Interestingly, [[Characters/MasouKishin Masaki Andoh]] also shows up piloting the Cybuster, marking the first time in eight years a previously established OriginalGeneration character would show up in a licensed ''Super Robot Wars'' game; the last time that happened was during the ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha'' saga[[note]]''Alpha'' had characters from ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsGaiden Masou Kishin: The Lord of Elemental]]'', ''VideoGame/ShinSuperRobotWars'', ''Super Hero Sakusen'', ''VideoGame/SuperRobotSpirits'' and ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars4'', ''Alpha Gaiden'' added more characters from ''The Lord of Elemental'', and ''Alpha 2'' and ''Alpha 3'' featured [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGenerationSteelDragonBattleGroup Elzam von Branste-]][[PaperThinDisguise *ahem* sorry, Ratsel Feinschmeker]][[/note]]. This would later be repeated in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsXOmega''[[note]][[Characters/SuperRobotWarsJudgment Touya Shiun and the Granteed]][[/note]] and ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsV''[[note]]With the Grungust and Huckebein[[/note]].

''OE'' is a curious installment as it wasn't released in a physical format, but rather digital-only, with a total of eight chapters. The goal of the game was to try to use as many series as possible in a single installment, using the Platform/PlayStationNetwork to upload more content with each specific chapter. Unfortunately, this approach meant the {{Crossover}} plot was streamlined, leaving a ton of series under PostScriptSeason status or just as {{Filler}} (some even bordering InNameOnly).

''Super Robot Wars OE'' (for ''Operation Extend'') is a ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' game released for the Sony UsefulNotes/PlayStationPortable in 2013.

* '''''[[Franchise/Patlabor Mobile Police Patlabor]]''''' (Includes the TV series and movie)

* '''''[[Anime/{{Patlabor}} Mobile Police Patlabor]]''''' (Includes the TV series and movie)

** All ''Gundam'' entries from outside of the Universal get only 1-3 characters each: Domon for ''G Gundam'', Heero and Zechs for ''Wing'', Shinn, Kira, and Athrun for ''SEED Destiny'', and Setsuna, Saji, and Mr. Bushido for ''00''.
** The only character ''Zoids Genesis'' to appear in the game is protagonist Ruuji.

* AdaptationEarlyAppearance: As a result of the Geno Saurer being AdaptedOut, Raven pilots its evolved state, the Geno Breaker, during the first story arc of ''Anime/ZoidsChaoticCentury'', before the Blade Liger shows up.

* CanonWelding: All [[AlternateUniverse AU]] ''Gundam'' entries barring ''G Gundam'' (which uses an [[PostScriptSeason "after-story]] similar to ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsNEO NEO]]'') are more or less folded into the Universal Century plotline. The best way to sum up their involve would be to call it a variation of the ''Wing'' plot, with [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Zechs]] and [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Mr. Bushido]] as soldiers for the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Earth Federation]], while [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Heero]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Kira, Athrun, Shinn]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Setsuna, and Saji]] all being part of a militia for space colonies that are not aligned with either the Federation or Zeon. There was one time when Heero and Setsuna show up and destroy a Federation base (apparently related to Cyber Newtypes), which might've caused a skirmish with Connect Force, if not for [[Manga/GetterRobo Invaders]] showing up to force them to team-up, but that was about it. Regardless, all of said colony personnel do end joining Connect Force.
** Likewise, Ruuji, as the only character of ''Anime/ZoidsGenesis'', lives in a village with the [[Anime/ZoidsChaoticCentury Guylos area]]. After using his Murasame Liger to drive off some bandits threatening his village, he accepts an invitation to join the Guardian Force.

* PostScriptSeason: The only series who actually have their plot present in some capacity are ''Zoids: Chaotic Century'' (including the ''Guardian Force'' part), ''L-Gaim'', ''Layzner'', and the entries for ''Patlaber'', ''Votoms'', and Universal Century ''Gundam'' (barring ''Zeta'' and the DLC-only ''Char's Counterattack''). Everything else is either this, ripped from an alternate Earth from an early plot point and left that way for the entire game, or simply [[CanonWelding melded into another entry's canon]].

