DAI ATLAS

This is the latest toy from Kabaya that comes in a set of three. First let's take a look the vintage Dai Atlas. This robot came out in Japan during the early 90's, under the series known as Zone.

In the cartoon animation, Dai Atlas took over Star Saber to lead the Autobots.

The first mode, we see Dai Atlas in the form of a huge aircraft. Personally, it looks more like a huge tank with wings & a sharp nose.

Dai Atlas can also transform into a land assault vehicle. The cannon on top actually comes from Sonic Bomber's kit which I will review in my next post.

Other angles of the assault tank.

Next, we take a look at Dai Atlas in its full grandeur in robot form.

Here, we see that that stickers have done a great  job in bringing this piece to life. They are easy to apply but do be careful as they may peel off over time. What I usually do is to apply a translucent payer of glue on the sticker to keep them in place for a longer period of time.

With some help from accessories in Sonic Bomber & Road Fire's kit, Dai Atlas is now equipped with his shield & blade. The Z blade comes with Road Fire's kit while the mini gun turret & blue ramps come from Sonic Bomber's set.

Since it this toy line has been discontinued long ago. Getting hold of Dai Atlas has been the dream of many collectors like myself. Due to the sky high prices of mint conditioned toys, perhaps the next best thing is to get hold of this Kabaya set to quench our thirst for collection.

Lastly, we take a look at Dai Atlas in base mode.

The kit & pieces snap together nicely to form this simple yet amazing structure. The mini, Micromaster Speeder that comes from Road Kire's makes as a nice display together with the Dai Atlas Base.

Stay tuned for my upcoming posts on the remaining two Zone robots & how they combine together to form the mighty Big Powered.
