History Awesome / SuperRobotWars

* During the 30th anniversary livestream on July 11, 2021, it was revealed that the franchise has obtained a Guinness World Record for having the most [=IP=] licenses in an [=RPG=] series at a whopping '''''[[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters 274!]]'''''

* '''''Franchise/{{GODZILLA}}''''' is officially part of ''SRW'' as of X-Ω. Repeat; ''Super Robot Wars'' has not only reached the GodzillaThreshold, they went in whole hog, and it is GLORIOUS!!!

* During the 30th anniversary livestream on July 11, 2021, it was revealed that the franchise has obtained a Guinness World Record for having the most [=IP=] licenses in an [=RPG=] series at a whopping ''274!''

* Usually when it comes ''Super Robot Wars'' games, the developers prefer to do the announcements for new games on their own, and so for their MilestoneCelebration game ''Super Robot Wars 30'' they did the same, right? Actually no, not this time. Of all things, ''30'' got first announced in a Japan-only WebVideo/NintendoDirect for [[UsefulNotes/ElectronicEntertainmentExpo E3]] of 2021! That's right, even if it was relegated to only appearing in the Japanese version of a Direct, a ''Super Robot Wars'' game got to be first announced simultaneously in two of the biggest events in Video Game media coverage. Talk about a signal boost!

* This series is so awesome it just got one in 2011 before the newest game came out. Why is that you ask? Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann got to debut in ''VideoGame/{{Super Robot Wars Z}}2''!

* How many of you have been sitting around, possibly watching the show in question, and thought, "Wow. That robot had some cool moves. I should look up the animations for the moves in that one Super Robot Wars game." Then an hour later after you've watched that robot's moves in six or so different games, you go on to watch the moves of a whole bunch of different robots just because you're doing it anyway?
* This series is so awesome it just got one in 2011 before the newest game comes out. Why is that you ask? [[spoiler: Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann IS GOING TO DEBUT IN ''VideoGame/{{Super Robot Wars Z}}2''!]]
** Screw that. '''[[Anime/ArmoredTrooperVotoms VOTOMS]] IS COMING'''.
** YMMV on the ''most'' awesome part of the [=SRWZ2=] list, but almost everyone agrees that it ''is''.
** And now [[Anime/{{Gigantor}} Tetsujin 28 Go]] is coming too!
** Just about everything about Saisei-hen's second PV. [[spoiler:Rand and Setsuko are back]], most of the old units' strongest moves are back (some gaining new moves even), and [[PunctuatedForEmphasis USABLE. SHIN. DRAGON.]]
* It's amazing that the Internet doesn't break down by sheer awesomeness from the news that '''2nd SRWOG will release in August, featuring casts from SRWD, released for [=PS3=].'''

* A behind-the-scenes one: during negotiations to license ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' for SRW, some Gainax executives were reluctant to give permission because they were worried having Eva SuperDeformed would be bad for its image. When Hideaki Anno, Eva's director, learned of this, he got pissed and delivered a verbal bitchslap to the execs along the lines of "No one is going to prevent ''my'' Eva from fighting alongside the likes of ''[[Anime/MazingerZ Mazinger]]'' and ''[[Manga/GetterRobo Getter]]''!"
** Another one for Anno: As soon as ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' became available, he called up SRW director Takanobu Terada--at roughly 2 in the morning--and asked "So, do you still have any room left for ''Gurren Lagann'' in your games?" Seriously.

* '''''Franchise/{{GODZILLA}}''''' is officially part of SRW as of X-Ω. Let me repeat that. Super Robot Wars has not only reached the GodzillaThreshold, they went in whole hog, and it is GLORIOUS!!!

* Shinji Ikari, if [[TookALevelInBadass properly leveled]] gets a '''huge''' one in Super Robot Wars F Final, where he more or less takes on the entire Mikene Empire, including the Great General of Darkness single-handedly, and beats them pretty freakin hard into the ground. The (for lack of a better term) slaughter doesn't really end until the Fifth Angel pops up and wipes them all out.

