Tu Xingsun
From MediaWiki
- Tu Xingsun is an Autobot-allied deity from the Nezha portion of the Cyberverse continuity family.
Tu Xingsun (土行孙 Tǔ Xíngsūn, "Earth Grandson") is a Chinese deity, a mighty "earth mover" of incredible strength. He fights alongside his friend and fellow deity Nezha to protect humanity from all manner of threat.
Normally, those threats are demonic in nature, but now the Decepticons are involved as well! Now allied with the Autobots, Tu Xingsun has gained the ability to assume a Cybertronian form, a powerful drill tank.
Fiction
Nezha: Transformers cartoon
Tu Xingsun was intended to be a major 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
- Nezha Team Collection (3-pack, 2023?)
- Accessories: Drill
- Part of the Chinese-market Nezha: Transformers toyline, Tu Xingsun is a roughly Scout-sized figure (slightly larger than a Generations Core Class toy) that converts from robot mode to drill tank and back. In robot mode, the (non-spinning) drill can be removed from his back and attached over his right fist (and only his right fist, sorry) to be used as a weapon. His fists can grasp 3mm post accessories. While the figure features a generous amount of poseability, the leg movement is somewhat hampered by his immovable skirt armor.
- This toy is only available in a 3-pack with Nezha and Lei Zhenzi, 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
- Tu Xingsun (more commonly written "Tuxingsun" in Latin characters, as it is not a surname with a given name) is a character from the Chinese novel, Investiture of the Gods, although the Transformers incarnation of the deity is directly based on his depiction in the 2003 China Central Television cartoon, The Legend of Nezha.
