Ok. Lets start anew. This'll be pretty much the same as the brave/eldoran thread from tfw2005. So I'll start off by throwing all the names out for all the brave series and their heroes. I'll write their names in japanese/romaji and english for those curious or for yahoo auction purposes . Hope this isnt too confusing for you guys. The order will be the final combination then the next step down.
Braves 勇者エクスカイザー Yuusha/Brave - Exkaiser -グレートエクスカイザーGreat Exkaiser (Exkaiser, King Roader and Dragon Jet's combination) --キングローダー King Roader/キングエクスカイザー King Exkaiser (Exkaiser and King Roader's combination) --ドラゴンジェット Dragon Jet/ドラゴンカイザー Dragon Kaiser (Exkaiser and Dragon Jet's combination) --エクスカイザー Exkaiser -ウルトラレイカー Ultra Raker (Blue Raker and Green Raker's combination) --ブルーレイカー Blue Raker --グリーンレイカー Green Raker -ゴッドマックス God Max (Sky Max, Dash Max and Drill Max's combination) --スカイマックス Sky Max --ダッシュマックス Dash Max --ドリルマックス Drill Max -ダイノガイスト Dino Geist (Main villain, transforms into either jet or T-rex) Dinogeist Review It should be noted that Exkaiser was reissued few years ago but Dragon Kaiser was NOT reissued to accompany him. 太陽の勇者ファイバード Taiyo no Yuusha/Brave of the Sun - Fighbird -グレートファイバード Great Fighbird (Katori, Fire Jet, Fire Shuttle, Flame Breaster and Breaster Jet's combination) --武装合体ファイバード Busou Gattai Fighbird (Fighbird and Flame Breaster's combination) ---ファイヤージェット Fire Jet/ファイバード Fighbird (Katori Yutarou and Fire Jet's combination) --ジェット合体グランバード Jet Gattai Granbird (Granbird and Breaster Jet's combination) ---ファイヤーシャトル Fire Shuttle/グランバード Granbird (Katori Yutarou and Fire Shuttle's combination) Busou Fighbird Review Great Fighbird Review 1 Great Fighbird Review 2 -スーパーガーディオン Super Guardion (Guard Star, Guard Fire, Guard Rescue and Guard Wing's combination) --ガーディオン Guardion (Guard Star, Guard Fire and Guard Rescue's combination) ---ガードスター Guard Star ---ガードファイヤー Guard Fire ---ガードレスキュー Guard Rescue ---ガードウィング Guard Wing Super Guardion Review -サンダーバロン Thunder Baron (Ace Baron, Drill Baron, Road Baron, Aqua Baron and Sky Baron's combination) --エースバロン Ace Baron --ドリルバロン Drill Baron --ロードバロン Road Baron --アクアバロン Aqua Baron --スカイバロン Sky Baron -ドライアス Draias (Main villain, combines from Death Tiger, Death Eagle and Death Dragon to form either Jet or Robot) Draias Review Same as King Exkaiser, Fighbird was reissued but Granbird was not reissued to accompany him. 伝説の勇者ダ・ガーン Densetsu no Yuusha/Brave of Legend - Dagarn -グレートダ・ガーンGX Great Dagarn GX (Dagarn X and Gaohn's combination) --ダ・ガーンX Dagarn X (Dagarn, Earth Liner and Earth Fighter's combination; can also form Dagarn Jet) --ガ・オーン Gaohn ---ダ・ガーン Dagarn -ペガサスセイバー Pegasus Saber (Jumbo Saber, Jet Saber, Shuttle Saber and Hawk Saber's combination) --スカイセイバー Sky Saber (Jumbo Saber, Jet Saber and Shuttle Saber's combination) ---ジャンボセイバーJumbo Saber ---ジェットセイバー Jet Saber ---シャトルセイバー Shuttle Saber ---ホークセイバー Hawk Saber Pegasus Saber Review -ランドバイソンLand Bison (Big Lander, Drill Lander, Turbo Lander and Mach Lander's combination) --ビッグランダー Big Lander --ドリルランダー Drill Lander --ターボランダー Turbo Lander --マッハランダー Mach Lander -セブンチェンジャー Seven Changer (Can assume seven forms) Seven Changer Review -レッドガイスト Red Geist (TF repaint of Death Saurus from TF Victory) Like those before him, Dagarn was reissued but without his combining partner. 