Dear Vector Prime, Is Grandus in any way related to the Metro Clan (Metroplex, Metrotitan, Metrobase) of Transformers? He's a pretty big fellow to just show up out of nowhere.

Dear Biggest Battlestar,

Grandus’ mighty size and strength is in fact not the product of his construction, but of his own hard work. Once a Cyberdroid of planet Master, Grandus found the idea of piloting a lifeless Transtector body unsettling, akin to developing a single giant phantom limb.

Still wishing to be of use to his fellows, Grandus continued his training well past that of the other Cyberdroids, supplementing it with a special diet of locally sourced oils and energon. Instead of just learning how to transform, Grandus developed an incredibly potent superstructure, allowing him to upgrade his body well beyond the means of most normal bots. By the time he was assigned to the Battlestars, his hard work had allowed him to rub shoulders with natural-built Titans!

This is Big Bang, a large Autobot who was intended to succeed Transformers Zone protagonist Dai Atlas as Autobot Supreme Commander in the 1991 storyline for the Transformers brand in Japan, but was replaced by Star Convoy (aka the resurrected Optimus Prime) in the released storyline Return of Convoy. Had he remained the lead character, he would have fought alongside Autobot Battlestars Iron Baron (Grandus in the final release) and Sky Garry to defeat the threat of Dark Nova.

Due to his status as a scrapped yet fully designed character, Big Bang has only made a few cameo appearances elsewhere in the series after being showcased in a Japan-exclusive series guidebook. He appeared in a few stories written by the Transformers Collectors Club as the Communications Officer of the Autobot Elite Guard under Sentinel Major, and IDW's Allspark Almanac II would identify a version of the character from the world of Transformers Animated who held the rank of Prime and was mentally-bonded to the giant Autobot Beta Supreme, who took the form of his starship, the Battlestar. His latest appearance in media would be in the rebooted IDW comics, in a flashback fighting alongside fellow obscure Autobot champion Halonix Maximus against Gaidora and his pack of turbofoxes.

Enjoy some new images of the 1991 Takara Return of Convoy Sky Garry and Shotbomber toys!

I had to glue the decals down because, starting with Victory in 1989, Takara started using just the weakest adhesive on the laminated-paper sticker sheets.
