Panzer Hummel

The Panzer-Hummel (パンツァーフンメル, Pantsuāfunmeru) is a mass-production model Knightmare Frame used by the member nations of the Europia United, first introduced in the second season. "Panzer-Hummel" is German and means "armor[ed] bumblebee" or "tank bumblebee", depending on the translation of the word "Panzer", which may mean either.

Design and Specifications
The Panzer-Hummel possesses two auto-cannons mounted on its arms in the place of hands, two machine cannons attached to its hips, six missile launchers divided into two cells, and two Slash Harkens mounted on the hips. They are more mobile than Sutherlands, and are most likely incapable of hand-to-hand combat, due to their lack of proper limbs.

While most Knightmare Frames from Britannia are mostly balanced between close-range and long-range combat, the Europia United designed a Knightmare Frame focused solely for long range battle. Even so, they have exceptional defensive capacities, having held the El Alamein line during the war between the E.U. and Britannia.

Operational History
This unit made its first appearance in the third episode of the second season, where a large division of Panzer-Hummels almost decimated Britannian Forces (consisting mainly of Sutherlands and Gloucesters) to prevent an amphibious landing in continental Europe, until Suzaku and his Lancelot appeared and destroyed them all. When the U.F.N. was formed in United Federation of Nations Resolution Number One (episode), several E.U. nations joined the organization, adding their Panzer-Hummels to The Black Knights' forces against Britannia. One is also seen among Li Xingke's forces during the initial assault on the Kagoshima Settlement.

In Code Geass: Lelouch of the Re;surrection, some are seen among the forces who have kidnapped Zero (Suzaku) and Nunnally at the beginning of the movie.