勇者特急マイトガイン Yuusha Tokkyu/Brave Express - Might Gaine -グレートマイトガイン・パーフェクトモード Great Might Gaine Perfect Mode (Might Gaine, Might Kaiser and Might Gunner's combination) --グレートマイトガイン Great Might Gaine (Might Gaine and Might Kaiser's combination) ---マイトガイン Might Gaine (Gaine, Might Wing and Locomoriser's combination) ---マイトカイザー Might Kaiser (Kaiser Drill, Kaiser 1, Kaiser 2, Kaiser 3, Kaiser 4 and Kaiser 5's combination; can also form Kaiser Jet) ---マイトガンナー Might Gunner ----ガイン Gaine Great Might Gaine Review 1 Great Might Gaine Review 2 Great Might Gaine Review 3 -バトルボンバー Battle Bomber (Lio Bomber, Dino Bomber, Bird Bomber and Horn Bomber's combination; can also form animal express) --トライボンバー Tri Bomber (Lio Bomber, Dino Bomber and Bird Bomber's combination; can also form animal express) ---ライオボンバー Lio Bomber ---ダイノボンバー Dino Bomber ---バードボンバー Bird Bomber ---ホーンボンバー Horn Bomber Battle Bomber Review -ガードダイバー Guard Diver (Fire Diver, Police Diver, Jet Diver and Drill Diver's combination; can also form rescue express) --ファイアダイバー Fire Diver --ポリスダイバー Police Diver --ジェットダイバー Jet Diver --ドリルダイバー Drill Diver -飛龍 Hiryu (Repaint of Sonic Bomber from TF Zone) -轟龍 Goryu (Repaint of Dai Atlas from TF Zone) Might Gaine was reissued as BR (Brave Revival)-01, Might Kaiser was reissued as BR-02, Might Gunner was reissued as BR-03 and alltogether was reissued as Might Gaine Perfect Mode BR-04. BR-04 is missing BR-03's extra Dorinken sword for Might Gaine but all of the Brave Revival series were given a face lift with more darker and more show accurate colour scheme and more paint added. 勇者警察ジェイデッカー Yuusha Keisatsu/Brave Police - J-Decker -ファイヤージェイデッカー Fire J-Decker (J-Decker and Duke Fire's combination) --ファイヤージェイデッカー・マックスキャノンモード Fire J-Decker Max Cannon Mode (J-Decker, Duke Fire and Gun Max's combination) ---ジェイデッカー J-Decker (Deckard and J-Roader's combination) ----ジェイデッカー・マックスキャノンモード J-Decker Max Cannon Mode (J-Decker and Gun Max's combination) ---デュークファイヤー Duke Fire (Duke and Fire Roader's combination) ----デッカード Deckard ----デューク Duke -ガンマックスアーマー Gun Max Armour (Gun Max and Gun Bike's combination) --ガンマックス Gun Max J-Decker Review (By Rizuan76) Duke Fire and Fire J-Decker Review (By Rizuan76) STD Fire J-Decker Max Cannon Mode Review 1 STD Fire J-Decker Max Cannon Mode Review 2 J-Decker has not been reissued nor has Duke Fire or Gun Max. -スーパービルドタイガー Super Build Tiger (Macrane, Power Joe, Dumpson and Drill Boy's combination; can also form a combined vehicle) --ビルドタイガー Build Tiger (Macrane, Power Joe and Dumpson's combination; can also form a combined vehicle) ---マクレーン Macrane ---パワージョー Power Joe ---ダンプソン Dumpson ---ドリルボーイ Drill Boy Super Build Tiger Review 1 Super Build Tiger Review 2 -シャドウ丸 Shadowmaru (repaint and remold of Sixshot from Transformers, transforms into sixth forms) Shadowmaru Review 1 黄金勇者ゴルドラン Ougon Yuusha/Brave of Gold - Goldran -グレートゴルドラン Great Goldran (Goldran, Leon Kaiser and Sorakage's combination) --スカイゴルドラン Sky Goldran (Goldran and Sorakage's combination) --スカイレオンカイザー Sky Leon Kaiser (Leon Kaiser and Sorakage's combination) ---ゴルドラン Goldran (Dran and Golgon's combination) ---レオンカイザー Leon Kaiser (Leon and Kaiser's combination) ---空影 Sorakage ----ドラン Dran ----レオン Leon Brave Revival 05 Great Goldran Review 01 Brave Revival 05 Great Goldran Review 02 Brave Revival 05 Great Goldran Review 03 -ゴッドシルバリオン God Silverion (Jet Silver, Star Silver, Drill Silver and Fire Silver's combination) --シルバリオン Silverion (Jet Silver, Star Silver and Drill Silver's combination) ---ジェットシルバー Jet Silver ---スターシルバー Star Silver ---ドリルシルバー Drill Silver ---ファイヤーシルバー Fire Silver God Silverion Review -アドベンジャー Advenger -キャプテンシャーク・ハイパーギャラクティカバスターモード Captain Shark Hyper Galactic Buster Mode (Captain Shark and Advenger's combination) --キャプテンシャーク Captain Shark -デスギャリガン Death Garigun (Repaint of Sky Garry from Transformers) Great Goldran was reissued as BR-05 with a complete chrome over but initially was only available as an internet order.