** ''Awesome/EndlessFrontier''

According to it's article on this very wiki, ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' is "A MassiveMultiplayerCrossover franchise, based off almost every HumongousMecha series ever made in Japan."

* ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsMX MX]]'' gives Rom Stoll of ''Machine Robo'' the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Bpx66Ld-TI spotlight during the End of Evangelion event]]. There, the scene only gets as far as [[spoiler:the instant before Asuka dies at the hands of the MP Evas]]. Right before the moment of agony anybody who's seen the movie has come to expect, we hear Rom yell '''"WAIT!"''' He goes on to explain to the gibbering monsters that sometimes, when everything seems darkest, the tide of battle can turn in an instant, and that's what's known as "divine intervention". Then he and 15 other fighters appear on the battlefield at maximum Will and proceed to rip the [=EVAs=] apart.

* Hell, every time Rom Stoll interrupts with '''"WAIT!"''', it instantly counts as awesome, as well as when he responds with ''[[CatchPhrase "You don't deserve to know my name!"]]'' after any of the stunned villains demand they tell them his name.

[[folder:UX]]
* Almost everyone who actually gets to play ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsUX'' will agree the story astonishingly brilliant, so much that its popularity now only rivals ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsW'' (too bad for those from the state side). One of the main props is that ''UX'' has one of the largest SecretCharacter cast in recent SRW titles (''almost all'' canon deaths can be saved), and if you manage to save them the scenerio will drastically change afterwards (some even up till the epliogue); meanwhile there're just "oh god how many" crossovers between different series to the point that they're all smoothly written. Some of the best moments will be explained in the following lists.
* After being mistreated in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsK'', the ''[[Anime/FafnerInTheAzureDeadAggressor Fafner]]'' cast finally receive their justice, filled with awesome moments here and there...Some along with [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Shinn Asuka]] and his [[MemeticMutation Mark Destiny]].
** Stage 25. When Kazuki is in a pinch defeating those Festum on Tatsumiyajima, Shinn also joins the fray to protect Yumiko (who is about to get killed), but his Impulse gets heavily damaged in the process. However, before Shinn gets assimilated (even telling Kazuki, who rushes in to help him, to get away so that he can protect more people) we hear Tsubaki's whispers, and she ''remotely delivers the newly repaired Destiny Gundam'' to Shinn's hands, who proceeds to rip Festums apart together with Kazuki...All happens along the song ''Life Goes On''.
--->'''Tsubaki:''' It's fine, the destiny is on your side...And since it's your answer, this is the wings of fate you hoped for!
** Stage 27 ([[Anime/TheWingsOfRean Byston Well route]]) is a '''major''' one, but only if you fulfill requirements to save Shouko Hazama: [[Anime/TheWingsOfRean Rouri Yahan and Kanamoto Heiji]] are beating up your team badly with their new Aura Battler, but suddenly Soushi receives a familiar signal in Siegfried System, and out there comes no one but that supposed-lost Mark Sechs and Shouko, who ''outright curbstomped Rouri on spot''. To put it into perspective, ''Fafner'''s resident IllGirl [[TookALevelInBadass takes hundreds level in badass]] so much that she's now known as [[MemeticMutation a skillful female Aura Battler]]. Suddenly the stage's title "Earthlings' Aura Power" (and her name) instantly leads to a whole new meaning.
*** The next stage we saw [[Toys/BBSenshiSangokuden Koumei Re-GZ]] sees through [[Anime/TheWingsOfRean Sakomizu's plan]] and asks [[VisualNovel/{{Demonbane}} Al-Azif]] to lend him the Mirror of Nitocris, recreating the infamous "Empty City Strategy" to distract the flagship's barrage, while Lockon (under Shuuyu Hyakushiki's command) takes the main cannon out before it can recharge. It then follows by Sousou Gundam's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Sakomizu, stating that he can't become a real "king" if he only relies on trickery.
--->'''Sousou Gundam:''' This is what you hail for your dream, Sakomizu? Sacrifices are permissable, but one who only relies on evil plans and trickery will not become a real king!
