Sitappa
The Sitappa (シタッパー) is a mass-produced unit used by the Gurendos on Electronic Planet B-1. They handle ground operations and have a casualty rate of around 200%. As well as fighting with rifles and occasionally swords they are used for any menial job going, being just as horribly out of their depth driving trucks and lugging stuff as they are in battle.

Despite this the Machine Robo were presumably sympathetic to the Sitappas, who were after all manipulated by Dylan and possibly RIM as well, as when R. JeTan and the other Battle Hackers thanked Rom Stol for his help on B-1 before heading off to parts unknown several Sitappas were along side them. Leina Stol in Wolf Sword Legend II
