerful monster Cybertronian, [[Majin Zarak]]. Lio Junior escaped Predacon custody and reunited with Santon and Skywarp. They formed Magnaboss to press through the Predacon lines and seize control of the teleport gate themselves. Magnaboss was injured in this run, but even in his weakened state he selflessly provided some of his own energy to power the gate, summoning the legendary warrior [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]]. With Primal by his side, Magnaboss rescued the fallen Maximals who had been buried in a rockslide caused by Majin Zarak's power.

Despite his injuries, Magnaboss worked with [[Tasmania Kid]] to oppose Majin Zarak. After luring the beast to an isolated and walled-in valley, Magnaboss exerted all his strength and managed to tip over the enormous Majin Zarak in aircraft carrier mode. This forced Galvatron into retreat and Lio Convoy and Optimus Primal used their Energon Matrixes to destroy Majin Zarak himself. {{storylink|Lio Convoy in Imminent Danger!}}

As the Maximals tried to counter Nemesis's effect on Gaia, Magnaboss was formed to drive off the Predacons while the heroes tried to freeze the corrupted Angolmois. {{storylink|The Great Angolmois Freezing Tactic}} The Maximals planned to eliminate the artificial planet Nemesis using a modified artillery cannon from the [[Niagara Base]], powered up by Angolmois energy from a nearby volcano. While the ''Yukikaze'' crew led two decoy cannons towards the volcano, Magnaboss remained in reserve at the Niagara Base with the true cannon, waiting for the Predacons to be occupied. Once the enemy was engaged on two different fronts, Magnaboss grabbed up the cannon and physically carried it up to the firing point. When the cannon was charging, however, Magnaboss was confronted by Galvatron and [[Megastorm|Gigastorm]], who sabotaged the Angolmois tubes powering the cannon. Magnaboss separated so that Santon and Skywarp could occupy the Predacons while Lio Junior used his own internal Angolmois to power the weapon. {{storylink|Knock Out Nemesis}}

Impressed by Lio Junior's determination during their last encounter, Galvatron arranged to expose the young lion to evil Angolmois energy, giving him the opportunity to brainwash him against Lio Convoy. Santon and Skywarp attempted to merge with Lio Junior to prevent him from acting out, but they only ended creating a hostile but conflicted Magnaboss. Magnaboss tried haltingly to continue attacking Lio Convoy, until Lio Junior reached out to his father spark-to-spark, and asked him to spare Skywarp and Santon from having to harm anyone against their will. Luckily, Lio Convoy managed to absorb the evil Angolmois through his Energon Matrix, freeing Magnaboss and Lio Junior from the effects. {{storylink|Lio Junior's Revolt!?}}

When Galvatron corrupted the pure Angolmois energy inside Lio Junior with his own evil Angolmois, Santon and Skywarp attempted to forced merge with Lio Junior to control their brainwashed pupil. But Lio Junior's influence was too strong and even Magnaboss began haltingly carrying out the corrupted Lio Junior's will. Lio Convoy finally managed to drain off the corrupted Angolmois through his shared connection to Lio Junior's Energon Matrix, freeing all three Maximals from Galvatron's influence. {{storylink|Lio Junior's Revolt!?}}

When a Martian emissary robot arrived on Gaia, it claimed to be capable of stopping the corrupted Angolmois energy. Santon, Skywarp, and Lio Junior formed Magnaboss to block for Lio Convoy as he brought the robot to the mother computer necessary to complete its task. While battling the Cyborg Beasts, however, Lio Junior spotted and interacted with a robot named [[Moon (BWII)|Moon]]. Even merged with him as Magnaboss, Santon and Skywarp couldn't see the little android, but Lio Junior reported that Moon said the emissary robot planned to ''destroy'' Gaia. The mother computer would crash the moon into Gaua to prevent the escape of corrupted Angolmois into the universe. {{storylink|Emissary of the Fourth Planet}} As Magnaboss, the trio helped Lio Convoy and the other Maximals break through the mother computer's defenses and stop the emissary from ending all life on the planet. {{storylink|The Crisis of Planet Gaia}}

