Autorooper X Atari BTA-06

 


Autorooper x Atari (Collectors Card Bio)
Autorooper Ne-04
●Function: Police Officer
●Transformation: Patrol Car
An artificial Transformer created by the Earth Defence Command (E.D.C.) using advanced Transformers' technology, designed specifically to combat the Transformers themselves. They are deployed to protect and eliminate the mysterious Transformer group, 'Legion', from the capital city, Tokyo. As of 2006, a total of 48 units are active, with 4 units assigned to each platoon within E.D.C. Tokyo. Individually, they possess autonomous thinking and action capabilities comparable to those of the original Transformers. However, due to the superior combat abilities of the enemy Legion, they can only match those abilities by kiss-fusing with human Kiss Players. Although they have a relatively gentle and hardworking nature, they can be quite overbearing. While they generally share the same personality traits, each unit develops slightly different characteristics based on their individual Kiss Player partners, as they operate independently. Unit 'Ne-04' switched its partner from “Shaoshao Li” to “Atari Hitotonari”. Upon its initial fusion with Atari, it exhibited berserker-like combat prowess. Additionally, it occasionally displays a reprimanding attitude towards its new partner.
●Weapon(s): Kremzeek Gun & Gatling Pylon

Profile (Translated from the Character Card) 
Hot Rodimus x ShaoShao 
Cybertron Warrior Hot Rodimus

● Function: Cavalier
● Transformation: Ford GT
● Ability:
When he fuses with ShaoShao, his two original photon lasers transform into a pair of tonfas, designed for close combat. Similarly, his favourite fishing rod merges with his arm to become a triple exhaust eliminator.
● Profile*
A young Cybertron with many aspirations, he became the new Cybertron leader, succeeding Convoy, who was killed in the 2005 Unicron War. After hurling Galvatron into outer space, Galvatron crashed on Earth, causing the destruction of a city. Overwhelmed with guilt, Hot Rodimus passed the Matrix of Leadership to Ultra Magnus and travelled to Earth alone. After passing through the anti-electron field installed around Earth by humans, Hot Rodimus's functionality was under critical strain. A mysterious group of Transformers known as 'Legion' suddenly appeared and attempted parasitech fusion with him. However, he was saved with a kiss from ShaoShao, a girl with Kiss Player abilities. This reformatting granted Hot Rodimus a new body and kung fu skills.
● Weapon(s): Photon Laser Gun, Exhaust Eliminator

Convoy X Melissa BTA-04


Profile (Translated from the Character Card) 
Cybertron General Commander Convoy

● Function: Former General Commander
● Transformation: Dodge SRT-10
As the General Commander of the Cybertron army, he led his troop into battle but in 2005 he was killed during the Unicron War and his spark became one with the Matrix. His body was impounded by the E.D.C (Earth Defence Command) but a kiss from Melissa, a Kiss Player, revived him. Her abilities made Convoy an expert “knife wielder”. Can Convoy bridge the divide between humanity and the Transformers? Convoy’s body was restored with a mysterious Parasitech fusion which joined the Convoy unit with an Earth made artificial Transformer. The whereabouts of the other two units that composed him (Roller and Combat Deck), have not been confirmed.
● Weapon(s): Convoy Gun / Surf Blade

Swindle BT-09


BT-09 Destron Supply Soldier Swindle
● Function: Supply Soldier
● Transformation: Jeep Wrangler TJ Custom
One of the first wave of evil Binaltech soldiers resurrected from the 'Bad Production Incident,' caused by the Destrons' takeover of the Binaltech Project. A specialist in black market trading and weapons manufacturing, he developed a modified Cosmic Rust tactical weapon and was responsible for triggering the Binaltech Project, which affected numerous Cybertron warriors. Although he appears to have a friendly and easy-going personality, he is actually an extremely greedy, self-centred opportunist. He added his own name to the top of the list of candidates to gain a Binaltech body, overriding the injured who should have been given priority.

