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
A custom supercomputing W-Engine which specializes in aim assist and calculating trajectories, it looks more like some kind of pirated Starlight Knight figurine now that Billy's finished his modifications. It flashes brightly whenever an enemy is detected, and shouts out pre-set quotes. Despite this move clearly exposing one's location and attracting the enemy, this is not an issue for Billy so long as everything is cool enough. "COPY? How can you call that a copy?! I've poured all my passion, wisdom, soul, and moisture into this! Apart from summoning a shooting star to transform me — this is real deal, bona fide Starlight Knight equipment!" — Billy, enthusiastically outlining his modding philosophy

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.
