Dai-Guard

Dai-Guard (ダイ・ガード, Dai Gaado) is the titular machine of Dai-Guard. In anticipation of further attacks by the Heterodyne, Dai-Guard was originally built by the 21st Century Defence Security corporation for the Anzen Hoshou Army. However, when the Heterodyne failed to reappear, Dai-Guard was returned to 21st Century Defence Security, where it served as a mascot until 2030, when the Heterodyne finally returned.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
Dai-Guard is a difficult machine to operate, requiring three pilots to properly control it: The main pilot controls Dai-Guard's movements, for which the engineer supplies their power, whilst the navigator provides logistic and tactical support. Dai-Guard features a modular design, which allow it to quickly exchange armaments or eject parts in an emergency. Due to its large size, 21st Century Security could not store Dai-Guard in its complete configuration, and so break it down by this means to do so.

Formerly, Dai-Guard required reassembly with custom apparatus before deployment, delaying its mobilisation. However, Dai-Guard was later redeveloped as three seperate vehicles which did not require support to form Dai-Guard. This enabled much more rapid deployment.

Despite originally being developed for military applications, Dai-Guard is not equipped with any firearms. Instead, Dai-Guard equips alternate arm parts for close combat. Most of these armaments are intended for piercing Heterodynes' Fractal Knots.
