It's from one of the Brave series.
The Thomas version is far superior.
aside from being a crummy quality knockoff but it’s the thought that counts

I actually have the Loco Squad version that the Thomas version was made from, and it's a decent quality knockoff instead of a crummy quality one.
Well that's a wild unbidden flashback. I remember seeing this exact packaging with strange clarity.
I got mine from the gift shop at the Florida Railroad Museum about a year ago. They had two sets on the shelf.
For yours? Had to look it up, but the one you have is Liner Dagwon from Brave Command Dagwon.
For its components,
- The blue-striped white bullet train with the dragster wheels is Turbo Liner, and transforms into the robot DagTurbo. It is controlled by Kai Hirose, who has a strict, no-nonsense personality, is head of the student council at his school, and is a practitioner of kendo.
- The blue and white bullet train with the green stripe and the missile pod is Armor Liner, and transforms into the robot DagArmor. It is controlled by Shin Sawamura, who is friendly, good-natured, has some martial arts skills, but also has terrible luck with girls constantly rejecting him.
- The silver bullet train with the wings is Wing Liner, and transforms into the robot DagWing. It is controlled by Yoku Kazamatsuri, who is shy, brainy, a computer whiz, and likes to study strange and unusual things.
Honestly I find sticking Autobot or Decepticon stickers on toys from other mecha franchises because of some need to have them be 'Transformers' kind of silly as a mecha fan but y'all do you I guess.
I mean... that's entirely the origin of the franchise... So...
That was 40 years ago and the franchise has long since moved on past that after the first few years.
Considering Brave started out by repurposing Transformers designs, what's the harm in repurposing Brave toys as Autobots or Decepticons?
I happen to love repurposing other figures and transformable robots as Transformers. For me, it's not a "need" per se, just a want. Like, I have this thing on preorder:

I'm well aware of the fact that it isn't a Transformer. But if you think for a second that I am not going to find some spot on it to add an Autobot logo, then I don't know what to tell you. 'Cause I'm gonna.

Ok, those carrot thrusters are fantastic!
I'm wanting the squirrel version, myself. We've befriended numerous squirrels in our backyard starting during the covid lockdown, so we've become a crazy squirrel household.
A very fair and valid point but I do it because head cannon lore is fun Autobot recruitment drives are funny and I have plans as soon as I have timeHonestly I find sticking Autobot or Decepticon stickers on toys from other mecha franchises because of some need to have them be 'Transformers' kind of silly as a mecha fan but y'all do you I guess.
Plus that was very naked spot screaming for it
