Gran Arm is an Autobot Micromaster from the Operation Combination portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Have you seen me?

This character or person needs some sort of visual representation. If you have one, please replace this.

Gran Arm is the comedian of the Build Team, even going so far as to appear on human television shows with Digger for publicity stunts. He's not as physically strong as his teammates, but his incredible armor and tight-turning vehicle mode compensate for this shortcoming.

He also has an evil counterpart running around.
