Exclusive: Watch gen:LOCK’s mechs join the fight against the Union

Saving the world is a lot easier with giant robots on your side. Luckily, the heroes of Rooster Teeth’s upcoming sci-fi/anime series gen:LOCK are the ones with the high-tech firepower.

gen:LOCK tells the story of a group of brave pilots trying to hold off the Union, a villainous group in direct opposition to peace. When people start dying, Vanguard soldiers and pilots upend their lives to save the world and the ones they love.

The group is led by Michael B. Jordan’s Julian Chase, a talented young pilot with a truly heroic streak. Together, Julian and his team just might be able to save the world — with the help of some massive mechas, that is.

In this SYFY WIRE exclusive clip from gen:LOCK Episode 1, some uninvited guests arrive to help Miranda (Dakota Fanning) and the Vanguard hold the line against the Union. What results is mech-on-mech violence and some truly inspired Vanguard soldiers.

Don’t worry: These new additions are the good guys.
