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 reengineered 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(s): Electro Disruptor Rifle
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.

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. 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.

BT-04 Cybertron Scout Hound
- Function: Scout
- Transformation: Jeep TJ Wrangler
Developed in collaboration with DaimlerChrysler and High Technology Industries, the Cybertron tracker has been restored and is equipped with the latest detection capabilities. Hound loves the Earth’s natural environment and secretly longs to be human. He sees the Binaltech project as the first step towards his dream. As a strong supporter of the project, he is willing to test the new technology together with their accompanying risks. As well as his loyalty and bravery, he now has a higher level of perception thanks to high-precision sensors which have been installed throughout his body.

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 human 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.
- Weapon(s): Compressor Air Gun
Tech Specs: STR...7; INT...6; SPD...8; END...7; RNK...5; CRG...9; FPR...9; SKL...7
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 forcefield technology to bolster his defences.

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.
- Weapon(s): Electro Disruptor Rifle; Blaster Launcher
Tech Specs: STR...4; INT...9; SPD...8; END...6; RNK...6; CRG...8; FPR...8; SKL...9
BT-08 Cybertron Lieutenant Meister
- Function: Lieutenant
- Transformation: Mazda RX-8
Well-versed in Earth's culture and trusted as the Convoy Commander's right-hand man, Meister was one of the few members of the Cybertron Earth Command to escape the ravages of Cosmic Rust. However, to carry out a top-secret investigation crucial to the survival of the Binaltech Project, his consciousness was transferred to a transformable body made by Mazda. This provided him with a more discreet appearance and GT System-compatibility, resulting in his rebirth as a new Binaltech warrior. In conjunction with his partner, a replica automaton, he utilises his superior intelligence to execute dangerous missions with style.
- Weapon(s): Photon Rifle, Flamethrower

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.
- Weapon(s): Gyro Gun, Scatter Blaster
Tech Specs: STR...5; INT...9; SPD...5; END...6; RNK...6; CRG...5; FPR...7; SKL...10
BT-17 Destron Dark Commander Black Convoy
- Function: Dark Commander
- Transformation: Dodge Ram SRT-10
Wanting to create an evil leader, more powerful than Megatron, Black Convoy was created by Dr. Archeville by cloning the Cybertron Leader, Convoy. Using immense power and a subspace impulse cloner, Convoy’s personality was duplicated, but by employing a rewriting program, the original essence was twisted into an evil version.
- Weapon(s): Concussion Blaster
BT-18 Cybertron Spy Rijie (Electro Disruptor Mode)
- Function: Spy
- Transformation: Ford GT
Rijie’s feeling of nostalgia was greater than anyones so he jumped at the chance of a lone, potentially fatal, mission back to his homeworld now under Destron control. His extraordinary invisibility came about by accident when his core was transferred to a new body which had been created using cutting-edge Binaltech research. Rijie landed alone on his homeworld, surrounded by a myriad of enemies.
- Weapon(s): Photon Laser / Armour Piercing Rocket Dart Hunting Pistol
BT-19 Cybertron Bluestreak
- Function: Gunner
- Transformation: Subaru Impreza WRX
Streak is a warrior well known for his marksmanship and talkative nature. Hailing from the original timeline, separate from that of the Binaltech warriors, he is on a mission to save the lives of his comrades. As the existence of the Binaltech world is classified for the inhabitants of the “Official World”, only his core unit was transported to this world where he was given a Binaltech body so he could carry out local missions. Here, he became “Bluestreak”. The name is an expression of “tedious talk” as well as “blue line”. Amongst his many codenames, this one accurately represents his personality.
- Weapon(s): Ion Charged Diffusion Rifle
Tech Specs: STR...6; INT...6; SPD...7; END...7; RNK...5; CRG...2; FPR...9; SKL...7; TTL…51
BT-20 Cybertron Argent Meister
- Function: Adjutant
- Transformation: Mazda RX-8 MAZDASPEED Version II
Meister's latest upgraded form is equipped with a silver coating substance commonly known as "Argent," which significantly enhances his physical abilities and durability. This substance is an artificially synthesised replacement for the rare element "Electrum," which once sprang from the secret Golden Lagoon on Earth, bestowing Transformers with unmatched power. It not only permits power regulation through energy charge control but can also transform into a liquid form, facilitating the coating of any desired target. He holds a deep affection for Earth's culture and experiences an indescribable sense of unease regarding the ongoing situation, where the rapid proliferation of Binaltech technology is fundamentally altering human civilization.

BT-21 Cybertron Arcee
- Function: Warrior
- Transformation: Honda S2000
On one hand Arcee is kind hearted and loyal on the other hand she is a ruthless warrior towards her enemies. Her Binaltech body was given to her as an expendable shell so she could participate in high risk experiments for Binaltech research which has now become the subject of a global technological competition. The Binaltech body is tough enough to withstand hostile environments and unforeseen disasters but in an emergency her life core is quickly transferred to a safe environment. In combat, this body is not suited for the psychological games she was inherently good at but its resilience is extremely useful. Her main weapon, the Dart Storm Gun, is a powerful firearm which can continuously fire rounds of bullets from the long barrel by using electronic ignition.
- Weapon(s): Dart Storm Gun; Riot Shield
Tech Specs: STR...6; INT...8; SPD...8; END...9; RNK...5; CRG...8; FBL...9; SKL...7; TTL…60
BT-22 Cybertron Convoy
- Function: General Commander
- Transformation: Dodge Ram SRT-10
Ultra Magnus assumed control of the Matrix and the Cybertron army, while Convoy chose to observe and support the fate of the Binaltech world. Convoy adopted a new body reverse-engineered from a scan of his arch-enemy, Black Convoy, becoming a fresh Binaltech warrior. This illustrates his unwavering resolve to never tolerate the presence of "Evil Convoy" and serves as his solemn vow to defeat him. When his spark merges with the emissary from the future, known as the "Protector," his combat abilities are maximised. He can absorb, store, and retaliate against enemy attacks, and he's also capable of launching shuriken-shaped light bullets from his abdomen. These unique abilities are not part of the original Binaltech design.
- Weapon(s): Ion Blaster
Tech Specs: STR...10; INT...10; SPD...8; END...10; RNK...10; CRG...10; FBL...8; SKL...10; TTL…76