** Stage 29, Shinn and Lunamaria rushes out to save the ''Fafner'' cast as they try to persuade Koyo Kasugai to regain his humanity (if Shouko is alive, she'll take up that role as well), and revealing their new CombinationAttack in the progress. Luna then states she'll bear Shinn's responsibility to protect those around from being harmed, as she is now his partner. It also gets heartwarming when you realize [[Creator/KenichiSuzumura the]] [[Creator/MaayaSakamoto two]] actually gets married in real life.
*** The after-stage Lantern Flow scene (which used to lament for the dead) is a minor MomentOfAwesome, as the scene will run differently depending on your routes taken, and if you saved someone before. [[spoiler:To a surprise for ''VisualNovel/{{Demonbane}}'' fans, Leica will also lament for her brother Ryuuga. This is BIG, because their origins and relations were cut out in the anime, while only one route in the original VisualNovel will mention it.]] Clearly the staff has ShownTheirWork.
** In Stage 38, to prevent Tatsumiyajima being nuked, Mamoru becomes such a {{Determinator}} that he ''nearly kills [[Anime/TheWingsOfRean Sakomizu]]'', who're just going to activiate Oukaou's SuperMode, and ''impressing'' him, of all things. [[spoiler:Unfortunately [[Anime/NinjaSenshiTobikage Hazard Pascha]] [[KickTheDog kills Mamoru seconds later]], [[MoralEventHorizon despite the fact that he is protecting his frigging nuke-carrying ship the whole time]]. Such act just gets Sakomizu (and your teammates) understandably and mightily pissed.]] Oh, and Mamoru does all these, as of original, ''without his Goubain helmet''.
*** Mamoru also gets one later in Stage 41 if you manages to save him. The new Fafner pilots and your team are facing the assault of the new Festums, and the rookies are understandbly shaken, but Mamoru pulls out a BigDamnHeroes along with a RousingSpeech and ShoutOut to ''Manga/KamenRiderSpirits'', and conduct a CombinationAttack with Hiroto Douma (too bad it doesn't get animated).
--->'''Mamoru:''' Even there're no chance of victory, one will still fight for he believes that tomorrow will come...That is what known as Goubain!
--->(Cue CombinationAttack)
--->'''Mamoru:''' There're still many enemies out there...But yet it's not a problem, for me and Hiroto are now Double Goubain!
** Stage 39, we finally comes to Operation Azure. If conditions are fulfilled, Michio Hino will pull out a BigDamnHeroes to save [[Anime/NinjaSenshiTobikage Irubora]] from Idun, to repay later's act of saving his life earlier. But the real awesome moment? ''Not only'' Maya taking advices [[Anime/Gundam00AWakeningOfTheTrailblazer from]] [[Anime/MacrossFrontier resident]] [[Manga/LinebarrelsOfIron snipers]] to take out Idun near the end, and ''not'' only the Earth Federation (or to be precise, [[Anime/Gundam00AWakeningOfTheTrailblazer Kati's troops]]) helps with your assault...But also ''Fei-Yen HD'', who finally fully awakens, sings ''[[VideoGame/VirtualOn In the]] [[MeaningfulName Blue Sky]]'' to give your team HeroicSecondWind to defeat Idun once and for all. (Which actually becomes obvious if one understands [[{{Foreshadowing}}how to pronounce "39" in Japanese.]])
* Stage 4. [[Anime/NinjaSenshiTobikage Tobikage]] [[BigDamnGunship comes out of nowhere]] and BEATS UP '''[[VisualNovel/{{Demonbane}} Master]] [[BigBad Therion]]'''. No more explaination is needed.
* Stage 22 can be alternatively called as MomentOfAwesome: The Stage. Your team is still [[HeroWithBadPublicity the enemy of the whole world]] despite fighting so hard against [[Manga/LinebarrelsOfIron Katou Organization's satellite weapon]] ''and'' their alien reinforcements, [[Anime/NinjaSenshiTobikage Hazard Pascha]] is about to become Commander-In-Chief of all Federation's forces, [[ShoutOut the democracy seems dying out]] [[RevengeOfTheSith with the thunderous applause among the council]]...Until [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Arthun]] (who pulls off his [[PaperThinDisguise Alex Dino disguise]] almost exactly the way and the words [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Quattro Bagina]] used) and [[Manga/{{Heroman}} Agent Hughes]] arrive on time, reveals that Hazard is actually betraying the Earth, and giving him a proper verbal smackdown before the President relieves Hazard from duty [[note]]as she doesn't have enough evidences to prove his trenchery to relieve him until this moment[[/note]]. She then immediately contacts your team and calls for a request to destroy the satellite weapon. Now your team (which up to this point is known as an antagonistic mercenary group) finally becomes the force of justice!
