Victories
| The name or term "Victory" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Victory (disambiguation). |
- The Victories are an Autobot human subgroup from the Victory portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
The Victories are a quintet of brave young humans who have allied with the Autobots in order to protect the planet Earth from Decepticon tyranny. They all wear self-defeating armor styled after individual Autobots that covers only their torsos. They also carry swords...which they never use. The Victories are capable of transferring their strongest individual traits into their corresponding Autobots in order to boost their power in battle. This attack is called "The Five Stars of Victory" and can only be performed when all five members are present.
The Victories consist of:
- Jean Minakaze (Star Saber armor; transfers his courage)
- Patty Minakaze (Victory Leo armor; transfers her love)
- Shūta Gō (Braver armor; transfers his cunning)
- Cab (Laster armor; transfers his skill)
- Solon Kitakaze (Blacker armor; transfers his power)
Fiction
Victory comic
After Shūta and Cab befriended Jean, Warrior of Love, Star Saber! they settled in a treehouse and formed a group called the "Autobot Boy Team". While Deathsaurus briefly had machinations to form his own "Decepticon Boy Team" to counter their threat (?), he decided after a beating from Star Saber that Solon was the only boy the Decepticons needed. Watch Out, Jean! Hurry, Star Saber!
The Autobot Boy Team eventually settled on a better name, the Victories, and each member donned an outfit designed after a specific Autobot (leaving Blacker quite heartbroken that no one was wearing armor based on him). Beginning a trend, Cab and Shūta remained at base while Jean hurried off on an adventure, this time to Energy Planet X to battle Liokaiser alongside Star Saber. The Star of Friendship, Jean and Star Saber!
The Victories' tenure as a "boy team" would not last long, however. With the arrival of Patty Minakaze and Victory Leo, some femininity was injected into their ranks. Cab, Shūta and even Jean quickly developed crushes on their new female cohort, though Jean's interests changed as soon as he found out she was his sister (awkward). With the Decepticons defeated by the newly formed Victory Saber, the fleeing Solon expressed an interest in Patty. The Strongest Partners, the Combination of Victory!
Patty was quickly appointed as the new leader of the Victories (sorry Jean) and set them to the most useful duty a quartet of human children could perform for the Autobots: janitorial services. Their deck swabbing was interrupted by a crisis on planet Guard, however. Cab and Shūta once again stayed behind on the base while Jean and Patty left to investigate. Upon arrival, Victory Saber was immediately threatened by King Zaras, the combined form of Deathsaurus and King Solon (Solon's newly built mech unit). The pair proved to be evenly matched, until the sound of Patty saying the word "mother" broke Solon's concentration. Victory Saber destroyed the King Solon mech and sent a flaming Solon hurtling toward the ground. Patty and Jean attmpted to help him and even offered him a membership in the Victories, but the Decepticon cyborg refused, declaring he couldn't stand Patty's cheerful attitude. As he escaped, Solon remarked to himself that Patty was like his deceased mother. Mighty! Victory Saber
The Victories were later helpless during a battle between Victory Saber, the Brainmasters and the Decepticons. The Autobots were losing, until Solon arrived in some Blacker armor (having been urged to switch sides by the words of that very same Autobot). Under Patty's instruction, the Victories performed the "Five Stars of Victory" attack, channeling their individual abilities into their corresponding Transformer. The attack drove the Decepticons back to their Space Stronghold. Shortly after, Solon agreed to officially join the Victories on only one condition: if Patty would be his big sister. Jean did not like this one bit, though Patty blushed at the thought of it. Shine! The Five Stars of Victory
With the final battle underway, the Autobots stormed the Space Stronghold. The Victories, aboard Galaxy Shuttle, were taken out of the fight early by one of Leozack's traps. Victory Saber eventually won the day and Deathsaurus conceded defeat. The Decepticons then revealed their true purpose for fighting: their families who lived in the stronghold. Patty declared that the Decepticons could come live in peace with the Autobots on Planet V and, under the example set by Jean and Solon, Star Saber and Deathsaurus agreed to let bygones be bygones. Heroic! The Victory War
