When Leozack and the Dinoforce attacked Star Saber on Jan Minakaze's first day of school, the Lionbreast grappled with Holi. Attack! Leozack
Later, Deathsaurus decided to exploit the diminutive stature of the Lionbreast and the other Breast Animals, luring the Autobots into an American subway system, where the cramped quarters put them at the mercy of the ferocious creatures. Blacker wound up tangling with Leozack, the Lionbreast and Killbison's Bisonbreast, but was able to hold his own until the villains called retreat. Big City - Underground Terror
In a battle that took place shortly after Hellbat arrived to join the Breastforce on Earth, Lionbreast and the other Breast Animals were all unleashed upon Star Saber in midair and successfully caused him to crash. The New Warrior - Hellbat Soon afterward, when Leozack and Hellbat attempted to steal energy from a Nevada shuttleport, the Lionbreast savaged Machtackle. Attack the Shuttle Base!!
When the Breastforce threatened Marine City with a neutron bomb, the Autobots attempted to stop them. Star Saber knocked the remote control for the bomb from Leozack's hand, but before he could grab it himself, the team's Breast Animals pounced upon him, and the Lionbreast recovered the remote for its master. Fortunately, the bomb had been disarmed by Braver. Tanker Hijack Operation Not long after, Lionbreast and the Breast Animals faced off against Star Saber once more during a battle in the asteroid belt, but were scattered by a barrage of fire from Galaxy Shuttle. A Fierce Battle!! The Asteroid
With the addition of Guyhawk to the Breastforce ranks, the team preferred to fight in their combined form of Liokaiser rather than individually, and as such, the Breast Animals were deployed less frequently. Immediately before the team's first combination, during a clash on planet Micro, the Lionbreast was released to attack Star Saber, but a single kick from the Autobot hero knocked it to the ground. Unite! Liokaiser
In its next battle, the Lionbreast went up against Victory Leo with the aid of the Kōmoribreast, but the two creatures were no match for the feral Autobot, and the Lionbreast was easily pinned beneath Leo's massive paw. Fight!! Victory Leo The Lionbreast engaged in a fight with Victory Leo, and it fared much better, biting into the Autobot's leg and causing him to collapse before gnawing on his arm. Awaken! Victory Leo Later the Lionbreast took part in stealing energy from the power plant. The Tide Is Turned! The Ultimate Weapon, the Victory Unification
