[[File:Atari.jpg|upright=1|thumb]]

'''Atari Hitotonari''' (人隣当梨'' Hitotonari Atari'') is submissive, passive, immature even for her young age, and quite weak both in terms of physical strength and constitution, being prone to fits of motion sickness. As you can see, she's not off to a good start as far as defining characteristics go...so what's she good for? Well, she is fairly bright (she's second in her class), and she hates to see others suffer, an emotion mostly borne from the fact that she is so terrified of being hurt herself that she doesn't want to see anyone else feel pain either. In fact, she so deplores hurting other beings that she is a strict vegetarian, though she does like to gorge herself on doughnuts and other sweet desserts.

Atari's most important feature is that she is a hugely powerful [[Kiss Player]]. It was this ability that led her to join the [[Earth Defense Command]] and take part in its effort to eliminate the threat that [[Transformer]]s pose to all on Earth.

[[File:Kissplay1 atari fuses.jpg|225px|thumb|left|”Uhh… Atari, I don’t quite understand what could have happened…” “AND YET, IT DID! CAN YOU IMAGINE MY HORROR!?”]]

When the [[Decepticon]] leader [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] crash-landed on [[Earth]] in the year 2005, his impact utterly obliterated the city of [[Tokyo]] and shattered [[Transformer]]-human relations. The [[Earth Defense Command]] reverse-engineered Galvatron's corpse to create man-made Transformers named "[[Autorooper]]s", and forced all Transformers off of Earth, keeping them from returning to the planet by surrounding it with an [[anti-electron]] field.

In 2006, Atari's parents died in a Transformer-related accident, suddenly leaving the young girl alone, despondent, and resentful toward the giant robots. While alone one day, her mind consumed with the tragedy that had recently destroyed her life, she tumbled from the narrow wall on which she was walking. This proved to be as much as she could take, and she cried aloud that she wished to die, so she could be with her parents in the next world. But Atari did not expect that someone would answer her, when a voice emanated from a nearby car that inquired if that was what she truly wished. As the terrified Atari watched, the car transformed into a robot form: It was, in actuality, a [[Legion]], one of many monstrous creatures created when Galvatron's cells were dispersed into the atmosphere upon his impact and bonded with other animals and machines.

Faced with the very real possibility of death, Atari realized that she truly wished to live, and in answer to her prayers, an E.D.C. Autorooper appeared, barrelling into the Legion and smashing it aside. Before it could finish the creature off, however, the Autorooper dropped to its knees and disgorged E.D.C. member [[Shaoshao Li]], one of the organizations' "Kiss Player" operatives (humans who had been infused with Galvatron's cells and given the power to bond with other organisms containing them), right on top of her. As the Legion righted itself to continue its attack, the Autorooper instructed Atari to kiss it or she would die, but Atari hesitated, and the Legion tore the Autorooper's arm off. Realizing that inaction would only cause others pain in addition to herself, Atari kissed the Autorooper and discovered that she too was a Kiss Player as she merged with the robot, repairing its injuries and allowing it to decapitate their mutual enemy messily. Shocked by what she had done, Atari vomited and passed out.

Having observed the battle, E.D.C. commander [[Hitoshizuku Amaō]] took custody of the girl and brought her to E.D.C. headquarters. She awoke in an unfamiliar room, where she was greeted [[Ringo Chikuma]] of the [[Ne Squad]], who proceeded to unveil her sociopathic tendencies by biting Atari in order to "taste" her abilities. {{storylink|Kiss Players issue 1|Kiss Players #1}}

Atari subsequently formally joined the E.D.C. and was partnered with Shaoshao's Autorooper Ne-04, which left her cursed to live in the absent Shaoshao's impressive shadow. She bemoaned the fact that she had wound up partnered with a robot with a car mode when she was prone to car sickness, but she resolved to do her best to protect the Earth from Transformers. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #3}} She was disappointed that a robot had been the recipient of her first kiss and was thoroughly embarrassed by the whole kiss-fusion process, {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #6}} but she had great respect for her Ne Squad teammates {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #15}} and fought Legions alongside them. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #12}} She was unsure what to make of the Autoroopers, believing that she felt a sense of humanity within hers. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #24}}

Atari had a particularly unlucky experience when she ate an omelette that contained a minuscule Legion creature. The tiny monster immediately began causing havoc in her stomach, so Atari kissed her Autorooper, inexplicably causing it to shrink so that it could enter her body and fend the Legion off. Atari was not exactly in favor of the plan, but in typical fashion, acquiesced after only the weakest of protestations. As the battle played out in her guts, she grew even more embarrassed when the Autorooper discovered the remains of various desserts she had snuck out to eat the night before. The Autorooper eventually destroyed the Legion by hurling it into her digestive fluid, and then talked Atari into sticking her finger down her throat and vomiting him up. She wasn't happy. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Atari's Close Call?!}} Atari asked Commander Amaō about the surprising shrinkage of her Autorooper, and the commander told her that some Transformers simply possessed that power. Atari was later horrified when the shrunken Autorooper crawled inside her shirt while she was daydreaming about desserts. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #21}}

[[File:Atariscream2.jpg|thumb]]

While visiting the bathroom one day, Atari suddenly found herself possessed by the ghost of the Decepticon Air Commander [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]], who had learned of the power of Kiss Players from the data banks of [[Teletraan 15]]. Starscream burst from the bathroom in control of Atari's body and immediately began threatening the other Kiss Players, but found that none of them were taking him seriously...because he'd forgotten to pull up Atari's underwear. {{storylink|Starscream? Volume 3}} Starscream kept his hold on Atari, and through her, tracked down his old ally [[Doctor Arkeville]], who converted a jet fighter into a new body for him. Atari kissed the jet and transferred Starscream's ghost into it, but it was almost immediately destroyed by the E.D.C.'s forces. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #27}}

