City center (downtown)

This is the most glamorous part of Motown - all skyscrapers and neon signs.

The Mowtown Times headquarters. One of the most recognizable skyscrapers: its "old print shop"-style façade, and above the entrance, a giant logo in the form of a quill and ink pen, the letters in Old English script. Inside, there are echoing newsrooms, glass partitions, shelves filled with bound volumes, and on the top floor, the editor-in-chief's office overlooking the harbor.

City Hall. Another opulent skyscraper with an ornate façade and dome. The lobby features marble floors and bronze plaques with the names of past mayors. The basement contains a fortified room: it was designed as a shelter in case of falling space debris—an important plot detail.

The streets of the center. Wide avenues where taxis and buses travel, and between them are narrow alleys where Cardbots often hide. On the ground floors are coffee shops, newsstands, comic book stores, and display cases with model cars.

Port area and waterways

Motown is a coastal town, and the water here is not just a backdrop, but a full-fledged part of city life.

Mowtown Container Terminal. Rows of colorful containers, tall gantry cranes, and tracks for tractors. It's quiet at night, making it the perfect spot for secret Cardbot meetings.

Dockside Warehouse. Old brick buildings by the water. One of the abandoned warehouses was the Black Hook gang's hideout; it was later blown up, but the ruins remain as a grim landmark.

Canals and piers. The design of these waterways is reminiscent of Los Angeles: concrete banks, metal ladders, and mooring bollards. Car chases are often filmed here: boats, speedboats, and even transforming cars race along the water, splashing up the water.

Residential area and everyday life

Here the city becomes “humane” and cozy.

The Juneau neighborhood. Typical town houses, front gardens, mailboxes, clotheslines, and bicycles parked outside. On the corner is a soda and snack store where local kids grab a snack after school.

Mowtown Elementary School. A simple building with a wide staircase and a playground. The walls are covered with children's drawings and road safety posters. This is where June and his friends discuss their plans.

Milky Way Restaurant. A cozy family-run café owned by June's parents. Inside, wooden tables, a chalkboard menu, and the smell of fried potatoes and coffee fill the air. Across the street is a small park where teenagers gather in the evenings.

Industrial and "dark" corners

These places add contrast to the city and serve as a backdrop for tense scenes.

Landfill #30. A vast area with mountains of old tires, rusty car bodies, and piles of scrap metal. Here, Cardbots can hide and recharge among the metal debris. The smell of burning and machine oil hangs in the air, and security lights shine at night.

Edo Motors Auto Repair Shop. This is both mechanic Ed's business and the Cardbots' main refuge. Inside, there are lifts, racks of parts, workbenches, and the smell of motor oil.

Mowtown Station. A spacious waiting room with a board, benches, and a newspaper kiosk. The tracks lead into tunnels and overpasses. The electric rails here sometimes cause problems for some Cardbots.

Neighborhoods and distant points

The city does not end at the borders of the map - it has "distant boundaries".

An abandoned oil rig (Mowtown Drilling Rig). Located 90 kilometers off the coast, it's a rusty structure on stilts that the Cardbots have converted into their secret hideout. They've built additional platforms, welded together metal walkways, and set up a "command center" in the former engine room. The view from the rig is of the endless sea and a thin horizon.

Highways and desert areas (Mowtown Highway). Long overpasses leading into semi-desert lands. Some sections are closed for repairs and are almost completely deserted—perfect locations for high-speed transformations and chases.

Planet Machina is the former homeworld of the Metal Cardbots and Wild Cardbots, which they called Moa Land. Despite its mechanical civilization, Machina is essentially a terrestrial planet and shares several characteristics with Earth.

The main features of the planet Machine:

Geographical conditions: The planet has oceans and likely continents similar in shape to Earth's. However, due to the lack of a magnetic field, surface conditions would be extremely inhospitable for humans.

Machinasium Metal: The primary metal found only on the Machine is machinasium. This metal was used in the cores of the metal mapbots.

History: An advanced mechanical civilization flourished under the rule of the mother computer Deus Machina until a catastrophe occurred—a massive explosion that destroyed the planet thousands of years ago. This led to the scattering of the Cardbots across the universe.

Star Crown: A vital treasure of the planet, capable of transforming the planet itself into something resembling a Machine. Within the dome created by this treasure (known as the "Machinacium Seed"), the internal structure resembles that of the planet Machine itself. However, over time, most of the Machinacium was converted to ordinary stone after the Star Crown's destruction.

Environmental conditions: The planet has no magnetic field, making its surface inhospitable to human life. Radiation from space would be able to reach the surface unimpeded, leading to the disappearance of the planet's heat and magnetic field.

The Wild Cardbots are a second race of intelligent Transformer robots from the planet Machina, alongside the regular Metal Cardbots. They appear in the third season (Metal Cardbot W).

Their story began long before the events of the series. Originally, the Wild Card Bots were ordinary organic fauna—animals living on a natural planet. Then, a being named Deus Machina sent a device to this planet that terraformed it—transforming all organic matter into pure metal. As a result of this transformation, the wild animals became mechanical creatures similar to the Metal Card Bots, but retained their animal instincts and traits. When the planet Machina was destroyed, the Wild Card Bots, like ordinary Card Bots, were scattered throughout the universe. Some of them ended up on Earth.

