The Gilgamesh Confederation’s ATM-09-ST Scopedog proved to be a versatile design, and many variants were produced throughout the course of the Hundred Years War. One such variant was the ATM-09-ST Scopedog Ganard Custom. After the war, former Plan Bang Doll Battalion member Ganard used his custom unit to lead a group of bandits. Ganard’s unit was customized with impact bars on the head, torso and legs. Armaments included three shoulder mounted mortars, as well as a standard heavy machine gun/grenade launcher. During a desert raid on a train, Ganard became the sixth target in Merowlink Ality’s quest for revenge on the men involved with the Planbandol Scandal.
