VQ Trainer

"This is a campus full of happy smiling robots!" - Hikari Touno

It's a big piece of crap. If it weren't so useful for teaching young pilots how to drive robots, every last one of its line would've been scrapped long ago. Even then, there are still far better choices.

History
The VQ Trainer was based on the RX-7 Machine Weapons used by the Top Squadron, designed for training purposes. Oddly enough, they're only used in one training school, which is unnamed and resides in the icy heart of Siberia. As it turns out, they're actually being used to train young X-gene Psychodrivers to use the X-particle technology found in Dinagiga. Only Hikari Touno has shown a high enough resonance (and ability to not die) so far to pilot the super robot.

Technology
X-Particle System - It's a system that uses X-particles, which can be manipulated by Psychodrivers with the X-gene to do...stuff. It's still not really fully understood.

Weapons Systems
Trainee Knife - A small combat knife designed for training purposes, but also useful in actual combat.

Trainee Machine Gun - A small machine gun also designed for training, but able to use live ammunition.

VQ Lancer - A lance based on the lightning staves used by the Top Squadron, one of the few weapons of the VQ Trainer designed exclusively for combat.

Missile Pod - A pair of small missile pods mounted on the VQ Trainer's shoulders, each of which holds six missiles.

Significant Errata
Anyone who uses this thing in actual combat is an idiot. Or maybe insane. Hikari is probably both.
