Character description from "tech spec": 
To call Banzai-Tron pragmatic would be an understatement.  His spark contains a deep-seated desire to acquire wealth.  To that end, he has recently taken on the study of an ancient Cybertronian martial art form known as Crystalocution, which focus on attacking an enemy's metal fracture points.  So practical is this Decepticon warrior that he has decided to forgo the more mystical aspects of learning the art, and instead has focused only on its deadly methodology.  When criticized about this, he curtly responds, "There is no profit in spirituality."  In gunboat mode, Banzai-Tron can travel at speeds up to 260 KTS.  His primary weapons are four missile launchers.  the two launchers on the front can double as energy blasters.  He also carries four short-range rockets with adjustable power settings that can be set from stun to disintegrate.  Sometimes he becomes too focused on profit and fails to see the larger scope of events around him.
