The Transformers: Super Spy Changer 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 Supai Chenjā Kuji) was a small line of Transformers released by Takara in 2003. It consisted entirely of redecos of the original six Spy Changers, and was set fictionally as a follow-up to the Car Robots cartoon.

Story

Template:Askvectorprime

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. The Spy Changers were the only Cybertrons left on Earth when Chainsaw led the Mutants there. Utterly outclassed, a plan was put into motion to upgrade the Spy Changers with Spark Engines, granting them Super Modes[1][2] 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 Artfire'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're now regular Spy Changers again.

The nature of the new threat was not even remotely clarified by the Super Spy Changer catalog. Not even the 2006 retcon-heavy Japanese timeline, which finally explicitly tied Car Robots into the main Generation 1 continuity, gave any kind of information as to what the threat was. It was not until 2015 that the Facebook version of Ask Vector Prime finally fleshed out the details of the Super Spy Changers.

Toys

Released in a single assortment, the Super Spy Changer 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 Spy Changer Lottery (2003)

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".
