Argevollen (2014)
The story takes place in a world where two countries, Arandas and Ingelmia, have been warring against each other for a very long time. Tokimune, a young man belonging to Independent Unit 8 of Arandas, saves a girl named Jamie when she is attacked by enemy forces. In order to survive, he pilots the new mech Argevollen and fights. The new mech Argevollen is defined by its U-Link system wherein the Argevollen molds to its pilot's mind and cannot be piloted by anyone else. This customization allows the pilot to envision what the mech will do in his mind to use it, rather than physically move and steer it.

Argevollen
2014Seasons & Episode
As the 8th Unit heads back to headquarters, Brigadier General Cowen of the Arandas Army nonchalantly informs Samonji that Arandas is slowly losing the war, Tokimune is the younger brother of his late subordinate Reika, and that the Argevollen was originally meant for his own use.
Suzushiro tells Tokimune about the events behind his sister's death at Argent Point. At the time, Samonji was a Second Lieutenant and the leader of the base's security force which included herself and Quasimodo. Reika was a Sub-Lieutenant and the pilot for a new Trail Krieger that could use its pilot's brain to control unmanned mechs in the field.
Private Namie Portman arrives at the outpost where Independent Unit 8 is doing training exercises. Along with her arrival come multiple Trail Kriegers of a new model known as the ZTK5 Seiran, for which she provided testing data during production.
Samonji forbids Tokimune from piloting the Argevollen. Tokimune listens to a recording of himself going out of control and attacking his own allies, and Samonji tells him a shocking truth: the Argevollen is based off the unit that killed his sister.
The 8th Unit withdraws from the Pudder supply base as a huge legion advances. Samonji refuses to allow the Argevollen to launch, despite the fact that they're outnumbered, but Cayenne puts pressure on him. And when the Sturm Alpha shows up, he no longer has a choice.
The 8th Unit successfuly retreats after a fierce battle with the Sturm Alpha. But Tokimune collapses after leaving the Argevollen, and is in a coma. Jamie blames herself for not being able to stop him, and Samonji says that he's been defeated.
Arandas and Ingelmia both want to make peace to end the stalemate. Samonji is brought out by Cayenne, who tells him that if the war ends like this, all the sacrifices will have been for nothing. Cayenne shows him a line of Perfevollens, mass-produced Argevollen units, and asks him to make a choice
The Perphevollens have been put into combat. Samonji has left the 8th Unit to lead them. They're pushing back the Ingelmia army and winning many battles. Meanwhile, the 8th enjoys a short break at a northwestern supply base, but the troops are uneasy...
Ingelmia has introduced the Sturm Beta to counter the Perphevollens. The tide of battle turns towards Ingelmia's side again. General Cayenne, disgusted with the other generals desire for an easy peace, rebels against the Arandas government, with Samonji at his side.
Cayenne rebels against the Arandas military, and Captain Samonji sides with him. The 8th Unit goes to stop Samonji, but Argevollen is captured instead.
By deliberately leaking information, Cayenne is able to capture the enemy Sturm Betas. The U-Link squad is now much more powerful, and Samonji has broken through the Gate of No Retreat. Jamie and Tokimune swear they will get Argevollen back.
