If you watched Full Metal Panic!, you have to be familiar with a sophisticated robot called Arm Slave (USA). These robots are commonly used by Mithril and Amalgam soldiers to fight each other.
Of the many Arm Slaves that appear in the story, MogiMogy will discuss the most powerful Arm Slaves throughout the story. Curious? Check out the full review below!
10. M6 Bushnell
The M6 Bushnell is a second-generation Arm Slave normally operated by American military forces. The power source of the robot depends on the gas turbine engine. In addition, the robot was developed to match the Russian Savage.
In terms of design, the M6 Bushnell has bulkier armor and is less streamlined than other types of AS. That's what makes the movement of the robot slow. Even so, the mecha's performance can be maximized when held by a reliable pilot.
9. Plan-1211 Alastor
Unlike the previous AS, Plan-1211 Alastor is an interesting AS that is the size of a normal human body. The robot was developed by Leonard Testarossa and usually serves as his personal bodyguard.
In terms of ability, Alastor is no less great than the US in general. The robot is equipped with an AI system capable of responding to commands from Leonard. The robot also has interesting weapons, an example of which is a machine gun.
8. M9E Gernsback
M9E Gernsback is a third generation Arm Slave commonly used by Mithril for combat. Interestingly, the naming of the US was inspired by a science fiction writer named Hugo Gernsback.
When compared to the M6, the M9E Gernsback is able to move much more agilely. In addition, the US was well equipped with interesting weaponry something pilots needed. The US can also be equipped with the ECS system which makes it see-through.
7. Plan-1056 Codarl
Plan-1056 Codarl aka Venom is a prototype of the third generation Arm Slave equipped with a Lambda Driver. These robots are often used by Gauron or other Amalgam members to fight against Mithril.
Codarl is able to move very nimbly when fighting on the battlefield. The robot usually attacks the enemy using a combat knife. In addition, the robot has an impenetrable defense thanks to the help of the Lambda Driver.
6. M9D Falke
The M9D Falke is a variation of the M9E Gernsback which looks way cooler and badass. If Gernsback is synonymous with white, the M9D Falke has the dominant black color. The AS is one of Mithril's strongest weapons.
Like the M9E in general, the M9D Falke is equipped with a sophisticated electronic and communication equipment system. This US capability was very clearly seen when it was operated by a Mithril member named Ben Clouseau.
5. Plan-1065 Erigor
Plan-1065 Erigor is a more recent version of Codarl. The AS is also equipped with a Lambda Driver system. There are three types of Erigor each controlled by Leonard Testarossa's three minions.
In the battle at Leonard's base, Erigor was able to defeat the M9 troops so easily. Even pilots as great as Ben Clouseau and Melissa Mao could be overwhelmed by them. Because of that, their strength was superior.
4. Plan-1051 Behemoth
Plan-1051 Behemoth is one of the most powerful and terrifying Arm Slaves. The size of the US is huge like a giant. What's more terrible is that the US is equipped with Lambda Driver.
With its size and arsenal, Behemoth can easily destroy a city or target area. To defeat the robot, US pilots need to work together and unite forces.
3. ARX-7 Arbalest
The ARX-7 Arbalest is arguably the most iconic Arm Slave in the Full Metal Panic! story. The AS is Mithril's flagship robot equipped with a Lambda Driver and a very sophisticated AI system.
Besides, Arbalest can only be controlled by Sousuke Sagara. Their combination of cooperation often saved people from dangerous situations, for example during the fierce battle against the Gauron who invaded the Tuatha De Danaan.
2. Plan-1055 Belial
Plan-1055 Belial is an Arm Slave controlled by Leonard Testarossa. The robot has a black-gray color that looks very cool. In addition, its strength is much more terrible than other US.
Belial is able to issue deadly attacks, both from a distance and at close range. As proof of his prowess, Belial can easily destroy Arbalest until Sousuke gives up hope.
1. ARX-8 Laevatein
According to the author, the ARX-8 Laevatein is the most powerful Arm Slave so far. The AS is a more powerful version of Arbalest. The US was designed by the Wraith when Arbalest was destroyed by Leonardo in battle.
Unlike Arbalest, Lavatein was specifically designed to suit Sousuke's fighting style. The robot can make Sousuke fight totally. With the robot, he can beat the US as strong as Behemoth without taking much time.
