Transformers’ Banzai-Tron Coming in August

Hasbro digs deep into the Transformers Generation One history and brings back Banzai-Tron this August*. Originally an Action Masters toy in 1990, this looks to me like a Transformers Voyager Bludgeon toy** repaint with new parts. That’s not a terrible thing, just something that jumped out at me as soon as I saw the Banzai-Tron pic. He certainly doesn’t look like the classic Banzai-Tron (Teletraan 1).

“Originally a non-transforming Action Master, the evil Banzai-Tron is back! The upcoming goes from tank to warrior and back again, and comes complete with a sword, firing rockets, and an awesome skull-like face under his helmet. Don’t let yourself miss this amazing robot in disguise. Pre-order yours now!”
