Thanks to a post from Seibertronian Sabrblade and via Dengeki Hobby, we have news from the 58th All Japan Model Hobby Show, running this weekend, that the Legends line continues on, and is still pulling out new molds, as we have the reveal of LG-EX Big Powered! Big Powered is the combined form of Dai Atlas, Sonic Bomber, and Roadfire, AKA the Powered Masters, and is shown off here is all his gray model glory. He appears to be a whole new mold as well.

EDIT: He 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!

Big Powered only ever showed up in the pages of Zone as the combined form of the above mentioned Powered Masters, which themselves have put in only a small number of appearances in media, so it is incredible that we appear to be getting whole new toys of the team.

Check out the gray model images below, and let us know what you think of this bizarre reveal!

Upon closer inspection, Dai Atlas seems to be an extreme retool of the Overlord/Sky Shadow mold (if not an all new mold simply based on that one), with the same being said about Roadfire originating from the Twin Twist mold.

Can't quite tell if Sonic Bomber is all new or likewise uses a preexisting mold (maybe Misfire?) as a base.

I agree, I was looking at the bottom tank part and it looks like Overlord/Sky Shadow's tank component, and now that you say it, that definitely looks like Twintwist up top

I was just about to post this. Overlord was the first thing that came to mind, but the tank treads on Twin Twist was the dead giveaway to me.

Either way, this is a fantastic re-use of existing molds, possibly with new parts. Awesome and thank you, Takara Tomy!

At first glance, but it turns out he is not. It is a very clever repurposing of tooling we got in Titans Return, take a look:

Interesting retooling there.

Can't wait to see a full colored protype.

Props go to Takara. Hopefully it won't be prohibitively expensive.

Story was edited to include some of the mold finds!

This is incredible. Probably gonna be around $200, but dang, I think I need that

Yeah, it being an exclusive will also raise the price. I really wish it wasnt, always makes it pricier for no good reason and makes it less obvious to get for international fans.

I will get it though.

Where is Misfire in that mess? I don't see his mold re-used. I definitely see Overlord and Twin Twist though.

Just a guess regarding Sonic Bomber's mold. It could be a different jet, or maybe even an all new mold. Hard to tell from that pic, frankly.

This was something I NEVER expected. I can't wait to see robot modes and coloured pictures.

Holy cow I have not been this excited in a VERY long time!

He is in the front, the black jet component of Big Powered. You can match Misfire's cockpit shape and especially the details at the side fo the cockpit, which appear to be unchanged. Plus the arms atthe side have the same transformation and joints.

Look at the details I mention above and it will become more obvious of it beign Misfire. Its not a guess, or at least not moreso than the others.

The front.

I actually agree that it's a mess but hey, it's a gray model. I bet color will help. As is, the G1 combined vehicle mode is cleaner.

I am happy to be getting updated versions of the characters and think the robot modes will probably look great!

Shoulda been wearing your brown pants.

Or maybe your big powered pants.

The arms are the really noticeable part. Other than that, there isn't much, but it looks like that front jet shares the Misfire arms