As the Maximals left Gaia to confront the Nemesis, Magnaboss intervened to help the ''[[Yukikaze (BWII)|Yukikaze]]'' crew get past Galvatron and make the launch of the star ship. {{storylink|Fly Out! Planet Gaia}} When the Maximals were forced down to an asteroid in mid-flight by the Seacons, Magnaboss formed to confront the enemy combiner [[God Neptune (BWII)|God Neptune]]. Magna Blade clashed with Neptune Sword, producing tremendous amounts of power. Lio Junior's combined form nearly met its match, but his fellow Maximals joined the fight allowing Magnaboss bring God Neptune down with an Angolmois Ball.
{{storylink|Revenge of the Space Pirates}}

As they arrived on Nemesis, Lio Convoy took [[Scuba]] deep into the artificial planet's core to stop the Angolmois flow. Lio Junior was left behind to form Magnaboss, working with the other Maximals to defend the access port Lio Convoy entered from any Predacon opposition. During the battle, however, Lio Junior detected Lio Convoy was in trouble while fighting Galvatron in tunnels flooded with raw Angolmois, and he separated from the Magnaboss combination to seek out his father and help him. {{storylink|Breaking into Nemesis}}

Having fought together for eons from their time as [[Autobot]]s, their spark fusion into a new persona is a rousing success as well. Magnaboss has Prowl's analytic mind, Ironhide's great courage, and Silverbolt's deep compassion. As a leader, he is inspirational, and as a warrior, he has forged a legend that has made him a symbol of Maximal unity and strength. His weapon of choice, the megaton battle sword, is forged from the combination of all the weapons of Magnaboss's component Transformers.

In what would be the final battle of the war, Magnaboss was deployed against [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Megatron]]'s rogue contingent. The combiner easily held the line against the [[Decepticon]]s until the [[Tripredacus Council]] surrendered shortly afterwards. {{storylink|Dawn of the Predacus}}

Though he disappeared from public view after the signing of the [[Pax Cybertronia]], a legend arose that he would return at a time when the Maximals needed him most. {{storylink|Transformers: Beast Wars Sourcebook|Beast Wars Sourcebook #2}}

===''Classics''===
When modifying the Autobots' bodies to handle the unstable [[energon]] on prehistoric [[Earth]] of [[Primax -408.24 Epsilon|another dimension]], Prowl included a contingency plan, allowing himself, Silverbolt, and Ironhide to merge into Magnaboss. The new ability was first demonstrated when the Autobots, now calling themselves Maximals, were attempting to retrieve their [[Graviton (Classics)|ship]]'s missing energy purifier. Facing [[God Neptune (BWSG)|God Neptune]], the trio merged into Magnaboss. Unfortunately the added power still wasn't enough, and the Maximals were left defeated. {{storylink|Shattered Hope}} Magnaboss briefly formed to again fight God Neptune, only to be soundly defeated by [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]]'s [[Gigastorm Armor]]. {{storylink|Shattered Destiny}}

*'''Magnaboss''' (Ultra, 1997)

:Magnaboss was sold as a boxed 3-pack of [[Prowl (G1)/toys#Beast Wars|Prowl]], [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#Beast Wars|Ironhide]], and [[Silverbolt (G1)#Beast Wars|Silverbolt]], each packaged in [[beast mode]]. He is formed by combining the trio, with Ironhide forming the arms, legs, and waist, and Silverbolt and Prowl forming the upper torso and robot head.

:He wields a sword formed by combining Prowl's tail weapon, Silverbolt's feather fringes, and Ironhide's clubs; he can also use Silverbolt's wingtip missile launchers, which end up as part of his chest.

:By design or misengineering, his head ends up tilted back a bit, perpetually gazing upwards. Like his counterpart [[Tripredacus]], Magnaboss has a fandom reputation as one of the most complex toys of his era.

:Magnaboss was [[redeco]]ed as ''[[Beast Wars II: Super Lifeform Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars II]]'' [[Magnaboss (BWII)#Toys|Magnaboss]].

