History Roleplay / SuperRobotWarsUnlimitedGeneration

* GuestStarPartyMember- [[spoiler: During the GurrenLagann finale, [[GetterRobo Ryouma Nagare]] returned with the Tengen Toppa Getter Emperor.]]

* ShoutOut - if it's a mecha series and not actually in the game, someone has probably referenced it. Witness [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji's]] predilection for [[GunBuster Inazuma Kicks]] or [[OriginalGeneration Shiro's]] anything ever. Hell, even stuff that HAS been actually in the game gets randomly referenced - [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Asuka]] tends to use GetterRobo OVA moves when powered up by the plot.

* EarlyBirdCameo - Prior to showing up once again to serve as a boss for an upcoming ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Gundam SEED Destiny]]'' mission, [[spoiler: Cagalli stumbles into the ''[[ParallelTroubleAdventureDual Dual]]'' finale with the Akatsuki.]]

* BattleCouple (Besides the reinforcements, the ''[[ParallelTroubleAdventureDual Dual]]'' finale was staffed entirely with these. [[ThePowerOfLove Fitting.]])

* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover - Par of the course, this being ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars''. However, the finale takes it to the next level, with the Silentium fleet of enslaved thralls including units of [[{{Firefly}} the Reavers]], [[StarCraft Protoss]], [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} Orkz]], [[HeroicAge the Iron Tribe]] and [[StarControl various assorted Star Control 2 races]]. Not to mention evil duplicates of {{Gunbuster}}, [[GenesisofAquarion Aquarion]] and {{Mazinkaiser}}.

* FirstChurchOfMecha - Played with, then inverted by [[FanNickname Livejournal]] [[OriginalGeneration Original]] Chanda. Her mecha is at first believe to be Kalki, [[HinduMythology the 10th and final avatar of Vishnu]], but eventually it turns out that [[spoiler:Chanda is the Avatar. Her mecha is Devadatta, Kalki's White Horse.]]

** ''[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji Ikari]]''. Not only did he completely reject [[AssimilationPlot Instrumentality]], he ''broke Eva's laws of physics'' to save Rei from death. All because he simply cared about her so much that [[BeyondTheImpossible he didn't give a damn what limits were in his way]], including fate itself.]]

* GondorCallsForAid - the GrandFinale pulls out all the stops, complete with [[MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha Ginga, Erio, and Caro]], [[VideoGame/Disgaea2CursedMemories Rozalin and Adell]], [[{{Macross7}} the Protodeviln]], [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Shu, Lune, and the Divine Crusaders]], [[LightNovel/FullMetalPanic Leonard Testarossa]], [[DigimonTamers Rika, Takato, Henry and Jeri of the Digimon Tamers]], and even ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWars3 the previously unseen Inspectors]]'' showing up to lend a hand.

** Interestingly enough, not every series represented is a mecha anime/video game. Notable exceptions include ''DigimonTamers, Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'', and ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha''. The first two were allowed because of the game's need for players when it first opened, the last because... really, who can say ''Nanoha'' isn't /m/?

* MoodWhiplash - Several missions due to putting silly and serious canons together in the same mission. One of the best examples is [[DigimonTamers Lionheart]], which took the early episode of [[MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha Nanoha]] where a kitten finds a Jewel Seed and becomes a MegaNeko and replaced the kitten with [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter Calumon]]. Then the [[KnightOfCerebus actual]] [[SacrificialLion plot]] [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge of]] the [[GrowingTheBeard Tamers episode]] it was named for [[BreakTheCutie kicks]] [[TearJerker in]]...

** Really, this goes for ANY time that Grahf has given someone the power. This also occurred with [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Michelo Chariot]], [[DigimonTamers Beelzemon]], and, as noted below, [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Quatre in Wing Zero]].

* TookALevelInBadass - Certain characters undergo this as a result of the way the game is set up. The two best examples? [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji Ikari]] and [[DigimonTamers Jeri Kato]].

* BlindIdiotTranslation: [[{{Bangai-O}} Riki's]] [[http://bangai-o-go.livejournal.com/2341.html farewell speech]]. Played for laughs.

