BAH GAWD KANG!

When Victory Saber initiated the "Zone Project", the Battle Patrol Team helped rebuild planet Micro into planet Zone. To counter this threat, Violengiguar began conquering planets in order to create his own Decepticon Zone. The Race Car Patrol and all other Micromaster teams were then sent on patrol across the galaxy, specifically to planets where their unique skills could do the most good. Zone Part 1

When Bruticus attacked the planet Feminia, the Battle Patrol Team were among several units of Micromasters deployed to stop him. Through teamwork, they proved triumphant. Zone Part 2

During the attack of the Nine Great Demon Generals on the Planet Zone Base, Powerbomb could be seen firing his missiles at Abominus, who effortlessly fended them off with his shield, continuing his rampage. Despite Flak's effort, the Demon Generals succeeded in capturing the Energon Z energy source. As they retreated, Powerbomb and his comrades of the Battle Patrol Team boarded Moonradar’s rocket to pursue them to Earth. There, the Battle Patrol Team, among other Micromasters, faced off against Trypticon and Predaking, only to find themselves again at the receiving end of the beating. Luckily, Sonic Bomber and Dai Atlas arrived just in time and saved the day.

Later on, Powerbomb could be seen amongst the crowd cheering and applauding the newly appointed Autobot Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas. Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas! Transformers: Zone

When the Powered Masters flew off to the Tenth Planet for their showdown with Violengiguar, all the Micromaster teams took command of Zone and vowed to keep it safe in their Commander's absence. Zone Part 10

(We know that was originally a chokeslam, but who's counting?)
  • Battle Patrol Team (Micro Transformer Team, 1990)
  • ID number: C-332
Released in the Zone portion of Takara's Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers toyline, Powerbomb is a redeco of Flak, transforming into a self-propelled, artillery multiple rocket system similar to a TOS-1 Buratino. Early versions of the Team featured bright yellow plastic for some parts rather than dark gray, with Powerbomb's treads being the color-changed portion.
Powerbomb is gang-molded with his teammate Sunrunner, thus the two toys share the same plastic colors.
He was only available in a "Battle Patrol Team" four-pack with Sunrunner, Gunlift, and Sidetrack.


  • Battle Patrol Team (Micro Trailer Team, 1991)
  • ID number: C-374
  • Accessories: Micro Trailer #11
The Battle Patrol Team was re-released in the Return of Convoy series. This release is identical to the dark-gray colors version, but also came with Micro Trailer #11.

Notes

[edit]
  • Powerbomb's deco was used for the Siege Decepticon Cratermaker, himself a redeco of that line's version of Flak.
