Line 2: Kiss Players (Kisu Pure, also Kiss Play)<ref>The official logo has "Kiss Players" written in English below "Kiss Play" written in Japanese, making both terms official. "Kisu Pure" is "Kiss Play" a la katakana.</ref> is a [[Transformers]] franchise masterminded by Yūki Ōshima from 2006 to 2007. The franchise spanned a toyline, a weekly radio-series drama, and a three-issue manga. It's best known for its extremely controversial material. The basic premise is that Transformers are given power-ups when kissed by human girls (the eponymous "Kiss Players"), who then fuse with the robots for a limited amount of time. The series takes place after [[Transformers: ~~the~~The Movie]]. After being hurled into space by Rodimus Prime, Galvatron crashed down on Earth, specifically on top of Tokyo. The city was destroyed, and so was Earth-Cybertron relations with it. The Earth Defense Force reverse-engineered their own [[Transforming Mecha]] (known as "Autoroopers") from Galvatron's corpse and used them to evict any and all Transformers off of Earth. They then created an anti-electron field around the planet, which would prevent any Transformers from trying to come back. However, this was not an end to Earth's problems. Galvatron's cells began infecting machines and wildlife, creating Megatron-like abominations called Legions. Thankfully, the EDC could also exploit this process as well - humans exposed to Galvatron's cells could fuse with another infected object (such as the Autoroopers) by kissing them. With this, the EDC establishes the "Kiss Players" to fight off the hordes of Legions. The controversy about this series stems from the extreme amounts of [[Freud Was Right\|blatant innuendo and violent sexual imagery]] purposely used throughout the series. While no actual sexual intercourse takes place during the series, young women are drawn with child-like proportions in suggestive positions, the Legions' tongues were drawn like penises, and the are girls nearly constantly being covered in viscous white liquid. Little is known of its actual storyline, which is pretty decent - some of it shades of ''[[Evangelion]],'' with the creator of the technology having a horrifying ulterior motive. However, this isn't quite a case of an unjust [[Everybody Remembers the Stripper]] treatment - the sexual imagery ''is'' blatant, unrelenting, and the author admitted to taking [[Refuge in Audacity]] to the max. The story, being mostly a radio program, was never presented in English. As such, the world has seen a great number of penis-tongued images, but not many plot details. The series was followed by ''Kiss Players Position'', which was much, ''much'' tamer than its predecessor. In this series, the Kiss Players meet up with the mysterious Sparkbots. The Sparkbots then take them on a quest through time and space to retrieve Allspark fragments from the various Autobot and Maximal leaders. {{spoiler\|That is, until a [[Giant Hands of Doom\|giant golden hand]] tells the girls that those aren't Allspark fragments, and the Sparkbots are not to be trusted.}} This series filled the holes in some of the Japanese franchise's continuity kerfluffles (such as Generation One and Robots in Disguise being in the same continuity. Kiss Players and related media contains the untold story of how G1 Fortress Maximus ~~became~~is related to RID Fortress Maximus, as well as establishing the connections between Oracle, Matrix of Leadership, Primus, Vector Sigma and has Ravage in his future Beast Wars incarnation interfering in the past as the "mysterious" Black Panther Man).
