The X-ATH-02 Strike Dog was one of several experimental armored troopers developed by the Secret Society for use by Perfect Soldiers. The Strike Dog featured an advanced new operating system that directly interfaced with the pilot’s brain. The high performance Strike Dog was equipped with standard armaments, but it also featured a powerful iron strike claw and machine gun, which were improved versions of the Gatling claw used by the ATM-09-GC Brutishdog. In addition, the Strike Dog could carry a solid shooter bazooka. The Strike Dog entered service in the last battle of the Kummen jungle war on planet Melkia in Astragius Year 7214. It remained Ypsilon’s personal unit until he was defeated by Chirico Cuvie in their final duel on planet Sunsa. An improved version, the X-ATH-02-DT Rabidly Dog, was later built specifically for Chirico.
