curtosey of /toy/

i rather like the black repaint and the two toned sword.

not having bludgeon myself i cant tell if thats a new headsculpt but it looks pretty similar to me.
still probably wont get him. im gonna wait for darkmount

the head sculpt looks to be the same, but the colorscheme really brings out the details. Not bad for first repaint.

kinda has an odd Samurai Skeletor mech feel to it though.

I do enjoy the Bludgeon mold, so I'll probably get this guy too.

I like it. I guess I`ll skip out on Bludgeon, if for nothing else but the name.

I may have to break my No Repaints policy for this one.

HOLY DOG SH*T! And I was planning on getting Bludgeon, never mind him. I WANT BANZI-TRON!

Nice!

I must be the only one who thinks this repaint is ugly. Reminds me of the Incredible Crash Dummies for some reason.

Wow, Hasbro. Couldn't think of a new mold, huh? How low can you go, man. How. Low. Can. You. Go. I mean, I own a Bludgeon, and the only thing I had with him was the warped sword, but other than that, was an awesome figure an all, but I was expecting something boat-y. Other than that, the paint apps look alright. By the way, recent purchases for the day : ROTF Brawn.

I expected this. But that color scheme is really cool!
I may have to get this guy too.
I mean, Bludgeon is awesome, so black and green Bludgeon is mega awesome!

Looks cool but i already have bludgeon & i cant afford to buy repaint anymore.

I don't disagree, but why are you always right? Did you predict this repaint? I want proof!

Anyway, I'll be getting this one, definitely. This mold, along with Mindwipe, are my favorite ROTF figures.

I think it looks crap. All I see is Powerlinx Bludgeon. It's just Bludgeon with Banzaitron's color scheme. I'm good with my BotCon Banzaitron.

That is seriously cool, I think I'll get this guy.

I'm thinking Shattered Glass something-or-other. Not sure who though...

While I think I prefer my BotCon09 Banzai-Tron, this guy is looking pretty sweet. Especially with the blue bladed sword. I think these colors work well on this mold. I'm leaning towards buying it, but I am gonna have to see how it looks in person first.

For a minute there, I was thinking: "WTF: that's some BotCon exclusive! But wait... they did him last year"... That was when I realized my mistake.
Anyhow: nice colors, but a new head mold would have been nice...

Awesome!

I so want a blue repaint of this mold too.

Toys have to be repainted though. And if this was named Night Attack Bludgeon or something instead of being a different character, I wouldn't care about it. I'm tired of movie characters being repainted into themselves with the same color scheme. So in cases like this when a toy gets repainted, I'm happy he gets a new name.

If this gets released here and Bludgeon doesn't, I'll gladly pick Banzai-Tron up. Although I would rather have Bludgeon himself.

Usually I'd agree that repaints ought to be separate characters rather than "Stealth" or 'Night Attack" or whatever but in this case the mold is so distinctly Bludgeon-y and there are so few other samurai skeletons in Transformers that I feel that's the only thing that would work. I love this mold but I think the BotCon boat version is more suitable.

Well that looks great, I already broke my no-repaint rule once this year for Animated Electrostatic Soundwave(dammit, he's Soundblaster to me) & I do so love the ROTF Bludgeon mold so i'm sold. I would like to see the green a bit more neon in the final scheme though. When I think Banzai-tron I think "God that green is burning my retinas". Hope the bronze shows up being that shiny as well and not dull like i'm sure it will.

Blurrz is always right:

Blurrz's Shame

The colors actually look better then Bludgon, but "Banzi-Tron" is the most stupid name I have ever heard in my life. Does he grow little trees ???

Win, but he won't be "Banzai-tron" for me.
