	: Released in the ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#Victory\|Victory]]'' portion of Takara's ''Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers'' toyline, Brainmaster Braver transforms into a Ferrari F40 sports car. His transformation is notably simplistic for his size, as a consequence of the Brainmaster gimmick which dominates his torso. Placing the small "Brain of Intelligence" figure into the open chest cavity and then closing the plate pushes the inner core of the small robot up, forming the larger robot's face. As with the other Brainmasters, the Brain of Intelligence is designed to look like a miniature version of Braver's larger [[robot mode]]. While in [[alternate mode\|vehicle mode]], the Brain of Intelligence rides in his hinged cockpit.		: Released in the ''[[Fight!

	'''Braver''' (ブレイバー ''Bureibā'') is the brains of his team—and when his team is named the [[Brainmaster]]s, that's really saying something. Braver loves to tinker and create, being something of a mad scientist, but his childlike charm and creativity are tempered with the good sense to work on a small scale and not to turn on his creations until the kinks are worked out, leaving him a little less prone to self-injury than [[Wheeljack (G1)\|certain other scientists]]. And just because he's a brain doesn't mean Braver is lacking as a warrior—he is an accomplished fighter, capable of holding his own against two or three opponents at a time and employing complicated strategies and manoeuvres on the battlefield with ease.		'''Braver''' (ブレイバー ''Bureibā'') is the brains of his team—and when his team is named the [[Brainmaster]]s, that's really saying something. Braver loves to tinker and create, being something of a mad scientist, but his childlike charm and creativity are tempered with the good sense to work on a small scale and not to turn on his creations until the kinks are worked out, leaving him a little less prone to self-injury than [[Wheeljack (G1)\|certain other scientists]].

They were saved from a particularly heinous battle by [[Greatshot]]. Star Saber explained to the Brainmasters that Greatshot was the former [[Six Clan]] ninja [[Sixshot (G1)\|Sixshot]], now reformed, and he helped them destroy the Concurrence's space station base. {{storylink\|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. EX (Greatshot)\|Bonus Edition Greatshot}}		In the year [[2022]], Braver and the Brainmasters fought the human-run terrorist group known as the [[Concurrence]], and their legion of [[Viper]] drones.

	: Released in the ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)#~~1989 (~~Victory)\|Victory]]'' portion of Takara's ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers ~~(toyline)\|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers]]~~'' toyline, Brainmaster Braver transforms into a Ferrari F40 sports car. His transformation is notably simplistic for his size, as a consequence of the Brainmaster gimmick which dominates his torso. Placing the small "Brain of Intelligence" figure into the open chest cavity and then closing the plate pushes the inner core of the small robot up, forming the larger robot's face. As with the other Brainmasters, the Brain of Intelligence is designed to look like a miniature version of Braver's larger [[robot mode]]. While in [[alternate mode\|vehicle mode]], the Brain of Intelligence rides in his hinged cockpit.		: Released in the ''[[Fight!

	: Braver is equipped with a decent selection of weapons, including a sword, a chunky blaster, and a shield with additional built in gun barrels that can be mounted on his arm. When Braver is in vehicle mode, his shield and blaster combine to form an elaborate weapons array that mounts on his roof. Braver also combines with Laster and Blacker (sold separately) to form Road Caesar, forming the left leg of the super robot. His weapons form integral parts of Road Caesar; his blaster transforms into the right fist, his shield unfolds into a large shin-guard-esque plate that forms the front of his left leg, with the foot attached, and his sword combines with those of his teammates to create a large blade for Road Caesar to wield.		: Braver is equipped with a decent selection of weapons, including a sword, a chunky blaster, and a shield with additional built in gun barrels that can be mounted on his arm.

	*Braver's Brainmaster figure has for years been (and continues to be) incorrectly referred to by fans with the names "Chie" and "Siet", mistakenly derived from Japanese words meaning "intelligence". In truth, like all Brainmaster units, it does not have a proper name, but is known simply by the title used in this article, the "Brain of Intelligence".		*Braver's Brainmaster figure has for years been (and continues to be) incorrectly referred to by fans with the names "Chie" and "Siet", mistakenly derived from Japanese words meaning "intelligence".
