Still covering the 58th All Japan Hobby Model Show, a couple of Japanese outlets - such as the Snakas blog and toy bloggers on Twitter like Dory - have provided us with extra images of the briefly revealed Big Powered in the Takara Tomy LG-EX (the same monicker as the exclusive Legends figures that have already been released too) line.

As a refresher, and a late addition to the previous story, Big Powered appears to use components from Overlord/Sky Shadow and Twintwist, all from Titans Return / Legends. So not quite a whole new mold, but still some unique potential mold reuses, straight out of Transformers Zone as the combined vehicle form of Cybertron Powered Masters Dai Atlas, Sonic Bomber, and Roadfire. Check out the new angled images mirrored below!

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.

Dafok am looking at?

4 bots?

I think it's a good attempt without making completely new molds.

Also that last picture

that's some mugen madness

I would love some of those toys but I dread to think how much it would cost to do that!

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

You know, it would be cool if the new Dai Atlas retained Overlord/Sky Shadow's ability to split the jet and tank components apart, and then have the new Sonic Bomber able to combine with the jet and the new Roadfire combine with the tank to form new separated versions of Sky Powered and Land Powered that could coexist with each other at the same time, instead of how the original toys could only do one or the other but never both since Dai Atlas was originally one single vehicle rather than two separate ones like he could possibly be now.

As is, however, the images instead look like Sonic Bomber attaches to at least just the tank part and Roadfire the jet part rather than vice versa being another option.

That's definitely a cockpit in that gun so these probably will still remain Headmasters. This is Legends after all so it fits their story.

I ont really undestand why it wouldnt split. Dont we see the jet on top of the tank in these pics? So then its already split no?

Unless they retooled the two components to be permanently joined into one big treaded drill jet the like original toy (which I sincerely doubt will be the case).

This is amazing! I just don't even know where it came from... idle boredom I bet, some designer stacking TR figures on top one another to kill some time

Yup!

I can definitely see the retool from the original

Looks like two deluxes and a leader isn't that far off from the original.

Topspin will get an extra flap and a gun barrel or a folding turret

Misfire, a little voodoo retooling on the nosecone cockpit.

Black Shadow is kind of tricky, will the tank turret be retained like original? Or just a flat platform with tank treads? Will the jet mode + tank part combo of the original have a more secure clamp/connection? Even with the JP Overlord, the clamp still felt loose. As for the nosecone drill, retractable?

This will look awesome once colored

The thing is, it's no more a tank than a big treaded vehicle like Star Convoy's Tread Unit as there's no discernible turret. And retooling it to stay one unit isn't that hard, just need to be creative with the new pelvis which is now in the back.

O well, keeping both possibilities open.

Roadfire's gun barrel and cockpit seems to be fused unlike the original (or maybe detachable?). Thus the cockpit front part I mentioned that would be part of Topspin's front can be detached by those clamps and connects onto Sonic bomber's topside now.

Seeing the original above show another GREAT spaceship combinaison. The new version is embarassing being a "steel burger".

Sonic Bomber is the size of a modern Voyager. This new one will be a shrimp next to the original.

Dai Atlas' top.

And I don't think that will be the connection. Those are not clamps, they're the hinges for the fists, with sprue marks right below.

Now, now size doesn't matter.

Original Overlord was also bigger than the original. So a little downsizing is in effect (Dai Atlas is or was Ultra Class?)
