Manufactured by Shinohara Heavy Industries, the ASV-99 Boxer was a civilian construction labor. The Boxer was designed with a large canopy-style cockpit that gave its pilot a large field of view. Its head was equipped with a pair of spotlights to allow for nighttime work. The Boxer could be equipped to work in shallow depths of water. The Boxer’s variety of equipment options allowed it to perform the most human-like movement of any labor. Due to its high visibility in construction projects, the Boxer was frequently used in labor crime. In 1999, many Boxer units were upgraded with Shinohara’s new hyper operating system. When the Tokyo police’s SV2 labor unit deployed to the Ark factory to thwart a plan to cause all the city’s labors to go berserk, many Boxer units activated on their own and attacked the police.
