Victory




Oh Victory...you made me wet my panties :D

It's so sad that this was the last full instalment of G1 Transformers from Japan anyway...

LOVE

Cool new robots for me to lust over
Star Saber
Pretender Shells are able to act independently of the robot, like in Marvel
Star Saber
Lots of new concepts are introduced for the first time (Breastforce, Brainmasters)
Star Saber
LOADS OF COMBINERS!!!
STAR SABER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Dinoforce are just great
STAR SABER STAR SABER STAR SABER!!
Old characters reappear (like Minerva, Ginrai, Perceptor and Zombie Wheeljack)
Did I mention Star Saber?
When Ginrai became Victory Leo he takes his time acclimating to the new body, unlike when Bumblebee became Goldbug or Hot Rod into Rodimus etc
Ginrai gets his jst deserts as well, in Masterforce he had 2 power-up partners (his trailer and Godbomber) yet now he becomes a power up for Star Saber
The Breast Force aren't all introduced at once, You get Leozack first, then the 3 land vehicle ones, the Hellbat, then Gaihawk, then a seventh member who dies, and then their combined form...whew
Subspace is used a lot too to explain the weapons appearing from nowhere :D

HATE

Misleading weapons, like showing the characters having swords when they actually have guns in the toys
Galaxy Shuttle...I like the ide aof the characters, he's huge, powerful...but he has THAT voice...WHY DOES HE HAVE A FREAKY HIGH VOICE?????
Also Galaxy Shuttle is just used as a space bus, which is depressing, considering how strong he is...I am glad however that he didn't mass-shift at any time
The Micromaster Bases are used in the series, but their Micromaster partners aren't seen anywhere
