Hands-On: Banzai Aqua Tech Transmorpher

Post by isoaker » Fri Jun 03, 2011 4:30 pm

Recently acquired a Banzai Aqua Tech Transmorpher. In some ways, this one seems to borrow some styling from the Super Soaker Shot Blast and Nerf Guns by having interchangeable accessories, but all the available accessories come in a single package. With the 4 parts provided, one can create a total of 11 blaster combinations. Unlike the Shot Blast, one of the accessories actually does change/improve the performance of the base blaster. That said, this piston-based-blaster's base performance seems lacking; the attachment of the "Long Range Blasting Barrel" increases full range by ~5 feet, but the output and power available are minimal for a blaster of this size.

Pictures of the Banzai Aqua Tech Transmorpher now posted. Full review to come...

Enjoy the pics for now!

3mL pump volume? That seems unrealistically small for a piston gun.

I got a Banzai Cyclone Blaster once... I might as well have used a squirt pistol.

Banzai Aqua Tech Transmorpher review posted!

General thoughts; concept is good, but size and build really make this blaster best suited for the younger water warrior.

125mL reservoir is actually roughly average for a blaster of that size (referring to the Transmorpher's base blaster without all the add-on attached). It's the 3mL-squirt per stroke that got me. Only a little better than a small squirt pistol. That said, this is really a blaster that is aimed to get younger kids interested or for some light role-playing where the point isn't to get too wet; just forget about it for any decent-scale water fights.
