Serigant -prototype-

An industrial mech designed in 2078. In the earlier part of the decade, many Asian countries were in a boom for developing mobile humanoid manned weapons, as these proved very effective in the earlier 2060s global oil crisis. The level of artificial intelligence technology was also reaching a boom in the region, so the Seriga corporation based in Japan began development on an unmanned mobile humanoid weapon, later known as the "Serigant". This move was condemned by most western countries of the UN, but the government of Japan did not punish the company's actions and allowed development to continue.

 

Several years later, the Serigant prototype artificial intelligence mechanical humanoid weapon was completed for testing in military operations. The personality of its AI is based off "u1", a popular virtual idol voiced by a singing synthesizer (Vocaloid). Not much is known about the mech's capabilities, and it has only been shown in public videos to be able to walk, run, and sing.
