Review: As a cost cutting measure Tomy used several
remolded kits in the Zoids Genesis line, it may not be obvious at
first but Bamburian is actually a heavily remolded Bear Fighter. The Tomy
engineers have done an excellent job making Bamburian feel like a brand
new Zoid and not just a simple remold.
Bamburian features a unique assortment of weaponry which includes a missile
launcher (called the Bamboo launcher) that fires all 11 missiles simultaneously
when the button is pushed, and a set of swords that fold out from each side
of Bamburian's shoulder and can be launched off on wheels. Bamburian still
retains Bear Fighters "upright mode" feature and is the only new wind-up
kit released in the Genesis line.
In the anime Bamburian is piloted by a man named Ron who holds a deep fascination
with planet Zi's past. He is a bit of a mystery but makes himself useful
on numerous occasions and provides the team with the Zoids Power Up Parts.
Overall Bamburian is a very unique kit with a lot of features and no real
flaws, highly recommended.