When the E.D.C. were put in charge of transporting the dead body of [[Autobot]] leader [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] into [[Tokyo]], Atari was among the troops providing an escort. Soon, a commando unit led by [[Marissa Faireborn]] attempted to reclaim Prime's body, and Atari was rendered helpless when Marissa sliced her clothes off with a knife, fused with the resurrected Prime and ran away. {{storylink|Kiss Players issue 2|Kiss Players #2}}

Life within the E.D.C. progressively proved harder and harder for Atari, as Ringo continued to subject her to repeated acts of whim-driven cruelty, {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #30}} and the mysterious disappearance of Shaoshao weighed heavily on her mind. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #18}} In civilian life, she found a friend in Marissa Faireborn, but this only lasted until the two girls each discovered who the other truly was and sadly accepted that their positions made them enemies. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #13}} Nevertheless, Marissa and Optimus Prime proceeded to save Atari from Legion threats several times, but this only made Atari worry that Marissa must be a better kisser that her, if her robot partner was stronger. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #9}}

Depressed over the fact that she had yet to achieve a second successful fusion with her Autorooper since that first fateful day, Atari was moping around E.D.C. headquarters when her Autorooper surprised her by silently raising its palm and offering her a flower. Angry and miserable, Atari smacked the flower from the robot's hand and ran away. Atari's fellow E.D.C. Kiss Player, [[Kayu Michikusa]], observed the clash and followed Atari out of the base, catching up to her on a hill overlooking the city and presenting her with a flower chain made using the bloom the Autorooper had picked. Having experienced an all-too-rare act of genuine friendship, Atari's spirits began to rise. Sadly, it didn't last long, as she returned to base still wearing the flower chain and immediately caught Ringo's sadistic eye. The deranged girl began eating the flowers and tried to share them with Atari by kissing them into her mouth. Atari was literally saved by the bell as an alarm went off, signalling a Legion attack, and Ringo scampered away to respond.

[[File:Kissplay3 atari stops fight.jpg|225px|thumb|left]]

Her status quo of perpetual misery restored, Atari composed herself and followed, discovering the source of the crisis: Optimus Prime and Marissa were leading an army of Legions down on E.D.C. headquarters! Before the Ne Squad could attack, a further surprise occurred: the Autobot [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] arrived on the scene, now Kiss Player partners with the missing Shaoshao! The E.D.C.'s Kiss Players fused with their Autoroopers, save for Atari, and plunged into the middle of the battle, but were sent flying by a swing of Prime's sword. Fearing for the safety of her friends, Atari made an impassioned plea to her Autorooper to help her save them, and at last, the robot responded to her and transformed to robot mode, kneeling so it could be kissed. Atari did so, and finally, the pair fused together once again and sprang into action, turning back the Autobots and Legions. {{storylink|Kiss Players issue 3|Kiss Players #3}}

Her friendship with Kayu growing, Atari made plans to go on a trip with the girl. But as one relationship improved, another deteriorated, as Ringo's torture sessions grew worse and worse. Atari's pleas to Kayu for help fell on deaf ears, and so Atari spitefully broke off the trip. The next day, however, Atari discovered that Kayu had been transferred to another squad, {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #33}} and she soon learned from her other teammates that Kayu had previously been subject to Ringo's "attentions" before Atari came along. This discussion was cut short by a sudden emergency: Kayu's Autorooper was running amok. Atari believed that she could hear Kayu's voice coming from within the robot, but Ringo sprang into action and mercilessly gunned it down despite Atari's pleas. Overcome with emotion, Atari blacked out...and when she awoke, she could hear Ringo screaming...and her Autorooper's hands were stained with blood. In losing control of herself and her Autorooper, it appeared, Atari had taken revenge for herself and her friend. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #36}}

When Optimus Prime staged another attack on E.D.C. headquarters, once again backed by a phalanx of Legions, Atari fused with her Autorooper to join the fight. When her fusion time expired, she discovered Marissa and Shaoshao in the middle of the battlefield, having just finally set aside the differences that had caused them to fight up until now. Together, the three girls vowed to uncover the mysteries lying at the heart of the E.D.C. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #37}} Venturing into the [[Genital System]] facility beneath the E.D.C. building, the girls and their robot partners discovered the remains of Galvatron, before a door came slamming down, separating Atari from the rest of the group. Commander Amaō appeared before her and explained the full extent of her plans: [[Shizuku Amaō|her daughter]], Atari learned, had died in Galvatron's impact, but Amaō had discovered that her soul had somehow been preserved in the Legions. Experimenting with Legion remains and Kiss Players who had outlived their usefulness, Amaō believed she could recreate her daughter in a Kiss Player body, and had originally selected Shaoshao for the process. Her plans changed when she discovered Atari, whose yet-to-be-realized Kiss Player powers made her an even better candidate for the process, and she had approached Atari's parents in hopes of recruiting the girl into the E.D.C. Atari's parents had refused, and so Amaō had orchestrated their deaths to lead Atari into her clutches. Amaō began her plan, but Atari fought against the fusion process, remembering her friendless childhood and how far she had come. Fusing with her Autorooper, she seized Galvatron's body and blasted off into the air, causing the complex to collapse and kill Amaō. All of Galvatron's cells from the girls, their partners, the Legions and the Autoroopers were absorbed back into Galvatron's body, and Atari flung the reconstituted Decepticon leader into space. Before her own powers faded, she looked down upon the Earth, and smiled in happiness. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|You, I, and the Spinning Earth}}

====''Kiss Players Position''====
[[File:15gogo sparkbots appear.jpg|left|215px|thumb|On the Kiss Players' side of the reality barrier, that's probably one heck of a light show.]]

