New Port City Mecha

New Port City Mecha are the various types of mechs that appeared in the 1988 anime series *Dominion Tank Police* and its 1993 sequel series *New Dominion Tank Police*.

## Background

Decades before the events of the series air pollution managed to cover the entirety of the Earth, forcing people to wear masks while outside. Government projects such as Greenpeace Crolis went underway to modify the human genome to adapt to the now poisonous air, resulting in artificial wombs, genetic splicing, and biochips to become possible. New Port City is notable for having a high crime rate and its architecture heavily resembles mushrooms. Due to the high crime rate most public funds are distributed to the heavily militarized police force, the Tank Police.
