Via Fans Hobby Facebook we have images of their upcoming MB-11A Black God Armor (God Bomber) to share with all of you.
This mold is based on G1 God Bomber from the Japanese G1 Masterforce series. This robot will combine as an armor for Fans Hobby MB-06 Power Baser/Super Ginrai and repaints. The images show the test shot that will go with MB-06A Black Power Baser, revealing all the potential of this new mold. Robot mode stands 31 cm tall, and it will include a shoulder cannon and 2 extendable swords. The alt mode, can be attached as a second trailer for Power Baser.
We are also treated with the combined mode of these two impressive robots. The combination will stand 37 cm tall, featuring full poseability and ideal for the Masterpiece scale. MB-11A Black God Armor is expected for release by August this year.

I go back and forth w my Black set.
Frankly, all of the modes are fun -even the stupid base Powermaster base mode.
its just a fun figure to transform and fiddle with.
Right now I have them in altmode. As ridiculous as the winged trailer is, its beautiful and so satisfying as a solid brick of plasticy goodness!

N-n-n-necropost!
Had mine delivered from the recent BBTS sale on him, and wow I am impressed. The transformation into bot mod was hella impressive, a lot of really smart engineering and had me saying wow a lot.
I didn’t think I’d leave him in bot mode longer than it took to snap a pic, but I think he’s earned a bit of time on the shelf before I add him to Black Power Baser.

Seamless!!! Wouldn’t know Black Bomber was meant for someone else…

Those two work well

Colors do look great!

These are the best I can do. He's just too dang big so I just plopped him on the floor.

If I can find a space large enough for this monster I’ll be sure to snap a few.
The bluish purple compliments Machine Eagle’s colours quite well.

I finally got the black God Armor to got with my Machine Eagle and I will say some of the joints were loose on mine as well. Not so loose as to be floppy, but not as solid as Eagle itself.
They look pretty amazing combined, though.

The right shoulder on mine has issues. It'll click for a while then randomly squeak as I turn it for a bit. There's also some extra wiggle going the other direction.

I'm thinking about getting the whole set. Is there any difference between the original version of MB11 and "reissue"?
Like FansHobby FH MB-11 MB11 God Armor Master Builder Original Version and Master Builder MB-11 God Armor (Reissue)

If that's the case, contact Fans Hobby; their customer service is second to none, and they should be able to organise a replacement part (they helped me out with a broken part on mine after I accidentally dropped him).

Unfortunately not. Maybe I just got a dud. Oh well, rest of the figure is fine.
Sigmalock
Is the safety switch on? It’s obviously designed to prevent the missile from firing (once loaded), but it might also prevent the missile from being loaded into place inside the launcher to begin with.
RonLopez34
Just wondering, is anyone else having issues getting the missile to lock into the shoulder cannon? I just got this figure for the first time and that seems to be the only issue I'm having.

The chances are low and I'll keep my eyes/ears open and if it happens, it will be exciting but not expecting much as this point. But I also enjoy hearing when other people do score him. (I think robotoybase had 1 randomly last year that someone on these boards picked up.)
I've decided I'm going to preorder the Black God Armor and probably combine them once and then display them separately from there. These dudes are so big and chunky, the combined form may look actually look pretty good…just need to see how the all the different shades of colors match up.

@FattyMoBookyBut , by enhancements I was just referring to the overall visual look of combined mode looks with Purple God Armour attached to Purple PowerBaser – nothing more. And I really feel for you and @daimchoc as you hunt for Purple God Bomber/Armour. I was fortunate that when I decided to purchase both purple guys, God Bomber was (surprisingly) still in stock at BBTS.
The difficulty you're now facing is this guy was only produced in a number of 300 units unlike power baser who was limited to 500. My advice is this: contact every person., online store and collecter you know who might have one still MISP they're sitting on as an investment. And trawl eBay daily. If one becomes available – grab it with both hands.
I remember hunting for Purple Powerbaser after purchasing Purple Bomber from BBTS. People sneered at me and said I was wasting my time hoping to land a MISP purple power baser and should just settle for a used one. But I kept at it and networked with as many people as I could. In the end it paid off with someone on Ebay I contacted. He wasn't listing what I wanted but had one he was sitting on as an investment.

I'm also looking for the purple bomber to go along with my purple PB I've had forever. I'm thinking I may get the black/gray god bomber and call it a day…has anyone used this combo? (Pics or it didn't happen .)
@Magna Jet Convoy What enhancements are you referring to. Individual updates or just the combined package as a whole?
Same issue with the chest on my purple PB. It saddened me greatly. I think I've come to terms with it though. I think.
(I just received my Fire Guts yesterday and was hoping the chest was going to be better. At least you've helped me kill any remaining hope and I can enjoy it for what it is.)
