The L.O.S.R. Armored Battalion is a group of characters from Choujinki Metalder that are featured in Knights of the Multiverse Season 1. They are a group of six Battle-Type Droids created by the L.O.S.R. organization that are essentially walking weapons arsenals, created for the sole purpose of destroying the organization's enemies. They recieved their designation not only for their heavy use of armed firearms, but also for their incredibly durable armor, with their bodies being made to handle nearly anything
Personalities[]
All six members of the Armored Battalion possess their own unique A.I. Electronic Brains, allowing them to think and act for themselves. However, they all generally act like the same bull-headed jerk as one-another, taking a great joy over the thrill of battle and taunting their enemies.
Bulchek in particular, after having his turret head torn off, expressed a slight hint of empathy to the Knights, saying he would have been done in without his spare; though of course, he still threatened to shoot his opponent pointblank.

Notes[]
Metalder's Mechanical Army, or "Armored Battalion" as they're called here (since they're only made up of the most recurring members of that group in their depiction here), is one of the few Tokusatsu grunts to be included in this series, done so to have the Knights face off against some more heavily-armored robot opponents (in both senses of the word).
The group having thick armor is another KotM-original idea, come up with to add some tension to their fight with the Knights, and somewhat to make up for how they're virtually outnumbered by Usagi's group.
Bulchek's "spare head" in this series is meant to be somewhat of a spin on how in the original, he sort of used it as a helmet, able to remove it anytime he chose. Like the extra-thick armor, this is another element to keep him going in the fight.
