Ive been searching all over fot this. We had these when we were kids and i didnt know its name. We seem to have a bootleg version though since its differently colored but plastic quality is quite good. I also like our bootleg colors more than the original. The sports car is white, instead of red and every robot are monochrome. And for some reason it comes with a chrome sword, no trailer, no individual small weapons and the back shoulder mounted cannons are handheld dual wield guns. It looks so awesome in combined form. The combining mechanism is phenomenal. Thank god i finally found it.
Currently rewatching the series and there is a reason for the Drill Tank. It was a prototype mining machine being delivered to a Mining expedition in Australia.
Vehicles: Plastic shit. Individual robots: Plastic shit. Transformation and playability of team members: Meh. Combined mode: SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY! Seriously. The way these toys combine, I didn't saw it coming. Especially for the truck. The big guy usually become the torso. But here, he become the _legs_. And that combined robot is PURE SEX!
Man, this review started out like you were negging on this set of figures, then turned everything around and literally demonstrated how the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Good job.
How nostalgic!!!!!!!! I remember playing with the Land Bison while I was watching Da garn anime which I rent from a video store nearby. Ah good old days!
I believe that that specific manner of "drill tank" (the one with two drills at the front) is used as an homage to GaoGaiGar which used such a tank prominently as the legs of a combined mecha. I could be wrong- there might be an even older common source, but I'm pretty sure it's something that was in one classic series and then referenced/stolen in a bunch of other stuff.
Oh man. I love this review. I actually have this guy, got it when I was allot younger and I never knew where it was from (until recently). Though mine is in a bad shape somewhat (missing wheels, broken parts etc) I still love the guy.
Great review! I absolutely love Land Bison :D Mine has the same QC issues though. Horrible stickers and my Mach Lander has a gimp arm as well. Looks like a widespread QC issue at the time, my Sonokong Da-garn X Stickers are even worse!
Plastic Material on the Takara version is very good quality...same sticker issues on mine, but I guess it was the sticker quality produced during that time....very close to the Transformation on the series...Lander 4 is actually greenish in color on the actual toy, but on photos and videos it turns blue....It's a great vintage toy specially when it transforms into Land Bison.
I have had sticker problem with some transformer encore robots, but i realized i need to wash them with alcohol to remove the greasy surface they had before applying the stickers to make them stick. By the way the drilltank looks as a tunnel drill construction vehicle or some type of mining vehicle.
I like how Seven Changer was kickn their butt. He was badass in d cartoon though. Turbo looks like Transformers Cybertron Clocker/Swerve KO. Seems like only good part in this toy is when u combine them together
Hmm if this is the official version i must have gotten the knock off version 25 years ago, it came with all stickers (still on them) and the limbs werent as lose as the ones in this review.
I played this thing to near death as a kid. sadly I got an anger tantrum and trew some of the robots arround and yeah they kinda still function drill no longer got his arms. Mach is missing a hand. uhm the red one you need to pop his head off to flip it. his arms are also loose as hell. I lost all the guns. they allmost got all of their stickers. still got the ramp shield but because of how much I played witth them because they are basicly my fave child hood toys. he can no longer hold it properly for either an arm will fall off because of its weight. or the fist will slide back in. so it stays on the trailer and the trail I kinda need to suport its combined form since missing a fist on mach prevents it from rather securing a good connection making the top fall off rather easely. But I still got them proud on display with some megazords. Realy he is one of the oldest toys from my child hood. and I still love it.
Japan just really Likes Drill Tanks hell I would like to Have one.XD & You were right on the Money the Drill Lander it's almost an Updater Version of Twin Twist from G1 Transformers.
oh god! I actually HAVE that Formula 1 car robot, i got it from a dollar store when i was like...still in gradeschool and had NOidea until now it was a knock off from the brave series haha
I love the combined mode but not the indervidual robots the ttuck has a huge belly and the drill looks stupid if i do buy it i will only display it as Land Bison

Gaogaigar was after dagarn
You gotta admit that the drills make nice shoulders. :P I just got this today, and the stickers stayed on just fine. ^^
I especially love how the semi truck turns into the legs :3

If all the states had to compete in a giant robot battle royale, this would represent Texas. He just fits the feel we have down here
Wow, the combined transformation was much more complex than anticipated
Dude, it should be clear due to the Brave Series, Gravion, and of course Gurren Lagann, the Japanese love drills.
@CinemaEpic There is a very similar Transformer named Twin Twist, are you sure you didn't have him?
To be frank the individual robots of the G1 combiners also kinda sucked.
Drill tanks are awesome.
i want this now. what series thing is it from?
r u talkin bout menasor cuz i think it represents him a lil

I am missing the big lander and drill lander currently....
although mine is a Taiwan KO, it was night and day during my childhood!
Does this guy fit in well with g1 guys like Ultra Magnus, Optimus and Rodimus?
it's almost reminds me of a Power Ranger Megazord when it's fully combined specifically the ones from RPM
I had a KO of Mach Lander when I was a kid. I won it from Chucky-Cheese.
I have had sticker problem with some transformer encore robots, but i realized i need to wash them with alcohol to remove the greasy surface they had before applying the stickers to make them stick.

