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

Overview

In September 2006, Autorooper X Atari were available for preorder for 6,500 Yen and it was released late December 2006. Autorooper is a misspelling on the packaging and it should have read "Autotrooper". This has been subsequently corrected when the character has been released by Hasbro. 



Autorooper is a police car version of Binaltech Meister and these were actually used as police cars in Japan.

Like the  other Kiss Player vehicles, Autorooper comes in a premium styled box with very questionable artwork but has a nice magnetic flap which reveals the car mode and written on the card is a profile for the Kiss Player that comes with the set, Atari. Unlike the other 2 Kiss Player vehicles, the cardboard tray Autorooper is packaged with features a lot of text front and back. The text describes the Autoroopers and their weapons as well as a glossary of terms and a full chronology of the Transformer history up to 2006. This text has been fully translated and is available to read further down the page which took me a lot longer than expected, made more awkward with the tiny text.



The police car looks really nice but my mould is slightly askew, maybe due to the mould being over used. It holds together well in both modes but the transformation can be awkward. 


Atari is a small PVC figure who is permanently sitting and she can fit inside the Mazda vehicle mode or on the foot of one of the traffic cones. She features interchangeable arms including a set holding a sick bag as the character suffers from motion sickness.



The set also comes with a sticker set where you can customise the police car. There are E.D.C stickers for the side of the car or there are "警視庁" (Metropolitan Police Department). There are 12 Autorooper units named after the years of the Chinese Zodiac and there are 4 individual Autoroopers in each unit. You can also customise which Autorooper you have with the stickers.



Transformation is identical to Binaltech Meister and Autorooper features a brand new headsculpt. The set comes with four traffic cones, also known as pylons because they stack or pile on each other. These cones fit together to form the Gatling Pylon, a new weapon for this set. Also included is the gun that came with Meister although this one is the Kremzeek Gun which fires out small Kremzeek monsters as explained in the cardboard inner tray. A small Kremzeek figure is also included in the set. 




Translations



Atari Hitotonari (Box Flap Bio)
○ Race: Human Kiss Player
○ Function: E.D.C.
○ Partner: Autorooper Ne-04
○ Ability:
Autorooper is partnered with a Kiss Player. A Kiss Player is an individual with special abilities who can fuse with a Transformer through a kiss, thereby granting the Transformer enhanced powers.
○Profile:
She keeps her distance from others to avoid getting hurt, yet beneath this protective barrier, she feels a deep sense of loneliness and longing for connection. She ranks second in her class academically. She isn't skilled in sports and lacks physical strength. She enjoys vegetables and fruits but cannot eat meat. She believes that eating animals is unacceptable. Like the other Kiss Players, her powers suddenly emerged in 2005. She was recruited by the Earth Defence Command (E.D.C.) but chose to decline the offer. However, after losing her parents to the mysterious Transformer group “Legion”, which began advancing towards the capital, Tokyo, she joined the E.D.C. Tokyo Autorooper unit. She was assigned as the partner of the artificial Transformer “Autotrooper Ne-04”, a unit capable of transforming from a police car into a robot.
○ Weakness
Despite being partnered with an Autorooper that transforms into a police car, she suffers from severe motion sickness and will vomit if she is not gripping the wheel.


Instruction Booklet


Page 2



20 years ago, the Super Robot Lifeforms, “Transformers”, suddenly appeared on Earth.
Have you ever met them?
They come from outer space and have huge mechanical bodies but they can think, worry, hate and fall in love just like humans can. Humanity has persistently sought a means to coexist with them, but in 2005, during the Unicron War between the Transformers, the Cybertron’s General Commander “Convoy” was fatally wounded by the Destron’s Emperor of Destruction, “Megatron”.
The severely wounded Megatron was restored by the living planet, the “Interstellar Emperor Unicron”, and was regenerated into his new form, “Galvatron”. However, Rodimus Convoy, the new leader who succeeded Convoy and was entrusted with the Matrix of Leadership, cast Galvatron into the depths of space, and Unicron was vanquished through the wisdom of the Matrix.
..But soon after, Galvatron crashed on Earth, reducing Tokyo to ashes. Humanity, seeing the Transformers as a threat, turned against them. The Earth Defence Command (EDC) eradicated all Transformers, leading to a definitive rift between humanity and the Transformers. In 2006, a new faction of Transformers known as the "Legion" reappeared on Earth, leading to an intense showdown with the chosen "Kiss Players." 
Having reconciled with the fire warrior, “Hot Rodimus” the red warrior “Convoy” led a swarm of Legion to the ED Tokyo Headquarters. A sorrowful “girl in black” hides in the shadow of the Legion, while the man-made Transformers, the “Autoroopers,” humanity's ultimate weapon, stands poised to confront them. Who will bring an end to this conflict? And what lies beyond?

