After the events of the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Super-God_Masterforce_%28franchise%29" title="Super-God Masterforce (franchise)">Masterforce war</a> on Earth, the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Transtector" title="Transtector">Transtector</a> formerly bonded to the human <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Ginrai" title="Ginrai">Ginrai</a>—now having taken its human partner's name as its own, becoming known as Ginrai itself—joined with the Autobot forces in space, where he became good friends with <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Star_Saber_%28G1%29" title="Star Saber (G1)"><b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Star</b> <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(160, 255, 255);">Saber</b></a> and his adopted human son, <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Jean_Minakaze" title="Jean Minakaze">Jean Minakaze</a>. Before long, <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Star</b> <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(160, 255, 255);">Saber</b> was appointed Supreme Commander of the Autobots, while Ginrai became commander of the Defense Force for Space Sector Two. Operating out of a base in the G Nebula, Ginrai's time was occupied battling the Decepticon forces under Overlord's control, so much so that <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Star</b> <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(160, 255, 255);">Saber</b> occasionally had to respond to emergencies in Sector Two, such as a <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Breastforce" title="Breastforce">Breastforce</a> attack on planet <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Micro" title="Micro">Micro</a>.

Feeling guilty over taking up <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Star</b> Saber's time in such a manner, Ginrai was quick to come to his aid when he was lured into a trap on Earth by Decepticon <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Emperor_of_Destruction" title="Emperor of Destruction">Emperor of Destruction</a> <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Deathsaurus" title="Deathsaurus">Deathsaurus</a>. Confronting Deathsaurus in battle, Ginrai was struck by a blast from the villain's Living-Metal-Destroying Cannon and badly damaged. Despite the best medical efforts of <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Perceptor_%28G1%29" title="Perceptor (G1)">Perceptor</a>, <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Wheeljack_%28G1%29" title="Wheeljack (G1)">Wheeljack</a>, and <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Minerva" title="Minerva">Minerva</a>, Ginrai's body was left useless and immobile. Due to a slip by Perceptor, however, he learned of the existence of a reconstruction process conceived by <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Star</b> <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(160, 255, 255);">Saber</b> that would allow him to become a power-up for the Autobot leader. <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Star</b> <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(160, 255, 255);">Saber</b> refused to allow him to submit to the process, revolted at the notion of using his close friend's body in such a way, but Ginrai insisted. Perceptor and Wheeljack brought his life functions to an end, and then restored him to <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Star</b> Saber's specifications as Victory Leo.

An unfortunate side-effect of the process left Victory Leo's mind and body unbalanced; immediately after his transformation, he began to run wild in his lion mode, displaying a more wild, feral nature than God Ginrai ever had, leaving Jean dismayed at the apparent loss of the being he had considered his friend. When Jean was trapped in a collapsed building as Victory Leo battled the Breastforce, however, his pleas for help reached Victory Leo, and some measure of balance returned to his mind, leading him to rescue Jean.

When Deathsaurus threatened the Earth with orbital missile strikes if the Autobots interfered in the Decepticons' energy-gathering raids, Victory Leo had to be forcibly held back by the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Brainmaster" title="Brainmaster">Brainmasters</a> to prevent him from attacking their enemies and dooming the planet. <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Star</b> <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(160, 255, 255);">Saber</b> came to the rescue with a new unification circuit implanted within his body. With this new component, he and Victory Leo could combine their bodies into Victory <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(160, 255, 255);">Saber</b>. In the form of a combined jet, Victory <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(160, 255, 255);">Saber</b> soared into space at a faster rate than Deathsaurus had predicted, and then in their combined robot form, destroyed the satellite controlling the missiles.

Despite his proven battle prowess, Victory Leo was still not entirely the being Ginrai had been, retaining a more violent, short-tempered personality which sometimes brought him into conflict with the other Autobots, who, in turn, did not trust him as much as they had Ginrai. When Breastforce member <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Leozack" title="Leozack">Leozack</a> impersonated <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Star</b> <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(160, 255, 255);">Saber</b>, Victory Leo realized that something was wrong, but none of his teammates believed him. Even when Victory Leo tried to stop Leozack from taking Victory Saber's combination information, the Autobots thought he was a traitor, until the real <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Star</b> <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(160, 255, 255);">Saber</b> showed up and Leozack was exposed, gaining Victory Leo his comrades' trust.

When Deathsaurus finally succeeded in reactivating his colossal, planet-destroying battle fortress, Victory Leo and <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Star</b> <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(160, 255, 255);">Saber</b> combined into Victory <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(160, 255, 255);">Saber</b> and took to space to try and stop the deadly craft, only to be knocked out by its weapons and crash, unconscious, on its surface. Recovering as it transformed into its "Destroyer Mode," Victory <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(160, 255, 255);">Saber</b> attacked again but was confronted by Breastforce combiner Liokaiser. At the same time, Jean arrived in his mobile mech with information that could destroy the fortress, and Victory <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(160, 255, 255);">Saber</b> separated so that <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Star</b> <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(160, 255, 255);">Saber</b> could follow him into the fortress. Victory Leo took on Liokaiser and defeated him by hurling him into the fortress's cannon barrel. Jean then succeeded in beginning the fortress's destruction, and Deszaras, defeated by <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Star</b> <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(160, 255, 255);">Saber</b>, set the craft on a collision course with Earth. Forming Victory <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(160, 255, 255);">Saber</b> once again, the two heroes successfully destroyed the fortress and saved the planet.