I am a korean and I really agree about the stickers ... just ... it's better when you use a glue to stick the sticker
the end product looks so much better than the individual peices
thats from korea i had one of these when i was little ! good to see it again
Does anyone think that these guys would make better autobots or deceptions?
Drill Lander =Fore runner of the Drill tanks in*takes deep breath*GOOAA-GAAII-GAAAAAAAR
I like how Seven Changer was kickn their butt. He was badass in d cartoon though. Turbo looks like Transformers Cybertron Clocker/Swerve KO. Seems like only good part in this toy is when u combine them together
where can I get this toy?
Try ebay
gald you think so.
Review super build tiger, guard diver and god silverion
@tjmedina718 I am wondering the same thing after watching this review. The stickers were an issue on my other Brave figure also.
mmm motormaster, dragstrip cw, then hotrod and topspin tr, just get a 5th member and you can recreate this set XD
...Twin Twist?
How big is Land Bison compared to his pal Sky Sabre
the plastic looks so cheap... is it good quality at all?
great review
I mean… drill tanks are cool
So, why do Japanese anime feature a lot of drill tanks?
Anyone have a idea where I can get this set.
Ebay
@@jonathancoco8169 Haven't found anything yet
@@ryanwike2780 Try sirtoys. If not, than I guess trying to found one on a yard sale because there's no other website that have this in stock.
Need more Brave reviews ^o^
Hmm if this is the official version i must have gotten the knock off version 25 years ago, it came with all stickers (still on them) and the limbs werent as lose as the ones in this review.
I was about to make the comment "What is with all the drill tanks?" before you make your comment about it.
I played this thing to near death as a kid. sadly I got an anger tantrum and trew some of the robots arround and yeah they kinda still function
drill no longer got his arms.
Mach is missing a hand.
uhm the red one you need to pop his head off to flip it. his arms are also loose as hell.
I lost all the guns.
they allmost got all of their stickers.
still got the ramp shield but because of how much I played witth them because they are basicly my fave child hood toys.

& You were right on the Money the Drill Lander it's almost an Updater Version of Twin Twist from G1 Transformers.
The drill tank's cockpit is misaligned.
The impossibility of that car won't stop some guy with a tiny prick from trying to make it.
yep they love Gurren Lagann look at yu-gi-oh 5d's drill warrior
This guy in like Engine-Oh but with an out-of-place drill tank
I was kind of hoping it'd transform into an actual bison, with the drills as the horns.
thats what i tough whene i heard of this toy
@UnderlordZ yes explain
oh god! I actually HAVE that Formula 1 car robot, i got it from a dollar store when i was like...still in gradeschool and had NOidea until now it was a knock off from the brave series haha
what do you expect from a product like 10 years and longer ago? -.-
the drill looks like Twintwist.
the race car reminds me of g1 dragstrip
10:02 the feet become the waist!?! that is just mind boggling!
Definite “Wait, what?” moment.
the red one's combine form reminds me of rpm eagle racer zord of power rangers rpm megazord
Symbiote Origins I was thinking something very similar yeah dude you're definitely right
I love the combined mode but not the indervidual robots the ttuck has a huge belly and the drill looks stupid if i do buy it i will only display it as Land Bison
Please baltmatrix?;)
It reminds me of a mix of light speed (omega) and wild force mega zords (main)
notices how he says BIG lander
So individualy bad, together their exellent. :D Great review.
His attacking the drill tank
AWESOME!!!!!!
he sounds like jangbricks
3:42 its hot rod! lol
big lander needs to lay off those octane tacos.
i bought a cheapo version of the yellow 1 at the 2 dollar store
turbo lander reminds me of hot rod
like Tomica Hero Rescue Force and Tomica Hero Rescue Fire.
GOU GOU Drill = Drill tank
wow...i want those figures lol
Great toy.
wow this guy actualy goes togeather nicely not like the cheap crap there coming out with in power rangers today ....
reminds me of ultra magnus.
Red guy looks like dotm leadfoot
maybe the Japanese might actually make a real drill tank. one could imagine the reaction China would have.
good
hes chrome dome lol 4:35
@sesshymaru Try eBay.
Very go onger esqu
No Go-onger was very Brave like. go-onger was 2009. brave Fighter Da-Garn was 1992

truth be told it looks good almost gobotish not really g1 to me. nice
you can 3d print Mach Lander now gumroad.com/l/MachLander
land bison would kick menasor's butt oh yeah i said it.
japanese toys seem to spoil teams by having 1 toy which dnt fit the theme, sports car, sport car, car carrying truck, millitary futuristic drill tank
They look like really bad go-botz
god dammit why doesn't anyone get the word gattai right!? All you need to do is replace the word hen in hentai with gat then you will get gattai!
hes chrome dome lol 4:35
8:55 hes a g1 optimis wannabe lol

The drill-tank is boring? Really, am I the only one who sees the horrible accidental pun there?
@AWZ117 Drill. Boring. It's what they do.
