Best anyone can tell Sonic Bomber is a retool of Misfire. I'd put a tiny fractional chance on it being Blurr/Brainstorm.
Looking at pics, it looks like Misfire alright

Ah, yep, absolutely. Matches the molded detail on the arms/robot torso area dead on.leokearon wrote:ScottyP wrote:^Thanks!

It wasn't that they "forgot" Grandus and Sky Garry, but more that the Star Convoy reissue wasn't as successful a seller as Takara as hoped it would be. The lack success with Star Convoy's reissue simply led to no reissues for the other two.fenrir72 wrote:ZeroWolf wrote:To say they forgot about victory Leo is a bit misleading as Star Saber wasn't planned from the get go anyway as he won that fan poll.

Saber and Leo are like Peanut butter and Jelly. Like GGinrai and GBomber. Takara should have followed through with the combo is all I'm saying.
Just like Takara forgetting to release Grandus and Skygarry when they released Starconvoy back in 2005.

Ironhide says "hi".
I'm curious if knowing they share transformations has any effect on your opinion of Ironhide.

Yes. Star Saber was a special isolated case, even done by a completely different designer from whom was the main designer for the Masterpiece line at the time.fenrir72 wrote:MP Starsaber sold like hotcakes and no MP Victory Leo. Why? Just because he was (Starsaber) was just a fan vote winner?
Because Legends God Ginrai wasn't a random poll winner decided by the fans. MP Star Saber, by comparison, was a wild card in the same way that Optimal Optimus was decided for the Power of the Primes line without any new Beast Wars Megatron toy to accompany him as his adversary.fenrir72 wrote:When GGinrai was released for Legends, we were all nutz that GBomber was announced. P&J. On the MP side, nada. verily

JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Wow, so out of left field. Then again, they're not with the Jumpstarters Topspin and Twin Twist now established as Powered Masters themselves (motor and spring gimmicks thank you).
Sonic Bomber is indeed made from Misfire, Road Fire from Twin Twist, but Dai Atlas is where the bulk of the new parts ended up. Sky Shadow is where the reused parts stem from, the wings and the tank (note how it's reversed), but not the turret! I do suspect Dai Atlas will not split like his mold predecessors did.
Finally, you "Dai Atlas from Overlord/Sky Shadow" folk can rejoice, congrats.
Granted, Dai Atlas was a fair bit bigger than the other two, originally.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:chuckdawg1999 wrote:They upsized the kabaya kits
I have the Kabaya kits, quite fun little guys. Little, yes (barely past Legion size), but perfect with limited shelf space. Speaking of size, the Legends release does pose some size discrepancies between the members, with Sonic Bomber and Roadfire as Deluxes, being dwarfed by the Leader Dai Atlas

What I really mean is it's just 4 toys getting stacked on top of each others. It's a very lazy and pointless design. I can do this myself with anything lying around. There is no streamlining, nothing integrate. I love big combined ships. But this is not a combination. It's a stack of junk.
Combined ships that do it right:
Armada Tidalwave.
G1 Victory Saber:
There's might be others.
BTW, a bit off topic but it was so random that I just had to share.
When a bot go beyond combining and become Legion:
Dafok am looking at?

More like 4 parts, Dai Atlas may or may not split in two given the mold's pedigree.
