Black Trike (DAWN FALL Character)

The Black Trike (ブラックトライク, Burakku Toraiku) used by Empress is a supporting character in Black★★Rock Shooter DAWN FALL.

Appearance
The Black Trike is a long, black three-wheeled motorbike, with two wheels at the front and the third at the back. It has a single slim RGB headlight.

Personality
As part of its advanced artificial intelligence system, the Black Trike is capable of speech, and is quite candid in its words and actions. It speaks with a cheerful and somewhat childish tone, and likes to exclaim in excitement or even swear when panicked. Black Trike is shown to be loyal to its master Empress despite her amnesia in the beginning of the story. In battle, it activates the necessary modes on its own to support Empress without any input needed from her.

History
Black Trike is a highly maneuverable military support vehicle used by Empress, and part of the Hemiteos Unit. It has an advanced artificial intelligence system, making it capable of supporting Empress in multiple fields besides its primary use as a combat vehicle.

The Black Trike first appeared in The Good, The Bad & The Mechanics, where it broke out from the facility at Area X to defend Empress from the Titans that were pursuing her, Norito and Miya. It fired at the Titans and revealed its ability to talk by happily greeting Empress, surprising the sibling duo. The three of them took off on Black Trike. It used a series of modes to get over the terrain while simultaneously firing back at the Titans. Later, when Empress drove off to bring Norito and Miya back to their home in the mountain town, a Titan intercepted their path of travel and knocked them off of Black Trike. The motorbike itself crashed, though was ultimately not damaged.

Trivia

 * Black Trike could very well be a nod to Black★Rock Shooter THE GAME due to there previously being a similar vehicle with the same name in the game.
 * Unlike the bike vehicles used by Dead Master and Strength, Black Trike appears to be the only one with a defined personality.
