Apparently, this movie was also known as "Decapitron" in some territories.
It had an awesome poster.

I haven't seen this movie, but that poster makes me want to.

Well yes and no. What I mean is, this film was released to video apparently in some foreign countries under the title DECAPITRON, however the poster has very little to do with the ELIMINATORS movie.

Go there, I've got both the front and back cover for "Decapitron". You can read about DECAPITRON, it was actually a different film written by the same writers, but it was never made, film company went backrupt. I'm not sure why ELIMINATORS got the poster and title in some foreign markets though.

Version I saw was "Decrapatron".

Nothing is more beautiful than nothing.

Cute.

North American VHS is titled ELIMINATORS, but it would be neat to see the DECAPITRON version.

"Decapitron" was eventually added to the PUPPET MASTER series, as a new puppet (parts 4 & 5). A welcomed character, course we never seen him again after 5.

Funny you should say that. The original idea for the film, Decapitron, along with the character of Decapitron that was included in the Puppet Master heads, was called so because he had interchangeable heads. But, a couple years ago, I had an electronic dance/metal band, we wound up calling ourselves Decapitron, and we decided that he was a robot that cut off people's heads.
