Arms Micron Theater

B.2, R.A., and Arc are ready to make an announcement... and are properly horrified by the appearance of the gigantic Gari Robo-kun robot behind them. Because holy crap. Mystery Insect Transformation! Forest of the Spider Woman!

Toys

Transformers

"I fear no man. But that thing? ... It scares me."
  • Gari Robo-kun Soda (2012)
  • Accessories: Stick sword, shield, popsicle
An oddity among Transformers, this officially-licensed toy turns from a life-sized "soda" blue popsicle into a horrifying fusion of treat company Gari's mascot and Optimus Prime. His mouth is huge. In robot mode, he can be armed with the popsicle stick, now a sword, and a shield. He can also hold a mini version of his alt mode popsicle. His fist holes, and his accessories, use 5mm pegs.
He comes in a resealable wrapper plastered with licensing information and a picture of Gari's nominal mascot shaking hands with Prime Optimus Prime. Does this place him in the Prime universe? Only time will tell.
