18	!4/F/F Final Protagonists
19	[[folder:In General]]
20	''Super Robot Wars 4'' introduces a mechanic to the series wherein the protagonist is [[FeaturelessProtagonist highly]] [[CharacterCustomization customizable]]. While players cannot change every facet of them visually, they can select between eight pre-fabricated portrait sets, four per gender, and assign a personality to them that influences what they say and how they interact with others in the game (these being, in summary, "[[HotBlooded hot blooded]]", "cool & nihilistic", "[[HandsomeLech intellectual flirt]]" and "slightly oddball"). Each appearance also has a "default" character profile attached to it, if players don't want to fiddle with a bunch of options and simply want to jump straight into the game. Irm and Ring are taken from these profiles and expanded into full characters for ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration''.
21
22	Worth noting is ''only'' Irm and Ring have been adapted to date: unlike the ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha'' originals, where all eight of them were fleshed out for ''Original Generation'', the other six profiles in ''4'' have never been seen outside of ''4'' and its related products, which explains why the other entries are so comparatively barren.

32	-->''"[[RuleOfCool You may have the skill... but I'm better looking]]!"''
33
34	Irmgard Kazahara is the son of [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGenerationOthersAndWalkingSpoilers Jonathan Kazahara]], a prolific mechanical designer at the "Tesla-Leicht Institute". A mechanical designer himself, Irm is known more in ''Original Generation'' as the pilot of the {{Transforming\|Mecha}} SuperRobot "Grungust". His easy-going, ladies man attitude hides his competence as a skilled AcePilot.
35
36	Irm is a slightly different person in ''Alpha'' and ''Original Generation'' compared to his debut appearance due to MythologyGag: in these games, he enters the plot as an older, veteran pilot rather than the point-of-view rookie he was during his debut. In ''4'', he is the default archetype of the "intellectual HandsomeLech" and this carries over into his future appearances, except it's informed by at least one very messy breakup and quite a lot more actual experience with the opposite sex. Across all appearances, Irm is paired with the cool, nihilistic Ring Mao, who in ''4'' is a bit of a {{Tsundere}} for him, and in other settings, is his ex-girlfriend. Despite being technically estranged from one another, the way they bicker LikeAnOldMarriedCouple makes it clear they still care for one another, and when they can actually put aside their differences, they make quite a team.
37
38	Tropes associated with Irm:
39	[[hardline]]
40	* AgeLift: He was 19 in the Classic games, but was changed to 28 in ''Alpha'', complete with an updated design. ''Original Generation'' went with the latter age.
41	* BraggingThemeTune: ''Grungust Zan!!''; unfortunately, [[LongSongShortScene it has yet to actually appear in the games]].
42	* CantCatchUp: The Grungust isn't the monster it was back in ''Original Generation'' once ''Original Generation 2'' rolls around, mostly due to it being {{overshadowed\|ByAwesome}} by other super robots like the "Dynamic General Guardians" and the "Choukijin". Fortunately, Irm redesigns the Grungust just in time for the ''Second Original Generation'' into the "Grungust Kai" ("Custom") from ''Alpha'', which subverts this and puts it back onto one of the top units early in the game.
43	* CaptainErsatz: Particularly in ''Original Generation'', Irm and the Grungust have a few similarities with [[Anime/{{Daitarn 3}} Banjou Haran and the Daitarn 3]], and he ends up fulfilling a few of the narrative roles Banjou often takes up in his many [=SRW=] appearances (but can't do in ''Original Generation'', for obvious reasons). However, the Grungust's ChestBlaster, EyeBeams and RocketPunch are more comparable to ''Anime/MazingerZ''.
44	* ChestBlaster: Grungust's "Final Beam" and Grungust Kai's "Ultimate Beam"
45	* ChivalrousPervert: He'll hit on many girls, but he's got a lot of standards with regards to flirting. For instance, he doesn't hit on girls that are crying on either the outside or inside, [[spoiler:as proven with this regarding [[Characters/MasouKishin Tytti Noorbuck]] when she's in a near HeroicBSOD after recovering the Zamzeed in the ''Second Original Generation'']].
46	* CoolSword: Grungust and Grungust Kai's ''Keitou Ragouken'' ("Calamity Sword").
47	* EyeBeams: Grungust's "Eye Solid Laser"
48	* FailedASpotCheck: Can't recognize Latooni in her cosplay outfit the first time he sees her.
49	-->'''Irm''': All right, Latooni. We'll just have to hang in there until the rest of our buddies gets their rears in gear.
50	-->'''Latooni''':...Roger...
51	-->'''Irm''': Wait, who's piloting that ?
52	-->'''Latooni''':...Um
53	-->'''Irm''': Miss, um... This is a silly question, but have we met somewhere before?
54	-->'''Latooni''': Every day, sir...
55	-->'''Irm''': Hmm. I make it a rule not to forget a pretty face. Can I have a name, sweetie?
56	-->'''Latooni''': Latooni Subbota, sir.
57	-->'''Irm''': BWAH ?!
58	* HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: His conversations with [[MadScientist Jonathan]] in ''Original Generation'' imply Jonathan wasn't that great of a father.
59	* {{Leitmotif}}: "Time to Come"
60	* LovableSexManiac: Carries a black book around and dates girls between a certain age, yet this doesn't seem to faze any of the original female cast.
61	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Pretty much nobody refers to him as Irmgard.
62	* NightmareFetishist: In one save-quit intermission dialogue for the ''Second Original Generation'', Irm expresses interest at and wouldn't mind hitting on [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsDestiny Umbra]], who is always covered in full clothes with [[GlowingEyes glowing yellow eyes]] and [[EvilSoundsDeep has a voice comparable to]] {{Satan}}.
63	* PinkGirlBlueBoy: Literally with Ring, even with matching hair colors to boot.
64	* ThePowerOfLove: Played with:
65	** Though he may carry the "Love" Spirit Command and can cast it for ''half'' the normal cost upon achieving certain requirements, it feels odd he's not actually in a relationship with Ring anymore in ''Original Generation''...
66	** However, the hidden "[[RelationshipValues love bonus]]" game-play mechanic places the two at a much higher tier, moreso than other couples.
67	* RocketPunch: Grungust's "Boost Knuckle" and Grungust Kai's "Hyper Boost Knuckle"
68	* SeriesMascot: The fact he's one of two originals from ''4'' carried over into another game and being the more accessible of the two via game-play strongly suggests Irm's meant to be taken as the "canon" protagonist of ''4''. This has reached the point where he, in his ''4/F'' appearance, was chosen to be the crossover representative for the classic games in ''SRW 30''.
69	* ShipperOnDeck: Joins in with [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsCompact2 Excellen Browning]] on some of her schemes.
70	* ShoutOut: In the ''Second Original Generation'', there's a chance Irm will utter the phrase ''Sora wo miro, hoshi wo miro...ttene'' ("Look at the sky, look at the star...just kidding") when using the Grungust's Calamity Blade. This is a reference to the opening song lyrics from ''Series/UltramanTaro''.
71	* StartMyOwn: At the end of the ''Second Original Generation'', [[spoiler:Irm contemplates making his own team in the same vein as the ATX and SRX Team. For starters, he's recruited [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Ryoto Hikawa, Rio Mei Long]] and [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGenerationSteelDragonBattleGroup Ing Egret]]]].