(Thanks Riz. Didnt know that.) The next series was not made into animation but were featured in 2 PS2 games Brave Saga 1 and 2.

(Emperios and Battle Chaser's combination) ---エンペリオス Emperios Eldorans This series was made as a rival to Braves by Tomy. Since the Takara Tomy merger it seems right to include them in the same thread. 絶対無敵ライジンオー Zettai Muteki Raijinoh/Absolutely Invincible Raijinoh -ゴッドライジンオー God Raijinoh (Raijinoh and Bakuryuoh's combination) --ライジンオー Raijinoh (Kenoh, Houoh and Juoh's combination) --バクリュウオー Bakuryuoh ---剣王 Kenoh (Sword King) ---鳳王HouohPhoeinix King) ---獣王 Juoh (Beast King) 元気爆発ガンバルガー Genki Bakuhatsu/Energy Bomb - Ganbaruger -グレートガンバルガー Great Ganbaruger (Ganbarugar, Revolger and Gekiryuger's combination) --ガンバルガー Ganburuger (Gou Tiger, Mach Eagle and King Elephan's combination) --リボルガー Revolger --ゲキリュウガー Gekiryuger ---ゴウタイガー Gou Tiger ---マッハイーグル Mach Eagle ---キングエレファン King Elephan 熱血最強ゴウザウラー Nekketsu Saikyo/Hot Blooded Strongest - Gozaurer -キングゴウザウラー King Gosaurer (Gosaurer, Magna Saurer and Gransaurer's combination; can also form granjet) --ゴウザウラー Gosaurer (Mach Ptera, Rand Stego and Thunder Brachio's combination; can also form Saurer jet) --マグナザウラー Magna Saurer (transforms into magna tyranno) --グランザウラー Gran Saurer (transforms into Grantops) ---マッハプテラ Mach Ptera ---ランドステゴ Land Stego ---サンダーブラキオ Thunder Brachio Gosaurer Review Heres also a list of transforming Brave/eldoran products not apart of the original classic products.

I love GaoGaiGar and wish I could afford to collect the line. But until then, MOAR PIC PLZ!
(Btw, where's Vangelus and Sol Fury? I figured they'd be all over this thread.)

