This article is about a weapon/transformation device in Kamen Rider Build. |
|
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 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 (Build Driver), the Transteam Gun (represented as Transteam System (トランスチームシステム, Toransuchīmu Shisutemu)) does not increase the user's Hazard Level (which when raised, can increase the power of the user). Hence, Transteam system users rely solely on their own skill, ability, and experience in fights.
The schematics for the Transteam Gun and its abilities are detailed in the 2nd file of Project Build.
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 raise their Hazard Level first to a suitably high level, albeit not as high as the Build Driver requirement.

Finisher
The Transtream Gun has 2 shooting finishers: Steam Break (スチームブレイク, Suchīmu Bureiku) with a Faust Fullbottle and Steam Attack (スチームアタック, Suchīmu Atakku) with a normal Fullbottle.
As the Steam Rifle, its shooting finishers are Steam Shot (スチームショット, Suchīmu Shotto) with a Faust Fullbottle and Steam Attack with a normal Fullbottle.
- Bat:
- Cobra: Blood Stalk shoots a purple cobra energy blast that detonates upon impact.
- Bat: Night Rogue shoots a powerful steam blast at the enemy.
- Cobra: Blood Stalk shoots a purple cobra energy blast that detonates upon impact.
- Rocket: Blood Stalk shoots a powerful blast attack that takes the form of a rocket. The rocket flies around the enemy before coming to the ground for an explosion.
Notes
- Being a transformation device that also doubles as weapon (gun), it is similar to the Drake Grip, 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.
- The transformation call, Mist Match, could be a pun on the words mist and mismatch.
- This is the first transformation device to be used by the series antagonists, capable of combining with a sidearm for more powerful attacks, and make use of the series collectible to augment its power.
- The closest comparison can be seen in Kamen Rider Chalice (being a series antagonist only by nature), when the Chalice Rouzer (the Rider's personal weapon) was inserted into the Chalice Arrow (the main weapon for the template of said Rider).
