- Bulo is a Mini-Con from the Aligned continuity family.
Bulo (バロ Baro) is Skywarp's Arms Micron partner.
Toys
Prime
- Available only with his larger partner Skywarp as part of the first wave of Japanese Prime toys, Bulo comes as an unassembled, unpainted "kit". He transforms from a bull-like robot into a shuriken/shield. He can also be converted into a drill, yet oddly his instructions fail to mention this screamingly obvious design intent.
- Bulo has multiple 5mm posts and peg-holes in his construction, allowing him to combine with other Arms Microns to form much bigger, more ridiculous weapons.
Notes
- Bulo's name is a shortening of "buffalo", accomplished by dropping the middle syllable from the Japanese spelling of the word, turning baffarō (バッファロー) into baro (バロ). It's a bit fiddly when it comes to being effectively translated, though: "バロ" is not actually pronounced "Bulo" (it'd be "Baro" or "Balo"), but the intention of the name is lost otherwise.