Following the deactivation of the anti-electron field, the Autobots returned to Earth in early 2007, but Transformer-human relations were still in tatters. [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] came up with the idea of a Transformer-human singing group to try and repair relations and spread goodwill between the two races, and to that end, Atari joined with Marissa, Shaoshao, and [[Mini-Cassette|cassette Transformers]] [[Glit (KP)|Glit]], [[Sundor]], and [[Rosanna (KP)|Rosanna]] to form this group, the "[[Kiss Players (singing group)|Kiss Players]]".

[[File:Atari meets optimus primal.jpg|115px|thumb|Oh, that reminds me to ask; Why universe hate Atari?]]

While on their world goodwill tour, the Kiss Players arrived in North America to perform at [[Fortress Maximus (RID)|Brave Maximus]], but just before the concert began, three mysterious glowing orbs appeared before the band and telepathically spoke to them. Introducing themselves as the [[Sparkbot]]s [[Star Dust]], [[Angela]], and [[Zangetsu]], they instructed the three girls to kiss them. When they did so, the girls and Brave Maximus were suddenly whisked off through time, rematerializing at [[Sherman Dam]] in the year 1985, where they witnessed Optimus Prime's historic battle with Megatron atop the structure. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)#Weekly_Kiss_Players_Position_shows|Kiss Players radio drama #39}} The Sparkbots explained to the Kiss Players that the "[[Transformer afterlife|Allspark]]" had been scattered throughout space and time, and that their mission was to recover its fragments by kissing Autobot leaders from different time periods, starting with Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)#Weekly_Kiss_Players_Position_shows|Kiss Players radio drama #40}}

The Kiss Players adventures through the timestream soon led them to the year 2011, where they fell into the clutches of the [[Quintesson]]s. Even the power of {{w|Moe (slang)|moe}}, despite transforming Atari into a hamster-girl in a swimsuit who called the judge "big brother" and asked his permission to use the potty, was not enough to spare them from the Quintesson judge's verdict of "not guilty." Fortunately, Optimus Prime and [[Bumblebee (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Goldbug]] came to their accidental rescue, and the Kiss Players' voyage continued. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)#Tokyo_Toy_Festival_live_performance|Tokyo Toy Festival live performance}}

Following this hair-raising experience, Atari was sent on her first solo mission to recover an AllSpark fragment, alongside Star Dust. Appearing in the vicinity of [[Mars (planet)|Mars]] later in the year 2011, Atari watched as the planet [[Explosion on Mars!! MegaZarak Appears|exploded]], then kissed the Autobot leader of the era, [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]], as he emerged from the conflagration. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)#Weekly_Kiss_Players_Position_shows|Kiss Players radio drama #42}}

Atari delighted in her next mission, when she was taken into the past and found herself surrounded by animals. She never expected that one of the animals was a Transformer: [[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Optimus Primal]]! Atari and Star Dust proceeded to hop through time so the girl could kiss each of Primal's forms, although she was initially hesitant to do so until Star Dust explained that this was not the Optimus ''Prime'' with whom she was familiar. When the task was done, however, he Allspark fragments recovered were suddenly seized by an invisible force and stolen away. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)#Weekly_Kiss_Players_Position_shows|Kiss Players radio drama #45}} These thefts continued as the Kiss Players tried to gather more fragments, forcing the girls to give chase across the timestream, only for Brave Maximus to crash into the "[[Wall of Time]]", scattering the team across the multiverse. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)#Weekly_Kiss_Players_Position_shows|Kiss Players radio drama #47}}

Atari found herself in the parallel reality of the [[Aurex 103.10 Alpha|MD World]], on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s moon at the height of the Transformers' war for the [[Mini-Con]]s. Encountering native Mini-Con [[Blackout (Armada)|Blackout]], Atari found she could understand the little robot's beeping and booping, and she learned that he had become [[Alliance|separated from his partner]]. As the moon trembled beneath Atari's feet, they realized that they were standing on the body of [[Unicron]], but before they could do anything to help Blackout, the invisible force returned to bring Atari back to her home universe. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)#Weekly_Kiss_Players_Position_shows|Kiss Players radio drama #48}} The "force", it transpired, was [[Primus]], god of the Transformers, who had gathered the other Kiss Players. Primus explained that he had been responsible for stealing the Allspark fragments away—because they were actually portions of Unicron's shattered [[Angolmois Energy|lifeforce]], and the Sparkbots were his servants, trying to resurrect him! Thankfully, Primus was able to trap Unicron's lifeforce within the Earth, but he would not answer the Kiss Players' questions about their own future. As his last act before he transformed into a [[Vector Sigma|golden sphere]], Primus returned the Kiss Players to the present day of 2007, mere moments after they had left on their adventure. Realizing that their future was not defined by Primus or any god, Shaoshao and Marissa made vows for the future, while Atari remained unsure of what she would do next, but realized at last the importance of truly living. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)#Weekly_Kiss_Players_Position_shows|Kiss Players radio drama #51}}

Atari was one of the many women brought to the [[Legends World|Legends Universe]] by [[Tigatron]] using the [[10.2 ultra-drill|ultra-drill]] in an attempt to get women who liked him better than [[Springer (G1)|Springer]]. It did not work out, as all of the women brought over eventually swooned over Springer. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 19|Bonus Edition Vol. 19}}

