Zeta Toys brings us the latest batch of pictures from their on-going project Kronos (Masterpiece Superion).
As has been the case in past projects, Zeta’s hallmark is the use of parts-forming in order to create the largest and most stable combining figures currently available. As you can see, Kronos is no exception and is capable of dynamic poses and a degree of articulation that has never before been possible of a combiner of this size and complexity.
Zeta is making this amazing Superion as their follow up to their very well received figure Armageddon (Masterpiece Bruticus). While only the first two Aerialbots have been released, Silver Arrow (Silverbolt) is set to release soon, followed shortly by the remaining two figures, so it won’t be long until collectors will be able to form this impressive and literally MASSIVE combiner.
Now is the best time to get your preorder in for this set as it’s extremely affordable and likely to be highly popular with Masterpiece collectors.
Feel free to jump over to the discussion on our boards to weight in on this highly impressive figure.

Raiden is a G1 Combiner. And they're currently making another Devastator.

Regardless of name, it's strange they haven't rebranded and made more G1 combiners.

Not everyone knows about all that stuff, and it's not 100% in any case. So I can see why the person could have questioned it.
Also, edited my message because I have Zeta Bruticus, lol…
AliceBreckwith
I thought we had all agreed on them having dropped that name because they got into hot water with Hasbro over Unicron.

Think they meant as Zeta, doing G1 Transformers stuff. Raiden was released under Moon Studio, for example, and is JG1.
It is odd they never looked at Menasor or Defensor after Superion, for example. And we know they shelved a Predaking a few years back.
AliceBreckwith
?? They just made Raiden and are currently making those goofy Battleships.
siniquezu
Does anyone have any theories on why zeta doesn't make the other combiners?

How has this set held up over time for those that transform them somewhat frequently? Both plastic and paint wise.

These may be the only TFs I would keep in vehicle mode. They look so good.

Sorry slightly off topic looking to purchase a Zeta Bruticus metallic for $415. Good combiner for the price? Currently own Jinboa Dev with upgrade kit and XTB Menasor. Zeta Superion metallic on the boat in transit. Collecting XTB Defensor.

They are also putting out that battleship combiner.
SquishyOH
Yep.
Zeta has been operating as Studio-01 with their Primus and last year they were doing "Radiatron" as Moon Studios. There was also another round of Unicrons sometime in 2023 I believe. So Zeta is still out there, just not putting the Zeta tag on their boxes. If you search for "zeta" on ShowZ, you will see other companies pop up in the results.

They just put out primus, so, I'd say yes, they are still around (in some form).

Does Zeta still exist as a company or did they go by the wayside like so many others? I see showz has nothing in stock from them and the only preorder they have is 4 years old (meaning its not likely ever going to happen). I have their superion and love it. was hoping for more gestalts from them. Think its just this one and bruticus that got made.

Dremel and Craft Knife. I think Superion is Masterpiece worthy while the team in alt mode stands up to masterpiece quality you have to squint a bit more to see it in bot mode.

I ordered Zeta metallic I am going to eBay my FT three members. I have plenty of extra faces I could use on 1 or 2 Zeta heads especially Firefly.
Miroboto
Did you have to dremel them out… are they a seperate piece painted glued in?
Bugste81
Hi there. I replaced them with faces from other figures. It meant cutting out and destroying the originals though. Far left is from one of the FT Stunticons, next was one of the FT Aerialbots, Middle FT Silverbolt, next origonal face, Far Right Another FT Aerialbot. I just couldmn't live with the origonal ones.

Hope that makes sense. Regards

Sorry late to the party are the heads on the 2 on the left come with the metallic?
