Story of Binaltech

BT-01 (Smokescreen)

The year is 2003, a little more than a decade since transformers and humankind made first contact. The world went through big changes after that, construction of cybertron city, formation of EDC (Earth Defense Command) And space travel. Mankind and Cybertrons has adapted to each other's lifestyle and share a common destiny. Utilizing a techno-virus "cosmic-rust", the Destrons managed to damage most of the Cybertrons to the extent beyond repair, using these tactics; most of the Cybertrons Earth's defence force fell. At the same time, Megatron was close to conquering Seibertron and managed to cut off the Cybertrons supply line between Earth and Seibertron. With a diminishing force, low supply and no reinforcement, the Cybertrons and mankind are almost on the verge of defeat when EDC came up with a last resort, "develop man-made transformer", thus project Binaltech was launched immediately.

With the coordination of the mother computer, Teletran-1, the world's leading industries and research facilities began to pour their resources to develop a humanoid transformable machine so as to counter this crisis.

The result is a range of earth made robot mould. By transferring the sparks of the damaged and infected Cybertrons to these new bodies, the warriors were reborn. This is the story how mankind and Seibertrons last hope, Binaltech transformers were born.

Arise! Evil Binaltech's

BT-05 (Dead End)

The EDC and newly reformatted Binaltech Cybertrons were able to drive the Destron forces out of the solar system. In full retreat, the Destrons broke into small groups and went into hiding on various planets across the galaxy, to make repairs and wait for a chance to strike back.

Meanwhile, on Earth, the evil scientist Dr. Arkeville, who was determined to break the Earth/Cybertron alliance, became human's greatest threat by forming a secret organisation dedicated to the cause. Believing the key to dissolve this alliance is to destroy the Binaltech project, seen as the symbol of Earth/Cybertron alliance. The existence of this secret organisation came to the knowledge of Starscream, who was in charge of the assault on earth, he made contact with Arkeville, both believed they can use the other for their own goal. Built on distrust and evil intent, a dark alliance was thus formed as they work together against the common enemy, the EDC and the Cybertrons. Using a hypnotising device developed by Dr. Arkeville, known as the Hypno Chip, and combined with a cerebro shell of the psychological warrior, Bombshell, a new advance method of brain washing technology was created. With it, they were able to infiltrate and take control of various scientific institutes as well as industrial cities without anyone knowing. They were also able to convert several EDC personnel into spies working for them. This allowed them to obtain the plans for Binaltech and perform it on their damaged Destron warriors, who now reactivated to be as powerful as the Binaltech Cybertrons. The general population, still unaware that some of them now lived under the control of this dark alliance, even helped to revive their enemies, are about to realise one of their worst fears. The one hope for humankind, Binaltech, has now become their greatest threat!

BT-07 (Smokescreen GT)

Binaltech transformers are the new race of warriors reborn with the help of Earth's humans utilising Seibertrons latest technology.

The appearance of evil Binaltech warriors impacted the Earth-Seibertron alliance strongly, but their shock did not stop there. Expecting the Destrons to launch a major counter offensive, the alliance prepared their defence by producing new Binaltech units. However, even with a host of new units, they lack the system to control them. Existing Cybertron forces that were upgraded into Binaltech bodies were still not enough against the Destrons, who were superior in number. Without a Transformer's laser core, the Binaltech units could not be activated, unlike regular programming and data files that can be copied; the core contained the personality of the transformer. Each core is unique in its own way, emitting a unique energy signal that is responsible for controlling the body. Even if the personality signal can be replicated, the technology to achieve that currently does not exist. But that did not stop Chip Chase, a pioneer researcher in transformers and a long time friend of the Cybertrons, to come up with a bold solution. He suggested using subspace communication links on the copied personality programmes in the Binaltech units, allowing the same core to fuel and control the copied units regardless of time and space. This became the new technology known as GT "Geneotronic Translink" system, with this system, one or more GT copied units can possess the same memory and "kind" personality as the host unit. With the GT system, a whole new frontier is now open to the Binaltech project.

