Zamu is a Mini-Con from the Aligned continuity family.

Zamu (ザム Zamu) is Breakdown's Arms Micron partner.


Fiction

Prime cartoon

Zamu 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 Breakdown uses his hammer, but we're not going to bother with that and just focus on his individual exploits.
Voice actor: Atsushi Imaruoka (Japanese)

Zamu and Gra decided to pop into the Arms Micron studio one day. O.P. took offense to their presence and started yelling, slowly turning black as if infected by Dark Energon. Arc wondered aloud what was in O.P.'s drink to set him off so. Acceleration Transformation! Speed Match!

Later, He, Gra, and Noji got to be berated by Gul. Until a mysterious voice boomed through the studio, scaring them all... Phantom Transformation! Mind-Diving

Available only with his larger partner Breakdown in Japan, Zamu comes as an unassembled, unpainted "kit". He transforms from a rhinoceros-like robot into Breakdown's massive hammer weapon. He 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

  • The genesis of Zamu's name is currently unclear, as the Japanese word for "rhinoceros" is "sai". Maybe it's a play on "hammer"?
