identity help needed

Post by Thrust »

I've had this guy about a year and have had no luck finding him, he's a decepticon, a jet, and also looks like a combiner.

Any help is appreciated.

I think that he is the decpeticon gaihawk from the japanese 'breast force' line. He is missing his nosecone and partner. Maybe TT or CM could confirm this.

Ha ha ha . No kup they are a set of decepticons where a breast plate becomes an animal/gun for the robot. As you can expect from his name he had a hwak partner. he is part of a six robot combiner called 'lio kaiser' they feature in the japanese TF series called victory.
(ooc)it is quite a funny name though but the autobots had brainmasters at about the same time.

Did some more research here is what it would be without the missing parts:

It forms part of this:

They were japanese exclusives. (ooc) We need a thread dedicated to identifying TF figures that are not covered by the site here.

Its also one of the rarest combiners as it was only released in japan. for all six with the combiner parts can well be worth more than six unicrons on :twisted: bay. Saying that though all japanese exlcusive TF's are worth stupid money (you know, Deathsuarus, brainmasters(road ceasar), victory saber, dino force(dino king), breast force (lio kaiser) and multiforce (land cross.).)
Brackets indicate combiners.

Way cool pic, I've not seen many pictures of the Japanese combiners and obviously not that one.

Its also one of the rarest combiners as it was only released in japan.
Darn, I would have loved to complete this, oh well maybe I'll get lucky and find the parts. (yeah right).

The last one I saw was jaruga but I'd never pay $150 for him...

If you want cheap versions of drillhorn, kill bison and jaruga [and can live without the breat partners] look for Tf's called rescue force.