E.D.C Artificial Transformer Autorooper
In response to encountering an intelligent extraterrestrial species known as Transformers in the late 20th century, humanity established the Earth Defense Command (E.D.C.), an international defence organisation designed to prepare for any crises that might arise as we enter the 21st century.
The Japanese branch of the E.D.C., “E.D.C. Tokyo”, independently developed and produced the artificial Transformer "Autorooper" for use against other Transformers. These units were officially adopted in 2005.
Their primary function is to protect Tokyo and eliminate the mysterious Transformer group, "Legion," as they attempt to advance into the city. Residents of Tokyo have likely witnessed these giant white vehicles marching in formation, sirens blaring. Currently, E.D.C. Tokyo operates 12 platoons, each consisting of 4 vehicles, for a total of 48. (E.D.C. staff refer to each unit as a "vehicle" rather than an individual entity, treating them strictly as machinery.)
Rumours suggest that Autoroopers are assigned to covert missions, but the government denies these claims.
The Autorooper units achieved practical functionality in a short time due to advanced technology acquired through the "Binaltech Project," a joint human-Transformer initiative launched in 2003. The direct development and manufacturing of these units is reportedly conducted within E.D.C. Tokyo. The Autoroopers are equipped with an autonomous AI that enables them to think independently and respond to various situations. However, its design is fundamentally different from the RX-8 type Binaltech, known as "ZOOM-ZOOM (2003)" which was manufactured by Mazda and appeared to be more closely aligned with the original Transformers. Those who have interacted with them directly often find it hard to believe they are artificial Transformers, due to their remarkable lifelike presence. While Autoroopers can perform basic tasks autonomously, they face a formidable challenge from the enemy group "Legion," which has superior combat capabilities. To match their strength, Autoroopers must undergo a Kiss Fusion with a Kiss Player.
(As usual, the specifics of Kiss Player Kiss Fusion remain officially undisclosed, leaving the principles behind it, as well as the alterations in volume and mass of the Autotroopers during fusion, to speculation.) While the core personalities of the Autotroopers are generally consistent across individuals, new emotions and traits are said to emerge depending on their Kiss Player partner. They are generally characterised by their gentle demeanour and strong work ethic.
*The term "Autorooper" is a general designation, with each unit identified by a unique number (e.g., 01). 

Deployment Status
■ The Autorooper units, headquartered at E.D.C. Tokyo divides the Yamanote Line into 12 sectors. Starting from the north, the 12 platoons are named after the Chinese zodiac animals: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. Each platoon comprises 4 Autoroopers, making a total of 48 units. Each Autorooper within a platoon is assigned a specific number, such as "Rat (Ne) 01" to "Rat (Ne) 04." The Yamanote Line serves as the final line of defence; if an invading Legion breaches this line, platoons stationed outside its jurisdiction are also mobilised to address the threat. For long-distance deployments beyond the jurisdiction of individual units, two Autoroopers can be suspended and transported together using a single AH-15 Wyvern attack helicopter.

Kremzeek Gun
This anti-Transformer device is a specially cultivated version of the electric creature "Kremzeek," infamous for causing the Tokyo blackout in the late 20th century. It is contained within a special ceramic shell and is fired with an explosive charge. This was adopted in 2005. The official name of the device is the "Yoshikawa Type 5 Auto Kremzeek Launcher." To circumvent restrictions imposed by the Firearms and Swords Act, the name was carefully chosen to avoid any association with firearms. However, in the field, it’s commonly referred to as the "Kremzeek Gun." The stated range is 100 metres, though officials note that accurate targeting is only reliable within 50 metres. The shell itself has no destructive or penetrating capability, but upon impact, it shatters, releasing the Kremzeek, which absorbs the target's electrical energy, effectively immobilising the Transformer. However, it is not capable of inflicting fatal damage. By adjusting the voltage prior to firing, the device can also function as a stun gun against humans. Although opposition parties have raised concerns about the inherent danger of the "Kremzeek," the device was approved for use by incorporating a time-limited program that causes the Kremzeek to dissipate after a set duration.

