Kapow! Toys Presents - Hunt for the Decepticons Banzaitron

[mrdecepticonleader]

his he avaable anywere in the uk cos i haven seen him at all also which would you recomend as a figure blugdeon or this plz reply i need to no!

[Kapowtoys]

@mrdecepticonleader

We've got him in stock, as have a number of other online retailers as well as Tesco and Sainsburys. Personally I'd go with Bludgeon as I think the Botcon Banzaitron is a better representation of the figure.

[mantis999999999]

Gotta disagree with you on the green knee bits, I think they pop in a good way. As a toy fan and not a character fan, I passed on bludgeon but couldn't pass Banzaitron by. The way the neon green glows against his dark deco pulled me in! My only complaint is the lack of an eye detail paint ap. I'm going to fix that by installing LEDs, but I do wish they had taken the time for just that one app.

[Kapowtoys]

@mantis999999999

Oo that sounds amazing! I can see why people have been divided between this and Bludgeon based of the colour scheme.

[OverlordLS]

Not nearly as cool as Bludgeon, although that's partly due to Bludgeon's legacy. By no means a bad figure, but I'll stick with my mechanical nihilistic zombie samurai.

[Kapowtoys]

@OverlordLS

I picked up the Botcon one and this guy went straight back in the box lol

[RodimusMinor1987]

Mine arrived in the post today but I was at work so i missed him so I have to got to the post office tomoz to pick him up.

[Kapowtoys]

@RodimusMinor1987

Enjoy dude!

[capmodesty]

I like Banzaitron, but his shiny plastic feet broke off within 20 minutes of fiddling with him and I couldn't find another for the £10 Sainsburys had him. How is that plastic on yours? I love the figure but couldn't justify £20 for something likely to break on me quicker than a G2 Slingshot

[Kapowtoys]

@capmodesty

Ouch! Dude that sucks! Contact Hasbro, they *may* be able to swap him out.

[Hennypenny8888]

Where can you get this in the UK?

[Kapowtoys]

@Hennypenny8888

We've got it in stock and he's just starting to show his face in Tesco now.

[Geekpoo1]

XD I might have a trip to Tesco to see what they have!

[Geekpoo1]

I'd buy them off your site if I had a bank account cos I spend whatever I get on Transformers and games I recently got Dead Rising 2 so funny

[Kapowtoys]

@Geekpoo1

Not far off what I spend my money on!

[Geekpoo1]

Great review man and do you know the knew wave of Power Core Combiners e.g Icepick and them are out at tesco i think

[Kapowtoys]

@Geekpoo1

Yeah saw them a few weeks ago, look awesome! We've just got them in stock as well!

[RodimusMinor1987]

We Never got Long Haul but we got Payload, We Never Got Dirge but we got Jetblade so we might get him

[Kapowtoys]

@RodimusMinor1987

I believe he's been confirmed. We normally get the first few waves of a new line without fail.

[Strife159Highloch]

I want a transformer with ACTUAL treads for once. I know there's a few, but I just wish they'd do it with everybody.

[Kapowtoys]

@Strife159Highloch

It would be nice but it would affect the transformation so much.

[ElekTr1C]

@Strife159Highloch go for BWTM rampage :D he has does

[jamesshadowlordtv]

blud gean is weird even for a decepticon he looks like he would be in a animated seires

[Kapowtoys]

@jamesshadowlordtv

Hopefully one day he will be!

[CommanderPonds223]

@kapowtoys if your gonna have so many you must really like him

[Kapowtoys]

@CommanderPonds223

I love the character. Furman's depiction of him in the Marvel stories back in the day was simply wonderful!

[CommanderPonds223]

@kapowtoys its bludeons stealth version thats my opinion

[Kapowtoys]

@CommanderPonds223

That's good! I'm going to end up with so many Bludgeons on my shelf before this year is out!

[haerdalis84]

Hi King, any chance you could say when are the august preorders (LC SS, Voy Banz, HA Jazz) going to be shipped out to those that ordered them?

[Kapowtoys]

@haerdalis84

I'm not 100% (I don't work from the office) but they should be fairly soon as they are starting to see releases around the US now. The guys in the office are normally very good at keeping you upto date if you are on the mailing list.

[Kapowtoys]

@DrPain44

LOL. Banzaitron, badly dubbed.

[TFPunk]

Dun have Bludgeon and I'm definitely getting this awesome figure

[Kapowtoys]

@TFPunk

It's a nice repaint. Was having another play with him today, very nice.

[TheMrGunFire99]

banzai-tron all the way

[Kapowtoys]

@TheMrGunFire99

And ftw. Still want the Botcon one though...

[Glyvxx]

At least retool the head.

[Kapowtoys]

@Glyvxx

It would have been nice. Something more angular.

[euklbeuklb]

@Kapowtoys when is he ment to come out

[Kapowtoys]

@euklbeuklb

He's wave 2 so probably in the next month.

[TheAhahahahahaha]

I thought his two swords could combine with the barrel of the tank into a staff?

