Build Braver

Build Braver (Full name Build Braver Komatsu Hydraulic Excavator PC200) is one of the basic figures in the Jobraver line. In this case, the Jobroid combines with a Komatsu Hydraulic Excavator PC200 to form Build Braver!

This is Construction Jobraver BULL. He forms the core of Build Braver. He comes assembled but you have to put about 6 stickers on him.

Here’s the Komatsu Hydraulic Excavator PC200. It has rolling wheels and an articulated crane arm. It can rotate and bend in two places.

To assemble the robot, separate the treads from the cab of the excavator. Fold up the Jobroid and snap him into the underside of the cab where the spring loaded action reveals the head and arms. Plug in the legs that were the treads and Build Braver is ready to go.

Robot mode has some good articulation, but it’s missing some obvious points like a waist or neck joint.

Not bad for the equivalent of $15 US. Compare this to a similarly sized Transformer that retails for $25 these days.
