| Who
Are The CyberCops?
The “CyberCops” are part of a special division
of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department codenamed
“Z.A.C.” (Zero-Section Armed Constable).
This unique division is tasked to combat those criminals
that are too dangerous or powerful for normal cops to
handle. The “CyberCops” are outfitted with
high-tech armor called “Bit Suits” which
empower its wearer with a variety of superpowers.
The “Bit Suits” shield the
wearer from a variety of physical attacks (bullets,
explosions, fire) and also give the wearer superhuman
strength and agility. These suits are constructed using
a unique process called the “CyberNation System”
and are accessed by Z.A.C. members through “Cyber
Bombing” which occurs only when the Z.A.C. members
would enter special chambers called “Bit Stations”.
The “Bit Suit” armors can
be outfitted with a number of customized weapon attachments
called “Cyber Bits” which are specifically
suited to each armor. The “Cyber Bit” units
are attached via the command phrase “Set Arm”.
These “Cyber Bits” are housed in special
attaché cases (sometimes called “Trunks”)
codenamed “Black Chambers” and are shuttled
and delivered to the “CyberCops” via an
elaborate underground tunnel system under Tokyo. The
“Black Chamber” cases are funneled through
“Chamber Tubes” which lead to a variety
of “Bit Station” access points across Tokyo,
where the Cyber Cops can retrieve their weapons. These
“Bit Stations” can be found in a variety
of ordinary locales (telephone booths, bank machines
etc.) “Bit Stations” can only be accessed
via special access cards carried by Z.A.C. members.
There are four primary “CyberCops”:
Takeda
Shinya (Jupiter)
Wears the fire red armor, “Jupiter Bit”.
A former Interpol operative, Takeda was transferred
to the CyberCops division in the hopes of unraveling
his secret past. Takeda for reasons unknown is unable
to remember the last years of his life. It is revealed
later in the series that Takeda is really from the 23rd
Century and was teleported back to 199X via a time/space
portal. While he normally has a very sunny disposition
and is very fun-loving, he has a considerable temper
that can escalate into a “battle rage” when
fighting opponents.
The “Jupiter Bit” armor
is considered the next generation of “Bit Suit”.
The “Jupiter Bit” armor is the most advanced
armor in the Z.A.C. arsenal and is far more powerful
than any of the other armors (it is revealed that the
suit, like Takeda are from the future).
The “Jupiter Bit”
armor can be outfitted with the following powerful weapon
attachments:
“Police Shield”.
Shield unit which can repel certain forms of energy
and physical attacks.
“Rock Buster”
Cyber Bit Weapon. The “Rock Buster” arm
attachment can drill through most solid object and can
bore through rock and debris with ease. The drill attachment
can also be propelled like a rocket through the ground.
“Thunder Arm”
Cyber Bit weapon. The “Thunder Arm” weapon
is Jupiter’s multi-purpose attack arm piece. The
“Thunder Arm” can launch a number of special
attacks:
“Hyper Attack”
– Using the “Thunder Arm” Jupiter
can punch and chop with incredible force.
“Hyper Crusher”
– Using the “Thunder Arm” Jupiter
can grab an enemy with a vice-like grip that can crush
enemies.
“Hyper Shield”
– Using the “Thunder Arm” Jupiter
can project a force barrier that can repel oncoming
energy and projectile attacks.
“Hyper Storm”
– Using the “Thunder Arm” Jupiter
can project a maelstrom of wind that can sheer and cut
opponents.
“Rolling Charger”
– Jupiter can powerup his weaponry through this
procedure which involves swinging the “Thunder
Arm” in a circular motion. Once charged he can
perform the following attacks:
“Thunder Attack”
– His Hyper Attack power is doubled.
“Thunder Magnum”
– Using the “Thunder Arm’s”
gun attachment, he is able to fire a concentrated laser
blast that can destroy objects with one hit.
“Thunder Laser”
– Using the “Thunder Arm’s gun attachment,
he is able to fire a fine laser beam powerful enough
to slice through concrete and steel.
“Cybernetic Wave”
– Using this power, Jupiter can hit and enemy
in rapid succession a hundred times in the blink of
an eye (similar to Kenshiro’s “Hokuto No
Ken” abilities in the anime series).
Unlike the other “Cyber Bit”
weapons, these attachments are accessed by Jupiter via
a time/space portal aperture.
When Takeda’s rage is ignited
to a certain degree, he is able to “power up”
his armor to an even greater degree. When this occurs
the “horn” piece of his helmet raises and
his wings unfold. This status is called the “Cyber
Guilty” mode.
“Blade Runner”
Cycle - Jupiter’s “super cycle”
which can run at incredible speeds.
Hojo Akira

