Fiction

Victory cartoon

Voice actor:Tomomichi Nishimura (Japanese)

He'sCobra in robot mode, butOktober Guard in vehicle mode!

Deathcobra was summoned byDeathsaurus to join his cadre of warriors, completing the team that would form the goliath Liokaiser (by replacing Hellbat) as his left arm. However, he was intercepted on his way to the Decepticons' base by Hellbat, who begged him to just go away, knowing that with Deathcobra on the team, his usefulness was at an end.

You! Stay in my line of fire!This, I command!

Naturally, Deathcobra told Hellbat to stick it in hisreactor linkage, and the jittery Hellbat threatened to shoot his rival. Unimpressed, Deathcobra advanced, and in a panic, Hellbat actuallydid shoot him. This led to a firefight where Hellbat was tremendously outclassed, but a wild, lucky shot ended up blowing through Deathcobra's chest and killed the Decepticon warrior.

Realizing what a deep pile he was in, Hellbat was saved when he realized the fight had been witnessed by theMicromastersHoli andClipper, letting him place the blame for Deathcobra's death on theAutobots, and ensuring his position as part of Liokaiser.

Hellbat informed the Breastforce of Deathcobra's death at the hands of the Autobots which came as such a shock to them. Leozack however was a bit skeptical of Hellbat's story,Guyhawk was very angry and wanted to kill Star Saber himself. Once they got to the scene, they discovered Holi and Clipper next to Deathcobra's body and prepared a "blood bath" for them. The Micromasters were saved by Star Saber, but the team revealed their secret: merging into Liokaiser, they vowed to defeat him in Deathcobra's memory.

• Liokaiser (Multi-pack,2026)

• Series:Victory /Legacy^[1][2]
• Accessories: 6Electromagnetic Nunchaku (Tier 2 unlock), Display stands (Tier 3 unlock)
• Known designers:Evan Brooks (Hasbro),Shuhei Umezu (TakaraTomy)^[3]

37 years after his storyline debut, Deathcobra got his first-ever toy rendition as part of theLegacyChest-force, the fifthHasLab crowdfunded Transformers release. Deathcobra is capable of combining with his squaddies to form additional configurations forLiokaiser by either tagging in for "Ellbat" as the left arm or forming a shoulder cannon. He also includes his animal companion, the "cobra Chest Animal". All seven Chest Animals, including his own, are capable of being attached to his cannon mode to create some sort ofLiefeldian gunbomination.

As the Tier 1 unlock, Deathcobra's existence was even more tenuous than your average HasLab offering, with he and his Chest Animal only set to see production if the campaign reached 13,000 backers byMarch 24,2025. Thankfully, the goal was met onFebruary 24, guaranteeing that the character would finally receive a toy.

If you build it, they will play. Thistoys & merchandise-related article is astub. You can helpTransformers Wiki byexpanding it.

This item is currently scheduled for release, but is not yet available at mass retail.

Notes

• Amusingly, the anime cheats Deathcobra out of both a transformation sequence and a "Breast Attack" sequence, having them occur either off-camera or while another scene is already in progress.
• Kre-O Deathcobra is made from existingKre-O parts like almost every other cameo Kreon, as he uses theStarscream helmet, a backpack piece and a rotor piece. The body deco is created in a manner that homages the original'sBreast animal partner (with the backpack piece emulating it even further).
• Deathcobra's body in the 2005 IDW comics is modeled on the jet-basedGenerations Deluxe ClassRatbat toy (thanks to the coloring, it bears a resemblance toanother "cobra"-based robot toy).
• In IDW continuity, Deathcobra replaces Hellbat as a member of Deathsaurus's loyalists. However,Lost Light #12 has Liokaiser erroneously drawn with Hellbat still as the left arm. Oops.

Foreign names
