Evoluders

Evoluders are the biomechanical mecha that appeared in the 1991 anime series *Detonator Orgun*. They were based on unused concept art from the anime series *Tekkaman Blade*.

## Origins

Two hundred years before the start of the series a space expedition was carried out called the Signalite Project to investigate an anomaly in the Cygnus System. The intense gravity of the anomaly was thought to have killed everyone on the expedition, but instead their bodies evolved over millennia thanks to time dilation. This, allowed the survivors to evolve into the Evoluders, a warrior race that set upon conquering the galaxy with only the strongest surviving. The Evoluders take commands from the rarely seen Meek comparatively similar to ants or bees take commands from a queen.

## Capabilities

All Evoluders are composed of Ovarium 808, an exceptionally tough metal that makes standard weaponry useless and allows them to survive in any environment including black holes. This doubles allowing them to be very strong and jump high into the air. For long distance travel Evoluders can fly at speeds surpassing the speed of light to travel planet to planet. If needed they can synchronize their brainwaves with their human descendants, allowing them to contact each other via their dreams and fuse with the at an atomic level. While their powers vary between individuals, all known Evoluders can fire energy needles from their wrists.

## Known Evoluders

* **Orgun**: Voiced by Koichi Yamadera. Unique powers include turning himself into a cross to redirect solar radiation called the Grand Cruciform strong enough to nullify antimatter, self destructing, a sword in each wrist, body energy blasts, a forehead beam strong enough to destroy multiple city blocks, and a double sided spear.
* **Eyd**: Basic soldiers of the Evoluder. Unique powers include having a radar inside of their eyes, a beam cannon their mouth, head beams from all over their body, and can shed their armor. Upon shedding their armor they can levitate and have a pair of claws on each wrist.

## Support Units

* **Anti Matter Cannon**: A giant space cannon that fires anti matter capable of destroying fleets from multiple astronomical units away. Like the Evoluders it is composed of Ovarium 808. It doubles as a massive carrier for the Evoluders when traveling between solar systems as it is composed of their home world of Zohma.
* **Birdman Spitfire**: One of two transformable robots used by the Earth Defense Force, this one capable of transforming into a tank and is armed with a pair of cannons on each arm.
* **Birdman Hurricane**: One of two transformable robots used by the Earth Defense Force, this one capable of transforming into a jet and is armed with a 4-tube missile pod and a gatling on on the left arm.
* **Solid Armor**: Mass produced imitation Evoluder suits created by the Earth Defense Force to fight the Evoluders. The armor is sixty nine percent the durability of regular Ovarium 808. In terms of weapons the are armed with an energy cannon on the right wrist and a sword in the left wrist.
