One of the most notable features of the Melkian Federation’s ATM-09-ST Scopedog was its customizability, which allowed for many variant units. One such variation was the ATM-09-LC Light Scopedog, created by Chirico Cuvie and Bouleuse Gotho. Designed for a Battling match against the Balarant B-ATH-XX Ecrevisse “Danger Melon”, Chirico stripped down the Scopedog’s armor and replaced its left arm to increase its speed and maneuverability. Featuring Chirico’s distinct Red Shoulder mark, the Light Scopedog lost an arm punch and was slightly more vulnerable to attack, but the increase in speed was necessary to fight the Balarant’s experimental Perfect Soldier, Radaa Niva.
