Wave Scanner
Geo's Wave Scanner in the anime
The Wave Scanner (ウェーブスキャナー) is toy and peripheral for the first Mega Man Star Force game. It is also used as a mobile terminal in the anime.
It follows the theme for the Transer where there are 3 versions and colors that match the Satellite Admins: Pegasus (blue), Leo (red), and Dragon (green). The Wave Scanner toy also has a DX variation with Geo's Star Force symbol, along with a darker shade of blue that matches Mega Man's and aligns with the Pegasus Satellite. Additionally, each version also has different patterns on their faceplate, ice on Pegasus, flames on Leo, vines on Dragon, and Geo and Mega Man on DX.
Toy[]
The Wave Scanner is a toy released by Takara Tomy in Japan, where it can be played as an LCD game like the other terminal toys. However, it lacks speakers, so earphones must be jacked in for sound, the mini games within it takes advantage of the stereo sound. It also functions as an stereo radio.
Using the cable hidden under a panel of the Wave Scanner, it can also be connected to the microphone port on the Nintendo DS for use with the Japanese version of Mega Man Star Force and can connect with the Wave Transer toy. It is basically the successor of the Battle Chip Gate, allowing players to use real life Battle Cards in their game. Instead of letting Mega Man use the cards in battle however, these cards instead boost existing cards or replace them with a higher Class card.
The Wave Scanner has a sliding portion that can be attached to the GBA slot of the Nintendo DS and Nintendo DS Lite for easier carrying during gameplay. However, since the Nintendo DSi models do not have a GBA slot, it cannot attach. It can still use its features since the connection is only through the microphone port.
Players can also transfer their save data to the DS game as Scanner Data and give Mega Man incredible stat boosts. Additionally, it will allow Mega Man to start in a Star Force form, depending on the version of Wave Scanner that is equipped.
Anime[]
The Wave Scanner appears in the Mega Man Star Force anime, where it it used used as an alternative for the Transer, sharing many of its functions. Geo Stelar receives a special Wave Scanner from Aaron Boreal in AMAKEN to replace his broken Transer in episode 42. A Wave Scanner is also seen being used by Aaron Boreal, Patrick Sprigs, Sonia Strumm (Leo), and Libra (Leo, in Mitch Shepar's form).
