APS suits

:Not to be confused with the set.
The APS suits are mechs used by Nya, Maya, and Lloyd.
==History==
===Prior to Seabound===
P.I.X.A.L. intended to build an APS suit for each ninja, but because she ran out of time, she was only able to create two. She kept them in the Hydro Bounty for future use.
===Five Thousand Fathoms Down===
After the Hydro Bounty got damaged, P.I.X.A.L. showed the ninja and Maya the APS suits and mentioned they were supposed to be one for each person, but there was not enough time to build. Maya and Nya begin piloting them and began traveling through the ocean. They found a temple and entered, finding Kalmaar attempting to awaken Wojira. However, they were caught and tried to escape using the APS suits, but they were powered down by Kalmaar.
===The Wrath of Kalmaar===
Glutinous was observing the APS suits until he was interrupted by Nya and Maya, who regained possession of the mechs to escape from the Temple of Wojira.
===Long Live the King===
Nya and Maya used the APS suits to escape from the Ripper Sharks and Maya encouraged Nya to use her powers against them with her mech. However, during the battle with the Ripper Sharks, Nya's APS suit short-circuited and wasn't able to function.
===Escape from Merlopia===
While fighting the Merlopians, Lloyd climbed into one of the available APS suits to fight the Maaray Guards. While throwing around the guards, Lloyd was shot by Kalmaar, but was able to escape along with the Hydro Bounty. 
===The Calm Before the Storm===
While Lloyd was fixing on one of the APS suits, he puts out a fire by using a fire extinguisher.
===Assault on Ninjago City===
Lloyd used the APS suit to save a couple of children who were drowning. He was attacked by some Maaray Guards, but Kai, Zane, and Benthomaar distracted them while he saved the children. Later, he used the suit to attempt an attack Wojira, but was defeated by the Fury of the Storm.
===Nyad===
Lloyd, along with Kai and Zane in their mini submarines, retreat. They hid their vehicles near the Ninjago News Center.
===Farewell the Sea===
Lloyd used an APS suit to meet up with Kai, Zane, Cole, and Jay on Lighthouse Island.

==Trivia==
*In the sets, this type of vehicle is known as a "Hydro Mech," and Lloyd pilots it despite other characters using them it the show. This is the second time a vehicle from a 2021 installment is portrayed as Lloyd's in the set but other characters' in the show, the first being the Jungle Choppers from The Island.
**However, towards the end of Seabound, Lloyd is the only one to use an APS suit.
*It is unknown what "APS" stands for. There is a Russian assault rifle known as the APS, which translated in to English means "underwater assault rifle".
*In Issues 81 and 82 of the Ninjago Magazine, there are blue and white APS suits that Jay and Zane pilot.
