Jallguar

Jarugar is a Decepticon from the Victory portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

[[Image:Jargua.jpg|right|300px|thumb|No im not That Guy. Jarugar (ジャルガー Jarugā) is a member of the Breastforce team, the elite Decepticon troopers. The team's "Cyberneticist" (whatever that means), he's the most serious of the group, a model soldier who follow orders diligently, picking off those who escape his aerial comrades' attacks with his own "Spiral Attack" missile-volley. However, he is not without his flaws: he's not very imaginative, and more importantly, he really lacks initiative. If Jarugar is not given orders, he tends to stand around confused if he runs across something unexpected.

Jarugar's chestplate, Jaguarbreast, can disconnect from his body and transform into a robotic jaguar or the hand-held "Jaguar Cannon". Like his fellow Breastforce warriors, Jarugar is also armed with an electromagnetic nunchaku.

Jarugar can combine with his Breastforce teammates to form Liokaiser, becoming the lower torso of the super robot.

The Uranium Mine Later still, when the Breastforce embarked on a scheme to drain electrical energy from American subway tunnels, Jarugar was the one to speak up when Leozack began ranting about Deathsaurus's methods, pointing out that it wouldn't be a good thing for their emperor to hear him. Leozack didn't react well. Once they were actually in the field, Jarugar narrowly avoided being run over by an oncoming train, and when Deathsaurus retreated, he brought the message to the other Breastforcers.

Antarctic Battle and ambushing the Brainmasters and Greatshot in the desert. Crisis! Ambush in the Desert The Decepticons were forced to retreat at the end of the latter fight, but Gaihawk was still spoiling to settle things with Greatshot, and would have got in an argument with Leozack about pursuing him if Jarugar had not conveniently arrived to inform Leozack that Deathsaurus wanted to speak to him. A Deadly Battle Soon after, Jarugar and the Breastforce aided Deathsaurus in stealing energy from a solar energy power plant, Ginrai Dies!! and later embarked on a mission to pillage the Mount Asama geothermal power plant, only to wind up being defeated by Victory Leo. Awaken! Victory Leo

When Deathsaurus used the threat of orbital missile bombardment to keep the Autobots from interfering with the Decepticons' energy thefts, Jarugar, Gaihawk and Killbison delightedly went about their work, pausing only to taunt the Autobots that could do nothing but watch. The Tide is Turned! The Ultimate Weapon, the Victory Unification Jarugar proceeded to join in the Breastforce's plot to steal information on Star Saber and Victory Leo's combination process A Mystery?!

The Wrath of the Resurrected Giant Fortress! To keep the Autobots busy while the fortress's main cannon charged, Deathsaurus dispatched the Breastforce - combined as Liokaiser - to battle them. In the course of the clash, Victory Leo was able to blast Liokaiser into the fortress's cannon barrel, which drained his energy dry. With his consciousness fading and his body unable to move, Liokaiser could only utter a fading scream for help as he drifted off into the depths of space. Showdown! The Fortress vs the Victory Unification

Victory comic

Jarugar debuted silently, standing behind Gaihawk as he informed Deathsaurus that Leozack had gone off on a solo mission, foolishly believing that he could conquer Earth on his own. Leozack Rumbles Violently! After Leozack was defeated by Star Saber, Jarugar and the rest of the Breastforce took the Autobot leader on, only to be taken out by a single slash of his Saber Blade. Warrior of Love, Star Saber!

Later, Jarugar and the other Breastforcers combined into Liokaiser to battle Star Saber on Energy Planet X. When the combiner warrior managed to seize Star Saber, his individual components began arguing over who would get right to destroy the Autobot leader; Jarugar petitioned his teammates to entrut the deed to him. Star Saber exploited the opening to turn the battle around, and Liokaiser was defeated and escaped. The Star of Friendship, Jean and Star Saber! In their next battle with Star Saber, the Breastforce almost had him defeated thanks to the aid of Deathsaurus and Dinoking, but the tables were turned when Star Saber merged with new arrival Victory Leo, to form Victory Saber. The Strongest Partners, the Combination of Victory!

In their next battle, Liokaiser and Deathsaurus were defeated by the Autobots' "Five Stars of Victory" attack technique, and Liokaiser split back into Jarugar and the rest of the Breastforce to flee back to Deathsaurus's "Space Stronghold". Shine! The Five Stars of Victory From the stronghold, the Decepticons began a final attack on Earth, bombarding the planet with meteors, but the Autobots succeeded in thwarting their scheme, despite a bit of attempted treachery courtesy of Leozack. At the battle's end, Deathsaurus revealed that the fortress was home to the Decepticon civilians, and that they had been fighting to keep them safe. Struck by this revelation, Star Saber decided that it was time for the Autobots and Decepticons to lay down their arms, and live in peace - the truest victory of all! Heroic! The Victory War
