- The Interplanetary Personnel Exchange Program is an Autobot/human endeavour from the Generation 1 continuity family.
The Interplanetary Personnel Exchange Program was a joint effort between the Autobots and humanity to promote cooperation between the two races on Earth. Initiated at some point in the early 21st Century, 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.

Background
Autobot police officer Clamp Down came to Earth as part of the Interplanetary Personnel Exchange Program, and worked with local law enforcement representatives to fight human crime on the planet. Clamp Down's bio Clamp Down's excellent performance generated a lot of positive response to the program, and so in 2005, it was expanded to incorporate several Transformers who had been outfitted with Earth-made Binaltech bodies. 2007 Takara timeline
Asterisk Story
Despite the point of the Interplanetary Personnel Exchange Program being to publicly promote cooperation between Autobots and Humans, 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. The Cat and the Medal
While going for a luxurious drive with his partner, Junko Shiragami, Sunstreaker was egged into a race with a passing sportscar. He lost the race after taking too sharp a turn, demolishing a road sign, and was forced to stop at Junko's insistance. I'll Show You Some Great Scenery
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 Broadblast transformed and sprang into action, catching the fixture. The World's First Disaster Relief Car!?
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.