76	[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ring.png]]
77	[[caption-width-right:225:Ring in ''Original Generation'']]
78	-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/MegumiOgata
79
80	Ring Mao is one of the eight selectable originals and represents the "cool & nihilistic" archetype. In ''Alpha'' and ''Original Generation'', she's portrayed as the Chief Executive Officer of "Mao Industries", a HumongousMecha manufacturing company and developer located at "Cerevis City" on the moon, but can easily transition back into the seat of the [[{{Expy}} Gundam-like]] "Huckebein" and take names in defense of her company. She has a rocky relationship with Irm: in their ''4'' incarnation, although close, she hates his constant flirting; for her ''Alpha''/''Original Generation'' counterpart, it's clear Irm crossed a line at some point in the backstory and she left him, leaving the two distant, though they still work great as a team when needed and, deep down, trust each other.
81
82	Tropes associated with Ring:
83	[[hardline]]
84	* AgeLift: As with Irm, she's 19 in the Classic games and 28 in the ''Alpha'' and ''Original Generation'' games.
85	* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: A rare, non-military example, being CEO of a major mecha manufacturer, although ''Alpha'' and ''Original Generation'' does hint she was originally a member of the PTX Team, hence, the origins of her piloting skills.
86	* BerserkButton: When they were dating, she saw Irm having tea with a female employee; let's just say the result for Irm was NOT pretty...
87	* CordonBleughChef: In ''4'', Ring has a habit of experimenting with weird food combinations like mayonnaise curry.
88	* DemotedToExtra: Ever since ''Original Generation 2'', Ring has yet to rejoin the playable roster. Justified when she's tied up with her duties as the CEO of Mao Industries. [[spoiler:Made more unlikely for her to reappear in a Huckebein for future events, given the entire destruction of the Huckebein series in the ''Second Original Generation'']].
89	* FlawedPrototype: Played with; in ''Original Generation'', the original Huckebein 008R had the Tronium Engine installed, created through research of the element Tronium from the crashed Meteor-3. First testing of it led to the "Vanishing Trooper Incident" that killed all but three people[[note]]Irm, [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Raidiese F. Branstein and Kirk Hamill]][[/note]]. The Huckebein 008L, powered by the "Black Hole Engine" [[spoiler:given to Earth researchers by the Zuvorg Alliance as a goodwill offering]], was sealed away in response to the disaster. It was let out from storage because Ring needed to use it and so the Inspectors cannot seize it when they invaded Mao Industries. Despite [[spoiler:Wendolo revealing the incident was punishment for Earth scientists opting to ''not'' use the Black Hole Engine for the Huckebein series]], Ring still trusts the 008L.
90	* {{Leitmotif}}: "Time to Come"
91	* NoodleIncident: For her ''Alpha''/''Original Generation'' incarnations concerning her break-up and continued estrangement with Irm. Neither one of them ever elaborates on what exactly happened, but whatever "it" was, it was sufficient for Ring to feel conflicted about having any further contact with Irm outside of anything strictly business (despite it being obvious in a few places she still has feelings for him), and for Irm to feel as though it is his fault and is simultaneously something he can't just apologize for and make better. (Some among the fandom are a bit afraid that whatever "it" was/is, [[MyGreatestFailure it might explain the absence]] of the other protagonists...)
92	* PinkGirlBlueBoy: Although ''Alpha''/''Original Generation'' Ring is an atypical "pink girl". "Classic" Ring was closer but was still somewhat snarkier than the stock type.
93	* RetiredBadass: ''Original Generation'' only, but boy, does she come back in spectacular fashion.
94	* ShipTease: Upon defeating the [[spoiler:Guests]] in the ''Second Original Generation'', Irm promises to take Ring to dinner at a Tokyo restaurant.
95	* SpellMyNameWithAnS: In some unofficial translations, she's known as '''Ling''' Mao. Some merchandise and secondary materials from Japan in the [=90s=] also spell her name as '''Lynn''' Mao. All of these are relatively valid transliterations of リン, especially in the context of the character being somewhat Chinese-adjacent in ancestry; it's really more a matter of what a reader thinks a more likely anglicization of her name would be. (Frustratingly, we've never seen what the ''hanzi'' of her name would be, only the kana interpretation.)
96	* SphereOfDestruction: The Huckebein's "Black Hole Cannon" is a {{BFG}} that shoots these.

