The dojo only appears in the Arms Micron Theater segments of the Japanese broadcast of Prime.

Wuji and B.H. were sparring at the dojo when Wuji cut the training short to tell some jokes. Explosive Sword Transformation! Wheeljack and Dreadwing O.P. later led a group of Arms Microns there to ask the dojo's master about the secret behind weapon linking, but he responded that there was no secret to it: it was simply a matter of combining. The Microns then combined into the Japanese-inspired Samurai Sword Mode. Recovery Transformation! Battle in the Metropolis Underground O.P. visited again in search for advice on how to defeat Gora II, and the master prophetically told him an answer would soon reveal itself. Once it did, O.P. was inspired to create the Matrix Double Saber inside the dojo. Toxic Flame Transformation! Hardshell, King of the Insects

Notes

• In order to give off a traditional Japanese feel, the name of the dojo is written in kanji, the writing system used for native words, rather than the katakana script normally used for foreign words such as "Arms Micron". "Arms Micron" is written in ateji, using kanji that match the words' pronunciation while ignoring their actual meaning. Conversely, "Weapon Link" employs kanji with the right meaning but instead has accompanying furigana specify that they're to be pronounced "Weapon Link" instead of the proper Japanese reading (Buki Gattai).
