Victory (G1)

This article is about the Decepticon starship built on Earth. For the Decepticon flagship that attacked the Ark, see Nemesis (G1).

The name or term "Victory" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Victory (disambiguation).

The Victory is a ship in the Generation 1 continuity family

The sky is the limit...more literally than Megatron had expected.

Originally intended to take the Decepticons back to Cybertron, the Victory served as their base of operations on Earth. The space cruiser carried many weapons, and its hull was able to withstand the crushing water pressure of an ocean...which is exactly where it ended up.

Fiction

Generation 1 cartoon

After coming back online and leaving the Autobot's vessel, the Decepticons quickly made efforts to plunder Earth's resources and return to Cybertron. After Soundwave came up with a new ship design, the Decepticons began acquiring materials to build a new ship and go home. More than Meets the Eye, Part 1

After several days (months?) of amassing Energon cubes, fighting the Autobots, and destroying a few buildings for raw materials (or sport, depending on who did the destruction), the Decepticons were ready to leave. The Autobots made one last desperate assault on the Decepticon camp, but only managed to stall their delay. Optimus Prime made the bold decision to chase after them using Sideswipe's jet pack, but the weapons on the Victory shot him down.

However, Mirage managed to sneak aboard, and took advantage of Starscream's latest coup attempt against Megatron to destroy several pieces of equipment. Mirage managed to escape, and the Victory crashed into the ocean. The Autobots believed the Decepticons were destroyed, but they managed to survive the crash. More than Meets the Eye, Part 3

After several months on the ocean floor, the Decepticons built several nearby buildings with a telescoping docking tower, a ship-to-surface "elevator" allowing them to enter and leave at will without getting wet, establishing it as their primary base on Earth. Transport to Oblivion

The Victory's fate after the Decepticons conquered Cybertron and abandoned Earth is unknown.