101	[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Leononjayce-profile_1730.jpg]]
102	-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/KeiichiNanba
103
104	The "HotBlooded, serious yet friendly" male archetype, Jayce [[RealMenWearPink apparently likes bonsai]] and is quite gentle beneath all that {{HotBlooded}}ness. He is also the first character to invent the famous "[[SignatureMove Gespenst Kick]]" (inspired with [[Manga/GetterRobo Benkei Kuruma]] learning the ''Daisetsuzan Oroshi''), later used and popularized by ''Original Generation'' via the "Gespenst MK II Type-S". He is, by default, paired with Mina Likering.
105
106	Tropes associated with Jayce:
107	[[hardline]]
108	* CallingYourAttacks: While Jayce isn't the only offender here, it's notable considering the origin of the Gespenst Kick.
109	* LukeNounverber: Although to be precise, it's "Luke ''Nounnoun''" sans the -er.
110	* RealMenWearPink: One would think he's a gritty badass thanks to that Gespenst Kick, but he also likes bonsai.
111	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In the meta-textual sense - during the late [=90s=], when ''4'' and ''F'' were most prominent in the media and zeitgeist, Jayce was the most notable of the eight originals by a longshot. He was easily more popular than Irm thanks to the famous FountainOfMemes [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISQIKZTr5d4 attack]] that is his SignatureMove and essentially the game's poster boy and designated protagonist in secondary materials... but in decades of ''Original Generation'' games, he hasn't been so much as mentioned once.

118	The "slightly oddball" choice among the female pilots, Mina is by default paired with Jayce.
119	[[hardline]]
120	* HotBlooded: Getting Creator/NorikoHidaka to voice a character, surprise, results in this; Mina is something of a half-{{Expy}} of ''{{Anime/Gunbuster}}''[='s=] Noriko, despite being the "oddball" among the girls.

127	The "slightly oddball" choice among the male pilots, Hector is by default paired with Pat.
128

136	-> '''Voiced by:''' Music/MegumiHayashibara
137
138	Patricia is, more or less, the DistaffCounterpart of Lenonjayce in ''4'', and represents the "hot-blooded and friendly" archetype for the ladies. Compared to the usually calm Jayce, Patricia is [[GenkiGirl a completely hyperactive, enthusiastic girl]], and is especially devoted to making sure JusticeWillPrevail. Paired with oddball Hector Madison, Patricia is the one who invents the "[[SignatureMove Gespenst Punch]]", which doesn't get copied word-for-word, but might as well be today's better known technique called "Jet Magnum" in ''Original Generation''.
139
140	Tropes associated with Patricia:
141	[[hardline]]
142	* CallingYourAttacks: She does so with perhaps even more gusto than other pilots.

