Lei Zhenzi
From MediaWiki
- Lei Zhenzi is an Autobot-allied deity from the Nezha portion of the Cyberverse continuity family.
Lei Zhenzi (雷震子 Léi Zhènzǐ, "Thunder Son") is a Chinese deity, a powerful "thunder wielder" who fights alongside his friend and fellow deity Nezha to protect the human world.
Normally these threats are of the demonic variety, but with the Decepticons now making their move on Earth, Lei Zhenzi has gained the ability to assume a Cybertronian form, that of a sleek roadster-bot, in order to combat this new threat.
Fiction
Nezha: Transformers cartoon
Lei Zhenzi 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?)
- Part of the Chinese-centric Nezha: Transformers toyline, Lei Zenzhi is a roughly Scout-sized figure that converts from robot mode to sports car of undetermined, probably-made-up model and back, with a transformation based on the Prime Legion-class Knock Out toy. He features slide-out wings on his back, and while he doesn't include any weapons, his hands can grasp 3mm accessories.
- This toy is only available in a 3-pack with Nezha 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
- Lei Zhenzi (more commonly written "Leizhenzi" in Latin characters, as it is not a surname with a given name) is a character from the Ming-era 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.
