The Black Stalker is Jou Burado's machine in the series.
The main but deadly trait that the machine has is a pair of the ultrasonic generators that were attached onto the rear, which will generates potentially deadly ultrasonic waves as the air is passing through the generators. This not only having the other machines being damaged and/or destroyed, but also having people being (and in some cases, mortally) injured if they were hit by the sonic waves.