By [[2039]], Atari had become involved in robotics, working alongside [[Chip Chase]] as part of [[Project Gaia]] that also involved the discovery and use of [[Angolmois Energy]]. With the help of technology from the [[Transformer]]s, Atari developed a series of androids, the latest of which was [[Artemis]], and also the lupine [[Moon (BW)|Moon]]. Atari was alarmed when, at their unveiling, Artemis immediately set to bonking Moon with her hammer. Despite the android's frequent bursts of cartoon violence, Atari continued working on the two. {{storylink|Transformers Legends Final Chapter "Epiloge"|Epiloge}}

However, she grew uneasy with the use of Angolmois Energy after some robots had negative reactions to it and relayed her misgivings to [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] when he visited [[Neo Scramble City]]. {{storylink|Volcanicus comic 1}}

*'''Atari X Autorooper''' (2006)

:Like all the ''Kiss Players'' girls, Atari's figures were pre-posed PVC figurines, unlike Marissa and Shaoshao, she got ''two'' figures, and in different sizes. Her first figure, sculpted by series designer [[Yuki Ohshima]], was the unusual one, much larger than a standard ''Kiss Players'' figure and depicting Atari apparently recoiling from something. It came packaged with a tiny transforming Autorooper figure, representing the character after he had been shrunk, and a CD containing episodes 6-10 of the ''Kiss Players'' radio drama, as well as the exclusive audio adventure, "Atari's Close Call?!"

*'''Autorooper X Atari''' (2006)
:''Accessories'': Interchangeable arms

:Atari's second figure was at the standard size for ''Kiss Players'' figurines and came packaged with the larger, 1:24 scale transforming Autorooper figure. She can sit in either the Autorooper's driver's seat or on his shoulder, but not a lot else, although she ''does'' come with a pair of alternate arms clutching a barf bag. She even has (what we hope is) a little bit of barf sculpted on her chin. Released on the week that followed the broadcast of the cliffhanger ending to the first year of the ''Kiss Players'' radio drama, the set included a CD containing episodes 21-30 of the series and the exclusive chapter that concluded the year's storyline, "You, I, and the Spinning Earth".

: A [[redeco]] of the first Atari PVC figurine, "Atari-scream" places Atari in a black uniform with a [[Decepticon]] insignia on her armband instead of the E.D.C.'s logo. Only available as an online-order exclusive from ''[[Dengeki Hobby]]'' magazine, the figure represents Atari while she was possessed by Starscream's ghost.

==Notes==
*According to the [[Yuki Ohshima|series writer]], Atari was originally going to be an elementary school student. However, [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] objected, pointing out that an elementary school student would not be legally eligible for a driver's license.
*Yes, you read that correctly.

Autorooper appeared, barrelling into the Legion and smashing it aside. Before it could finish the creature off, however, the Autorooper dropped to its knees and disgorged E.D.C. member [[Shaoshao Li]], one of the organizations' "Kiss Player" operatives (humans who had been infused with Galvatron's cells and given the power to bond with other organisms containing them), right on top of her.

Life within the E.D.C. progressively proved harder and harder for Atari, as Ringo continued to subject her to repeated acts of whim-driven cruelty, {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #30}} and the mysterious disappearance of Shaoshao weighed heavily on her mind. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #18}} In civilian life, she found a friend in Marissa Faireborn, but this only lasted until the two girls each discovered who the other truly was and sadly accepted that their positions made them enemies. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #13}} Nevertheless, Marissa and Optimus Prime proceeded to save Atari from Legion threats several times, but this only made Atari worry that Marissa must be a better kisser that her, if her robot partner was stronger. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #9}}

Depressed over the fact that she had yet to achieve a second successful fusion with her Autorooper since that first fateful day, Atari was moping around E.D.C. headquarters when her Autorooper surprised her by silently raising its palm and offering her a flower. Angry and miserable, Atari smacked the flower from the robot's hand and ran away. Atari's fellow E.D.C. Kiss Player, [[Kayu Michikusa]], observed the clash and followed Atari out of the base, catching up to her on a hill overlooking the city and presenting her with a flower chain made using the bloom the Autorooper had picked. Having experienced an all-too-rare act of genuine friendship, Atari's spirits began to rise. Sadly, it didn't last long, as she returned to base still wearing the flower chain and immediately caught Ringo's sadistic eye. The deranged girl began eating the flowers and tried to share them with Atari by kissing them into her mouth. Atari was literally saved by the bell as an alarm went off, signalling a Legion attack, and Ringo scampered away to respond.

[[File:Kissplay3 atari stops fight.jpg|225px|thumb|left]]

Her status quo of perpetual misery restored, Atari composed herself and followed, discovering the source of the crisis: Optimus Prime and Marissa were leading an army of Legions down on E.D.C. headquarters! Before the Ne Squad could attack, a further surprise occurred: the Autobot [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] arrived on the scene, now Kiss Player partners with the missing Shaoshao! The E.D.C.'s Kiss Players fused with their Autoroopers, save for Atari, and plunged into the middle of the battle, but were sent flying by a swing of Prime's sword. Fearing for the safety of her friends, Atari made an impassioned plea to her Autorooper to help her save them, and at last, the robot responded to her and transformed to robot mode, kneeling so it could be kissed. Atari did so, and finally, the pair fused together once again and sprang into action, turning back the Autobots and Legions. {{storylink|Kiss Players issue 3|Kiss Players #3}}

Her friendship with Kayu growing, Atari made plans to go on a trip with the girl. But as one relationship improved, another deteriorated, as Ringo's torture sessions grew worse and worse. Atari's pleas to Kayu for help fell on deaf ears, and so Atari spitefully broke off the trip. The next day, however, Atari discovered that Kayu had been transferred to another squad, {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #33}} and she soon learned from her other teammates that Kayu had previously been subject to Ringo's "attentions" before Atari came along. This discussion was cut short by a sudden emergency: Kayu's Autorooper was running amok. Atari believed that she could hear Kayu's voice coming from within the robot, but Ringo sprang into action and mercilessly gunned it down despite Atari's pleas. Overcome with emotion, Atari blacked out...and when she awoke, she could hear Ringo screaming...and her Autorooper's hands were stained with blood. In losing control of herself and her Autorooper, it appeared, Atari had taken revenge for herself and her friend. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #36}}

