Season 1:
The year is 2025 AD. Since escaping from Earth, the Destrons have continued their invasion of planets all over the universe in search of a new base. To defend against them, the Cybertrons have joined forces with the people of Earth, forming the Space Defense Force, led by their mightiest warrior, Star Saber. One day, Wingwaver reports to Star Saber that the Destron Dinoforce have attacked the Moon, heading toward Earth. The Brainmasters -- Blacker, Laster and Braver -- move to investigate reports of Destron activity and face off against the Dinoforce on the Moon. Star Saber heads toward the Moon as well, then encounters a strange energy in space which turns out to be the Destron commander, Deszaras. The other Multiforce members -- Dashtacker and Machtackle -- arrive to remove the people from the Moon station as Star Saber defeats the Dinoforce before he and Deszaras do battle on the Moon.
Deszaras orders his second-in-command, Leozak, to strike down anyone who tries to interfere with the Destrons' plans to steal Earth's energy. Leozak then orders the Dinoforce leader, Goryu, to take the others and destroy Galaxy Shuttle at the Cybertron base. Goryu comically rouses the other Dinoforce members and they head toward Earth, encountering Wingwaver, who is on patrol, on the way. The Brainmasters then head out to aid Wingwaver in his battle against the Dinoforce and begin to overwhelm their opponents. As a result, the Dinoforce merge into the giant Dinoking (recolored Monstructor). The Pretender shells of the Dinoforce has invaded the Cybertron's base as Dinoking thrashes the Brainmasters, forcing Star Saber to head into space to save his men. Star Saber drives off Dinoking as Galaxy Shuttle sends the Pretender dinosaurs flying.
The Destrons have set up their base underwater inside their spaceship, Thunder Arrow. Meanwhile, Jan, who has had some painful adventures while playing with the Cybertron, begins school on Earth with children his own age with much fanfare from Star Saber and Holi. They go into a flashback about how Jan was the sole survivor of a research ship attacked and destroyed by the Dinoforce. Leozak and the other Dinoforce, in an attempt to corner Star Saber, end up somehow at Jan's new school. The other Brainmasters arrive and the Dinoforce merge into Dinoking. In response though, the three Brainmasters merge themselves into Roadcaesar and manage to defeat Dinoking while Star Saber sends Leozak running. Jan earns the other children's respect and friendship for his heroism in the fight.
The latest Breastforce warriors -- Jargua, Drillhorn and Killbison -- along with Leozak and the Dinoforce make plans to attack an energy complex. Meanwhile, Jan gets a physics lesson from the Multiforce about fulcrums. Suddenly, at the plant, the Destrons strike from the air and the sea with the Dinoforce while the Breastforce members hide in the sand in ambush. The Multiforce spot the destruction from afar and battle the Dinoforce on even terms until they form Dinoking. Jan informs the other Cybertrons that there's danger and Star Saber and the Brainmasters head out to investigate. Just as things look bad, the Multiforce merge to form Landcross to do battle with Dinoking. Star Saber shows up to help Landcross take on Dinoking while the Brainmasters battle Killbison and Jargua, driving away the Destrons.
The rest of the Micromaster Rescue Squad members -- Fire, Pibo and Boater -- arrive at Countdown to begin their first assignment on Earth. Meanwhile, Leozak sends the Dinoforce members toward a specially-built floating sea platform where Jan's female friend is. Star Saber hears of the attack and goes along with the Brainmasters and the Rescue Squad to save the humans there. While the Brainmasters lead the dinosaurs away from the people and the Rescue Force start evacuating the survivors, Star Saber does battle with Leozak. He manages to defeat the Destron second-in-command, then watches Roadcaesar defeat Dinoking.
In the wilderness of Africa, the Destrons ponder their next move -- finding the beta-uranium that is currently being mined and using it to increase their fighting strength. Leozak, Drillhorn, Killbison and Jargua lead the attack against the mining operation with the Dinoforce not far behind. They take the miners as hostages but not before one of them transmits an S.O.S. to the Cybertrons. Laster, Blacker and Wingwaver use a drilling gun to bore their way toward the suffocating hostages, but cannot seem to blast their way through a large slab of rock. The two remaining humans helps the Cybertrons blast through the rock. The Dinoforce then merge into Dinoking and attack Star Saber, who has arrived with reinforcements, but is then soundly defeated.