==Notes==
*The tech spec for Magnaboss, like many ''Beast Wars'' toys, contains little character information. The identification of his components as the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] characters of the same names was established by [[IDW Publishing|IDW]] in their ''[[Transformers: Beast Wars Sourcebook|Beast Wars Sourcebook]]''.
*Before "Dawn of the Predacus" was given to IDW to produce, it was initially proposed as a ''Beast Wars: Uprising'' story. Early brainstorming had Magnaboss as an antagonistic Builder weapon engineered by the returned [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]]/[[Prowl II]]. Magnaboss would then have been heroically stopped by [[Predacus]].<ref>[https://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/140167-ama-bish-jesse-jim/?p=3516260 Post by NightViper on The Allspark Forums, 2017/05/27]</ref><ref>[https://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/140167-ama-bish-jesse-jim/?p=3516969 Post by Jim S on The Allspark Forums, 2017/05/28]</ref>

[[File:Machtackle.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|They're Engines. Engines! I'm not a fem-bot! Ask Tacklemach!]]
'''Machtackle''' (マッハタックル ''Mahhatakkuru'') is a dynamic duo of a machine composed of the [[Multiforce]] members [[Mach (Victory)|Mach]] and [[Tackle]]. As a combatant he is skilled enough to defeat the [[Dinoforce]], though typically he is ordered into reserve when [[Breastforce]] becomes involved.

Ordinarily Mach forms the top half of this combiner, but when Tackle forms the top half, their combined form is called '''Tacklemach''' (タックルマッハ ''Takkurumahha'').

==Fiction==

{{voiceactor|[[Yūki Satō]] (Japanese)}}

Machtackle helped wipe the floor with the Dinoforce during an assault on a power plant, though it became necessary to become [[Landcross (Victory)|Landcross]] to defeat the powerful [[Dinoking]]. {{storylink|Unite!! Multiforce}} Machtackle investigated the sudden appearance of a large sinkhole on [[Tom]]'s farm in [[Canada]]. Machtackle split up into [[Mach (Victory)|Mach]] and [[Tackle]] to investigate. There they discovered a Decepticon base. They were forced to deal with the [[Breastforce]] on their own until reinforcements arrived. During the fight, Tackle suggested they combine with him forming the top half, forming Tacklemach. After the fight Tackle said he would rather form the legs from now on since his battle tactics weren't as good as Mach's. {{storylink|Mach and Tackle}}

After stumbling into the past through a dimensional rift, Mach, Tackle, and the rest of the Multiforce joined forces with the Autobots from the local timeframe. Mach and Tackle combined into Machtackle to take on [[Decepticon Sixbuilder]]s, but struggled with fending off the Decepticons when [[Sixwing|Berserker Sixwing]] joined the fight. Machtackle then separated into his components so that they could recombine into [[Landcross (Victory)|Landcross]] and defeat the more formidable opponent. {{storylink|The Menace of Landcross's Combining Formation!}}

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

[[File:Liokaiser.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|They call me Kibblefree!]]
'''Liokaiser''' (ライオカイザー ''Raiokaizā'') is the combined form of the [[Breastforce]], an elite combat team consisting of land and air assault vehicles who hail from the [[Death Zone]]. He is powerful, cruel, merciless, and — unlike pretty much every other combiner — intelligent to boot. This ruthless killing machine is an expert in melee combat and possesses the power of invisibility. He's fought against [[Star Saber (Victory)|Star Saber]], [[Road Caesar]], [[Landcross (Victory)|Landcross]], and [[Galaxy Shuttle]], promptly beating the stuffing out of each. His emergence swung the war heavily in favour of the Decepticons until [[Ginrai (robot)|God Ginrai]] was reborn as [[Victory Leo]]. It's possible the only opponents he can't contend with are Victory Saber and [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]], but that won't stop him trying.

Liokaiser is composed of the Decepticons [[Leozack]], [[Drillhorn (Victory)|Drillhorn]], [[Guyhawk]], [[Hellbat (Victory)|Hellbat]], [[Jallguar]], and [[Killbison]]. Despite their unusually high levels of coordination and ruthlessness, Liokaiser's performance may suffer if the individual minds get distracted. In some universes, [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]] takes Leozack and Jallguar's place as a 5-bot combiner, with [[Ion Scythe]] serving as a weapon.

