** Also, [[spoiler:[[MobileSuitGundamZZ Kyara Soon]] and [[MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory Anavel Gato]], who are locked to different ending routes. Additionally, Kyara can’t be recruited if you chose to keep Sayla, as accessing that ending route (as well as a third where neither she nor Gato join) requires you to clear two missions that are only open to you if you recruited Quattro earlier (by contrast, Gato and Quattro [[AvertedTrope CAN be on the same team]].]]

[[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory Anavel Gato and Karius]] also show up here, though Gato will join you later as an EleventhHourRanger on this path.]]

* FixFic: Minor instance of this - if [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Kamille Bidan]] defeats Scirroco in their final battle, [[spoiler:Scirroco will do his usual MindRape on Kamille]] a la ''Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam''. However, the instant Kamille hears the voice of [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Four Murasame]], he snaps right out of it.

** [[spoiler:[[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Sayla Mass]] also becomes this if the player meets the requirements for recruiting [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Char Aznable]] (in his PaperThinDisguise as [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Quattro Bajeena]]) - sadly, there's no sibling team-up beyond one stage. The reason given in-game is that, being Char’s sister, she recognizes “Quattro” the moment she sees him and she admits that she can’t bring herself to fight alongside her brother (at least at the moment; she reappears as a SecretCharacter in ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWars4 F Final]]'' having seemingly put those issues aside). Unlike Ryu and Hayato, Sayla has rather good stat gains and a decent Spirit Command set]].

* SpotlightStealingSquad: In a rare [=SRW=] instance, ''Gundam'' fans were totally geeked out of their minds by being able to recruit [[spoiler:Anavel Gato]], kill both [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Kycilia Zabi and Gihren Zabi]] (with the added bonus of her OhCrap reaction to [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Quattro Bajeena]] leveling his weapons in her direction), and being able to repeatedly beat the piss out of most of the ''Gundam'' {{Big Bad}}s. Also, most of the dumbest character FaceHeelTurn moments (like [[spoiler:[[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Reccoa Londe allying with Scirroco]]]]) can be averted or given a LampshadeHanging on its sheer idiocy ([[spoiler:Quattro tells Reccoa her defection over him not showing her affection is pure bullshit]]). The death of [[spoiler:[[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Sleggar Law]]]] is totally avoidable, and the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory GP-03 Dendrobium Orchid/Stamen]] is obtained by means that don't force [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory General Eiphar Synapse]] to a [[spoiler:RedemptionEqualsDeath]] event. Also, the depressing endings of ''Zeta Gundam'', ''Gundam ZZ'' and ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack'' are entirely averted.

** [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Ryu Jose and Hayato Kobayashi]] wind up only being around for the early parts of the game before they’re both transferred to the ''Radish'' along with [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Four Murasame]] (who herself is qualifies for this trope [[SecretCharacter if you don’t recruit her permanently later]]). According to the developers, they didn't program in more than a handful of Spirit Commands for them, seeing as how they're always going to leave. Their stats seem to emphasize that the player should focus on using other characters.
