History Anime / TransformersVictory

* BadassDecay: as usual for one of these things, the earlier characters become more or less bumbling idiots by the end. The Dinoforce (and Dinoking) are initially a reasonable threat in the early episodes, but [[QuirkyMinibossSquad are a joke by the end]].

* KickTheDog: Deathsaurus abounding the Dinoforce to get swept beneath the waves when Atlantis sinks, despite their loyalty to him. It comes back to bite him later.

* LodgedBladeRemoval: During their final battle, Star Saber and Deathsaurus engage in a OneStrokeBattle that the Autobot wins, leaving the tip of his sword lodged in his enemy's chest. In a final show of defiance, Deathsaurus rips the broken blade out and curses Star Saber before collapsing out of a nearby airlock, never to be seen again.

* DemotedToExtra: God Ginrai, the mechanical component of ''Masterforce'''s hero, and before that, the body of Optimus Prime, spends most of his time fighting Decepticons in other sectors (i.e. off-camera) and only appears to be destroyed and turned into what Transfans sarcastically label "a backpack and a pair of boots"- Star Saber's MidSeasonUpgrade.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: As Hellbat (and Deathcobra) learn the hard way; if you shoot blindly at something, don't be surprised if you hit something (or someone) you really didn't mean to.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** When Star Saber takes command of the Autobot forces protecting Earth, he decides to enroll Jan in school so he can be around humans his own age (up until that point, he'd grown up completely surrounded by the Autobots). This unfortunately means that the Decepticons occasionally attack the school to get at Star Saber through Jan.
*** The first time this happens, Star Saber tries to shield the school with his body and wait for Leozack to turn around. Unfortunately, his shielding attempt does nothing, as the school is wide enough that Star Saber cant shield the whole building.
** During Star Saber's meeting with the principal to finalise Jan's enrollment, the principal notes that she needs his signature on the paperwork. As Star Saber towers over the entire school, he promises to have his signature miniaturized and sent to her.
** As Hellbat (and Deathcobra) learn the hard way; if you shoot blindly at something, don't be surprised if you hit something (or someone) you really didn't mean to.
** Many of the Transformers weapons and technology are created to affect their own kin. Jan's mech that he gets later towards the end of the series is made of ordinary Earth metal, which renders it invulnerable to Transformer technology. This plays a crucial role in wrecking several Decepticon schemes and plays a vital role in the final battle.
** Deathsaurus knows about the long history of Earth and how so many Decepticon emperors failed to conquer it. Rather than try to conquer Earth, he decides to destroy the planet.
** Similarly, whenever Deathsaurus personally oversees an operation, unlike his underlings, the second it becomes obvious he has lost, he takes whatever energy he has and runs, preferring that a minor gain is better than a total loss.

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: The Dino Force

** The Breastforce toys are armed with the gun forms of their Breast Animal partners, with their combined form Liokaiser getting a gun made up of Killbison's tank barrels and Jallguar's missiles. While they have these weapons in the anime, they primarily use fiction-only staffs that can change to [[FightingWithChucks sanjieguns]], and Liokaiser's staff can launch spiked rings. Liokaiser's first battle has him use his staff for the entirety of the fight and only pull out his gun to try to deal the killing blow.

The series main character, Star Saber and Victory Leo [[https://hasbropulse.com/products/transformers-victory-saber are getting the Haslab treatment]].

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Deathsaurus vs Deszaras (or [[MerchandiseDriven Debt Source]] if you're feeling snarky). Deathsaurus was the name used when the character appeared in ''Franchise/TransformersTimelines'' while Deszaras appears in this series' DVD boxsets released by Metrodome and Creator/MadmanEntertainment.

* BadAssDecay: as usual for one of these things, the earlier characters become more or less bumbling idiots by the end. The Dinoforce (and Dinoking) are initially a reasonable threat in the early episodes, but [[QuirkyMiniBossSquad are a joke by the end]].

%% * BigBad - Deathsaurus

%% * CastHerd - The Brain Masters, Micromasters etc.

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs - The Dino Force

%% * QuirkyMinibossSquad - The Dino Force

* SparedByAdaptation - God Ginrai is spared from death in the manga version. In the anime, he willingly has himself killed so he can become Victory Leo. In the manga, he's a different character from Leo himself.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS - Deathsaurus vs Deszaras (or [[MerchandiseDriven Debt Source]] if you're feeling snarky). Deathsaurus was the name used when the character appeared in ''Franchise/TransformersTimelines'' while Deszaras appears in this series' DVD boxsets released by Metrodome and Creator/MadmanEntertainment.

* StockFootage - Used a lot, particularly Star Saber's transformation sequence and the Breastforce combining into Liokaiser. One episode used ''two'' transformation shots from Star Saber and an Autobot named Greatshot.

* TeamRocketWins - the series is notable for giving the Decepticons some decent victories.

* WaveMotionGun - Deszaras' space fortress has a huge cannon that takes a long time to power up. He also uses a cannon called the "Living Metal Destroying Cannon". However, it uses up his energy reserve from {{Hammerspace}}.

* SortingAlgorithmOfEvil:
* Its there, but downplayed and even subverted at times. Say what you want about how cliche some tropes can be, but the downplay/subversion of this trope actually made Transformers: Victory a little underwhelming in terms of tension.

''Transformers Victory'' is the Japanese-produced sequel series to ''{{Franchise/Transformers}} [[Anime/TransformersSuperGodMasterforce Super-God Masterforce]]'', taking the focus back to good old fashioned Autobots vs Deceptions. Star Saber, the new leader of the Autobots, is heading the charge against a new Decepticon warlord named Deathsaurus, who began stealing energy from the Earth to fuel and reactivate an old Decepticon space-fortress. This new Autobot commander is also the foster father of a human boy named Jan, who lost his parents to a Decepticon attack.
