This is a huge robot which Hagane developed
during War of the Minions 600 years earlier.
Mujinkun runs on dream energy which is ubiquitous
in any space of the fairy kingdom. Mujinkun
is a hybrid of various materials like molybdenum,
dream iron, bullet-proof glass and duralmin.
On its surface, moving areas are usually
bellows, while immobile parts are striped
vertically. Entire bodily structure is a
little deformed, with knees below too long
and warped arms, but magic power is affording
Mujinkun a good balance. Mujinkun walks in
an unique way, like that of long-legged crabs.
Right arm of Mujinkun is a large gun.
One volley of its shots can mince several
thousands of Minions of Muscle at once.
The green hairs of Mujinkun are simply artificial
ones. Face of Mujinkun is colored like human,
but cannot show any expression.
Though Mujinkun cannot fly, Mujinkun has
considerably dexterity, and can run and somersault.
Mujinkun can act while carrying several tens
of personnel on its shoulder. While doing
so, internal limiter greatly limits speed
and action of Mujinkun, and even disables
Dream gun to fire.
Though Mujinkun does not need any pilot basically,
but it does have cockpit in its stomach.
Inside the cockpit, monitor is available
so pilot can view outside or communicate
with external.
Beside meters, joystick-like controllers
are equipped, but they merely serve to falsely
convince pilot "as if he/she is controlling
by her own will" through power of "auto
feedback function" which is often seen
in Hagane-made mechanisms. Because of this,
pilot does not need to practice anything.
In the game, Tamako is not informed of this
function, so she thinks that she is locking
on the gun by her own will.
Only function which needs human operation
is the "emergency button" inside
the cockpit. This button activates self-explosion
devices, which destroys entire functio irrevocably
with huge detonation. Pilot's life is guaranteed
... it should be. In the game, Tamako barely
survives, buried in cockput debris (though
her spectacles were crushed, she always carried
spare spectacles).
Mujinkun could never solve the war situation
in 600-year old war, after all. Its functions are, as most Hagane's inventions
are, unstable. When reincarnation energy
fell above Mujinkun's head, Mujinkun went
haywire and shot the concentrated energy
right into the Keeper.
Later, it was kept in the hollow inside Mumin
Glenn near Hypnotic City, but was called
forth again for anti-Marquis de Hentai battle.
However, the real reason why Sumeragi mobilized
it manned without permission was to teach
meaning of powerlessness to Hagane.
From designer :
Solid Snake in Metal Gear Solid is the model
of Mujinkun. Plus I added the gun which Gray
Fox uses in final scene of Metal Gear Solid.
Two tubes which jumper between right temple
and the gun are resemblance to bandana of
Solid Snake.
The name "Mujinkun" is merely a
pun taken from Japanese TV-ad character,
but the name itself means "the lesson
which dream god teaches its enemy".
Mujinkun's built is deformed in a way that
makes observers uneasy a little.

"The obedient domestic robot"
YS-12 prototype Deku (deku="dummy")
Blushing.
With Nusumi, left wrist loose.
10 years after the War of the Minions, Hagane,
who found value in "collective will"
of Minions of Muscle, tried to mass-produce
dummy fairies instead of selfish living fairies,
and developed Prototype deku as first model.
YS is a short for "Yumeshogun".
Hagane gave Prototype deku green hairs to
resemble the Grappler, whose strength largely
impressed Hagane.
Basically, specifications of Prototype deku
are similar to those of mass-produced dekus,
but certain differences, like ability to
fly at 750 km/h - 3 times faster than mass-produced
models - exist. Prototype shows no life sign,
unlike mass-produced models which are potentially
alive. Prototype Deku can fly with jet engines
and shoot death rays, which mostly comes
out of its mouth against its CPU's will.
Since development was cancelled before implementation
of automatic system, Prototype deku cannot
move unless someone gets on its back and
grabs hair dryer-like controller in place
of ears. Thanks to auto feedback function,
same as the one in Mujinkun, its rider can
freely fly the sky merely by grabbing ears
of Deku and by wishing to.
Unlike mass-produced models, vocal function
of Prototype is working properly, enabling
Prototype deku to talk in sweet-childish
tones like "I'm so grateful, master".
Prototype deku never disobeys the rider's
order. Hagane tried mental characteristics
of Prototype deku to mimic those of the Creature
Keeper.
Sumeragi grew mad when he found out Hagane's
insane scheme to replace living with machines,
and he threw down Prototype deku immediately
down the Mumin Glenn's active volcano top
(ignoring the plea from Hagane to continue
development until she implement automatic
system into the Prototype), and he waited
at bottom of the volcano to make sure Hagane
would not recover Prototype deku. However,
the Grappler followed fall of the Prototype,
and kicked it in the middle, then the Grappler
fell and died in the hot larva, successfully
convincing Sumeragi that she, who resembles
the prototype a tiny little bit, is the prototype.
Before her death, she told the Prototype
to stop someone (dreamdiver Ginji) who would
send reincarnation energy to the Keeper.
In fact, the Prototype's memory chip forgot
what the Grappler said very soon. Hagane,
who recovered the Prototype deku, then concealed
Prototype in same place with Mujinkun. 590
years later, will of Yumemashougun (= the
Keeper) and phantom will of the Grappler
that was still clung to the Prototype caused
magical reproduction of the dekus, and then
wills of past fairies possessed them@- the
mindless mass-produced dekus.
In the game (future), the Prototype Deku
does manage to thwart the Dreamdiver Ginji's
dreamdiving, though it was Nusumi who actually
steals his black bandana and thus nullifies
his existence to oblivion.
About drawing :
See following Multi in leotard suits for
reference. Do not forget to etch "HAGANE"
on Prototype deku's socks.
(see page of Makino Yasuhiro for original)
From designer :
Prototype deku is a much more exact parody
of Multi than mass-produced dekus are, since
prototype deku is meek-minded and very obedient.
Though the Prototype is a joke character,
some people might cry at its fate and the
brief contact between it and the dying Grappler.

Armor of Yumeshougun

Upon reincarnation of Rei into an artificial
fairy, Hagane developed this armor to contain her "radiant flesh"
which is harmful to living matters.
This armos is as heavy as 90 kg. Defensive
power as an armor is quite superb.
Sumeragi did manage to suppress her face
to be harmless. Therefore, there is no problem
if she is not wearing her notable feature,
the bird-beaked helmet which covers upper
portion of her face.
From designer :
I have gave GFXers the photos to tell broadness
and heaviness of European armor, and let
them draw rather freely.
The armor was initially supposed to be silver,
but since I liked "The steel angel"
as Yumemashougun's title, I decided to be
silent on what's her armor made of.
