I was looking up Star Saber on the Transformers Wiki today, and learned of some very intersting things in the Victory Manga:
From the Deathsaurus page:
As a parallel to Star Saber's adoption of Jan, Deathsaurus had a "son" of his own, a human boy named Solon. Solon's mother was killed during a Decepticon attack on Earth, and who Deathsaurus "adopted", turning him into a cyborg and raising him to believe that he was his son. Solon had frequent clashes with Jan, whose school he began attending, which often degenerated into "my dad can beat up your dad"-style arguments as their "fathers" battled. At one point, Deathsaurus even attempted to bribe Jan into joining the Decepticons with toys, games, candy and cash.
Solon had his own battle armour and often rode Deathsaurus's Breastars as steeds, but when Victory Leo and Star Saber merged into Victory Saber, Deathsaurus sought a way to increase his own power in a similar fashion and crafted a Transformer-sized mech for Solon named King Solon, with which he was able to combine, forming King Zaras. However, in the midst of this battle, Solon discovered the truth about his mother, and his distraction allowed Victory Saber to destroy the King Solon mecha. Deathsaurus fled, abandoning Solon, who accepted his earthly heritage and joined the Autobots.
During the final battle, as Deathsaurus's fortress attacks the Earth, it is he who battles Star Saber in space (unlike the animated series, in which Liokaiser takes this role). Leozack, then, is able to take his treachery to the ultimate extreme by turning the fortress's power on Deathsaurus, and Deathsaurus cripples the craft with his cannon as Star Saber takes Leozack down. Then, the wounded Deathsaurus reveals the true reason he has quested to liberate the fortress from the Dark Nebula - it is home to the Decepticons' families and civilians. As the shocked Autobots discover this, they meet Deathsaurus's wife, Esmeryl and Deathsaurus and Star Saber then make peace, shaking hands and vowing to work together for the betterment of the Transformer race. The combination of Solon's mech and Deathsaurs, King Zaras!:
At first I thought they were kidding, but they aren't. Pages about Leozack's sister and Deathsaurus's Wife:
http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Lyzackhttp://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/EsmerylThis takes things to a whole new level in my opinion, as none of this stuff is even hinted at in the actual anime'. I'll take it as an alternate Universe to Victory, and I really hope that tfarchive puts more issues up in the future, cause this is so strange I think it's awsome. Tfarchive has the first issue of Victory up, but it's pretty standard stuff.
It also once again raises the question of "Can transformers have kids?", and it appears they can.
the story is both strange and incredibly hilarious. To think that decepticons have children is just funny, and that whole Leozack thing was kinda badass at least he gets his revenge.
It is probable that the 'Con civilians have a differant way of going about things then Autobot civilians, like having a very ordered and structured society while Autobots tend to have a freer and less militeristic one.
