Have you seen me?

This character or person needs some sort of visual representation. If you have one, please replace this.
Bogu (ボグ Bogu) is the Arms Micron partner of Gaia Unicron
Toys
Prime
- Available only with his larger partner Gaia Unicron in Japan, Bogu comes as an unassembled, unpainted "kit". He transforms from a rocky-looking robotic mole into a weapon resembling one of Unicron's spikes; in fact, he is designed to replace Unicron's left forearm, which then combines with his right forearm to give Unicron a much more show-accurate look. Bogu 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".
Notes
- Bogu's name has a rather interesting background. It's probably based on the Japanese name for a mole, モグラ (mogura), but it also harkens back to Unicron's Mini-Con in Armada, Dead End, whose Japanese name was "Bug" (バグ Bagu).
- Bogu's name was first erroneously applied to Baru. Given the rather funny way Japanese is treated, it could have worked either way.
- The Energon Crystal type is not listed on his larger partner's box-back, unlike pretty much every other pack-in Micron ever. The Crystal type instead comes from the online "Arms Up Missions" game.
