When the Elementals had escaped the Protectorate they had managed to steal almost every every blueprint of their mechas, a good haul, were they not the obsolete prototypes used in the GVAW.

Undeterred, and desperately needing vehicles, the Elemental looks towards the blueprints and began working ways to modernize them, some were simple retrofits, others had completely strayed from the original draft, and some were even broken up and mixed with another blueprint to make a completely new model. And one of the mechs that had a major retrofit was the old Striker units, the precursor of the VX.

Infamous for its paper-thin armor and lacking the flight capability of the Tengu to compensate. The Striker was considered a failure aong the Protectorates until it was revamped into the Chopper VX, safe to say the Elementals shared the same sentiment. And had gone through many trials before it found its role.

By the end the designers had realized that if the Striker's armor can't be improved and it's pretty light, why not make it faster? Thus they worked on improving its engines, making it the fastest mech of the Elementals, and replacing its old bolt-action with a faster semi-auto, drastically increasing the Striker's rate of fire. Turning the mech into the Elementals scout and flanker, with many first-time mech pilots being given the Striker to control, due to it being the easiest mech to handle, before moving onto the more advanced mechs. Though many of the designers still felt that the new Striker was still underwhelming.

But its full potential didn't reach until the battle of (insert). Where a Striker, having lost its gun arm in the battle, had begun charging towards the enemy and smashing them apart with an improvised club, using its speed to close the distance or move to the enemies behind for a backstab. And though the pilot was eventually overwhelmed and destroyed. His action had bought the Elementals enough time to regroup and counterattack.

In the aftermath, the designers relook at the Striker, alongside their recent discovery of the visions, with the Striker being the first mech to be given a vision power., channeling the power of geo to form a club that not only shatters nearly anything struck but also producing shards which it can use to protect itself. But in further tests they realized how risky the Striker's new tactics were since it was a fragile mech, already infamous for being a metal coffin as the harness makes it impossible to escape in time, tasked with charging at an enemy to get into melee range. Thus Striker pilots often jump at the chance to change mechs. But as reports pile in they notice something.

There was a small force of Striker pilots who refused to advance, instead choosing to further hone their skills in mastering their Strikers. These pilots have often shown to be thrill seekers and warriors, often charging with their mech club to bash the enemy or to protect their allies by being the bait, often times their reckless actions had saved many of their forces. Eventually, it led to other Elemental forces calling the Strikers Śmiały, meaning "bold" in (insert language), due to the fact that their pilots must be fearless to charge at the enemy in what is essentially a coffin on legs. Something which their pilots took on withpride. Officially redubbing the Striker units.