BT-08 Cybertron Lieutenant Meister
● Function: Lieutenant
● Transformation: Mazda RX-8
Well-versed in Earth's culture and trusted as Commander Convoy's right-hand man, Meister was one of the few members of the Cybertron Earth Command to escape the ravages of Cosmic Rust.

In conjunction with his partner, a replica automaton, he utilises his superior intelligence to execute dangerous missions with style.

Profile (Translated from the Character Card) 
BT-01 Cybertron Tactician Smokescreen

● Function: Tactician
● Transformation: Subaru Impreza WRC 2003
The first Cybertron warrior to be restored through the Binaltech Project. With the exception of the quantum computer in his brain and his main weapon, he was completely re-engineered in Japan by Fuji Heavy Industries and STi to completely reproduce Smokescreen’s original functionality. In vehicle mode he can reach speeds of 230 km/h and fire smoke grenades from his tailpipe. He has always been able to dispel his comrades fears and anxieties and now his restoration is a huge encouragement to the rest of the Cybertron warriors and the development team.
● Weapon: Electro Disruptor Rifle

Lambor BT-02


Profile (Translated from the Character Card) 
BT-02 Cybertron Warrior Lambor

● Function: Warrior
● Transformation: Dodge Viper SRT-10
The second Cybertron Warrior, revived through a special project from DaimlerChrysler’s engineering team, PVO. After a thorough analysis of Transformer technology and using their own unique conversion technology, the finished product was a high performance robot, the likes of which had not been seen before in human history. In robot mode his backpack and the repulsion panels on his legs allow him to fly for short periods of time. Because of his recklessness, a complete backup system was put in place with a dedicated spare parts production line.

Streak BT-03


Profile (Translated from the Character Card) 
BT-03 Cybertron Gunner Streak

● Function: Gunner
● Transformation: Subaru Impreza WRX
Despite his speed and manoeuvrability, Streak is not a warrior. His constant talking is tedious yet can ease tense situations but in reality he uses it as a shield to hide the emotional scars from past battles. Streak's body was built before the other Binaltech numbers but after an EDC audit and concerns over his mental state, his introduction into service was postponed. He proved his abilities through gruelling simulations and verbal examinations and was successfully returned to the line of battle.

Dead End BT-05

 

Profile (Translated from the Character Card) 
BT-05 Destron Soldier Dead End

● Function: Soldier
● Transformation: Dodge Viper Competition Coupe
Through advanced brainwashing technology, the Destron’s secretly oversaw the production of an evil Binaltech soldier at one of the humans research institutes. Brave and courageous but at the same time, pessimistic. He sees no logic in a war doomed for mutual destruction. Destroying enemies who stand against him is nothing more than a minor distraction for him. Although he has lost the ability to combine due to the Binaltech conversion and calibration tests, he feels an attachment to his new body and fears that one day he will have to return to his old body and rejoin the Stuntrons.

Tracks BT-06


BT-06 Cybertron Warrior Tracks
● Function: Warrior
● Transformation: Chevrolet Corvette
Tracks cherishes his Earth vehicle mode and is deeply connected to his Binaltech body, meticulously crafted by General Motors with their full resources. His vanity has intensified over time, making him increasingly self-conscious. He loathes any harm that befalls his body, and this heightened concern has sometimes led to lapses in concentration during battles, putting his own safety at risk. Presently, he's been entrusted with a significant role as one of the few Cybertrons capable of flight. With unwavering courage, he thrusts himself into perilous battlefields, relying on advanced force-field technology to bolster his defences.

Smokescreen GT BT-07

 


BT-07 Cybertron Tactician Smokescreen GT
● Function: Tactician
● Transformation: Subaru Impreza WRC 2004
The most recent iteration of Smokescreen now features the innovative "Genetronic Translink" technology, to compensate for the critical shortage within the Cybertron Earth Guard. This breakthrough enables the creation of clones from an individual and they share a singular spark. As a result, up to four Smokescreens can now function simultaneously. However, the potential impact of this experimental technology on the vital activities and mental equilibrium of the Transformers remains uncertain. Consequently, deploying them into combat at their maximum operating range is considered a last resort.
