* BlondesAreEvil: Devilotte... subverts this.

Also known as '''Cyberbots: Full Metal Madness''', this is a FightingGame made by Creator/{{Capcom}} in 1995 for arcade, UsefulNotes/SegaSaturn and UsefulNotes/PlayStation. The game is Capcom's attempt to create a ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' clone using the {{Humongous Mecha}}s from ''VideoGame/ArmoredWarriors'' and four buttons instead of the usual six.

** Santana's name might be a reference to the famous Latin guitar player Carlos Santana. It may also be a nod towards ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' -- one of the Ultimate Life Forms in [=JoJo=] Series 2 was named Santana, and Santana's design is quite [=JoJo=]-esque (imagine a younger Mohammad Avdol).

!Phase 2... PROCEED

'''"Target Destroyed"'''

* {{Expy}}: Devilotte bears more than a passing resemblance to [[Anime/{{Yatterman}} Doronjo]]: both are blonde comedic mecha villains constantly accompanied by two male lackeys. This was {{lampshaded}} in Doronjo's ending in ''VideoGame/TatsunokoVsCapcom''. For bonus points, Super 8 looks like Agmiss, the stage 2 boss from Armored Warriors.
** Jin bears a striking resemblance to Kakugo from ''ApocalypseZero''.

** The name of the Robot Version of Akuma in the Game, Zero Gouki is a shout out to EVA 00 from ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', which was sometimes called Zerogoki.

* MeaningfulName: Many people theorize that Jin Saotome's name is derived from the last name's of Hayato Jin and Professor Saotome of ''GetterRobo''. Jin's [[HotBlooded hot-bloodedness]] and crazy fighting style show he has more than a little bit of Ryoma in him, too.