** [[The08thMSTeam Shiro Amada]] died so many times that during the {{Bangai-O}} finale Mrs. M summoned 'the spirit of your fallen comrade Shiro Amada' to give them advice. Everyone was very confused, except Riki. "Oh, no! Shiro! I'll never forget you! I knew the alcohol would be your downfall!"

* MadeOfIndestructium - When [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Ryuusei]] became a [[GaoGaiGar Zonder]], it was formed of mecha models and old video game consoles, including Game Boys, Super NES', NES', and one VirtualBoy. Good ol' nintendium.

* SureWhyNot - More than a few plot twists or deviations from the canons end up being thought-up on the fly during a mission. The most notable was [[spoiler:[[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Setsuna]] being shot down during the Memento Mori mission and being captured by Ali and Ribbons.]]
** Actually, while a lot of things in missions do follow this trope, the above-listed 'most notable' example was entirely preplanned. But one of many legitimate examples would be ...
** [[Anime/AfterWarGundamX Ennil]] summoning the Vaisaga during the ''Wayward Signet'' finale.
** "[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Asuka]] moves over to [[GaoGaiGar Projectile X]] and sees if the G-Stone power is compatible with Evangelions." "THE POWER OF COURAGE AIDS ALL."
** [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Tasuku]] and [[Anime/BtX Teppei]] figuring out a way to get the self-destructing ''[[SoukouNoStrain Kunrun]]'' away from the ''Hagane'' (which was replacing the ''Libertad'' at the time) without having to come onboard. How did they do this? '''Pulling the ship out of the way.''' End result: one dislocated arm, one Vivian Medlock spared from her canon death, and ''complete victory.''
** Then there was that time Axel [[KamenRider kicked a door and it exploded]].
* TheGhost - [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Amuro Ray]], and in fact the first Zeon conflict (aside from the events of The08thMSTeam), were not shown on-screen and resolved at some point during the TimeSkip. In spite of that, when he does show up, Amuro is still recognized by everyone present as a living legend.

* ActorAllusion - A common subject of jokes. Also TalkingToHimself.
** Occasionally, in memes and OOC chat, [=OCs=] alluded to their own [=PBs=]; for example, Julius suddenly and inexplicably displaying a [[VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss fear of women]], or Mila responding to "[[FreshPrettyCure Setsuna]]" by mistake.

* NamesTheSame - Shiro Hawthorne, one of the original characters, just so happens to have a mother with the name [[PhoenixWright Dahlia]].

* TheOtherDarrin - Sometimes someone will pick up a character after someone dropped them.

* TokenMinority - Parodied in the ''MightyMorphinPowerRangers''-based April Fools' joke mission, where [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Tou]][[AnArmAndALeg ji]] and [[OriginalGeneration Mila]] are drafted into the makeshift team and given robots for no other reason than that they were disabled. (The mysterious being in charge insisted upon following the formula of children's shows from TheNineties.)

* UpToeleven- Both the IC mentality of the GDF, and even extends [=OoCly=] to missions. Consider: the mods managed to make [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion End of Evangelion]] ''even weirder''.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen - OriginalCharacter Mila, an engineer with no actual canon events of her own, was actually a supporting character in a canon thought up by [=RPer=] Jisu, and included in the RP rather than the main protagonist simply because of the abundance in original canons already. What's more, [[CuttingOffTheBranches she wasn't even taken from her own route]], but from Ruby Blue, where she had the least significance to the plot.

* BroughtDownToNormal - The eventual fate of [[{{Disgaea}} Laharl]], who attempted to [[NoFourthWall hack the game]] to the point of being omnipotent, but in the end dropped his level down to a measly 3. More than enough for ''Prinnies'' to take him in a fight.

* GondorCallsForAid - the GrandFinale pulls out all the stops, complete with [[MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha Ginga, Erio, and Caro]], [[{{Disgaea}} Rozalin and Adell]], [[{{Macross7}} the Protodeviln]], [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Shu, Lune, and the Divine Crusaders]], [[LightNovel/FullMetalPanic Leonard Testarossa]], [[DigimonTamers Rika, Takato, Henry and Jeri of the Digimon Tamers]], and even ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWars3 the previously unseen Inspectors]]'' showing up to lend a hand.