Would you guys like me to do mini reviews of my Braves? Includes pics . I've got some leader braves and some support braves that I could review. I've only done reviews on Battle Bomber and Fighbird so far on tfw2005 so I could do some reviews on my other braves?

Yes Roan pls do more of yr reviews
Btw i'll try to add some pixs of mine too. Edit: Since I'm already here, might as well start the ball rolling eh? ok maybe i'll do a mini review of each of the cast of GGG (since i already have most figs of the main cast). First up is The king of Braves, Gaogaigar! it's the last & the final of the eight Brave series. & considered by most to be the best of all the Brave series. it was broadcasted in 1997. this toy is not the version by Takara but instead made by Sonokong of korea. Takara officially licence it's product to Sonokong (incl TFs). so if you see any TFs made in korea by Sonokong, dun wori it's not a knock-off or a bootleg. the quality is the same, no difference at all. without further ado.. The front box cover. The back of the box. The 4 components that comprises Gaogaigar. from L to R: the stealth bomber Stealth Gao, the robot lion Galeon, the drill tank Drill Gao & in front is the bullet train Liner Gao. Close-up images of Galeon. Stealth Gao Drill Gao Liner Gao Now this is the alternate robot mode of Galeon but he's called Gaigar. He's the main mech in da series. in da series it both Galeon & Gaigar are two different characters when they transform (sort of). dun ask me why.. When the situation arises in which Gaigar needs additional weaponry. he can merge with Drill Gao for an offensive mode. this mode is truly bad-ass. any enemies will surely be torn to shreds!:laugh: Gaigar himself have flight capability but whenever he needs to max-up his speed. he can combine with Stealth Gao for a supersonic mode. Now here it is GAOGAIGAR!!!!!!!!! he's the super robot form of Gaigar & all the Gao machines combined. a real butt-kicking robot. Fuuh yoo. Here's Gaogaigar with one of his main weapon of choice. it's called the Dividing Driver. (kinda looks like a giant screwdriver tho :lol it's a really a defensive weapon, a gigantic orange-black screwdriver-like weapon which is able to create a temporary subspace field during battle. This enables GGG to fight without worrying about innocent bystanders.

Very nice . Just to add, the reason Galeon and Gaigar are different characters is because Gaigar is actually Shishioh Gai (the cyborg) taking control of Galeon like how Katori takes control of the Fire jet or in the case of TFs how the Masterforce humans take control of their Transtectors.
Also the korean sonokong stuff generally have the same quality build as the japanese version but from what I can see, their paint and sticker quality are far worse. Shadow Dagwon has crummy yellow paint and Super Guardion... I'll get onto that when I review it. In the mean while, I'll post my Fighbird and Battle Bomber reviews: Fighbird: Brave of the Sun Fighbird is the second Brave series. Its prececessor had a galactic police force protecting earth by merging with ordinary earth vehicles. This time all the vehicles have a 'rescue' theme. Figbird is the leader of the Galactic Guard who may be related to the Kaisers. Fighbird merges himself with an android that Professor Amano had built and interacts with the Amano family. The box has nice but basic art on the front. It should be noted that this is the reissue which uses different box art than the original vintage box. The Fire Jet, Flame Breaster and small figure of Katori Yutaro (His second name means fire bird) in android form. The Fire jet is the first vehicle used by Katori. It is launched from the lab whenever Katori needs to perform rescue missions and go places. It is a nice jet vehicle. Theres flip out wheels underneath for this mode. The cannons on the back can move up and down and the white 'blocks' can open to reveal a pack of six missiles each (not useable) and a black cannon can be revealed by moving the switch on the side. The second jet in this set. This is not used by Katori. And is seen nearing the end of the episode in the stock footage when Katori calls it. The cannons can move up and down. Its not really that convincing and is primarily there for the robot mode. The Flame breaster can attach to the Fire Jet to form Busou (Armed) Mode. The weapons are all the same when in this mode. Katori Yutaro is the main character in this series. He is a space police who came down to earth and possessed a android created by a nutty professor who wants to protect the world from a being know as Draias. Normally Katori looks like any average joe human but when he calls the Fire Jet he returns to his android state. Katori can ride inside the Fire Jet in the cockpit. When it comes time to fight the baddie of the week Katori transforms into a block. The block Katori becomes is housed in the robot's chest. This form is refered to as Fighbird. He has a rod as his weapon in this state (As far as I can tell in the Brave Saga game) but the toy does not include it. He has minimal articulation (two in each arm and you can sort of count the hips). His hands dont lock in and they often like to retract. The signature weapon of Fighbird his stored in the nose of the jet behind Fighbird's head. Its kind of loose though. When Fighbird isnt enough to finish off the baddie of the week (which is quite often) then Katori calls the Flame Breaster into action. It becomes the chest piece of Fighbird and adds a new helmet. This is refered to as Busou (Armed) Fighbird. As Fighbird he has access to all of the jet's weaponry. Size comparison between Busou Fighbird and Great Exkaiser (Fighbird's huge!) And that finishes off another of my reviews . Take care guys.

