Jigu (ジグ Jigu) is the Arms Micron partner of Dreadwing. Cue the Jaws theme!

Fiction

Prime cartoon

Jigu 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 Dreadwing uses his blaster, but we're not going to bother with that and just focus on his individual exploits.

Voice actor: Masami Iwasaki (Japanese)

Alongside Zamu, Gra and a bunch of Nojis, Jigu combined with Hades under the belief that doing so would result in a really powerful combination. Once Ida pointed out that any combination involving Hades wouldn't really be any stronger than Hades was to begin with, he realized he wasn't gaining anything from the experience and detached from the bat.

Toys

Prime

• Dreadwing (Voyager, 10-27-12)
  • Set ID number: AM-22
  • Micron ID number: M-30
  • Energon Crystal: SP Mystic

Available only with his larger partner Dreadwing in Japan, Jigu comes as an unassembled, unpainted "kit". He transforms from a robotic shark into Dreadwing's blaster cannon (kinda). Jigu 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

• Jigu comes from the katakana spelling of "shark" (シャーク shāku or more precisely, shiyāku), dropping the middle syllable and vowel extender and adding accents to the remaining syllables. Logical romanisation, as usual, suffers from it as ジ sounds more like a sliding English "ji" instead of the more logical "zi".
• The ID number was never announced on TakaraTomy's site. Rather, it comes from the tree his parts are on.
