* PinkGirlBlueBoy: Although ''Alpha''/''Original Generation'' Ring is an atypical "pink girl".

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: In some of the unofficial translations, she's known as '''Ling''' Mao.

* 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.

* NotSoDifferent: With Irm in ''Original Generation''; acknowledged by both InUniverse.

** 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]] [[CrazyAwesome on his daughter]]. [[https://imgur.com/a/FoYL6JZ As the 4koma says]] -- [[Memes/SuperRobotWars it's a father's hobby]].

* TheDragon: Claims...wait, scratch that..'''[[InsistentTerminology insists]]''' he's the direct superior of Mekibos, Sikalog and Aguija. It might be true, [[InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons 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.

* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: (Mega) Galgau

* 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. KilledOffForReal by Shu Shirakawa in ''Dark Prison''

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 "calm and cool 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.

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.

* 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.

* 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 while "it" is simultaneously something he can't just apologize for and make better.

* SphereOfDestruction, {{BFG}}: Huckebein's "Black Hole Cannon"

The "HotBlooded, [[JusticeWillPrevail full of justice passion]]" 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 pairs up with Mina Likering in ''4''.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In the meta-textual sense - for ''4'', Jayce is the most notable of the eight originals, easily more popular than Irm thanks to his famous FountainOfMemes [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISQIKZTr5d4 attack]] that is his SignatureMove, but in nearly twenty years of ''Original Generation'' games, he hasn't been so much as mentioned once.

* HotBlooded: Getting Creator/NorikoHidaka to voice a character, surprise, results in this; Mina is something of a half-{{Expy}} of ''{{Anime/Gunbuster}}'''s Noriko.

%%* TheFool

Patricia is, more-or-less, the DistaffCounterpart of Lenonjayce in ''4''. Compared to the usually calm Jayce, Patricia is [[GenkiGirl a complete hyperactive, enthusiastic girl]], especially in making sure JusticeWillPrevail. Paired with Hector Madison in ''4'', 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''.

%%* HotBlooded

* KilledOffForReal: Except in ''Alpha''

** ''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 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]].

* MadScientist: {{Zigzagged}}

** The reason Bian designed the Valsione as it appears is Lune complained about how scary-looking the Valsion was and didn't want to use one, thus he merely complied to his dear daughter's request. However, its [[MoeAnthropomorphism feminine appearance]] is lifted [[CrazyAwesome straight from Bian's mind]].

* GenreSavvy: [[spoiler:Wendolo knew his brother would pull a HeelFaceTurn, thus rigged the Graterkin to become immobile, giving him the chance to wipe him away with a Mega Smasher]].

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Probably the only person who can make a mullet look {{Badass}}.

* RealMenWearPink: One would think he's a gritty {{Badass}} thanks to that Gespenst Kick, but he also likes bonsai.
