How to Get This W-Engine

Pull it from Signal Search using Master Tapes / Encrypted Master Tapes (bought with Polychrome) — S-rank W-Engines get their own banner, usually alongside the matching character's banner.

Trade for it at the Gadget Shop's Box Galaxy section (Sixth Street): costs W-Engine Components + W-Engine Chips + Denny; Chips come from disassembling spare W-Engines.

A handful of A/B-rank W-Engines unlock through Proxy Primer trials or as story/event rewards instead of the gacha — not every W-Engine is pullable.

Official Artwork / Lore

Original Transmorpher

A dream W-Engine adored by Starlight Knights fans. Its copyright owner claims that counterfeit transformers can transform you into a bad guy NPC. Watch out for a flying kick that'll scare the bejesus out of the bad guys — that's the power of genuine copyrighted merch! "Starlight Knights, transform— Transform! Transform! Why can't I transform? Unless... the stars haven't chosen me?!" — from an unboxing vlog recorded by an anonymous member of the Cunning Hares.

How to read this W-Engine page

Every W-Engine has 5 Refinement ranks (R1→R5): refinement ONLY strengthens the passive effect — the numbers in the table above run from left (R1, unrefined) to right (R5, max refinement via 4 duplicates or Overclock materials); Base ATK and the Advanced Stat (CRIT Rate/CRIT DMG/ATK%/PEN Ratio/Anomaly Proficiency...) do NOT change with refinement, only with the engine's level. "Best Agents for this W-Engine" prioritizes agents whose real build actually recommends this engine; if that data isn't available yet, the page falls back to agents sharing the same specialty as a rough guide. "Alternatives of the same specialty" lists other W-Engines with the same role — useful when you don't own the engine shown on this page.

FAQ

What is Original Transmorpher in Zenless Zone Zero?

Original Transmorpher fits Defense specialty Agents best, with 3 recommended characters including Caesar, Seth, Zhao — see the full list with portraits in the "Best Agents for this W-Engine" section above.

How much Denny and material does it take to upgrade Original Transmorpher, and where do I farm it?

Leveling Original Transmorpher through every milestone takes roughly 4 W-Engine components and Denny ×320,000, Defense Component ×3, Reinforced Defense Component ×26 Denny combined — the components drop from Combat Simulation; see the exact breakdown per milestone and the Battery cost in the "How Much You Need" and "Where to Farm" sections above.

Is Overclocking Original Transmorpher worth it?

Overclocking only strengthens Original Transmorpher's passive effect from ★1 up to ★5 (5 copies) — it never changes Base ATK or the sub-stat, so getting the base copy matters far more; treat extra copies as a bonus.

Where do I get Original Transmorpher?

Mostly through Signal Search gacha (Polychrome); a few A/B-rank W-Engines are tradeable at the Gadget Shop's Box Galaxy or come from story/event rewards — see the "How to Get" section above for details.
