Review:
Gorilla Tron (aka Gorillatron and in Japan, Ray Kong) is a neat looking Zoid. It has huge spikes on its shoulders, lights on its back when you press a button and looks like it's wearing a hockey mask. The tri-colour scheme works well, especially with the green eyes. His legs and arms are flexible and move very nicely. The Gorilla Tron is definitely a fun Zoid to play with, and has some useful Blox/Z-Builder pieces too. The top of his head has a compartment for the pilot, and although it opens easily when you pull it, it's probably not going to fly open while carrying him upside down if you ever had the urge to do that. Gorilla Tron is highly flexible while remaining quite sturdy - nothing is going to fall off unless you pull it. He's not the largest Zoid, he's in the same class as the Missile Tortoise, but he's not that small either. Gorilla Tron is the only Zoid I have with flashing lights.
