The Unit-G (Guyver Unit)

The 'Guyver' Unit is a living biological armor system that greatly increases the strength and speed of the host while providing the wearer with a wide array of weapons and sensors. The Unit-G was created by a mysterious race called simply 'the Creators' who came to earth to create the ultimate biological weapon and ended up with mankind. The Unit-G was standard equipment for them, but when used on a human subject, the results were phenomenal and the unit was named 'Guyver', meaning 'out of control' or 'beyond the norm' in their language.

In its base form, the Unit-G appears as a small, round metallic device housing stringy biological material. Once activated, the device coats its host and hardens into the Bio-Booster Armor.

The Bio-Booster Armor, when not in use, disappears, and the only obvious marks left are two patches of small tumorlike growths.

Two or more guyvers can communicate through these growths. They are also used to call the Bio-Booster Armor.

When the Bio-Booster Armor is called, it goes through a dimensional shift which causes damage to anything within the host's immediate vicinity with the obvious exception of the host him- (or her-) self.

The metal device in the forehead of the Guyver Bio-Booster Armor is what keeps the biological material that forms the Bio-Booster Armor from going rogue and 'eating' the host as in the case of Guyver 2 and later Guyver I. The armor can heal itself and its host of any wound and can even regenerate the entire host body if the Control Metal is in one piece.
