Product Introduction
[Unit Description]
The Abyss Crawler is a third-generation Hexa Gear developed by the Liberty Alliance.
It was developed for the purpose of exploring and conquering confined terrain such as culverts. Unlike other third-generation units, it possesses two Zoatex modes, with Zoatex active at all times.
At the start of the war, urban centers across the country were subjected to surprise attacks by unmanned Hexa Gear known as Hidestorms. Subsequent investigations revealed the existence of numerous other large, ancient underground pipes and facilities that had been used as infiltration routes during the attacks. The Liberty Alliance urgently sought to uncover the full extent of these structures. As a result, almost all geographical information about the underground structure beyond a rough outline was lost, and the area had already become hostile territory roamed by MSG Valiant Force Hexa Gear and droids.
Hidestorms, particularly VIC Blades, excel in electronic warfare and pose a particular threat. By exposing communication lines, repeaters, and power lines connecting cities, they threaten the Liberty Alliance's cooperation from underground. The Liberty Alliance recognized the need to clear this contaminated underground space and quickly assembled a dedicated unit and Hexa Gear.
The development involved salvaging the remains of destroyed Hidestorms and redesigning their frame structure. However, VIC Blades have no idea how to replicate, control, or neutralize the phenomenon, so they remain a second-best countermeasure. This is the Invasion Counter Shield, commonly known as "ICS," equipped on their left arm. Due to a chronic parts shortage, only a small number were initially produced, and they were organized into squads and sent into the darkness underground. The underground space was home to countless heavily contaminated areas (Level 6 "Abyss") caused by the operation of crystalline reactors, far exceeding the contaminated areas on the surface. The Abyss Crawler crawled through sludge and rubble, sometimes engaging Hidestorms and sometimes small droids, fighting battles unnoticed.
