Victory Leo tries to save Star Saber from the clutches of Gigant Bomb and Smokesniper, but the other Decepticons won't have it.
Synopsis
[edit]Victory Leo rushes to save the beleaguered Star Saber and, in his haste, ignores the Decepticons in the sky. Air Hunter, Wingstun, and Starscream are initially unsure of what to make of the lion, but see that he is an Autobot from his insignia. As the jets attack the lion, Bound Rogue and Optimus Primal leap out of the sky to assist.
Leo's attackers are managed, but Star Saber is still under duress from Gigant Bomb and Smokesniper, who have combined into Gigant Sniper. Victory Leo arrives just in time, and Star Saber combines with him to form Victory Saber. The super robot sends the Decepticon duo fleeing.
Eventually, Star Saber and Victory Leo joined up with Optimus Prime's forces, with Victory Leo forming friendships with Optimus Primal and Bound Rogue.
