Drillhorn (G1)
- Drillhorn is a Decepticon Breastforce Warrior from the Victory portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Drillhorn (ドリルホーン Doriruhōn) is the veteran strategist amongst the Breastforce group. He is very knowledgeable and very tough... and can be quite opinionated, to the point of being stupidly bull-headed. His adherence to past battle experiences can often leave him unprepared for unexpected changes in the battlefield.
Drillhorn is accompanied by his Breast Animal partner, Hornbreast, a robotic rhino that can transform into either his chestplate or a hand-held blaster. Like his fellow Breastforce warriors, he is also armed with an Electromagnetic Nunchaku.
Drillhorn can also combine with his Breastforce teammates to form Liokaiser, becoming the left leg of the super robot.

Drillhorn was seen wisely hovering in the background when Deathsaurus learned Leozack had disobeyed his orders and gone to Earth alone. Leozack Rumbles Violently!
Drillhorn and the rest of Breastforce dramatically charged into battle against Star Saber, outnumbering him 4-to-1. He then mowed them all down with a single strike from his sword. Oops. Warrior of Love, Star Saber!
Liokaiser once tried to destroy Star Saber and Jean, but failed because the Breastforce lacked the proper spirit of cooperation. Drillhorn and the others argued internally over which of them would deliver the final blow, giving the Autobot Supreme Commander time to rally against them. The Star of Friendship, Jean and Star Saber! On another occasion, the Breastforce fled the scene of a battle after Star Saber and Road Caesar forced Liokaiser to disengage. Shine! The Five Stars of Victory
In the finale battle, the war came to an end after the Autobots discovered Drillhorn and the other Decepticons were only trying to defend and energize their civilian families and loved ones aboard the Stronghold. Heroic! The Victory War

As part of Liokaiser, Drillhorn was revived from death by some means. Lead by the reborn Dark Emperor Deathsaurus, Liokaiser joined several other powerful Decepticons in an assault on planet Zone. Attempting to steal their Energon Z, the Decepticons proved no match for the Micromasters and were driven away. Zone Project Story
