Magi

Magi is a Decepticon Mini-Con from the Prime portion of the Aligned continuity family.

Isn't he mentioned in the Bible or something?

Magi (マギ) is the Arms Micron partner of Silas Breakdown. Faster than the blink of an eye. Nothing up his sleeves, abracadabra, alakazam!

Toys

Prime

• Silas Breakdown (Voyager, 2012)

• Set ID number: AM-24
• Micron ID number: M-29
• Release date: November 24, 2012
• Energon Crystal: AP Mystic

Part of the eighth wave of TakaraTomy Prime toys, Magi transforms from a robotic praying mantis to a dual-bladed weapon. Magi 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 a "Mystic" crystal type, his main combination is with Dago and Jigu as the Astro Blaster Super Combo Weapon.

He was only available packed in with the Voyager Silas Breakdown toy, coming out of the package as a bunch of unpainted parts on runners, like a model kit. His extra deco is provided by customer-applied foil stickers on a sheet he shares with Silas.

This mold was used to make Shou and Timelines Scalpel.

Notes

• Magi's name is a shortening of kamakiri (カマキリ), the Japanese word for mantis, with the second consonant changed to a voiced form. It is not pronounced "Maji".
• One has to wonder how a human got hold of an Arms Micron. Well, Silas did use Breakdown as a new body, but still...