** That's just half of the awesomeness. [[Anime/DancougarNova Eida]] fought very hard for the first 22 stages so that her companions can live their ordinary life (it's a long story), but now (at the same time as of the above events) she also reaches her limit and is about to get killed......But suddenly, '''"[[CombiningMecha CHOUJUU]] [[PreAssKickingOneLiner GATSHIN!]]"'''[[note]]Completely voiced, no less[[/note]] This signals Team D's reformation ''and'' your time for a counterattack, ''while the game's main theme is playing''. The later half of the stage we'll see your team ''and'' Earth Federation race to destroy the nukes flying in the air, which is also an awesome thing to watch.
* See the [[Manga/LinebarrelsOfIron Final Phase scene]] from ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsL'' above? Well, now play Stage 45. If you fail to save Ishigami, he'll pull out a HeroicSacrifice as of in the manga; BUT if you manage to save him, Sakomizu and Ryofu Tallgeese, here's how it works: Under the heavy attack from Human Machinas, Sakomizu suddenly returns to the field along with Ryofu, and they start to kick those Machinas around (in Sakomizu's case, he'll reveal his CombinationAttack with Asap); and when Ishigami is about to pull his HeroicSacrifice anyways, [[spoiler:Shinn, Kira and Athrun convince him to live on so he can create a new future, and try to destroy the portal ([[FridgeLogic which brings out the question that why Mobile Suits' power output can be that high]]), and followed by EVERYONE (including Jin). To pull a nail on their portal attack, Ryofu, Ryuubi, Sonken and Sousou unleash their (manga-only) CombinationAttack, and ends with Ishigami and Katou's attack on the last of the Human Machinas.]] Oh, and even Linebarrel's story in ''UX'' isn't from the anime, ''[[AwesomeMusic PROUD]]'' is played all along Ishigami's scenes. [[LampshadeHanging Ishigami's words afterwards]] really drives the point home, though:
--->'''Ishigami:''' The future has been changed......Well Juda, seems that even you can't predict things like this, huh?
** A minor MomentOfAwesome for Creator/JojiNakata (Ishigami's VA): he ''actually'' wrote on his Twitter that he wanted to voiceover those famous lines from the manga before Ishigami's HeroicSacrifice, and he got to do so. "DoingItForTheArt" up and running.
* [[Anime/Gundam00AWakeningOfTheTrailblazer Setsuna and his 00 Qan[T] ]] doesn't get much chance to shine in the movie, but in ''UX'' his 00 Qan[T] rolls out much earlier, we finally get too see it in action. Its debut in Stage 38 involves trying to convince [[Anime/TheWingsOfRean Sakomizu]] stopping his conquest, telling him not to be trapped by the past events; and in Stage 43(Tatsumiyajima route), Setsuna actually ''uses the Quantum Burst'' on [[Manga/LinebarrelsOfIron Hisataka Katou]] so he can understand what his respected teacher (Amagatsu Kizaki) really means to save the world. One can say that the success to direct Amagatsu's last words from Kouichi to Katou makes Setsuna confident that he can do the same to ELS.
* Stage 49, you finally kills [[Anime/NinjaSenshiTobikage Hazard Pascha]] for good. Admit it, after all those KickTheDog moments and countless MoralEventHorizon he crossed, "satisfying" doesn't even enough to describe one's feelings upon his death. (At least in ''UX'', anyway)
* Stage 50 wraps up the last of ''Anime/MacrossFrontier''. As the possessed Queen Frontier is about to bombard Macross Quarter with [[BFG its Macross Cannon]], by Sheryl and Ranka's songs and emotions, those Vajiras you saved return to [[TakingTheBullet block the shot]] as of original......''But it doesn't end there''. In fact, [[Anime/Gundam00AWakeningOfTheTrailblazer ELS]] '''and''' [[Anime/FafnerInTheAzureDeadAggressor Festum]] also rush to help protecting your force: A living proof that the attempt for coexistance does not, and will not end in vain. Your force then proceed to beat the living crap out of those Cyber Nobles, ending with the infamous Wing's Dance to end the war against Vajira.