Had to split them up because you can only post 20 images per post.
Battle Bomber: The 'Bombers' as they are called in the show are quite special compared to other braves. They are quadruple changers. They transform from train to animal to robot and then to the combined robot's parts (Liobomber transforms two ways for the chest. Does that make him a five changer?). A The vehicle mode was sacrificed for this feature. Originally the Bombers consisted of three members. Lio Bomber (Green), Dino Bomber (Grey) and Bird Bomber (Red). They can combine into Tri Bomber. They were badly damaged in the battle against Ace no Joe and were put out of commision for a while. Horn Bomber was brought into service to fill in for them. Once the original Bombers were repaired, Horn Bomber is added to their combination to form Battle Bomber. This is the Bombers in train mode. Only Lio Bomber and Horn Bomber really LOOK like the trains. There is too much kibble on Dino and Bird Bomber (Who share similar transformations into combine mode and robot mode so they have the same kibble). Also all oif them have unsightly gaps and animal kibble showing here and there but its really a limitation of making quadurple changers. The main feature of the Bombers is the animal mode. These are probably their best modes. Theres not really any articulation here. Dino Bomber has a bit of leg movement and arm movement. Bird Bomber can flap its wings and also close them. Lio can look forward or down. Horn Bomber has NO articulation whatsoever. Pretty nice but Horn Bomber is inferior to the other Bombers. Their robot modes look very similar to nearl ever other train-former. Sadly Dino Bird and Horn Bombers do not have perfect transformations to this stage. For Dino and Bird Bombers you need to detach the front of the train and move the parts that become Tribomber's hips to the back of the train and then reattach them into a different socket. For Horn Bomber you need to detach the front of the train AND the Rhino head with it and the front oof the train goes onto the bottom of the train and the Rhino head needs to be reverse for the Horn Bomber's robot face. Kind of disappointing but thats another problem with quadruple changers. Horn Bomber is the only one without a melee weapon but he comes with a shield... The Bombers can make the Animal Express which is just all the animal parts flip forward and Lio Bomber's Lion head flipped out. This is used I'm assuming for the 'Joint Dragon Fire' Special in the show. His appearance in TriBomber mode looks a lot like Liner Dagwon. But with more kibble. He has shoulder articulation and thats it. His head is sunk in a bit so head-on shots show very little of his head. Its a good and stable form. Once Horn Bomber is added to the mix he becomes a slightly different look robot. He now has the lion head on his chest and a added chest plate. He has also gained wings and a cannon (Not unlike Super Liner Dagwon). His Rhino head is very similar to the head designs for the Braves from the next series Goldran. Its different enough in this robot mode. At least it doesnt just add a pair of boots and get it over with. Overall its a nice set with its short comings. It is my belief that the Super Liner Dagwon set was based on this but with better tech so the vehicle modes look more 'complete'.

