GCTX-01 Mirai
Next-generation nuclear-powered Battle Frame developed by General Cybernetic Technology. It comes equipped with Psycho Drones, and uniquely requires another pilot (making it a two-seater machine) to effectively control the system.
- Attack Drone: It comes equipped with Psycho Drones that automatically attack locked-on targets and shoot down missiles, but require an extra pilot to control it.
- Jack of All Trades: Argurably most balanced out of all prototype Battle Frames.
- Laser Blade: Its melee weapon.
- Macross Missile Massacre: GCTX-01 carries massive amounts of Micro Missiles and a few Smart Missiles to take down opponents in dogfights.
- Magnetic Weapons: Carries dual long-range railgun on the back.
- More Dakka: Twin 20mm gatling guns, located in each forearm.
- Super Prototype
The Bright Upgrade
The GCTXX Akarui Mirai, an upgrade of the first Mirai after the original was wrecked by Yuliana in her Roaring Rampage of Revenge.
- Attack Drone
- Mid-Season Upgrade
- Homing Laser: Instead of missiles, Akarui Mirai uses this instead.
- More Dakka: The standard minigun on the original Mirai is replaced with a rapid-firing laser rifle.
M1 Guardian
World's first combat Battle Frame, developed by the CFN.
- The Alleged Car: Due to the Guardian being long outdated by the time the story take place, it gets outmatched by just any Battle Frame it gets thrown against, sans the equally obsolete Shilka.
M3 Striker
Standard multipurpose 3rd-generation Battle Frame in service of CFN forces around the world. Later on, two Striker Pack add-ons, Bogenschute and Kampfer, are developed for specialized missions.
- Boring, but Practical: The base model. All it has is an automatic rifle and a few missiles. When the UCN caught up to CFN in an arms race though (namely the development of Krokodil and Terminator), all the latter had to do is to install the Striker Packs.
- Lightning Bruiser: The Kampfer Striker Pack, designed for close-range Battle Frame dogfighting.
- Mid-Season Upgrade: The Striker Packs.
- Magnetic Weapons:Bogenschute Striker Pack turns the M3 into long-range sniping unit using shoulder mounted railgun.
M5 Viper
Fast-attack high performance interceptor Battle Frame, capable of transforming into high speed flight mode and back.
- Laser Blade: Has one as melee weapon.
- Transforming Mecha
S20 Shilka
First generation Battle Frame of the UCN. More of a flying tank than a humanoid machine (it doesn't even have arms), the Shilka is rapidly developed and manufactured to compete with M1 Guardian. It is now retired from UCN services, but still saw its usage in paramilitary and terrorist groups.
- Mook: Resident cannon fodder of UCN origin.
- Our Weapons Will Be Boxy in the Future: As the name suggests, the S20 is what happens when you mate the turret of ZSU-23-4 Shilka real-life anti-air vehicle with thruster "legs".
Mi-19 Strelki
Mi-24 Krokodil
S37 Terminator
S47 Berkut
Advanced dog-fighter Battle Frame with forward-swept stabilizer wings.
- More Dakka

ZX-03 Judgement
A massive UCN prototype for testing particle weaponry. It was stolen by Children of Fallen Nation before the events of the game and is now piloted by one of its members, Takeshi Obana.
- Beehive Barrier: Regularly deploys particle 'walls' that stops projectiles during the boss fight, forcing you to use PsychoDrones or maneuver around them.
- Energy Weapon: It's chest mounted beam cannon.
- Mighty Glacier
ZX-05 Zavtra
- Attack Drone
- Beehive Barrier: Particle Shield in PC version. Kind of Difficult, but Awesome to use however since it deploys a stationary barrier in the air, meaning you have to time the activation or be forced to temporary loiter behind the shield. The Rise Mirai version onward changes this to a bubble shield that stays around the Zavtra.
- Energy Weapon
ZX-08 Budushcheye
Prototype nuclear-powered Battle Frame formerly intended for Col. Andei.
- Attack Drone

Typhoon
Heavily armored Battle Frame exported by the ISA.
- Mighty Glacier: Sports better armor ratings than its contemporary Battleframe, but worse boost capacity.

Patriot
Old World War aerial superweapon capable of sending solar nuclear warheads around the globe.
- Attack Drone
- Timed Mission: When you fight it in story mode.
- Transforming Mecha: Depleting its hit-points will causes it to transform into a giant Battleframe, bringing the rest of its particle cannons to bear.
