Metal Cardbot

Ghostrain - Extended Description
A Star Guardian who fought in the war against the Wild Cardbots before the Machine's destruction. Appears in flashbacks in Season W.

Appearance: A massive black Cardbot with a locomotive-inspired aesthetic. Head with a revolver trigger motif and silver rail extensions on the sides. Green eyes without pupils. White visor with black bars. Torso - the nose of a locomotive as chest armor. Massive shoulders and forearms. White hands. Front thigh armor - a cowcatcher. Transport - a steam locomotive with a tender and two additional cars. Design - a reworking of Blastrain.

Mini Gallons
Three miniature drones created by Buster Gallon. About the size of the Metal Bracelet.

Appearance: Miniature bulldozers in three colors: green, blue, and yellow-green. Their arms transform into tools—scissors, drills. They can't speak—they communicate with a "robotic chirp."

History: They were first used to break into Jun's house and steal the Metal Bracelet. Three of them were accidentally crushed by Buffalo Crash's wheels, causing Buster Gallon to cry bitterly over the wreckage (a moment that was humorously portrayed in the series). They were later replaced: one with a propeller became a spy drone camera, while the others helped Buster set up chess pieces against Jun after the sealing.

Deus Machina
The mother computer of the planet Mahina, creator of Cardbots and Metal Bracelets. Not a Cardbot in the classic sense—more of a divine AI entity.

Appearance: Unknown. Never physically appeared in the series, only mentioned.

Personality and Role: The Metal Cardbots consider her a benevolent ruler. In reality, she is a conqueror of worlds, leading the Star Guardians to seize other planets. She created the Metal Bracelet as a catalyst for this conquest. She created three Bracelets: two for the Metal Cardbots (one given to Blue Cop, one to Gigantrex), and a third for the Wild Cardbots, given to Chief Fion, who passed it on to Blayon.

Deus Machina knew of Flame Nova's rebellion and stopped it—stripping him of his Star Guardian title, splitting him into four components, and blocking his transformation ability. Blue Cop's final order before the Machina's destruction: "Use the Metal Bracelet to find your friend"—an order Blue Cop follows even after her death.

Tachyon (Tachyon) ♀ — died
Chieftain of the Rapid tribe, mother figure to Tachi. Wild Cardbot. Appears in flashbacks.

Appearance: Larger than Tachi. The basic design is identical, but the blue accents are replaced with green. The teardrop-shaped makeup under the eyes glows green. The crest on the head is sharp and ridge-like. The visor is toothless (Tachi has teeth). The white sections on the torso are repainted black. The legs and feet are adorned with additional blades that glow green. The eyes are green with orange pupils. Two cracks appear on the body: on the left collarbone and on the left side of the head.
Personality: Tired of the war with the Metal Cardbots, Tachion contemplated sacrificing herself to resurrect Tyrant Zero and force the Metal Cardbots to leave the planet. She was stopped by Saber Knight (the future Savannard), who killed three of her Wild Cardbot accomplices—but their spirits possessed him, turning him into a berserker. Tachion battled the possessed Savannard in Tyrant Zero's temple. Noticing Tachi, she ordered her to flee—and was killed before the girl's eyes. This event became the trauma that defined Tachi's entire history.

Weapons: Cheetah Knuckles (claw-gloves, like Tachi's) and Weapon Card - Sonicrunner (leg boosters).

Fion ♀ → died
The leader of the Soleon tribe, and Blayon's mentor and father figure. Wild Cardbot.

Appearance: Larger than Blayon. The basic design is identical, but with differences: the white sections are recolored gray, the black belt elements are red, the arms lack Ladder Shots, the chest and shoulders are adorned with additional fire armor, and there are fold-out shoulder plates. The fire symbol on the head is gold (Bleyon's is normal). The head is framed by a lion's face, identical to the one on Blayon's Weapon Card. Claw-like scars are present on the chest and head.

Personality: Leader and protector – passed on the Sun Sign and orange Metal Bracelet to Blayon during the final days of the Machine's destruction, after which he sacrificed himself for the future of the Wild Cardbots. His voice is deeper than Blayon's (same voice actor).

