Gura

This article is about the Prime Arms Micron. For the Kreon crab, see Gra (Kre-O).

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

"What did you say, punk?"

Gra (グラ Gura) is Knock Out's Arms Micron partner. He's pretty easygoing. When not being Knock Out's weapon, he almost always hangs around with his buddy Zamu.

Fiction

Prime cartoon

Gra 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 Knock Out uses his staff, but we're not going to bother with that and just focus on his individual exploits.

Voice actor: Yasunori Masutani (Japanese)

Zamu and Gra decided to pop into the Arms Micron studio one day. O.P. took offense to their presence and started yelling, slowly turning black as if infected by Dark Energon. Arc wondered aloud what was in O.P.'s drink to set him off so. Acceleration Transformation! Speed Match!

Later, he, Zamu, and Noji got to be berated by Gul. Until a mysterious voice boomed through the studio, scaring them all... Phantom Transformation! Mind-Diving The voice belonged to Gora, who quickly asserted leadership of the group, much to Gul's disagreement. Gora ordered the other three to combine into the Energon Sniper rifle, and they promptly did... which Gora then used to blast Gul. Counterattack Transformation! The Resurrection of Megatron!

All of the current Decepticon Microns (save Noji) decided to attack Arc while she was having a pop-idol moment. However, she quickly had O.P., B.2, R.A., B.H., C.L. and a second O.P. (?!) link up with her in their weapons modes... pretty effectively stopping that little moment of interruption. Phantom Transformation! Skyquake Returns

"BIG... MEATY... CLAWS!"

• Medic Knock Out (Deluxe, 6-30-12)
  • Set ID number: AM-13
  • Micron ID number: M-13
  • Energon Crystal: HP Mud

Available only with his larger partner Knock Out in Japan, Gra comes as an unassembled, unpainted "kit". He transforms from a fiddler crab robot into Knock Out's energon prod. 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".

As it turns out, blue crabs taste like delicious candy.

Notes

• Gra's name is derived from the Japanese spelling of the word "crab" (クラブ kurabu), dropping the last syllable and adding an accent to the first.