==Fiction==
===Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
====''Victory'' cartoon====
{{voiceactor|[[Keiichi Nanba]] (Japanese)|[[Simon Broad]] (English, Omni Productions dub)}}
[[File:UniteLiokaiser Liokaiser spins nunchaku.jpg|thumb|left|300px|"Up where the smoke is all billered and curled, 'Tween pavement and stars is the chimney sweep world"]]
As the war between Autobots and Decepticons intensified on Earth, Deathsaurus began calling in members of the Breastforce to aid him. Although effective on their own, team leader Leozack began making preparations to unleash his team's true potential, leading an attack on Planet Micro to liberate Guyhawk {{storylink|Rescue! Guyhawk}} and calling in his more trustworthy comrade [[Deathcobra (Victory)|Deathcobra]] to replace the scheming Hellbat as part of Liokaiser. Unfortunately, Hellbat arrived bearing news of Deathcobra's death at the hands of [[Holi]] — in truth covering his own role in his fellow Decepticon's murder — and the Breastforce would perform their first combination "in some time" to battle [[Star Saber (Victory)|Star Saber]], who arrived in defense of Holi and his friends.

Liokaiser proved a great challenge for Star Saber, badly damaging and nearly defeating him. Star Saber was only saved by the arrival of [[Ginrai (robot)|God Ginrai]], but he too proved no match for Liokaiser on his own. Working together, the injured Autobots managed to immobilize Liokaiser and deliver a flurry of powerful blows. Deciding to call it a day after that, Liokaiser separated into his components and withdrew. {{storylink|Unite! Liokaiser}}

The ease at which Liokaiser matched Star Saber in battle left a dark cloud on [[Jan Minakaze]]'s mind, leading him to beg Star Saber to defeat the new Decepticon combiner when they next met. Such a chance arrived when Deathsaurus' forces attempted to steal [[Schaeffer Energy]], and the Breastforce combined once again to battle Star Saber. Liokaiser soon found himself at an advantage, especially when Star Saber abandoned the fight to stop a tower from falling on a residential area, but he was prevented from finishing his foe when the Brainmasters intervened in their combined form, Road Caesar. Liokaiser proceeded to dominate his new opponent, but the battle gave Holi and [[Rescue Patrol Team|his team]] time to evacuate the civilians, allowing Star Saber to rejoin the fray. The Autobot leader launched a furious assault on Liokaiser, but the fight was interrupted by Deathsaurus, who had secured the Schaeffer Energy. Liokaiser was thus forced to withdraw with his allies, but not before warning Star Saber that his presence would allow the Decepticons to plunder Earth as they wished.

[[File:AntarcticBattle Invisible Liokaiser.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|"Right, where's my invisible sandwich?"]]
Later Hellbat came up with a plan to steal energy from Antarctica which Deathsaurus approved. When the Multiforce Autobots [[Wing (Victory)|Wing]] and [[Mach (Victory)|Mach]] showed up, the Breastforce decided to engage in some overkill by combining into Liokaiser. The Autobots were outclassed by Liokaiser, but the rest of the Multiforce arrived and they all combined into [[Landcross (Victory)|Landcross]]. Liokaiser's ability to become invisible allowed him to trounce Landcross and the Multiforce were forced to separate again. Wing and Mach used a multi-gamma string to grab Liokaiser and throw them in the Decepticon's mine shaft but he was able to cling to the mining equipment and escape. The Multiforce combined again but with no more of a plan than the first time, were set upon by the invisible Liokaiser. Star Saber was able to arrive to save Landcross's hide, but Liokaiser claimed that Star Saber had no more right to Earth than the Decepticons. Even Star Saber had trouble against Liokaiser, who unleashed a "Battle Explosion" maneuver, in which he briefly separated so the individual Breastforce could attack. They continued to fight until Liokaiser had Star Saber on the ropes, at which point [[Galaxy Shuttle]] jumped in the way of the Decepticon's attack. As Liokaiser was about to finish Star Saber, Deathsaurus stepped in to do the job himself, though Liokaiser believed he himself should have been the one to face the Autobot. He retreated when the drilling device was destroyed. {{storylink|Fight to the Death!! Antarctic Battle}}

Later the Decepticons set a trap for the Autobots in the desert, it was going well until Guyhawk's old friend [[Greatshot]] showed up and turned the tide. Guyhawk suggested they combine into Liokaiser, but Leozack overrode him; the other members of the Breastforce had sustained too much damage from Greatshot to do so. As such, the villains were forced to retreat. {{storylink |Crisis! Ambush in the Desert}}

