Toys

Prime

  • Autobot Swerve (Voyager, 8-25-2012)
    • Set ID number: AM-17
    • Micron ID number: M-21
    • Energon Crystal: HP Magne
Available only with the Japanese-only Prime Swerve toy, Sou transforms from a humanoid robot into a circular saw weapon. He has numerous 5mm posts and holes that allow him to combine with other Arms Microns to form any number of "Combo Weapons" and "Super Combo Weapons".
Sou comes out of the package as a bunch of unpainted parts on runners, like a model kit. Extra deco is supplied by customer-applied foil stickers on a sheet he shares with Swerve.

Notes

  • Sou's name seems to be one of those multi-layer cross-language puns Japan seems to love so much. Aside from being a not-incorrect transliteration of "saw" into katakana, it's also how one would "sound out" the initials "S.W.", which falls in line with the normal pack-in Autobot Arms Micron naming convention. It's... confusing.
  • Sou's forearms are tank treads, indicating he could fold up into some kind of vehicle. However, there is no way to lay those treads down and have his saw still be functional in any useful capacity. Either the saw can't get positioned "foreward" or something keeps the treads from laying flat on the ground.