'''Examples:''' (please sort by game)

[[folder:The Alpha Trilogy]]
* The SRW series enjoys turning ''[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion End of Evangelion]]'' into a CrowningMomentOfAwesome for someone.
** In ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha 1'' Asuka gets to beat the crap out of the Titans, and when the MP EVA's show up, Londo Bell gets a kickass BigDamnHeroes moment where they proceed to utterly CurbStompBattle the final EVA enemy, ''with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbhCVICGARE Shinji Ikari leading the charge!.]]''
** In ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha 3'', the moment belongs to Shinji Ikari again. When the events of End of Evangelion play out, we get to the point where [[spoiler:humanity is melting into goo]], but instead of going screamingly insane, Shinji gets ''royally pissed off'', marches down to [[ElaborateUndergroundBase Terminal Dogma]] and gives his father a piece of his mind. And by "piece of his mind", we mean a ''robot-sized katana to the face''.
*** The whole level is pretty much a Crowning Moment of Awesome for the Alpha Numbers (the protagonist group in the Alpha games), as they're effectively [[strike:kicking]] ''[[GetAholdOfYourselfMan Bright Slapping]]'' the crap out of the merged Shinji/Eva Unit-01/MP Evas + Tree of Life, also known as {{God}}. This is while, by all rights, they ''ought'' to be melting into LCL, but they're just too damn {{Hotblooded}} to turn into goo.
** After watching End of Evangelion and seeing how nigh indestructible and horrific the MP Evas were, who doesn't get satisfaction out of seeing them in a SRW game get utterly ripped to shreds by Mazinkaiser's Fire Blaster, Shin Getter's Shin Spark, SRX's Buster Cannon, Anime/GaoGaiGar's Goldion Hammer, Sanger's Zankantou etc.
* In ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha'', the Third Angel is making short work of Neo-Tokyo 3 when a man in a snappy suit and a cigar steps out, and manages to fight the Godzilla-sized monster to a standstill with his bare hands. That man is [[GiantRobo Alberto The Shockwave]].
** Later, when fighting a different Angel, the [[Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam Victory Gundam]] battleship ''Reinforce Jr.'' actually manages to kill it, leaving its captain stunned that it worked and everyone else wondering what the hell just happened.
*** For the record, only the Evangelion people and the captain himself are truly surprised. Everyone else just puts another notch onto the leaderboard, under ''Bright Noah''.
** From the second game, Ibis has an amazing one, when a major villain from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' strafes the party with his exceptionally powerful and large Mobile Armor...and then proceeds to get his ass kicked by her when she appears in her transforming fighter and strafes the hell out of his Mobile Armor.
*** Hell, she has a lot more. Ibis going through massive CharacterDevelopment right before her MidSeasonUpgrade (which consists of hefty stat boosts to her and her mech) by gathering up her HeroicResolve. Up till that point, she has been suffering from truly low self-esteem from her past. Her managing to get over the past and ''then'' pulling off the Maneuver [=GrAMX=], the same maneuver that caused her so much hell, is this and a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming.
* Musashi's Back-from-the-dead moment in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha 3'', wherein he finds a way, depite being ''[[DeathIsCheap dead]]'' to reactivate Shin Manga/GetterRobo when it was obvious that the Getter crew needed it.
** ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha 2'' also gave Musashi an epic moment. The Getter team is bound along with a set of hostages, and the villains are threatening to kill them should the Alpha Numbers approach. Musashi approaches in Black Getter and causes enough trouble for the Dinosaur Empire's emperor, Goll, to come out and deal with him personally. Undeterred, Musashi then performs his classic Daisetsuzan-Oroshi on Goll and throws him far away from the hostages. Declaring he's won, Gaogaigar then arrives with the Dividing Driver to separate the fight from the hostages, leaving the Alpha Numbers free to give Goll a righteous smackdown.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9cCv7Xn2Lc The opening of SRW Alpha 3]]. The entire thing is a jaw dropping spectacle of the Alpha numbers taking on an invading army. When they manage to break on through to the other side, only to find themselves overwhelmingly outnumbered, to the point that you can barely see the background for all the enemies flying in it. All of the Alpha's look around in disbelief, until the camera zooms in on Mazinger Z. Which clenches its fist and ''charges'' at the enemy full tilt, inspiring the other Alphas to follow suit. The only thing that could make it more awesome was if JAM Project was rocking out a song while it happened.

