When colossal kaiju begin attacking from the sea, land, and air, humanity develops equally powerful mecha units to stop them in explosive hand-to-hand combat.
- Prototypes
Designated ATRX-1, the “Mecha Aatrox” unit was developed in response to 'gliding' kaiju with the capability of limited flight. In addition, ATRX-1 wields a thermal blade that can turn residual light particles into a heated cutting edge.
Designated ASOL-13, the “Mecha Aurelion Sol” is a gigantic, mobile mothership carrying tens of thousands of personnel, attack fighters, and ground-based anti-kaiju vehicles. Buried within its hull are a vast array of weapons, making ASOL-13 more than a match for even the most gargantuan kaiju.
The last defense against enemy threat, Mecha unit GAL-10 operates with relative autonomy to protect the walled city. Following the most recent incursion, GAL-10 did not return to a state of dormancy as expected but instead entered the offensive ”Seeker” state. Leaving its post, the unit set off toward an unknow threat.
Designated K-ZX, the “Mecha Kha'Zix” unit was the first of the mecha line to be deployed against the kaiju threat. Due to its smaller size, it functions best in urban environments, adapting on the fly to threats against civilian populations.
Designated M-2, the “Mecha Malphite” unit is a massive, bipedal fortress capable of turning into a planetary drill—making it the ultimate defensive option when faced with new and powerful kaiju. A single punch from its gauntlets can blow holes through thick titanium sheeting, and such attacks have felled countless monsters.
Designated RNGR-7, the “Mecha Rengar” unit is the second stealth-based unit developed for urban combat. Bereft of its own warping technology, the RNGR can transform into a car for additional mobility.
The ultimate ground-based mecha unit, 0-SION becomes like a freight train once given a combat directive, and will literally stop at nothing to dismantle an opponent—no matter how much damage it takes. There are lingering concerns that it could go rogue, but so far these worries have been unfounded.
An unstoppable dreadnought created by reverse engineering the data gathered on the giant enemy Crabgot, Mecha unit UR-907 is capable of leveling entire cities with horrifying ease. This machine's deployment has even the most bloodthirsty of generals questioning the ethics of a weapon with such indiscriminate destructive power.

All Out War[]
- AMBITION
There were many prototypes, but I was the first and greatest success.
I crushed. I terrified. I destroyed.
- CONFINEMENT
I was wired for superiority, but the other units would not bow. My creators feared me.
They decommissioned me.
- RAMPAGE
I will not be stopped. I will not be forgotten.
I will annihilate them all.
Mecha Rengar returns to the hunt[]
With a mechanical roar, Prototype
crashed into the testing grounds; Prototype hovered above him, victorious but severely damaged. The lab abandoned 09 and documented their findings: the beast's construct proved inferior to the insect's.But 09's internal memory would not let him forget. He was the true predator. And a true predator always returned to the hunt.