Gatling Pylon
This handheld machine gun can only be operated when an Autorooper is fused with a Kisplayer. It is assembled from what appears to be an ordinary pylon (a triangular traffic cone). The underlying principle remains unknown, but while fused with a Kissplayer, the weapon seems to harness the ParisiTech fusion ability to absorb and transform surrounding matter. This process replicates a system that rapidly rotates the barrel, continuously loading, firing, and ejecting bullets. (The material composition of the mechanism remains unknown.) The firing rate exceeds 12,000 rounds per minute, with no detectable lag before reaching full rotation speed, and the bullets do not drift in the direction of the barrel's rotation. Remarkably, the weapon appears to have an unlimited ammunition supply, showcasing an advanced technology that belies its simple appearance. The machine gun features four barrels. The choice of pylons as catalysts is speculated to be a strategic one, likely intended to prevent the requisition of surrounding private and public property during operations. Additionally, pylons are easy to transport in large quantities, making them practical for field use.

He returned the Matrix to Ultra Magnus, reverted to his Hot Rodimus form, and journeyed alone to Earth to recover Optimus Prime's body.




Transformers Kiss Player Timeline TRANSFORMERS KISS PLAYER CHRONOLOGICAL TABLE 

150 Billion Years Ago
●The universe was created through the Big Bang, referred to as the 'Zodiac.'
120 Billion Years Ago
●The birth of the galaxy and the alien scientist “Primacron” is born. ● Primacron designs a sentient, planet-sized robot lifeform named “Unicron”. Unicron, which sustains itself by consuming both a planet's resources and other robotic entities, soon begins a rebellion. In the ensuing chaos, Primacron is severely injured, and his assistant, “Oracle”, narrowly escapes. ● Oracle journeys to a barren, desolate planet at the galaxy's heart and transforms it into a vibrant, lush paradise. ● The verdant world created by the Oracle is seized by the Quintessons and repurposed into a massive robot lifeform production factory, now known as the mechanical planet Seibertron. Simultaneously, the Quintessons capture the Oracle's essence, the Matrix, and transform the Oracle, who possessed the power to imbue robots with life, into the ultra-computer Vector Sigma. This ultra-computer's control key has the ability to mechanise organic matter, which is used to convert Seibertron into a fully mechanised world. ● The Quintessons engineer a rudimentary robot life form known as a "Transorganic," but their creation fails to meet their expectations. Disappointed, they imprison it in a remote, isolated region of the universe. ● The Quintessons begin mass-producing robot life forms for both civilian and military purposes, laying the groundwork for the future "Cybertrons" and "Destrons." The very first of these creations is designated "A-3."
11 Million Years Ago
● The intelligent robots begin to develop emotions, and under the leadership of A-3, they rebel against their creators, the Quintessons, ultimately wiping them out from the planet. With their oppressors gone, the golden age of Seibertron begins. ● A conflict erupts between the Destrons, a militaristic species determined to rule Seibertron with an iron fist, and the Cybertrons, a civilian species striving to prevent their tyranny. The tension escalates into a full-scale war. ● The Cybertrons, lacking any combat abilities, were mercilessly slaughtered, forcing many to abandon their home planet and flee. ● The Matrix is passed down as the symbol of leadership for the Cybertrons, accumulating the wisdom and experiences of its bearers over time. ● In response, the Cybertrons developed the ability to transform their bodies. However, several hundred years later, the Destrons also acquired this technology, marking the birth of the 'Transformers' (hereafter referred to as TF). ● Scientists Starscream and Skyfire embark on an exploration of Earth and its solar system, but Skyfire crashes in the Arctic and disappears.
9 Million Years Ago
● Deep within the Planet Seibertron, the Emperor of Destruction, Megatron, is created and rises to become the leader of the Destrons. ● Megatron defeats the leader of the Cybertrons, leaving the Matrix in the care of the elder, Alpha Trin (A-3). ● Orion Pax, a Cybertron cargo carrier, is critically injured in an attack by Megatron but is repaired by Alpha Trin and reborn as Commander Convoy, the new bearer of the Matrix. ● War erupts between the Destrons, led by Megatron, and the Cybertrons, commanded by Convoy. ● Megatron employs the brainwashing machine known as the 'Robo Smasher' to expand his ranks, with the Buildrons and Omega Supreme among its victims. ● As the war escalates, ordinary citizens who lack the ability to transform—known as Seibertronians—flee their home planets in search of new refuges. Notable examples include the migration to the planet Paradron during the Fourth World War and the exodus to the planet Master 4 million years ago. 
A Long Time Ago
● The Godmaster travels to Earth with the God Messenger, a life form known as Devil Z. When their craft crashes, the Godmaster shatters into eight fragments and falls into a deep slumber. ● A rogue Destron faction known as the Insectrons arrive on Earth, where they establish themselves by consuming food and minerals for sustenance.
