description: television series
shortsummary: Leozack arrives on Earth and enters the Thunder Arrow, which Deszaras has hidden underwater to avoid Autobot detection, and announces his intention to destroy Star Saber on his leader's behalf. Meanwhile, Star Saber and Stakeout take Jan to his first day of school, where Star Saber explains that he is Jan's foster father, having taken him in after rescuing him from the wreckage of a science vessel that carried his late parents and was attacked by the Dinoforce. Jan is soon the center of attention among his new classmates, including a friendly girl named Illumina, but the school is then attacked by Leozack and the Dinoforce. Despite his skill and overconfidence, Leozack proves to be no match for Star Saber, but he and the Dinoforce manage to gang up on the Autobot leader. The other Brainmasters arrive to turn the tide, forming Road Caesar to counter the threat of Dinoking and enabling Jan to pilot Star Saber's V-Star, a combination aircraft/transforming set of armor, to aid his foster father in driving off Leozack. The students, some of whom previously blamed Jan for the Decepticon attack, welcome him as a new friend and soon enjoy a ride on a stakeout.

shortsummary: As the Autobots depart Micro, Deszaras and the Dinoforce take Thunder Arrow into the Dark Nebula, where they use the Energon they've collected thus far to power up the fortress. Though they've failed to collect enough to free it from the nebula, Desaras is pleased that it is still functional and looks forward to freeing it. He then recalls the battle in which his fortress was attacked by the younger Star Saber and a massive Autobot attack force, who used powerful engines to siphon the fortress' power and move it into the nebula, trapping it in a gravity pocket. Detecting Star Saber and Galaxy Shuttle passing, Desaras leads an immediate attack on the Autobots, dueling Star Saber while the Dinoforce attempt to board Galaxy Shuttle. Despite his skill, Star Saber is caught off guard by Deszaras' sheer ferocity and his new weapon, the Living Metal Destroyer Cannon. The Rescue Team and Jean manage to repel Dinoforce and turn their effort to destroy or damage Galaxy Shuttle into an attack that damages Thunder Arrow. Desaras then runs low on energy, having expended so much to reactivate the fortress, and is unable to finish off the badly damaged Star Saber, whom he leaves with the warning that he shall perish on their next meeting. He then leaves to attend to Thunder Arrow while the battered Autobots make their way home, wary of Desaras' growing ambition.

shortsummary: Leozack welcomes Gaihawk back into the ranks of Breast Force, and expresses his eagerness to have a group of six, though he intends to replace Hellbat with an incoming veteran named Deathcobra. Unbeknownst to him, Hellbat is eavesdropping, and is so upset by the idea of being expelled that he leaves to intercept Deathcobra, unknowingly attracting the attention of a patrolling Stakeout, Jan, and Clipper. He soon meets with Deathcobra and begs him not to replace him, but the other Decepticon is uninterested in his dilemma; in desperation Hellbat draws his weapon and inadvertently gets into a firefight with Deathcobra that results in the other Decepticon being shot twice, the second blast proving fatal. Stunned at his actions, Hellbat realizes that he has to do something, and is inspired by the arriving Autobots. Returning to the Breast Force, he informs them of Deathcobra's demise and blames it on the Autobots, prompting the entire group to investigate. They find the pair of Micromasters and Jan and quickly attack, and become further enraged when Star Saber arrives; Gaihawk in particular wishes to avenge his imprisonment, which he blames on the Autobot commander. The reason for Leozack's efforts to assemble a team of six is then revealed: six members of the Breast Force have the ability to combine into Liokaiser. The new Combiner proves more than a match even for Star Saber, who is only saved from destruction by the unexpected return of Ginrai. Though no more a match for Liokaiser than Star Saber, Ginrai is able to give Star Saber a chance to recover, and between the two Autobot warriors Liokaiser is separated, prompting the Breast Force to withdraw. The Autobots are then left to return to Earth and face the problem of the Decepticons' latest weapon.

shortsummary: Victory Leo continues to fight with only the destruction of the Decepticons in mind, showing little to no regard for his comrades. With this in mind, Star Saber-who is undergoing final repairs and the modifications that will allow him to unite with Victory Leo in battle-dispatches the mighty Autobot on a mission with Stakeout and Jan going along for the ride. Victory Leo soon encounters Gaihawk, who in his overconfidence faces him only to be easily taken down. Meanwhile, the rest of the Breast Force move in to attack a geothermal energy plant in Japan, but are soon surprised by the Autobots' arrival. Victory Leo engages Leozack and Jaruga, paying little mind to the other Decepticons or his two comrades, who are soon trapped within the base while the members of the Breast Force steal energy. Back at Galaxy Shuttle Base, Star Saber is worried when he is unable to contact the field team, but denies Wingwaver's request to go to their aid, citing his assurance that Ginrai's spirit will soon awaken inside of his new form of Victory Leo. His hopes ring true as Jan's desperate cries for help awaken the heroic Ginrai within Victory Leo, who soon goes to Jan and Stakeout's aid after defeating the Breast Force duo he had been fighting. With his repairs complete, Star Saber looks forward to fighting alongside Victory Leo in the battle against the Decepticons.

