Gul is a Mini-Con from the Aligned continuity family.

Gul (グル Guru) is Starscream's Arms Micron partner. He rather takes after Starscream, being mouthy, ambitious and cowardly.


Fiction

Prime cartoon

Gul only appears as an actual character in the Arms Micron Theater segments of the Japanese broadcast of Prime. Technically, he appears in the main cartoon any time Starscream uses his... uh... but we're not going to bother with that and just focus on his individual exploits.
Voice actor: Satoshi Tsuruoka (Japanese)

Gul, Noji, Zamu and Gra had the Micron studio, with Gul taking command over the couch and declaring himself sub-leader of the Decepticon Arms Micron division. He got snippy with the other three for not shutting up and respecting his sub-leadership, but then Gora's voice boomed through the room, scaring them all... Phantom Transformation! Mind-Diving Offended, Gul began complaining loudly and at length about the interruption, not realizing that Gora was right behind him. Gora promptly taught the bird-bot a lesson in shutting up by having the other Arms Micron form the Energon Sniper Combo Weapon and blasting him with it. Counterattack Transformation! The Resurrection of Megatron!

Gul later participated in a Decepticon attack on the Autobot Arms Microns, which turned out to be a bad move since it interrupted one of Arc's idol moments. She took vengeance by combining with all of her friends (including two O.P.s) and sending the Decepticon Microns packing. Phantom Transformation! Skyquake Returns Once Gora then decided to marry Arc instead, Gul helped try to impress her by showing off Gora's various Combo Weapon forms, such as the Planet Bowgun. Strategy Transformation! Unravel the Sinister Thread! Gul and Zori were listening at the door during Gabu, Baru and Dai's introduction, but ran off when they combined into the Dark Matter Calibur and chopped said door in half. Adhesive Transformation!? Magnetic Tag Match He was also listening at the door during the Autobots' 20th episode celebratory party, this time joined by all the other Decepticon Microns. Duel Transformation! Quell Cliffjumper's Regrets

Available only with his larger partner Starscream in Japan, Gul comes as an unassembled, unpainted "kit". He transforms from an eagle-robot into a bladed plasma cannon. 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 Gul (Promotional Micron, 7-28-12)
    • Energon Crystal: AP Ion
A clear-red version of Gul was given away as a campaign bonus with the purchase of Megatron Darkness at AEON stores on that toy's release date, 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.
In Japan, "ion", his Energon Crystal type, is pronounced the same as "eon", and the store he was available at is "AEON", pronounced "eon"....


  • Arms Micron Ultimate 5 Piece Set D - Gravity Planet Bowgun (AMW set, 12-28-12)

A dark purple version of Gul, dubbed Gul B, was part of a five-piece gift set of Decepticon-allied Arms Microns, which also included Gora II E, Ida B, Noji B and Zori CS. All five can combine to form the Gravity Planet Bow-Gun.


Notes

  • Continuing the trend of Arms Microns getting weirdass names that are really hard to intuitively Romanize, Gul's name is pronounced as you would the last syllable in "eagle".