In the middle of the jungle, the Destrons are rapidly gathering and storing energy in the hopes of recharging their space platform. The Cybertrons discover what the Destrons are up to and send out the team of Braver and the Multiforce to stop them. There is increasing tension between Blacker and Wingwaver. Dinoforce member Yokuryu tries to blast the Cybertrons into the open from the air as the other Dinoforce spread out throughout the jungle. Dash and Tacker accidentally fall into some quicksand but are rescued by Blacker. Attempts to contact Star Saber by radio fail due to interference, so Blacker tries to distract the Dinos so that the Multiforce can flee. Just as Blacker gets triple-teamed by the Dinos, Wingwaver shows up and helps him escape. Star Saber shows up and defeats Leozak, sending the Destrons retreating.
The Destrons are attracted to a city's three-layer transportation system, using Drillhorn to dig deep underground to tap into the city's electrical systems. As the Breastforce members roam around under the city, the Cybertrons pick up a distress signal and mobilize to investigate. Star Saber, the Brainmasters and the Rescue Force head into the underground to stop the Destrons, but they each encounter danger -- Star Saber meeting Deszaras, the Brainmasters meeting the Breastforce and the Rescue Force trying to free the people. Star Saber manages to defeat Deszaras and his two animal partners, forcing him to retreat with only a little amount of energy but a lot of destruction.
A clip show recounting highlights of the series thus far.
Leozack promises Desaras that he will obtain valuable information to aid the Decepticon cause, while another of his Breast Force teammates, Hellbat, has arrived on Earth and has infiltrated an energy research installation.
Hellbat meets with Desaras to introduce himself, and informs him of an operation to transport a load of energy into space using a space shuttle being launched from a port that the Decepticons have attacked previously.
Frustrated with his failure thus far to obtain the energy needed to recover his fortress from the Dark Nebula, Desaras becomes angered with his troops until Drillhorn suggests seizing an oil tanker. An entire major city is then left without gasoline, prompting Victory Saber to dispatch the Brainmasters to investigate and determine if the Decepticons are involved.
A clip show recounting the activities of the Chest Force.
The Chest Force-minus Hellbat-attack a convoy of tankers, one of which was discovered to be carrying fuel by the absent Decepticon. The Brainmasters and Galaxy Shuttle depart to confront them, unaware that Hellbat is attempting to infiltrate the base and steal information.
A large sinkhole opens up in Canada, and Star Saber sends Machtackle to investigate. Guided by a local farmer, he examines the hole and splits into Mach and Tackle, who determine the cause to be the cutoff of local underground water.
When spaceships begin disappearing in the asteroid belt, Star Saber disguises himself to investigate personally.
On the planet Micro, Star Saber and the Rescue Team join forces with the wandering warrior Greatshot to foil Hellbat's latest plan.
The Breastforce seek to expand their ranks when they attack a prison in order to free their old comrade, Gaihawk.
Trouble is brewing for Hellbat when the Breastforce bring in a new member, but to what lengths is he willing to go to ensure his place on the team when their ultimate power is finally revealed?
This is one of the many clip shows that are part of Victory, which, unlike the vast majority of those created for other series, actually aired on television. This particular recap opens by briefly introducing the main cast of the series, then transitions into a combiner team showcase, but despite the variety of characters covered, the episode features clips from a surprisingly small list of sources: "The Brave Hero of the Universe - Star Saber", "Unite!! Multiforce", "Move Out! Rescue Team", "Big City - Underground Terror", and "Unite! Liokaiser".

This episode is the fourth of Victory's many clip shows.
If Jean cannot awaken the soul of God Ginrai within the bestial Victory Leo, it's the end for him and Holi!
Deathsaurus threatens our planet with an orbital missile bombardment that will keep the Autobots at bay; this weapon is highly sensitive to whenever the Autobots intervene in Decepticon operations, but he hasn't reckoned with the ultimate power that is soon to arise, which will turn the tables of the situation to save the day for the Earth: Victory Combination - Victory Saber!

A Decepticon has infiltrated the Shuttle Base and planted bombs throughout it... or have they?
The Decepticons unleash a swarm of metal-eating insects on the unsuspecting Autobots.
This episode is the fifth of Victory's many clip shows. Like the previous one, it’s nothing more than a recap of the episodes that have aired since that last clip show, featuring footage from "Awaken! Victory Leo", "The Tide is Turned! The Ultimate Weapon, the Victory Unification", "Jean - Defend the Campus!!", "A Mystery?! The Deception of the Base Bombs" and "The Death-Bringing Space Insects!!", as well as a short clip from "Resurrection!? The Decepticon Fortress". As it contributes nothing to the series, it was not included on either the Metrodome or Madman Entertainment DVD collections of the series.
