The Interplanetary Personnel Exchange Program is an Autobot/human alliance created to promote cooperation between the two races on Earth.
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. Incidentally, their purpose is not to join forces and battle Decepticons, but to solve various daily human dilemmas, no matter how mundane they might be.

Notes
- 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 2007 timeline published during the Kiss Players series.