** Interestingly enough, not every series represented is a mecha anime/video game. Notable exceptions include ''DigimonTamers, {{Disgaea}}'', and ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha''. The first two were allowed because of the game's need for players when it first opened, the last because... really, who can say ''Nanoha'' isn't /m/?

* NoodleIncident - Subverted with the infamous [[Anime/TurnAGundam Cake Incident]] involving [[{{Disgaea}} Mid-Boss]]. Although those present don't ''like'' talking about it, the events of said incident are archived and occurred "onscreen", so to speak.

* RuleOfDrama - Averted. More than a few missions will feature a serious plot event and a more humorous one (usually {{Disgaea}}) at the same time.

[[http://community.livejournal.com/srw_unlimited Here.]] SuperRobotWars in RP form. All the characters are members of the Galaxy Defense Force and fighting to protect the Earth from [[EverythingTryingToKillYou all of the original series' enemies]]. Unique among Livejournal games in that a significant portion of the gameplay was in AIM Chat-based "missions" - between 1 and 3 per week; this feature was kept for the offshoot mecha_dressing and the planned SpiritualSuccessor SuperRobotWarsUnlimitedGenerationAlpha. In addition to every trope ever from the series represented...

* AceCustom - Regularly happened with characters getting new upgrades for their machines post-series (or sometimes just late in their story), such as Duo's [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Deathscythe Spirit]], Axel's [[SuperRobotWarsAdvance Soulgain Mugen]], and Patrick's [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Dynames Tau]] accompanied by a number of automated grunts.

** Also applied to mecha, with the game's willingness to use obscure units, [=MSVs=] (especially from SEED), and units that haven't actually appeared yet in the canons the game ''supposedly'' uses, like [[SuperRobotWars Banpreios]], [[LightNovel/FullMetalPanic Laevatein]], and [[SuperRobotWars Shin RyuKoOh]].

* AlmightyJanitor - [[SuperRobotWars Axel Almer (silly version)]] is the base's janitor, despite being one of the more powerful fighters both in and out of his mech.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking - [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Gilbert Durandal]] showed this in freaking ''spades'' in the the Destiny finale, using a [[CanonImmigrant Gundam from a CE fanfiction]] to beat the likes of Kira, Shinn, Luna, Cagalli, [[MacrossFrontier Alto]], [[SuperRobotWarsAdvance Lamia]], and [[OriginalGeneration Shiro]] left and right and coming close to beating them single-handedly.

** Which was followed up by a GunshipRescue by [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ the Neo Argama]], Battle 7, the Gargantua, [[MartianSuccessorNadesico the Nadesico]], [[MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha the Asura]], AND [[SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration the Kurogane]] all opening fire on Totus Mundi. [[WhyWontYouDie It kept fighting.]]

** And let's not forget the [[SuperRobotWars Soulgain]]. It gets trashed on just about every single mission Axel sorties in. But thanks to its regenerative abilities, it's usually good to go again by the next mission.
* BrickJoke - When [[SuperRobotWars Masaki]] was dropped, [[RealLifeWritesThePlot the excuse used]] was that [[NoSenseOfDirection he had gotten lost]] on his way to [[http://duo-death-god.livejournal.com/5294.html pick up a pizza]]. Two and a half years later, [[http://cosmo-nova.livejournal.com/1232.html he returns]]... ''and still has the pizza with him''.

* BroadStrokes - [[SuperRobotWarsAdvance Lamia and Axel's]] canon incorporates a mix of both the plot from SuperRobotWarsAdvance and SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration.

* DemotedToExtra - Inverted with [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Auel]] in contrast to his treatment in SuperRobotWarsK and VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsL and then taken a little bit further. Whereas in those games, he's only around for cutscenes (if even that!), he's managed to survive for quite a while, even outliving Stella.

