After reviewing the Golden Braves I thought it right to move onto the Silver Knights.

The Silver Knights are the basic support combiner of the series. They are revived after Advenger. Like all of Goldran there is a theme running. Each member is a european style warrior of some sort.

Jet Silver is the first of the Silver Knights to be revived. His alternate form is that of a jet as the name implies. Like Dran and Leon, the Silver Knights are all chromed up so they dont make very good disguises. More So because of the jet alt mode. Jet Silver's jet mode is slightly more realistic looking than Leon's though.



You can add his shield to the vehicle mode but that bulks it up too much. I doubt its aero dynamic with that thing on its back.



Jet Silver's robot mode is very knight like in appearance. Indeed in the show his poses give off a very british knight feel (anime over the top of course). He comes with his jet Spear and Jet Shield. He has two points of articulation in each arm. He can fire the Jet Chaser from his shield as well.



Next up is Star Silver, the second Silver Knight to be awakened. I think he's supposed to be a police car? Its nice but unlike Jet Silver he needs his shield to be attached or theres nothing at the rear. Just Silverion's head.



His robot mode is inspired by roman sentries. Very different than the usual Knights or samurais littering the anime scene. His weapons are the Star Sword and Star Shield which can fire small discs.



He has two articulation on each arm, and four articulation on each leg allowing him to pull off some fancy poses like this.



Drill Silver is the third to be awakened. He is the brute of the team so his alternate mode is a drill tank. He has gattling guns that can move up and down (they're his arms). Abit awkward and again his shield is neccessary as it is his cockpit in this mode.



He looks to be inspired by vikings. And suitingly his weapon is the Drill Axe and just for kicks the Drill Shield. He has only two points of ariculation (one in each arm).



The last to be awaken is Fire Silver. He takes the form of an ambulance. A very solid mode and I guess silver is close to white .



Truth be told, I'm not really sure what Fire Silver's robot mode was inspired by. But he looks pretty badass with those huge wings and his head sculpt is great (unfortunately washed out by the flash). His main weapon is the Fire Bow Gun. He has only three articulation (one on each arm again) and the head. Amazingly he has no character conficts with other members of the team. (Sorakage is the one that causes problems initially).







"Silver Gattai! Silverion!" (Silver Union! Silverion)
When Jet Silver, Star Silver and Drill Silver combine they form Silverion. They have a very proportionate combined form. How his arms are jointed are a bit on the wierd side though. The drills on his knee are later reused for Gaogaigar. His legs are jointed a bit strangely. This jointing allows for him to split his legs apart and to form a v-shape but it also makes it easy for it to fall off.



The Silver Knight's weapon and shields combine to form the Tri Lancer and Tri Shield. Very appropriate weapons for a knight.



"Chou Silver Gattai! God Silverion!" (Super Silver Union! God Silverion)
Once Fire Silver is added to the mix God Silverion is born! He has bigger shoulder pads and bigger feet. Making him look even better than before! He also has small wing things on his back. Another break in the norm is that God Silverion is not formed when the others are in danger as per Anime rule but instead the kids figure out that their names are similar so they ask the four Silver Knights to combine (frustrating Walter when he finds out).



Sadly his weapons are the same but the Tri Lancer is now called the Burning Tri Lancer. I guess it sets a light in the anime.



With Great Goldran.



God Silverion is the first Brave I bought from Toyarena. (Though I first owned Guard Star and Guard Wing). Its still one of my personal recommendations. Its a great set and Star Silver has great articulation for its day though thats because of the combination .