Thanks riz. I also added quick links to the reviews so in future if this goes onto more pages it'll be quicker to find the reviews. I tried to make the links blue to stand out but to no avail .

Nice pics! I love drooling over these toys. If I didn't already collect several lines already, I'd be all over these.
Good stuff!

Ok. I'm gonna review Super Guardion now.
Super Guardion is the second (and last) support team to appear. And even then the team was not complete until Draias shows his ugly face and Fighbird requests for back-up. This set has sentimental value for me since I had Guard Star and Guard Wing when I was younger but could never complete the set. Guard Star is the leader of the Guard Team. I dont know if you can see but the blue paint on the hood is not the same colour as the blue plastic. The stickers also differ in colour and are inferior to the japanese release. The part that flips up on the star symbol doesnt depress properly making the vehicle not as flush. All of the Guard team apart from Guard Wing have 'back packs' that can be mounted on both robot and vehicle modes. This gives it a slightly more armed look. Guard Rescue is the one most calm in dangerous situations. It should be pretty apparent what is wrong with Guard Rescue. Theres two different shades of blue on Guard Rescue's wing shield (unfortunately not quite as apparent in these pics). It can also mount a back pack but on its side instead. Guard Fire is the hot head of the team and is easy to agitate. The back of him is pretty hollow. With only the side shields covering it. Its also got diecast metal construction on the hinge at the back. Back pack deployed. Last but not least, Guard Wing. His first appearance is when he saves the other space police from being sacrificed to a 'dark god' by Draias. He's got a annoying personality wherein he thinks his the best and looks down upon the other members. His vehicle is a 'we need it for the combination' vehicle so as a plane, its not very convincing. All team members. Guard Star in robot mode. His head is really small compared to his body. He has minimal articulation. He has elbow articulation and hip articulation (to the side). You might also count his knees (for the combination) but he cant stand with his knees up. The paint on his head is abysmal. It bleeds onto his face! Armed Mode. Its sort of like Fighbird's helmet upgrade. The gun on his backpack can be taken off as a weapon of sorts.The orange of his visor is a bit on the thin side. Guard Rescue's robot mode is my favourite robot mode. I have no idea why. It has a head sculpt like the Ryu brothers. He has ok articulation. He has hips, shoulder and elbows. His Armed mode head looks a bit like Ratchet's (with a visor). Special note. Guard Rescue's armed mode makes a cameo appearance in Might Gaine as a hologram in a training sim that Might Gunner goes through. This one has a mouth plate though. Guard Fire has the most restricted robot mode. He cant split his legs apart and he has no elbow articulation. He is also the only one not able to wield his back-pack's guns. Guard Wing has no armed mode (he already has a visor so I guess he's already in armed mode?). He has a gun that looks like a gun. He's also got the same articulation as Guard Rescue. Guard Team in robot mode. This is Guardion. Guard Rescue becomes the legs, Guard Fire becomes the arms and hip and Guard Star becomes the chest and head. Its a nice looking mode. No obvious kibble. The korean version doesnt paint his neck silver (no big loss). Technically the only weapons Guardion has are his vulcan guns on his chest (and the ladders on his shoulders which pierce straight through the enemies. They arent deployable in the toy because he has no shoulder articulation ). But since their back packs are lying there unused... This is Super Guardion. When all of Guard Team combines. His weapon is the gun Guard Wing has but its now like really small. Its a good change from Guardion with the addition of chest armour, leg armour, wings and change of head. But the korean version paints his head black! Why did they do that? The box art even has it blue. Well aside from the korean manufacturer's changes its a good toy. Highly recommended (especially if its the japanese version).

Wow finally get to see a detail review of Fighbird's Guard team. keep it up Roan.
True like what you said aeons ago, the original version looks so much better than the ko version that i have. the plastic is much more deeper red in color (rather than the somewhat pinkish tones on the ko).
