The Transformation Smoke Pistol Transteam Gun (変身煙銃 トランスチームガン, Henshin Enjū Toransuchīmu Gan) is the personal weapon and transformation device of Night Rogue and Blood Stalk. It is also the personal weapon of Kamen Rider Evol. It combines with the Steam Blade to form the Steam Rifle (スチームライフル, Suchīmu Raifuru).
It is a simplified version of Kaisei Mogami's Nebulasteam Gun created by Takumi Katsuragi, who worked as Kaisei's assistant. It operates solely on Nebula Gas, rather than the original's combination of Nebula Gas and Bugster Virus[1].
Unlike the Rider System, the Transteam System (トランスチームシステム, Toransuchīmu Shisutemu) does not rely upon the user's Hazard Level. This enables people that have not undergone extensive Nebula Gas experimentation to use it. As a result, however, it cannot raise the user's Hazard Level, meaning that the power of the transformation is fixed. [Who Takes Off The Veil?] [ROGUE] Hence, Transteam System users must rely solely on their own skill, abilities, and experience in fights.
The schematics for the Transteam Gun and its abilities are detailed in the 2nd file of Project Build.
Design
The Transteam Gun is composed of the following parts:
- Fullbottle Slot (フルボトルスロット, Furubotoru Surotto) - The slot of the Transteam Gun, it takes in a Lost Bottle (Cobra or Bat) used for transformation or a Fullbottle for an attack (i.e. Rocket). It has a function which activates the Transgel Solid inside of the Fullbottle via a special pulse, allowing the Transteam Gun to suck up the Fullbottle's essence.
- Blazing Steamer (ブレイジングスチーマー, Bureijingu Suchīmā) - The gun port of the Transteam Gun, it can shoot out bullets wrapped in hot steam called Steam Burettes (スチームビュレット, Suchīmu Byuretto) (On a side note, a Burette is a lab equipment used in chemistry to measure the volume of a liquid or gas. It consists of a glass tube with a stopcock at one end). Additionally, it also shoots out Transgel Steam (トランジェルスチーム, Toranjeru Suchīmu), which is used for transformation.
- Mystic Charger (ミスティックチャージャー, Misutikku Chājā) - The silver panel on the Transteam Gun with pipes on it. It is a steam generation unit which is directly mounted onto the gun. It heats up the Lost/Fullbottle's Transgel Solid (essence) and turns it into Transgel Steam, allowing transformation. In addition, Nebula Gas is stored inside of its inner tank, allowing Night Rogue and Blood Stark to change humans into Smash whenever they desire without using laboratory equipment.
- Power Hit Grip (パワーヒットグリップ, Pawā Hitto Gurippu) - The hilt of the Transteam Gun. Because it is composed of materials that can withstand impacts, it can be used as an impromptu striking weapon. Additionally, a computer unit inside it uses combat data to figure out the user's combat style and adjusts shooting behaviour accordingly.
Functionality
Transformation
Fullbottles are loaded into the Transteam Gun to transform. Night Rogue uses the Bat Fullbottle to transform, and Blood Stalk uses the Cobra Fullbottle. The transformation command is "Jouketsu" (蒸血 lit. Blood Steam). According to Gentoku Himuro, to use the Transteam Gun, the user needs to have Hazard Level at a suitable level, albeit not as high as the Build Driver's requirement. [Night Rogue Chapter]
Users (chronological order)
| User | Transformation | Episode Obtained | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gentoku Himuro | Prologue: NIGHT ROGUE RISES | Gentoku's Transteam Gun was the first to be created by Faust scientists along with the Bat Fullbottle, which was placed in a glass case. When Gentoku announced the founding of Faust, he smashed the case and took the Transteam Gun and Fullbottle to transform, christening himself as Night Rogue.
He continued using it for three years, but lost it when it was presumably taken by Namba Heavy Industries Ltd. after his exile from Touto and given to Utsumi. | |
| Evolto/Soichi Isurugi | Pre-series | The second Transteam Gun. Evolto had already been in possession of one for an unknown period of time by the start of the series. | |
| Nariaki Utsumi | Theory of Conspiracy (briefly) Kamen Rider Build: Raising the Hazard Level ~7 Best Matches~: First Chapter |
Utsumi originally transformed into Night Rogue to act as Gentoku's decoy in order to keep his identity a secret, with the Transteam Gun being returned to its owner afterward.
Later, he would take Gentoku's Transteam Gun and transform into Night Rogue several more times in order to collect data on Sento. |
Finisher
The Transtream Gun has 2 finishers: the Steam Break (スチームブレイク, Suchīmu Bureiku) with the Bat Fullbottle or Cobra Fullbottle/Evolbottle and the Steam Attack (スチームアタック, Suchīmu Atakku) with any other Fullbottle.
When combined with the Steam Blade to form the Steam Rifle, its finishers are the Steam Shot (スチームショット, Suchīmu Shotto) with the Bat Fullbottle or Cobra Fullbottle/Evolbottle and the Steam Attack with any other Fullbottle.
- Cobra Fullbottle: Blood Stalk fires a purple cobra energy blast that detonates upon impact.
- Rocket Fullbottle: This finisher has two variations:
- Blood Stalk fires a rocket that homes in on an enemy.
- Blood Stalk fires a rocket that flies around the enemy before attacking them from above.
- Rabbit Evolbottle: Evol runs extremely fast in a circle around the enemy and fires at them with the Steam Rifle.
- Bat Fullbottle: Night Rogue fires a steam bullet at the enemy.
- Cobra Fullbottle: Blood Stalk fires a purple cobra energy blast that detonates upon impact.
- Cobra Evolbottle:
- Elek Steam: Evol fires a red and blue homing shot coated in electricity
Notes
- Being a transformation device that also doubles as a gun, it is similar to the Drake Glip, Diendriver, Break Gunner and Lupin Gunner.
- Particular aspects make it closer to the Break Gunner, as it was designed to transform into a Rider-like form as opposed to the other aforementioned devices, and could use the collectible devices used by protagonists and antagonists of the series.
- While serving as inferior verson of Nebulasteam Gun, Transteam Gun has its color matched with Steam Blade.
- Similar to Steam Blade, the pipes on Transteam Gun are colored after 3 common colors of electric wires in real-life (red, green and yellow).
- The Transteam Gun has both a full-size prop and a smaller prop used in the show, with the smaller model being used when Soichi transforms into Blood Stalk. The small model is approximately the size of DX version.
- The transformation announcement, Mist Match, is likely a pun on the words mist and mismatch.