* GondorCallsForAid - the GrandFinale pulls out all the stops, complete with [[MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha Ginga, Erio, and Caro]], [[{{Disgaea}} Rozalin and Adell]], [[{{Macross7}} the Protodeviln]], [[SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Shu, Lune, and the Divine Crusaders]], [[LightNovel/FullMetalPanic Leonard Testarossa]], [[DigimonTamers Rika, Takato, Henry and Jeri of the Digimon Tamers]], and even ''[[SuperRobotWars3 the previously unseen Inspectors]]'' showing up to lend a hand.

* KilledOffForReal - Out of player characters, there was [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Neil Dylandy]], [[SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Captain Daitetsu]], [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Emma Sheen]], [[OriginalGeneration Connor O'Tormey]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Char Aznable]], and [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Kittan Bachika]].

** [[Anime/AfterWarGundamX Jamil]] and [[SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Kusuha]] made inedibly bad "health cookies" and [[http://sunglssatnite.livejournal.com/2013.html shared them around the base]]. For extra irony, [[DarthWiki/MirrorEyes the one person]] well-known for liking disgusting food (she not only ate Shiro's non-apple cuisine, she combined it to make it ''worse'') got one of the only good cookies, with similar results to the rest of the base.

* LetsPlay - Yes, there is an LP treating this like a video game. Started by Prof (mod, plays [[LightNovel/FullMetalPanic Sousuke Sagara]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Patrick Colasour]], [[MacrossFrontier Klan Klang]], and [[OriginalCharacter Sho Musashi]]), and continued by Chris (plays [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Simon]], [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Domon Kasshu]], [[SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Tetsuya Onodera]], [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Kamille Bidan]], [[Anime/AfterWarGundamX Garrod Ran]], and [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Athrun]] [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Zala]]).

* MadeOfIndestructium - When [[SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Ryuusei]] became a [[GaoGaiGar Zonder]], it was formed of mecha models and old video game consoles, including Game Boys, Super NES', NES', and one VirtualBoy. Good ol' nintendium.

* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover - Par of the course, this being ''SuperRobotWars''. However, the finale takes it to the next level, with the Silentium fleet of enslaved thralls including units of [[{{Firefly}} the Reavers]], [[StarCraft Protoss]], [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} Orkz]], [[HeroicAge the Iron Tribe]] and [[StarControl various assorted Star Control 2 races]]. Not to mention evil duplicates of {{Gunbuster}}, [[GenesisofAquarion Aquarion]] and {{Mazinkaiser}}.

* NonPlayerCharacter - Excluding enemies, the game has [[OriginalGeneration General Hauwsr]], [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Bright]] [[CharsCounterattack Noa]], [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Gendo Ikari]], and [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Lordgenome]]. It used to also have [[SuperRobotWars Ingram Prisken and Lee Linjun]], but both have since pulled {{Face Heel Turn}}s.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure - Generally every NPC whose name isn't [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Gendo]] [[TheChessmaster Ikari]] or [[SuperRobotWars Lee]] [[TheNeidermeyer Linjun]].

* RevengeBeforeReason - [[OriginalGeneration Anguis]]. He wants to inflict as much pain upon [[SuperRobotWars Bullet]] as possible for killing his lover to the point that he focuses exclusively on him. He can afford to, though -- his mech is ''tough''.
** To put this in perspective: It had a [[LightNovel/FullMetalPanic Lambda Driver that overpowered the Arbalest's]], and it withstood a team attack made by the [[SuperRobotWars Raikou Kai, the Grungust Type-3]], the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Impulse]], and [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Burning Gundam]].

* ShipTease - The aforementioned [[SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Katina]]''/''[[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Viral]] CrackPairing counts, but the main source of ship tease has actually been [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Duo Maxwell]]. He's been teased with [[LightNovel/FullMetalPanic Kaname Chidori]] and [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Asuka Langley Soryu]], but [=OOCly=], everyone knows nothing would ever come of those due to having their own love interests in the game. [[{{Tsundere}} Given the kind of girls those two are]], the jury is out on whether he has awful luck or he's getting off easy.