4 Million Years Ago
● With their resources dwindling, the Cybertrons, under Convoy's leadership, embark on a space expedition aboard the spaceship the 'Ark.' Meanwhile, the Destrons, led by Megatron, pursue them in the 'Nemesis.' Both ships are drawn into Earth's gravitational field, leading to their crash and a prolonged period of dormancy.
3 Million Years Ago
● The Destrons, led by the new-generation Megatron, and the Cybertrons, commanded by the new-generation Convoy, arrive on Earth via transwarp. To adapt to the planet’s environment, they scan and transform into local animals. This marks the beginning of the “Beast Wars”. ● In the year 2005, Starscream's soul—later known as the Mutant Spark, his unique immortal essence—travels across time and space to Earth after his death in battle. He possesses a future Decepticon and operates in secret, but his efforts are ultimately unsuccessful. Reverting to a spectral form, he fades into the depths of time and space. ● When the Future Cybertrons thwart an alien experiment on Earth conducted by the Vok, the planet's re-terraforming process begins. To halt this, the Next Generation Convoy sacrifices his own life. As a consequence, Earth loses one of its two moons—the mechanical moon—and a cataclysmic event known as the 'Quantum Surge' occurs. ● The Future Cybertrons interfere with the birth and evolution of early humans, the ancestors of mankind. ● To halt the time disruptions caused by the next-generation Megatron, the future Destron leaders, the “Trypticon Council” dispatches a future operative 'Jaguar' as an assassin aboard a transwarp-capable spaceship. However, Jaguar is ultimately defeated. ● The next-generation Megatron, having unearthed the Ark spaceship from the volcano known as 'St. Hilary,' attacks the first-generation Convoy who is in stasis aboard the vessel in an attempt to alter history. This action triggers a space-time storm, but the next-generation Convoy manages to prevent the disaster. ● The Future Cybertrons capture the Next Generation Megatron and return to their own time together.
Millions of Years Ago
● The Cybertrons who had previously visited Earth left behind a robot system known as 'Brave Maximus' to safeguard the planet's Gaia energy. The activation of this system was secured by multiple layers of protection. 
500,000 Thousand Years Ago
● The Destron leader, Deathsaurus, schemes to conquer the universe with a planet-destroying fortress. However, the young Cybertron warrior Star Saber and his allies manage to trap the fortress in the gravitational field of the Dark Nebula.
Thousands of Years Ago
● During the Stone Age, the 'Destron Pretenders' entered the solar system, and the 'Cybertron Pretenders' who were pursuing them both crashed on Earth. Stranded without a ship to return home, the Cybertrons disguised themselves as humans and captured the Destrons, who had assumed the guise of demons. The captured Destrons were sealed away in the pyramids of Egypt, the geoglyphs of Peru, and the underwater city of Atlantis. ● A group of Cybertrons from the future travel to Earth to activate Brave Maximus, but their spaceship crashes into Angel Mountain. Since then, the incident has been remembered by humanity as a UFO legend.
543 Years Ago
● A human from the year 1985, along with the Cybertrons, Starscream, and several other Destrons, arrive on Earth through a time-space transfer system from ancient ruins. They become entangled in a territorial dispute but manage to return to their own time with the assistance of an old man who claims to be a wizard.
14th Century
● Millions of years ago, humans excavated a crashed spaceship on Earth and discovered the 'Power Core,' a weather control unit from the planet Seibertron. The activation of the Power Core triggered a catastrophic disaster, but the Persian king of the time sealed it in a golden shell, named it the 'Pearl of Jehuddin,' and buried it deep underground once more.
1980s
● With the war on Cybertron having subsided, some Seibertronians set out to search for the missing Convoy and the Matrix he carries, dispatching an expedition fleet. However, an accident causes their ship to be struck by a dimensional vibration wave, shifting it into another dimension and causing it to crash-land on Earth. As a result, they gain the ability to transform, becoming 'Micromasters,' though some also unintentionally turn into Destrons due to side effects. ● The divided Micromasters ignite a war on Earth. Meanwhile, the Cybertron Micromasters discover a piece of Seibertronian metal bearing a Future Decepticon emblem at the base of Mount St. Hillary in the United States. They establish and defend the ruins, now known as 'Metro Base.' ● The Cybertron Micromasters unearth a pod from the ground. The plasma released from the pod creates a dimensional rift, through which the 'Multi Squadron' arrives from the future.
1985
