Transer



The Transer (トランサー) is a personal terminal device that appears in Mega Man Star Force as the replacement for the PET from the Mega Man Battle Network series. Most people wear their Transers on their arms.

The Transer is succeeded by the Star Carrier and Hunter-VG in the second and third games, respectively.

General Functions
Transers carry many of the functions that their predecessors did, such as sending emails, acting as a cellular phone, and aiding in the deletion of viruses. Unlike PETs, however, Transers directly attack EM Viruses through the use of Battle Cards.

Brother Bands
One of the most important functions of the Transer is the Brother Band feature, which allows people to become Brothers and granting them an increase in Link Power.

EM Wave Change
Transers also aid in the process of EM Wave Change. Though they do not function much, if at all, while wave changed, a Transer or similar device is necessary to initiate a wave change in most cases.

During an EM Wave Change, Transers prohibit the use of Battle Cards almost completely because they do not carry over as part of the EM Being formed. This normally restricts EM Beings to their natural abilities, however Mega Man is able to continue to fight with Battle Cards through the use of Omega-Xis' Predation ability.

Toys
Transers toys were released by Takara Tomy in Japan.

Trivia

 * Transers are very similar in shape to a Nintendo DS, which is the system that all Mega Man Star Force series' games are available for.
