konami mecha musume
Konami's figure brand name for Shimada Fumikane's (mainly World War II era) weapon personification.
Fumikane's original art series started long before the Strike Witches project was set up.
According to his doujin, the mechanized soldiers (機械化歩兵) are a type of homunculus created through aliens' robotics and Terra's alchemy. Their striker unit-shaped machinery is called the Alien Engine (エイリアンエンジン/異星人機関).
