Alright /m/en.
It's time for a Super Robot Thread.
A thread on THE GREATEST SUPER ROBOTS OF ALL TIME
I'LL START WITH
THE ONE AND ONLY
GETTTTTEEERR ROOOBOOOOOO
and with Aquarion Logos this thread ends
>>15036674
That's funny, since Aquarion is a franchise that literally no one cares about and no one really knows about.
>>15036677
>trolls believe this after the SRW Z series
YEAH MAN
CHOUGINGA GURREN LAGANN
GINGA SENPUU BRAIIIGAAAARRR
>>15036680
>Genesis's plot told outright in Z barely touched upon in Z2, and touched upon slightly again in Z3.2
>EVOL's entire plot finished in Z3.1 with barely any changes asides from some needed characterization to Mikono and only around in Z3.2 for cross attacks with Sol Aquarion
>Logos wasn't even out by the time Z3 was done
That's like saying Cross Ange is the greatest real robot show because it's showing up in V
BUUUMMMP
>>15036711
Bryger is a bloody incredible show, easily in my top 10. But the robot design itself is ehhhhhhh
>>15036757
I admit that it looks a little goofy but that theme song is oooohh man
>>15036672
Anon, you're just asking for the whole Getter Robo shitposter squadron to come and ruin the thread.
>>15036906
Touché.
BALDIOS!!!
BUMMMP
>>15036932
Just look at those frames
>>15037270
Chogokin's cost way to much tho
And I'll form the head!
>>15037652
>tfw the fanbase is filled with fujos who don't give a shit about mecha
>>15037687
The fujos helped get it a second season so I don't care as long as I get more Voltron/Golion goodness.

Fuck off Pablo

That's all you need to know.
GUNBUSTER!
>>15036687
I like how when it's in robot form, Banjo docks with it by literally flying the Mach Patrol up Daitarn's ass.
Obscure Super Robots are the best.
>>15036672
Just started watching Armageddon. Pretty sweet but can't wrap my head around why did they bother to frame ryoma in the first place. In fact why murder the professor in the first place? The show didint make it clear of he was all ready an invader by then.
Red Baron anime...just because.
>>15038104
I can't wait until Luurah finishes subbing this one. I simply have to know the story that accompanies this design.
>>15038124
Only Imagawa knows. It doesn't matter anyway, just enjoy the ride.
>>15038104
BARATTACK OH YEAH
Tits in the first five minutes pretty good man
>>15038440
Live-action one is good too.
>>15038124
They explain it later on. Kawagoe does a very good job of explaining everything that was left vague due to Imagawas nutty pacing.
>>15038474
>Only Imagawa knows. It doesn't matter anyway, just enjoy the ride
Please don't spread the "Armageddon doesn't make sense" meme.
>>15038440
It looked like a weird red Jeeg in the thumbnail
>>15036711
It has everything about giant robots that I hate, but when it's all combined into Brygar it's fucking wonderful.
IDEOOOOOONNNN
>>15038645
Explain it, then.
GURAVIOOOOON
>>15039241
Dunno if you are the guy watching it or not so I will spoil text it.It is revealed Michiru did not die by accident during the Getter Dragon test, she was infected with an invader and chose to die there before it could spread. Finding this out when conducting her autopsy, Saotome began preparing for a way to kill the invaders once and for all but in his research he unfortunately became infected and started growing mad from it.
Hayato was working as Saotomes assistant in his anti invader research and was the one who discovered that Saotome was infected. Stopping him before he went out of control, Hayato murdered Saotome but now had to find a way to not get arrested so he could keep preparing the defense against the invaders. Knowing Ryoma is a loose cannon who his sense of loyalty and morals could get in the way of his ambitions to prepare for the invaders, Hayato kills two birds with one stone and frames Ryoma for the murder, saving himself from prison and allowing him to take over for Saotome and have 0 restrictions while also gaining government funding to prepare.
Armageddon makes sense, just it doesn't spoon-feed you unnecessary information and tells it to you later when you actually need the answers.
>>15039273Why did Hayato have red eyes?Why did he get into a UFO?
ZA-ZA-ZA-ZAN-ZAN
ZA-ZA-ZA-ZAN-ZAN

>>15039304
He's fucking crazy, that's why. If you hadn't realized, being a sociopath is kinda Hayatos schtick.
>>15039335
It isn't and never was.
>>15039339
>He didn't read the manga
>>15039339
Literally from the moment they meet him in the manga he is a fucking terrorist leader of a group of school students that turned a building at his school into a warzone. Even when he reforms he still has glaring moments where he asked little empathy for human life and only with old age does he begin regretting his actions but he still does them because he's a crackpot. Name one version of Hayato where he ISN'T a fucking lunatic. The man fights hand to hand using his talon like nails to cut people to pieces, when he's older he does the same with a knife.
If you are claiming that Hayato is not a sociopath I question what you've seen of Getter. The only time he isn't is in Toei Getter where they tone him down and just make him aloof.
>>15039347
Daiguard design is soo fucking beatiful.
>>15036906
>implying it's not him trying to make /m/ hate getter robo
>>15039357
Neo Hayato is mostly reasonable, I think. New Hayato is definitely bonkers though.
>>15039339
In the Original manga he plans to kill the prime minister because he was bored and literally tears a man's face off and rips another guy's ears clean off for thinking twice about what they were planning to do.
>>15036672
>THE ONE AND ONLY
Heh.
DAN DA DAN DA DA