''Super Robot Wars OE'' (Operation Extend) is a ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' game released for the Sony UsefulNotes/PlayStationPortable in 2013.

* SidelinedProtagonistCrossover: ''Anime/ZoidsNewCentury'' debuted in this installment but Bit Cloud and his Liger Zero were nowhere in sight. The series is instead represented by two supporting characters and they don't even have music from their own series.

* NewWorkRecycledGraphics: This game reuses ''a lot'' of assets from ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsGC GC]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsNEO NEO]]'', but it also barrows a couple of character mugshots from the then-recently released ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsZ Z2]]'' games.

Interestingly, [[Characters/MasouKishin Masaki Andoh]] also shows up piloting the Cybuster, marking the first time in 8 years that a previously established [[OriginalGeneration Banpresto Original]] would show up in a ''Super Robot Wars'' game, with the last time it was done at that point being [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha the Alpha Trilogy]][[note]]''Alpha 1'' had characters from ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsGaiden Masou Kishin: The Lord of Elemental]]'', ''VideoGame/ShinSuperRobotWars'', ''Super Hero Sakusen'', ''VideoGame/SuperRobotSpirits'' and ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars4'', ''Alpha Gaiden'' added more characters from ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsGaiden Lord of Elemental]]'', and ''Alphas 2 and 3'' had [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGenerationSteelDragonBattleGroup Elzam von Branste-]][[PaperThinDisguise *ahem* sorry, Ratsel Feinschmeker]][[/note]].

This game is a very curious case, as it's not a physical game, but digital only, with a total of 8 chapters. The main goal of the game was to try to use as many series as possible in one game, using Playstation Network to upload more content with each specific chapter. Unfortunately, because of this, the story/plot is also '''very''' streamlined, leaving a ton of series under PostScriptSeason status or just plain filler (some even borderlining InNameOnly).

* {{Leitmotif}}: In addition to [[Anime/JusinLiger Ryu Dolk's]] [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsNEO "Fated Rival,"]], the game also gives unique themes for [[Anime/BlueCometSPTLayzner Gosterro]] ("Heavy Blow"), [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Char]] ("Beyond the Sand Smoke"), [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Zechs]] ("Noble Soul"), and [[Anime/ZoidsChaoticCentury Raven]] ("Pomp and Circumstance"). For the latter 3 at least, their themes seem to be composed in a similar manner to their respective series' soundtracks.

* CanonWelding: All [[AlternateUniverse AU]] ''Gundam'' entries are more or less folded into the Universal Century plotline. Of the entries, only ''G Gundam'' really has its own plotline, even if it [[PostScriptSeason takes place after its original plotline]]. The others are in something of a variation of the ''Wing'' plot, with [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Zechs]] and [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Mr. Bushido]] as soldiers for the [[MobileSuitGundam Earth Federation]], while [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Heero]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Kira, Athrun, Shinn]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Setsuna, and Saji]] all being part of a militia for space colonies that are not aligned with either the Federation nor Zeon. There was one time when Heero and Setsuna show up and destroy a Federation base (apparently related to Cyber Newtypes), which might've caused a skirmish with Connect Force, if not for [[Manga/GetterRobo Invaders]] showing up to force them to team-up, but that was about it. Regardless, all of said colony personnel do end joining Connect Force.

** Having been dragged away from their Earth, [[Anime/CodeGeass Suzaku, Lloyd, and Cecile]] end up working with the [[Anime/ZoidsChaoticCentury the Guylos Empire, under Karl Schwarz]]. And, as fate would have it, [[Anime/ZoidsChaoticCentury the Helic Republic]] is one of the extraterrestrial peoples that [[[[Anime/CodeGeass Black Knights members Zero, C.C., and Kallen]] are assisting.

* GuestFighter: As mentioned above, [[Characters/MasouKishin Masaki and the Cybuster]] show up in this game.

* UnexpectedCharacter: ''Manga/SgtFrog'' is the type of show '''nobody''' saw coming. While it's true that both the main character and the author are HUGE Gundam fans and that mecha have appeared in ''Keroro'' before, the series is more of a {{Gag|Series}} WidgetSeries. But hey, at least Keroro [[{{Squee}} gets the chance to meet]] [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Amuro Ray]].