169	[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bian.BMP]]
170	-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShozoIizuka
171
172	The father of [[Characters/MasouKishin Lune Zoldark]], Bian Zoldark is a brilliant scientist who, upon researching alien technology found on Earth and given to his institute to investigate, begins building a secret rebellion called the "Divine Crusaders" ([=DC=]). Gathering military and political figures across the world, Bian publicly declares war on TheFederation and his army heads to extreme lengths [[CivilWar to crush the government in the "Divine Crusaders War"]], believing Bian's words are a sign to TakeOverTheWorld. In his appearance for ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars2'', Bian ultimately faces off with the gathered heroes representing the Federation and fights them at DC headquarters on "Aidoneus Island", proclaiming the ones who emerge victorious shall decide the fate of their world. He is killed in combat, but his legacy has resounding effects for the rest of the "[[FanNickname Classic Timeline]]".
173
174	In ''Original Generation'', Bian's role in the story is expanded, where he forms the "Extra-Over Technology Institute" (EOTI) as a response to researching alien technology for Earth's benefit (mainly due to the arrival of Meteor-3 near Aidoneous Island in the South Pacific). It's through Bian's research the mysterious material known as Tronium is discovered in the meteor, with Bian handing over 4 of the 5 useable samples to the Earth Federation Army. At the same time, Bian is slowly forming the DC in secret, recruiting help from many individuals such as [[Characters/MasouKishin Shu Shirakawa]] and Lune, his good friend [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGenerationAntagonists Maier von Branstein]] and his son [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGenerationSteelDragonBattleGroup Elzam]] and [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Sanger Zonvolt]]. Like ''Super Robot Wars 2'', Bian either faces the crew of the ''Hagane'' or ''Hiryu Custom'' battleship in ''Original Generation'' and dies at DC headquarters on Aidoneus Island. In contrast, his ''Alpha'' counterpart is alive; in fact, Bian's words are taken seriously because of the events from ''Anime/{{Gunbuster}}'' and ''Anime/SuperDimensionFortressMacross'' hovering above the Earth.
175
176	Bian creates and pilots the "Valsion" as his personal machine and creates a second unit he modifies for Lune, based off of the Valsion, called "Valsione"; in ''Original Generation'', the latter features a prototype of the "[[MotionCaptureMecha Direct Motion Link System]]" that would be found in another line of {{Super Robot}}s, the "[[AMechByAnyOtherName Dynamic General Guardians]]" ([=DGG=]).
177
178	Tropes associated with Bian:
179	[[hardline]]
180	* {{BFS}}: The Valsion wields a sword that is almost as long as it is tall. Considering the Valsion stands at 55 metres (for comparison, a standard [[Franchise/{{Gundam}} Mobile Suit]] is roughly 15-17 meters tall), the sword might as well be longer than most of its targets.
181	* FourStarBadass: Also BadassLabcoat; Bian forms a worldwide rebellion, builds several extremely powerful HumongousMecha and nearly brings TheFederation to its knees...and he did the first two ''without'' being noticed by the government.
182	* ClosetGeek: Implied, and confirmed by Lune, to be an old school SuperRobot anime fan, with their designs inspiring his [=DGG=] series in ''Alpha'' and ''Original Generation''.
183	* CrazyPrepared: The four [=DGGs=] are a perfect example of why Bian's planning is so extensive; hell, the fourth [=DGG=] has yet to be seen.
184	* EvenEvilHasStandards: Bian disapproves of any technological system that will cause harm to a pilot. That's why implements like the [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration "ODE", "GEIM"]] and [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha "LIOH"]] systems were never given the green light while he was in charge of the DC in ''Original Generation''.
185	* FinalBoss: In ''Super Robot Wars 2''
186	* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Bian had essentially no standards for who he let into the Divine Crusaders. The number of members who actually believed in his ideals can be counted on one hand, with the rest sticking around as TerroristsWithoutACause for ''years'' after his death.
187	* IgnoredExpert: The reason he opposes the Federation with his Divine Crusaders.
188	** Averted in ''Alpha'' because the government listens, thanks to the fall of the "[[Anime/{{Macross}} SDF-1 Macross]]", proving there's heavily armed aliens in the cosmos, thus the DC War never occurs; the DC is more of a {{Fiction 500}} [[CrimefightingWithCash Alien Fighting With Cash]] independent private {{Mecha}} research-and-development organization in that setting.
189	* KilledOffForReal: Except in ''Alpha''.
190	* {{Leitmotif}}: "Valsion"
191	* LightningBruiser: The Valsion is a towering, imposing machine worthy of any FinalBoss.[[labelnote:Comparison]]A standard Mobile Suit from Franchise/{{Gundam}} stands at 15-17 meters on average; the Valsion stands at ''55 meters'', making it at least three times at large.[[/labelnote]] It is also capable of moving faster than anything at that size deserves to, that one of its attacks is simply rushing the enemy down with its sword, which is a {{BFS}} for its size.
192	* MadScientist: {{Zigzagged}}:
193	** Bian's actually a very reasonable man (even if he feels driven to extremes by circumstances), but consider the [=DGGs=], ''especially'' the [[RidiculouslyHumanRobot Valsione]].
194	** The reason Bian designed the Valsione as it appears? Lune complained about how scary-looking the Valsion was and didn't want to pilot it. While Bian complied with his dear daughter's request, though, he based the Valsione's [[MoeAnthropomorphism feminine appearance on his daughter]]. [[https://imgur.com/a/FoYL6JZ As the 4koma says]] -- [[Memes/SuperRobotWars it's a father's hobby]].
195	*** He '''did''' design an optional full armor module for the Valsione that made it look more like the Valsion.
196	* MyDeathIsJustTheBeginning: Of the real plot for the rest of the Classic Timeline and ''Original Generation''.
197	* OrcusOnHisThrone: Played straight, then subverted, and ultimately played straight again in ''Original Generation''. Bian reveals he doesn't feel the need to kick back and let his subordinates do all the hard work. He gladly takes to the field towards the end of the first half of the route for [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Ryusei Date]], despite [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGenerationAntagonists Adler Koch]] thinking Bian's insane for doing so. Granted, it's only for one scenario (upon which he returns to headquarters until the heroes arrive) but the impact of Bian actually showing himself impresses a lot of people aboard the ''Hagane'' battleship.
198	* {{Otaku}}: A subtle version, but comments from Lune in the Classic Timeline reveals Bian's a {{Mecha}} geek who built the Valsion based on shows he used to watch. In ''Original Generation'', he makes the password for unlocking secret data in the Valsione a [[CharacterCatchphrase catchphrase]] from one of those shows.
199	* SlidingScaleOfVillainThreat: Everyone assumes Bian fits the "Global Threat" category [[spoiler:when he really is more of an AntiVillain]].
200	* VillainWithGoodPublicity: His public relations campaign wins a lot of supporters for the DC, as well as respect from the TheFederation higher-ups, despite being labelled a massive threat by the government. One has to wonder if this side of Bian is a small ShoutOut to ComicBook/LexLuthor.
201	* WellIntentionedExtremist: Despite what many DC members think, global domination is the absolute last resort for Bian.
202	* XanatosGambit
203	** [[spoiler:The whole point of the DC War is if nobody can defeat Bian and the Divine Crusaders, then they are the only ones on Earth who stand a ''[[MillionToOneChance ghost]]'' of a chance of fighting the incoming extra-terrestrials; even then, that scenario isn't particularly ideal because the aliens are adept at conquering worlds. Bian becoming NecessarilyEvil is to ensure if someone ''can'' defeat him and the DC, then they're much more likely to be able to fight off the invaders]].
204	** ''Original Generation'' further justifies the gambit: [[spoiler:Bian realizes the government is severely under-equipped for an extra-terrestrial invasion. Unless the government truly understands how serious an alien threat is, they'll never rise to the challenge and gather the means to defeat them. The Earth Federation Army army has the potential; they just don't know it]].

