Breast Force

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Breast Force (or BrestForce as noted on the packaging of the associated toys) is the name given to an elite force of Destrons (Decepticons) from the Japanese exclusive Transformers series Transformers: Victory. Despite the amusing name, they were arguably the most ruthless group of Destrons ever to appear, casually killing and destroying anything that got in their way.

[edit] Transformers: Victory

The first member of the Breast Force to appear is Leozack, a teal and white Destron who transforms into a fighter jet. He functions as Destron Emperor Deszaras' right-hand man and is much more competent than the bumbling leader of the Dinoforce.

As the series progresses, the other members are introduced. Mentioned members are:

• Jaguar: A stealth warrior, he transforms into a missile buggy. His speciality is ambushing his victims. It should be noted that Jaguar's kana differs from the kana of the previous Cassettron known as Jaguar (the Decepticon Cassette known as Ravage in the english versions of Transformers), indicating that the Jaguar of Breastforce is to be pronounced as the common British pronunciation of Jaguar, while the Cassette is pronounced as the American pronunciation.
• Killbison: The most bloodthirsty and least intelligent of the group. Transforms into a double-barrelled tank.
• Drillhorn: The Breast Force strategist. Like other Destron strategists before him, he occasionally loses sight of the little things in favour of the big picture. Transforms into a drill tank.
• Hellbat: A schemer and easily the most cowardly of the group. He transforms into a jet fighter and is very dangerous because of his unique talent where he hypnotises his victims.
• Gaihawk: A violent Destron, he spent many episodes of Victory imprisoned. He was later freed by his Breast Force comrades and proceeded to massacre his guards. Transforms into a fighter jet.
• Deathcobra or Cobra: This unfortunate Destron only appeared in one episode, where Leozack considered replacing the untrustworthy Hellbat with him. Hellbat attempted to convince Deathcobra to go away, but wound up accidentally killing him and framed the Cybertrons.
• Deszaras: The Destron Emperor in Victory was also considered part of the Breast Force subgroup. Unlike his subordinates, however, Deszaras had two partners, Tiger Breast and Eagle Breast.

While the Breast Force were more than a match for the majority of their Cybertron foes, they were never able to defeat Cybertron Commander Star Saber in battle despite their teamwork. However, when Star Saber arrived shortly after Hellbat slew Deathcobra, Leozack furiously ordered the team to unleash their secret weapon: their combined form Liokaiser.

Liokaiser nearly killed Star Saber, but the arrival of God Ginrai was just barely enough to force the combiner to retreat. Liokaiser continued to be a major threat to the Cybertrons up until the final battle, when he was hurled into a huge energy cannon and blasted into deep space.

The reason for the name Breast Force is their toy gimmick. Each Breast Forcer came with a detachable breastplate that transformed into an animal attack partner which could also transform into a weapon. What animal each Breast Force member came with was hinted at in the name (for example, Leozack came with a lion, while Gaihawk had a hawk. Deathcobra's presumably transformed into a cobra).

The toy Liokaiser is notable for removing one of the major flaws of his predecessors: the ease with which a vital part (such as a foot or hand) could be lost. With the Breast Force, however, each part was incorporated into the design of the Transformer (for example, by simply flipping out a certain panel on both Killbison and Drillhorn, they would form Liokaiser's legs complete with feet). The only separate component was Liokaiser's head.
