The Transformers: Super Spychanger Lottery

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

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 order to combat this threat, a plan was put into motion to upgrade the Spy Changers with Spark Engines, granting them Super Modes.

The nature of the new threat is not even remotely clarified. 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 could be more Destrongers, it could be an army of Maoist red pandas. We don't know.

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.