● The eruption of Mount St. Hilary activates the computer ‘Teletraan 1’ aboard the spaceship Ark. The TFs on both sides of the ship are repaired and adapted to resemble Earth's technology. Regenerated first-generation Megatron, now leading Starscream and his allies, starts extracting Earth's energy resources and sending them to their depleted home planet. This provokes a confrontation with the first-generation Convoy and his allies, sparking a battle which also draws in the humans. ● Destron Air Commander Starscream uncovers his long-lost friend Skyfire from an iceberg in the Arctic. However, upon Skyfire's reactivation, the two become estranged. Skyfire subsequently joins the Cybertrons. ● Megatron conspires with the human scientist Dr. Arkeville, using a 'hypnochip' developed by Arkeville to brainwash and enslave many Earthlings. Megatron then builds a massive space bridge, pulling the planet Cybertron into orbit around Earth. This creates an unprecedented catastrophe due to the planet's gravitational pull, but Convoy and the other Cybertrons intervene to stop it. ● Dr. Hamada and his team from Japan successfully create the robot 'Nightbird.' However, it goes out of control and is ultimately sealed away from the Destrons. Despite this, Nightbird represents a significant advancement in Earth-made robotics. ● Starscream and his allies use a time-space transfer system found in the ruins of Earth and find themselves transported to Europe in the year 543 AD. They eventually return to the future with the Cybertrons in pursuit. ● Megatron creates an electric lifeform known as 'Kremzeek,' which triggers the notorious blackout in Tokyo. ● To activate Vector Sigma, crucial for boosting the production of the struggling Cybertronian species, Alpha Trion, an elder of Cybertron, merges with Vector Sigma, becoming its activation key and uniting with it. ● Nine million years ago, the Cybertron Airbot Division, created by Vector Sigma, was abandoned on the planet Seibertron by a time machine built by Decepticon Military Operations Commander Laserwave. However, they intervened in the creation of the first Convoy before returning to their own time. ● Three students in the United States created a robot named 'BO.T.' However, it goes berserk after being fitted with components from the Decepticon sniper 'Brawl.' ● The first Megatron manipulates the 'Golden Disc' aboard the Voyager star probe, launched in 1977, leaving instructions to alter history. He orders the destruction of the first Convoy, who lay dormant in the Ark in the past, should the Destrons be defeated in the future. ● With the cooperation of the Cybertrons and some humans, the 'Scramble City Project' is launched, resulting in the completion of a giant city robot named 'Metroflex.' Meanwhile, the Destrons complete their own Dinobase, 'Dinosaurer.'
Early 1990’s
● A team of experts led by Dr. Faireborn takes on a massive international terrorist organisation in the United States. Meanwhile, Shaoshao Li's parents relocate their Chinese restaurant to New York, where Shaoshao, feeling isolated, befriends a young girl named Melissa.
1996
● During a mission, Dr. Faireborn and his daughter Melissa are rescued by Convoy. Following this, Melissa forms a close bond with Convoy and the other Cybertrons. However, Shaoshao Li, feeling that Melissa—the only person who truly understood her—has been taken away by the Cybertrons, begins to distrust the Transformers. ● Shaoshao Li's Chinese restaurant relocates to Japan, but she is unable to reconcile with Melissa and Convoy, leaving her with lingering resentment toward them.
Late 20th Century
● The US government has officially announced to the world for the first time the following: "coexistence with the Cybertrons," "the existence of the Decepticons," and "the intention to wage war. ● The US military and the Cybertrons jointly developed a strategic robot named "C-X." Although it was mass-produced, the robot was ultimately taken over by Starscream’s ghost, who had travelled from the future. The C-X went out of control and was subsequently destroyed. ● The Japanese government secretly forged a pact with the Destrons, agreeing to tolerate energy harvesting in exchange for the country's safety. However, the arrangement backfired when Frenzy orchestrated a devastating artificial earthquake, causing extensive damage. ● The Trigger, a gateway for low-level interstellar travel, was developed through a collaborative effort between Earthlings and Cybertrons. ● Starscream arrives from the future in his spirit form and merges with the Trigger, an interstellar travel gate. He initiates a rebellion, but is ultimately defeated by Convoy and Megatron. The battle leaves the majority of both armies injured, and both Convoy and Megatron vanish in the aftermath.
2000
● The "Destron Elite," a group of Destrons from the future, cross dimensions to Earth with the goal of seizing Brave Maximus, a Cybertron left behind millions of years ago. To counter this threat, "Fire Convoy," the commander of the future Cybertron Dimensional Patrol, secretly constructs the "Cybertron Net" on Earth and then goes into hiding. The Dimensional Patrol consists of a new generation of Transformers, including the "Spy Changers," who evolved from the development of the "Go-Bots." ● The Cybertron spaceship that crashed into Angel Mountain thousands of years ago is excavated by the Destrons. The crew is then regenerated and reformatted into Destrons. ● The Cybertrons activate Brave Maximus, whose power enables Fire Convoy to defeat the Destron "Devil Gigatron."
2003
