This mech list is designed for the mech-lovers, featuring details on the mechs, their weapons, and special capabilities. For people who'd love to adapt Gozens into their favorite game or media, this is your source.
Gozen Models in Active Service
Gozens all resemble humans, with exact human proportions. They even have genders (which must match the gender of the pilot). This is doe to the technology that drives them - namely, a system that directly connects to the pilot's brain, tapping into their sense of balance and instinctive reactions to danger.
Gozens are also classified into five categories. Rook-class Gozens are heavy assault mechs designed for close combat. Bishop-class Gozens are long-range mechs with heavy firepower, while the highly maneuverable Knight-class Gozens fill a scouting role. Larger than the other Gozen classes, Queen-class Gozens carry heavy weapons and firepower, but they also use electronic systems to control the battlefield. Pawn-class Gozens are designed to be flexible, complementing their partner's role.
This list only includes Gozens with sufficient information. I have not finished designing the specifications of every mech (including those listed). More will be added in the future.

The magfield lock holds two additional main guns in place on the Lancelot's back. Coupled with its ability to swap main guns in the middle of a fight, this gives the Lancelot increased battlefield flexibility. The Chaffer produces a cloud of particles which obscures electronic detection. Its opti-reactive coat samples the nearby environment, then creates an active camouflage pattern.

Weaponry
Autocannon
a cross between a minigun or machine gun with a heavy cannon. Essentially a huge machine gun, firing large shells at a high rate. Medium range, accuracy medium
Cluster Rockets
rockets that split into many smaller rockets, yielding clustered explosions. Good damage, but low penetration.
Gamma Laser
High-powered laser. The actual beam is invisible, with a high-frequency wavelength; the visible beam-glow is due to air molecules being excited and ionized. Accurate, but can be delicate
Giga Discharger
Shoots concentrated electron beams. In addition to damaging a target, it can short out electronics. Short range
Grav Cannon
Fires graviton beam, concentrating gravity in a small area, crushing target. Experimental. The stream of gravitons creates a trailing air-wake that slams into target for additional effectiveness.
Hevor Gun
Uses same technology as impellor fists and hover-field tech. Basically pressors that push target with energy. Hevor guns slam the target with both an energy pulse and a kinetic punch.
Heavy Rockets
Single-shot heavy rockets designed to carry specialized payloads. Five different heavy rockets hVW mentioned in Dance of the Gozen; the Lancelot carries eight at a time. Each are single-shot rockets doing heavy damage, combining it with a specialized payload:
Buster: High explosive, with a lot of shrapnel
Dazzler: Flare pulse
Puncher: High-impact, using same technology as hevor guns
Scrambler: Messes up electronics
Torcher: incendiary, raises temperature in target quickly
Impellor Fists
A distinct weapon of the Alamut, impellor fists generate a pulse of pressor energy just before impact. This gives the target additional thrust, knocking them backward.
Railgun
Fires shots accurately at high speed using electromagnetic force to launch high velocity projectiles. Essentially a super-rifle. Effective at long range, not good up close
Zeta Pulser
Small weapon that shoots rapid high-energy pulses. Not particularly effective against mechs but chews up infantry. Very short range
Other Mechs
Armadillo
A rugged second-generation mech designed for strip-mining.
Borland
A prototype construction mech using Gozen technology. Under development at the Katsuno Research Center.
Bulldog
A sturdy second-generation mech used for heavy construction projects.
Devil
An older second-generation military mech with a walker-pod configuration.
Dutchman
A squat semi-humanoid mech that does not use Gozen technology. The second-generation mech has four arms, each ending in a different tool. One arm wields a massive drill, one ends in a stub that carries boring explosives, one has a powerful excavator scoop, and the last hand is humanoid, used for more delicate work.
Hornet
An older second-generation military mech built before Gozen technology, shaped like a four-legged crab. Most remaining Hornets have been stripped of military gear and sold to private companies or wealthy individuals as utility mechs.
Iara
A prototype amphibious Gozen. When underwater, its legs lock together and extend fins from their sides, allowing it to swim with a motion similar to that of a dolphin. Requires the pilot to be a proficient swimmer.
Jophiel
A prototype female Gozen integrating lift-field technology to allow it to fly. The lift-generators resemble wings, giving it an angelic appearance.
Laika
A prototype Gozen in the shape of a canine connected to an actual dog, who pilots it under the guidance of a human handler. Experimental, designed for rescue operations.
Meerkat
A second-generation excavator mech with a treaded base and a humanoid upper body. One arm ends in a spiked rake used to break up thick soil, while the other ends in a scoop. It also carries a bulldozer blade on its front.
Tomoe
The first Gozen model, a female mech with light weaponry. No longer in use, but remembered fondly.
Yeti
A second-generation road-repair mech common in mountainous areas. It has a large roller and tanks for repairing cracks in road surface.
