[edit]- Voice actor: Hiroshi Takemura (Japanese){{#if: |, {{{2}}}}}
God Ginrai became good friends with Star Saber and his adopted human son, Jan. The Brave Hero of the Universe - Star Saber Before long, Star Saber was appointed Supreme Commander of the Autobots, but not before asking God Ginrai for advice and a promise that the Godmaster would help out the Brainmaster in his duties as Autobot leader. Ginrai Dies!! God Ginrai would subsequently become commander of the Second Army. The Brave Hero of the Universe - Star Saber Operating out of the base in the G Nebula, God 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. Planet Micro - The Mysterious Warrior
Feeling guilty over taking up Star Saber's time in such a manner, God Ginrai was quick to come to his aid when the newly reunited Breastforce combiner Liokaiser proved too much for Star Saber to handle, Unite! Liokaiser and also later when Star Saber was lured into a trap on Earth by Decepticon Emperor of Destruction Deathsaurus. Confronting Deathsaurus in battle, God Ginrai was struck by a blast from the villain's Living-Metal-Destroying Cannon and fatally damaged. A Deadly Battle
Despite the best medical efforts of Perceptor, Wheeljack, and Minerva, God 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 God Ginrai insisted. Perceptor and Wheeljack brought his life functions to an end, and then restored him to Star Saber's specifications as Victory Leo. 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. Fight!! Victory Leo When Jan was trapped in a collapsed building as Victory Leo battled the Breastforce, his pleas for help reached Victory Leo, and God Ginrai's buried persona emerged. Remembering his connections to the other Autobots, Victory Leo rescued Jan and Holi. Awaken! Victory Leo
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 Brainmasters 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. 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 Goryu capture Jan's 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. Jan - Defend the Campus!!
When Breastforce member Leozack impersonated Star Saber so that he could steal the manual to Star Saber and Victory Leo's combination, the latter realized that something was amiss thanks to his "animal senses". However, the other Autobots were not convinced to break their trust in the "Supreme Commander" and Leozack attempted to turn them against Victory Leo. The true Star Saber showed up in the nick of time and combined with Victory Leo to put an end to the Decepticon plot. At the end of the day, the Autobots apologized to Victory Leo for not believing him. A Mystery?! The Deception of the Base Bombs Victory Leo's friendship with Jan continued, with the Autobot assisting the human in training in the Illumina II. When Star Saber caught in a trap by Deathsaurus, Victory Leo and the Autobots rushed to assist, but were held back by a barrier. However, they discovered that the barrier did not react to the nonliving metal in the Illumina II, allowing Jan to create a hole that Victory Leo could pass through. Inside, they were threatened by the Doriya, till Victory Leo hit on the idea of using his Freezer Beam to freeze the insects. After Jan succeeded in taking down the barrier, Victory Saber was formed and the combined warrior sent the Decepticons into retreat. The Death-Bringing Space Insects!!
When the Decepticons forced Atlantis to rise from the ocean floor, the resulting tsunami caused damage across the Atlantic coasts, and Victory Leo was sent to assist Star Saber in holding up train tracks in Spain to allow evacuations to proceed. They were interrupted in the middle of their efforts by the Breastforce and soon formed Victory Saber to fight against their enemies. Victory Saber had Liokaiser on the ropes till another tsunami approached. The combined warrior was swallowed up by the water, but managed to emerge unscathed. The Terror of the Giant Tidal Waves
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. 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. Showdown! The Fortress vs the Victory Unification
