Ichinana (イチナナ?) are mass-produced robots based off of the Mazinger series. There are two known variants shown in Mazinger Z: INFINITY, a worker type seen doing excavating and construction, and combat type for military use.
Appearance[]
Even though they are based off of Mazinger Z and Great Mazinger, Ichinana are cosmetically more futuristic compared to the outdated mechs and Mechanical Beasts from before.
The worker type has an all-yellow paintjob and have large headlights on their shoulders. The assault variant can come in multiple paintjobs. One squad protecting a Photon Power Plant in North America with Tetsuya in Great were in a brown and tan painjob with the helm in black. The Ichinanas that attack Dr. Hell's Island came in a light blue paintjob. There is one other paintjob that much more resembles the original Mazingers, Shiro is seen piloting this one.
Equipment[]
Ichinana's main method of attacking are the assault rifles they carry. The wings are detachable so they can remove unnecessary weight for ground missions. Some Ichinana are shown carrying shields attached to their left arm for defense. If a missile or another type of explosive are aiming for the Ichinana, some can shoot a sparkly dust from their chest (possibly a weaker, mass-produced form of Mazinger Z's Rust Hurricane) that can make them detonate before reaching the mech.
In Super Robot Wars 30, the Ichinanas used by Kouji and Shiro are also equipped with Mazinger Blades and Breast Fire systems.

Trivia[]
- Some fans have compared the Ichinana to the GM, from Mobile Suit Gundam, due to the fact they are both mass-produced mechs based off the main titular mecha and have a visor while the original had two yellow eyes.
- They are also comparable to the Mazin Brothers from Mazinkaizer SKL or the mass-produced Great Mazingers from the Great Mazinger Ota Manga as they are all mass produced Mazingers.
