The Breastforce are a Decepticon subgroup from the Generation 1 continuity family.
A team of boobs.

The Breastforce (ブレストフォース Buresutofōsu) (tee hee!) are Deathsaurus's elite troopers, comprising some of the most vile Decepticons imaginable, from murderous back-stabbers to incarcerated convicts, all hailing from the Death Zone. Deathsaurus himself is also a member of the subgroup, but the name is most often used to refer to the elite six-robot team that serves under him. The group derives their... unusual name from the Breast Animals they are partnered with, which transform from their titular (snicker) breastplate armor into an autonomous robotic animal or hand-held blaster. Don't let the name fool you, the Breastforce are nothing to laugh at.

The core six members of the Breastforce are:

Others members include:

Leozack, Drillhorn, Guyhawk, Hellbat, Jallguar, and Killbison can combine to form the super-warrior Liokaiser. Deathcobra was also capable of combining with the team, but died before he got the chance. Sometimes, Deathsaurus takes the place of both Leozack and Jallguar as the combiner's torso.

Sometimes they are called the Destrons.

Fiction

Cartoon continuity

Invading a Tron machine near you!

Leozack was the first of the Breastforce to join Deathsaurus for his campaign against Earth, Sneak Attack! Dinoking but he quickly developed designs on Decepticon leadership himself. Move Out! Rescue Team He was soon joined by his teammates Drillhorn, Jallguar and Killbison, Unite!! Multiforce and the team performed such missions as the raiding of the Neo Uranium Mines Infiltration... The Uranium Mine and the theft of energy from an American subway system. During the latter mission, the team's Breast Animals came to the fore, as they were unleashed upon the Autobots in the cramped quarters of the underground tunnels. Big City - Underground Terror

Leozack later summoned the fifth Breastforcer, Hellbat, to Earth, but upon witnessing his leader getting dressed down by Deathsaurus, Hellbat decided he himself would make a better leader for the Breastforce. The New Warrior - Hellbat Ever the schemer, Hellbat's honeyed words roped the rest of the Breastforce into several plots, like the theft of energy from a shuttle port Attack the Shuttle Base!! or the ransom of Marine City. Tanker Hijack Operation Since the silver-tongued sneak was usually able to pass the blame for any failures on to Leozack, none of the other Breastforce members really trusted Hellbat, and Leozack began making plans to get rid of him. After rescuing their sixth teammate, Guyhawk, from the Planet Micro Satellite Penitentiary, Rescue! Guyhawk Leozack summoned his old friend Deathcobra so that he could boot Hellbat out and the remaining six could combine into the giant robot, Liokaiser. Attempting to secure his position on the team, Hellbat petitioned Deathcobra to leave, but when a fight broke out between the two, Hellbat accidentally killed Deathcobra and blamed the murder on the Autobot Micromaster Holi. Seeking revenge, the Breastforce merged into Liokaiser and defeated Star Saber in their first battle. Unite! Liokaiser

Oh, not another black recolor...

Back on Earth, the Breastforce battled Star Saber and Road Caesar at the Schaeffer Energy plant, Battle Up of Wrath!! and then went up against Landcross in the South Pole. Fight to the Death!! Antarctic Battle They later lured the Brainmasters into an ambush in the desert Crisis! Ambush in the Desert and helped Deathsaurus battle Star Saber, A Deadly Battle then proceeded to perform numerous energy raids across the world, Ginrai Dies!! only to be repeatedly stymied by new Autobot Victory Leo Fight!! Victory Leo Awaken! Victory Leo and his ability to combine with Star Saber. The Tide Is Turned! The Ultimate Weapon, the Victory Unification

After plots that involved Leozack disguising himself as Star Saber A Mystery?! The Deception of the Base Bombs and unleashing metal-eating insects on the Autobots, The Death-Bringing Space Insects!! the Breastforce accompanied Deathsaurus into space once he had obtained enough energy to reactivate his Planet-Destroying Fortress. The Wrath of the Resurrected Giant Fortress! The Autobots arrived to stop the villains while the fortress's main cannon was charging, and the Breastforce, combined as Liokaiser, engaged Victory Leo in battle. The feral Autobot was able to blast the combiner into the barrel of the cannon, which drained his energy dry. As his body blackened, Liokaiser could feel his consciousness begin to fade, and he could only manage a faint cry for help as his deactivated body drifted off into the depths of space. Showdown! The Fortress vs the Victory Unification

