Toys

Prime

• Dado 1 / Dado 2 (Micron, 2012)
  • Energon Crystal: AP ???

Part of the second assortment of Gacha Arms Microns appearing around August of 2012, Dado transforms from a robotic snapping turtle into a shield. He has multiple 5mm posts and holes as part of the line-wide Arms Micron gimmick, allowing him to be combined with other Microns to make larger and more ridiculous weapons.

Dado comes in two different colorations. Unlike the prior Decepticon Gacha Microns, Dado has two colors of plastic per type... "1" has a gray shell with yellow limbs and head, while "2" has a yellow shell with gray limbs and head. So yeah, two colors of a single-sprue figure with some parts swapping, as some fans have done with Gob and Zad.

Notes

• Dado was originally advertized under the working name "Wanigame", which is the Japanese name for the alligator snapping turtle.
• Dado comes from the Japanese spelling of "turtle", タートル (tātoru), with the usual dropping of vowel extenders and addition of accents.
• Dado has the same Energon Crystal color as Zad and Gob, and since the three each have a different Crystal Shape, they could theoretically form a Super Combo Weapon. However, no official named Super Combo Weapon form for these three has been seen.
