Aphrodite A (アフロダイA Afurodai Ēsu) is a robot created by Dr. Yumi, Dr. Kabuto's apprentice. Since it was originally built for peaceful uses, at first it didn't feature any weapons. Eventually, it acquires the ability to fire missiles from its chest with what was called the Oppai Missile System (Oppai being a Japanese slang term for breasts). Aphrodite was the first female mecha to have this kind of weapon.
