	:~~Available only with his larger partner~~ [[~~Breakdown~~ (~~WFC~~)~~#Voyager Class~~\|~~Breakdown~~]] ~~in Japan~~, Zamu ~~comes as an unassembled, unpainted "kit". He~~ transforms from a rhinoceros-like robot into Breakdown's massive hammer weapon. He is covered in [[5 mm post\|5mm post]]s and holes as part of the [[Arms Micron]] gimmick, allowing him to combine with other Microns to form bigger and more ridiculous "Combo Weapons" and "Super Combo Weapons".		: Part of the fourth wave of [[TakaraTomy]] ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)\|Prime]]'' toys, Zamu transforms from a rhinoceros-like robot into Breakdown's massive hammer weapon. He is covered in [[5 mm post\|5mm post]]s and holes as part of the [[Arms Micron]] gimmick, allowing him to combine with other Microns to form bigger and more ridiculous "Combo Weapons" and "Super Combo Weapons".

			: He was only available packed in with the Voyager [[Breakdown (WFC)#Voyager Class\|Breakdown]] toy, coming out of the package as a bunch of unpainted parts on runners, like a model kit. His extra deco is provided by customer-applied foil [[sticker]]s on a sheet he shares with Breakdown.
