Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I'm also getting strong Sun Wukong vibes from Presto, which makes me wonder if this will be in some way inspired by Journey To The West

Looking at their designs on the official site (here: https://beatrunners.co.jp/) I'm getting even more fond of them, they have a neat combination of tokusatsu rule-of-cool sensibilities and a more grounded military scifi look.

I'm still not confident in my Journey To The West interpretation until we get more information, but as of now I can see Presto as Sun Wukong, Adagio as Tang Sanzang, Lento as Zhu Bajie, and Vivace as Sha Wujing.

Some info about the characters according to the official website.

* The Beat Runners are described as a "Space Threat Countermeasures Combat Team".

* Presto is a courageous bioroid who has perfect pitch.

* Adagio is the calm and collective leader of the team and a perfectionist.

* Vivace is a jovial inventor/mechanic with skills to back it up.

* Lento is a sniper with a lot on her mind but has "beautiful aim".

* Soraiya is the "Queen of the Beginning" who has been described to have evolved after learning about emotions.

*T.D.4, or Tear.Drop.4, is the support singer unit consisting of Ristics, Hugh, Applet, and Spinrock.

I hope this gets official English subs when it gets released.

They should. I understand if a dub is beyond their budget for now, but they should get a super-skilled translator to work on the subs, at the very least.
