	* The ''Victory'' anime depicted the Dinoforce members as carrying melee weapons, rather than the blasters the toys actually came with; Goryu packs a large club which he mainly uses to brain his subordinates, but it can also create rings of energy that can ensnare targets. And while they are sometimes depicted as riding their shells (Goryu more often than the others), obviously the toys proper cannot do this. ''Plus'', their mechanical beast modes are never shown, making them kind of the mirror of the ''[[Transformers: Super-God Masterforce (cartoon)\|Super-God Masterforce]]'' [[Seacon (Masterforce)\|Seacons]].		* The ''Victory'' anime depicted the Dinoforce members as carrying melee weapons, rather than the blasters the toys actually came with; Goryu packs a large club which he mainly uses to brain his subordinates, but it can also create rings of energy that can ensnare targets.

The monster mode head that sits behind his robot mode head for both his original toy and in the anime has been reinterpreted as detailing on the back of his robot head, adding serrated edges to the back half of his noggin compared to the anime design.

	: Goryu also forms the left leg to [[Dinoking#Legacy\|Dinoking]]. In this form, a new pair of large (non-firing) missile racks that come with his teammate [[Rairyu#Legacy\|Rairyu]] form footplates for that little extra bit of height and stability. His club forms the lower handle to Dinoking's huge axe.		: Goryu also forms the left leg to [[Dinoking#Legacy\|Dinoking]].

In the aftermath of the [[Surge (event)\|Surge]], he was freed and made part of [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Shockwave]]'s hand-picked crew. What none of this crew knew was that they had been hand-picked specifically because they were all on [[The List]], and Shockwave intended to surrender them to the [[Decepticon Justice Division]] to save his own life. This proved unnecessary when the arrival of the ''[[Torment]]'' drove them off. {{storylink\|The Ties That Bind (issue)\|The Ties That Bind}}
