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: 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.
● Weapon(s): Electro Pulse Gun
STR...6; INT...7; SPD...7; END...7; RNK...5; CRG...10; FPR...7; SKL...6
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.
● Weapon(s): Ion Charged Dispersion Rifle
STR...6; INT...6; SPD...7; END...9; RNK...5; CRG...2; FPR...9; SKL...7
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.
STR...5; INT...8; SPD...5; END...7; RNK...6; CRG...10; FPR...3; SKL...9
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.
● Weapon: Compressor Air Gun
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.
● Weapon(s): Black Beam Gun; Heat Seeking Incendiary Missiles; Dual Plasma
Shotgun
STR...6; INT...6; SPD...7; END...8; RNK...5; CRG...6; FPR...9; SKL...8
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

Meister BT-08
Function: Lieutenant
Transformation: Mazda RX-8
An expert in Earth's culture, Meister is the trusted right-hand man of
Convoy. Meister was one of the few not affected by Cosmic Rust. However, as
he is required to take special missions, involving secret investigation, he
agreed to transfer his spark into the new transformable body built by Mazda.
This not only gave him a flawless disguise for his saboteur missions, but
also equipped him with the new GT system. With his 'partner', a replicate
automation that inherited all of Meister's knowledge, they carry out all
kinds of dangerous missions, and not only complete them successfully, but
with style as well.
Weapon: Photon Rifle, Flamethrower
5, 9, 7, 7, 8, 9, 5, 10, 60
Meister BT-08
Function: Clone
Transformation: Mazda RX-8 red mica version
The second Meister, crimson in colour, is the result of the original BT-08
research, the Cybertron replicant automation. Constructed emulating Meisters
personality program, though still insufficient to call sentient robot life,
it still has a high level of independent action, and through Meisters remote
control, can fully participate in battle. Meister calls this AI brother
'Zoom Zoom', occasionally teaching him dance and music lessons.
Weapon: Photon Rifle, Flamethrower
Swindle BT-09
Function: Munitions Expert
Transformation: Jeep Wrangler TJ custom
Due to the BUDD production incident, the Destrons now have the same
Binaltech technology as the Cybertrons. Among the first wave of evil
Binaltech warriors reborn from the Destron Binaltech project is Swindle. A
specialist in black market trading and weapon manufacturing, Swindle is also
involved in developing strategic weapons, such as re-engineering the cosmic
rust virus that caused many Cybertrons to fall, which in turn initiated the
Binaltech project. At first glance, Swindle seems to have an easy going
character, in reality, he is an opportunist that will do anything to further
his own position and fulfil his own greed. He managed to put himself forward
as one of the first few Destrons to be formatted by the Binaltech
technology, even though there were other badly damaged Destrons that were
initially prioritised to be reformatted first.
Weapon: Gyro Gun, Scatter Blaster
5, 9, 5, 6, 6, 5, 7, 10, 53
Grimlock BT-10
Function: Lieutenant Commander
Transformation: Ford Mustang GT 2005
Leading the Dinobots into battles at the front line on Seibertron, Grimlock
fell victim to the enemies’ scheme resulting in the loss of his control of
his dinosaur form, and his body took a lot of damage. Grimlock realised it
would be difficult to repair his original body, but was eager to get back
into action as soon as possible. Grimlock agreed to any conditions; he went
to Earth and chose to become reformatted into a Binaltech Transformer. In
response to his determination, the Alliance provided him a body of the
largest power class, thus marked the birth of the most powerful Binaltech
warrior. Grimlock, now in his new Cybertron form is determined to continue
fighting the approaching Armageddon.
Weapons: Energon Sword, Twin Barrel Stun Laser
10, 4, 7, 10, 9, 10, 8, 9, 67
Ravage BT-11
battle ravage
Function: Saboteur
Transformation: Chevrolet Corvette
Excavated from a prehistoric layer, ‘File X-9’ was the base from which
Ravage was reborn. Possessing knowledge and memories of the future, Ravage
processes a fearsome presence. Using an electromagnetic emission shield and
the latest in Binaltech technology, he is able to hide his presence from
others completely, both in vehicle mode and robot mode. With his back
rockets and waist thrusters, Ravage is able to stay airborne for an extended
period of time. Operates best alone, and is crafty in devising deadly new
strategies. Seeking Destrons Forever to be the ruling faction, he regrets
not having been being successful in achieving his goal in the past. Ravage
now sees this as the perfect opportunity to change the future.
Weapons: Proton Bombs, Fusion Gun, Double Barrel Plasma Cutter
6, 8, 7, 8, 8, 4, 9, 10, 60
Overdrive BT-12
windcharger
Function: Strategist
Transformation: Honda S2000
With his calm yet sharp wits, he has turned the tables in many an
outnumbered battle. Functioning mainly with the rescue corps, he will rush
to those who call for aid. He will keep a stratagem thought out several
years ahead, and then move on to his mission location. His activities didn’t
stay in just one solar system, but reached other galaxies in time and space.
