The AL-97B Samson is a military labor designed by Hishii Heavy Industries. It was used by the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force before it was replaced by the updated AL-97B-var Hannibal.
The AL-97B is an overhauled version of Hishii's earlier AL-97 Atlas military labor. The key structural elements remained virtually untouched, but the armor, weaponry, and electronics systems were entirely redesigned. Ultimately, these upgrades made the Samson a much more capable and versatile labor than the Atlas.