212	A member of the Divine Crusaders, Thomas Platt played a minor role in the Divine Crusaders War in ''Super Robot Wars 2'', but manages to evade capture by Federation forces long enough to get transported to [[BeneathTheEarth the subterranean world of]] "[[AnotherDimension La Gias]]". Thomas joins the "Republic of Bagonia" and its military, and has several encounters with [[Characters/MasouKishin Masaki Andoh]] and his companions during ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsGaiden The Lord of Elemental]]'' storyline. Thomas also appears in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsEX'', still part of the Bagonian military, as well as an antagonist towards the heroes.
213
214	In ''Original Generation'', Thomas begins like his Classic Timeline counterpart as a commander in the DC. One of his subordinates is nervous recruit Ryoto. In their first mission, Thomas uses Ryoto as a decoy to smuggle a bomb (hidden in Ryoto's "Lion F") that would destroy the ''Hagane''. The plan's foiled, and has a great effect on Ryoto's view of the DC, [[HeelFaceTurn causing him to defect]]. Thomas participates in the final defense of Aidoneous Island and continues on up until the final attack on Federation headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. He realizes the DC's going down the tubes and decides he's had enough. In ''[[VideoGameRemake Original Generations]]'', Thomas somehow manages to conceal his involvement with the Divine Crusaders and is serving as a soldier in the Earth Federation Army.
215
216	Tropes associated with Thomas:
217	[[hardline]]
218	* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: His character portrait always includes a cigarette in his mouth.
219	* {{Jerkass}}: At least, in Ryoto's mind
220	* PutOnABus: Despite the ''EX'' plot being incorporated into the ''Second Original Generation'', Thomas is still not seen again. [[spoiler:[[TheBusCameBack Subverted]] in the ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Dark Prison]]'' DownloadableContent, where he's been summoned to La Gias and engages Shu during an encounter after being hired as a mercenary for the "Shutendonias Alliance"]].
221	%%* PunchClockVillain
222	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: What he does before the DC invades Geneva in ''Original Generation''. Thomas does this even earlier in the AnimatedAdaptation ''Divine Wars'', flying the coop just before the final showdown between the heroes and Bian.
223	* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Is it Thomas "Platt" or Thomas "Bright"?
224	* WeHardlyKnewYe: Variation; in the ''Original Generation'' route for [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsCompact2 Kyosuke Nanbu]], Thomas barely appears with [[GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere no explanation of who he is]]. He leaves the DC just as soon as players meet him; to really know about him, one must play Ryusei's route.

229	!Zuvorg Alliance
230	[[folder:In General]]
231	The Zuvorg Alliance is the primary antagonist of the Classic Timeline, encompassing a huge galactic conglomerate of worlds acting as supervisors to the galaxy, seeing which planet turns out to be a threat to the universe and eliminate them. Amongst them are the "Inspectors" (Wendolo, Mekibos, Vigagi, Sikalog and Aguija) and the "Guests", led by Teniquette Zezenan. Unfortunately, while most of them are sane, extremists like Wendolo and Teniquette turn out to be far worse, irredeemable enemies of mankind.
232
233	In ''Original Generation'', the nature of the Zuvorg Alliance is expanded: largely an aristocracy, many members are part of clans/houses in the Alliance. The Zuvorg Council, meanwhile, is split into two distinct factions: the "Volga", who governs the Inspectors, and the "Zogar", whom the Guests belong to.
234
235	Tropes regarding the Zuvorg Alliance and multiple characters:
236	[[hardline]]
237	* ArtificialHuman: The primary fodder to their main force, they are the pilots to their MechaMooks. They're (ambiguously) referred to as "Elites" and "Bioroids".
238	* BaldOfEvil: Vigagi and Sikalog, although the former ''claims'' to have hair, but merely shaves it off.
239	* ChestBlaster: Each Inspector and Guest AceCustom carries a "Mega Smasher" attack. Notably, the Mega Smasher for Wendolo's Dikastis' is so powerful it can blast a giant hole from the "White Star" in ''Original Generation 2''.
240	* EleventhHourRanger: [[spoiler:In the ''Second Original Generation'', while they don't officially join the party, Justine Chafrois, Zebris Forschwa and Grofis Lacrein become {{Guest Star Party Member}}s at the end of the second Space Route. This is repeated in ''Dark Prison'']].
241	* FourStarBadass: The Inspectors and Guests
242	* GivenNameReveal: After multiple [=SRW=] appearances, the ''Second Original Generation'' reveals Mekibos [[spoiler:and Wendolo]] has the surname "Bulverde".
243	* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Mekibos]] finds HonorBeforeReason after the Inspectors are called out on their hypocrisy. Each of the Guest leaders, aside from Teniquette, also pull this [[spoiler:after they discover they've been duped by him regarding the Guest invasion]].
244	* HumanityOnTrial
245	** The Inspectors seek to pacify and control the Earthlings before they become too much of a threat to galatic peace. Of course, with the Inspectors, there's a subversion - [[spoiler:Wendolo's just [[OmnicidalManiac a psychopathic murderer who wants to use this trope as an excuse to commit genocide]]. Zezenan takes this to its extreme by ''declaring'' an act of genocide]].
246	** There is a way to actually ''fail'' the "trial" back in ''4'': if players attempt to kill [[spoiler:Shu, despite [[HeelFaceDoorSlam him helping them out]], on the basis of players not forgiving what he did in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars3'', [[HaveANiceDeath Mekibos states he just confirmed to the Zuvorg higher-ups the Earth really IS a threat to galactic peace and proceeds to get the rest of the Zuvorg Alliance to wipe them out off-screen]]]].
247	* {{Hypocrite}}
248	** Wendolo gives a [[HannibalLecture long speech about how humans are dangerous and will naturally cause war and death throughout the galaxy and how the Zuvorg Alliance is so superior to them]], [[spoiler:only to nonchalantly kill his brother Mekibos a minute later, [[XanatosGambit which he had prepared for just in case]] of a HeelFaceTurn]]. The heroes definitely don't buy any of his crap after this.
249	** Zezenan shares the same belief like Wendolo and treats humanity as pests of the galaxy, though it's arguably because he wants to see if Earth has enough manpower to join the Zuvorg Alliance. [[spoiler:When he declares about committing genocide, which the Zuvorg Council never approved of, his allies [[NiceJobFixingItVillain pull a]] HeelFaceTurn]].
250	%%* {{Knight Templar}}s
251	* LargeAndInCharge: Wendolo's Dikastis and Zezenan's Baran Schnile easily dwarfs all other Inspector and Guest general units.
252	* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fshEON1kdRE "Violent Battle"]] for the Inspectors and "Genocide Machine" for the Guests. Wendolo gets his own specific theme in ''Original Generations'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6qu61NY87A "The Judge and The Judged"]], while Grofis gets the exclusive "Genocide Machine II" [[spoiler:in the ''Second Original Generation]].
253	* NoFourthWall: Vigagi's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgaCMhTxkEg What does Episode 30 mean!?]]" and Mekibos congratulating players during a supposedly impossible, but winnable, scenario in ''Original Generation 2''. In ''The Inspectors'', when [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGenerationSteelDragonBattleGroup Ratsel Feinschmecker]] appears, Vigagi pushes away a panel.
254	%%* QuirkyMinibossSquad, WolfpackBoss
255	* WorthyOpponent: Mekibos and the Guest generals are just doing their jobs to protect galactic peace (at least, that's what they believe; they're simply getting bad intel from their superiors) and find the heroes rather honorable, which causes them to double-check the info. This is in stark contrast to the rest of the Inspectors and Zezenan, a bunch of racist {{Jerkass}}es who care nothing about being unfair or using dirty tactics.