* In ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha 3'', following the TearJerker ending of ''[[Anime/GaoGaiGar GaoGaiGar FINAL]]'', [[spoiler:all of the Alpha numbers are trapped, apparently forever, in an interdimensional void, with only enough power to send two small children back to Earth. They're not even going to bring back help - none of the team has any hope of that - just to tell their story to the people they saved]]. To make matters worse, a villain with the ability to teleport into and out of the void at will has decided to put them out of their misery. Right when everything looks positively [[DoomyDoomsOfDoom doomed]], a beam of energy appears out of nowhere, and the pocket dimension they're in literally ''shatters'', revealing a newly rebuilt and upgraded form of the series' flagship robot: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcqrlsW-1Pg&feature=related&fmt=18 SRX Altered Banpreios]], which proceeds to load its traditional pilot (who was stranded with the other playable characters) on board and kick a truly epic amount of ass.
** In the same game, but in Touma's path, the debut of his SuperRobot [=RaiOh=]'s upgraded form, the [=DaiRaiOh=], singlehandedly destroys one hundred enemy mecha in a [[http://www.youtube.com/comment_servlet?all_comments&v=I_JrGFQfuYQ&fromurl=/watch%3Fv%3DI_JrGFQfuYQ&fmt=18 single battle.]]
*** Being an {{Expy}} of Franchise/KamenRider, Touma gets lots of these. To wit, RaiOh's first appearance is probably the manliest of the originals, then he gets RaiOh's strongest attack, then he upgrades to DaiRaiOh, where we get the above, then DaiRaiOh gets Jinrai, which is basically a [[Franchise/KamenRider Rider Kick!]] performed with a HumongousMecha, then he ''kicks the BigBad into oblivion in the name of love!'' Notable also in that he's the only character who gets to do the last one, alongside ''Sanger''.

