Transformation Locks are a type of Omnitrix invented by Dr. Emilia Krauze from the series Tech Cross.

General[]

Transformation locks are handheld personal devices generally manufactured in the shape of a traditional padlock. A matching key is required to activate the lock's transformation function, although the specific mechanism varies.

Each transformation lock is equipped with an energy field that activates when the matching key is inserted to protect the user during the transformation process.

DNA Keys[]

Most transformation locks are blank transformation mechanisms, with the actual DNA used for the transformations being stored in keys compatible with the system.

Models[]

EvoLocks[]

EvoLocks were the first variety of transformation locks introduced, using EvoKey DNA keys to transform the user into various Evolvyrns. Their distribution rights currently lie with Raivent Enterprises.

The lock itself is designed to resemble the face of a snake, with the keys combining elements of a bat and a spider. EvoKeys all have the same shape, and any key can be used in any EvoLock. The DNA stored on the key is indicated by the color gradient running down translucent panels on the key's center. A blank key will have no color in these panels.

EvoLocks have three indicator lights on the right side of the lock that light up in response to different potential malfunctions. If a lock is hijacked by an external entity, all three lights will come on to indicate the lock is no longer fit for use.

The transformation field of an EvoLock presents as a reddish orb of energy that forms around the user.

EvoGun[]

The EvoGun is a simple pistol with the electronic guts of an EvoLock molded into it. It was custom-made for Lucius Raivent, head of Raivent Enterprises. It can use any EvoKey, but the four used in rotation by Lucius himself are painted purple to differentiate them.

The transformation field of the EvoGun presents as a series of energy chains.

BootLock[]

Bootleg EvoLocks created by the weapons master Verramortem for the criminal organization known as the Triumvirate. BootLocks reverse the DNA key dynamic by placing the DNA samples in the locks themselves and relegating the keys to simple activation mechanisms. Unlike legitimate EvoLocks, BootLocks are not created with any safety mechanisms in place, which can result in harmful mutations appearing in their contained Evolvyrn samples over time.

The transformation field of a BootLock presents as a crackling, electrified field of energy.

Teilin Customs[]

The Teilin Customs are a series of unique BootLocks commissioned by Joshua Messias that all use some variation of the Teilin Evolvyrn Silver Break. These BootLocks do not require a key in order to activate, instead being secured with a genetic locking mechanism that restricts its use to those with a specific genetic signature. If the user has a matching genetic signature, the locking mechanism will disengage, allowing the use to transform by simply pulling up on the physical lock's loop.

With this locking mechanism in play, the key slot at the bottom of these BootLocks has been modified to read data from DNA Keys and merge it with the DNA sample already contained within the lock, creating a fusion transformation.

SpecOps Lock[]

The SpecOps Lock is a transformation lock created for Christine Eldridge to assist her in police work. The lock is colored in various shades of gold and is molded to resemble a police badge. An emblem on the front of the lock displays the name of the given DNA sample when a SpecOps DNA key is used.

The transformation field of the SpecOps Lock presents as energized holograms of police tape surrounding the user in several layered rings.

CrossTrix[]

The CrossTrix is the ultimate evolution of transformation lock technology, building on its base design to become a gauntlet-type Omnitrix. The CrossTrix's various modes are controlled by a combination lock built into the back of the gauntlet. Ten DNA samples are stored in the CrossTrix itself and can be selected by activating the transformation code and turning the dial.

In addition to this, the center of the CrossTrix's dial acts as a "master lock", adapting to use any kind of DNA Key inserted into it. The genetic data stored on these keys can be cross-sampled into a selected alien transformation, enhancing them with the abilities of the key's alien.

Special DNA keys called "CrossKeys" are only compatible with the CrossTrix and cannot be used with other transformation lock systems.

The transformation field of the CrossTrix presents as three layers of energized rings circling around the user.

Trivia[]

  • The EvoLock system's sinister aesthetic was a creative choice on the part of Dr. Krauze, who just really likes heavy metal.
