The Dark Matter Calibur is a Decepticon Mini-Con-formed weapon from the Prime portion of the Aligned continuity family.

Each pound weighs over ten thousand pounds.

Prime cartoon

The Dark Matter Calibur appears only in the Arms Micron Theater segment of the Japanese broadcasts.

Gabu, Baru and Dai arrived in the studio to show off their Super Combo Weapon mode, the Dark Matter Calibur. They then promptly cut large gashes in the set (scaring Guru and Zori who had been hiding behind the door). O.P., B.B., and R.A. arrived in their Star Saber mode to try and stop the carnage, but one swipe of the Calibur forced them to separate. Adhesive Transformation!? Magnetic Tag Match Still combined, Gabu, Baru and Dai then fell asleep, giving O.P., B.B., and R.A. a chance to plan a different strategy. Exploration Transformation! Escape from the Underground Once they woke up, they began demanding an apology from the three Autobot Microns, who refused and called in reinforcements in the form of Pral, Jaze, and Sise. These new arrivals combined into the Cosmotector Super Combo Weapon, which then powered up into a golden form and defeated the Dark Matter Calibur, causing Gabu, Baru, and Dai to separate.

After Dark Energon caused Gabu, Baru, and Dai to be reborn as "Shadow" versions of themselves, they no longer combined into the Dark Matter Calibur, but the Dark Energon Saber. Prophetic Transformation! A Message from Beyond Time

The Dark Matter Calibur is a massive sword formed by combining Arms Microns Gabu, Baru, and Dai, each available as unassembled, unpainted individual "kits" in the first assortment of Arms Micron Weapon series toys. Gabu and Baru form the sword's blade, while Dai forms the hilt.

While the trio were released at normal retail in late July of 2012, they were made available for sale early at TakaraTomy's booth at the Next Generation World Hobby Fair Summer '12 in Fukuoka, Japan, on June 30 and July 1. People who bought all three got a free Autobot Firebolt Clear Yellow Version as a bonus.

These Microns were later redecoed into the Dark Energon Saber.
