The Bamides is a fourth generation Knightmare Frame mass-produced by the Middle Eastern Federation. It is equipped with hover engines instead of Landspinners, allowing for improved traction over the desert sands. Its main weapons include two packs of missile launchers on the shoulders that carry up to six missiles, two side-mounted machine guns, and a long-range cannon mounted directly below the head. Their design is highly unconventional as far as Knightmare Frames go; they have no limbs to speak of, save for three tripod-like legs that contain its hover engines, and an elevated "shoulder" area. It is also much larger than a Sutherland or Gloucester, requiring a large crew to operate it. Its configuration gives it fairly good speed compared to more traditional Knightmares, but its size and lack of maneuverability make it a large, easy target. Despite their shortcoming the Bamides seems to have Superiority over in long range and have greater firepower as seen in the fifth opening when the Bamides need only "one shot" to destroy a Britannian Tank but their slow and and lumbering body became their own undoing, the Bamides main priority seems to be for long range only as they're only mean of fighting in close combat is using it's Machine guns, in the long stretch sand of the Arabian desert the Bamides is at it's most deadly as it can pick up enemy from long range but when they met the fast moving Gloucester they have finally met it match.

Bamides units first appeared in the fifth episode, where they fought and nearly defeated a division of Britannians. They were destroyed in short order by a group of Gloucesters, lead by Princess Cornelia, who went on to destroy the base that they were defending.