[[File:ADeadlyBattle Liokaiser faces Star Saber.jpg|thumb|left|"Behold the awesome weapon that NONE of my toys have! Except the PVC figure, but that doesn't count."]]
Liokaiser appeared again in an attack on an Autobot base in Asia, but it turned out to be a trap to destroy Star Saber. After damaging the [[V-Star]], the Breastforce combined to meet Star Saber in combat. After the Autobot leader broke Liokaiser's [[Electromagnetic Nunchaku]] with his sword, Liokaiser led him into a ring of explosive statues before disappearing. Star Saber subsequently fell into a pit, where he was set on by Deathsaurus, and Liokaiser dropped a boulder on him, bragging that the Decepticons would be able to do whatever they wanted to the planet after Star Saber perished. Before he and Deathsaurus were able to destroy him, God Ginrai came to the rescue again. As Deathsaurus pounded on Ginrai, Star Saber was held by Liokaiser so he was unable to come to his comrade's aid. Star Saber broke free and stabbed Deathsaurus. Though badly injured, the Decepticon leader would have fought on, but Liokaiser convinced him to retreat when Autobot reinforcements arrived. {{storylink|A Deadly Battle}}.

Liokaiser would not be used again until much later, when Leozack was pretending to be Star Saber in a mission to get the Unification plans for the Autobot leader and [[Victory Leo]]. Leozack managed to return the plans to the Breastforce, but they were confronted by Victory Leo and Star Saber, who merged into Victory Saber. The Breastforce responded by combining into Liokaiser, but the combiner was easily defeated by Victory Saber. He fled through the ruins, collapsing him behind him and almost got Victory Saber that way, but no dice. {{storylink|A Mystery?! The Deception of the Base Bombs}}

[[File:Liokaiser death.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|"B-but I don't ''want'' to get a "Greyscale" [[redeco]]!"]]
When Deathsaurus raised [[Atlantis]], the Breastforce was sent to keep Star Saber busy. When he and Victory Leo merged, so did the Breastforce, but Liokaiser wasn't much of a match for Victory Saber. As a huge tsunami headed towards them, Liokaiser separated so the Breastforce could board the ''[[Thunder Arrow]]'', leaving Victory Saber to face the wave alone. {{storylink|The Terror of the Giant Tidal Waves}} After Deathsaurus's [[Planet-Destroying Fortress]] was up and running again, Liokaiser attempted to stop Victory Saber, but only lasted a few seconds before being blasted back into the fortress in one shot. {{storylink|The Wrath of the Resurrected Giant Fortress!}} As the Fortress neared Earth, Liokaiser was sent out to stop Victory Saber from entering it, thought with orders not to kill the Autobot. At one point, Victory Saber separated, with only Victory Leo staying to face Liokaiser, but the combiner had trouble even with just him. After struggling with the Autobot for a time, Liokaiser managed to fling Victory Leo away, only for a burst of fire from the Autobot's guns to sent him flying into the Fortress's main cannon. Still charging, the cannon drained him of his energy, and Liokaiser's lifeless grey body was flung off into space. {{storylink|Showdown! The Fortress vs the Victory Unification}}

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

===''Victory'' manga===
[[File:StarOfFriendship Liokaiser argument.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|"Don't make me turn this combiner around!"]]
Frustrated at not being able to find the Breastforce, [[Jan Minakaze]] kicked a piece of junk over a rise, only to hear a noise of pain from Liokaiser, who was hiding behind it. Liokaiser announced that, as Deathsaurus was laid up with some illness, Jan and Star Saber were going to have to face him instead. Jan and Star Saber combined, but were seized by the combiner, only for his component parts to start arguing over which of them would finish the Autobots off. Distracted, Liokaiser was thus unable to prevent the pair wriggling free and ganging up on him. The Breastforce retreated hastily. {{storylink|The Star of Friendship, Jan and Star Saber!}}

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

**''Accessories:'' 2 pairs of Weapon/Combiner extremities (both white & dark gray), 2 Sword-rifles, 2 pairs of double-barreled guns (both white & dark gray), Ironbison's Tank cannon/gun, Drillhorn's Drill-gun, Ion Scythe

:''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Liokaiser is composed of the Destrons, including "[[Deathsaurus (Victory)#Generations|Dezarus]]"—who is a retool of ''Combiner Wars'' [[Sky Lynx (G1)#Generations|Sky Lynx]] in homage to his dragon-like monster alt-mode. His tooling changes include a new shuttle nose/dragon face finned helmet, and a new combiner mode face (underneath the upper half of [[Sky Reign#Generations|Sky Reign]]'s head, now used as a helmet) inspired by the original Liokaiser's.

