"A.T.O.M." (an acronym of "Alpha Teens On Machines") is a French animated television series, which chronicles the adventures of five teenagers (the eponymous Alpha Teens), set in the fictional Landmark City. The Alpha Teens, which consist of Axel Manning, Catalina Leone, Crey Kingston, Zack Hawkes, and Ollie Sharker, test prototype vehicles and weapons for Lee Industries, and use these prototypes to combat criminals, particularly the sadistic Alexander Paine.

An Arabic dub of the show was airing on MBC 3.

In the United Kingdom and Latin America , the series is called "Action Man A.T.O.M." and has its own comic book from Panini Comics.

Toyline

The A.T.O.M. toyline is an action figure spin off line of the Action Man franchise distributed by Hasbro. Distinctly different from other Action Man toyline variations, A.T.O.M's selling point is that the figures are the standard size of normal action figures, and not of a doll format, much like Action Man however, these figures are sold individually, usually with figure accessories, from the vehicles distributed to accompany them.

The franchise has vastly similar concepts to the 1980s' M.A.S.K. toyline from Kenner (which Hasbro bought in 1991), (even down to the code name lettering), as each vehicle for the A.T.O.M members changes from one ordinary looking terrain vehicle to anything that ranges from a jet car with unfolding door wings, to a bike that soon propels its driver into the air as a helicopter.

In 2007 Mattel released a 12 inch version of A.T.O.M action figures, similar as the original Action Man action figures. The toy series was composed mostly of several versions of Axel Manning, the main character, and Payne, Flesh and Tilian as the villains. A plane, a sport car and several minor vehicles were included on this edition of A.T.O.M. toys. After 2007, the A.T.O.M figures returned to its habitual size.
