Project-TC

Project-TC, or Project Transcode, is an ongoing Satella Police operation which uses the new Hunter-VG terminal to register and maintain a list of humans and Wizards who can perform an EM Wave Change, as well as the identity of the Wave Change itself. The primary goal of the research and testing in Project-TC is to perfect the processes of synthetic Wave Change and give Wizards' operators control of it while minimizing the risks associated.

The secondary goal of the project is to develop a system that will allow operators to control Noise. Most of the testing is currently done through the Satella Police's own A.C. Eos and his Wizard, Acid, as well as their Wave Change, Acid Ace.

Once a person in possession of a Hunter-VG performs an EM Wave Change, they are connected to the Satella Police Network, where they are registered and assigned a Transcode. The Satella Police keeps a tight registry of those who are allowed to legally perform Wave Changes.

Trivia

 * There are neither identities nor information given concerning Transcode numbers 006 through 010 and 012 through 019, as well as any other possible members. Although original art work suggested Gemini Spark was to be number 010, but was scrapped.
 * From what can be seen, Transcodes are assigned the moment the person Wave Changes for the first time while in possession of a Hunter-VG (A.C. Eos obviously being first and revealing that Solo Wave Changed before Geo), so there are then five people who have Wave Changed before Wolf Woods, and an additional eight before Cygnus Wing.
 * Throughout most of the third game, during cutscenes, characters only use either the EM Wave Change phrase or both the EM Wave Change phrase and the Transcode phrase, with only a few moments having them use the Transcode phrase alone.
 * In the English version of the game, Geo simply says "Transcode, Mega Man!", but in the Japanese version of the game he says "Transcode, Shooting Star Rockman!".
 * This is because "Starforce" is only an unofficial disambiguation name, and Geo's EM Wave Changed form shares his exact name with the original Mega Man, with no disambiguation suffix. Thus, the Wave Change announcement is a direct translation.
 * The Japanese-only "Battle Black Box" sourcebook describes Joker as Transcode: 000.
 * The name "Transcode" can be interepreted as "Transformation Code", as well as the act of Transcoding.
 * There are clear jumps between Taurus Fire's, Wolf Woods' and Cygnus Wing's Transcode numbers.
 * This is not completely impossible, due to Moon Destroyer having an implied human counterpart, along with the possibilities of Gemini Spark, Terra Condor, Yeti Blizzard, Crown Thunder, Kung-Foo Kid, Plesio Surf, Libra Scales, Cancer Bubble which adds up to ten possible numbers. Considering the reappearance of Taurus Fire, these could be included in the missing Transcode numbers.
