ARMS: The Springtron Society

**ARMS: The Springtron Society** is an alternate universe created by LastyGhost based on the videogame by Nintendo. It's planned to be rebooted.

## General synopsis

*"ARMS: Tronsciety is an AU (alternate universe) based on the videogame ARMS. A legion of Springtron clones, known as the Springtron Society, is on the rise, and the lives of the fighters of ARMS League now fluctuate in their presence. Some become relentless enemies, others become partners, but their story, to their eyes, is unclear."*

*"ARMS, its characters, and most settings are created and owned by Nintendo"*

## Development

The earliest stage of *ARMS: The Springtron Society* dates from Late 2017, with the release of Springtron as a playable character in the game and the creation of Springtron No. 1011. Its original name was *ARMS: Tronsciety*; the main idea of the alternate universe has been kept since: Springtron clones were mass-produced and initially programmed to fight but No. 1011 was special in the sense that it did not enjoy fighting, thus beginning a journey on seeking its own identity while avoiding the clones' attention the most it can.

No. 1011's story has been modified several times since, including his origins, friendships, and human memories, most of which were described in 2018. It came to a stop for most of 2019, but after LastyGhost acquired Procreate, it took a turn for the better, as No. 1011 becomes accepted by the Springtron Society, and in Early 2020, it is described that he gets a job.

2020 felt like a year of hope for *ARMS: Tronsciety*: it was given its name and a lot of ideas were sparking on LastyGhost's mind, particularly those of stories of official characters. They were being shared and there was hype for them to occur, although several changes were still being made so everyone had a role. Except Max Brass, Dr. Coyle, and Misango, as LastyGhost did not like them at the time, and they would even get killed off in the living characters' stories.

2021 was a conflicted year for *ARMS: Tronsciety*. A certain user was generating ideas for it and developing on it without LastyGhost's permission. She was aware that she was not asked about it, but real-life matters, a temporary loss of interest in *ARMS*, and the writing process of *Reckon Crystal*'s definitive version made her ignorant.

It is because of conflict with the user that LastyGhost changed several things about *ARMS: Tronsciety* once she broke ties with them: Max Brass, Dr. Coyle, and Misango would be alive and have their own stories, Spring Man would be turned into a cyborg at some point, and other currently unknown plot material has been planned and changed, thus it will be long before it gets executed.

It was not until Early-Mid-2022 when No. 1011's story was added to LastyGhost Wiki. With the character's new identity, Jonathan Ingalls, it is no longer planned for a completed, extended version of Springtron No. 1011's story to be written or continue modifications. He was an important part of the alternate universe's development, but it was better for LastyGhost and for *ARMS: Tronsciety* to stay as resumed, readable history. Not to mention, the memory of unauthorized development continued to haunt her, even while she wrote and finished *Reckon Crystal* later that year.

Proper development of *ARMS: The Springtron Society*'s definitive version is currently unclear.

### Name

*Tronsciety* was the name given to LastyGhost's first island in *Animal Crossing: New Horizons*, which she opened under her secondary Switch account themed after Springtron No. 1011, unaware that all active accounts in the console would share the island. In Late 2020, it was decided that *Tronsciety* would also be the name of the *ARMS* alternate universe LastyGhost worked and reworked for years.
