Drillhorn (G1)

This article is about the Generation 1 Decepticon. For theAnimatedDecepticon, seeDrillhorn (Animated).

Drillhorn is aDecepticonBreastforceWarrior from theVictoryportion of theGeneration 1continuity family.

Drillhorn(ドリルホーンDoriruhōn) is the veteran strategist amongst theBreastforcegroup. He is very knowledgeable and very tough... and can bequiteopinionated, to the point of being stupidly bull-headed. His adherence to past battle experiences can often leave him unprepared for unexpected changes in the battlefield.

Drillhorn is accompanied by hisBreast Animalpartner,Hornbreast,a robotic rhino that can transform into either his chestplate or a hand-held blaster. Like his fellow Breastforce warriors, he is also armed with anElectromagnetic Nunchaku.

Drillhorn can also combine with his Breastforce teammates to formLiokaiser,becoming the left leg of the super robot.

To keep the Autobots busy while the fortress's main cannon charged, Deathsaurus dispatched the Breastforce—combined as Liokaiser—to battle them. In the course of the clash, Victory Leo was able to blast Liokaiser into the fortress's cannon barrel, which drained his energy dry. With his consciousness fading and his body unable to move, Liokaiser fell into the deep depths of space, while Drillhorn likely perished within him.Showdown! The Fortress vs the Victory Unification

Toys

Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers

• Drillhorn(Breastforce,1989)

• ID number:D-334
• Known designers:Takashi Kunihiro(TakaraTomy),Masakatsu Saito(concept artist)

Released in theVictoryportion of Takara'sFight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformerstoyline, Drillhorn transforms into a four-treaded drill-tank (the drill doesn't spin, sorry). His packed-in partnerHornbreastfits securely on Drillhorn's chest in either mode. Drillhorn can also use Hornbreast as a hand-held blaster.

Drillhorn also forms the left leg to the group's combined formLiokaiser;unlike most original-series combiners, Drillhorn's combiner "kibble"is fully integrated, with the combiner foot simply flipping out from the side of his leg.

This mold was used to makeRescue Force 3.

• Liocaesar[sic](Gift set, 1989)

• ID number:D-335

Drillhorn was also available in a complete six-piece box set of the entire Breastforce team. Each toy was identical to their individual releases, with the glaring omission ofbioandTech Speccards for the individual members.

Combiner Wars

• Liokaiser(Platinum Edition giftset,2016)

• Accessories:Drill attachment, double-barreled gun (black), hand/foot/gun

GenerationsCombiner WarsDrillhorn is aredecoand new-headretoolingofCombiner WarsBrawl,transforming into a tank of indeterminate, probably-made-up model. Instead of a cannon-barrel, he comes with the (non-spinning) drill attachment included with theBotCon 2016General Ramhornand Hasbro'sCombiner WarsNosecone.Unlike those two, however, his tank mode is in the normal Brawl orientation with the drill replacing the cannon-barrel, rather than putting the drill on the back of the turret and turning the whole mode around as with Ramhorn and Nosecone. This drill attachment can also be a hand-held weapon in robot mode. He also comes with a black redeco ofCombiner WarsAir Raid'sdouble-barreled blaster.

As aCombiner WarsDeluxe limb, he can combine with any Voyager Class toys released as part of that subline or theUnite Warriorsline, or form one ofLegendsGodbomber'slegs, but is of course intended to be combined with his pack-in Destrons and "Dezarus" to form Liokaiser. His nominal placement is as the left leg.

Unlike the original toy, Drillhorn is designed to have his leg mode facing forward as opposed to facing sideways. While it can be attached sideways to achieve a look similar to the original toy's design, doing so will rob the Combiner of its functional knees.

Drillhorn was only available as part of a boxedLiokaisergiftset,the onlyCombiner Wars"Collection Pack" that'sco-brandedas part of thePlatinum Editionrange. In the United States, this set was officially exclusive to online retailer Entertainment Earth, but was also stocked by competitorBigBadToyStore,which obtained its stock through Asian vendors. In Hasbro's Asian markets such as Hong Kong and Singapore, it was available at general retail. Additionally, it was also sold at Ripley stores in Chile and at Myer stores in Australia, whereas in Canada, it was available via the CanadianWalmartwebsite, but never sold in stores.
