TR-0009 Tager

Iron Tager is a Sector Seven professor who has been mechanically enhanced to perform field-work, and is a playable character in Calamity Trigger and Continuum Shift.

Summary
Originally the leader of an Ikaruga unit, Tager suffered a mortal wound during the Ikaruga Civil War and was forced to withdraw. He was revived as an enormous cyborg by Kokonoe, whom he pledged loyalty to afterward. After his revival, he bears a similar resemblance to a demon, which resulted in him dubbed as the "Red Devil of Sector Seven". He is feared by many, but in truth he is very calm and calculated, only engaging in violence when necessary. He has resumed his duties since his revival as a cyborg and is currently not only pursuing Hakumen, but also Ragna as a secondary target. In the true ending, he and Kokonoe made an assault on the NOL when Ragna broken in.

In BlazBlue: Continuum Shift, he is sent by Kokonoe on a mission to capture the true holder of The Azure Grimoire, Noel Vermillion.

Abilities
In battle, Tager is noticably the slowest character in the game, unable to dash (mentioned in Teach Me, Miss Litchi), but makes up for that in power and defense. Apart from that. he has electrical attacks, all of his drives using this( but they don't create the same effect as Rachel's moves do). He has a gauge at the top, near his health bar, for one of his moves.

Trivia

 * In one of the 'Teach Me, Miss Litchi' segments, Kokonoe secretly built a rocket punch mechanism on Tager, which shocks him. Kokonoe reveals that she's not satisfied with the result and planned to switch the place of the mechanism, perhaps on his chest, and possibly, his penis, in which Tager censored the word by yelling GIGANTIC TAGER! (also said during his special move, Gigantic Tager Buster). Due to the subtext on what he's trying to cover, the scene is considered by fans as one of the funniest (if dirty) scene in the whole game.
 * Due to his frame, size and similar appearance, Tager can be viewed as the Blazblue equivalent of Potemkin, albeit with much more intelligence.
 * Tager can understand why Hakumen runs from Kokonoe, due to the horrible treatment by her. In fact, Tager makes several comments to himself during his own story mode, one most noticable for Tager stating he "likes how he looks" and won't go with a super-hero look after Kokonoe tells him to hurry up, or she'll "turn him into one of those comic book characters".
 * In Taokaka's dream, a coloration of Tager appears, called "Mecha-Tager". This coloration is blue and grey in her story path, but upon fighting, "Mecha-Tager" is green and brown. As to why his colourations are changed from story to fighting is unknown, but it may be that they didn't have a coloration of "Mecha-Tager"'s story look.
 * As "Mecha-Tager", his mouth doesn't move, nor does his facial expressions.
 * In Calamity Trigger, one of his three story ends has him turned into a giant, golden robot, Golden Tager; this scene plays as an anoime and Gundam reference. After blasting Bang into the sky(him resulting in a star), the Kaka clan claim him their hero and Kokonoe begins the plans to the "Silver Samurai", A.K.A Hakumen turned into a Gundam. Over the whole scene, Tager says that it was "Kokonoe's fault", due in part of some "minor" destruction caused, and even broke the Fourth Wall in a way by even commenting on the laws of psychics being ignored(someone of Tager's mass flying through the air, Bang turning into a star, ect.), and even says he gives up on trying to figure out how this was all done. This is one of the few "joke endings"; a small scene playing out just for laughs.
 * Tager's English voice actor, Jamieson Price, is also the announcer in another fighting game, Super Street Fighter IV as well as Algol's voice actor in Soulcalibur IV.
