| | |
| '''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 ''T. rex'' Pretender 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, Goryu demands obedience from his dim-witted troops (especially [[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 research ship that saw [[Jean]]'s parents die. Later he led an attack on Earth's moonbase, forcing Star Saber and [[Star Saber (G1)|Star Saber]] and his forces to come to Earth's defense and make their base there. Throughout [[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' space fortress.
| |
| | |
| After the destruction of the space fortress, Goryu and his Dinoforce lived peacefully on Earth alongside the humans.

| |
| | |
| : Goryu's inner robot shares the same mold as the [[Pretender Monster]] [[Icepick]], transforming into a bipedal, clawed monster. He comes with a rubbery, cyborg ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' Pretender-type shell in which he can be stored.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| * Goryu's name translates roughly as "Mighty Dragon".
| |
| * 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.
| |
| | |
| * The ''Victory'' anime depicted the Dinoforce members as carrying melee weapons, rather than the blasters the toys actually came with.
