- Rairyu is a Decepticon from the Victory portion of Generation 1 continuity family.
Rairyu is the idiot amongst a team of idiots. When he manages to form a coherent word it is cause for celebration. Oddly, he still doesn’t attract the criticism or ridicule of his teammate Kakuryu. Still he is a vital member of the Dinoforce if only because his absence would leave Dinoking with an even weaker stomach then normal.
