Armor Hunter Merowlink(1988)

Armor Hunter Merowlink is a twelve-episode anime OVA set in the Armored Trooper VOTOMS universe, though it stands as a completely independent story. The series follows soldier Merowlink Ality, whose unit is deliberately sacrificed in battle under mysterious orders. Against all odds, Merowlink survives—only to be framed for a crime he didn't commit. Escaping his captors, he embarks on a relentless hunt for his former commanding officers, driven by twin goals: avenging his fallen platoon and uncovering the conspiracy that sealed their fate. Dark and revenge-driven, Armor Hunter Merowlink explores betrayal, military corruption, and one man's desperate quest for truth in a war-torn landscape.
