<hr />
<div>The '''Interplanetary Personnel Exchange Program''' is an [[Autobot]]/[[human]] alliance created to promote cooperation between the two alien races on [[Earth]]. <br />
<br />
Coordinated by Officer [[Clamp Down]], the effort was initiated during a particularly tumultuous time, when Transformer acceptance on Earth was at an all-time low. The Exchange Program sees humans from all walks of life, be they police officers, news reporters or super models, paired with like-minded Autobots, displaying unity and friendship between the races to a cynical humanity. Incidentilly, their purpose is not to join forces and battle [[Decepticon]]s, but to solve various daily human dillemmas, no matter how mundane they might be.<br />

===Background===<br />
<br />
In 2005, After [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] crash-landed in [[Tokyo]], decimating the city, the global opinion of Transformers on [[Earth]] took a considerable nosedive. Efforts were even made by the [[Earth Defense Command]] to evict the [[Autobot]]s from the planet. In response, Officer [[Clamp Down]] formed the Interplanetary Personnel Exchange Program to publically show the people of Earth how Autobot/human cooperation can benefit them in everyday life. {{storylink|Generation 1 cartoon timeline (Japan)#2005b|Kiss Players timeline}}<br />

Despite the ''point'' of the Interplanetary Personnel Exchange Program being to publically promote cooperation between Autobots and Humans, [[Red Alert (G1)|Red Alert]] chose to keep his position as partner to Japanese police Officer [[Ai Kuruma]] a secret to all but her. Together, they helped find a lost little boy and pull a cat out of a tree. {{storylink|Binaltech Asterisk (online comic)|Red Alert Meets Ai}}<br />

While going for a luxurious drive with his partner, [[Junko Shiragami]], [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]] was egged into a race with a pasing sportscar. He lost the race after taking too sharp a turn, demolishing a road sign, and was forced to stop at Junko's insistance. {{storylink|Binaltech Asterisk (online comic)|Sunstreaker Meets Junko}}<br />

While covering an auto show, [[TV Bureau]] announcer [[Lumina Hoshi]] was helpless to stop a lighting fixture from falling from the roof upon a crowd of people. Luckily, her partner [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] transformed and sprang into action, catching the fixture. {{storylink|Binaltech Asterisk (online comic)|Blaster Meets Lumina}}<br />

==Notes==<br />
<br />
*The Interplanetary Personnel Exchange Program was first mentioned in the [[bio]] of [[Clamp Down]] in 2003. The time-frame involved, the reasons for the program, and the characters of 2005's ''Binaltech Asterisk'' being part of it were all retconned in later, by the [[Generation_1_cartoon_timeline_(Japan)|2007 timeline]] published during the ''[[Kiss Players (franchise)|Kiss Players]]'' series.<br />
