Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory (戦え!超ロボット生命体 トランスフォーマーV Tatakae! Chō Robot Seimeitai Transformers Victory), also referred simply to Transformers Victory, was the last Japanese anime show that was part of the "Generation 1" family of Transformers cartoons and media. It originally aired on Japanese television from March 14th, 1989, to December 19th, 1989, for 38 episodes. Several years later in 1991, the show would be dubbed into English by Hong Kong company Omni Productions, who also dubbed Victory's two predecessors: Transformers: The Headmasters (1987-1988) and Transformers: Super God Masterforce (1988-1989).

During the course of the show's original run, six clip show episodes were produced, retelling the events of a certain batch of episodes. These six clip shows would be dubbed into English alongside the rest of the series by Omni Productions.[1][2]

These clip shows would not see an international release until Shout! Factory released the series on DVD in North America in 2012. The Omni dub versions of these episodes were omitted from the release, as were all the dub versions of the show.

In addition, six more clip shows for Victory were produced and released exclusively for Japanese home video and never saw official releases outside of Japan. The only re-release of these particular clip shows is the 2003 Japanese DVD release of the series by Pioneer LDC.[3]
