Novel[]

The Fighting-Machines are reported to be 100ft tall, and also equipped with metallic appendages, three mechanical legs, a box-like heat-ray, a bazooka-like weapon discharging the black smoke, and a brazen hood-like head that houses a sole Martian operator.

Jeff Wayne's Musical[]

The Fighting-Machines are given to an insect-like appearance. Despite its appearance of the mech, the Tripod has a main body, as well as a cockpit in front to have green eyes, and a proboscis-like cannon to launch either heat-ray or a Black Smoke. A glowing red searchlight is seen on the lower side of each in front of the head. They have three metallic legs—For example, each leg can have three metal pipes, and a piston allows the leg to walk in the circles. Feet can be mechanical to walk at the bottom of the legs. Unfortunately, the musical incarnation of the Fighting-machines doesn't have metallic baskets for storing humans, though the feature is instead placed on the Martian Handling Machine.

Adventurer Kazuma Satou tells Eric about the full-frontal combat against the Martian Fighting-Machines, and the Neuroi themselves, and protect the Earth, with the assistance of Bastila Shan who also worked on her own. The Martian Fighting Machines participate in most of the battlefields, such as Greece, and Scotland where Princess Merida join forces with A.R.E.S. defense force.

Unlike Firefighter Battle Droids, the Musical incarnation of the Martian Fighting Machines had all metallic bodies to turn into grayish coloration, yellow highlights and trims, and red iridescent eyes. The machines are equipped with aquakinetic sprays rather than heat-rays. Firefighting Machines are responsible for bringing an aid to the Martians within the intelligence headquarters, and uses water cannon to dwindle flames from the military defense bases, and barriers during the battle. They only participate on major battles from the City of Gold and Lead to Fondor.

Shadow Strider[]

The eyes of the Fighting Machine are given a faux appearance, just before revealed its true appearance, including jet black screen, four yellow beady eyes, and light black jagged outlines. The Y-shaped feet are red violet with gradients placed on the lower half of the Fighting-machine's legs. Inside the Heartless Fighting-Machine, it only uses integrated brain that controlled the Tripod rather than the Martian operator in which the Martians maneuvers in. The Heartless variant received Final Mix coloration which echoes to that of an Air Soldier. The main machine is brownish black, with tan highlights, metallic legs are also brownish black with gold additives, and the lower half and the Y-shaped feet are now colored crimson.

Shadow Striders are the might of the Heartless military force under the direct envision of Ansem, Seeker of Darkness. The Shadow Striders are equipped with Dark Aura cannons, similar to one of Riku's abilities. The Heartless reinforcements unleashed translucent searchlight to search for fleeing humans, targeting and destroying them in the process. After the battle of Mz. Ruby's lair, the Heartless Fighting-machines, and their reinforcements launched counterattack on Twilight Town, but was violently overpowered by the members of the Celestial Federation. Fighting Machines also launched an attack on Radiant Garden, where Sora, Riku, Terra, Ventus and Aqua defeats Guard Armor. Time and again after the death of Archduke Granite during the major battle of Hosnian Prime, Shadow Striders fought the Celestial Federation forces from Tarsonis to the Colossal Canopy.
