- Gairyu is a Decepticon from the Victory portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Gairyu (ガイリュウ Gairyū) is a member of the Decepticon Dinoforce who becomes a stampeding Ankylosaurus when bonded with his dinosaur Pretender shell. Like most of the Dinoforce, Gairyu is both innocent and stupid.
He can combine with his fellow teammates to form Dinoking.
Fiction
Victory cartoon
- Voice actor: Yūki Satō (Japanese)
Victory comic
Gairyu and the Dinoforce rode their Pretender shells into battle, ransacking the planet Earth. They attempted to escalate the devastation by forming Dinoking, but were stopped cold by the power of Landcross. Magnificent! Our Friend, Star Saber!
Gairyu stood watch as Kakuryu went through his daily fitness routine. Warrior of Love, Star Saber!
As the Autobots infiltrated the Decepticon Space Stronghold, their sudden appearance scattered Gairyu and the Dinoforce. The fighting soon ceased as the Decepticons revealed they only sought energy for their families, including the adorable Dinobabies. Heroic! The Victory War
Toys
Victory
- Gairyu (Dinoforce, 1989)
- Japanese ID number: D-323
- Accessories: Ankylosaurus shell, shell back, "Ankylo Gun", left Monstructor fist
- A redeco of the Pretender Monster Bristleback, Gairyu transforms into a spiked quadrupedal monster. He can also form either arm to the team's combined mode Dinoking. He comes with an armored Ankylosaurus shell that he can fit into.
- Dinoking (Multi-pack, 1989)
- ID number: D-328
- Accessories: Ankylosaurus shell, shell back, "Ankylo Gun", left Monstructor fist
- All six members of Dinoforce were available both in individual boxes, and in a complete six-piece gift set. While there are no differences in the toys themselves, the gift set lacks any bio or Tech Spec cards for the individual components, only having cards for the combined mode.
Notes
- Gairyū corresponds with 鎧竜, meaning "Armored Dinosaur". It is used to refer to the ankylosauria suborder of dinosaurs in Japanese.
- The Dinoforce shells are notable for developing a green patina on the painted-gold portions, as well as a slimy texture over their whole surface over time. What causes this is unknown, but ick. Even previously-unopened samples will develop this nastiness. While some water and a little bit of hand-soap should take care of the slime, there's not much to be done about the green discoloration.
- The Victory anime depicted the Dinoforce members as carrying melee weapons, rather than the blasters the toys actually came with.
Foreign names
- English: Bristleback (Omni Productions dub)