* In ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Gaiden'', after the group is [[spoiler:sent to the future]], Sayaka and Musashi are MIA for a long while. It's finally revealed they are being held hostage by [[Anime/GreatMazinger Archduke Gorgon]], at which point he desires to use them as human shields. Banjou Haran from Daitarn 3 coldly and honestly declares he doesn't care how many people he'll have to kill, he won't let Gorgon live in this world anymore. His delivery is so bitter and cold Gorgon ''backs down'' and hands over Sayaka, Musashi and Daitarn's support crew, no strings attached. ''Utterly amazing''.
** While we're on a Mazinger note, Space Route Mission 36 (Shin Getter Robo, Stolen!): Kouji Kabuto [[strike:[[MemeticMutation dies in lava]]]] convinces the Eisia excavation team to escape as part of his plan...then reveals to Gorgon that the plan's entirety was them escaping and him acting as their shield. Cue BolivianArmyEnding...of the first half. Then Tetsuya [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan Rocket Slaps]] him back to reason after freeing him from a Mechasaurus horde, and Mazinkaiser ensues.
* In the ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha 3'' manga, after the heroes defeat the BigBad, they're confronted by [[SmugSnake Son Ganlong]]. To defeat him, the Ide calls in all the rest of the heroes from the three previous games that didn't make it into the last one. This results in the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mk4HidVWDAg largest Giant Robot beatdowns in fictional history.]] Up to, and ''including'', '''''Two'' Sanger Zonvolts'''.
** Similarly, the ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsZ'' manga has a story where The Edel Bernal sets Zeuth up to battle...the Alpha Numbers (circa ''Alpha Gaiden''). This includes MirrorMatch moments between ''Anime/TurnAGundam'' and ''[[Anime/AfterWarGundamX Gundam X]]'', as well as having the Zeuth versions of Kouji Kabuto, and the Getter Team face off against their Alpha counterparts in Mazinkaiser and Shin Getter.
*** Especially of note is where Sanger's Thrudgelmir stops the Mugen Punch ''effortlessly with one hand''.
** In a ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Gaiden'' manga, it depicts the first part of the raid on the Earth Cradle; the part with Sanger and his Thrudgelmir. While the whole freaking battle is insanely awesome (this ''is'' Sanger), the one scene that takes the freaking cake is when Sanger has lost his Zankantou and the Thrudgelmir's arms. Mazinkaiser goes up to the Thrudgelmir to finish it off. What does Sanger do? He fucking HEADBUTTS Kaiser's head with the Thrudgelmir's horn. This maims Mazinkaiser's head off (barely missing Kouji's piloting block). It's a badass moment for both men involved. Mostly because while Sanger's slamming the horn into Mazinkaiser's pilder, Kouji is driving a Turbo Smasher Punch through Thrud's chest. AND NEITHER OF THEM STOP until both have smashed through their targets. Conclusion: Thrudgelmir with a huge hole in its torso, and Anime/MazinKaiser minus most of the pilder (and a very lucky Kouji).
*** Finally, you'd think that losing both arms and one of his Zankantous would put a damper on Sanger's ability to fight, right? '''Wrong.''' Being Sanger Fucking Zombolt, he then proceeds to conjure up his second Zankantou and wield it ''USING THE THRUDGELMIR'S TEETH.''
*** As a testament to how insanely badass this fight was, the two most iconic attacks from it (Thrudgelmir's headbutting Mazinkaiser, and its growing the Zankantou to insane proportions and trying to take out the Alphas in a single swing) filtered back down into ''Original Generations''.

* In an early mission in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Gaiden'', in a pre-battle dialogue with Shu (who is in Neo-Granzon), at the end of which, with his usual cold seriousness, Heero states that the Zero System had shown him Shu's death.

* In a ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Gaiden'' doujin, Jiron Amos takes control of the Boss Borot, and beats the crap of of a Bergelmir. What makes it even more cool is that to do this, he rips off the Borot's head, clenches it in one of the Borot's fists, and uses this not only for extra damage, but also to extend his punch range just long enough to freaking decapitate the Bergelmir. In short, Jiron Amos was channeling Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann before it even existed!
** The head-removal not only allowed for this, but let them dodge the Six Slaves attacks the Bergelmir uses "BOSS BOROT IS A MAN!"

