Toys

Prime

  • Gob (Arms Micron, 2012)
Gob transforms from a robot cobra into a hand-held chainsaw-bladed axe-thing weapon. He has multiple 5mm posts and holes as part of the Arms Micron play pattern, allowing him to be combined with other Mini-Cons to form bigger and more ridiculous weapons. He was available in "gashapon" toy-capsule machines in Japan, and came in either black or purple.

Notes

  • Gob's name is a shortening of and adding of an accent to "cobra", accomplished by dropping the last character from the Japanese spelling of the word, turning kobura (コブラ) into gobu (ゴブ). The Japanese word does not have a long "o" sound as it does in English, and Gob's name consequently does not.