When Optimus Prime staged another attack on E.D.C. headquarters, once again backed by a phalanx of Legions, Atari fused with her Autorooper to join the fight. When her fusion time expired, she discovered Marissa and Shaoshao in the middle of the battlefield, having just finally set aside the differences that had caused them to fight up until now. Together, the three girls vowed to uncover the mysteries lying at the heart of the E.D.C. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #37}} Venturing into the [[Genital System]] facility beneath the E.D.C. building, the girls and their robot partners discovered the remains of Galvatron, before a door came slamming down, separating Atari from the rest of the group. Commander Amaō appeared before her and explained the full extent of her plans: [[Shizuku Amaō|her daughter]], Atari learned, had died in Galvatron's impact, but Amaō had discovered that her soul had somehow been preserved in the Legions. Experimenting with Legion remains and Kiss Players who had outlived their usefulness, Amaō believed she could recreate her daughter in a Kiss Player body, and had originally selected Shaoshao for the process. Her plans changed when she discovered Atari, whose yet-to-be-realized Kiss Player powers made her an even better candidate for the process, and she had approached Atari's parents in hopes of recruiting the girl into the E.D.C. Atari's parents had refused, and so Amaō had orchestrated their deaths to lead Atari into her clutches. Amaō began her plan, but Atari fought against the fusion process, remembering her friendless childhood and how far she had come. Fusing with her Autorooper, she seized Galvatron's body and blasted off into the air, causing the complex to collapse and kill Amaō. All of Galvatron's cells from the girls, their partners, the Legions and the Autoroopers were absorbed back into Galvatron's body, and Atari flung the reconstituted Decepticon leader into space. Before her own powers faded, she looked down upon the Earth, and smiled in happiness. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|You, I, and the Spinning Earth}}

====''Kiss Players Position''====
[[File:15gogo sparkbots appear.jpg|left|215px|thumb|On the Kiss Players' side of the reality barrier, that's probably one heck of a light show.]]

Following the deactivation of the anti-electron field, the Autobots returned to Earth in early 2007, but Transformer-human relations were still in tatters. [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] came up with the idea of a Transformer-human singing group to try and repair relations and spread goodwill between the two races, and to that end, Atari joined with Marissa, Shaoshao, and [[Mini-Cassette|cassette Transformers]] [[Glit (KP)|Glit]], [[Sundor]], and [[Rosanna (KP)|Rosanna]] to form this group, the "[[Kiss Players (singing group)|Kiss Players]]".

[[File:Atari meets optimus primal.jpg|115px|thumb|Oh, that reminds me to ask; Why universe hate Atari?]]

While on their world goodwill tour, the Kiss Players arrived in North America to perform at [[Fortress Maximus (RID)|Brave Maximus]], but just before the concert began, three mysterious glowing orbs appeared before the band and telepathically spoke to them. Introducing themselves as the [[Sparkbot]]s [[Star Dust]], [[Angela]], and [[Zangetsu]], they instructed the three girls to kiss them. When they did so, the girls and Brave Maximus were suddenly whisked off through time, rematerializing at [[Sherman Dam]] in the year 1985, where they witnessed Optimus Prime's historic battle with Megatron atop the structure. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)#Weekly_Kiss_Players_Position_shows|Kiss Players radio drama #39}} The Sparkbots explained to the Kiss Players that the "[[Transformer afterlife|Allspark]]" had been scattered throughout space and time, and that their mission was to recover its fragments by kissing Autobot leaders from different time periods, starting with Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)#Weekly_Kiss_Players_Position_shows|Kiss Players radio drama #40}}

The Kiss Players adventures through the timestream soon led them to the year 2011, where they fell into the clutches of the [[Quintesson]]s. Even the power of {{w|Moe (slang)|moe}}, despite transforming Atari into a hamster-girl in a swimsuit who called the judge "big brother" and asked his permission to use the potty, was not enough to spare them from the Quintesson judge's verdict of "not guilty." Fortunately, Optimus Prime and [[Bumblebee (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Goldbug]] came to their accidental rescue, and the Kiss Players' voyage continued. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)#Tokyo_Toy_Festival_live_performance|Tokyo Toy Festival live performance}}

Following this hair-raising experience, Atari was sent on her first solo mission to recover an AllSpark fragment, alongside Star Dust. Appearing in the vicinity of [[Mars (planet)|Mars]] later in the year 2011, Atari watched as the planet [[Explosion on Mars!! MegaZarak Appears|exploded]], then kissed the Autobot leader of the era, [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]], as he emerged from the conflagration. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)#Weekly_Kiss_Players_Position_shows|Kiss Players radio drama #42}}

Atari delighted in her next mission, when she was taken into the past and found herself surrounded by animals. She never expected that one of the animals was a Transformer: [[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Optimus Primal]]! Atari and Star Dust proceeded to hop through time so the girl could kiss each of Primal's forms, although she was initially hesitant to do so until Star Dust explained that this was not the Optimus ''Prime'' with whom she was familiar. When the task was done, however, he Allspark fragments recovered were suddenly seized by an invisible force and stolen away. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)#Weekly_Kiss_Players_Position_shows|Kiss Players radio drama #45}} These thefts continued as the Kiss Players tried to gather more fragments, forcing the girls to give chase across the timestream, only for Brave Maximus to crash into the "[[Wall of Time]]", scattering the team across the multiverse. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)#Weekly_Kiss_Players_Position_shows|Kiss Players radio drama #47}}

