Transam, known as Transamu (トランザム Toranzamu) in Japan, is a series of LIGHT Attribute Galaxy Type monsters used by Yudias Velgear (and his manga counterpart) in the Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!! anime and manga, and Taiyo Asobe in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel LP manga.
The series is notable for including the first Ritual Monster of any Rush Duel medium, "Transam Diskarma Linac".

EtymologyEdit
In Japanese, all Transam cards have a name with the sound rai (ライ), which together with the series' name is intended to form the word "samurai". While monsters tend to be specifically named after marine invertebrates, the Spell/Trap Cards have more general puns.
MembersEdit
Main DeckEdit
Transam monsters appear as ethereal humanoids with varying skin colors, based on the eponymous marine invertebrates and clad in highly-stylized chanbara-inspired fashion.

All Fusion Monsters in the theme require "Linac" as Fusion Material. Even when the other material is generic, features of specific monsters are recognizable in the design (which are often used as the material used to Fusion Summon it in its debut appearance).

Playing styleEdit
The series revolves around "Transam Linac" and cards that serve to support it, either directly or indirectly. While most of the theme's cards can be played as generic Galaxy Type support, they tend to work best in tandem with "Linac".