* SuperRobotWars

** [[SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Tasuku]] and [[Anime/BtX Teppei]] figuring out a way to get the self-destructing ''[[SoukouNoStrain Kunrun]]'' away from the ''Hagane'' (which was replacing the ''Libertad'' at the time) without having to come onboard. How did they do this? '''Pulling the ship out of the way.''' End result: one dislocated arm, one Vivian Medlock spared from her canon death, and ''complete victory.''

* WelcomeBackTraitor - A SuperRobotWars tradition! It worked out better for some characters than others, though...

** However, most triumphant example in the RP belongs to none other than ''[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji]]'' ''[[PrecisionFStrike fucking]]'' ''[[TookALevelInBadass Ikari]]''. [[spoiler: Not only did he completely reject [[AssimilationPlot Instrumentality]], he ''broke Eva's laws of physics'' to save Rei from death. All because he simply cared about her so much that [[BeyondTheImpossible he didn't give a damn what limits were in his way]], including fate itself.]]

* VillageBicycle - A literal case of this. Certain machines were borrowed or used by people who never did use them in the original canon, if they were even around at all. This has happened to [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED the Strike and Aegis]], [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Gurren]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Wing Gundam]], and [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 the 0-Raiser, GN-Arms, and Gundam Dynames]], among other examples.

* CreepyDoll - [[SoukouNoStrain Emily]], according to [[NeonGenesisEvangelion Asuka]]. No one was surprised.

* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan - Has happened quite a few times, but as [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Bright]] is an NPC, he wasn't responsible. The most famous instance was [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Simon]] slugging [[NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji Ikari]] in the face for trying to fight alone.

* NonPlayerCharacter - Excluding enemies, the game has [[OriginalGeneration General Hauwsr]], [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Bright]] [[CharsCounterattack Noa]], [[NeonGenesisEvangelion Gendo Ikari]], and [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Lordgenome]]. It used to also have [[SuperRobotWars Ingram Prisken and Lee Linjun]], but both have since pulled {{Face Heel Turn}}s.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure - Generally every NPC whose name isn't [[NeonGenesisEvangelion Gendo]] [[TheChessmaster Ikari]] or [[SuperRobotWars Lee]] [[TheNeidermeyer Linjun]].

** However, most triumphant example in the RP belongs to none other than ''[[NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji]]'' ''[[PrecisionFStrike fucking]]'' ''[[TookALevelInBadass Ikari]]''.

** "[[NeonGenesisEvangelion Asuka]] moves over to [[GaoGaiGar Projectile X]] and sees if the G-Stone power is compatible with Evangelions." "THE POWER OF COURAGE AIDS ALL."

* UpToeleven- Both the IC mentality of the GDF, and even extends [=OoCly=] to missions. Consider: the mods managed to make [[NeonGenesisEvangelion End of Evangelion]] ''even weirder''.

* GratuitousLatin - Silentium, full stop. Individual Original canons also gave us Gratuitous Hebrew and Surprisingly Good Sanskrit.

** In a more literal sense, [[BetterThanCanon what they're doing to]] [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Destiny itself.]]

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs - [[OriginalGeneration Hildebrandsleid]] was made of this. Hildebrand was a WeirdnessMagnet; the things that tried to steal it include a sporting and gentlemanly swordfighting Godzilla, origami dinosaurs with 'laminate' armor, [[Anime/YuGiOh a giant laser-shooting, card-game-playing pyramid]], and [[WidgetSeries a fire-breathing totem pole held in the mouth of a tiger shark held up by a bear standing on a bouncy ball resting on the back of an elephant that was riding a tricycle.]]
** And then for the finale they fought Cthulhu. Oh, I'm sorry. Msplld Cthulu.

* GondorCallsForAid - the GrandFinale pulls out all the stops, complete with [[MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha Ginga, Erio, and Caro]], [[{{Disgaea}} Rozalin and Adell]], [[{{Macross7}} the Protodeviln]], [[SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Shu, Lune, and the Divine Crusaders]], [[FullMetalPanic Leonard Testarossa]], [[DigimonTamers Rika, Takato, Henry and Jeri of the Digimon Tamers]], and even ''[[SuperRobotWars3 the previously unseen Inspectors]]'' showing up to lend a hand.

