Iron Leaguers

Iron Leaguers were the mecha that appeared in the 1993 anime series *Whirlwind! Iron Leaguer* and its OVA sequel *Under The Banner of Silver*.

## Overview

Iron Leaguers (アイアンリーガー), often simply Leaguers for short, are human sized robots that were constructed with a highly advanced artificial intelligence and built with super deformed proportions. While used for military use most are used for sports competitions. Those built for sports are frequently transferred to different teams after expiration of contracts with their teams. Depending on the sports they were built for the Iron Leaguer will be given characteristics of an athlete of that sport. All Iron Leaguers are installed with a Shock Circuit (ショックサーキット) which induces pain as a form of punishment.
