Fiction

[edit]

Zone

[edit]
Voted "Most Likely to be Airbrushed onto the Side of a Van" Class of 1990

After Violengiguar attacked the Earth, stole the Zodiac and took Galaxy Rocket and all inside it hostage, the Powered Masters combined into Big Powered for the first time in order to give chase. Zone Part 10

Chasing Violengiguar to the Tenth Planet, the villain eventually revealed his true form: that of a hideous phoenix-monster. The Powered Masters combined into Big Powered yet again, but using the Zodiac as a power-up, increased their strength thirty-fold. Blasting Violengiguar with the "Rainbow Powered Attack", they destroyed the monster and used the power of the Zodiac to turn the once desolate Tenth Planet into a lush utopia. Zone Part 12

Released in the Zone portion of Takara's Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers toyline, the three individually-released Powered Masters could be combined into this single enormous jet-ish thing. Big Powered retains the use of Dai Atlas's motorized movement gimmick.


  • ID number: C-353
  • Accessories: "Vulcan Shot" rifle, gun (Dai Atlas), drill, runners/skids, gun platform, dual cannon, 2 wings (left & right), tail fin, 2 large ramps (left and right) 2 ramps, 2 radar dishes, pipe, "Burst cannon", container/launcher

This huge giftset contained all three Powered Masters necessary to form Big Powered along with their Micromaster partners Sonic, Speeder and Drillbuster. Each toy was identical to its individual release.
This set is particularly expensive on the secondary market today, being pretty late-run (thanks to Roadfire's late release) at a time when Transformers had already seriously started to wane in sales and popularity.


Legends

Big Surprised!
  • Bigpowered [sic] (Multi-pack, 2019)
  • ID number: LG-EX
  • Release date: March 30 2019
  • Accessories: Rifle, Cannon, left & right wings, Turret-cannon, Headmaster units
  • Known designers: Hisashi Yuki (TakaraTomy){{#if: |, {{{2}}}}}
Legends Big Powered is a set consisting of retools of Titans Return Twin Twist as Roadfire, Sky Shadow as Dai Atlas, and Misfire as Sonic Bomber.
A new comic-based form, Ultra Powered, can be formed by adding the Legends incarnations of Roadfire's Jumpstarter mold-mates Twin Twist and Topspin on the behemoth's sides.


Merchandise

[edit]

Transformers Gum

[edit]
Part of the sixth wave of Kabaya's revived Transformers Gum Series, the individual releases of Dai Atlas, Sonic Bomber, and Roadfire are snap-together model kits reproducing all of their original modes. Thus, the three kits can combine to form Big Powered.



  • Big Powered (2016)
The Dai Atlas, Sonic Bomber, and Roadfire kits were re-released as a bundle under the DX Gattai label in 2016. They feature changes to plastic color compared to their initial separate releases, and foil stickers.
As with other DX Gattai toys featuring box art in homage to their original figures, God Ginrai's packaging mimics that of the original 1990 Big Powered gift set.

Notes

[edit]
  • Zone toy designer Motoki Takaya notes that Big Powered's name reflects not only the obvious Powered Master connection but an homage to an earlier toy in the pre-Transformer Diaclone toyline, reflecting the older line's strong influence on Zone with play patterns like playset modes and motorized gimmicks.<ref>"当初はソニックボン バーとダイアトラスの2体だ けの予定でしたが、開発途中 で「もう1体を追加、3体を 合体させて巨大ジェットにす 「る」という方針変更があり ました。この大型ジェットの名 前は「ビッグパワード」で巨大 なパワードマスターという意 味と、ダイアクロンのアイテム 名のダブルミーニングでした。" - TakaraTomy designer Motoki Takaya in an interview on Transformers: Zone in Takara SF Land Evolution, p 90</ref>
    • Like this incarnation, the original Big Powered consists of three vehicles, although they formed a robot instead of a combined vehicle.