DANGUARDO
>>15039357
So you think anyone involved in the military is a nutjob? Those guys have to kill and make human sacrifices, too. Hayato ripped off some people's faces in the first series, but the violence in that one was over the top for everyone. Remember that time Ryouma beheaded a dog with his bare hands in the middle of a city street?
Looking at his actual character, Hayato is a literal genius who decided that he would overthrow the postwar Japanese government with militant action until Saotome convinced him that there were more important battles to be fought like saving the entire human race. So it's obvious that Hayato has a militant personality, but I don't think that makes him crazy. At first he thought the government was corrupt and that he could create a better nation. He then instead spent his entire life keeping humans safe and watching all of his friends die because of it. Hayato is always thinking about minimizing casualties, realizing that he can't put one person's life above another's. So he'll make hard decisions to further whatever cause he's fighting for.
Getter Robo G has a story about how Hayato is always burdened with leadership, because of his genius, to the point of fighting members of his former terrorist groups and later he is unable to die alongside his friends because of position as head of the research facility. I really don't think a sociopath would yearn to die because their friends aren't around anymore. Hayato is ruthless, but he's not crazy.
>>15039504
I thought Ryoma convined him to stip being a terrorist because he literally ripped a dinosaur's head off with his bare hands and they figured he was the best choice for Getter
>>15039519
They forced Hayato into the Getter against his will. Then they fought a bunch of dinosaurs and followed the fleeing enemy back to an underwater rendezvous where they confronted Emperor Gore. It was only then that Hayato realized that humanity was screwed unless he helped Saotome.
>>15039504
or y'know both Ryoma and Hayato are crazy, which is why Saotome recruited them
>>15039468
Neo Hayato is fairly reasonable and calm, but he still shows signs of craziness.
>>15039504
>So you think anyone involved in the military is a nutjob?
No? I think someone who can kill so easily and is detached from human life to the point he can do quickly make the hard decisions that he makes a sign that he's at least a little damaged in the head. Don't forget when, I forget if it was Go or Takuma, are arm wrestling he fucking puts a knife at each end and seriously says that's how men arm wrestle.
When someone is willing to maim or kill someone with extreme ease and a smile on their face IN MIDDLE SCHOOL, that person is deranged. Also the fact that Hayato wanted to not only use his genius to overthrow the Japanese government but take over as a dictator at fucking 15.
Trying to compare Hayato to Ryoma is stupid because you are literally comparing an arguable sociopath to an arguable psychopath. Ryoma is a crazy moron who grew up his whole life isolated from people and living in the mountains to perfect his martial art. Getter seems to choose mostly crazy people because only crazy people can really pilot something as destructive as Getter. The closest to sane is usually the third pilot, who usually serves as the voice of reason and the anchor for the other 2 pilots to come back to reality.
DANCOUGA!!!!!!!

>Don't forget when, I forget if it was Go or Takuma, are arm wrestling he fucking puts a knife at each end and seriously says that's how men arm wrestle.
He was just intimidating them for goofing off on the job.
>fucking 15.
Alexander the Great founded a city at 16 and became King of Macedonia at 20.
>they're all insane
No, they're made of tougher stuff. The theme of Getter is survival of the fittest. Both Ryouma and Hayato care for their friends, get sad and feel emotional stress. But the difference is that all of them were put into situations of do or die and had to survive no matter what. Ryouma was a disgraced warrior, Hayato was an idealist with grand ambitions for society and Musashi beat nature by living in the mountains. Rando was the actual crazy guy, he wanted nothing but power over others.
>>15036932
I too love Mighty Orbots

>>15039618
Quick question are you legally insane? Because that's the only way someone could think Ryoma and Hayato aren't crazy
>>15039618
Ryoma wasn't in a situation of do or die, he entered a martial arts tournament and wounded several people there cause his father got his ass kicked
>>15040972
Ryouma's father put him in life threatening situations in order to train him in karate.
>>15036672
He's not even the best robot in husband series. Texas Mack has too much high power man
>>15038440
Just watched the first episode of this like, the other day since I literally found it in an old folder and holy shit, it looked fun as all fuck. Should I track the rest of it down?
Don't want to comment on the naming sense, but it takes the best of Oubu and Entei and mashes them together in one glorious package. Figure fucking never though.
>>15043135
Meh
Yusha RAIDEEN, the first non-Nagai super-giant robot series, I think.
