Thanks to TakaraTomyMall, we have another Big Powered update for you! As you might recall, earlier today we saw a low quality image show of Big Powered in the full combined alternate form of Dai Atlas, Sonic Bomber, and Roadfire, all of Transformers: Zone fame, and now we have full colored images of the robot modes and individual alternate modes to show you!
These images really show us the extent of the retooling done to the molds, as these 3 figures are based off of Titans Return/Legends Misfire, Twintwist, and Overlord. Important to note is that the tank half of Overlord appears to have had the turret removed entirely, allowing Dai Altas to have 1 singular alternate mode as a jet with tank treads underneath.
We also get a good glimpse at all 3 figures in what appears to be "base modes" and we also see their cool new accessories.
The figure is currently up for pre-order from the Mall for 15,000 yen (Around $135 USD) and has a March 2019 arrival date.
Check out the images below, and let us know what you think of this figure in the comments section below!

Of so, can they make it into the Deluxe-sized master version of Cyclonus that we should have gotten?

Anyhow, Deluxe because ALL of the other Target master characters in Titans Return were Deluxe, and I would like a matching set.

I have that one about three times, myself. But it still doesn't match the others as it isn't a headmaster titanmaster.

I am s very excited for these, and I don't know why. Their vehicle modes arent even anything and outside of IDW Dai Atlas I have zero attachment to any of the charters. And that 150+ estimated cost is steep (worth it for what it is, just steep).

Pics are up of the whole package, robot mode and vehicle mode. And what do I do?! Look at the Headmasters, and they're not based on their Micromaster partners it looks like 
Of note is that the Dai Atlas Headmaster confirms him to be based on the Sky Shadow version of the tooling, not Overlord as he uses the Ominus parts, not the Dreadnaut ones.

Oh well, if it shows up on BBTS, I'll check the price there and see if that might be easier to stomach. But seriouly, this set looks amazing and I'd love to have it despite me never personally having had a connection to these characters

And as perfect as the OverShadow mold turns out to be for Dai Atlas, this makes him the third character I can hear screaming at me in unison: "How has this mold STILL not been retooled into Thunderwing?!?"

Emerje can tell you more about that.

Mayhaps a good time to recycle the name Roadburn if it ever came to that.
Sure, but the shipping and fees would be so high on a set this big and the impact on the order numbers so low that I wouldn't recommend it. I won't be doing it, I'll be sticking with TFSource.
But I'm not seeing anything on the order page about an order minimum needing to be placed before these are produced, where is this stated? Instead I see a spot that says a limited number is being produced and sales will end when the number is reached. "This item has limited quantity. If it reaches sales reserve number, sales may end before the due date." Sounds like production is a sure thing to me.

The quote comes directly from TFW's front page:
But now i am pretty sure it was a misinterpretation of that statement. So its all good.
And as TF Fan Kev said, this is up on BBTS.
These are always a bit trickier for me since it gets very pricey for me to buy from an importer. I usually wait until they show up on the secondary Japanese market and buy them there to offset the cost. I end up paying as much as if I was an american buying from BBTS, but it takes a while.

The little guys are the characters' real selves in Japan, not separate-character partners. In this case, Dai Atlas and co. are the small guys while the larger ones are just lifeless bodies they control.william-james88 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:You do know why that is, yes?JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Pics are up of the whole package, robot mode and vehicle mode.

Nice. $160, I guess I'll have to see how things turn out next tax season. I'm not going to pre-order this unless I see the potential of it selling out quickly. There are still plenty of LGEX Grand Max, Metroplex, and Greatshot that are still all on my want list as well, but are quite plentifully in stock at BBTS.

Nice. $160, I guess I'll have to see how things turn out next tax season. I'm not going to pre-order this unless I see the potential of it selling out quickly. There are still plenty of LGEX Grand Max, Metroplex, and Greatshot that are still all on my want list as well, but are quite plentifully in stock at BBTS.

Not a bad price for these, though I wonder if kapow will get a few in,given that they had managed to snag a few lgex items previously.

Its cheaper than past LGEX toys.
Past LGEX toys have been at these prices (from importers):
Deluxe: $40
Voyager: $60
Leader: $80-$95
So 2 deluxes and a leader could have easily been $175. I am glad its not.

Both site sponsors BBTS and TF Source now have this set available for preorder for $159.99 USD.
Here are the listings:
BBTS: https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/ ... ails/81630
TF Source: https://tfsource.com/legends-series/lg-ex-big-powered/
Since thes are LG-Ex figures, they will not be available from Japanese retailers like HLJ or Amazon Japan.
This set comprises of Dai Atlas, Sonic Bomber and Roadfire, which are all very heavy retools of the Skyshadow, Misfire and Twin Twist figures released last year. How heavy? Well, we laid out some images below for you tom compare between the original mold and the new toys we are getting. You will also see what the original G1 toys looked like, to see how faithful (or not) these new designs are to them. You can compare between robot modes, alt modes and even base modes. Most G1 images come from this blog post by fellow Seibertronian Scotty P.

I think many fans, including myself, saw the potential easily in retooling the Overlord/Skyshadow toy into Dai Atlus. However the work done with the other two bots to give us a fully functioning updated version of Big Powered is really amazing.

I just preordered this without hesitation from BBTS. I f**king love headmasters and this is just glorious. I was kind of hoping they would redo all the bots into headmasters, the way they were going with Titans Return... Oh wells, we got some great ones!

Do Dai Atlas, Sonic Bomber, and Roadfire not have removable heads? I assumed they would have to from an engineering perspective? It really doesn't matter either way, but I just figured they would have to be, based on their source.

Not sure how they would pull that one off. Plus making an Autobot leader doesn't guarantee we will get his Decepticon counterpart. My Masterpiece Star Saber is still waiting for a proper Dezarus (I'm not counting that awful Sky Lynx repaint) to do battle with & Fort Max & Grand Max really need Scorponok & Black Zarak to go on shelves next to them.
As long as it took to get A new Trypticon, I think we can expect to wait much longer for a Violen Jiger. But I would be glad to be wrong on that one.

Earlier in the thread it was confirmed that they were headmasters.

^The closest thing, without making a completely new toy would be that awful Alpha Q toy from Transformers Energon, and we definitely don't need to see that again. Some 3P company might come up with something interesting. Besides, since the Zone Manga isn't available in English, I don't know if Violenjiger was ever fully shown beyond his nebulous 3 faced form.
