Geo Frames

Geo Frames, also called Grongles, were the mecha that appeared in the 2016 anime series *Kuromukuro*.

## Efdorg

Geo Frames from the Efdorg were a series of humanoid robots created by an alien invader enclave known as the Efdorg. Each one is constructed entirely out of nanomachines that can fully repair the mech just by absorbing any solid matter it comes into physical contact with when not in combat and connect to the spinal column of a pilot to prevent hijacking. However, these nanomachines could be nullified in regenerative properties if exposed to sonic weaponry such as super vibrational melee weapons.

### Manned

* **Kuromukuro**: **Height**: 21.9 Meters. **Weight**: 300 Tons. Referred to as Bragma by the Efdorg. It was armed with a pair of super vibrational katanas stored on the back that could combine to form a super vibrational spear and a gravity shield. If needed if could conceal itself in a black cube in a state of suspended animation. Renamed to Black Relic in the English dub.
	+ **Prototype Grongle**: **Height**: 21.9 Meters. **Weight**: 300 Tons. Mass produced versions of Kuromukuro that were used by the Efdorg four hundred fifty years before the events of the series on Zell's home world. Their only known power is a pair of super vibrational katanas.
* **Yellow Crab**: **Height**: 19.6 Meters. Referred to as Gigi by the Efdorg. The first manned Geo Frame sent to invade Earth. It was armed with a pair of super vibrational swords stored on the back of the waist, a gravity shield, and an extendable blade on each shoulder. Notably a blue extendable arm replaced the blade on the left shoulder after it was destroyed by Kuromukuro.
* **Long Arm**: **Height**: 27 Meters. Referred to as Naion by the Efdorg. The second manned Geo Frame sent to invade Earth. It was armed with six small super vibrational swords, a large super vibrational sword, a gravity shield, and a second pair of arms that also acted as legs for enhanced agility.
* **Spider**: **Height**: 23 Meters. Referred to as Mue by the Efdorg. The third manned Geo Frame sent to invade Earth. It was armed with a super vibrational naginata stored on the back, a vibrational short sword stored on the left hip, a gravity field, camouflage, a second pair of legs that can be used in a centaur mode, and a blade hidden in each of its four legs.
* **Medousa**: **Height**: 20 Meters. Referred to as Manata by the Efdorg. The fourth manned Geo Frame sent to invade Earth. It was armed with a super vibrational blade in each arm, a gravity shield, and eight standard spears consisting of two on each hip and four on the head. Also translated as Medusa.
* **Bluebird**: **Height**: 35 Meters. **Wingspan**: 84 Meters. Referred to as Hazuma by the Efdorg. The fifth manned Geo Frame sent to invade Earth. It was armed with a gravity shield, super high density needles fired from the arms and shoulders, and a 40 meter long retractable super vibrational lance on the back. Noted for being the only Geo Frame capable of flight.
* **Rock Head**: **Height**: 23.8 Meters. **Width**: 14.8 Meters. Referred to as Zuda by the Efdorg. The sixth manned Geo Frame sent to invade Earth. It was armed with a gravity shield and a super vibrational pile-like spear on each arm. Also translated as Lockhead.
* **Ogre**: **Height**: 48 Meters. **Wingspan**: 170 Meters. Referred to as Zanki by the Efdorg. The final manned Geo Frame sent to invade Earth. It was armed with a gravity shield and each armed being composed of four flexible super vibrational swords.

### Unmanned

* **Cactus**: **Height**: 3.8 Meters. Referred to as Kugutsu by the Efdorg. Thorny unmanned mass produced Geo Frames that act as the main infantry of the Efdorg. They were armed with a super vibrational blade on each arm and could use their nanomachines to mind control enemies.
	+ **Liddy**: A heavily damaged and unarmed Cactus that was used by Zell after he crashed to Earth four hundred fifty years before the events of the series. Also translated as Ridy.
* **Headless**: **Height**: 19.6 Meters. Referred to as Gouma by the Efdorg. Large unmanned Geo Frames that assisted the Cacti. They were armed with a super vibrational katana stored on each shoulder and a gravity shield.

## United Nations Kurobe Research Institute

Geo Frames from the United Nations Kurobe Research Institute were a series of prototype humanoid robots that resided in Kurobe Dam based on data from the Kuroukuro while it was in its black cube state.

* **GAUS (Gravity Attenuated Upright Shell)**: **Height**: 19.4 Meters. Three high performance mechs seen throughout the series based on Kuromukuro used by pilots of the Kurobe Research Institute. They were armed with a 120mm gatling gun on the right arm, a revolver knife, a heat spear, and a shield on the left shoulder. The first two units would be upgraded to the GAUS Kais in episode 15, allowing for AI support systems an increased increased armor.
	+ **Unit 01:** Colored green.
	+ **Unit 02**: Colored orange.
	+ **Unit 03:** Colored blue and was given a super vibrational sword recovered from the remains of Long Arm.
* **MM3A Dwarf**: **Height**: 3.7 Meters. Mass produced Geo Frames created in the United States later sent to Kurobe Dam. They were armed with a transparent riot shield covering the head a torso, an anti-tank missile launcher on the right arm, and a 12.7mm machine gun on the left arm. In terms of color schemes the United Nations used white, the US Marine Corps used green, and the Japanese Self Defense Force used brown.

## Miscellaneous

* **GAUS Transport Trailer**: A large blue trailer carried by two semi-trucks designed to carry the GAUS units into battle and later Kuromukuro as well. Noted for having a maximum load capacity of 450 tons.
* **Geoexpress**: A white and orange bullet train designed to transport the GAUS units from Kurobe Dam to other regions long distances.
* **Efdorg Mothership**: A space fortress used by the Efdorg's Gezon Reko Squad throughout the events of the series as their base in Earth's orbit. It was armed with a tractor beam underside bombs.
* **Crow**: A black bird-like Geo Frame used by Zell before arriving on Earth four hundred fifty years before the events of the series. Like the Geo Fronts of the Efdorg it could use the same nanomachines, a gravity field, and a cross-like super vibrational spear.
* **Research Spaceship Kurobe**: A space transport used to transport Geo Fronts from Earth to Sagittarius to liberate Zell's home world from the Efdorg in the epilogue.
