Getsuei


 * Getsuei is an Autobot in the Generation 1 continuity family.

Getsuei is the Trainbots' "night fighter". When the lights get low, Getsuei really shines (ha ha), able to sneak up and take out opponents easily even under the worst visibility conditions. On the other hand, he's not so good in the daytime. In fact, he tends to get a little sluggish and daydreamy when the sun is out.

Headmasters

 * Getsuei (Trainbot, 1987)
 * Japanese ID number: C-126

 * Raiden (Gift set, 1987)


 * The entire Trainbot team was sold both as individuals and in a six-bot Raiden gift-set.

Zone

 * Getsuei (Trainbot, 1990)
 * Japanese ID number: C-355


 * The Trainbots were re-released during Zone in new packaging, and only as individuals, never in a box set. The toys are identical to their original Headmasters incarnations.

Trivia

 * Though it is a little tricky to tell the true meaning of Gestuei's name since it is "spelled" in phonetic katakana rather than kanji, the most likely translation to English is "Moonlight".


 * The Trainbots are all originally Diaclone toys, which came in two different color schemes. It's also worth noting that there are several mold differences between the Diaclone and Transformers versions, though Getsuei really doesn't change much at all. The Transformers releases also lost the Dialcone pilots (of course) and the little plastic tracks for the trains to ride on.
