** Dai-Guard first actual battle against a Heterodyne, doesn't go smoothly. It barely works, due to a combination of being minimally upkept for twelve years while outside and lack of actual field experience meaning that much of its functions were unrefined and untested. It nearly falls apart, and ''does'' lose an arm...but the team ''does'' kill the Heterodyne and it's a PR success.

** No one knows anything about how to stop the Heterodyne from appearing (if that's even possible), no one can predict when or where they'll appear, or what they'll do when they show up. All that can be done is to prepare and work together to minimize the damage...just like with any natural disaster.

* BreakOutTheMuseumPiece: Dai-Guard was made to fight Heterodyne, but when the Heterodyne vanished, the military were stuck with a useless giant robot, and the division in charge of him was privatized into a security company with Dai-Guard barely receiving the upkeep it needed to stay operational as a mascot. And then after twelve years, the Heterodyne return, and there's only one weapon designed to fight them.

** At one point, Dai-Guard's pursuit of a flying Heterodyne is stymied by...some moderately tall hills. The hills are just tall enough and at the right angle to keep Dai-Guard from being able to climb them with its relatively limited range of limb motion, so it has to be disassembled and driven to keep the chase going.

** After activating Dai-Guard and taking out the first Heterodyne, Akagi, Ibuki and their Manager are called to a board meeting. Akagi is expecting to be praised and rewarded, but the other two are less than enthused...and with good reason because the three of them are chewed out by the board for using company property without permission, causing a massive amount of damage to the city with said property which the company is on the hook for, and getting the company involved with the Heterodyne situation when they hadn't yet voted on whether or not to intervene.

* CombiningMecha: At first, Dai-Guard has to be carted to the battle site in pieces and assembled. Eventually the pieces are outfitted as vehicles in their own right, presumably to avoid this hassle, but they have to transform back to their "parts" form in order to assemble, and are demonstrated to lack weapons or any other non-transportational functions.

Trying to equip new parts and weapons on your HumongousMecha? Have fun trying and failing to properly align the weapon slots on your 150 ton mecha. Hell, sometimes the equipment is ''so'' new all of the bugs aren't quite worked out, sometimes it isn't even ''painted'' yet! Just put a drill arm on Dai-Guard? The massive torque causes the robot to lose control like crazy.

* OurMonstersAreWeird: The Heterodynes. No two are quite alike in design, shape and abilities, but are all based on the same basic composition which is equal parts fungus and octagon-shaped crystal (the "Fractal Knot"). They then form a body out of surrounding matter, making no two quite alike. They can move freely (some even fly), are ''usually'' attracted to EM waves and often have odd powers to defend themselves. That's about ALL they have in common.
