Brainmaster


 * The Brainmasters are an Autobot subgroup.

The Brainmasters (ブレインマスター Bureinmasutā) are the elite members of the Galactic Defense Force Sector One troops. Brainmaster technology was created as a means of transferring the consciousness of a full-size Cybertronian to a Micromaster-scale Transtector. These tiny Transtectors, each known as a "Brain" or a "Brain Robo", link to their larger bodies by entering 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.

As an unexpected side-effect of the brainwave-duplication process, Brainmasters gained "Brain Power" (Burein Kinō): an incredible boost to their courage, strength, intelligence and skill that makes them "one of the most powerful warriors in the universe". 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)

The Brainmaster upgrade was developed as a way to bring Cybertron and its allies closer together. The process was discovered to amplify its users' mental faculties, and the Galactic Defense Force soldiers who utilized it became the galaxy's mightiest soldiers. When the Decepticons learnt of the process, they tried to take it for their own, forcing the Autobots to destroy the labs that spawned the process. No one proved able to duplicate the process afterwards.
