- Razor-Sharp is a Decepticon Action Master partner from the toyline portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Banzai-Tron's Action Master partner is Razor-Sharp, a crab whose claws can tear through nearly any metallic substance. Razor-Sharp transforms into a semi-automatic rifle that fires exploding plasma-energy projectiles. He shares his partner's devious mindset.
Toys
Generation 1
- Banzai-Tron with Razor-Sharp (Action Master, 1990)
- Part of the third assortment of "basic" carded Action Masters, Razor-Sharp was only available with his larger partner Banzai-Tron. Razor-Sharp's spring-loaded transformation converts him from a robotic crab into a giant "semi-automatic gun" that can be held by any Action Master figure. He can be combined with any "normal" Action Master hand-held weapon in either mode, extending his cannon-barrel.
Notes
- Early promotional catalogs use a redecoed Pretender Octopunch as a stand-in for Razor-Sharp, along with a slightly different color scheme on his pal Banzai-Tron. Could this be what Razor-Sharp looked like before nucleon? Sucks to be him.
- Coincidentally enough, the crab legs for Razor-Sharp and Octopunch are interchangeable.
- The figure can stand in a more upright "sand-crab like" posture which reveals a small robotic face; Hirofumi Ichikawa's Transformers Chronicles fan-comic depicts him this way. This transformation has not been shown as being correct in any official source, effectively making it a fan-mode... a Hirofumi Ichikawa fan-mode, mind you, but still a fan-mode.
- Razor-Sharp's color scheme is that of the "Halloween Crab" (Gecarcinus quadratus). Yes, there actually is a crab in nature with a black carapace, purple pincers, and orange legs, Have a look for yourself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween_crab
