With little to no effort, <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Star</b> <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(160, 255, 255);">Saber</b> defeats the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Decepticon" title="Decepticon">Decepticons</a> and drives them away.

Not far away, <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Jean_Minakaze" title="Jean Minakaze">Jean</a> teases his rival, <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Solon_Kitakaze" title="Solon Kitakaze">Solon</a> over the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Autobot" title="Autobot">Autobot</a> victory, claiming that his pop, <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Star</b> <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(160, 255, 255);">Saber</b>, is the strongest Transformer ever. Jean's statement is immediately shot down by two mysterious shadowy figures. These hauntingly familiar sillouettes turn out to be <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Cab" title="Cab">Cab</a> and <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Sh%C5%ABta_G%C5%8D" title="Shūta Gō">Shūta</a>.

Shūta and Cab register their utter disappointment in the new <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Supreme_Commander" title="Supreme Commander">Supreme Commander</a>, <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Star</b> <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(160, 255, 255);">Saber</b>, claiming that the previous one, <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Ginrai" title="Ginrai">God Ginrai</a>, was much stronger due to his <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Human" title="Human">human</a> heart. As Jean becomes enraged, Solon snickers and claims <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Deathsaurus" title="Deathsaurus">Deathsaurus</a> could rival them both.

As the children argue over which toy is cooler, <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Kakury%C5%AB" title="Kakuryū">Kakuryū</a> bursts out of the mountainside, taking <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Star</b> <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(160, 255, 255);">Saber</b> by surprise. As it turns out, Kakuryū has been hiding underground for three days, waiting for <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Star</b> <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(160, 255, 255);">Saber</b> to wander by. Kakuryū quickly grabs the Autobot from behind, leaving him open to attacks from his triceratops <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Pretender" title="Pretender">Pretender</a> shell. Kakuryū's triceratops quickly initiates "Lord Kakuryū's Second Level Attack" which consists of ramming its horns into the helpless <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Star</b> <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(160, 255, 255);">Saber</b> over and over again.

As <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Star</b> <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(160, 255, 255);">Saber</b> gets trounced, Solon explains that Kakuryū isn't one of the strongest Decepticons, but trains himself into the ground in an attempt to earn Deathsaurus's approval.

Unfortunately for Kakuryū, today just isn't his day. <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Star</b> <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(160, 255, 255);">Saber</b> decides he's had enough and hoists Kakuryū up over his head (causing his triceratops Pretender shell to cry and scratch at <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Star</b> <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(160, 255, 255);">Saber</b> on its hindlegs like a whimpering puppy). <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Star</b> <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(160, 255, 255);">Saber</b> tells Kakuryū to "Go to Hell" and then flings him over a cliff with his "<b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(160, 255, 255);">Saber</b> Vacuum Tornado Pacifier" (damn, dude).

Kakuryū manages to just barely cling to the ledge, only to find <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Star</b> <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(160, 255, 255);">Saber</b> looming menacingly over him. Kakuryū asks <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Star</b> <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(160, 255, 255);">Saber</b> to kill him quickly. Jean begs <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Star</b> <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(160, 255, 255);">Saber</b> not to do it while Solon cries silently to himself over Kakuryū's imminent demise. <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Star</b> <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(160, 255, 255);">Saber</b> sends his fist hurtling toward the helpless Kakuryū, only to grab his hand and lift him from certain doom instead of, well, punching him to death.

<b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Star</b> <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(160, 255, 255);">Saber</b> tells Kakuryū to give his injuries time to heal and sends him on his way, while the sniffling Decepticon can't believe he's being shown such compassion. Cab and Shūta are overjoyed at the sight of <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Star</b> Saber's humanity and are instantly swayed into being his loyal fanboys.

Kakuryū rides off into the sunset, thanking everyone, as Solon wipes his nose, wondering what the big deal about <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Star</b> <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(160, 255, 255);">Saber</b> is. The audience is informed that true strength comes not only from the body, but from respecting life, too. Jean, Cab and Shūta pile their hands together and decide to become Best Friends Forever.

  • The opening image of a nearly naked <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Jean_Minakaze" title="Jean Minakaze">Jean</a> taking a bath with his surrogate father, <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Star_Saber_%28G1%29" title="Star Saber (G1)"><b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Star</b> <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(160, 255, 255);">Saber</b></a>, accompanied by the eyebrow-raising title...well, it conjures up all the wrong feelings.

to put it mildly. While he's still no intellectual giant (his cunning plan consisted of hiding underground for days and days on the off-chance <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Star</b> <b style="color: black; background-color: rgb(160, 255, 255);">Saber</b> might stumble by), he's certainly shown to be more intelligent and hard-working here than in the cartoon.

explained that he omitted Minerva because he felt the series would have had too many female characters if she was included. A blonde female character almost identical in personality to Minerva, <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Patty_Minakaze" title="Patty Minakaze">Patty</a>, will show up in "<a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/The_Strongest_Partners%2C_the_Combination_of_Victory%21" title="The Strongest Partners, the Combination of Victory!">The Strongest Partners, the Combination of Victory!</a>".

  • The "Second Level" part of "Lord Kakuryū's Second Level Attack"

is written as "Ni-Dan". "-Dan" is the counter for belt levels in martial arts. Exactly how that should or could be coherently transalted into English is uncertain.

  • Kakuryū is shown building strength via push-ups. He's a robot. He has no muscles.