Zone catalog

Revived from death by some means and lead by the reborn Dark Emperor Deathsaurus, The Breastforce in the combined form of Liokaiser joined several other powerful Decepticons in an assault on planet Zone. Attempting to steal their Energon Z, the Decepticons proved no match for the Micromasters and were driven away. What became of Liokaiser after this is unknown. Zone Project Story

Victory manga

When the Breastforce arrived to join Deathsaurus in stealing energy from Earth, Leozack made his first strike alone, but botched it by forgetting to take his Breast Animal with him. Leozack Rumbles Violently! The rest of the team later battled Star Saber in their individual forms Warrior of Love, Star Saber! and still later combined with Leozack into Liokaiser to engage the Autobot leader on Energy Planet X. Liokaiser had the upper hand in this battle, but the tide turned when his individual components began arguing amongst themselves over who would get to deliver the killing blow, and Star Saber used the opening to defeat them. The Star of Friendship, Jan and Star Saber!

Subsequent fights did not go well for Liokaiser; first, he was thrashed by Star Saber when the Autobot leader combined with Victory Leo to become Victory Saber, The Strongest Partners, the Combination of Victory! and was then flattened by the united Autobots' "Five Stars of Victory" attack. Shine! The Five Stars of Victory Following this defeat, the Decepticons retreated into space and began attacking Earth using Deathsaurus's "Space Stronghold". Naturally, the Autobots pursued, and when Deathsaurus engaged Star Saber in a space battle, Leozack saw an opportunity to remove all his enemies at once. Even as his shocked teammates looked on, Leozack turned the fortress's main cannon on Deathsaurus! Deathsaurus survived the blast and fired upon the fortress with his own weapons, after which Star Saber came smashing through the fortress's control room window and slashed Leozack with his sword. Even as he collapsed in front of the Autobots, Leozack begged them not to destroy the fortress, and the true nature of the massive craft was revealed to the Autobots: It contained the Decepticons' families, whom they had been fighting to protect all along. Heroic! The Victory War

Toys

Victory

Leozack
Killbison
Breastforce
The Breastforce were sold boxed with their Breast Animal partners, and consisted of seven all-new molds. The six smaller members could combine into Liokaiser (notable for his atypical almost-total lack of combiner kibble), and were also sold together in a giftset.
Leozack, Killbison, Jallguar, and Drillhorn were later remolded to create the Rescue Force members Rescue Force, Rescue Force 1, Rescue Force 2, and Rescue Force 3, respectively.


Generations

Liokaiser
  • Liokaiser (Platinum Edition giftset, 2016)
Released only as a Platinum Edition gift set of 5 Breastforce Destrons: Deszarus, Drillhorn, Ironbison, Guyhawk, and Fellbat. The combiner also comes with Ion Scythe, redecoed from Arms Micron Gul.
Deszarus's, Ironbison's, and Fellbat's original names were changed for obvious reasons.
This set was an exclusive to Entertainment Earth.


Notes

  • The term "Breastforce" is consistently romanized as "Brestforce" in every English instance of the name on the toy's packaging and tech spec materials. It may be a misspelling, or a usage of the obsolete alternate spelling "brest"; belief that it was the latter led to the "Brestforce" spelling being used in the subtitles produced for Metrodome and Madman Entertainment's releases of Victory.
  • Following the trend in later Japanese Generation 1 series, the six combining members of Breastforce have fairly uniform tech spec numbers. Like their opposites in Victory, the Brainmasters, four of them essentially have straight 8s, with a couple numbers slightly higher or lower to indicate their specialties, and all have totals in the neighborhood of 64.

Foreign names

  • Mandarin: Hsiōng-Chǐa Bù-tuèi (Taiwan, 胸甲部隊, "Breastplate Force"), Xiōngjiǎ Zhànshì (China, 胸甲战士, "Breastplate Warrior")
