Zone
- Road Fire (Powered Master, 1990)
- Japanese ID number: C-349
- Road Fire transforms into a Cybertronic tank. His front-end is a launching mechanism for Micromasters, opening wide on a spring then pushing them out via srping-loaded ramp. He has a partial auto-transform, a geared pressure-release mechanism that moves his thrusters/legs up to form his third "tower" mode, and fromthere it's a quick conversion to robot. He can combine with fellow Powered Masters Dai Atlas and Sonic Bomber as a triple-base, or as the rear section of the Big Powered super-vehicle. He is also compatible with Micromaster base-ramps.
- He came with his Micromaster partner Drillbuster.
- Big Powered (Multi-pack, 1990)
- Japanese ID number: C-
- All three Powered Masters were also available in a huge multi-pack.
Trivia
- Road Fire was seemingly a late addition to the line; the first image of him in the Zone catalogue is actually concept art that was significantly different from the final product. Since he was the last toy of Zone, a line put out at a time when interest in Transformers was severely waning in Japan, Road Fire is considerably harder to come across than Dai Atlas or Sonic Bomber, and commands a fair bit more on the secondary market than those two.
- The Big Powered multi-pack with Road Fire? Oh yeah, that goes for beaucoup bucks.