Following his transformation to the Binaltech technology, he remains as the
logistics hub for the Cybertron-Earth military alliance force. His affluent
experience with dimensional travel and acute sense of intuition with time
allows for his senses, which are more highly developed than his comrades, to
sniff out abnormal time flows.
Weapon: Omniblaster
9, 10, 9, 6, 9, 8, 6, 8, 65
Laserwave BT-13
shockblast
Function: Military Operations Commander
Transformation: RX-8 Mazdaspeed ver II
Second in power only to Megatron, this ambitious Destron leader approaches
his actions with cold and brutal logic. His body was destroyed in the chaos
caused by the alteration of Seibertron’s history. In this new world, the
Destron army had been severely weakened and scattered. In order to regroup
the remaining forces Laserwave was reborn as their new leader with the help
of Ravage. Able to manipulate electromagnetic wavelengths, he can fire a
wide variety of lasers from his left arm. Additionally, he is equipped with
powerful jet thrusters on both sides which provide him with the ability to
fly, as well as long-range vision that is capable of covering interplanetary
distances. Furthermore he possesses five holographic duplicates which he can
project to any coordinates on the planet at will.
Weapons: Turbo Rifle; Gun Arm
9, 10, 8, 6, 9, 9, 9, 9, 69
Wheeljack BT-14
Function: Tactical Diversion
Transformation: Mustang GT Street Tuning
After an encounter with Ravage, Wheeljack envisioned and witnessed a
nightmarish future. He then began his every effort to avoid this tragic fate
that would befall on himself and his comrades. Wheeljack chose the Ford
Binaltech body frame, known for its immeasurable strength and defences, as
the base for his new form, installing it with one of the improved GT
(Duplicate Unit) systems. His insatiable obsession towards survival can be
seen in the form of his new body. However, his drive to obtain greater power
and obsessive devotion to his research have become a major concern amongst
his comrades.
Weapons: Laser Strafer Rifle; Cryo Sword
10, 9, 7, 10, 8, 9, 8, 8, 69
Prowl BT-15
Function: Military Strategist
Transformation: Honda Integra Type-R
As the leading Cybertron to possess a logical evaluation ability, Prowl is
able to immediately analyse and advise any situation no matter how complex
it might seem. Because of this ability, he has become one of the most
valuable resources in a world where history manipulation threats were
exposed. Due to an unforeseen incident during his GT installation process,
the ‘Laser Core’ – the source of his life force was lost. But thanks to the
help of a courageous human, a new life force was breathed in. Retaining all
his prowess, profound devotion, gentle manners and his infinite endurance,
he prepares to guide the Cybertrons and their allies against the evil that
conspires behind the temporary peace.
Weapons: Acid Pellet Gun, Blight Stick
7, 10, 7, 9, 9, 9, 4, 9, 64
Skids BT-16
Function: Theoretician
Transformation: Toyota bB
Skids considers Earth one vast laboratory and constantly works on his
analyser circuitry, pondering over new knowledge and discoveries he makes on
Earth. Due to his tendency to daydream, every now and then he will find
himself in situations that cause him to suddenly brake down on the road. As
an anthropologist and researcher, Skids possesses a high performance scanner
with an enormous capacity for memory storage, and highly superior
intelligence which has made him a key member of the "Space Time Threat
Counter Unit". His right leg is equipped with a built-in rocket pod, and his
fingers are capable of emitting electron bursts of 100,000 volts
Weapons: Liquid Nitrogen Rifle.
4, 9, 5, 6, 8, 7, 5, 7, 51
Black
Convoy BT-17
nemesis prime
Function: Destron 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.
Weapons: Concussion Blaster
Rijie Electro Disruptor Version BT-18
Function:
Intelligence Officer
Transformation: Ford GT
Rijie’s desire to return to his home planet is much stronger than the
others; he volunteered for a possibly deadly mission of going back alone to
the underground of his home world which was under siege by the Destrons.
With the help of radical BT technology, his core is transferred into a new
super-critical body which will enable him to step foot on his own planet
completely unnoticed.
Weapons: Photon Laser, Anti-Armour Rocket Dart Hunting Pistol
BT-19 Cybertron Bluestreak
● Function: Gunner
● Transformation: Subaru Impreza WRX
● Weapon: Ion Charged Diffusion Rifle
STR...6; INT...6; SPD...7; END...7; RNK...5; CRG...2; FPR...9; SKL...7; TTL…51
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.
BT-20 Cybertron Argent Meister
● Function: Adjutant
● Transformation: Mazda RX-8 MAZDASPEED Version II
● Weapon(s): Photon Rifle, Flamethrower
STR...9; INT...9; SPD...7; END...10; RNK...8; CRG...9; FBL...5; SKL...10;
TTL…67
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
● Weapon(s): Dart Storm Gun; Riot Shield
STR...6; INT...8; SPD...8; END...9; RNK...5; CRG...8; FBL...9; SKL...7; TTL…60
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.
BT-22 Cybertron Convoy
● Function: General Commander
● Transformation: Dodge Ram SRT-10
● Weapon(s): Ion Blaster
STR...10; INT...10; SPD...8; END...10; RNK...10; CRG...10; FBL...8; SKL...10;
TTL…76
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. |