Operation: Car Wash

BT-08 (Meister)

The Binaltech transformers are a group of new cybertron soldiers revived by the humans entrusted with Seibertrons technology. The Binaltech project, a symbol of the Earth/Cybertron alliance, rendered shock to the allies involved in reviving the Destron soldiers. With this event, an innocent team member was suspected. Fearing a rift in the project, the allies concealed the news with extensive movement, and prepared an emergency launch to find the truth, and breach in the Binaltech project by the Destrons: operation Car Wash. With this, the expert team led by Dr. Faireborn executes the secret investigation. Likewise, the Cybertrons also send out their top agents for investigation and resolution.

True Faces of Evil Revealed

BT-09 (Swindle)

From agent Faireborn's transmission:
Based on our investigation so far on the incident behind Destron warriors reformatting using Binaltech technology, we have uncovered that it is linked to a secret organisation who call themselves the "concurrence". The objective of this organisation is to destroy the alliance of humans and Cybertrons, made up of various criminal groups believed to have united through social clubs. Heading the group are 2 notorious terrorist leaders, Count von Rani and General Kreiger, and were financially backed by the vengeful Lord Chumleigh and Shawn Berger Jr.; who claimed their life was destroyed by the transformers. While it seems foolish that this group of people with stature would team themselves with the Destrons, it seems that someday they intend to get rid of all transformers, their ultimate agenda would be to turn the solar-system into robot prohibit resort area. It has been confirmed that none of the Binaltech project members are in the concurrence group. This is why brainwashing techniques were used to control some of the Binaltech project members, making them victims in this incident. We must contact Ultra Magnus of cybertron city immediately and inform him about this. He must locate and find a way to neutralise the brainwashing device as soon as possible. My transmission will end here, they will be breaking through the door soon… please tell my family that I will be spending a bit more time on moon colony for now…

Beast In The Machine

BT-10 (Grimlock)

On Seibertron, far from Earth, in an attempt to defeat Megatron and his war, a drastic battle took place with the main Cybertron army led by Convoy. Though the war continued to sway, the balance was broken by a fatal blow by the Destron army. It was a psychic attack using a primitive telepathic alien life-form called the "Unleashers". Due to this, the Dinobots -- the leading military strength in the Cybertron army -- lost control, one after the other, turning into savage beasts and caused the allied troops to suffer heavy losses. To put an end to this catastrophe, though a reluctant solution, they had to destroy the raging Dinobots with their own weapons. Afterwards, Grimlock alone recovered consciousness, and from his diagnostic results, the unknown psychic action was discovered to make the subroutine programs, of their natural and primal instincts of their dinosaur modes, go out of control. The removal process of the telepathic imprint was a difficult procedure, and with the increased lack of supplies from prioritised recovery operations, the Dinobots recovery seemed hopeless. However, the technician Wheeljack, noticing how the other Cybertrons were unaffected by the psychic imprinting, reported a backup plan to revive Grimlock through Earth's Binaltech project, until a definite cure was found. Carrying Grimlocks brain core, Wheeljack rushed straight to Earth.

Ghosts From The Past

BT-11 (Ravage)

With the arrival of the Transformers, numerous artefacts of Seibertronian origin were being discovered throughout the world. These artefacts were gathered by a secret intelligence agency, the "III" (Triple-I), formed in the late 20th Century America. Among these artefacts, an item in the form of a capsule of unknown elements was dubbed the "Schrödingers Box." Even after the agency was disbanded, some former Triple I staff members continued to secretly store these artefacts. Acquiring the advanced analysis equipment provided by the latest Transformer technology, they were able to find out that the box was actually a flight recorder from a Seibertronian spacecraft that stemmed from centuries into the future. Discovering that the device contained the memory records of the pilot who they were surprised to learn was the future version of one of their notorious enemies, the Destron Jaguar. They successfully made contact with "Central Conscious file X-9", they were able to communicate with it. In exchange for technology and knowledge of the future, they made an agreement with X-9 to provide him with a new body. By setting up a fake Binaltech project, X-9 became the new Binaltech warrior, "Ravage". But as Ravage discovered that the present had not changed at all, he realised that his attempt to alter the future, set out in the prehistoric battle known as The Beast Wars, had failed. Therefore he went back on his agreement, erasing all evidence and records of his rebirth, including the people involved. Not wanting to see the Destrons being defeated once more, Ravage now embarks on a mission to change history.

