The AU-1000 is a monster in the series.

Characteristics

The AU-1000 is a quadrupedal, multi-armed robotic monster with gold plating, wielding a weapon in each of its arms. In its lower arms, it wields a pair of curved broadswords, while in its upper arms, it wields a pair of golden crossbows. Much like other mechanical monsters in the series, it has a singular photoreceptor on its head. They can perform vicious slashing attacks with their swords and land desperate attacks, as well as emitting a blinding flash of light that can dazzle opponents.

Trivia

• The AU in the monster's name refers to Au, the symbol used for gold on the periodic table, indicating the monster's golden colour scheme.
• The Japanese name, Gold Mazinger (ゴールドマジンガ, Gōrudo Majinga^?) is both a reference to the Überkilling machine's Japanese name Killer Mazinger (キラーマジンガ, Kirā majinga^?) and in turn the Super Robot Mazinger Z. In Japanese, Mazinger sounds like the English word "Machine" and also Majin, which means evil spirit or demon god.
