Kushini Island Mecha

Kushini Island Mecha were the mecha from the Astragius Galaxy that appeared in the 1987 anime movie *Demon of Steel: Battle of The Great Demon Beasts*.

## Demons of Steel

The Demons of Steel (鋼の鬼) were a pair of giant biomechanical monsters from another dimension. Three years before the events of the series the Dimensional Transfer Cannon (次元転移砲) was fired near the coast of Kushini Island, resulting in Hagane appearing at the ocean floor. During the events of the movie another Demon of Steel named Doki would emerge from the research center's cyclotron with the intent on fighting Hagane. Both giant cyborgs were believed to only be interested in destruction. In terms of capabilities both of them were capable of swimming and could fuse with a human host to take on a more humanoid appearance.

* **Hagane** (鋼): Piloted by Takuya Kruz, this red Demon of Steel was armed with a bony whip from each shoulder, back boosters, and wrist claws. Notably before fusing with Takuya it resembled a rock.
* **Doki** (怒鬼): Piloted by Haruka, this white Demon of Steel was armed with a magnetic field, head electric bolts from body, could absorb and redirect Malhuder particle beams, and emit a gravity field. Notably he changed into a more humanoid form while fighting Hagane.

## Sansarah Research Center

* **Dimensional Transfer Cannon**: A weapon satellite that could fire an orange laser beam composed of Malhuder particles. These particles accidentally opened another dimension that allowed the Demons of Steel to come to Earth.
* **Galun's Battleship**: A small battleship used by Galun Hayetz to observe the Dimensional Transfer Cannon's effects on the ocean and ordered the minisub to retrieve a sample of Hagane when it appeared. Two more of these of the same model were destroyed during Doki's rampage.
* **Excavation Minisub**: A white submarine piloted by Haruka and Takuya when the Dimensional Transfer Cannon hit the ocean and later had to retrieve a sample of Hagane when it appeared. It possessed twin searchlights and a red laser in both manipulator claws.
