Toys
Prime
- Available only with his larger partner Skywarp as part of the first wave of Japanese Prime toys, Balo comes as an unassembled, unpainted "kit", his deco supplied by customer-applied foil stickers on a sheet shared with Skywarp. He transforms from a buffalo-like robot into a shuriken/shield. He also has a screamingly obvious drill mode which is not shown in his instructions, yet shown in official photography. Balo has multiple 5 mm posts and peg-holes in his construction, allowing him to combine with other Arms Microns to form much bigger, more ridiculous "Combo Weapons" and "Super Combo Weapons".
- Shadow Balo (Promotional Micron, 2012-04-28)
- Energon Crystal: AP Fake Dark
- A transparent-black version of Balo with a red Energon Crystal was made available on April 28 at participating Yamada Electronics, Yodobashi Camera, and Ideon stores with the purchase of 3000 yen's worth of Prime toys. Just like the pack-in version, Shadow Balo comes as an unassembled kit. Unlike the normal version, this one does not come with stickers save the single insignia sticker that goes under his Energon Crystal.
- Balo G (AMW Micron, 2012-07-28)
- Micron ID number: AMW-05
- Energon Crystal: AP Mud
- A gold-plastic redeco of Balo was available as part of the first wave of "AMW" Arms Microns, individually-bagged kits still on their runners. He comes with his own sticker sheet.
- Thundercracker (Deluxe, 2012-10-20)
- Energon Crystal: AP Mud
- Packaged only with Thundercracker, Silver Metal Balo is a silver-vac-metal version of the buffalo-Micron. He comes with a new set of stickers, placed in different spots than the other versions. Thundercracker was available exclusively at Yodabashi Camera, EIDON group stores, and Yamada Electronics.
- He's entirely covered in vac-metal. Including the tight clip-joints. Expect chipping.
Notes
- Baro's name is a shortening of the Japanese rendition of "buffalo" (バッファロー baffarō).
- Some stock photography of Balo, such as Soundwave's box-back image, shows him with rather pointier spikes on the insides of his drill-parts/legs, rather than the flattened stubs the actual toy has.
Balo Combinations
Named combination weapons including Balo:
- Arms Up Modes featuring Balo
- Arcee Crushgize Nebula Scythe (combined with Zori)
- Megatron Crusher Mode (combined with Gora)
- Megatron Darkness Mode
- Skywarp Attack Mode