Atari found herself in the parallel reality of the [[Aurex 103.10 Alpha|MD World]], on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s moon at the height of the Transformers' war for the [[Mini-Con]]s. Encountering native Mini-Con [[Blackout (Armada)|Blackout]], Atari found she could understand the little robot's beeping and booping, and she learned that he had become [[Alliance|separated from his partner]]. As the moon trembled beneath Atari's feet, they realized that they were standing on the body of [[Unicron]], but before they could do anything to help Blackout, the invisible force returned to bring Atari back to her home universe. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)#Weekly_Kiss_Players_Position_shows|Kiss Players radio drama #48}} The "force", it transpired, was [[Primus]], god of the Transformers, who had gathered the other Kiss Players. Primus explained that he had been responsible for stealing the Allspark fragments away—because they were actually portions of Unicron's shattered [[Angolmois Energy|lifeforce]], and the Sparkbots were his servants, trying to resurrect him! Thankfully, Primus was able to trap Unicron's lifeforce within the Earth, but he would not answer the Kiss Players' questions about their own future. As his last act before he transformed into a [[Vector Sigma|golden sphere]], Primus returned the Kiss Players to the present day of 2007, mere moments after they had left on their adventure. Realizing that their future was not defined by Primus or any god, Shaoshao and Marissa made vows for the future, while Atari remained unsure of what she would do next, but realized at last the importance of truly living. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)#Weekly_Kiss_Players_Position_shows|Kiss Players radio drama #51}}

====''Legends'' comic====
[[File:Artemis Moon Atari Legends.jpg|thumb|left]]

Atari was one of the many women brought to the [[Legends World|Legends Universe]] by [[Tigatron]] using the [[10.2 ultra-drill|ultra-drill]] in an attempt to get women who liked him better than [[Springer (G1)|Springer]]. It did not work out, as all of the women brought over eventually swooned over Springer. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. 19|Bonus Edition Vol. 19}}

By [[2039]], Atari had become involved in robotics, working alongside [[Chip Chase]] as part of [[Project Gaia]] that also involved the discovery and use of [[Angolmois Energy]]. With the help of technology from the [[Transformer]]s, Atari developed a series of androids, the latest of which was [[Artemis]], and also the lupine [[Moon (BW)|Moon]]. Atari was alarmed when, at their unveiling, Artemis immediately set to bonking Moon with her hammer. Despite the android's frequent bursts of cartoon violence, Atari continued working on the two. {{storylink|Transformers Legends Final Chapter "Epiloge"|Epiloge}}

====''Generations Selects Special Comic''====

By [[2050]], Professor Hitotonari had helped in the manufacture of the [[Selector]]s, a new breed of Transformer created to serve humanity. However, she grew uneasy with the use of Angolmois Energy after some robots had negative reactions to it and relayed her misgivings to [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] when he visited [[Neo Scramble City]]. {{storylink|Volcanicus comic 1}}

*'''Atari X Autorooper''' (2006)

:Like all the ''Kiss Players'' girls, Atari's figures were pre-posed PVC figurines, unlike Marissa and Shaoshao, she got ''two'' figures, and in different sizes. Her first figure, sculpted by series designer [[Yuki Ohshima]], was the unusual one, much larger than a standard ''Kiss Players'' figure and depicting Atari apparently recoiling from something. It came packaged with a tiny transforming Autorooper figure, representing the character after he had been shrunk, and a CD containing episodes 6-10 of the ''Kiss Players'' radio drama, as well as the exclusive audio adventure, "Atari's Close Call?!"

{{-}}{{anchor|Smallscale}}
[[File:Atari small figure.jpg|thumb|You, I, and the Spinning... spinning... spinning... uuurk!]]
*'''Autorooper X Atari''' (2006)
:''Accessories'': Interchangeable arms

:Atari's second figure was at the standard size for ''Kiss Players'' figurines and came packaged with the larger, 1:24 scale transforming Autorooper figure. She can sit in either the Autorooper's driver's seat or on his shoulder, but not a lot else, although she ''does'' come with a pair of alternate arms clutching a barf bag. She even has (what we hope is) a little bit of barf sculpted on her chin. Released on the week that followed the broadcast of the cliffhanger ending to the first year of the ''Kiss Players'' radio drama, the set included a CD containing episodes 21-30 of the series and the exclusive chapter that concluded the year's storyline, "You, I, and the Spinning Earth".

{{-}}{{anchor|Atariscream}}
[[File:Atariscream pvc.jpg|thumb]]
*'''Atari-scream''' (2007)

: A [[redeco]] of the first Atari PVC figurine, "Atari-scream" places Atari in a black uniform with a [[Decepticon]] insignia on her armband instead of the E.D.C.'s logo. Only available as an online-order exclusive from ''[[Dengeki Hobby]]'' magazine, the figure represents Atari while she was possessed by Starscream's ghost.

==Notes==
*According to the [[Yuki Ohshima|series writer]], Atari was originally going to be an elementary school student. However, [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] objected, pointing out that an elementary school student would not be legally eligible for a driver's license.
*Yes, you read that correctly.

