R.A. is a Mini-Con from the Aligned continuity family.
He'll totally bust you for drinking in the dorm.

R.A. (アルエ Aruei) is Ratchet's Arms Micron partner.


Fiction

Prime cartoon

R.A. only appears as an actual character in the Arms Micron Theater segments of the Japanese broadcast of Prime. Technically, he appears in the main cartoon any time Ratchet uses his blade(s), but we're not going to bother with that and just focus on his individual exploits.
Voice actor: Nobuo Tobita (Japanese){{#if: |, {{{2}}}}}

R.A., O.P., B.2 tried to transform. Perfect Transformation! Enter the Transformers B.2 and R.A. succeeded at transforming into robot mode, but O.P. still struggled. Dark Transformation! Dark Energon Once O.P. managed to make it to robot mode, he, R.A. and B.2 transformed together to form the Star Saber. Rescue Transformation! Fowler in Crisis

At some point, R.A. and B.2 got infected with Dark Energon... which mostly just made them lazy. Arc joked about their sloth, which annoyed them both. Infiltration Transformation! Battleship Nemesis Once free of the Dark Energon, the two decided to get back to being active... and mostly just went manic, with R.A. running around like a crazy person. Explosive Transformation! Spacebridge Battle

R.A. co-hosted a radio show with O.P. and B.2. He didn't have a lot to do there. Aerial Transformation! Skyquake He donned a party hat as part of the tenth-episode celebrations! Woo! All-Out Assault Transformation! The Pair of Assassins He, Arc and B.2 prepared for an announcement, when the studio walls fell away, and the colossal and huge-mawed Gari Robo-kun loomed over them from behind. Like all reasonable people, R.A. and the others were horrified. Mystery Insect Transformation! Forest of the Spider Woman!

During an attack from the Decepticon Arms Microns, he and the other Autobot Arms Microns (including two O.P.s) weapon-linked with Arc to form what she called "Fire Galaxy Super God Star Arc", who chased away the pesky attackers. Phantom Transformation! Skyquake Returns R.A., O.P. and B.2 formed the Star Saber again to stop the Dark Matter Calibur Microns from wreaking havoc in the studio, but were easily swatted away by the Decepticon sword. Adhesive Transformation!? Magnetic Tag Match The three tried to come up with a new strategy while the Dark Matter Calibur trio was asleep, but only ended up listing off their standard Arms Micron abilities. Exploration Transformation! Escape from the Underground

R.A. attended the twentieth-episode celebration party as well, which for all intents and purposes was the same as the last one except he got to wear a panda hat this time. Duel Transformation! Quell Cliffjumper's Regrets After that, he, O.P. and B.2 finally bested the Dark Matter Calibur... by getting Pral, Jayz and Sais to do it for them. Friendship Transformation! My Bulkhead They went on to make mapo energon on their very own cooking show, Cooking Arms, where R.A. was responsible for cutting up the tofu and spring onions. It all ended in disaster when they tried to use the Star Saber to cut open an energon cube and destroyed the entire set. Forbidden Transformation!? Ratchet's Strongest Legend? R.A. and O.P. greeted B.2, Arc and B.H. when they came back from playing with their partners' human friends, and were shocked to hear that Arc had chosen Fowler over Jack. One-Shot Transformation! Optimus Prime VS Megatron

When the Matrix of Leadership ended up in the Arms Microns' possession, R.A. suddenly developed a connection to the relic and began channeling its power, turning bright blue and combining with it to form the Matrix Saber. The whole thing also gave him quite an ego, causing him to praise his own appearance and assume his friends wanted his autograph. Rivals Transformation! Birth of the Strongest Combination After his personality returned to normal, R.A. ran into four differently-colored versions of himself calling themselves the "Shining R.A. Corps". Introducing themselves as the hot-blooded red commander "R.A. R", the cool green strategist "R.A. GR", the strong yellow combatant "R.A. Y" and the purple elite scout "R.A. P", the Corps all combined into the Rainbow Shield and invited the plain ol' R.A. to fight alongside them. He refused because they were kind of annoying. Sealed Transformation! The Mystery of Orion Pax