:All four limbs include new, animation-accurate heads—Fellbat (renamed for obvious reasons) and Guyhawk were redecoed/retooled from ''Combiner Wars'' [[Skydive (G1 Aerialbot)#Generations|Skydive]] and [[Air Raid (G1)#Generations|Air Raid]] respectively (with two of their double-barreled guns each), whilst Ironbison (also renamed) and Drillhorn were redecoed/retooled from ''Combiner Wars'' [[Brawl (G1)#CombinerWars|Brawl]] (with Drillhorn using BotCon 2016 [[Ram Horn#Combiner Wars|General Ramhorn]]'s drill). Also included is Ion Scythe, a new character redecoed from ''Arms Micron'' [[Gul]].

:Unlike the original Liokaiser toy, ''Platinum Edition'' Liokaiser is designed to have his legs attached with the tank body facing forward as opposed to facing sideways. While the legs can be attached sideways to achieve a look similar to the original toy's design, doing so will rob Liokaiser of his functional knees.

:Liokaiser also comes with a collector card and a huge poster based on his [[package art|packaging art]] in a large box, as 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.

==Notes==
*Although his name is pronounced and often written as "Liokaiser", the 1989 toy's paperwork calls him "Liocaesar", in English. This is at odds with [[Road Caesar]]'s name, which is pronounced as it would be in English. Then again, the same paperwork consistently spells "Breastforce" as "Brestforce", so who knows.
*''Kre-O'' Liokaiser holds the distinction of being the first fiction-only [[Micro-Changer#Combiners|Micro-Changer Combiner]], but like most comic Kreons he's still made up of existing Kre-O parts. His [[Leozack]] torso includes the [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Starscream]] helmet and wing-pack (worn backwards), while his [[Guyhawk]] arm uses [[Dirge (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Dirge]]'s nosecone and wings with two Starscream arm blasters clipped onto the same type of brick used to hold the Dirge wings. His [[Killbison]] leg is mostly covered and hard to make out, but appears to make use of the [[Bludgeon (G1)#Kre-O|Bludgeon]]/[[Warpath (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Warpath]] treads.

'''Legout''' (レッグアウト ''Regguauto'') is the combination of [[Dile]] and [[Saur]], and contains a supercomputer that records information for the [[Autobot|Autobots]]. Unlike his older brother, [[Decibel]], Legout is carefree and easily enthused. His shoulder-mounted Wave Blasters can overload Decepticon audio receptors and deafen them, which makes them ''not'' so enthused.

When Metrotitan and [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]]'s forces returned to finish the job, Legout eagerly joined the battle. As the Decepticons beat a hasty retreat after a show of colossal power from Metroplex, [[Manta Ray (G2)|Manta Ray]] helped Legout back to his feet, which the combiner took in stride. {{Storylink|Metrowars}}

'''Landcross''' (ランドクロス ''Randokurosu'') is the combined form of all three [[Multiforce]] warriors, making him the combined form of all six Multiforce warriors.

Landcross is composed of:

*[[Wingwaver]] (the combined form of [[Wing (Victory)|Wing]] and [[Waver]])
*[[Dashtacker]] (the combined form of [[Dash (Victory)|Dash]] and [[Tacker]])
*[[Machtackle]] (the combined form of [[Mach (Victory)|Mach]] and [[Tackle]])

==Fiction==
===Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
====''Victory'' cartoon====
:''Voice actor:'' [[Masashi Hironaka]] (Japanese)

When the Decepticons attempted to steal an energy plant, the Multiforce arrived to repel them. Wishing to prove themselves capable warriors, they elected not to contact [[Star Saber (Victory)|Star Saber]], and instead combined into Landcross to combat [[Dinoking]].