== What did you even do? ==
Yeah, hey. I just happened to see that you somehow "added" something to what I added to [[Thrust_(Movie)#Transformers_.282010.29|Crash Landing Attack Thrust]], or maybe removed something, but when I look, it appears as though nothing changed. Am I blind or what? I mean, I'm asking in the sense of understanding this wiki. Oh, just to make it clear, in case I mispoke somehow, I'm not mad or upset or anything like that that you added or removed something to or from what I typed, I'm just confused on what even got changed, and why. [[User:Beetle Bug|Beetle Bug]] ([[User talk:Beetle Bug|talk]]) 04:41, 11 August 2021 (EDT)

Why'd you undo my update? Was there something wrong with it? If so, what exactly? [[User:Beetle Bug|Beetle Bug]] ([[User talk:Beetle Bug|talk]]) 03:58, 13 August 2021 (EDT)
:By the way, I'm talking about the one on here: https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Child_of_Primus , if there was any confusion. [[User:Beetle Bug|Beetle Bug]] ([[User talk:Beetle Bug|talk]]) 04:00, 13 August 2021 (EDT)
::You linked to Primal's toy page when it was already correctly linking to his fiction section. [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 04:08, 13 August 2021 (EDT)
:::To elaborate, linking to what Primal ''did'' as part of that group in the fiction that group appeared in is infinitely more important than what toy that fiction was advertising. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] ([[User talk:M Sipher|talk]]) 06:03, 13 August 2021 (EDT)
:::: So to make sure I got this right, the toy in question only needed to be linked to the list that's on the page, not this sentence: "Led by the legendary champion of Primus, Optimus Primal, their battles against Unicron's Minions are known as the Universe War.". Am I correct in stating that? [[User:Beetle Bug|Beetle Bug]] ([[User talk:Beetle Bug|talk]]) 06:33, 13 August 2021 (EDT)
:::::No, the list is part of the fiction write up, it has nothing to do with the toys. We do not cross toys with fiction. [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 08:16, 13 August 2021 (EDT)
:::::: Then should I change the toy link update thing that I did on that list? Because I also updated the link that Optimus Primal linked too, as that toy is the same as the one in fiction. That's why I'm a tad bit confused. I mean, if the toy and the version of the Transformer in question are the same, they are generally linked like this. Well, I mean, unless I'm not paying attention to something here. Which is likely given my history. So if I'm being honest, I'm still quite confused on the issue. Well... unless..., which I'm guessing from re-reading this, that in this case the link was supposed to link to the page on the wiki that talks about his actions rather than the toy depicted in the comics. [[User:Beetle Bug|Beetle Bug]] ([[User talk:Beetle Bug|talk]]) 08:42, 13 August 2021
::::::: Which if that's the case, shouldn't it link to https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Optimus_Primal_(BW)/Beast_Wars_cartoon_continuity#3H_comics , rather than what it ''does'' ? Or am I, yet again, not understanding how this wiki works? Because I've seen stuff like this before, and have been witnessing it for a few years, and I'm still unable to tell the difference between "this is how the wiki works" vs. "this is an error that should be fixed". [[User:Beetle Bug|Beetle Bug]] ([[User talk:Beetle Bug|talk]]) 08:48, 13 August 2021 (EDT)
:I already changed it. [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 17:22, 13 August 2021 (EDT)
:: Yeah, honestly I did notice that while I was typing the "should I fix it" thing. I just didn't bother changing that. Oops. Well, anyways, what about that whole "shouldn't it link to https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Optimus_Primal_(BW)/Beast_Wars_cartoon_continuity#3H_comics , rather than what it ''does'' ?" thing? Am I right with that, or no? I'm still kinda confused about that. Like I get the rest of this, just not that part, given there's quite a few Optimus Primals mentioned on that page alone. I think that it'd be a bit confusing for people to click a link, only to be like "Now which one is the one that this refers to?", and also time consuming to have to figure that out. However, I'm not sure if that's how the wiki "works", per-se. [[User:Beetle Bug|Beetle Bug]] ([[User talk:Beetle Bug|talk]]) 18:22, 13 August 2021 (EDT)

'''Blackjack''' leads the rambunctious [[Sports Car Patrol]] not by being the strongest, but by being the cleverest.

A little over four million years ago, Blackjack was one of many new Micromaster Transformers created by the Autobots and Decepticons in a joint venture to bolster their forces. Recruited as a Decepticon, Blackjack still seemed rather easygoing and cordial with the Autobot Micros, at least while hanging out in [[Little Iacon]]. He was planning to race with [[Roadhandler (G1)|Roadhandler]] for championship of the Micros, but had no problem putting their friendly competition on hold so that Road Handler could 'school the load-mouthed [[Big Daddy (G1)|Big Daddy]] on the "rules of the road". He even refereed the race for the two Autobots, although the fracas that followed with the guzzlers probably means he didn't get the chance to race Road Handler himself. {{storylink|The Gray Race}}

Knowing Blackjack's anger issues were strong enough to affect the mind of a [[combiner]], Starscream had him join the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]] in anticipation of the reintroduction of [[Menasor (G1)|Menasor]]. {{storylink|The Sum and Its Parts}} Blackjack was subsequently with the Stunticons as they explained how they operated to another new member, [[Offroad (CW)|Offroad]], and were approached by [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] who had brought the [[Enigma of Combination]]. After using the Enigma to upgrade Menasor (with Blackjack joining as the new chestplate), the Stunticons combined, and accompanied Swindle to the colony world of [[Caminus (planet)|Caminus]], preparing to bring destruction down upon its people. {{storylink|First Contact (IDW)|First Contact}} When it turned out the Camiens had nothing to steal, Swindle realized Starscream had set them up as scapegoats and tried to calm Menasor, but just as Starscream had planned, Blackjack's influence sent the already unstable combiner into an unstoppable rage. Menasor went on a rampage until he was finally brought down by [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] and the Stunticons captured. {{storylink|The Sum and Its Parts}} A short while later, Swindle released the Stunticons, and as Menasor they forced their way back through the spacebridge to Caminus. {{storylink|You, Me, and the Universe}} After a titanic clash of combiners, Menasor wound up captured back on Cybertron, and the Stunticons were re-imprisoned. {{storylink|All That Remains}}