● Under an alliance between humans and Cybertrons, the Earth Defence organisation "EDC" is established. Negotiations with Cybertron ambassador Crosscut and others lead to the commencement of construction on "Cybertron City" on Earth. ● The remaining members of the Cybertron Dimension Patrol detect a new threat and upgrade their Spy Changer squad to Super Mode. ● Anticipating that Megatron is preparing for a full-scale war to conquer Cybertron, the Autobots relocate many of their personnel from Earth to Cybertron and make preparations for the impending conflict. ● Due to Destron sabotage involving the metal pathogen "Cosmic Rust," many Cybertrons suffer irreparable damage. With their defences compromised, the EDC initiates the "Binaltech Project," a human-led initiative to develop new Transformers.
2004
● Megatron launches his war to conquer Cybertron, leaving the Cybertrons unable to provide support to Earth. Meanwhile, the Binaltech warriors, developed on Earth, achieve outstanding results. Together with the E.D.C., they eliminate all Destrons in the solar system. ● Starscream, the commander of the Destron assault on Earth, forms an alliance with Dr. Arkeville and the secret society "Concurrence," composed of dangerous Earth criminals. Leveraging advanced brainwashing technology, they subjugate humanity, seize control of several major industrial cities, and create the Destron Binaltech. ● Earth plans to activate Brave Maximus, the "Cybertron Base" central to the Scramble City plan, using the Cybertronian mineral "Solitarium." ● The new generation Megatron, who was active on Earth 3 million years ago, emerges through a dimensional rift known as the "Blastizone." This next-generation Megatron quickly overpowers Starscream, the commander of the Earth assault, and seizes control of the Destrons on Earth. ● The Cybertrons on Earth, led by Convoy, come under attack from the Destrons, now commanded by the next-generation Megatron. During the battle, Convoy's memory data from his encounter with a future Transformer aboard the Ark 3 million years ago is reawakened. Simultaneously, a space-time storm erupts, summoning the next-generation Convoy, who was active on Earth during that same period. ● To address the shortage in the Cybertron Earth Defence Force, they successfully developed the "GT System," which creates clones with identical personalities that share the same "Life Force" (soul). However, the potential side effects of this technology remain unknown. ● Under the leadership of the E.D.C., Japan pioneers the creation of artificial Transformers—replica automatons equipped with advanced artificial intelligence. ● To investigate the truth behind the 'Bad Production Incident' and the creation of the Destron Binaltech, an expert team led by Dr. Faireborn conducts "Operation Car Wash" in collaboration with Meister and other Cybertrons. ● The Cybertrons "Star Saber" and "Victory Leo" emerge from their era in pursuit of Destron Assault Captain Gigant Bomb, who has travelled from Blastizone in the future.
2005
● Remnants of the disbanded US intelligence agency "Triple I" analyse the flight recorder from a future Transformers spaceship, an artefact excavated and preserved in the last century. Within it, they uncover the "Central Consciousness File X9" of Jaguar, a future Decepticon. To revive him as the Binaltech "Ravage," they use the life force of a modern Jaguar held captive by the E.D.C. However, upon realising his original plan to alter history 3 million years ago had failed, Ravage begins a new attempt to change the course of history. ● After traversing the Bloody Zone (*note: misspelling, this should read “Blastizone”), Lio Convoy arrives on Earth in a distant future where the human race has been wiped out. ● Ravage repaired the time machine "Chrono Sphere," originally built by the Destron Laserwave, and used it to seal the main Destron forces of Planet Seibertron—including Megatron, who was on the verge of victory—along with their mobile fortress, within a dimensional rift. His goal was to isolate the Destrons from the impending destruction that Unicron would bring, allowing only the Cybertrons to be exhausted in the battle against Unicron. Once Unicron was defeated, the preserved Destrons could then rise to dominate unopposed. ● The "Bio & Tech Spec" files, which contain the personal data of all Transformers on Earth and Teletraan 1, are mysteriously destroyed. In response, the Information Control Bureau's humanoid computer, "Mobile Teletraan 15," is assigned by its superior, Director Black Panther, to transwarp to various eras and recover the lost data. ● The missing Megatron is resurrected as "Reverse Megatron" using the black hole linking system of "Reverse Convoy" on Planet Vehicon. ● Wheeljack, a Cybertron engineer, learns from Ravage that many Cybertrons, including himself, will be killed in the Unicron War. To prevent this, he identifies the GT System, which enables the duplication of identical personalities, as the source of the threat. In response, Wheeljack devises the "Body Shop Plan," creating an avatar of himself to counteract the impending danger. ● Wounded in the fierce battle over the Solitarium, Earth's Convoy gains the power of the Energon Matrix, which has been held by many Convoy warriors from various eras who had gathered there. With this newfound strength, he decisively