[Kapowtoys]

@TheAhahahahahaha

They can combine! Awesome addition!



[Oasime]

@kapowtoys

Cool. I'll check it out

[Kapowtoys]

@Oasime

And the eye colour is black on this guy!

[Oasime]

As I am in the uk I never got this :(

But tbh I like this version more. Is his eyes yellow or is it the light?

[Kapowtoys]

@Oasime

I think we still have some Bludgeons in stock for around £30 if you are interested? Head on over to the site and check it out! I'll have to check the eye colour when I get home to let you know.

[NewMoney527]

that look horrible

[Kapowtoys]

@NewMoney527

LOL Very succienctly put!

[MegabyteUnleashed]

Though BanzaiTron has a nicer coloruscheme in Alt mode, the robot mode kills it for me. Gonna be looking for the original Bludgeon me thinks.

[Kapowtoys]

@MegabyteUnleashed

I think we'll have both at AA mate.

[MegabyteUnleashed]

@Kapowtoys Seriously, just bring an armada/Universe Unicron and a titanium scourge with the other things I've mentioned on your reviews and I'll just give you a bag of cash and be done with it.

[Kapowtoys]

@MegabyteUnleashed

Well....

[MegabyteUnleashed]

@Kapowtoys *Grabs bag and starts stuffing money into ti*

[Eucep]

If I got this one, I'd be very tempted to just paint his face white again.

[Kapowtoys]

@Eucep

Lol, I have to say the repainted head is one of my favourite parts because the detail isn't obscured by paint.

[thecollector75]

i have this guy on the way to me, i was hoping for a new head sculp but hey ho , he still looks cool and just need bludgeon to go with him now lol

[Kapowtoys]

@thecollector75

Weirdly, the different paint apps make this head seem very different. Enjoy him bud, especially if you don't have the Bludgeon!

[Kapowtoys]

@Megatron118

I'd be hard pressed to say that this guy doesn't do as good a job as Bludgeon. Just those damn neon green thighs!

[smsno1]

this channell is just going to make me poor.

[Kapowtoys]

@smsno1

I feel for you.... how's Barricade btw?

[smsno1]

@Kapowtoys

Not arrived yet........................

Not been the best buying experience so far. Arrive monday with any luck!

[Kapowtoys]

@smsno1

Ah bugger. Sorry to hear that dude.

[smsno1]

@Kapowtoys

No mate. After a bit of a misunderstanding, everything is all sunny side up now.

[Kapowtoys]

@smsno1

Good good. Hope he's worth the wait buddy. 

[DrewsiferXXX]

hmm I like bludgeon better... but if you can't get him...

[Kapowtoys]

@DrewsiferXXX

We will never know why Hasbro didn't realease him in the UK.

[FullMetalLuffy]

@Kapowtoys

i have a sneaking suspicion that rather then release the NEST voyagers and then these repaints in the uk they just went for waiting and releasing the repaints under the guise of a new line. it's no secret that ROTF is nearly deadwieght over here thanks to all the oversaturation and lack of new stuff, and those early repaints of ratchet, prime and ironhide are still clogging up shelves...

you watch now one of the next HFTD voyagers is a mindwipe repaint :D

[Kapowtoys]

@FullMetalLuffy

Rumour is that Mindwipe will be the basis for the HFTD Strafe that got announced recently.

[maxustech12]

cool review and repaint is nice

[Kapowtoys]

@maxustech12

Cheers dude!

[vonrojas]

Thank God I am getting my hands on a Bludgeon as I want both of these guys...They are just awesome looking

[Kapowtoys]

@vonrojas

AA buddy. You can fit these guys in a suitcase ;) 

[Rex4441]

I'm not getting this figure. Bludgeon is enough for me!

[Kapowtoys]

@Rex4441

I wouldn't have if I didn't have him to review, but I'm really glad I did now.

[FullMetalLuffy]

sigh..now i need this one too. the extra bits of paint on the sword bits is what sells it....guess bludgeon is just going to have to have banzaitron as his brother/clone/doppelganger/unc­le....uncle?

oh and where are my manners! another excellent review! :D

[Kapowtoys]

@FullMetalLuffy

Cheers Luffy! The swords get this guy an extra star in my eyes. 

[anderson1939]

Awesome review man , I like Bludgeon colors better , but none the less I really love the robot mode 4 Banzaitron . Got 2 get him some time atfer Botcon !

[Kapowtoys]

@anderson1939

Excellent. I'm glad to see the love for this guy as he was fairly widely decried by the fan base.

[superomegaprimemk2]

Neon green most definely spoils this repaint

[Kapowtoys]

@superomegaprimemk2

It works on the tank, just not on the bot mode. Odd really.

[ShadowSuperion]

This dudes got a sick Paint Scheme, Im deffanitly gonna pick him up 5/5

[Kapowtoys]

@ShadowSuperion

Good man!

[vistar411]

....I wonder if he's the brother of Brawl..... awesome review!

[Kapowtoys]

@vistar411

Knowing the ROTF bios, he could well be!
