- Big Powered is an Autobot Powered Master from the Zone portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Big Powered (ビッグパワード Biggu Pawādo) is the combined vehicle form of Dai Atlas, Sonic Bomber, and Road Fire. It can travel at a maximum speed of "9999 Powered Knots" and emits a rainbow when traveling through space. Yes, really.

Zone
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
