The Brainmasters are an Autobot subgroup from the Victory era of the Generation 1 continuity family.

And when ya need a fightin' bot ya'd trust to watch yer...uh, legs...

The Brainmasters are the elite members of the Galactic Defense Force Sector One troops. Similar in practise to Headmaster technology, their smallest robot forms (known as a "Brain" or a "Brain Robo") link up to larger bodies by boarding a chest cockpit, then moving up to take their place within the body's pre-existing helmet, forming the face and interior cerebral circuits of their large robot forms. Based on their name, their larger bodies are presumably Transtectors produced by the super-science of planet Master, though this is never explicitly stated.

Brainmaster Transtectors convey "Brain Power" upon their owners: an incredible boost to their courage, strength, intelligence and skill that makes them "one of the most powerful warriors in the universe", according to Holi. Each of the four Brainmasters exemplifies one of these talents, represented by the name of their Brain. The four Brainmasters are:

• Star Saber (Brain of Courage)
• Blacker (Brain of Strength)
• Laster (Brain of Skill)
• Braver (Brain of Intelligence)

"RTM1 dub name": Super-robots (talk about lack of imagination!)

Fiction

Cartoon continuity

Victory cartoon

Their brains is TINY.

The car Brainmasters serve in the Galactic Defense Forces Sector One Unit over seeing Earth while Star Saber served as Supreme Commander over all of the GDF from Planet V. Shortly after an attack by Desaurez on Earth, Star Saber joined the other Brainmasters there, replacing God Ginrai in command.

The Brainmasters served as the front line unit against the Decepticons while training the junior Autobots of the Multiforce and Rescue Patrol Team. For a long time they were the undisputed masters, defeating the talents of the Breastforce and laughing over the ease of defeating the Dinoforce. However, with the appearance of Liokaiser the Brainmasters were finally overmatched as the Decepticon Gestalt proved stronger than both Star Saber and the combined form of Road Caesar. However that wouldn't deter the elite warriors and all four Brainmasters strove to become stronger until they finally defeated their Decepticon foes.

Trivia

• For years, Transformers fans have referred (and continue to refer) to the Brainmaster components of Star Saber, Blacker, Braver and Laster as "Yūki", "Riki", "Chie" and "Waza", as if they were proper names. These are, in fact, simply the Japanese words meaning "courage," "strength", "intelligence" and "skill"; the Brains do not have proper names, and are simply known as "Brain of Courage", etc.
• Additionally, the Brains are also popularly but mistakenly known by a set of names that are the result of mangled versions of the Japanese word above: "Yukio", "Sala" (from "chikara", another Japanese word for "strength"), "Siet" and "Razou".
