The JMS-09-ST Scopedog is a robot of Armored Trooper VOTOMS and is a mass-produced Junior Mobile Suit featured in Knights of the Multiverse Season 2. Based partially off of the Zaku II, it was created by Axis Zeon to go into places that normal Mobile Suits couldn't reach and get more up-close and personal with the opponents they face during their quest across the Multiverse. Several of these units would end up being captured by the Crystal Knights and used by their own pilots to infiltrate Zeon bases or battle other JMS's more upclose and personal.

Weapons & Equipment[]
Unlike the normal-sized Mobile Suits, the Scopedogs and all its variants are able to be customized to their pilots' preferences and swap between several types of firearms:
- Gliding Foils
The Scopedog is highly maneuverable thanks to gliding foils installed in the feet that allow it to roll across the ground.
- Roundmover Pack
The Roundmover pack is a jetpack with four movable thrusters that provides the Scopedog with high mobility in both the air and in space.
- 9-tube Shoulder Missile Gun Pod
- Heavy Machine Gun w/ Grenade Launcher
- 60mm Solid Shooter Bazooka
- Long Gun
- Arm Punch
The Scopedog is able to perform a close-combat attack that has its right forearm cocking forward like a rifle and is strong enough to bust through stone.

Notes[]
While this might be one of the more controversial inclusions in KotM, the Scopedogs have been included to give the Knights a human-sized (well, sort of, since they're all mostly 3.8 meters/12.48 feet in size), though rest assured, they will not take the spotlight away from the other, larger Mobile Suits. Plus, it sort of works in canon since A.) the Scopedogs bare a striking resemblance to the Zaku II, and B.) the Universal Century already has mobile suits somewhat similar to the Dogs, such as the Junior Mobile Suit (from which these units get their designations, "JMS"), the Zuck (which is actually referred to as a Petite Mobile Suit, but "Junior" felt like a more fitting word).
Some of the Knights using several Scopedogs is mostly so the series can have some of the intense, hard-hitting AT battles of the original VOTOMS series.
Somewhat fitting with how it was used in its home series, the Scopedog might be the most used Mecha in the series with it being used by three factions.
