- Zamu is a Decepticon Mini-Con from the Prime portion of the Aligned continuity family.
Zamu (ザム) is Breakdown's Arms Micron partner. Not the excitable sort, there's not a lot else to say about him, other than he hangs out with Gra pretty much all the time.
Fiction
Prime cartoon
- Voice actor: Atsushi Imaruoka (Japanese)

Until a mysterious voice boomed through the studio, scaring them all... Phantom Transformation! Mind-Diving The voice belonged to Gora, who quickly asserted leadership of the Decepticon Microns.

Zamu later helped Gora form some Combo Weapons in a vain (and unsuccessful) attempt at impressing Arc. Strategy Transformation! Unravel the Sinister Thread!

Toys
Prime
- War Breakdown (Voyager, 2012-06-30)
- Set ID number: AM-12
- Micron ID number: M-12
- Energon Crystal: AP Natural
- Available only with his larger partner 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 5mm posts 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".
- Hellflame Zamu (Promotional Micron, 2012-07-28)
- Energon Crystal: AP Gōsei
- A clear-red version of Zamu was given away as a campaign bonus with the purchase of 3000 yen's worth of Transformers at Japanese ToysЯUs stores on July 28 of 2012. This version is almost completely devoid of stickers, having only the small faction symbol sticker that goes under his Energon Crystal.
Notes
- The genesis of Zamu's name is currently unclear. One possibility is that it's an intended throwback to Generation 1 Ramhorn, called Amhorn (アムホーン Amuhōn) in Japan, with the "za-" based on サイ (sai), Japanese for rhinoceros. It's not watertight, but you can't have everything.
Zamu Combinations
Named combination weapons including Zamu:
- Arms Up Modes featuring Zamu
- Breakdown War Mode (in the Big Scissor)
- Jet Vehicon Jet Attack Mode (in the Debris Hammer)
