Nezha

This article is about the deity. For the franchise, see Nezha: Transformers (franchise).

Nezha is a deity from the Nezha portion of the Cyberverse continuity family.

No man alive will come to you with another tale to tell, but you know that we shall meet again if your mem'ry serves you well.

Nezha (哪吒 Nézhā) is a young deity from China. He is armed with the Qiankun Circle and a Fire-tipped Spear and can fly through the air with the Wind Fire Wheels at his feet. In times of need, he can also take the form of a Cybertronian alongside his allies Xiaolongnü, Lei Zhenzi and Tu Xingsun to take on the forces of Shiji.

Fiction

Nezha: Transformers cartoon

Nezha was obviously intended to be the central character in the Nezha cartoon. However, despite many episodes having been scripted and even animated, none have actually aired, and may never do so. Hopefully some day information about the contents of these episodes will make it out, but we're not holding our breath.

Toys

Nezha: Transformers

Best notify my next of kin, this wheel shall explode!

• Nezha Power-Up Pack (Ultra Class, 2019)
  • Release date: December 12 2019
  • Accessories: Qiankun Circle, Fire-tipped Spear, Nezha figurine

The (obvious) first release in the Nezha: Transformers toyline, this robotic version of Nezha is comparable to the Cyberverse "Ultra" class toys, converting from a Nezha-styled robot into a sports car decorated with his traditional livery. His Qiankun Circle and Fire-tipped Spear accessories can combine and mount on his car-mode roof.

In robot mode, the torso opens up to hold the 1.5-inch tall semi-posable "human" Nezha figure that comes with the set. The figurine can also stay in there in vehicle mode. His accessories can be mounted on the robot-mode back using the slots in the windscreen used to keep the car door panels tabbed into place.

Care should be taken with the accessories, as they are peach-colored plastic painted over almost entirely in yellow. While the mounting tabs and pegs are not painted, every other surface is, thus risking paint scraping/gouging if you force the accessories into his hard-plastic hands too roughly.

• Nezha Team Collection (3-pack, 2023?)

This smaller figure of Nezha's robot form once again transforms into a souped-up sports car. It has a similar transformation scheme to the larger toy, but lacks several of the smaller, more fiddly steps. The figure includes no accessories, but the hands can grasp 3mm post weapons.

This toy is only available in a three-pack with fellow heroes Lei Zhenzi and Tu Xingsun, though further details on its release are currently very scarce. It was seemingly not released alongside the rest of the Nezha product in 2019, but years later some would (briefly) show up on Chinese import site of questionable merch Temu.

Notes

• Nezha's appearance is based on his character design in China Central Television's 2003 The Legend of Nezha cartoon.
• According to Wikipedia, Nezha is "also regarded as the tutelary god of many professional drivers, like trucks, taxis, or sightseeing bus drivers". Well, that's pretty fitting, isn't it?
