Some photos leaked of what appears to be a BotCon exclusive repaint of Energon Mirage into Banzai-Tron, a G1 Actionmaster. If true, I believe this will be the first Banzai-Tron toy since the original. I think the stock head makes for a good Banzai-Tron head.
While I have no real attachment to the Banzai-Tron character, I am really digging the possibility of this being him! Leaked pictures: Original Energon Mirage mold: Original G1 Actionmaster Banzai-Tron: |

It's very possible, but I'm curious how it will fit in with the other Botcon exclusives. Is it going to be a freebie or part of one of the souvenir sets?

Aren't the freebies usually deluxes? Has the freebie ever been a figure as large as Energon Mirage? |

Ooooh, I'm liking that guy. I never got Energon Mirage, but I've always wanted him.

The general consensus is that Leozack is going to be the freebie, so that would make an add-on you would have to buy. I think people are thinking that due to the freebie usually being a repaint of a figure already in the boxed set? This is all hearsay on my part as I have never been to a BotCon yet.
Aren't the freebies usually deluxes? Has the freebie ever been a figure as large as Energon Mirage? Also, Leozack and Skyquake could be a 2-pack like Laserbeak and Buzzsaw from Botcon 2006. Granted, Laserbeak and Buzzsaw were also basics and the Starscream redecos are deluxes. He's actually pretty cool. Bit of a shellformer, but otherwise good.

I actually got a G1 Banzai-Tron in the mail today.