260	[[folder:Wendolo]]
261	[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wendolo.BMP]]
262	-> '''Voiced by:''' Makoto Takasaka (''Complete Box''), Creator/YukiKaida (''Original Generations'' onwards)
263
264	Leader of the Zuvorg Alliance's Inspectors, Wendolo is ordered by the Zuvorg Council to investigate the Earthlings' activities and if need be, subjugate them. In ''Original Generation 2'', after he and the Inspectors successfully gain control of the White Star, setting up their primary base of operations there, Wendolo sends his forces to disable the Earth Federation Army's military. Wendolo always has a sly, yet sinister smile on his face. Regardless of who it is, be it ally or foe, he shows no mercy.
265	[[hardline]]
266	* AceCustom: "Dikastis"
267	* AdaptationDecay: [[spoiler:Wendolo is forcibly made into an Einst drone]] in ''The Inspectors'', complete with an angry VillainousBreakdown, rather than being the calm, in-control CreepyChild he is in the games.
268	* BigBad: Of ''Super Robot Wars 3''
269	%%* {{BFS}}
270	%%* CrossdressingVoices
271	%%* EyesAlwaysShut
272	* HumansAreWarriors: His persistance that humans are the best at fighting and creating weapons is the reason all Inspectors use human made weapons. His reasoning is that the inspectors are more civilized and clever life forms than them and with equal weapons, they should be winning the war against humanity. He loses, badly. This is the reason, according to him, that humans should be observed and controlled.
273	* MeaningfulName: "Dikastis" loosely means "judge" or "juror" in Greek
274	* TeenGenius: Although his exact age is unknown, Wendolo is the leader of the Inspectors and has his ''older'' brother [[spoiler:Mekibos]] serving under him.
275	%%* TeensAreMonsters
276	* VocalEvolution: In the Platform/PlayStation-only "[[CompilationRerelease Complete Box]]" release, Wendolo's voice is very high-pitched and sounds a little annoying, almost like a little child. In ''Original Generations'', Wendolo sounds more mellow, calculating and considerably sinister, to the point of {{Magnificent Bastard}}ry. This is likely due to the change in voice actor.

283
284	One of the Inspectors sent to Earth, the arrogant Vigagi views Earthlings as nothing but "[[InsistentTerminology barbarians]]", insisting their actions are a threat to galactic peace, and their future expansion into the cosmos a potential danger to the Zuvorg Alliance. In ''Original Generation 2'', Vigagi quickly seizes control of the Tesla-Leicht Institute, but is unable to prevent Sanger and Ratsel from acquiring their new units hidden beneath the installation and is forced to retreat. Vigagi is tasked to defend the Inspector-occupied "Moon Cradle", but is killed in combat by the ''Hiryu Custom'' and its crew.
285	[[hardline]]
286	* AceCustom: "Galgau" and "Mega Galgau", the latter appearing exclusively in ''The Inspectors'' [[spoiler:since Sanger destroyed the former when he retreived the Dygenguard]].
287	* TheDragon: Claims...wait, scratch that..'''[[InsistentTerminology insists]]''' he's the direct superior of Mekibos, Sikalog and Aguija. It might be true, [[OurDragonsAreDifferent especially when taking the Galgau's appearance into consideration]], [[SubvertedTrope but it comes across as hot gas more than anything else]] since Mekibos is obviously the brains behind their operations.

296
297	Another of the five Inspectors sent to Earth, the cool-headed, taciturn and reasonable Mekibos hastily destroyed Earth Federation forces at the White Star and helped establishes their command base in ''Original Generation 2'' at the "North American Langley Base" of the Earth Federation Army. He also leads the attack on the Moon Cradle and Mao Industries, with hopes to gain the "Huckebein MK III" for Inspector use.
298	[[hardline]]
299	* AceCustom: "Graterkin"; [[spoiler:upon returing to Earth, "Graterkin II"]]
300	* AntiVillain: [[spoiler:His continuous battles against the Earthlings slowly convinces him they are not as primitive, nor dishonorable, as they were seen. Realizing there was never a need to "inspect" humanity, Mekibos returns to Wendolo and attempts to persuade his brother to stand down; unfortunately, Wendolo refuses to put aside differences. Before he can escape, Mekibos had the teleportation system rigged in the Dikastis, yet Wendolo himself had the Graterkin rendered immovable and finished him off]].
301	* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Found by the Zuvorg Alliance and [[WeCanRebuildHim turned into a]] {{Cyborg}}, even repairing the Graterkin. Mekibos returns to Earth in ''4'' and the ''Second Original Generation'' to warn humanity about Zezenan's plans to destroy them without the Zuvorg Council's approval.

