Wuji

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

Ooje (ウージ ūji) is Wheeljack's Arms Micron partner. He has a weakness for bad jokes.

Fiction

Prime cartoon

Ooje 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 Wheeljack uses his swords, but we're not going to bother with that and just focus on his individual exploits.

Voice actor: Yūki Tai (Japanese)

While training with B.H. at the Arms Micron-style Weapon Link Dojo, Ooje took a break to tell his sparring partner some puns comparing the Autobots' names to similar-sounding Japanese words. Explosive Sword Transformation! Wheeljack and Dreadwing

Toys

Prime

Is capable of destroying wizard demons.

• Wheeljack (Deluxe, 10-27-2012)
  • Set ID number: AM-23
  • Micron ID number: M-31
  • Energon Crystal: AP Shield

Available only with the Japanese release of Wheeljack, Ooje transforms from a humanoid robot into... uh... a box with a sword-blade sticking out of it. Awkward. He has numerous 5mm posts and holes that allow him to combine with other Arms Microns to form any number of "Combo Weapons" and "Super Combo Weapons".

Ooje comes out of the package as a bunch of unpainted parts on runners, like a model kit. Extra deco is supplied by customer-applied foil stickers on a sheet he shares with Wheeljack.

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

An clear-yellow version of Ooje was part of a five-piece gift set of Autobot-allied Arms Microns, which also included B.2, O.P., Iro, and R.A.. All five can combine to form a gigantic combination weapon, the Advanced Star Saber.

Early solicitation photos showed this version of Ooje showed him as opaque pale yellow.

Notes

• Oy, that name. This is gonna take some 'splainin'. It's meant to be a phonetic representation of the initials "W.J." (WheelJack, of course). Japanese doesn't really have a proper "w" sound, so there are various approximations used. Typically, the "Wheel" in "Wheeljack" is rendered ホイル (ho-i-ru), but in this case, TakaraTomy went with an extended "oo" sound to approximate the "W" sound minus the "h".
• The ID number was never announced on TakaraTomy's site. Rather, it comes from the tree his parts are on.
• To go with Wheeljack's samurai theme in the Japanese dub, Ooje speaks in an old Edo dialect.