shortsummary: Frustrated with his failure thus far to obtain the energy needed to recover his fortress from the Dark Nebula, Deszaras becomes angered with his troops until Drillhorn suggests seizing an oil tanker. An entire major city is then left without gasoline, prompting Star Saber to dispatch the Brainmasters to investigate and determine if the Decepticons are involved. The culprit proves to be Drillhorn, using his digging abilities to drain underground gas tanks, with Jaruga serving as his backup; Blacker's discovery of this leads to a brief confrontation that ends in the Decepticons escaping. The mayor of the city then requests an emergency gas shipment, unaware that he is playing into the Decepticons' hands; the Decepticons then contact him warning him not to allow anyone near the tanker unless he wants the city to be destroyed. The Dinoforce then appear in the city, and Blacker soon learns that they have planted a neutron bomb in the city; the mayor is soon advised by Star Saber to evacuate the city. The Autobots' search for the bomb proves futile, and the tanker carrying the gasoline soon arrives in port and is boarded by the Breast Force shortly before Thunder Arrow emerges from the sea and begins drawing the tanker inside. Leozack threatens the crew of the ship in hopes of luring the Autobots into the open, unaware that Blacker is eavesdropping and learns from his gloating where the bomb is hidden. He soon alerts the other Autobots only for them to be intercepted by the Dinoforce, whom Star Saber and Laster engage while Braver goes after the bomb. Blacker arrives to back them up, and the three Autobots soon find themselves locked in battle with Dinoking only for Star Saber to be forced to depart to save the tanker. Star Saber single-handedly defeats the Breast Force and forces the Thunder Arrow to withdraw, while Dinoking is beaten by Blacker and Laster as Braver disassembles the bomb.

shortsummary: The Decepticons' efforts to harvest energy from the Antarctic result in South American sea levels rising, flooding seaside villages that the Autobots work to evacuate. Star Saber dispatches the Multiforce to evacuate, while the Autobots learn that the father of one of Jan's classmates is at a United Nations base in the Antarctic, and he and Jan accompany the Rescue Team aboard Galaxy Shuttle to see if they can rescue him. The Multiforce find the stranded scientists only to be attacked by the Breast Force, and the two teams soon engage in battle as Landcross and Liokaiser. Liokaiser soon unveils the new ability to become invisible, which proves devastatingly effective against Landcross. Star Saber and Galaxy Shuttle soon arrive to provide help, while the Rescue Team goes after the scientists stranded on an iceberg. Liokaiser's invisibility continues to be a problem, allowing him to wound Galaxy Shuttle and fight Star Saber to a standstill, at which point Desaras intervenes to face off with his nemesis. The two are soon locked in an epic clash, during which Galaxy Shuttle manages to strike at the Decepticons' drill. With their energy-gathering machine destroyed, the Decepticons depart, leaving the Autobots to contemplate their future war effort.

shortsummary: Deszaras sets his sights on a uranium mine in Africa in order to produce more energy for the Decepticons, and dispatches his minions under the leadership of Leozack. The mine's workers, including a man whose young son is celebrating a birthday that day, are soon being terrorized by the Decepticons, who trap roughly a hundred of them in the mine as hostages. The Autobots are soon alerted, and the team of Braver, Wingwaver, and Laster are assigned to infiltrate the mines through abandoned works using a drill created by Laster. The Multiforce are left dissatisfied with Blacker's treatment of them as children, while the mine workers are in increasing danger of suffocating below ground. Laster's team soon runs into a seemingly impenetrable barrier of bedrock, and use their own power to increase the drill's energy while the head of the mining operation prepares to aid them by setting explosives. Outside the mine, the other Autobots are awaiting their opportunity to join the battle, while the mine chief evades Leozack and communicates his plan to Laster's team, who agree to proceed despite Wingwaver's objections. The combined Autobot-human effort shatters the bedrock, allowing the Autobots to reach the hostages and face Drillhorn and the other Breast Force members, who are guarding them. Galaxy Shuttle is then dispatched to carry the miners to safety, and Wingwaver is unexpectedly congratulated for his efforts by Blacker, who then departs with Star Saber to stop the Decepticons from making off with the uranium. The pair engage Leozack and the Dinoforce, with Star Saber using his V-Star to drive off the former before armoring up to take on Dinoking. The defeated Decepticons soon return to their furious leader, while the Autobots celebrate with the miners-without whom they would not have won the day-and their families.
shortsummary: The Decepticons land the Thunder Arrow at a secluded energy station in the middle of a jungle, where they begin producing Energon for the facility. Leozack, quite pleased with his accomplishment, is reminded by Desaras that they require a huge amount of Energon for their goal: to free Deszaras' fortress from the Dark Nebula where Star Saber sealed it away. Learning of the Decepticons' activities, Star Saber dispatches the Multiforce under the command of Blacker, who earns Wingwaver's ire by insisting on referring to him as "kid." Wingwaver's frustrated outburst leads to the Autobots being discovered by members of the Dinforoce, and efforts to contact Star Saber are thwarted by Decepticon jamming. Blacker quickly orders the members of Multiforce to flee the area and contact the other Autobots while he draws the Decepticons away, having pinpointed the location of the base. Worried about his overdue unit, Star Saber flies out to investigate, while Wingwaver sends his teammates on ahead to Galaxy Shuttle while he returns to help Blacker. He manages to save Blacker from the Dinoforce members but is then surprised when his superior leads him away from the energy base, drawing the Decepticons after them. Star Saber arrives and realizes that Blacker is acting as a diversion, and moves into the base to confront Leozack and the remaining members of the Dinoforce. The Autobots succeed in defeating the Decepticons, who are forced to retreat with what energy they have already managed to seize, while Blacker takes responsibility for Wingwaver's carelessness-something that doesn't fool Star Saber.
