produced by the lambda driver. The colossal AS “Behemoth” is
piloted by Takuma Kugayama. This gigantic AS is nearly 40 meters in
height, and if the Lambda Drivers are not activated upon startup,
this massive AS would collapse under its own weight. In spite of
its large size, the Behemoth moves rather quickly. Its main weapons
include a huge sword suitable for its body size, and a cluster of
30mm cannons mounted in the head. There is not a lot of tactical
data available about the Behemoth, and thus most of its secrets
remain unknown.
