History VideoGame / RobotechBattlecry

* TheCameo: Rick Hunter, Roy Faulkner, Minmei, and Lisa Hayes all make brief appearances in the main story. It helps that most of cast from the show are voicing other characters in this game.

The game's story begins at the beginning of the anime before quickly jumping ahead to the SDF-1's return to Earth and the Rains of Destruction event. The rest of the game takes place during the reconstruction era of the anime where the main Zentraedi forces have been defeated and are integrating into human society while a few fringe insurgent groups are looking to start war anew.

* DefeatMeansFriendship: In Jack's backstory this is how he became friends with Roy. The two fought against each other in the Unification Wars and afterwards when the SDF-1 was gathering pilots for the Veritechs, Roy sought Jack out already knowing his skill.

* TimedMission: Several missions require you to complete them or deliver a vital object within the time limit or you get a GameOver. The second boss fight against Kiyora and the fight against [[spoiler: Hiro]] are closer to soft timed missions since eventually they ''will'' destroy Izzy and [[spoiler: Skarrde]] respectively if you don't stop the boss in time.

* WorthyOpponent: The Zentraedi remnants under Zeraal all come to view Jack this way, including the BigBad himself. By the end of the game, it seems like every Zentraedi ([[spoiler: except Skarrde)] wants to fight Jack to the death.

* OriginalCharacter: Jack Archer.

* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Jack starts to show signs of this after his fight with Gorian where he muses that he is happy that he killed him and laments what's becoming of him. However it never really comes up again.

* OneSceneWonder: The Destroid Monsters in Chapter 5. This is the only stage they appear in for the entire game and they are certainly imposing, unfortunately they're stuck in yet another EscortMission.

* InformedFlaw: The Male Power Armor are said to especially weak to the sniper function on the Battlloid mode. This is partially true since the Male Power Armor is resistant to missiles from the Guardian and Fighter, but Male Power Armors have a sniper laser of their own which will shave off half your health if they hit you with it, and unlike you they can move while firing it which means trying to counter-snipe when they are alerted to you makes you an easy sitting target. If you can't kill them with the sniper, you better get in their face quickly. The sniper is also useless against Gorian, a Male Power Armor wielding boss.

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Skaarde]], who gives intel to Jack because [[spoiler:Jack saved Skaarde from Hiro]].

* RecurringBoss: Kiyora.

* CouchGag: A zentradi Battle Pod walker blunders into the Vicious Cycle Software logo and shakes its "head." This causes the huge gold coin the logo is printed on to roll around and fall over, crushing the mech into paste underneath it, to the amusement of both the player and the Vicious Cycle itself.

* {{Mooks}}: The Zentraedi Battle Pods are the standard, most common enemies that are faced throughout the game. There are also the scavengers, who make up the few non-mecha examples of this trope.

* DegradedBoss: Glaug Officer Battle Pods. You encounter one as a boss (piloted by Skarrde) at the end of Chapter 2. By Chapter 4, Officer Battle Pods start to appear as regular enemies.

* DiscOneFinalBoss: Kiyora. You finally kill her in Chapter 5, allowing Zeraal to take center-stage.

* MechaMooks: Being a video game based on a MechaShow, the majority of your enemies are made up of this. A notable exception would be the scavengers.
