Not sure if this is the right section..

I found this transformer, it looks to be divided into 3 parts but you can combine all 3 to make one figure. bought at goodwill yesterday for 10 bucks


I don't know anything about old transformers figures so any information on it at all would be very appreciated
I have tried looking it up for hours on a few different ID unknown transformer websites but I cannot find this figure anywhere :/

HAH! I have that one! That's not a Transformer, but it is related.

What you have is a Knockoff of God Max from Brave Exkizer. The jet is called Jet Max, the car is Dash Max, and the drill tank is called Drill Max (such imaginative names are common through the Brave series). Here's the original:

God Max on BraveDX.

The Brave or Yuusha series can be considered a cousin to Transformers, as it used some Transformers designs for its lines. The series was started in 1990 when Transformers was dying down back in Japan, and was in need of a replacement. The basic concept is roughly the same, living robots as aliens, spirits, or even human-built, but transformation and combination is a hallmark. The leaders of the series even combined twice!

oh wow thank you very much!

im guessing this is a rare toy? but probably not worth that much?

any idea on price ? been looking around cant find any for sale or sold

I'd say he's middle of the range. He's common enough, it's the third or fourth time I've seen it, including mine and it's been released multiple times, plus it's a good quality (which means "better than the average KO"). What may hurt or help is its pedigree: not many may know or care about its origin, but those that do may want to snap it up if the price is right. I'll let our more savvy visitors be the judge of that

What I should add is that of the 7 Brave series, Brave Exkizer was never reissued in South Korea, thus making toys of the line, including God Max, a bit harder to come by.

I've got that one as well, but with actual chrome instead of silver plastic. But just so you know these were released again in new colors (I can't remember what the colors were, sorry) at Family Dollar this past Christmas and might even still be there so they really aren't that rare.

Now that I gotta see... Any another figures of the same series, like trains or a Dino jet?

I think there were robot dinosaurs or dragons in the same style packaging, but they weren't anything I recognized. Family Dollar isn't a place I frequent since the most convenient one for me to get to closed a few years ago.

(EDIT)Oh, found some pics on TFW2005:

Huh, my closest one is just around the corner. I guess it's time to pay it a visit.

And that KO doesn't look that bad, but the blue legs stick out something fierce compared to the mostly color-coordinated upper body.