Blackjack and the rest of the Stunticons were created in response to the failure of a Decepticon campaign to acquire Autobot superfuel. Realizing they needed a strong ground force, Blackjack and his kin were created by modifying Earth vehicles with Cybertronian technology, and then bringing them before Vector Sigma to be imbued with the spark of life. The Autobots brought the Aerialbots to life at the same time, and the Decepticons found themselves on the losing side until the Stunticons merged into Menasor. The Decepticons lost nonetheless, though they acquired the key to Vector Sigma as a consolation prize. {{storylink|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1 (Legends)|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1}}

:Blackjack is part of wave two of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Legends Class toys and is a new-mold figure which transforms from a black sports car to robot and back! He and his axe can plug into the chest of [[Menasor (G1)#Combiner Wars|Menasor]], taking the place of the Generation 1 [[roller car]]. Despite the fact his axe strongly resembles a sword guard, it cannot combine with Motormaster's sword. The toy was originally intended to be released as the [[Battlecharger]] [[Runabout (G1)|Runabout]], and is noticeably sculpted to resemble that character.<ref>[[Toy Fair 2015#Notes|TFWiki.net's Toy Fair 2015 report]]</ref> The reasons for the change to Blackjack are unknown, but are likely some combination of [[trademark|name unavailability]] and a desire for a more colorful toy. Blackjack includes a collector card featuring his [[package art]].

:A common problem reported with Blackjack is that despite being purposely made to mount onto Menasor's chest (and by mold association, those of ''Combiner Wars'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#Combiner Wars|Optimus Prime]]), the pegs featured on Motormaster used to hold Blackjack in place are often too small to actually ''keep'' him attached, causing him to fall off with no resistance. Battle Core Prime and a running change version of Hasbro's Motormaster, as well as all Takara usages of the mold, featured slightly retooled posts to fix this connection issue, among other problems.

:The mold was later retooled into ''Combiner Wars'' [[Hot Rod (G1)/toys#Generations|Rodimus]], and redecoed into [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)#Japan|''Adventure'']] [[Runabout (RID)#Toys|Runabout]] and [[Runamuck (RID)#Toys|Runamuck]].

:Part of the third wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' Micromaster two-packs, Blackjack is a retool of [[Swindler#Generations|Swindler]] with a new chest and head, and transforms into a black vaguely-Cybertronian sports car. He can also combine with his pack-in teammate [[Hyperdrive (Micromaster)#Generations|Hyperdrive]] to form a cannon. As a part of the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], their weapon mode can be attached to any toy with a [[5 mm post]]-hole. "Fire Blasts" can also be attached to their barrels. Alternatively he can be turned into a single blaster without the need of his teammate as a [[fan mode]].

:Like Swindler, Blackjack's shoulder joints don't offer much clearance, which heavily hinders both articulation and transformation. A small amount of force is required to shift all the parts into place to properly tab in, as well as to pull the parts apart far enough to move them out of the way for robot mode.

Transformers: Legacy

Innerblobs: /* Deluxe Class */ These are the other Stunticons (Except Motormaster) and Insecticons - we can expect them soon.

{{disambig3|Legacy}}
[[File:TF-Legacy-main-artwork.jpg|thumb|380px|We did it. We put the "s" in ''Generations''.]]
'''''Legacy''''' is a [[subline imprint]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' toyline, and the successor to the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]''.

First revealed in late-[[2021]] at [[Hasbro PulseCon 2021]], ''Legacy'' is a [[2022]] toyline for the approaching 40th anniversary of the [[Transformers brand|''Transformers'' brand]], featuring characters from across multiple series. The toys are largely in the scale and style of those from the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'', including the numerous [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]] from the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]. Each of the non-"[[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]]" characters are updated with a ''Generations'' aesthetic to fit with the rest of the toyline. ''Legacy'' characters can "harness the power of [[Energon]]" as each toy includes an "[[Energon weapon#Legacy|Energon-infused weapon]]"<ref name="Facebook">Pre-reveal of ''Legacy'' on the ''Transformers'' [https://www.facebook.com/transformers/posts/6219021398168002 Facebook]: "Celebrating an almost 40-year legacy of Transformers, universes collide as fan-favorite characters are brought together from across the multiverse, updated with Generations styling. You can harness the power of Energon, with all-new Energon-infused weapon accessories that come with figures across the line."</ref>: a translucent plastic accessory that the figure could wield in multiple ways and combine with others, not too dissimilar to ''[[Transformers: Energon (toyline)|Energon]]''.

The storytelling of ''Legacy'' follows characters brought together from across the multiverse as their universes collide.<ref name="Facebook"/> As such, non-"Generation 1" characters are given prefixes associated with their series of origin, such as "[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)|Prime Universe]]". Replacing the package [[bio]]s of old is a QR code on the back of each box, which leads to the character's bio on the ''Transformers'' website.

==Notes==
*Prior to the toyline's reveal in October 2021, much of the toyline's roster was found through internal online listings from retailers such as [[Target]].
*Some toy listings feature "Evolution" as part of the toyline's name.<ref>[https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/181712 BigBadToyStore] listing: "Transformers Generations Legacy Evolution Voyager Wave 1 Set of 2 Figures"</ref>
*Much like 2022's ''[[Studio Series]]'' lineup, Leader Class toys feature window-less packaging, which allows for expanded [[package art|artwork]]. The others largely utilize the same minimized window and plastic tray-less boxes from the previous line, ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'', though with many hard-to-stack (but cool!) angles for the sides.
