Plot
The story takes place in the future world of Earth, which has been under attack by mechanical life forms known as "bugchines" for several years. The masses were living in fear, as no weaponry could stand up to the bugchines. To turn back this menace, warriors called AM Drivers are trained and armed with special weapons. The AM Drivers constantly fight to protect the general public. The most popular AM Drivers get larger budgets with which they may purchase more powerful weapons and defenses.