They differ from regular card bots in the following ways:

Animal design - in both vehicle and robot modes, they retain animal-like features. They have hexagonal eyes, black clawed hands, and animal-themed weapons.

The Beast Virus is the most dangerous feature. Wild Card Bots are born carrying a special virus that causes extreme aggression in those infected. This is why contact with them is considered extremely dangerous, and Blue Cop is exposed to it in one episode.

Tribal society - unlike the Metal Card Bots, the Scavs live in tribes: for example, the Blayon Tribe, the Multihorned Tribe, and the Swift Tribe. Their society is more primitive.

A metal bracelet is not just a piece of jewelry, but a high-tech artifact with a distinct “combat” design that immediately makes it clear: this thing is alien and powerful.

The bracelet is massive yet ergonomic: it fits snugly around the left wrist without restricting movement. It's shaped like a wide, half-ring bracer with a small gap—not a closed circle, but rather like two sturdy plates connected by a complex bridge. The edges aren't sharp, but slightly rounded to avoid snagging on clothing or irritating the skin. The width is approximately 6–7 cm, and the case is about 3–4 cm thick: impressive without being bulky. The case looks like a gunmetal-colored metal alloy with dark blue and bright red accents. The metal isn't smooth, but has a distinct "technical" texture: fine notches, thin reinforcing ribs, and subtle polishing that creates a play of light. The accents are translucent, as if made of tempered glass or crystalline polymer; they glow faintly from within when the bracelet is activated.

Details and elements:

Central panel. In the center of the front panel is an oval transparent capsule, inside which a rotating module (the very same slot for metal cards) is visible. Along the edges of the capsule are thin glowing rims: blue and red, which pulse in time with the device's operation.

Slots and guides. On the sides of the central panel are narrow grooves where cards are inserted; they look like slots with magnetic latches. On the inside of the band are thin contact pads for synchronization with the card bots.

Decorative fasteners. Stylized "bolts" and rivets are located around the perimeter—not just decorative, but part of the design, emphasizing the durability. They are discreetly placed to avoid scratching the leather, but are noticeable upon close inspection.

The clasp. A hidden mechanism on the back: there's no traditional buckle, but instead a magnetic clasp with an additional lock. It's barely visible from the outside, revealing only a neat seam.

Appearance: A yellow card robot with a cheetah motif, specifically a helmet, black spots and a cheetah tail, light blue hexagonal eyes with a unique rim and a yellow rim around each pupil, black hands with claw-like fingers and yellow slashes at the back, the appearance of a track runner, white stripes on his arms, torso and upper legs, orange sections on his limbs and torso, a rear end consisting of a car-shaped hood, and a zig-zag arrow symbol on each side of his head.

Alt Form: Her vehicle is a sports car with a cheetah face on the roof.

Personality: Tachi lives by the laws of speed and movement, where every split second counts, and stopping is almost tantamount to defeat. Her animal essence is the cheetah, the fastest predator, a symbol of lightning-fast reactions and perfect precision in movement. This is evident in her fighting style: she uses swift attacks, sharp maneuvers, and literally "breaks" the distance between herself and the enemy, leaving no time for a counterattack. She uses a dialect and includes cat sounds in her speech. She is cheerful, very energetic, restless, and playful. She knows how to find common ground and has a competitive spirit, adores holidays, and can turn anything serious into complete absurd fun. She is empathetic and a great cheerleader, but she is very quick and cannot sit still, which shows her cheetah nature. She hates boredom; if she realizes that she will be forbidden from having fun, running, or anything similar, she will become very offended and angry. She also likes to draw an incomprehensible sign on walls, cars, or the sidewalk, referring to it as her name. Wild Card Bot

Cheetah Knuckles (Chita-Neokeul): Tachi has a pair of gloves shaped like cheetah claws, crafted from the front of her vehicle and its wheels. They were originally stored on the rear deck.

Weapon Card - Sonicrunner (웨폰카드 - 소닉 러너, Wepon Kadeu - Sonikreoneo): A pair of armored cheetah-themed leg extensions. When active, the user primarily utilizes kicks based on the enhanced strength of their legs; attacks that possess immense destructive power due to the immense force generated by their acceleration.

Tachyon Kick (타키온 킥, Takion Kick): Tachi's signature technique; she charges the Sonic Runner with energy and delivers a powerful kick that causes a cheetah head to appear.

Infinity Bumper (인피니티 범퍼, "Piniti Bompeo"): Quickly circles the opponent to disorient them while delivering a series of consecutive strikes

Unnamed Move: A move that involves a series of rapid strikes from Sonicrunner

Tachyon Storm (Takyon Seutom): An enhanced version of the Infinity Bumper. The increased speed creates a rotating vortex that traps the opponent, preventing them from escaping. Furthermore, the vortex is powerful enough to persist for a short time, even if the user deviates from the circular path mid-maneuver.
