Bamides

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.

Design and Specifications
The Bamides' design is highly unconventional as far as Knightmare Frames go: it has no limbs to speak of, save for three tripod-like legs and an elevated "shoulder" area. Its legs are equipped with hover engines or Sand Panels instead of Landspinners, which grant improved traction over the desert sands. 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 the large size and lack of maneuverability make it an easy target.

Despite their shortcomings, the Bamides still have superiority in long range combat and can destroy a Britannian tank with one shot due their greater firepower. It is also heavily armoured, capable of surviving direct hits from the aforesaid tanks. Nevertheless, its focus on long range combat means that it has no weapons to engage in close combat with other than its Machine guns. The long stretches of sand in the Arabian desert is where the Bamides is most deadly, as it can pick off enemies from long range.

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.
