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

His adherence to past battle experiences can often leave him unprepared for unexpected changes in the battlefield.
 
Drillhorn is accompanied by his [[Breast Animal]] partner, [[Hornbreast]], a robotic rhino that can transform into either his chestplate or a hand-held blaster. Like his fellow Breastforce warriors, he is also armed with an [[Electromagnetic Nunchaku]].
 
Drillhorn can also combine with his Breastforce teammates to form [[Liokaiser]], becoming the left leg of the super robot.

To keep the Autobots busy while the fortress's main cannon charged, Deathsaurus dispatched the Breastforce—combined as Liokaiser—to battle them. In the course of the clash, Victory Leo was able to blast Liokaiser into the fortress's cannon barrel, which drained his energy dry.

A veteran strategist, Drillhorn can be stubborn and opinionated, convinced he knows better than anyone else. Even commanding officers get the rough edge of his audio modulators if he doesn't agree with their strategy. Unfortunately, this bull-headed approach to warfare sometimes gets him in deep trouble and right in the firing line. But being very tough he manages to escape with few if any injuries.

The name or term "Drillhorn" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Drillhorn (disambiguation).
Drillhorn is a Decepticon Breastforce Warrior from the Victory portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
He was reaching for your purse before reaching for your purse was cool.

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

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

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

Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers

[edit]

Nosecone's evil brother.
  • Drillhorn (Breastforce, 1989)
Released in the Victory portion of Takara's Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers toyline, Drillhorn transforms into a four-treaded drill-tank (the drill doesn't spin, sorry). His packed-in partner Hornbreast fits securely on Drillhorn's chest in either mode. Drillhorn can also use Hornbreast as a hand-held blaster.
Drillhorn also forms the left leg to the group's combined form Liokaiser; unlike most original-series combiners, Drillhorn's combiner "kibble" is fully integrated, with the combiner foot simply flipping out from the side of his leg.
This mold was used to make Rescue Force 3.


  • Liocaesar [sic] (Gift set, 1989)
  • ID number: D-335
Drillhorn was also available in a complete six-piece box set of the entire Breastforce team. Each toy was identical to their individual releases, with the glaring omission of bio and Tech Spec cards for the individual members.

Combiner Wars

[edit]
We were robbed!
  • Liokaiser (Platinum Edition giftset, 2016)
  • Accessories: Drill attachment, double-barreled gun (black), hand/foot/gun
Generations Combiner Wars Drillhorn is a redeco and new-head retooling of Combiner Wars Brawl, transforming into a tank of indeterminate, probably-made-up model. Instead of a cannon-barrel, he comes with the (non-spinning) drill attachment included with the BotCon 2016 General Ramhorn and Hasbro's Combiner Wars Nosecone. Unlike those two, however, his tank mode is in the normal Brawl orientation with the drill replacing the cannon-barrel, rather than putting the drill on the back of the turret and turning the whole mode around as with Ramhorn and Nosecone. This drill attachment can also be a hand-held weapon in robot mode. He also comes with a black redeco of Combiner Wars Air Raid's double-barreled blaster.
As a Combiner Wars Deluxe limb, he can combine with any Voyager Class toys released as part of that subline or the Unite Warriors line, or form one of Legends Godbomber's legs, but is of course intended to be combined with his pack-in Destrons and "Dezarus" to form Liokaiser. His nominal placement is as the left leg.
Unlike the original toy, Drillhorn is designed to have his leg mode facing forward as opposed to facing sideways. While it can be attached sideways to achieve a look similar to the original toy's design, doing so will rob the Combiner of its functional knees.
Drillhorn was only available as part of a boxed Liokaiser giftset, the only Combiner Wars "Collection Pack" that's co-branded as part of the 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.
