Fiction

Masterpiece toy bios

[edit]

Powerdrive was the buggy partner to Primal Vanguard leader Delta Magnus until the latter's death in battle. To preserve morale, Autobot leaders took Delta's Magnus Armor and assigned others to wear it, to continue the illusion of a still-living great warrior. Wearers would die and then the armor would move on to a successor, till an upgraded and trained Powerdrive was chosen as the seventh. With the loss of the original armor, Powerdrive was integrated into the armor's remaining stock and became a single, integrated robot. He would go on to have a long and famed career as Delta Magnus.

  • ID number: C-11
  • Accessories: Energy Shotgun, Carly Witwicky driver figure
Included in a dedicated Transformers product for the first time ever, Missing Link "Cybertron Powerdrive" is a redeco of Deerstalker, directly based on the original Diaclone Powered Buggy. He transforms into a combat buggy that can seat the included Dianaut figure as well as fit atop Magnus's trailer in car carrier mode, and can also use Magnus's rifle as a weapon in both modes.
Powerdrive's transformation has been reworked from the original Diaclone figure to no longer require partforming.

Notes

[edit]
  • Powerdrive's design originated as the Powered Buggy (パワードバギー) module included with the 1983 Diaclone Powered Convoy toy, which was recycled with a new deco, albeit sans buggy partner, as the 1986 Transformers character Ultra Magnus. In the 2010s, the original deco of Powered Convoy was resurrected as the character Delta Magnus and Powered Buggy as Powerdrive, though Powerdrive would not recieve a toy in that form for quite some time.
  • While neither Hasbro or Takara sold the 1983 Powered Buggy design as part of a Transformers-branded toy prior to 2026, the figure's ties to the brand go back to when Italian company GiG released the complete Powered Convoy set as part of their 1984 Trasformer line, where it was named "Super Buggy".
