Sandstorm Steel

Directed by Nikolas Dela Cruz
Zoren Kozaki was taught to build mechs by his father until his tragic murder, leaving Zoren on his own. Now an adult, Zoren is dead set on revenge and has teamed up with the town sheriff, Vaughn Cooper, to take on Roland Drake. Together, they ambush one of Drake’s convoys in hopes to stop a weapon shipment, using their mechs to fight their way to the front. As soon as Zoren sees Drake’s care splitting off though, Zoren abandons the job to chase after the man who killed his father, and leaving Cooper to deal with the convoy on his own.
