It could be said that the Scourgers released to the world from the beginning of the war are threat to humanity indeed.
However, for the current EDF which is well strengthened by mobility and fire power due to the appearance of the new PA Gear, they are not as much a threat as once since they are already well analyzed and therefore considered easy to defeat.
But unbelievable new fact has been found.
Scourgers were thought to be slow bipedal weapons in the purpose of invading and destroying cities, but they were confirmed to have a secondary battle form.
Scourger Beasts transform themselves into quadrupedal walking type instantaneously and not only their appearance, but their mobility has greatly increased and there is no sign left of the slow bipedal walking type once they transform. Although the output of the beam gun which was on their chest is now restricted, it curves and lifts like a sickle to make an accurate sniper, and at times, they attack by jumping greatly in the air. Even though not using this function until today is a big mystery, because Scourgers are normally very slow and from their nature of stopping when there are no enemies around, they are originally thought to be weapons that can withstand long-term warfare.
Because of the fact that the fighting power of the Scourgers relatively dropped as EDF also introduced new PA Gears and weapons, Scourgers too seemed to stop preserving fighting power and exercised its true power. Anyway, it is no exaggeration to say that they have transformed themselves into a terrible wild beast weapons which are specialized for counterattack infantry.
