| This article is about the Zone Autobot subgroup. For similar-sounding concepts, see Powermaster (disambiguation). |
- The Powered Masters are an Autobot subgroup from the Zone portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
The Powered Masters (パワードマスター Pawādo Masutā) are an elite trio of high-ranking Autobots, gifted with incredible size, strength, and skill. Together or separately, they're more than a match for any one of Violengiguar's Nine Great Demon Generals.
The Powered Masters are:
- Dai Atlas, the Supreme Commander of the Autobots.
- Sonic Bomber, Dai Atlas' fun-loving second in command.
- Roadfire, the other guy who happens to be a gentle giant.
The three Powered Masters can combine to form Big Powered. Dai Atlas can also combine with his teammates individually, forming Sky Powered when combined with Sonic Bomber and Land Powered when combined with Roadfire.
There are also two lesser known Powered Masters, Twin Twist and Topspin, who have not been seen operating alongside the other three. These two brothers can combine into Attack Powered.
Fiction
Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity
Zone cartoon
After the Nine Great Demon Generals destroyed planet Feminia, the Powered Masters Dai Atlas and Sonic Bomber arrived to rescue Victory Saber from certain doom. They then headed to planet Earth to stop the Decepticons from obtaining the Zodiac, destroying Trypticon, Devastator, King Poseidon, and Predaking in the process. Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!
Zone comic and story pages
To counter the Autobot Zone, Violengiguar ordered his Nine Great Demon Generals on a campaign to conquer planets and create a Decepticon Zone. The Decepticons attacked planet Feminia and destroyed it completely, with Victory Saber lost in the destruction. However, Dai Atlas and Sonic Bomber, the Powered Master space explorers, had arrived in time to rescue the badly wounded Autobot Supreme Commander. The Decepticons then shifted their focus to Earth, where they hoped to obtain a powerful energy source called the Zodiac. Dai Atlas and Sonic Bomber intercepted them on Earth, defeated them, and regained the Zodiac. Impressed with Dai Atlas' courage and power, and too injured to lead any longer, Victory Saber inaugurated Dai Atlas as the new Supreme Commander of the Autobots. Transformers: Zone
Dai Atlas helped to complete the Zone Operation, leaving Victory Saber relieved he had passed the role of Supreme Commander on to him. Zone Part 4 Soon after, Evil Spirit General BlackZarak attacked Earth and took Landshaker and Sky Hyper hostage. Driven by the need to rescue their comrades, the Powered Masters defeated BlackZarak and rescued their friends. Zone Part 5
The Powered Masters then focused their attention on Super-God General Overlord and Dinosaur General Trypticon, whom they vowed to defeat in under eight seconds. True to their word, they beat them within the time limit. Zone Part 6
Violengiguar then created Metrotitan as a rival for Dai Atlas and unleashed him on the Lunar Zone Base on Earth's moon. Dai Atlas heard the SOS and rushed to aid Sonic Bomber in battle. Zone Part 8 Dai Atlas arrived and combined with Sonic Bomber into Sky Powered, but they were quickly frozen solid by Metrotitan's Freeze Beam Gun. All hope seemed lost until Roadfire, the third Powered Master, appeared and took Metrotitan out. Freed, Dai Atlas and Sonic Bomber happily welcomed Roadfire into the club. Zone Part 9
Violengiguar at last came out of the shadows and attacked the Earth in person. The Powered Masters attempted to stop him with their "Triple Powered Attack" but failed. Violengiguar escaped back to the Tenth Planet with the Zodiac and a Galaxy Rocket full of hostages. The Powered Masters then combined into Big Powered and gave chase. Zone Part 10
Arriving at the Tenth Planet, Violengiguar split into his three forms, Vion, Lenger and Iguarn, and attacked. The Powered Masters quickly destroyed them, but the battle was not over. Zone Part 11 Violengiguar returned as a horrible phoenix-thing and attacked. Upgraded with the power of the Zodiac, the Powered Masters combined into Big Powered yet again, but this time their strength was enhanced thirty-fold. They flew through Violengiguar and destroyed him with the "Powered Rainbow Attack". The Zodiac then reformed the desolate Tenth Planet into a lush utopia where humans and robots could live in harmony. Zone Part 12
Legends comic
The original three Powered Masters were originally built by Megatron as the Decepticon "Poweredrons", but when they learn of Megatron's true purposes they stole the Decepticon fleet and performed a mass-evac to Paradron, renaming themselves as the Powered Masters upon joining the Autobots. Dai Atlas Chapter
Twin Twist and Topspin identified themselves as Powered Masters as early as 2004. In the 2030s, after Dai Atlas's battles were over, they stole the Zodiac from him so they could use it to create the Legends World. Bonus Edition Vol. 66

Ask Vector Prime
Multiversal observer Vector Prime stated that various iterations of Dai Atlas and the Powered Masters defeated their enemies the Thirteen Great Demon Generals. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/12/19
Toys
Zone
Although it is a common misconception that the Powered Master toys all featured motorized action, in fact, they do not share any kind of common gimmick.
Dai Atlas is the figure with the motorized action—powered by two AA batteries, his motor drives his rubber treads, allowing him to roll forward or backwards in any of his three modes (Star Convoy featured a similar gimmick, but was not included in the Powered Master subgroup). Sonic Bomber and Roadfire, conversely, simply feature spring-loaded actions in their transformations.
Legends
- Legends Big Powered is a three-pack consisting of Dai Atlas, Sonic Bomber, and Roadfire as retools of Titans Return Sky Shadow, Misfire, and Twin Twist.
Notes
- Dai Atlas, Sonic Bomber, and Roadfire are also known as "The Hero of the Earth" (大地の英雄 Daichi no Eiyū), "The Warrior of the Wind" (風の戦士 "Kaze no Senshi"), and "The Brave of the Fire" (炎の勇者 Honō no Yūsha) respectively.
