Giant Lola

The Giant Lola is a powerful, mass-produced tank developed by the Sumeragi Institute and a boss in Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX. This gigantic tank uses the same EX Weapon technology as Lola, and even copies her appearance to a certain degree.
Demerzel personally designed the tank, and its resemblance to Lola is intended to be a psychological attack against Minos who view her as a source of hope.Luminous Avenger iX Soundtrack booklet
== Appearance ==
The Giant Lola is essentially a supersized Mantis with treads and the head along with half the torso swapped out for a gigantic version of Lola's Battle Pod form, plus some thrusters on the back. Flaps on the sides and top of the head flip open to reveal conduits to manifest EX Weapons. Should the unit be damaged enough to activate Darkness Trigger, its faceplate breaks to reveal four glowing red eyes and a "mouth".
As it switches between EX Weapons, the Giant Lola will call them out in a monotone facsimile of Lola's voice as the gem on the pod's forehead changes to the corresponding color. This gem is also the machine's weak point, though no in-universe explanation is given for this design flaw.

== History ==
===Gunvolt Chronicles: Luminous Avenger iX===
====City Slums 2====
After Copen has discovered the location of the Butterfly Effect in Sumeragi Building 13, Demerzel deploys countless Giant Lola's across the world, announcing that he will move to wipe out all remaining Minos.
Copen, hearing the commotion, rushes outside, just as one unit falls right outside his hideout. Forced to engage it in battle, he damages it severely, but is caught in the strings of Anchor Nexus. However, Lola smashes into its gem at the last second, destroying it.
What became of the rest of the Giant Lolas after Demerzel was destroyed and Blade seized control of Sumeragi is unknown.
== Other Appearances ==
=== Blaster Master Zero 2 ===
A Giant Lola, referred to as G-Lola, appears alongside Copen as DLC for the Inti Creates game Blaster Master Zero 2. It acts as Copen's vehicle, equivalent to the Metal Attacker interstellar tanks used by the game's protagonist Jason and other pilots. Due to Copen being so powerful on foot, there's not much reason to use it however.
Unlike the tanks of Jason and other DLC character Empress from Dragon Marked for Death, the G-Lola is lost and presumably destroyed during the destruction of Planade-G, forcing Copen to continue through the final stage Area Omega entirely on foot.

== Abilities ==
The Giant Lola can imitate many Septimal powers just like Copen's technology can, but Sumeragi's technology was unable to make it any smaller than it is. In battle, the Giant Lola uses all of the same EX Weapons that Copen and Lola acquired from Sumeragi Adepts over the course of the game. However, it does not use Anchor Nexus during its actual boss fight; rather, it activates the ability in a cutscene after the fight as a final attempt to stop Copen, ensnaring him and forcing Lola to deliver the final blow to her facsimile.
===Boss Battle Skills===
Skill 	Description
Orbital Edge(オービタルエッジ) 	The Giant Lola retreats to the far right before launching a giant circular blade towards the bottom-left corner. The blade grinds along the ground as it returns.
The EX Boss version (accessible through VS Mission) launches Orbital Edge faster.
Photon Detonator(ルミナリーマイン, Luminary Mine) 	The Giant Lola moves forward charging a conduit. The conduit fires a spark that creates a large explosion, leaving little safe room on the ground.
Muse's Kiss(キスオブディーヴァ, Kiss of Diva) 	The Giant Lola moves to about the center of the screen, and fires a giant Lola-shaped projectile that bounces along the ground.
The EX Boss version (accessible through VS Mission) launches two orbs instead of one.
Shroud Spear(クロスランサー, Cloth Lancer) 	The Giant Lola moves to about the center of the screen, then fires a three-way spread of cloth spears, with one of them flying diagonally downwards to bounce off the ground. If the attack connects, it will be instantly followed up with Orbital Edge.
Rising Cyclone(ドラフトスパイラル, Draft Spiral) 	The Giant Lola retreats before marking an area with two small tornadoes that rapidly expand.
Darkness Trigger(ダークネストリガ) 	Triggered when the Giant Lola is on its final health bar. Causes the unit to go berserk, rapidly shifting forwards and backwards as it continuously fires dark purple energy projectiles.

Sound director Ryo Kawakami's track notes:
*Giant Murderball
The battle track of the Giant Lola. While it’s a fearful weapon made to exterminate the Minos, on the other hand it has a bit of a comical shape since it’s copying Lola; I wanted to show that gap through music; so I asked Takumi Sato-san, the maker, to give it a “round” feeling as well as a heavy feeling. When it was done, we added a lot of special effects such as a wave being broken. Full of decorations and a fishy over the top feeling; that’s what I think the end result is.
== Trivia ==
*The Giant Lola was designed with the concept of "looks dumb and funny at first glance, but is also a scary weapon". Rather than a tank, it is more of a weird character.GunvoltOfficial tweet
*The Giant Lola is the only boss to show visible damage as its HP decreases.
*Stellar Spark is the only EX Weapon that the player can use in Luminous Avenger iX that the Giant Lola does not use.
*The EX version of Giant Lola is one of two bosses in the base Luminous Avenger iX game that can only be accessed through VS Missions, the other being EX Butterfly Effect. The DLC mission where EX Blade is fought is also technically a VS Mission. 
*It’s unknown how effective the psychological attack on the Mino population is, as not many people know about Lola’s true form and Kohaku and her friends only learned of it recently.
