- Gobu 1 / Gobu 2 (Gacha Arms Micron, 2012)
- ID number: 4
- Energon Crystal: AP Shine
- Part of the first wave of Gacha-released Arms Microns, Gobu transforms from a robotic cobra into a hand-held saw-bladed axe-thing weapon. He has multiple 5 mm 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; "Gobu 1" is solid black plastic, "Gobu 2" is reddish-purple.
- Gobu was initially available through Gacha capsule vending machines, first appearing in early June of 2012. Gobu 1 came in a clear-teal capsule, while Gobu 2 came in a clear-pink capsule. On August 20 of 2012, he was released as part of the Arms Micron Gum series, though only "Gobu 2" was part of this assortment.
- Transforming Figure Collection (Bagged toy, 2012)
- Series: Part 1
- Energon Crystal: AP Shine
- The entire first wave of Gacha Arms Microns (including both color variations of Gobu) were made available in the UK as a blindbagged line, released by Tomy and licensed by Hasbro UK, distributed through Esdevium Games. The packaging does not give any names to the Microns inside, and in fact doesn't even call them "Microns" or "Mini-Cons" or anything.
- Gobu TC (Gacha Arms Micron, 2013)
- ID number: 11
- Energon Crystal: AP Shine
- At the very tail-end of Prime, all twelve Gacha molds were re-released all in one go as a "Special Edition" wave through the capsule machines in March of 2013. The Decepticons were cast in clear-purple "Dark Energon Terrorcon Form!" versions (though they retained their paint operations and Crystal colors).
Notes
- Gobu's name is a shortening of the Japanese rendition of "cobra" (コブラ kobura), dropping the final syllable and voicing the first.
