GRIM! Where have you been you big Scottish monkey? Any plans to make it down to Brum this year?

NIM! Welcome to Seibertron, be advised:

SEIBERTRON CONTAINS NUTS!!!

On the Subject of Banzaitron, oh yes, I will so be getting that. Passed on the boxed set this year, although I may break and buy Thunderclash on the secondary market, but I'm loving all of the add ons. It'll be an expensive few weeks of scouring ebay after the con.

The inscription written on the side of the alt mode states in Autobot Cybertronian from the 2007 movie: "to the victor go the profits".

Pretty cool.

Cool but still would like to see Energon Divebomb as Banzai-tron

Bloody hell! How the devil are you WLord? Still sporting the beard?

I was intending on hit Brum but things have come up. Mostly real life. Partly that I don't care about our Fav Transforming Robots as much as I used to.

Hell, I intenfd in selling most of my collection soon!

How the hell are you doin'?

Im really liking this guy. Is there anyway to get ahold of this guy for those of us who aren't going? besides ebay?

Wow, that looks fantastic!

I think it looks absolutely phenomenal in those colours, makes me sort of wish i was going to BotCon...maybe I might be able to have a friend pick it up for me if I can get some spare cash set aside.

I hope they fixed the loose leg problem with that mold.

Wow, great repaint!

I think that is officially the first botcon figure this year that's actually made me happy

I kind of agree (though I didn't dislike the Urban Camo Backguild repaint).

Love the new color schemes. But aren't you guys sick of repaints?

Botcon has never done a new mold before so why start now. Repaints have been part of TF's since the very beginning as well. If you didn't get used to it then, I don't know how you're not getting it now?

A very nice redeco of Energon Mirage.

News Credits: 97 · by **Savage** » Wed May 20, 2009 2:23 am

I always loved Banzaitron as a kid, even if he was just an Action Master. Having a transforming Banzaitron is the answer to a prayer almost a decade old!

That deco is outrageously good.

I've pretty much decided this guy is my favorite of the 08 exclusives.

Back in my youth, Banzaitron was one of my favorites. I think it was his lack of a defined alt mode (since he was an ActionMaster only character), his badass look, his swordgun, and his totally pimping color scheme. It just left a lot of room for my imagination to flesh him out. For some reason, his head reminded me of Galvatron, so I decided he should be an upgraded/mutated/reformatted version of an older 'con (forget who i decided he came from) he led my Decepticon army for a while. Other times he was an ancient Decepticon leader who had been revived, or even a herald of Unicron.

I'm reserving Banzaitron a prominant place on my Classics Universe shelf.
