Guru

Gul is a Mini-Con from the Aligned continuity family.

Gul (グル Guru) is Starscream's Arms Micron partner. He rather takes after Starscream, being mouthy, ambitious and cowardly.

Fiction

Prime cartoon

Gul 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 Starscream uses his... uh... but we're not going to bother with that and just focus on his individual exploits.

Voice actor: Satoshi Tsuruoka (Japanese)

Gul, Noji, Zamu and Gra had the Micron studio, with Gul taking command over the couch and declaring himself sub-leader of the Decepticon Arms Micron division. He got snippy with the other three for not shutting up and respecting his sub-leadership, but then a mysterious voice boomed through the room, scaring them all...Phantom Transformation! Mind-Diving

Toys

Prime

• Starscream (Voyager, 6-30-12)
  • Set ID number: AM-07
  • Micron ID number: M-07
  • Energon Crystal: AP Dark

Available only with his larger partner Starscream in Japan, Gul comes as an unassembled, unpainted "kit". He transforms from an eagle-robot into a bladed plasma cannon. 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".

• Hellflame Gul (Promotional Micron, 7-28-12)
  • Energon Crystal: AP Ion

A clear-red version of Gul was given away as a campaign bonus with the purchase of Megatron Darkness at AEON stores on that toy's release date, July 28 of 2012. This version is almost completely devoid of stickers, having only the small faction symbol sticker that goes under his Energon Crystal.

In Japan, "ion", his Energon Crystal type, is pronounced the same as "eon", and the store he was available at is "AEON", pronounced "eon"....

• Arms Micron Ultimate 5 Piece Set D (AMW set, 2013)
  • Energon Crystal: AP ???

A black version of Gul was part of a five-piece gift set of Decepticon-allied Arms Microns, which also included Gora II, Ida, Noji and Zori. All five can combine to form a gigantic combination weapon (currently unnamed).

Notes

• Continuing the trend of Arms Microns getting weirdass names that are really hard to intuitively Romanize, Gul's name is pronounced as you would the last syllable in "eagle".
