Thanks! Been lurking for a couple of years. But finally decided to make my voice heard.

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.

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'?

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

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?

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.

I've got plenty of stuff to trade if anyone is interested.

It didn't occur to me until I read your post Diem, But Banzai-Tron is totally Unit 1
My want for him grew exponentially. I'm glad I have a Botcon hook-up this year. I needs him

I was never a fan of Banzai-tron; the ridiculousness of his name turned me off. But I know there's a lot of Banzai-fans (Banzaites? Banzains?) out there and I'm glad they're getting the figure they want.Firebird wrote:Diem wrote:I was fortunate enough to see this figure in person today (a shop I know of tends to acquire figures through...naughty means); he looks excellent, and close up he looks a little less like something out of Evangelion.