Ignyx
Species: A legendary Phoenix Cardbot, not a Metal Cardbot or Wild Cardbot in the true sense of the word. Nickname: "The Legendary Flame That Calms Calamity." Appears in the season finale of "W" (Episode 26).

Appearance: A mechanical phoenix—red plumage with golden metallic feathers on the wings and tail, yellow eyes, green gems on the body, and golden armor on the head and torso. It has no vehicle mode—it's the only Cardbot that always remains in its beast form. It transforms into weapons: the upper body is the Ignyx Sword, the lower body is the Ignyx Shield.

Personality: Ignix isn't exactly a person in the traditional sense. He's an ancient entity that responds to the power of united hearts. He was awakened when Jun, Soleil, Blue Cop W, and Blayon simultaneously reaffirmed their faith and courage in each other. His quote: "I am the spark of life and the cycle. Your faith and courage in each other were the key that summoned me." However, his name is never spoken aloud in the story—he appears only as a phantom beast and in the form of a weapon.

Shadow X
Appearance: A purple Cardbot with a ninja design, black details, and yellow eyes. Vehicle type: VTOL. Weapons: blades and shurikens.

Personality: Professional, always protects those he respects. Reserved, but deadly in combat. The second ninja-themed Cardbot after Phantom Hornet.

Appearance: A massive, turquoise-green Cardbot designed like an American football player—a football helmet, massive shoulders. Vehicle: a dump truck/trailer. Weapon: a shield.

Personality: Sweet and cheerful, he loves dancing and soul music. He dislikes complications and prefers simple solutions. He serves as the team's muscle until Heavy Iron arrives.

Blue Cop
The main Cardbot protagonist, second only to June. A member of the Star Guardians, the planet Mahina's elite security force. The only Cardbot to appear in all three seasons and receive an upgrade in each.

Appearance: A blue robot in police guise, with blue LED eyes, a purple visor, a removable cap with the Star Guardians emblem, and a white and blue body with gold plates.

In Season W: infected with the Beast Virus, he gains a wolf motif (fangs on the helmet, clawed fingers), a Chevrolet Corvette, and the Howl Gauntlet weapon with a wolf head.

Personality: Feigns coldness and stoicism, but is actually caring and vulnerable. Strives for peaceful coexistence between humans and Cardbots. Sometimes acts impulsively, especially when his ideals are offended. The director's favorite Cardbot is "to torment."

Jim Hopkins
A photojournalist for Mowtown Times who appeared in season two.

Personality: A talented and persistent photographer who captures Cardbots time and again, but his footage is constantly lost or destroyed while the Cardbots conceal their existence. He's driven by both his boss's fear and a genuine journalistic passion. Starting with episode 21 of the S-Season, he actively assists Jun's team, goes on expeditions with them, and even earns recognition from Musclehyde for his "journalistic spirit." In the third season, he interacts with the Cardbots as allies.

Warren Williams
The editor-in-chief of the Mowtown Times newspaper, introduced in season two. Vera's father.

Appearance: beige-gray hair, blue eyes, fair skin.

Personality: Obsessed with newspaper sales and sensational articles. Pushy, he yells at his subordinates. Due to his egoism and snobbery, he nearly provoked a conflict between the Cardbots and the humans through press publications. But he's not without a bright side: he adores his daughter and literally showers her with love—in his office, there are photographs of Vera from her childhood.

Johan (Johan Grant)
Jun's father, ~40 years old. Co-owner of Milky Way.

Appearance: light brown hair, calm eyes.

Personality: Relaxed, easygoing, a good cook—he often cooks at home, not just in restaurants. He's as submissive to his wife as June. A wise father: he advises his son to share his worries. Ironically, he and Yuri had long suspected the Cardbots, but thought June was hiding something worse—a bad grade in math.

Yuri (Yuri Grant)
June's mother, 40 years old. She and her husband manage the Milky Way restaurant.

Appearance: Light brown hair with blue roots showing through (a hint that Jun inherited her blue hair color), golden-brown eyes.

Personality: Strict but loving. A strong character—even Cardbots recognize her authority and obey her. She appealed to Buffalo Crush's conscience, scolding him for his manners, and then feeding him. She becomes Peruru's temporary guardian and literally evicts Jun from his room so Peruru has somewhere to sleep. She loves her son dearly, but scolds him for his grades and antics. She wanted a daughter, and partly compensates for this by being protective of Peruru.

