Fortress Mikelos
The Multipurpose Fortress Mikelos (Ban-nou Yousai Michelos 万能要塞 ミケロス) was the first fortress that appeared in the Great Mazinger series. It had the shape of a flying saucer with four faces on the edges from where the Warrior Beasts were released into battle. The necks of these heads were extensible and could fire projectiles from the sides. Like all its predecessors, it featured several more weapons. Mikelos was eventually destroyed by Great Mazinger in chapter 39 and succeeded by Demonika.

Famous quotes containing the word fortress:
“He began therefore to invest the fortress of my heart by a circumvallation of distant bows and respectful looks; he then entrenched his forces in the deep caution of never uttering an unguarded word or syllable. His designs being yet covered, he played off from several quarters a large battery of compliments. But here he found a repulse from the enemy by an absolute rejection of such fulsome praise, and this forced him back again close into his former trenches.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
