Transporter Series
Wave 2
Asst. No 65420
(November - 1998)

"Energize!"
Because Galaxy class starships are incapable of landing on the surface of a planet, the transporter is used to move people and supplies between ship and surface. The transporter locks on to the beaming subject, converts the subject into energy, beams that energy to the target location, then reassembles the subject into original form.

The Next Generation Wave features incorrect uniforms - the colors are wrong.  The shoulder and torso colors are reversed.  Mara Hart (Playmates customer service representative) explained:

"We used the right uniform and tooling however the paint job was reversed. The error was initially by the previous product manager but was then approved by Paramount and never even caught through Toy Fair 199[8]. On all the figures we used old heads and body's from previous figures except for worf, which was a newer head at the actors request and Paramount. The old paintmaster must have been wrong and the colors were reversed and then no one caught the error. There is no word at this time if we will release a corrected figure."

Mara Hart's comments were posted to the Playtrek mailing list, and re-posted on Raving Toy Maniac News.

Lt. Cmdr. Data Stock No. 65421 Packed 1 Per Case Starfleet shuttlecraft are equipped with armbands that crewmembers can wear to interface with the vessel's emergency transporter. On Stardate 46944.2, a runabout carrying Captain Picard, Lt. Commander Data, Chief Engineer LaForge and Counselor Troi returned to the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D to find their starship and a Romulan Warbird frozen in time. To board the Enterprise, Data suggested modifying the transporter armbands to create an artifical pocket of time around each crewmember. Although the subspace force field could last up to an hour, crewmembers discovered several undesirable side-effects. Counselor Troi became dizzy after activating her armband, and Captain Picard later experienced a temporal narcosis. Any future use of the armbands for this purpose should be limited to no more than ten minutes.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard Stock No. 65422 Packed 2 Per Case On Stardate 47829.1, the renegade Ferengi Bok kidnapped Jason Vigo from the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D. To capture the young man, mistakenly believed to be the son of Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Bok used a subspace transporter with a range of several lightyears - beyond the sensor range of a Galaxy Class Starship. To rescue Vigo, Picard ordered the Enterprise's transporters to be modifired to transmit through subspace. This required alignment of the ship's subspace field coils with its transporter systems and manual modulation of the transporter patten. Picard beamed to the Ferengi ship and rescued Vigo.
Lt. Cmdr. Worf Stock No. 65423 Packed 1 Per Case
Commander William T. Riker Stock No. 65432 Packed 1 Per Case The planet Nervala IV's atmosphere contains a distortion field through which transporters cannot function. Its orbit brings it close enought to its sun once every eight years to cause dephasing of the field and allowing transport to the surface. In 2361 Lt. William T. Riker of the U.S.S. Potemkim led an Away Team to evacuate a Federation research station on the surface. Riker was unable to beam back when a massive energy surge interfered with the signal and caused the Potemkim to lose transporter lock. The transporter chief tried to compensate by initiating a second containment beam. It appeared that Riker made it back to the ship when the pattern in the first beam maintained its integrity. Unknown to the Potemkim crew, however, the second beam was reflected back to the surface, materializing a duplicate Riker. In 2369, a U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D Away Team discovered the second Riker still alive in the research station.
Lt. Cmdr. Geordi LaForge Stock No. 65432 Packed 1 Per Case
