With numerous ambitious technologies installed, a few units were actually produced and some were even placed in the battlefield.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of its design features is that it achieved high mobility and maneuverability despite being a biped. This was done by reducing weight at the cost of defense and incorporating assistance wheels to improve maneuverability. However, considering the outcome being that mobility was better achieved by wheels than walking, it can be said that this ultimately contributed to the demise of the second generation. Nonetheless, the system converter first introduced in this unit was later implemented as a standard feature of third-gen ZOATEX HEXA GEAR units, making it a significant achievement in the history of HEXA GEAR development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA new technology developed by BMI Glamsight called BMI, short for “brain-machine interface,” was also experimentally implemented. Although some issues remained, this technology allowed the unit to achieve high-precision manipulator (limb) control, which included freely handling equipment regardless of connection type, enabling more human-like movements. Standard weapons include a rifle and small built-in laser cutter, which are not exactly powerful weapons. However, HEXA GEAR units are not designed to be deployed alone. Like humans, the units' characteristics are greatly modified by external equipment and devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs an aside, the designer has declared himself to be a genuine fan of classical comic books, and the outer design of the HEXA GEAR greatly reflects this fact.

The unit involved in test operations often ridiculed it, calling it a \"\"waste of money and technology\"\" and \"\"hardly fit to be a weapon\"\" due in part to its classical comic book-like hobbyist appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, the model also boasted unprecedented mobility for a second-gen machine, brought about by the wheeled running gear that was not present in the original model. In addition, it had limbs that could freely handle a wide range of extended equipment called the brain-machine interface (BMI) that provided Governors with intuitive controls, and system conversion that could instantly switch the machine's drive system. While some features had much room for improvement, it was like the beginning of a new era for Governors who could master them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDubbed the \"\"Steel Giant,\"\" the model was sent into battle under the guise of an engineering test. Its heroic appearance and improved performance over the second-gen Hexa Gears of the time garnered much attention. This ultimately resulted in the creation of numerous replicas and imitations by Governors and investors wanting to develop humanoid heavy machinery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRedalert:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRedalert was a nickname given to one of the few surviving Bulkarm Glanz Hexa Gears customized to match its Governor's combat style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fiery red color of the primary unit embodies an unwavering fighting spirit, which may appear a little inappropriate on the battlefield where lives are at stake. However, the red is actually a special coating that was applied to compensate for the lighter, weaker armor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coating was another of Maxwell Gears' \"\"ambitious ideas,\"\" and serves to mitigate the impact of bullets and protect the delicate internals of the unit. As with the other armaments developed by this company, the coating is not suitable for mass production and only a few prototypes were ever made. An unintentional side effect of the color was that it made the machine stand out on the battlefield, opening it up to concentrated fire. However, with its ability to withstand such attacks, the units were then able to successfully contribute to the collection of data on high-speed combat and simultaneously help improve the combat skills of the Governor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the early stages of deployment, the units consisted of the same parts as the original model with the exception of the aforementioned coated armor. However, as the battle raged on, parts were exhausted and began to be replaced with increasingly experimental armaments. One of the first parts to be replaced was the head unit, which, in compliance with the wishes of the Governors, was swapped out for a unit more suited for close-range, high-mobility combat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo a Governor, however, \"\"survival\"\" is the alpha and omega.
