In a futuristic world, a horde of zombie-like machines known as Puppets have overrun Earth and laid waste to countless cities across the world.

The Commander of The Union is responsible for coordinating a team of Artery Gears, cyborgs equipped with the most advanced technology of Earth, to battle against the Puppets.[3]