eliminates the Destron on Earth. The Cybertrons then use the remaining Solitarium to send both the summoned Cybertrons from other eras and the captured Destrons back to their respective times. ● Through the "Interplanetary Talent Exchange Program," initiated to recognise the efforts of Cybertron Police Officer Clampdown, several Cybertrons, including the security guard Alert and the warrior Sunstreaker, partner with humans and integrate into human society. This initiative aims to foster harmonious coexistence between Cybertrons and Humans. ● To restore history disrupted by Ravage's interference, Operation Distant Thunder is launched under the command of Cybertron theorist Skids. He sends a warning ahead of Binaltech Ravage's regeneration. If successful, history will be set right, but at a significant cost: the Cybertrons will be defeated by the Destrons, Megatron will rule over Seibertron, and the colossal space monster Unicron will arrive. ● Unicron has not yet arrived. ● On Earth, following a duel between the leaders of the two armies, Convoy is killed in battle. The gravely injured Megatron is resurrected by Unicron as "Galvatron," who then executes Starscream. The Matrix is transferred to the new leader, "Ultra Magnus," and its power is unleashed by the young Cybertronian "Hot Rodimus," who rapidly evolves into "Rodimus Convoy." Galvatron is cast into space, where he is consumed by the darkness and the light of the Matrix ultimately destroys Unicron. Rodimus Convoy is then appointed as the new commander of the Cybertrons. ● Galvatron crashes to Earth, igniting Tokyo in a devastating blaze. This catastrophic event fuels a surge in anti-Transformer sentiment, particularly in Japan. ● In response to the growing anti-Transformer sentiment, some pro-Transformer factions and Cybertrons, including sentient Cybertron-like metal beings determined to earn the trust of the Japanese, conduct rescue operations in Tokyo to aid those affected by the crisis. ● Despite efforts to counteract the anti-Transformer sentiment, public hostility grew uncontrollable and quickly spread worldwide. Eventually, a plan was adopted to forcibly expel Transformers from Earth, with the EDC and Tokyo at the forefront of this initiative. While some speculate that the secretive Concurrence orchestrated this abrupt shift, the truth behind the sudden change remains uncertain. ● EDC Tokyo summons the "Kiss Players," individuals with newly discovered special abilities from across the country, and initiates a campaign to forcibly eliminate Transformers. This effort is bolstered by the rapid mass production and deployment of white artificial Transformers known as "Autoroopers." ● The EDC successfully develops an "anti-electron field" that drastically impairs the vital functions of Transformers. As a result, all Transformers on Earth are compelled to evacuate the planet. ● Deeply troubled by the conflict his actions have sparked between humanity and the Transformers, Rodimus Convoy relinquishes his title as Commander and returns the Matrix to Ultra Magnus. He then reverts to his Hot Rodimus form. ● Opposed to the EDC's unilateral expulsion of the Transformers, some citizens form a resistance movement and begin their efforts to counteract the removal. Melissa is among the key members of this resistance.
2006
● After expelling all Transformers from the city, Tokyo embarks on a rapid reconstruction effort, employing advanced technology to rebuild and revitalise the city. ● In May, a previously unknown Transformer species known as the "Legion" emerges on the surface of the planet, where peace had recently been restored. The Legion occupies a city and targets only a small segment of the population, seemingly under specific, yet unclear, conditions. ● With the appearance of the Legion, EDC Tokyo forms the "Autorooper Corps" and deploys Autoroopers, now painted in distinctive two-tone colours, to drive the Legion away. ● In June, Atari’s parents are brutally murdered by the Legion. ● When Atari is attacked by the Legion, she merges with Shaoshao Li's Autotrooper “Ne-04,” which had arrived on the scene. This fusion unlocks her berserker-like abilities, enabling them to defeat the Legion. Atari is also revealed to be a Kiss Player. ● Selected individuals are chosen to join the EDC Tokyo Autotrooper Corps. ● Starscream’s ghost, executed in the previous Unicron War, possesses a human host. Utilising his newfound Kiss Player ability, he attempts to merge with a new body created by Dr. Arkeville but ultimately fails, reverting to his spectral form. ● Convoy's body is airlifted from Cybertron City, U.S.A., to Tokyo via Narita Airport. During the transfer, the Resistance mounts an attack, causing the operation to fail. Convoy’s body is subsequently fused with an out-of-control Autotrooper by ParisiTech. Meanwhile, a Kiss Player from the Resistance regenerates Convoy into a new form, reviving him in the process. ● Shaoshao Li is imprisoned at the E.D.C.'s Tokyo Underground Experimental Plant, where the Legion attempts to fuse with her. However, Hot Rodimus arrives just in time to save her. Using ParisiTech, Hot Rodimus merges with the Legion and is reborn into a new form, enhanced by Shaoshao Li's Kiss Player ability. Subsequently, Shaoshao Li is forced to go on the run from the E.D.C.

