The Octos was a variable amphibious destroid designed by the Daimler Hyperspace Corporation and Rubin Central Science Bureau for Marine Engineering and used by the Anti-U.N. during and after the Unification Wars. The Octos could transform between a wheeled ground combat mode and a submarine mode for underwater combat. The Octos’ armaments included a rapid-fire cannon, a dual beam machine gun, an anti-personnel machine gun and several torpedo and missile launchers. In 2008, the Anti-U.N. used an Octos during the Bird Human Incident on the Mayan island in the South Pacific. Additional units were produced by U.N. Spacy, but the Octos production line was destroyed during Space War I.
