Venus A (ZERO)

Venus A (ビューナスA) is a robot built in its pilot Sayaka Yumi's likeness after her old robot Aphrodite A was damaged. It is part of the Mazinger Army for the Mazin War.

Appearance
Venus A compared to its earlier counterparts has a much more rounded and human-like body with designs blended together from its counterparts from the original manga and anime. Its overall appearance is designed after Sayaka with long brown 'hair' and a human-esque face. A pilder modeled after the Queen Star is docked on the head below an arch. It features long blades on its forearms for combat.

Abilities and Equipment
Venus A is able to fly through a series of rockets on its body. For close and ranged combat it is armed with the Z Cutter blades on its forearms that are made with Super Alloy Z and are able to cut through most materials. It is also armed with Finger Missiles on its wrists to attack enemies from a distance.

History
When Mechanical Beasts were on the move to attack Japan after decimating 5 billion people, Venus A was created for an assault to hold off the attack until the Photon Barrier was complete. On the flight over, it managed to defeat a few Mechanical Beasts but was eventually overwhelmed and was reduced to pieces pierced through javelins. Sayaka however survived by un-docking the pilder in time. After the Mazin War was over, Venus and Aphrodite's data was later used to create the Artemis A.
