| This article is about the cancelled toyline. For the eponymous... technology? process?, see Bravemaster. |
New Transformers: Bravemasters (新トランスプフォーマー ブレイブマスターズ) was an unrealised proposal for an e-HOBBY exclusive toyline. Revealed by Hayato Sakamoto at BotCon 2015 (alongside Prime: Shattered Glass and Part One), the line was ultimately passed over in the concept phase in favor of Transformers Cloud.
Bravemasters was intended to have a broad appeal: its simple story was to be ideal for Transformers newcomers, its previously-unexplored time period in the Japanese Generation 1 continuity would be for the veterans, and its aesthetic would appeal to fans of the 1990s Brave franchise.[1]
Fiction
[edit]
Bravemasters' accompanying fiction would have been set in 2014, after the Transformers left Earth at the conclusion of The Headmasters, but before the events of Super-God Masterforce. A new Decepticon army, led by Master Hell (a tentative name), attacks the planet. A lone Autobot named Brave, left behind as a carnival automaton in Japan, joins forces with a sick human boy, and together they become the first line of defence for his new home.
Ask Vector Prime would later name-check the concept of a Bravemaster—whatever that is.
Toys
[edit]Extrapolating from concept artwork, the Bravemasters toyline may have included the following:
Autobots
|
Decepticons
|
 |
Given that the other two conceptual lines, along with the eventual Transformers Cloud, each featured a lineup of eight characters, it is entirely possible that the latter three Decepticons were merely repurposed from their retail toys, and were not due for release in Bravemasters. Cloud fleshed out its fictional roster by recycling many contemporary toys from Generations, among other sources.