* Mazinkaiser / Shin Getter Robo scenario from ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Gaiden''. While one route involves Kouji and company going toe-to-toe with a [[spoiler: General Bat]]-piloted Shin Getter Robo to block a Stoner Sunshine, the other route was more epic. Namely, the Getter Team decides to go balls to the wall, and tanks the Stoner Sunshine with Getter G, ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_G-4tE0-ojc#t=3m15s using the energy to Shine Spark]] [[spoiler: General Bat]] into submission.''

* 'SRW @3'. During the Anime/GaoGaiGar Final storyline, everybody was under the influence of the 11 Lords of Sol's chemicals, causing them to feel relaxed to the point where they don't care about anything, even if Guy is getting his ass handed to him by Palpelapa(or however you spell it). Some people were immune to this though, the GGG mechs (who were switched off), Hiroshi Jeeg (who's a cyborg), Rei (who's an angel/human hybrid) and the Virtual On guys (fourth wall breakers and ''maybe'' robots themselves). But one person was not only immune to these chemicals but actually manages to get the rest of the group to snap out it.....with his rock music! His name? Nekki Basara of 'Macross 7'! Why could he resist the chemical? Uh....because he's too hotblooded I guess.
** Actually, Basara resisting the stuff may be because he has [[spoiler: the Anima Spiritia]]. Depending on your perspective, that might as well translate into "too HotBlooded."
** Basara gets another moment of awesome during the Information High level. [[spoiler: Sharon Apple]] had already screwed over your team by effectively nullifying and locking all unit abilities and seishins. [[LuckBasedMission After barely killing a few Ghost X-9's]], he shows up, plays "Holy Lonely Light", and suddenly your team is charged with so much HotBlood the Battle 7 is free[[spoiler: from Sharon Apple and ZAFT's control]], and you team is back to normal, and much BadAss ensues.

* General Bat gets his in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Gaiden'' by fighting the Preventers/Irregulars in Shin Getter Robo, despite the fact even sitting in the pilot seat is slowly killing him despite the use of a device to lessen the getter rays effects on him but shin getter still emits so much getter energy that it is still harming him, but he [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_G-4tE0-ojc&feature=relmfu doesn't give a shit]] as long as he gets to take the Getter Team with him, and manages to survive ''point blank getter ray poisoning'' afterwards so he can make a defiant [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHzDtoh743g last stand]] in front of Machineland when you have to fight him and [[ThatOneBoss Emperor Gore]], pretty much establishing himself as [[CrazyAwesome insanely]] [[{{Determinator}} determined]] {{badass}}.

* Speaking of moments of awesome, there's one person in the entire cast of ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Gaiden'' that has possibly the most awesome moments in the entirety of Alpha Gaiden manga, rivalling Sanger AND Jiron listed above AND one of the best contender for the best in the whole franchise. That man's name? Tetsuya Tsurugi from Anime/GreatMazinger. Its a story depicting the prequel of Alpha Gaiden serving as the moment before Egret Fehu does his job at the Earth Cradle. What does Tetsuya do? Opening with the classic BigDamnHeroes Thunder Break to save the crippled base defense line of Gespenst and Valkyrie Squad, then, after making a BadassBoast that he dont care about anything, his job is to give a trashing to the enemy, he singlehandedly handles a whole Army of Mycenian Dragoon Squad resulting in a cracked and crippled Great. Then Ryuuma Shogun come only to get handled by a Thunder Break and a point blank all or nothing stab with Mass produced Photonic Beam Saber with a little help from Venus A.
** This feat is so awesome that SANGER ZONVOLT himself stares at his prowess in such an expression that signifies fear. You read it right. Sanger motherfucking Zonvolt himself FEARED Tetsuya Tsurugi.
** To quote what Egret Fehu said:
---> '''Egret Fehu:''' "Right, just like all of you. One born raised for the sake of fighting... Humanity's own battle beast..."
---> '''Egret Fehu:''' "Maybe he represents the soldier people have sought to obtain up until now..."
