The Battle Skippers

The Battle Skippers are tank like robots each with an AIES expert system connected to enhance the pilot's movement.

The Battle Skippers piloted by the Exters are Uruyasu while those piloted by the Debutante Club are Makuhari. Saori's Battle Skipper has a Kansai accent while Rie's has more of an Osaka dialect ("country" dialect in the dub).
