Mistral II

Mistral II is an Arm Slave, a fictional mecha from the light novel, manga, and anime series Full Metal Panic!.

Overview

One of the many 2nd generation Arm Slaves in use, this is made in France by Zito for use in the French military. It has been known to be exported to the fictional Republic of Balic, as seen in Full Metal Panic!: The Second Raid.

Its appearance does not take a humanoid-like shape, making it as the only known Arm Slaves to have a form consisting of two arms placed in front of the mech without a "face". It can also be operated as a mobile anti-armor post . To do that, the Mistral II would have to be on the ground on its arms and legs . Another way would be for the Mistral II to sit on the ground, knees in front.

Variants

There are no currently known variants of the Mistral II.

In Full Metal Panic!

Mostly seen in the Ending Day by Day, in use by the Balic military as most of their weapons and equipment have been supplied by Amalgam via French arms manufacturers such as GIAT when they engaged in a civil war against guerillas and were known to be involved in an attempt to perform ethnic cleansing on Balic's refugee populations. Mithril's M9 and Sousuke's Arbalest defeated these Arm Slaves, making them a less of a threat against the anti-[...] organization.

Amalgam's Arm Slaves, such as Yu Fan's Zy-98 Shadow, made short work of a Balic Army Mistral II by jumping on it and stabbing it with a monomolecular cutter knife before it could defend itself, indicating that the latter is sluggish and slow as to most 2nd generation Arm Slaves.
