Care of Autobase Aichi, we can share with you some further images of the upcoming Transformers Legends LG-EX Big Powered with you. These images show the same prototype from the 58th All Japan Hobby Model Show earlier in the week – but now with the added benefit of a look at a few different angles and closeups. These let us really appreciate the scale of remolding that has been achieved for this set of three to make them as accurate to their original 1990 releases (and their animation models) as possible. As previously reported all three are looking to be extensive remolds of toys released under Titans Return – Dai Atlas is a remold of Sky Shadow / Overlord, Sonic Bomber is a remold of the Misfire / Triggerhappy / Slugslinger mold, and Roadfire is a remold of Twin Twist. The remolding seems extensive enough to let the three merge in their vehicle forms, and we can see evidence that the Titan Master cockpits remain so we’d expect the trio to now be Headmasters – with the Headmasters possibly representing Atlas, Sonic, and Drillbuster, the Micromasters who came with the original 1990s release, but that’s speculation on our part.
For those coming in late, Big Powered is the name of the combined form of the three Cybertron Powered Masters Dai Atlas, Sonic Bomber, and Roadfire from the series Transformers Zone. Transformers Zone was a 1990 toyline accompanied by a single 20 minute animated episode which introduced the bulk of the Micromasters toys to Japan (a handful having been released in Transformers Victory the previous year). The trio were known for being Micromaster bases with actual robot modes as well as vehicle and base modes. The combined form, Big Powered, was formed when the three came together to face the big villain of the story, Violenjaeger, and was described as being an absurdly fast and powerful vehicle which also left a rainbow in its wake.
According to Autobase Aichi, no details were available in respect of when or how this will be released, or how much it will cost.

Oh sorry, i didn't read the qoute you responded to fully. Being in the big-powered thread, thought you meant that.
Robogeek28
I dunno, but I was talking about Rail Racer.
geekatron prime
Has any of the LG-EX line ever had an OS KO made of them?
Robogeek28
I'm really surprised that an OS KO was never made.

The OG Railracer toy still stands up pretty well today, so that's always an option. (I have one and love it) It's still reasonably priced in the aftermarket, at least from when I've checked in.
A BIGGER one, though… hmm…
DarkSkull
Rail Racer is not a jg1, that do not mean they will not do it, but the success of Star Saber is irrilevant about the decision…
SecretWyvern
Raiden is cool, but you want to know who's cooler? Rail Racer.
Obviously there's enough space for both (There is Hasbro) and I want both but I will give a fairy my firstborn if I have to to get Rail Racer within the next 5 years

Fair enough on the Titan master gimmick but I’ve never been a huge fan. Not the worst thing in the world but definitely not my thing, you know? But yeah I hope to see more JG1. I think we’re getting Minerva next year so I hope 2023 brings a lot more.

The overwhelming success of the Victory Saber Haslab achieving 200% of what was needed for production could sway Hasbro to give more consideration to JG1 characters in the main line. Personally, I'm hoping for an affordable Raiden in the future.
I like this set because of the unusual vehicle combining idea instead of combining for a giant bot. Some complain that these characters weren't meant for the titan master gimmick, but it's my favorite gimmick so that's a bonus to me.
JazzAlert13
Ok sounds good.
And you never know. I wouldn’t have thought that they’d make a new Victory Saber a year ago but here we are. I’m definitely not holding my breath about it or anything but I’m also not going to give up all hope.
But yeah this guys seems pretty tight!
Treadshot 2.0
They're definitely not making a new one. If you want this, track it down, I'd say.
SeiberBirdR
Hopefully Hasbro will do a HasLab Dai Atlas in the future. More JG1 with dedicated CHUG figures has me excited.
Rodimus Prime
Yeah, I meant Fort Max. Was thinking about the Titan for Legends at the time. It would be huge and expensive.
JazzAlert13
The Metroplex or the third part Fort Max?
For the Fort Max I doubt it’ll come close considering just the head (Cerebro, right?) is $200+ and it’s supposed to be 4ft tall. So if it’s less than $1500 I’ll be surprised.
For the Metroplex I guess it all depends on what scale they use and how they try to do it you know? Cause they could go the route of having him be about Fort Max/ Scorponok comics height which iirc would be about 2-3 Optimus prime heights. But if they try to go for a bigger not in scale but huge bot, then that could easily reach $1000+
WolverineDragon
I wouldn’t be surprised if it goes around for Unicron levels of price.
JazzAlert13
There’s some third party doing a masterpiece scale (I believe) Fort Max and just the head is $200+. So expensive, I’d imagine.
Rodimus Prime
>MP Metroplex.
…how much would it even cost?
Bob Schoonover
I would actually be quite interested in them running this poll again – since Takara didn't make Victory Leo, would that tamp enthusiasm for other characters who have combining with someone else as a semi-integral part of their character (which, ironically, just leaves FortMax and Big Convoy)?
