Gra is a Decepticon Mini-Con from the Prime portion of the Aligned continuity family.
"What did you say, punk?"

Gra (グラ Gura) is Knock Out's Arms Micron partner. He's pretty easygoing. When not being Knock Out's weapon, he almost always hangs around with his buddy Zamu.

Fiction

Prime cartoon

Gra 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 Knock Out uses his staff, but we're not going to bother with that and just focus on his individual exploits.
Voice actor: Yasunori Masutani (Japanese)

Gra and Zamu popped into the Arms Micron studio for a friendly chat with their Autobot counterparts about a recent battle, but as O.P. started giving them advice for future battles, he grew increasingly ruthless and turned black as if tainted by Dark Energon. Arc wondered aloud what was in O.P.'s drink. Acceleration Transformation! Speed Match! Joined by Noji, the two were later ordered around by sub-leader Gul but showed him no respect, something Gra explained was because of the "sub" in his title. Then, a mysterious voice boomed through the studio, scaring them all... Phantom Transformation! Mind-Diving The voice belonged to Gora, who quickly asserted leadership of the Decepticon Microns. Gul wasn't terribly happy with this, so Gora commanded the others to form the Energon Sniper Combo Weapon and blast the bird. Counterattack Transformation! The Resurrection of Megatron!

Many of the Decepticon Microns decided to attack Arc while she was having a pop-idol moment. However, she quickly had O.P., B.2, R.A., B.H., C.L., and a second O.P. (?!) link up with her in their weapons modes... pretty effectively stopping that little moment of interruption. Phantom Transformation! Skyquake Returns Gra later helped Gora form a variety of combination in a vain (and unsuccessful) attempt at impressing Arc. Strategy Transformation! Unravel the Sinister Thread! He and other Decepticon Microns spied on their Autobot counterparts during the 20th episode celebration party. Duel Transformation! Quell Cliffjumper's Regrets

When Zamu announced he had to leave the Microns, causing a gloomy atmosphere in the room, Gra fought the sadness by transforming into the bright Shining Gra to literally brighten his friend's spirits. Turbulent Transformation! Insect Battle Gra was among those who combined with Hades until he learned that he wasn't making their combination any more powerful since Hades was at peak strength to begin with, at which point he disconnected and left. Clashing Transformation! The Dark Commander Appears When Ida sought to rescue Airachnid, Gul offered help in the form of the Solar Ion Arrow, a weapon that included Shining Gra (who as part of this trio went by the title "the Knight of Wisdom"). Infinite Transformation! Multiplying Enemies

Gra and Zamu appeared on TV during a New Year's celebration. Sonic Transformation! Ratchet's Recipe Gra played the main character in an Arms Micron retelling of The Crab and the Monkey, though he changed the story by combining with his allies into a cannon that blasted the monkey (Gora) off his tree. Combustible Transformation! Struggle over the Omega Key He came in second place in an Arms Micron popularity poll, upsetting Arc who was shocked that a "mere crab" got a higher score than her. Sky Dance Transformation! The Suicidal Skydive Gra and the other Decepticon Microns then had some fun tricking Gul into thinking Zori their new leader instead of Gora. Blackest Transformation! The Shadow of Treachery

During the final battle between the Star Saber and Dark Star Saber, the Dark Energon Saber Microns summoned Shining Gra to help them as part of a "Solar Ion Arrow Combo" attack. Resurrection Transformation! The Reviving of Planet Cybertron To celebrate the end of Arms Micron Theater, Gra rode Zamu into the studio to join the other Microns in waving goodbye to their audience. Ultimate Transformation! Fight! Transformers

Available only with his larger partner Knock Out in Japan, Gra comes as an unassembled, unpainted "kit". He transforms from a fiddler crab robot into Knock Out's energon prod. 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".


As it turns out, blue crabs taste like delicious candy.

    • Energon Crystal: HP Ion

Notes

  • Gra's name is derived from the Japanese spelling of the word "crab" (クラブ kurabu), dropping the last syllable and adding an accent to the first.
