A.M.W.S. (Assault Maneuver Weapon System, pronounced "aims") mecha are larger than A.G.W.S. but not as powerful as E.S. units. The major difference between an A.M.W.S. and an E.S. is that the E.S. are equipped with Anima Relics. Some are manufactured by Hyams Group while others are manufactured by Vector Industries. Some other A.M.W.S. use melee weapons, but many units are equipped with projectile or energy weapons, such as Astraea, a mobile weapon unit piloted by Doctus in Episode III.