302	* CodeName: [[spoiler:Goes by "Gray", the pipeline between the Earth Federation government (and by extension, the "[[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGenerationAntagonists Gaia Sabers]]") and the Zuvorg Alliance]].
303	* GoodScarsEvilScars: On the right side of his face
304	* MerlinAndNimue: [[spoiler:In ''Original Generation'' with [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGenerationSteelDragonBattleGroupe Yong Gebana]], whom he orders to spy on Zezenan for the higher-ups in the Zuvorg Alliance. As he is the head of the Bulverde family, Mekibos doesn't like to be called "master"; accordingly, Yong's household is not socially high in the Zuvorg aristocracy and hierarchy, which explains why she addresses Mekibos so formally. Whenever he insists they talk casually, Yong is completely bewildered and rejects the notion]].
305	* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: [[spoiler:[[{{Lampshaded}} Deliberately called out]] by [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Tasuku Shinguji]] he shouldn't have survived all the things that happened to him (shot down by Wendolo, White Star gets assimilated by the [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsCompact2 Stern Regisseur]], blown up inside the facility).

316	[[hardline]]

318	* TheBrute: What his role entails to among the Inspectors; statistically, the Drukin is the MightyGlacier of the Inspector units.

320	* FlatCharacter: It doesn't help he's a mute in all incarnations, which doesn't provide him with a lot of characterization.

With her "darling" Sikalog in ''Original Generation 2'', she and Inspector forces occupy the White Star. Aguija later gives chase to the members of "[[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAlpha2 Project Terrestrial Dream]]" after they flee the Tesla-Leicht Institute, but is pushed back by the "[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWars2 Cybuster]]" and "[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Astelion]]".

343
344	A member of the Zuvorg Council and leader of the Guests (a term code-named by the Earth Federation), a special force sent to inspect and control planets. Unlike most Zuvorg members, Zezenan's prejudiced against the Earthlings, viewing them as nothing more than a collection of apes. While supposedly kind to his subordinates, [[{{Jerkass}} he mainly sees his soldiers]] [[WeHaveReserves as disposable tools]].
345

347	[[hardline]]
348	* AceCustom: "Baran Schnile"
349	* BigBad: Of ''4''/''F''/''F Final''
350	** BigBadWannabe: [[spoiler:''Second Original Generation'', as [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGenerationAntagonists Keparoc Narmo]] gave him the firepower to take on the Earth in the first place]].
351	* TheConspiracy: [[spoiler:In ''Original Generation'', Zezenan underhandedly provided raw, Zuvorg technology for the Earth, but at the same time, sparked conflict and war within the Federation, leading to the Divine Crusaders War. He reasoned the technology would be put into use primarily as military weapons; doing so would give the Zuvorg Alliance the incentive to send him and the Guests to subdue the Earthlings. However, Zezenan notes the humans' ability to craft weapons surpassing that of the Zuvorg, which would provide him greater weaponry that anyone else in the Alliance, particularly the Zogar faction he's a part of. He also wanted samples of Balmarian technology, specifically the Tronium from Meteor-3, which the Zuvorg had never been able to acquire themselves]].
352	* DegradedBoss: The only series boss to suffer this humiliation, Zezenan's Baran Schnile reappears in ''The Moon Dwellers'' as a miniboss under Iladoya's command.
353	* DudeWheresMyRespect: PlayedForLaughs with the Steel Dragons being completely unimpressed by the Baran Schnile, [[OvershadowedByAwesome comparing it to everything else they've fought and saying Zezenan's big robot just isn't very impressive by comparison]].
354	* EarlyBirdCameo: [[spoiler:Zezenan first appeared in ''Original Generation'' disguised as an Aerogater to spy on the deal between the Federation and the extra-terrestrials, hoping to strike something convenient with the Earth government. Unfortunately, Shu and his Granzon unceremoniously interrupted the proceedings]].
355	* FantasticRacism: Against the Earthlings; [[spoiler:{{Irony}} ensues in ''Original Generation'' when it's implied humanity and the Zuvorg share a likely common ancestor]].
356	* KilledOffForReal: In ''4''/''F''/''F Final'', he was killed on Mars; [[spoiler:in the ''Second Original Generation'', he dies at the Moon Cradle]].
357	%%* ManBehindTheMan
358	* MultiArmedAndDangerous: Baran Schnile
359	* OhCrap: [[spoiler:In the ''Second Original Generation'', when Zezenan and the Guests arrive on Earth for their invasion, he did not expect the Federation and its military to be fully prepared, as the Gaia Sabers anticipate their drop points around the globe, and hastily fend off their preemptive strikes (Mekibos, who is the pipeline between the Earth and the Zuvorg Alliance, has been supplying the Gaia Sabers with information about the Guests).

417	* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: In the third ''Alpha'' game, he's rather pleasant and encouraging to Heinel, offering words of comfort when the Boazanian Prince puts himself down.
418	* AdaptationalNiceGuy: His anime counterpart was more violent and short-tempered compared to his video game equivalent.
419	* AlienPrince: He's the Prince of the Baam-seijin. Unfortunately, unlike his father, who disapproved of war, Richter believes that Earth is the right of his people and aims to replace the native population with them.

