One more job oughta get it. One last shot 'fore we quit it.

  • Set ID number: AM-29
  • Micron ID number: M-35
  • Energon Crystal: AP Ice

Part of the ninth wave of TakaraTomy Prime toys, Bido is available only with his larger partner, Shockwave. He comes as an unassembled, unpainted "kit", using stickers for detail, and transforms from a robotic rhinoceros beetle into Shockwave's cannon (which is modeled after the Sling Shock) and the vehicle fuselage. He can only be used as a hand-held cannon, and is unable to replace Shockwave's hand. As part of the Arms Micron gimmick, Bido features numerous 5mm peg-holes and a pair of pegs, allowing him to combine with other Microns to form bigger and more ridiculous "Combo Weapons" and "Super Combo Weapons".

Notes

• Bido's name is a shortening of the Japanese rendition of "beetle" (ビートル bītoru), with the second syllable changed to a voiced one.
• Bido is one of only two Arms Micron molds that has not been redecoed in any way, shape or form, the other being Ulma.
