Toys

Prime

  • Gob (Arms Micron, 2012)
    • Energon Crystal: SP ???
Gob transforms from a robot cobra into a hand-held chainsaw-bladed axe-thing weapon. He has multiple 5mm posts and holes as part of the Arms Micron play pattern, allowing him to be combined with other Mini-Cons to form bigger and more ridiculous weapons. He comes in two different colors; "Gob 1" is solid black plastic, "Gob 2" is reddish-purple.
Gob was initially available through Gashapon capsule vending machines, first appearing in early June of 2012. On August 20 of 2012, he was released as part of the Arms Micron Gum series, though only "Gob 2" was part of this assortment.


Notes

  • Gob's name is a shortening of and adding of an accent to "cobra", accomplished by dropping the last character from the Japanese spelling of the word, turning kobura (コブラ) into gobu (ゴブ). The Japanese word does not have a long "o" sound as it does in English, and Gob's name consequently does not.
  • Gob and Zad have unique colors to their Energon Crystals; what quality they are supposed to represent is currently unknown.