422	* BadBoss: Lampshaded in ''Alpha'' when he confesses to Heinel that he's been a terrible boss to Raiza and Balbas.
423	* CainAndAbel: While him and his sister used to be close as children, the death of King Leon caused them to part ways, as Richter wanted to kill the humans to avenge him, while Erika knew that Earth-Baam relations would never be possible if he did so. Their relationship worsened when Richter found out that Erika fell in love with a human, subsequently disowning her as his sister and calling her a traitor to the Baam Empire.
424	* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Richter has long blonde hair, is pale-skinned, and has views on humans that are reminiscient of the ideals Nazis and white supremacists hold, such as calling his sister a "traitor" for loving someone of a different race, believing that the Baam-seijin are the superior race and wanting to commit genocide on a race he considers "lesser".
425	* FantasticRacism: Saying that he does not like the human race is an understatement...
426	* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: In ''Alpha'', he sacrifices himself to save Erika, after apologizing for his villainy.]]
427	* LightIsNotGood: He has blonde hair that reaches the floor, but is also a cold-hearted bastard that would send his own sister to the gallows in the name of preserving Baam pride.
428	* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Since Baam is a FantasyCounterpartCulture to Ancient Rome[[note]]As well as Ancient Egypt and the Brahmins of India[[/note]], Richter is this.

At the meeting, his father collapsed after drinking from a cup, leading the Prince to believe it was an assassination attempt. In a fit of rage, he opened fire on the human delegates, thus kicking off the Earth-Baam war.

438	* AlienPrincess: Second in line to the throne after Richter.
439	* AndNowYouMustMarryMe: [[spoiler: Poor Erika is subjected to this by [[Anime/VoltesV Zambajil]] in the third ''Alpha'' game. Not because Zambajil loves her, but because she's the Princess of the Baams, he wants to use her to legitimize his rule. Oddly enough, Zambajil never expressed any interest in the opposite gender in the [[Anime/VoltesV original anime]] - this action is merely of him being a CompositeCharacter of Olban, who did the same in [[Anime/{{Daimos}} the anime they originated from]].]]
440	* CainAndAbel: While Richter is a warmongering bigot that wants to wipe out the humans, Erika wants everlasting peace and even fell in love with a human man, Kazuya Ryuuzaki, because he showed utmost kindness to her.
441	* CommonalityConnection: Erika empathizes with [[Anime/MartianSuccessorNadesico Yurika Misumaru]] because they're both StarCrossedLovers - do note that ''Anime/{{Daimos}}'' was literally based on ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet''.
442	* DamselInDistress: While her anime counterpart was prone to being kidnapped and held hostage (though she wasn't above fighting and using her own skills to escape), most ''Super Robot Wars'' have Erika in this position, often to motivate Kazuya.
443	* InterspeciesRomance: She is a Baam who falls in love with a human.
444	* StarCrossedLovers: She's the Juliet to Kazuya's Romeo.

454	* BadassPacifist: Kazuya ''hates'' war, and doesn't even see Richter as an ArchEnemy (instead believing that he has good in him, and that they can be friends). He's willing to reason with everyone, unless they're adamant about harming innocents.
455	* BewareTheNiceOnes: When he loses his temper against Miwa in the second ''Super Robot Wars Alpha'' game, [[Anime/VoltesV Kenichi]] has to restrain him from giving the sleazy UN official hell.
456	* CallingTheOldManOut:
457	** In almost every ''Super Robot Wars'' game, he will condemn Miwa for his racism towards the Baam and corrupt behaviour.
458	-->'''Kazuya, in the second ''Super Robot Wars Alpha'' game:''' ''Shut up! Does the title of Director have anything to do with it? You're the worst bastard in the universe!!"''
459	** Also in the second ''Super Robot Wars Alpha'' game, he calls out Char over his attempt to complete the Axis fall.
460	-->'''Kazuya, to Char:''' ''"If you keep your fists clenched from the beginning, how can you ever understand each other?"''
461	* CommonalityConnection:
462	** In the second ''Alpha'' game, Kazuya and Kamille Bidan bond over being karate masters.
463	** In the third ''Alpha'' game, Kazuya will remark that he relates to [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Gendo Ikari]] because similar to how Gendo is willing to do anything to see Yui again, Kazuya is willing to do anything to see Erika again. However this is where their similarities end - [[spoiler: Gendo is such an extremist that he's willing to use his own son as a pawn for his goals]] while Kazuya risks his own life to save many people.
464	* HiddenDepths: His love for playing the drums is mentioned quote a few times.
465	* HotBlooded: And passionate about his love for Erika.
466	* InterspeciesRomance: Kazuya is a human man who falls in love with an alien woman.
467	* ShipperOnDeck: In the end of ''Shin'', Kazuya remarks that he thinks that [[Anime/VoltesV Heinel]] and [[Anime/VoltesV Katherine]] will be happy together. Even ''Romeo'' approves of Heinarine!
468	* StarCrossedLovers: With Erika. He loves her, but their planets are at war.
469	-->'''Kazuya:''' ''"No matter where you are in the universe, our bond will remain the same."''
470	* ThePowerOfLove: In the second ''Alpha'' game, Kazuya uses ThePowerOfLove in several boss battles. However, this mostly works for the latter half of the game.
471	* VillainousFriendship: In ''COMPACT'', he can convince Richter and Aizam to befriend him.
472	* WarIsHell: This is his philosophy, and he will often try his best to avoid needless violence.
473	* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: ''MX'' is set after the events of ''Anime/{{Daimos}}'', and Kazuya is ready to settle down with Erika...and then the Martians from ''Anime/MartianSuccessorNadesico'' abduct her, and he has to save her again.