of duty and honor. He was top of his class at the Police
Academy and was formerly an elite officer with the Tokyo
Police Department.
His “Mars Bit” armor is
designed specifically to provide heavy artillery and
firearms support. Due to the size of his suit, the “Mars
Bit” is one of the slower units and hampers Hojo’s
movements a bit. His armor is outfitted with “Stabilize
Gear”, which brace his armor when he uses his
heavy guns.
The “Mars Bit” can
be equipped with three powerful Cyber Bit weapon attachments:
“Tri-Shot”

in stopping).

Who Are The
“Death Trap”?
The goals of the “Death Trap” syndicate
are simple – eradicate all humankind on Earth
and supplant the world with computer and silicon life
forms.
Led by the maniacal and crazed computer
program “Fuhrer” Soutou (Despot Fuhrer),
the “Death Trap” syndicate launches a number
of terrorist attacks against Tokyo City using its army
of “Death Droids” and battle mecha.
It is later revealed that the “Despot
Fuhrer” was in actuality a computer entity from
the 23rd Century which was sent back in time to usurp
control of the world. The computer was build by a human
- future criminal mastermind Baron Kageyama who planned
on ruling the world by taking over the past. Baron Kageyama
later merges himself with Despot Fuhrer to become a
superhuman entity.
The “Death Trap”
syndicate is actually comprised of three crime organizations:
The Ominous
Gang
Led by the evil criminal Prof. Enustein, his gang is
comprised of specially designed black armored Ominous
Death Droids which can be customized with a number of
deadly weapon attachments. Prof. Ensustein’s brain
was transplanted with the brain of a leading Hi-Tech/Cybernetics
expert. Using this newfound knowledge he is able to
unlock the mysteries of “Super Physics”
(Cho Rion Butsuri) to modify his Ominous droids.
The Harcross
Gang
Led by the feline-like Ms. Dueen who commands the ghostly
white Harcross Death Droids. They can also be outfitted
with a number of deadly weapon attachments affording
them a great deal of versatility and customization.
She is an expert in Biology and Genetics.
The Garoga
Gang
Led by the hulking Prof. Frued, his Garogoid (Hie Ningen
Gata Mecha <Non-Humanoid Mecha>) army is comprised
of monsterous mecha creations and robots. His brain
was replaced with a leading expert in psychology. Specializes
in grand scale attacks and psychological warfare. Carries
an electrified whip which he can use against the CyberCops.
Later yet another gang is incorporated
into the “Death Trap” syndicate:
Beast
Master Luna & The Shitenoh (Four Kings)
Luna is the sister of Prof. Enustein. Vowed to avenge
her brother’s death at the hands of the CyberCops.
To this end she assembled a quartet of super soldiers
who would help her defeat the CyberCops. Her “Shitenoh”
comprise of:
“Tiger”
– who was armed with razor sharp boomerangs which
he could use to behead his enemies.
“Salamander” –
who was armed with an electric charged whip.
“Turtle" –
who had superhuman strength and the ability to emit
fire bursts.
“Eagle” –
a master martial artist whose hands and feet were armed
with razors and who also had superhuman reflexes and
speed.
Luna was a master strategist and was
incredibly intelligent. Fell in love with Hojo Akira/Mars
and eventually betrayed Fuhrer and Baron Kageyama only
to be killed in battle. |
