The Transformers: Super Spychanger Lottery (トランスフォーマー スーパースパイチェンジャーくじ Toransufōmā Sūpā Supaichenjā Kuji) was a small line of Transformers released by Takara in 2003. It consisted entirely of redecos of the original six Spychangers, and was set fictionally as a follow-up to the Car Robots cartoon.
Story
With God Magnus having departed Earth aboard Brave Maximus, the Cybertrons were unable to call upon his power when a new menace suddenly arose to challenge them in 2002. A plan was put into motion to upgrade the Spychangers with Spark Engines, granting them Super Modes.
Ask Vector Prime
The Spychangers were the only Cybertrons left on Earth when Chainsaw led the Mutants there. With the Spychangers utterly outclassed, the Spark Engines were developed thanks to Professor Haruma Gō's new substance, Go-Brillium. They notched up many solo victories but had to relearn the importance of teamwork to finally win: under Super Art Fire's newly improved leadership, they mastered the partial invisibility upgrade Super X-Car had been tinkering with and used it to defeat the Mutants.
With the go-brillium used up, they were regular Spychangers again. Ask Vector Prime
Toys
Released in a single assortment, the Super Spychanger Lottery toys came in small, "blindpacked" boxes sold in cases of 12 (each case included two copies of each figure). The team was redecoed from the Car Robots figures, often to make them look "inverted" from the originals.
Super Spychanger Lottery (2003)
- Super Ninja Leader Super Art Fire
- True Sniper Ninja Super Counter Arrow
- Great Flyer Ninja Super Eagle Killer
- Extreme Charger Ninja Super Ox
- Mighty Destroyer Ninja Super Wars
- Heavy Gravity Ninja Super X-Car
In every case of 12, two figures were available in a rare "chase" coloration, dubbed "Evolution Process Types" (エボリューションプロセス仕様, Eboryūshon Purosesu Shiyō), explicitly based on Speedbreaker's mid-form coloration from "The Mystery of Brave Maximus".