Things were looking grim when, thanks to an SOS sent by [[Jan Minakaze]], Star Saber and the [[Brainmaster]]s arrived. Landcross and Star Saber jointly fought off Dinoking, and Star Saber admonished Landcross not to be so reckless. {{storylink|Unite!! Multiforce}}

Later, with an injury sustained by [[Blacker]] leaving the [[Brainmaster]]s unable to form [[Road Caesar]], {{storylink|Battle Up of Wrath!!}} the Multiforce journeyed to [[Antarctica]] to counter a Decepticon attack on an UN scientific survey. They formed Landcross and fought [[Liokaiser]] alongside [[Galaxy Shuttle]], but got their skidplates whupped. Fortunately, Star Saber was able to arrive in time to turn the tide. {{storylink|Fight to the Death!! Antarctic Battle}}

Landcross was later beaten up by Dinoking in America, but was saved by [[Victory Leo]]. {{storylink|Fight!! Victory Leo}} When [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]] launched his final attack on Earth, Landcross managed to blow up one of the asteroids fired from the [[Planet-Destroying Fortress]], but was badly injured in the resulting explosion. After the war, he was assigned to [[Vega Sector]] and given the rank of governor. {{storylink|Showdown! The Fortress vs the Victory Unification}}

====''Zone'' cartoon====
Landcross was seen among other high-ranking Autobots (such as [[Road Caesar]], [[Grand Maximus]], [[Metalhawk (Masterforce)|Metalhawk]], [[Lander]], and the Autobot [[Godmaster (lifeform)|Godmasters]]) when [[Dai Atlas (Zone)|Dai Atlas]] was sworn-in by [[Star Saber (Victory)|Victory Saber]] as the new [[Supreme Commander]] of the Autobot forces. {{storylink|Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!}}

====''Micromaster''====
After falling through a dimensional rift while testing their new stealth modes, the Multiforce combined into Landcross to fight [[Sixwing|Berserker Sixwing]] in the past. They kicked his butt. {{storylink|The Menace of Landcross's Combining Formation!}}

====Ask Vector Prime====
The Multiforce followed the normal flow of time to return to their native period, making sure to not interfere with events they knew had to transpire. They eventually battled the [[Praetorian]] in the [[Vega Sector]], with the new hyper-evolved bodyform [[Gaiacross]]. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/06/01}}

===''Victory'' manga===
The Multiforce was summoned to Earth by Star Saber and battled Dinoking as Landcross. After defeating Dinoking, Landcross separated in order to swarm Deathsaurus with superior numbers. {{storylink|Magnificent! Our Friend, Star Saber!}}

On their next mission, the Multiforce were unable to best Deathsaurus while combined as Landcross. Even the arrival of Road Caesaar and Star Saber didn't tip the balance of power in their favor. Only after [[Solon Kitakaze (Victory)|Solon]] accidentally distracted Deathsaurus were the Autobots able to get the upper hand. {{storylink|Great Turn-Around! Star Saber}}

Sometime later, Landcross and Road Caesar arrived too late for battle, as Victory Saber had already moved down all the Decepticons in his path. {{storylink|The Strongest Partners, the Combination of Victory!}} Landcross also fought against the Decepticon space base in the final battle when it was raining meteors down upon Earth. {{storylink|Heroic! The Victory War}}

*'''Landcross''' (1989)
** ''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-319'''
:The original version of Landcross was available both as a giftset and separately as Wingwaver, Dashtacker, and Machtackle, although the individual robots were never sold separately. In addition to transforming separately into robot and vehicle modes and combining into Landcross, the six toys could also be combined in two-robot pairs, with one robot forming the head, upper torso, and arms and the other forming the lower torso and legs. The six robots' guns could be combined into a single large weapon.

===Micromaster===
* '''Landcross''' (Micromaster, 2003)

:In 2004, the entire Multiforce was re-released as part of ''[[The Transformers: Micromaster]]'' (despite having never previously been considered Micromasters), in individual boxes with a number visible to show which mold was inside each box. For this release, all of the decals from the original version were replaced with paint applications. Landcross could only be assembled by buying all six components individually; he was never offered as a complete set.

:In every case of twelve Multiforce "Micromasters," two of them were solid-black-plastic "stealth mode" variations. All six toys were available in this manner, and could be combined into a black "stealth mode" Landcross.

==Notes==
*Oddly enough, only half of ''Land''cross's components transform into land vehicles.
