They're actually both looking for characterization.
Let's see what you can see...

This article is in need of images.

Specifics: Toy; fictional appearances


Rairyu is a Decepticon from the Victory portion of Generation 1 continuity family.
Rairyu

With a brain size even a dinosaur would laugh at...

Rairyu is the idiot amongst a team of idiots. When he manages to form a coherent word it is cause for celebration. Oddly, he still doesn’t attract the criticism or ridicule of his teammate Kakuryu. Still he is a vital member of the Dinoforce if only because his absence would leave Dinoking with an even weaker stomach then normal.


English-Maylay dub name: Birdbrain


Fiction

Victory Cartoon

Voice actor: Shinobu Satouchi (Japan)
No, really. HE WANTS TO TELL YOU ABOUT THE TRANSFORMERS.
I want to tell you about the Transformers!

This character article is a stub and is missing information on their fictional appearances. You can help Teletraan I: The Transformers Wiki by expanding it.


Victory manga

Toys

Victory

  • Rairyu (Dinoforce, 1989)
    • Japanese ID number: D-327
    • Accessories: "Brontosaurus" shell, shell-back, "Bronto Gun", Dinoking hip
A redeco of the Pretender Monster Birdbrain, Rairyu transforms into a quadrupedal monster-thing. He can also form the middle torso to the team's combined mode Dinoking. He comes with a soft-plastic armored apatosaur outer "shell" that he can fit into.
  • Dinoking (Multi-pack, 1989)
Japanese ID number: D-328
All six members of Dinoforce were available both in individual boxes, and in a complete six-piece gift set.

Trivia

  • Rairyu's name translates roughly as "Thunder Dragon".
  • Rairyu's instructions list his shell as a "brontosaurus", a type of dinosaur that didn't actually exist. Oops.
  • The Dinoforce shells are notable for developing a green patina on the painted-gold portions, as well as a slimy texture over their whole surface over time. What causes this is unknown, but ick. Even previously-unopened samples will develop this nastiness. While some water and a little bit of hand-soap should take care of the slime, there's not much to be done about the green discoloration.
  • The Victory anime depicted the Dinoforce members as carrying melee weapons, rather than the blasters the toys actually came with.
