Garland

The Garland is the overall theme mecha of the Megazone 23 (series).

Technology & Combat Characteristics
In the 25th century, when humanity exodus from the earth to live aboard the Megazone ships, they also began to uprise rebellion upon the military discovering the illusional peace maintained by the ship's mother computer. They analyzed Bahamut's data to develop combat units where they can transform from the motorcycle Maneuver Craft mode to the humanoid Maneuver Slave mode. In addition to its transformation function, the Garland was designed to function as a Bahamut access terminal. Soon after the Garland's completion, it was stolen by its designated test driver, Shinji Nakagawa whom he entrusted it to his friend Shogo Yahagi, before his apparent death by the military. Fueled for vengeance, Shogo uncovered the true nature of the world and decided to fight the military. When the military initiated a coup to take control of Megazone 23, Shogo entered the ship's core to destroy Bahamut and reveal the truth to the public. However, Shogo lost a duel to Hargan pilot BD and was injured as a result. Shogo was forced to abandon the damaged Garland, which was later repaired by the military and re-designated as the GR-00X Prototype Garland.
