	: Part of the second assortment of [[Gacha]] Arms Microns appearing around [[August]] of 2012, Dado transforms from a robotic snapping turtle into a shield. He has multiple [[5 mm post\|5 mm posts and holes]] as part of the line-wide Arms Micron gimmick, allowing him to be combined with other Microns to make larger and more ridiculous weapons.		: Part of the second assortment of [[Gacha]] Arms Microns appearing around [[August]] of 2012, Dado transforms from a robotic snapping turtle into a shield.

	: Dado comes in two different colorations. Unlike the prior Decepticon Gacha Microns, Dado has two colors of plastic per type... "1" has a yellow shell with grey limbs and head, while "2" has a grey shell with yellow limbs and head. So yeah, two colors of a single-sprue figure with some parts swapping, as some fans have done with [[Gobu]] and [[Zado]].		: Dado comes in two different colorations.