Reality Check

BT-12 (Overdrive)

Receiving reports that the main Cybertron military force on Seibertron were struggling against the odds, the Earth military, led by Ultra Magnus, pulled through the Destron attacks many times, and continued sending Cybertron City's energy reserves to the planet. After a certain period though, a number of the strategies planned by Overdrive, for the defence systems, were broken through by recurrent unnatural accidents. Coincidently, this led to a major incident when a transportation shuttle preparing to send energy reserves to Cybertron City, suddenly exploded. This was all a series of history-altering experiments carried out by Destron soldier Ravage, secretly behind the scenes in order to change the future. Needless to say, this had gone unnoticed by everyone. However, having the experience using the quantum dial and travelling through parallel worlds, Overdrive sensed a reality fluctuation at the time of one of the shuttle disasters, one similar to that felt during dimensional travel. This was indeed proof that someone out of their timeframe had twisted the history to be. Overdrive immediately explained the possibility of a "Time Attack" to the allied forces and urged them to be on full alert. If this were so, how could they possibly fight this threat that held such an absolute advantage?

Changing Lanes

BT-13 (Laserwave)

Despite the Alliances desperate investigations, Ravage continued to set his plans to alter history in motion. However, the steps he took in order to initiate his plan were incomprehensible to anyone else. Hijacking Wheeljack's shuttle which was temporarily returning to base, Ravage landed on the devastated Destron territory, in search of the remnants of the 'Kronosphere', a time machine once developed by Laserwave.

Shortly afterwards, determined to deliver the final blow to the Cybertrons who were on the verge of defeat, Megatron commanded his fleet of mobile fortresses to commence the assault. Realizing they could not hold their ground on Seibertron any longer, Convoy reached a decision and was about to order his forces to retreat to their moon bases. Just at that moment, the approaching armada of warships was suddenly surrounded by a large sphere of light and then disappeared without a trace. Ravage had managed to repair the Kronosphere and now used it on Megatron and his main assault force, transporting them into a rift in the space-time continuum, and sealing them there. Their leader and half their forces gone, the remaining Destrons were unable to hold back the Cybertrons counterattack and thus were quickly defeated. This outcome of the final battle of the year 2005 was different from the original course in history and ended with the defeat of the Destrons. As Ravage activated the time machines automated homing device, he uttered, "For the future of all Destrons. In time, a great darkness shall come, and there is no one who can stop it. Might as well let the Cybertrons face it alone, and when everyone has been weakened by the disastrous battle, Megatron shall return again!"

BT-14 (Wheeljack)

In the year 2005, with the victory of the Cybertrons, their home planet had finally been freed from the clutches of the Destrons. However, a disgruntled Wheeljack ignored his comrades' celebrations, as he knew their sudden victory was the work of an enemy from the future.

Right before the end of the war, when Ravage had hijacked Wheeljack's shuttle, he unveiled his plan to Wheeljack and even showed him images of the future from his memory. There inside the attacked shuttle, he saw the discarded bodies of Gong (Brawn) and Prowl, as well as the dead bodies of Charger (Windcharger) and himself in a corner of Cybertron City.

"If I change this future, then at least some will be saved. But you will be terminated one step earlier here." Barely escaping, Wheeljack was rescued by allied forces and subsequently witnessed the sudden change of history. The flow of time has changed indefinitely for now; however, is there a guarantee that they did indeed escape their deadly fate? If this reality is that of the one twisted by evil, then what waits beyond this victory is a dreadful trap. It must be returned to its proper flow before its too late -- but that would also mean bringing tragedy for his beloved comrades. Burdened by a heavy dilemma, Wheeljack pondered:

"There must be a way to cheat death." He immediately contacted Chip Chase on Earth.
