G1 Victory Saber
What? You don’t know who Victory Saber is? Let me tell you.
Victory Saber is the combined form of Star Saber and Victory Leo, and quite possibly the most powerful Autobot in all of Generation 1. But who are Star Saber and Victory Leo?
Star Saber is the fifth Supreme Commander of the Cybertrons (the Japanese name for Autobots). He first appears in Transformers: Victory, the third Japanese-only Transformers series which first aired in 1989.
Victory Leo is the rebuilt version of God Ginrai, who was the third Supreme Commander of the Autobots.
So effectively, Victory Saber is made up of two Autobot leaders! As we all know, Autobot leaders are generally the most powerful Transformers of their generation.
Victory Saber is also equipped with melee weapons (the Saber Blade) and ranged weapons (the V-Lock Cannon and the V-Lock Rifles), one of the first few Autobots to have been so well equipped.
Of course, I commissioned a custom toy of him.
And Victory Saber will be going to Botcon with me this June!
That custom Victory Saber is AWESOME! Is it easy to get custom models made? Expensive?
I need to learn more about the Japanese continuity so thanks for a little education lesson. 🙂
He’s the fifth Supreme Commander, not fourth.
1. Convoy
2. Rodimus Convoy
3. Fortress Maximus
4. Ginrai -> God Ginrai
5. Star Saber -> Victory Saber
Absolutely right! My bad.