Atari Hitotonari (from the included character card and booklet)
○ Race: Human Kiss Player
○ Function: E.D.C.
○ Partner: Autorooper Ne-04
○Profile:
She keeps her distance from others to avoid getting hurt, yet beneath this protective barrier, she feels a deep sense of loneliness and longing for connection. She ranks second in her class academically. She isn't skilled in sports and lacks physical strength. She enjoys vegetables and fruits but cannot eat meat. She believes that eating animals is unacceptable. Like the other Kiss Players, her powers suddenly emerged in 2005. She was recruited by the Earth Defense Command (E.D.C.) but chose to decline the offer. However, after losing her parents to the mysterious Transformer group “Legion”, which began advancing towards the capital, Tokyo, she joined the E.D.C. Tokyo Autorooper unit. She was assigned as the partner of the artificial Transformer “Autotrooper Ne-04”, a unit capable of transforming from a police car into a robot.
○ Ability:
Autorooper is partnered with a Kiss Player. A Kiss Player is an individual with special abilities who can fuse with a Transformer through a kiss, thereby granting the Transformer enhanced powers.
○ Weakness
Despite being partnered with an Autotrooper that transforms into a police car, she suffers from severe motion sickness and will vomit if she is not gripping the wheel. 

Autorooper (from the included booklet)
● Affiliation: E.D.C.
● Function: Police Officer
● Transformation: Patrol Car
● Ability: Created by the Earth Defence Force (E.D.C.), this artificial Transformer is designed specifically for anti-Transformer operations.
● Character:
Shrunk to an extremely tiny size by the power of Atari Hitotonari's kiss, he uses his miniature, toy car-sized body to infiltrate tight spaces and take down Legion!
● Weapon: Kremzeek Gun
A mass-produced artificial Transformer modelled after the original Transformers. Reportedly constructed underground by the Earth Defence Forces (E.D.C.) as a strategic weapon against Transformers, its technology remains shrouded in mystery. Like Transformers, it possesses emotions and operates autonomously, driven by its own will. They typically partner with humans, transforming into cars to patrol the city. Their standard weapon is the Kremzeek gun. There are 12 platoons currently equipped with four units. Each unit is designated by a number, and Atari's was 'Ne 04,' indicating the fourth vehicle in the Ne platoon. While all units share a baseline personality, new emotions develop based on their human partner.


Atariscream

Atariscream
● Function: Air Commander
● Ability: This is the form of the Destron Air Commander Starscream, who was killed in battle and subsequently possessed the human Kiss player Atari Hitotonari. Starscream, an ambitious Destron who sought to become the next leader, was destroyed by Galvatron during the Unicron War. Despite losing his physical form, his unique immortal life force allowed him to continue as a ghost, possessing other life forms and operating from the shadows in his quest to reclaim his own body.
● Character: Feared as the most ruthless, cold-blooded, and cruel Destron in the universe, he is also a former scientist known for his strategic brilliance. Despite his fearsome reputation, he remains a confident strategist with a cool, analytical approach to any situation. He believes that victory relies on cunning and speed rather than brute force. His ambition to one day rule the universe as the Great Emperor of Destruction remains undiminished, even in his form as Atariscream.
● Weapons: E.D.C. standard-issue pistol and an immortal soul.
