auroran

A fictional mecha from the Choujikuu Kidan Southern Cross military science fiction anime series from the 80s.

The TASC-02-SCF "Auroran" is a variable aerospace combat mecha developed during the late part of the Glorie/Zor war that was constructed to replace the TASC-01-SCF Logan used by the TASC.

It has the capability to transform into three different modes: Crusader (fighter), Cross Fighter (heavy combat helicopter), and Cosmo Sniper (humanoid).

Though the new Cosmo Sniper mode was specifically designed to deal with the Zor Bioroid threat, the Auroran proves only moderately successful, since its debut coincides closely with the creation of an improved model of Bioroid.

The Auroran is TASC ace pilot Mary Angel's mecha of choice.
