The Agodego is one of the Gunmen war machines seen during the early stretch of the story, entrusted to a pilot named Magin and recurring across the middle of the series after its introduction in the fifth episode.

Anti-Gurren Lagann is a machine found only in Super Robot Wars Z2: Saisei-hen, a sinister mirror of the hero mech built by the Anti-Spiral and driven by Nia so that the core mechanisms deep inside Cathedral Lazengann would stay guarded.

Arc-Gurren is one of Lordgenome's titanic Dai-Gun battleships, a Spiral-powered vessel that answers to him alone. Named by Rossiu, it is later dug up and turned into humanity's escape ship as disaster threatens the planet.

Arc-Gurren Lagann is what results when Simon fuses his Gurren-Lagann with the Arc-Gurren battleship. Born in the heat of battle to save the vessel from the Anti-Spirals, it later becomes the very engine that drives the mighty Super Galaxy…

Arc-Lagann is a giant Lagann conceived as a rival to Cathedral Teppelin. It shows up only in the comedic Otoko-gumi manga, where it stands as the base form of the Great Science Fortress Research Institute.

Ashtanga are the Anti-Spiral's warships, thumb-shaped behemoths ringed by black arms and grey Buddha-like faces. They are sent out to shield Anti-Spiral territory and to fall upon Spiral races whenever the Mugann prove unequal to the task.

Byakou is Thymilph's personal Gunmen, a skull-faced machine stowed aboard the Dai-Gunzan and taken into battle whenever his flagship cannot fight for itself. It slays Kamina's Gurren before becoming the first casualty of the Giga Drill…

Cathedral Teppelin is the Gunmen in its shape before transformation, a machine so vast the description of a mobile fortress fits it. It belongs to the Otoko-gumi manga rather than the animated series.

Dai-Guns are the battleship class of Gunmen, enormous carriers that hold smaller Gunmen inside for transport and carry heavy weapons. Several were spread among Lordgenome's forces and the four beast Generals.

Dai-Gundo is Guame's land-going Dai-Gun flagship, a legged fortress with an almost unbreakable shell that could channel Teppelin's power into a devouring cyclone of energy before Gurren Lagann tore it apart.

Dai-Gunkai is Adiane's centipede-shaped Dai-Gun, a submersible fortress made for deep-sea warfare. Rivaling the Dai-Gunzan in bulk, it ambushes the Dai-Gurren as the human ship crosses the ocean on its long march toward Teppelin.

Dai-Gunten is Cytomander's airborne Dai-Gun, a carrier-shaped flying fortress kept aloft by a pair of levia-spheres. It launches waves of aerial Gunmen fighters and bombers against Team Dai-Gurren throughout the campaign for Teppelin.

Towering over the ordinary Gunmen around it, the Dai-Gunzan begins as a Beastmen war machine placed under the general Thymilph, who answers to Lordgenome. Think of it less as a duelist and more as a walking stronghold on two legs. Once…

The Dai-Gunzan-Du is a Beastmen command vessel that appears solely in the film Gurren Lagann The Movie: Childhood's End. Piloted by Viral, it stands in for the lost Dai-Gunzan and borrows the styling of his other machines.

The Dai-Gurren is the red flagship of Team Dai-Gurren, converted from the captured Beastmen fortress once known as the Dai-Gunzan. A walking battleship far larger than a standard Gunmen, it carries the brigade as their mobile home through…

The Dayakkaiser is one of Team Dai-Gurren's stolen and customized Gunmen, marked by a cannon set atop its head that fires solid explosive rounds. Passed from Dayakka to Kiyoh, it later fights in orbit against the Anti-Spirals as an upsized…

Dekabutsu is a colossal Dai-Gun that forms the core of Teppelin, Lordgenome's capital. Steered through Lazengann, it towers over lesser machines and rains Gunmen on its foes. After its fall, the wreck is rebuilt into the Parliament Tower…

The Do-Ten-Kai-Zan is the mightiest machine the Four Generals can bring to bear, assembled by locking their separate Dai-Guns into a single fortress. Only the opening film, Childhood's End, ever puts it on screen, and its true strength…

Iraak Coega rides the Einzer as his own custom Gunmen through Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Painted teal and white, it breaks sharply from the usual Gunmen mold, its frame closer to a two-legged predatory dinosaur than to a stocky mech, and…

Enki is Viral's personal Gunmen, styled after an armored samurai and far more advanced than the machines around it. Across the series it is rebuilt into the Enkidu, the four-armed Enkidudu, and finally the galaxy-sized Tengen Toppa Enki…

Gember is the personal Gunmen belonging to General Guame. It first turns up atop the deck of the seized Dai-Gurren, where Guame boards it to personally execute the captured members of the brigade. Armored heavily and reliant on raw power,…

Granzeboma is the war machine the Anti-Spiral summons for the last clash against Team Dai-Gurren. Built deliberately as a dark mirror of the newly born Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, it lets the Anti-Spiral meet its Spiral enemies as equals,…

Grapearls are the mass-produced successors to the Gunmen, developed by studying the Gurren Lagann after the war. Fielded as humanity's new army machines, they lack Spiral Power and prove far weaker than the mech that inspired them.