Toys

Prime

Mack the Me.
  • Ratchet (Deluxe, March 31 2012)
    • Set ID number: AM-04
    • Micron ID number: M-04
    • Energon Crystal: HP Pure
Available only with the Japanese release of Ratchet, R.A. transforms into a blade-weapon modeled after Ratchet's scalpel-swords (which were omitted from the Japanese toy). Like all pack-in Arms Microns, he is an unpainted, unassembled "kit" figure. Extra deco is added by a sheet of customer-applied foil stickers that he shares with Ratchet. As part of the Arms Micron gimmick, he has multiple 5mm posts and holes, allowing him to be used to form larger and more ludicrous combined weapons with other Microns.
As one of the "Pure" Crystal Arms Microns, he combines with O.P. and B.2 to form the Star Saber Super Combo Weapon.


Hmm. Does he belong to Shadow Man or Morrigan?
  • Shadow R.A. (Promotional Micron, 4-28-2012)
    • Energon Crystal: HP Fake Dark
A transparent-black version of R.A. with a red Energon Crystal was made available on April 28 at participating AEON stores with the purchase of AM-01 Optimus Prime. Rather than being handed out separately, Shadow R.A. was packaged inside the AM-01 Optimus box, which had a gold sticker on it indicating the special bonus Arms Micron. Just like the regular version, Shadow R.A. comes as an unassembled kit. Unlike the regular version, he has only a single sticker, the Autobot insignia that goes under his Energon Crystal.


  • Arms Master Optimus (9-29-2012)
    • ID number: AM-21
    • Micron ID number: M-28
    • Energon Crystal: HP Pure
Available only with Arms Master Optimus, Shining R.A. is cast in clear-blue plastics and features different sticker details for his blades. He is specifically intended to combine with the included Matrix and form the tip of the Matrix Saber.


A lot of effort was made to get this to show up as anything more than an eye-searing green blob. You're welcome.
  • Shining R.A. GR (Promotional Arms Micron, 9-29-2012)
    • Energon Crystal: HP Pure
A clear-green version of R.A. was given away with the purchase of Arms Master Optimus Prime at AEON stores on September 29. This version lacks any stickers other than the single faction symbol sticker under his Energon Crystal.
He combines with three other versions of himself given away on that day to form the Rainbow Shield.


  • Shining R.A. P (Promotional Arms Micron, 9-29-2012)
    • Energon Crystal: HP Pure
A clear-purple version of R.A. was given away with the purchase of 3000 yen's worth of Prime product at Joshin Kids' Land and Bic Camera stores on September 29. This version lacks any stickers other than the single faction symbol sticker under his Energon Crystal.
He combines with three other versions of himself given away on that day to form the Rainbow Shield.


  • Shining R.A. R (Promotional Arms Micron, 9-29-2012)
    • Energon Crystal: HP Pure
A clear-red version of R.A. was given away with the purchase of 3000 yen's worth of Prime product at ToysЯUs stores on September 29. This version lacks any stickers other than the single faction symbol sticker under his Energon Crystal.
He combines with three other versions of himself given away on that day to form the Rainbow Shield.


  • Shining R.A. Y (Promotional Arms Micron, 9-29-2012)
    • Energon Crystal: HP Pure
A clear-yellow version of R.A. was given away with the purchase of 3000 yen's worth of Prime product at Eidon group, Yamada Denki and Yodobashi Camera stores on September 29. This version lacks any stickers other than the single faction symbol sticker under his Energon Crystal.
He combines with three other versions of himself given away on that day to form the Rainbow Shield.


  • Orion Pax (Deluxe, 10-20-2012)
    • Energon Crystal: HP ???
Available only with Orion Pax, Gold Metal R.A. is a gold vac-metal version of the knife-bot, because there's already a gold vac-metal version of O.P., Prime's normal partner. Orion was available only at Joshin Kids' Land and Bic Camera stores.


  • Arms Micron Ultimate 5 Piece Set A - Advanced Star Saber (AMW set, 12-28-12)
    • Set ID number: AMW-13
    • Energon Crystal: HP Pure
An orange version of R.A., dubbed R.A. O, was part of a five-piece gift set of Autobot-allied Arms Microns, which also included B.2 R, O.P. R, Iro R and Ooje G. All five can combine to form the Advanced Star Saber.

Notes

  • TakaraTomy's stock photos of the original R.A. toy show him mistransformed, with his, well, groin remaining in weapon mode orientation.
