| '''Goryu''' is the leader of the [[Dinoforce]] Decepticons. He typically wields a large spiked club, and unlike the rest of his team, is most often seen riding on the back of his ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' shell, rather than controlling it from the inside or fighting alongside it. He and his troops combine to form the goliath [[Dinoking]].
| |
|
| |
| Hot-headed, easily frustrated and generally not too bright (though he is probably the smartest of the entire team), Goryu demands obedience from his dim-witted troops (especially [[Kakuryu (Victory)|Kakuryu]], whom he often abuses) and respect from the [[Breastforce]]... respect which he will never get.

| The captain of the Dinoforce, Goryu is a major player in the Decepticon army. He's just not very good at the game.

| Goryu led the Dinoforce in the attack on a [[Mars (planet)|Mars]] research ship that saw [[Jan Minakaze|Jan]]'s parents die. {{storylink|Attack! Leozack}} Later he led an attack on [[Earth]]'s [[Moon (moon)|moonbase]], forcing [[Star Saber (Victory)|Star Saber]] and his forces to come to Earth's defense and make their base there. {{storylink|The Brave Hero of the Universe - Star Saber}} Throughout [[Deathsaurus (Victory)|Deathsaurus]]' campaign against Earth for energy, Goryu was a loyal grunt. Often he and his Dinoforce were the first in the fight and the last to retreat.

| |
| However, he was betrayed when Deathsaurus finally acquired enough energy to free his space fortress—the Decepticon commander abandoning Dinoforce, and leaving them to die. As retaliation, Goryu went to the Autobots, and told them the secret weakness in Deathsaurus's space fortress.
| |
|
| |
| After the destruction of the space fortress, Goryu and his Dinoforce lived peacefully on Earth alongside the humans. {{storylink|Showdown! The Fortress vs the Victory Unification}}

He comes with a rubbery, cyborg ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' shell in which he can be stored. The back of the shell can also store his rifle and the Dinoking footplate. Goryu can also transform into either leg to Dinoforce's combined Dinoking mode, but his nominal placement is as the giant's left leg.

| ==Notes==
| | |species=[[Transformer]] |
| *''Gōryū'' corresponds with 強竜, meaning "Strong Dinosaur".
| | |faction=[[Predacon (RID)|Predacon]] |
| * All of the Dinoforce's rubbery shells are susceptible to developing an oily film, and their gold paint may take on a green patina. Why exactly this happens is currently unknown, but as such, even mint-in-package toys may come out of the package kind of slimy and discolored. Eyuw.
| | |subgroup=Destronger<ref>Japanese version only</ref> |
| * 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. 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]].
| | |alternate mode= |
| * Goryu is the only combiner team leader other than [[Scrapper (G1)|Scrapper]] to form a leg.
