Kiss Players
- Voice actor: Satomi Akesaka (Japanese)
In the year 2007, following the destruction of Unicron and the end of the Legion threat, Star Dust, Angela, and Zangetsu suddenly appeared in the sky above the "Kiss Players" singing group at the Brave Maximus Fortress concert of their world tour or Earth. The Sparkbots introduced themselves to the performers telepathically and insisted that the three humans in the group kiss them.
When Atari Hitotonari, Shaoshao Li, and Marissa Faireborn complied, they and Brave Maximus were engulfed by a bright light and taken on a journey through time and space. At each destination, one of the girls encountered and kissed (while remaining unseen, unfelt and undetected) a famous Autobot or Maximal leader of the past, causing a fragment of the AllSpark to emerge from the Transformer's body for the Sparkbots to collect. Star Dust and Atari traveled to ancient Earth, witnessing a battle between Optimus Primal and Waspinator before taking a fragment from Primal.
After a particularly narrow escape on the planet Quintessa, the girls decided to decorate their "partner" Sparkbots; Atari created a pattern on her computer for Star Dust based on the green robot's energy wings.
Following a brief shunt into an Aurex universe, where Star Dust and Atari helped reunite the lost Mini-Con Blackout with his larger Decepticon partner Demolishor, the Kiss Players came face to face with the Transformer god, Primus... and the Sparkbots' true allegiance to Unicron was revealed. Having tricked the girls into assembling the chaos god's Angolmois Energy rather than the "Allspark", the Sparkbots fled back in time to Earth's prehistoric past and resurrected their master.
Defeated by Primus' might, Unicron was again reduced to Angolmois Energy and, together with Star Dust and the other Sparkbots, locked away within the planet with Brave Maximus assigned to watch over them for eternity. Or at least until 2007. Kiss Players
Toys
Kiss Players
- Kiss Players Sparkbot x3 (Multi-pack, 2007)
- Known designers: Masaki Maruyama (original tooling)
- Available only in the Sparkbot three-pack with his teammates Angela and Zangetsu, Star Dust is a green redeco and retooling of the Eggbot/Dark Eggbot mold, transforming from a sphere into a humanoid robot. He has a keychain attached to his back.
- This mold is a keychain-loop-adding retooling of the 1988 Takara Mashin Hero Wataru "Jakira" toy, which is itself a new-torso-and-head retooling of the pre-Transformers Takara Micro Change "Metal Man MC-14" toy. Whew! The original Micro Change version of the mold included a base and two guns that could be mounted in either configuration, which were excluded for all subsequent Mashin Hero Wataru and Transformers releases.
- The Sparkbots set was only available at the Tokyo Toy Festival 2007 on March 18th, and is the final release in the Kiss Players toy line. The set also came with a new CD.
- This mold was also proposed for a Generations Vector Sigma accessory, but that was not produced. It also served as the model for a comic background character.
Notes
- Star Dust's name, color scheme and decoration were created by Satomi Akesaka, who also portrays his voice in the Kiss Players radio drama series. Sundor was created by her as well.
