Transformers: Victory - Season 1 - Episode 36
With the energy of Atlantis in their clutches, Deathsaurus and the Breastforce head to the Dark Nebula aboard the Thunder Arrow in order to liberate the Emperor of Destruction's Planet-Destroying Fortress.

#2 - Sneak Attack! Dinoking
Transformers: Victory - Season 1 - Episode 2
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.

#3 - Infiltration...The Uranium Mine

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.
#4 - The Clash of Two Heroes
Transformers: Victory - Season 1 - Episode 9
This is the first of many clip shows for Victory, which, unlike the vast majority of those created for all previous seasons, actually aired on television. This one consists entirely of clips from "The Brave Hero of the Universe - Star Saber", "Sneak Attack! Dinoking", "Attack! Leozack", "Unite!! Multiforce", "Move Out! Rescue Team", "Explosion!! The Energy Base" and "Big City - Underground Terror", complete with new omniscient narration. As you might have assumed from that list of titles, this isn't any kind of "themed" clip show (as several of the others are), but simply a truncated retelling of the events of the series up to this point. Why they decided not to include "Infiltration... The Uranium Mine" is anyone's guess.

Deathsaurus approves the plan, but Leozack is not happy that his subordinate has superseded his authority.

#6 - A Fierce Battle!! The Asteroid
Transformers: Victory - Season 1 - Episode 16
While passing through the asteroid belt on its way to Jupiter, the human-piloted Spaceship 301 suddenly finds itself surrounded by a cloud of clinging, purple fog. The crew broadcast an SOS to Earth, but communication is suddenly cut off, and all trace of the ship vanishes.
#7 - Transformer Warriors Assembled
Transformers: Victory - Season 1 - Episode 20
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".

Hellbat escapes by diving beneath the waves and quickly makes his way back to the submerged Thunder Arrow, where he reports to Deathsaurus on the apparent death of Ginrai.

#10 - Awaken, Victory Leo!
Transformers: Victory - Season 1 - Episode 29
With word coming in of Decepticon attacks in the Orient, the Autobots move the Shuttle Base to Japan. As Galaxy Shuttle departs on patrol, the watching Jean, Holi, Wingwaver and Dashtacker are distracted by the roars and shouts of Victory Leo, who is crashing and blasting his way through a nearby rocky outcrop. Wingwaver tells him that training is one thing, but to be careful not to destroy the base... only to be immediately silenced by the icy glare the feral Autobot shoots him. Dashtacker sighs that he can't think of Victory Leo as God Ginrai reborn, and Jean grows depressed again as he is reminded of this fact. The two Multiforcers head inside to rejoin Machtackle, who has just intercepted a coded Decepticon message. Decrypting the communiqué, they deduce that the Decepticons are targeting the geothermal power plant on Mount Asama and inform Star Saber that they are going to head out. The Supreme Commander (currently undergoing a mysterious procedure at the hands of Wheeljack, Perceptor and Minerva) orders them to stay, and instead dispatches Victory Leo, Holi and Jean, much to the Multiforce's chagrin.