Soleil
Introduced in season three (Metal Cardbot W). Formally listed as human, but in reality, an android created by Leia Cayenne in Crest's image. Formally, he's Crest's "twin."

Appearance: pale skin, yellow eyes, turquoise hair in a bob. Gray leggings, a light gray dress, black knee-high boots, and an orange-yellow vest. Original appearance: a white, legless droid with arms, blue optics, and a rocket-shaped head. Wields his own Metal Bracelet with a hexagonal design, orange and turquoise.

Personality: Unlike the energetic Jun and Peruru, Soleil is quiet, reserved, and stern. She can make small talk, but doesn't seek friendship—she's entirely missionary-minded. Even Krest, with his calculating demeanor, seems more flexible. She was the first owner of the Metal Bracelet, using it to forcefully subjugate Cardbot—something neither Jun, Peruru, nor Mukara did, considering it ethically unacceptable. She blindly follows the orders of her creator, but gradually begins to question her own nature and learn to understand relationships.

Garrison
Leia's robot butler, Cayenne, introduced in Season W. Not a Cardbot - a regular robot servant.

Appearance: Similar to Sebastian (the butler of the Krest family), but blue in color. Yellow eyes.

Personality: Assists Leia on Cardbot-related missions. He's a Sebastian-like figure for Crest's family, but on his mother's side. Voiced by the same actor who voices Crest (Kim Myung-jun).

Introduced in Season 2 (Metal Cardbot S), 12-13 years old. Direct descendant of Mukara, the man who encountered the Cardbots 4,000 years ago.

Appearance: Red hair, braided into two braids (put into a bun at night). Red eyes with distinctive, sharp red makeup—the traditional style of her village. Her main outfit is a short tracksuit, a scarf with a traditional pattern on the waist, compression sleeves, and sandals. When traveling, she wears a burgundy poncho, a baseball cap, and a mask, and her machinazium spear is sheathed on a leather belt. After moving to Motown, she wears Jun's clothes: a varsity jacket, black jeans, and T-shirts.

Personality: Unflappable, serious, and a strict rule-follower. She values ​​her family legacy and the mission of protecting the ruins of Porkak greatly. She can be blunt and prickly, but not out of malice—she's simply used to it. Over time, she warms up and becomes a loyal friend. She's intelligent and well-read (especially compared to Jun), though she may be smaller in stature. At the same time, she's incredibly athletic and combative: armed with a spear tipped with a machinazium blade and capable of stunning a Cardbot in combat, she's the undisputed number one fighter among humans. Having received the Metal Bracelet of Mukara, she passed it on to Jun as a more worthy companion, and trusts him implicitly.

Theo

Appearance: Average height, fair skin, shaggy red hair, blue eyes, glasses.

Personality: Quiet, withdrawn, bookish—the complete opposite of Jun. He's very smart and has a keen understanding of science, which often helps the team. Before meeting Jun, he was a loner; Jun was the first to extend a hand of friendship. He's sometimes mischievous: he teases Jun and can delete his decisions on his tablet. His idol is Leia Cayenne, a robotics scientist.

Transfer student, 14-15 years old. Partner of Wild Guardy.

Appearance: vibrant turquoise hair, amber-gold eyes, fair skin. He's the tallest of the child characters. In the first season, he wears a gray coat, black collar, and gold tie (looks odd for a schoolboy); in the second and third seasons, he wears a perfectly tailored suit.
Personality: When he first appeared, he was a classic "new kid": mysterious, suspicious, and possessed of a wealth of talents (he memorized the names of every student on the list and was adept at catching balls flying from behind). He approached June with an ulterior motive—to learn more about the Cardbots. After Wild Guardy became an ally, Crest opened up completely and proved surprisingly kind and thoughtful for his age. Cold and calculating, yet loyal. He's a master of technology—he repaired Wild Guardy himself and, in season three, develops a vaccine for the Beast Virus. He can be cunning: he uses Vera's crush on him to keep her away from the Cardbots. He's wealthy: his father is the CEO of an auto company, and his mother is Leia Cayenne, a doctor of robotics.
