Zangetsu


 * Zangetsu is a Sparkbot and servant of Primus in the Kiss Players continuity.

Zangetsu is one of the three Sparkbots. Zangetsu can fly, communicate telepathically and transport others through time when activated by a kiss.

Zangetsu transforms from a flying, glowing sphere into a robotic hawk.

Kiss Play Position
In the year 2006 or 2007, Zangetsu, Angela and Stardust suddenly appeared in the sky above the "Kiss Players" singing group at the Brave Maximus Fortress concert of their world tour. The Sparkbots introduced themselves to the performers telepathically and insisted that the three humans in the group kiss them.

When Atari Hitotonari, Shao-Shao Li and Marissa Faireborn complied, they were engulfed by a bright light and transported back to the Sherman Dam in the year 1985.

Toys
Announced in the first "Transformers Kiss Play: Transformers News Center" radio show of 2007, Zangetsu and the other two Sparkbots will be released in a three-pack that includes a music CD starring the "Kiss Players" voice actresses. Timing and means of their sale have not yet been disclosed, though it is likely that the set will be an e-Hobby exclusive.

Zangetsu is a redeco of the Eggbird mold.
