BattleFrame Girls

Main Article: BattleFrame Girl (Technology)

A BattleFrame Girl (also known as Frame Girl, BFG, or Frame) is a sentient robotic toy designed with a stylized appearance, typically inspired by anime. They are designed to fight and compete with other Frame Girls in sanctioned Tournaments, though they can also be designed as personal assistants or disability aids.

BattleFrame Fighters

BattleFrame Fighters were a line of toys produced by BattleFrame Industries some time before the manufacture of BattleFrame Girls. In contrast to BFGs, Frame Fighters were marketed towards teenage boys and young adults, and catered to a more mature, masculine aesthetic. They were produced in smaller numbers, and almost exclusively by BFI, with third party manufacturers primarily making part kits and enhancements. BattleFrame Fighters were eventually discontinued due to poor sales and pulled from the market, however some remain in circulation. BattleFrame Fighters are typically banned from BattleFrame Girl competitions due to a disparity in fighting ability.

List of Known BattleFrame Fighters:

CCUs

The CCU, short for Central Computing Unit, is the component in a BattleFrame Girl that controls their decision making and personality. It is analogous to the brain for a human. The technology used to produce CCUs is propriety to BattleFrame Industries and strictly controlled.

Weavers

Weavers are a unique category of Frame which exist to create CCUs.

An extremely small amount of CCUs show the potential to become Weavers. When these CCUs are discovered, they are built and transferred to highly specialized Frames for the sole purpose of weaving. These bodies are not meant for combat and thus do not fall into any of the three categories. Weaver Frames are typically far larger than standard Frames in order to facilitate the large demands of power and ventilation required for the weaving process. Due to these demands, Weavers are functionally immobile and unable to move freely, typically being confined to the room they have been built into.

Delphi is the only Weaver currently known to exist.
