This article is about the franchise that uses designs from Transformers. For the Car Robots character, see Emissary (RID).
Like Transformers, except every robot has a face plate, something long sticking out of its head, and a gold chest. And they look likeGundam.

Brave (勇者 Yūsha) is a non-Transformersfranchise that Takara and Sunrise created after the Generation 1 anime ran its course in Japan. The Brave Series consists of eight individual series that were released one after the other from 1990 to 1998 with corresponding TV shows in Japan. The last show in the series received a follow-up OVA beginning in 2000. Although none of the series storylines are connected to one another,[1] the basic format of each series is similar. Usually a kid befriends/creates/becomes a sentient robot, and together they fight a great evil threatening the Earth. The main robots combine with other vehicles and robots to become larger robots, and additional teams of sentient robots combine amongst themselves to form larger robots as well. This structure had been established in Victory and would be reproduced almost beat-for-beat in every Brave series. The Brave franchise has been described as a cross between Transformers and the Super Robot genre of the late '70s and early '80s.

The Brave series consisted of:

  • 1990: Brave Exkaiser
  • 1991: The Brave Fighter of Sun Fighbird
  • 1992: The Brave Fighter of Legend Da-Garn
  • 1993: The Brave Express Might Gaine
  • 1994: Brave Police J-Decker
  • 1995: The Brave of Gold Goldran
  • 1996: Brave Command Dagwon
    • 1997: Brave Command Dagwon - The Boy with Crystal Eyes
  • 1997: The King of Braves GaoGaiGar
    • 1999: The King of Braves GaoGaiGar FINAL
  • The Saint Of The Braves Baan Gaan (cancelled, later made into a video game.)

Toys for these robots were created in two sizes: DX ('deluxe') versions that contained more gimmicks and more complicated transformations, and STD ('standard') versions that contained fewer gimmicks and more limited transformations (often resorting to partsforming), but often also higher accuracy in reproducing the look of the robot from the anime series. Generally, the toys were created by Takara's Takashi Kunihiro and Sunrise's Kunio Okawara, doing engineering and design work respectively. The duo had already collaborated in the creation of Star Saber from the aforementioned Transformers Victory. The toys not engineered by Kunihiro are believed to be engineered by Hisashi Yuki.

Relationship to Transformers

The initial concept designs for Brave Exkaiser, the first Brave series, were intended to be Transformers designs. While the Brave robot Ultra Raker was very far along at this stage, the Max team and King Exkaiser bore little resemblance to their final designs.

The Brave toys also have design elements similar to Generation 2 and Beast Wars Transformers, which were released around the same time as the Brave toys. For example, many of the Brave of Legend toys have light-piped eyes thanks to transparent pieces of plastic in their heads, a design element which many Generation 2 Transformers share. The Goldran DX toyline contains many projectile launchers, something Generation 2 shared as well. In particular, the Goldran toy 'Advenger' contains a rotor-launching gimmick identical to that of the Rotor Force from Generation 2, and the 'Captain Shark' figure has a Gatling-gun style launcher, the same as Generation 2Dreadwing. Lastly, the elbows of Leon from DX Leonkyzer contain ball joints, a design element that gained much broader use during Generation 2 and even more so during the Beast Wars toyline. In addition, Might Gunner's shoulders have twin barreled cannons on them, in the same manner that Scorponok does, due to Kunio Okawara co-designing both characters.

And to think, Red Geist's toy doesn't even have any remolding.
The Brave Series also reused character designs and toys from previous Transformers series. It was not uncommon for the recycled designs to appear in a Brave TV show, but not in toy form. These designs were often significantly augmented to distinguish them from their Transformers counterparts. For example, the four Geister henchmen in Exkaiser use character models of four of the five Dinobots (minus Grimlock), but with all-new faces, body detail and color schemes. Of the designs that did appear in toy form, some of them were retooled to reflect these changes, whereas others were simple recolors. (A complete listing of the reuses follows in the section below.)

One striking difference between the Brave and Transformers toy lines is that very few villain robots were released in the Brave series. This is in sharp contrast to most of the Transformers series, in which heroes and villains are released in relatively equal numbers (with the exception of Zone and Return of Convoy). Generally speaking, the lack of villain toys is more the norm for such toylines in Japan, with the various Transformers lines (save for the aforementioned two) being the exception.

Despite the Brave series's reuse of many Transformers molds and character designs, Brave toys have never been reused in a Transformers toy line. This is likely because the characters that the toys represent are owned by Sunrise. That said, a Brave mold was finally reused in 2008, when Might Kaiser's trailer was modified and included in TakaraTomy's Tomica Hero: Rescue Force as part of the toy Zero Fire. Although Hasbro never released Brave toys in the West, they apparently did receive samples from Takara on at least one occasion.

Influence on Transformers

Similar to Brave being influenced by Transformers, subsequent Transformers lines have also been influenced by the Brave Series. The Japanese Mini-ConKingbolt's coloration and characterization are homages to the Brave series Exkaiser. The Cybertron cartoon featured many homages to the Brave series, most notably the way Optimus Prime combines with Leobreaker and Wing Saber, which is similar to the way GaoGaiGar combines with Goldymarg and Stealth Gao respectively. As well, Hot Shot's transformation scheme is almost identical to various car robots from the Brave series, those being Dran, Dag Fire, and Volfogg. The battle between Optimus Prime and Galvatron contains several visual references to the final showdown between Great Exkaiser and Dinogeist from the anime series Brave Exkaiser. The Animated characters Jetfire and Jetstorm are similar to Enryū and Hyōryū from GaoGaiGar, both with respect to their elemental motifs and method of combination. Animated also has a brief cameo appearance by Dagwon's Dag Base. Shattered GlassEsmeral's color scheme is based on Red Geist, a redeco of her Victory counterpart's husband. Brave Police J-Decker mecha Duke Fire and Shadowmaru inspired the Autobot drone Duke Fire and Decepticon Greatsix. Meanwhile, the human police superintendent Juzo Saejima also inspired the Generation 1 human Saejima.

Fiction

Ask Vector Prime

Vector Prime was asked whether or not Brave was a part of the Transformersmultiverse. Unfortunately, the Prime seemed to have misinterpreted the question. He did, however, express a fondness for the adventures of Princess Merida and Queen Elinor.

The events of the Brave anime were later established to take place in the Cymond Cluster, which bordered the Megaverse and only possessed a tangential connection to the goings-on elsewhere in the Transformers multiverse. Ask Vector Prime

Notes

Saikyō Yūsha Robo Gundan!
  • Transformers: Bravemasters was an unrealized proposal by Hayato Sakamoto. Art of it shown at BotCon 2015 revealed that it would have utilized several offscreen toys from the Movie-related toyline (such as Breacher, whose toy would have been used for the main character) and would have been strongly influenced by the Brave franchise.[3]

  1. ↑ There are some small connections between the series. For example, the reason Fighbird joined the Space Guards is that he admires Exkaiser. (This connection is stated in the Encyclopedia of Fighbird, published by Keibunsha.) Also, there are some small cameos of human characters between shows, and some character models, such as Draias and Guard Diver, are reused in subsequent series. Lastly, the Brave Saga video games retcon the storylines of the shows so that they link up.