** During the Disgaea ''post''-finale mission, [[FullMetalPanic Chidori Kaname]] showed up mainly to translate Bonta-kun's words for everyone [[LampshadeHanging while complaining that Sousuke had all the time in the world to fix that defect.]]

* LetsPlay - Yes, there is an LP treating this like a video game. Started by Prof (mod, plays [[FullMetalPanic Sousuke Sagara]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Patrick Colasour]], [[MacrossFrontier Klan Klang]], and [[OriginalCharacter Sho Musashi]]), and continued by Chris (plays [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Simon]], [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Domon Kasshu]], [[SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Tetsuya Onodera]], [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Kamille Bidan]], [[Anime/AfterWarGundamX Garrod Ran]], and [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Athrun]] [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Zala]]).

** To put this in perspective: It had a [[FullMetalPanic Lambda Driver that overpowered the Arbalest's]], and it withstood a team attack made by the [[SuperRobotWars Raikou Kai, the Grungust Type-3]], the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Impulse]], and [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Burning Gundam]].

* GoingDownWithTheShip - Carrie, Ray's CapuletCounterpart. Her RedemptionEqualsDeath was justified in OOC chat by the statement that she'd gone too far to pull a believable HeelFaceTurn.

** However, the most recent (and to date, most triumphant) example in the RP belongs to none other than ''[[NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji]]'' ''[[PrecisionFStrike fucking]]'' ''[[TookALevelInBadass Ikari]]''. [[spoiler: Not only did he completely reject [[AssimilationPlot Instrumentality]], he ''broke Eva's laws of physics'' to save Rei from death. All because he simply cared about her so much that [[BeyondTheImpossible he didn't give a damn what limits were in his way]], including fate itself.]]

** Occasionally, in memes and OOC chat, [=OCs=] alluded to their own [=PBs=]; for example, Julius suddenly and inexplicably displaying a [[TalesOfTheAbyss fear of women]], or Mila responding to "[[FreshPrettyCure Setsuna]]" by mistake.

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs - [[OriginalGeneration Hildebrandsleid]] was made of this. Hildebrand was a WeirdnessMagnet; the things that tried to steal it include a sporting and gentlemanly swordfighting Godzilla, origami dinosaurs with 'laminate' armor, [[YuGiOh a giant laser-shooting, card-game-playing pyramid]], and [[WidgetSeries a fire-breathing totem pole held in the mouth of a tiger shark held up by a bear standing on a bouncy ball resting on the back of an elephant that was riding a tricycle.]]

* AscendedMeme - [=*bans Deus*=], Deus being a former player, became MemeticMutation after many shenanigans in the [=OoC=] chat. Then, when the final battle on the Silentium homeworld came around, the heroes discovered that the final boss was a machine named the Deus Imperator. How was it destroyed? By [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Simon]] combining Gurren-Lagann with {{MegasXLR}} and {{GaoGaiGar}}...then crushing it into light using a drill-augmented Goldion Crusher. In other words? ''The GDF dropped the banhammer on Deus.''

** Which was followed up by a {{GunshipRescue}} by [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ the Neo Argama]], Battle 7, the Gargantua, [[MartianSuccessorNadesico the Nadesico]], [[MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha the Asura]], AND [[SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration the Kurogane]] all opening fire on Totus Mundi. [[WhyWontYouDie It kept fighting.]]

** During Braves! Death At Dawn!, not only did the {{GaoGaiGar}} narrator talk up the GGG's last resort, 'the miracle machine, Projectile X,' but in addition Axel responded with "I like what that mysterious voice was saying. Let's trust it."

* BroadStrokes - [[SuperRobotWarsAdvance Lamia and Axel]]'s canon incorporates a mix of both the plot from SuperRobotWarsAdvance and SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration.

* DefrostingIceQueen - [[OriginalGeneration Shiro H]]'s character arc starts as a GenderFlip of this. ...Basically. ...Plus occasional bouts of insanity, taking the EnemyWithout in as a SplitPersonality, and lots of model robots.

* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover - Par of the course, this being ''SuperRobotWars''. However, the finale takes it to the next level, with the Silentium fleet of enslaved thralls including units of [[{{Firefly}} the Reavers]], [[StarCraft Protoss]], [[{{Warhammer40000}} Orkz]], [[HeroicAge the Iron Tribe]] and [[StarControl various assorted Star Control 2 races]]. Not to mention evil duplicates of {{Gunbuster}}, [[GenesisofAquarion Aquarion]] and {{Mazinkaiser}}.

* MoodWhiplash - Several missions due to putting silly and serious canons together in the same mission. One of the best examples is [[DigimonTamers Lionheart]], which took the early episode of [[MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha Nanoha]] where a kitten finds a Jewel Seed and becomes a MegaNeko and replaced the kitten with [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter Calumon]]. Then the [[KnightOfCerebus actual]] [[SacrificialLion plot]] [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge of]] the [[GrowingTheBeard Tamers episode]] it was named for [[BreakTheCutie kicks]] [[TearJerker in]]...

** Subverted by [[OriginalGeneration Hildebrand]], whose nigh invincibility was due to being part of a {{StableTimeLoop}}. The universe just wouldn't let the thing break until it was supposed to. Hildebrand Kaiser was basically {{MadeOfIndestructium}}.

** The second time, though, was to determine that their shield would hold. Needless to say, it didn't. [[spoiler: It was pierced by [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Kittan's]] DyingMomentOfAwesome.]]

** And then the ''TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' [[http://community.livejournal.com/srw_unlimited/296431.html finale itself]]. It managed to be EVEN MORE EPIC THAN LAGANN-HEN.

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs - [[OriginalGeneration Hildebrandsleid]] was made of this. Hildebrand was a {{WeirdnessMagnet}}; the things that tried to steal it include a sporting and gentlemanly swordfighting Godzilla, origami dinosaurs with 'laminate' armor, [[YuGiOh a giant laser-shooting, card-game-playing pyramid]], and [[WidgetSeries a fire-breathing totem pole held in the mouth of a tiger shark held up by a bear standing on a bouncy ball resting on the back of an elephant that was riding a tricycle.]]

** However, the most recent (and to date, most triumphant) example in the RP belongs to none other than ''[[NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji]]'' ''[[PrecisionFStrike fucking]]'' ''[[TookALevelInBadass Ikari]]''. [[spoiler: Not only did he completely reject [[AssimilationPlot Instrumentality]], he ''broke Eva's laws of physics'' to save Rei from death. All because he simply cared about her so much that [[BeyondTheImpossible he didn't give a damn what limits were in his way]], literally including fate itself.]]

** And [[BeyondTheImpossible it gets better]]: THIS WAS NOT PLANNED.

* BeyondTheImpossible - Both the IC mentality of the GDF, and even extends [=OoCly=] to missions. Consider: the mods managed to make [[NeonGenesisEvangelion End of Evangelion]] ''even weirder''.
** And then they gave the [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Anti-Spiral]] ''even more powers.'' And this was ''before'' the final battle.
** And then the ''TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' [[http://community.livejournal.com/srw_unlimited/296431.html finale itself]]. It managed to be EVEN MORE EPIC THAN LAGANN-HEN.
** And THEN came the ''TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' bonus mission, which managed to MATCH the finale in terms of awesome. How it was done: [[spoiler:Simon vs. Captain [=GARlock=].]]

* GuestStarPartyMember- [[spoiler: During the GurrenLagann finale, [[GetterRobo Ryouma Nagare]] returned with the [[BeyondTheImpossible Tengen Toppa Getter Emperor]].]]

* DemotedToExtra - Inverted with [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Auel]] in contrast to his treatment in SuperRobotWarsK and SuperRobotWarsL and then taken a little bit further. Whereas in those games, he's only around for cutscenes (if even that!), he's managed to survive for quite a while, even outliving Stella.

** Near the end of the recent Earth Cradle mission, things were looking good. The only guy left to worry about was Archibald in a fairly basic Ashsaber while everyone else, though worn out, would have plenty of strength to beat him.
