Team White Snow

Team White Snow was founded in 2037. They raced in the IG-3 for many years, but in 2045 they changed their main sponsor. When they reached IG-2 in 2047, they had many victories and showed overwhelming strength. They reached IG-1 status with unprecedented speed.

The leader of Team White Snow is the one and only Zanak Strauss. Known for his superior intellect and analytical skills, Zanak is able to take down his opponents with only a few strikes. Judy, the team's midfielder, is a technically minded pilot who faithfully follows instructions from Zanak. On the other hand, Max, the team's defender, is the youngest pilot in the IGPX, having only been a team member with no piloting role until last year. She's shy and hasn't appeared in many publications and news outlets, but she may prove to be a fresh new face for the IG-1.

Their mechs are white. The design is considered standard O.F.P. style. The main shaft of each mech is identical in mechanical ability to Team Satomi's mechs. The name of their main sponsor is "Grand Gravity", a company that has become famous in recent years for its cutting-edge technological developments. The timing of their rise to prominence has also caught the attention of those following the IGPX. With their expected appeal of strength to the younger generation of fans with their other new sponsor this season, "KREATORS", an electronics company that has landed many commercial TV spots, Team White Snow should be able to satisfy many fans with their debut.

Team Member Introductions

Zanak Strauss (Forward)

Voiced by Doug Erholtz (ENG) and Kenta Miyake (JPN)

Zanak Strauss is the forward for Team White Snow. Leading the team means making sure everything is prepared before the race starts. If they win by cheating, they must still be prepared to implement those unfair tactics. As the team's leader, Zanak is understandably concerned about Max and Judy's well-being.

Max Elrich (Midfield)

Voiced by Mela Lee (ENG) and Chika Fujimura (JPN)

Max Elrich is the midfielder for Team White Snow. Max is half Norwegian (father's side) and half Indian (mother's side). She is very reserved and asks little of her teammates. What she lacks in social communication skills, she makes up for with her skills with computers. She follows the instructions of her teammates and will do anything to help her team win, even if it means cheating.

Judy Ballasteros (Defense)

*Judy Highsmith in the Japanese Version

Voiced by Megan Hollingshead (ENG) and Kotono Mitsuishi (JPN)

Judy Ballasteros plays defense for Team White Snow. Judy is very casual in her ways, and also follows Zanak's moves very closely. She is still very true to herself and her own feelings, and will use that to manipulate others. Overall, she assumes her role as defender well, and performs to the best of her ability.
