Pral

Pral is an Autobot-allied Mini-Con from the Aligned continuity family.

Look, stop asking about how in the hell my arms can bend like this!

Pral (プラル Puraru) is pointy.

Or, to put it another way, a prick.

Fiction

Prime

Pral appears only in the Arms Micron Theater segment of the Japanese broadcasts.

Voice actor: Motoko Kumai (Japanese)

O.P. called in Pral, Jayz and Sais to help him when he and his friends were being harassed by the Decepticon Dark Matter Calibur trio. The three combined into the Cosmotector Super Combo Weapon, then unveiled their "true form" by powering up into a golden glowing version of the weapon and defeating the Dark Matter Calibur in a single blow.

I merely meant, Your Majesty, that you shine out like a shaft of gold, when all around is dark.

• Battle Shield Optimus (Multi-pack, 8-12 2012)
  • Energon crystal: SP Positro

This gold version of Pral, dubbed Pral G, was made available before the normal version. Like all pack-in Arms Microns, he comes unassembled and unpainted on a set of runners. Once assembled (and given stickers if you so choose), he transforms from a humanoid robot into a spear. He has numerous 5mm posts and holes that allow him to combine with other Arms Microns to form any number of "Combo Weapons" and "Super Combo Weapons", though he is specifically designed to form the top of the Cosmotector shield with Sais and Jayz.

Be very careful transforming this version of Pral. If his pelvis isn't folded/unfolded in exactly the right way, the clip can develop stress fractures and possibly break.

He is part of the Japanese ToysЯUs exclusive Battle Shield Optimus multi-pack, which includes a redeco of AM-01 Optimus Prime, a gray version of O.P., and gold versions of Pral and Sais.

• Pral (AMW Micron, 8-25-2012)
  • ID number: AMW-07
  • Energon crystal: SP Positro

The "normal" red version of Pral is an individually-sold Arms Micron, coming in a baggie as part of the second wave of "AMW" releases. As per usual, he comes unassabled on runners, and requires stickers for deco.

His packaging shows him being used by Arcee.

Notes

• The name "Pral" is basically "Prowl", which is spelled "プロール" (purōru) in katakana, given a vowel-sound change. He even has a head-crest similar to the original Prowl.
