Hours Unless Backordered The Labor: a humanoid, multi-purpose construction machine. To combat the rise in Labor-related crimes, the Special Vehicles, Section 2 was formed — the PATLABOR squad! Catch the hijinks of the SV2 in the original television series! Volume #1: (Eps #1-5) As the 20th Century was nearing its end, a new Industrial Revolution brought forth unprecedented advances in robotics. The invention of the Labor - a humanoid-type, multi-purpose construction machine - emerged as the wave of the future. Making older industrial equipment virtually obsolete, the Labor, unfortunately, also made a pretty cool terrorist weapon. To combat the rise in Labor crimes, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Ddepartment established the "Special Vehicles, Section 2," comprised of specially designed Patrol Labors - PATLABORS. Volume #2: (Eps #6-10) Not Just Another Girl-Loves-Giant-Robot Movie Everybody loves Alphonse – a giant robot with huge guns to match! But technology marches on, and his police officer pilot may be forced to abandon him for a newer model. She’ll have to prove that Alphonse is still strong enough, big enough, and cute enough to stay on the force. Together, they’ll rescue a famous politician, hunt down a pesky demon, and solve a national conspiracy… all while causing worse trouble along the way Volume #3: (Eps #11-15) When you’ve got a giant robot, life isn’t always easy. All the high-tech gadgetry in the world can’t stop the pain of losing a loved one, or being rejected on a date. Or can it?

Volume #4: (Eps #16-18) Policewoman Noa Izumi loves piloting giant robots with a passion. Trouble is, she’s got a knack for demolishing the city she tries to protect.

Volume #5: (Eps #19-22) From the character designer of Record of Lodoss War!, Noa discovers an underground cavern and is trapped in a monster’s lair. She’ll need the help of her giant robot, Alphonse, to escape with her life! Volume #6: (Eps #23-26) After a disastrous going-away party, Lieutenant Clancy is leaving Section 2 for good. But her plane is hijacked before it’s even off the runway, and she checked her gun at the gate. Luckily, the bumbling bad guy is at least as incompetent as the police force she just left. Now, her only hope for rescue is a giant robot and the lovable lunatics of Section 2. Volume #7: (Eps #27-30) A rollicking cops and robots adventure! There's something strange in Section 2's neighborhood, and it looks like a haunted house! Can Noa use her giant robot suit to bust some ghosts?

The battle leaves Noa's partner wounded, and a dangerous rogue mecha on the loose. Volume #9: (Eps #35-38) The mecha police comedy continues! After a disastrous target practice, Noa leaves on her own to prove her worth as a policewoman. Before she knows it, she’s hot on the trail of a thief! But can Noa defeat a dangerous criminal without the aid of her giant robot suit? Volume #10: (Eps #39-42) Scientists have invented a new giant robot suit, and Noa’s mecha Alphonse is looking a little obsolete in comparison. Can Noa bear to leave him behind?
