AV-98 Ingram USA 1 is a Patlabor unit from Kidou Keisatsu Patlabor, a police mecha used by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police's Special Vehicles Section. As an AV-98 Ingram variant, it serves in labor-related law enforcement and emergency response, helping officers handle rogue or dangerous labors in the city. Rather than being a human character, it is a machine with a distinct unit designation. It represents the practical, tactical side of the series and appears as part of the team’s operational equipment.
