The card input system Command Voicer Complete Edition will be released as a transformation device used by all 7 B-Fighters. The original Command Voicer was released in 1996, with the Insert Voicer version only released in Japan. The new version of the device has been designed to be accurate to the prop used in the show, including a new sculpt and painted in black ink to improve its quality. The device will also have two plates that can be interchangeable to make the Command Voicer or Insert Voicer, with the flip mechanic for the horns or data screen.
The Device comes with a dedicated pedestal and all 7 input cards for all warriors in the series, plus the 3 cards used to summon the Neo Beet Machines, known in Beetleborgs as the Battle Vehicles (B.V.). The input cards have all been sculpted and plated, instead of stickers, with the Neo Beet Machine cards sculpted for the first time. In addition, this version of the toy has voice word recognition, which allows voice play with various sound effects for each word. A mission mode will also be included, which will require the correct input card and voice word to be successful.
