­US reseller Entertainment Earth has updated it's website with a new listing for Decepticon Banzaitron.  The figure is a recolour of the popular Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Blugeon figure.

 The description on the site reads as follows:-

Their war, our world! The massive robots in disguise can be anything-- a helicopter, a rescue vehicle, even your car-- and who knows what they're after? This is the individually packaged Revenge of the Fallen Banzai-Tron toy, which transforms into a tank. Inspired by the original Action Masters toy, plus he has a skull-like head in robot mode and is ready to fight! Measures about 6-inches long.

• Awesome armored tank transforms into obscure Decepticon warrior Banzai-Tron!
• Awesome sword and firing cannons!
• Awesome color scheme

S250 has posted an image on TwitPic of a recoloured Transformers Energon Downshift in ActionMaster Slicer's colour scheme! Could this be a store exclusive or an upcoming Botcon toy?  Time will tell.
