The evil twin gets what he deserves.

Toraizer (トライザー, to-ra-i-zaa) is one of the Headmaster Warriors, the group of diminutive young robots training on the planet Master to become fully-fledged Headmaster.

(Note: "Tora" is the Japanese word for "tiger".)

Fiction

Headmasters animated series

Several robots using Toraizer’s body design appeared on planet Master during the efforts of the resistance force formed to combat the Decepticons. A yellow and red version was a member of the resistance force who appeared to thank the Autobot Headmasters for their aid in a battle, while a green and blue version was among the Master civilians shot by the Decepticon Targetmasters during their attack on a city.

(Note: Given the lack of resemblance between the Kirk toy and cartoon model, it is unclear if any of these Toraizer-based robots is intended to be Toraizer himself or not, afflicted with a similar case of color-blindness.)

TV Magazine Masterforce prologue

Some time later, after the Decepticons had been forced off of Earth and a larger war began based around use of advanced technology from Planet Master, Chromedome and the other Headmasters took it upon themselves to train Toraizer and the other Headmaster Warriors in the use of their powers.

Generation 1

• Toraizer (Headmaster Warrior, 1987)

Available exclusively in Japan, Toraizer transforms from a purple and blue tiger into a head, in which mode he can connect to any of the larger Headmaster toys. He goes for ludicrous sums of money on the secondary market, to say nothing of the super-rare, entirely white version of the figure which was only available in certain Japanese toy stores.