Gunmen, also spelled Ganmen, are the primary mecha of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. The label reads as face, and true to that, every unit is built around a face, so the models vary wildly and rarely repeat. A human pilot drives one on Spiral…

Gunzar is the oversized Beastman-piloted Gunmen that becomes the raw material for Kamina's Gurren. Red-faced and yellow-eyed, it swings twin blades yet proves brittle in the limbs, a flaw Kamina exploits before claiming the machine for…

Gurren is the rebuilt Gunzar that Kamina captures and restyles into Team Gurren's flagship, crowned with the team logo and a giant version of his own shades. Supercharged by Simon and Lagann's Spiral Power, it becomes the torso of Gurren…

Gurren Lagann is the show's signature Gunmen, born when Simon's Lagann drills into the crown of Kamina's Gurren. Head and body fight as one, wielding endless drills and the mighty Giga Drill Break, and the machine keeps evolving into…

Kidd Knuckle is the monkey-shaped, gun-toting Gunmen piloted by Team Dai-Gurren's Kidd Coega. Set apart by legs that splay above its shooting arms, it is scrapped after the Grapearl switch and later revived by Leite as the upgraded Space…

King Kittan is the star-shaped Gunmen that Kittan Bachika steals and customizes after Kamina's example. Serving as Team Dai-Gurren's squad leader, it later returns as the battleship-scale Space King Kittan and meets a heroic end wrecking…

Kiyalunga is Kiyal Bachika's personal Gunmen, first seen as she trains with Kittan aboard the Dai-Gurren. Its one notable trick is folding into a spear and shield for King Kittan Deluxe, and it is lost before the war with the Anti-Spirals.

Lagann is Simon's own Gunman and, joined with Gurren, forms one half of Gurren Lagann. Simon digs it out of the ground in the opening episode while tunneling beneath his village. Kamina gives it its name, meaning enveloping face, and it…

Lazengann, a name that reads as Spiral Face, is the personal Gunman of Lordgenome. Standing tall and jet-black, it carries a single-horned helmet, a mouthplate across its chest, a striking tail, and a body pocked with ports that let drills…

Mecha are the primary means of travel and warfare in Gurren Lagann, headlined by the face-shaped Gunmen. From Spiral-powered human units to the faceless war machines of the Anti-Spirals, giant robots shape nearly every conflict in the…

This entry gathers the supporting Gunmen of Team Dai-Gurren, the machines fielded by its lesser-known members. Einzer, Kidknuckle, Twinboekun, Sawzorthn, and Mo-Shogun each fight through the Beastman war, get scrapped, and later return in…

A samurai-styled Gunman fielded by Team Dai-Gurren and piloted by Makken, Mo-Shogun swings a great katana and stands among the squad's frontline machines. Rebuilt with Spiral weaponry, it later meets its end in a sacrificial charge against…

Sayrune is Adiane's personal Gunman, a shape-shifting Beastmen machine that first launches from the flagship Dai-Gunkai. Switching between a winged humanoid and a scorpion, it excels underwater and menaces Dai-Gurren during the sea…

Shuzack is Cytomander's personal Gunman, a slim white flier built for dominance in the air. Like the other Generals' machines it can transform, shifting into a skeletal winged face, though it falls in battle almost as soon as that form…

Super Galaxy Dai-Gurren is a titanic Gunmen warship that once served Lordgenome as the flagship Cathedral Terra before disguising itself as the moon. Reclaimed by Simon, it becomes Team Dai-Gurren's flagship for the war against the…

Super Galaxy Gurren Lagann is the humanoid battle form of the flagship Super Galaxy Dai-Gurren, christened by Simon in the final act. Roughly half the size of Earth and driven through a nested control chain, it channels colossal Spiral…

The Tengen Toppa Gunmen are galaxy-scaled war machines that Team Super Galaxy Dai-Gurren manifests during the second film after the Granzeboma rips apart Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Rather than metal, each one is woven from Spiral Power…

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is the colossal mecha that gives the anime its name, the shape Simon reaches for in the last stand against the Anti-Spiral. It is less a machine than a living storm of Spiral Power on the scale of a super galaxy,…
