History YMMV / HeavyObject

** The unnamed [[InsaneAdmiral Alaskan Base Officer]] is a psychotic, [[SociopathicSoldier cruel soldier]] serving the Faith Organization, and [[StarterVillain the first enemy Qwenthur and Havia face]]. Seeing [[HumongousMecha Objects]] as superior to humans and refusing to accept harmony, the Officer starts a battle at the Legitimacy Kingdom Base, ignoring their white flag of peace. He sends out both his troops and his Object Prometheus, aka the Water Strider, into battle, causing a great deal of casualties. Capturing Milinda, Qwenthur, and Havia, the Officer plans to execute the latter two, choosing to [[ColdBloodedTorture brutally interrogate]] Milinda via hypnosis and electrodes, with no regards to how her personality will be affected, planning to hang her afterwards from the Object's guns as a display until she freezes to death to serve as a warning to his enemies. When his base is invaded by Frolaytia and her soldiers, the Officer refuses to surrender, gleefully attempting to shoot Milinda, Qwenthur, and Havia when they try to escape.
** Volume 3: [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain Prizewell City Slicker]] is an [[SociopathicSoldier Elite]] of the Legitimacy Kingdom’s 24th Mechanized Maintenance Battalion, and a raving language protectionist. A smug sadist, Prizewell seeks to rid the Legitimacy Kingdom of its foreign languages, as he feels they’re holding his people back, as well as reinstate the Legitimacy Kingdom's abolished [[SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil slave class]]. Stealing Object data from the Information Alliance, he plans to slaughter numerous miners who were planning to defect to the Legitimacy Kingdom and manipulate the fallout to his advantage. When that fails, he uses the stolen data to create six dummy Objects that lead an attack on Victoria Island, a Legitimacy Kingdom immigrant city, having already destroyed the 37th's very own Snow Quake and Active Sledge Objects. Once his dummy Objects have been destroyed due to an oversight on his part, he tries to kill Qwenthur, [[NeverMyFault seeing him as the one responsible for their destruction]], before going after Milinda's Baby Magnum. While Prizewell claims to be preserving the Legitimacy Kingdom's official language, [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist in reality]], he’s nothing more than a xenophobic hypocrite who doesn't even care for his own soldiers.

** Volume 11: [[FatBastard Flag Eggnog]], [[TheEvilPrince the first prince]] of the Legitimacy Kingdom's Warta District, is a [[NoIndoorVoice loud-mouthed]] miscreant [[ZeroPercentApprovalRating widely despised]] by his people due to his rampant gaffes, which usually prompts him to start a war to cover it up. When the Colorful Vanilla Drug is reported to have resulted in a war, he claims the drug wars are fake and are just fabricated by conspiracy theorists to blame the government, which only served to call for his resignation. In the past, he exploited a century long conflict between the Winchell and Vanderbilt families for his own gain by engineering 21 recent civil wars to cover the same sort of gaffes he made. In the present, he arranged Azureyfear Winchell to massacre Lady Vanderbilt and over 100,000 people aboard the LK Ship Rose & Lily, which he also happens to be on. [[TheQuisling He also collaborated with the Information Alliance's Martini Sisters to gain and exploit the information on the two families]] to manipulate an even bigger conflict to cover another gaffe. Finally, when things start going downhill for him, Flag drew a gun and attempted to put Lady Vanderbilt, his Information Alliance Contact, the military, the press, and everyone who dared mock him to the slaughter. Although he claimed his uncontrollable gaffes and war cover ups were beneficial to his country, [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist he's nothing more than]] an incompetent, [[DirtyCoward cowardly]], and deluded traitor with an elitist viewpoint, who will bribe or kill anyone when things don't go his way.

** Anime: The [[CorruptCorporateExecutive corrupt]] Legitimacy Kingdom [[ArmsDealer Councillor Flide]] in the anime [[AdaptationalVillainy has more crimes to his name]]. When Qwenthur and Havia located the Gen 0.5 Object, Flide was quick to block them from getting reinforcements in hopes of getting them killed, while setting up the four super country alliance to fall into a trap that would result in it being wiped out ([[BadBoss including his own soldiers]]). Later, when the 37th division came to remove him from office, he sent out the Exact Javelin, with an elite he secretly prepared, in an attempt to attack the Baby Magnum and treat its destruction as a training accident. After escaping imprisonment for his crimes, he resorted to blackmail to gain resources for his revenge, which involved using the Mirror of Truth program to brainwash Milinda into sending the Baby Magnum on a rampage in hopes of wiping out the 37th division along with Klondike in hopes of triggering a four-way struggle between the four super nations. The first target destroyed was his hideout, with him in it, alongside the means to disable the program's effects. While he claimed what he did was for the safety of his country, [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist Flide was, in reality, a greedy and unethical man who wanted to stay in power with no regards for innocent lives lost]], never viewing elites as human beings.

* HilariousInHindsight: Creator/MicahSolusod and Morgan Garrett voiced Touma and Kaori in the [[LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex ''Index'' series]] with the latter trying to win Touma's affection. In Heavy Object, the former voices Havia and the latter voices Frolaytia. This time, the former wants the latter's affections very badly.

* SpecialEffectsFailure: A minor, though rather noticeable one from episode 16. The 2d animated Milinda is poorly inserted and jittery looking into a couple of fully 3D tracking shots of her Object's cockpit.

* BrokenBase: The frequent sexual themes, as well as the {{Fanservice}} of Frolaytia and Milinda. Many, many fans in both Japan and the West consider it fetish fuel. On the other hand, another group who is more interested in the plot considers it completely unnecessary. In addition, there's a bit of {{Squick}} among the dissenters as the Princess is only 14.

** [[SilentAntagonist Dimiksy Nikolaschka]] of the Legitimacy Kingdom's Volga District, from Volume 6, was [[BastardBastard born as a result of his father cheating on the queen]]. Driven by a desire to keep this fact from the world and ensure his enthronement, he decided to kill his other family members and those investigating his origins, while implanting false information in the lineage department. In the past, he staged a bombing to procure the Object, Assault Signal, which resulted in many deaths, including its intended Elite, Execelsyla, and triggering the wrath of its designer, Claire Whist. Later, he ordered fake Information Alliance Troops to assassinate the White Bears, the bodyguards of his sister, Stavia, his final target, with a bombing. One day, he ordered his terrorists to bomb Stavia's hiding place, prompting her maid, Mikfa, to escape with her to Lexpop, where an ambush resulted in Mikfa being taken hostage as a means to make Stavia use the Assault Signal to fight Dimiksy in his Object, Broad Sky Saber, with the latter hoping to kill her after winning the Royal Duel and savoring her fear. When the Forrest Roller Object and the White Bears (having operated under the Unicorn alias) intervene, Dimiksy fired a laser to destroy the Forest Roller and another that almost killed the White Bears in an attempt to protect his object's weak point. He then finally aims a third laser at the float Havia, Mikfa, and Qwenthur were on, hoping to kill them.
** [[WarForFunAndProfit Acres Kiss-of-Rose]], aka [[{{Greed}} Azathoth]], from Volume 10, is the [[CorruptCorporateExecutive CEO]] of Salem Logistics, one of the 7th Cores ruling the Capitalist Corporation, and the one behind [[AntiVillain Nyarlathotep]] 's questionable actions throughout the story. Formerly a Capitalist Corporation spy, he formed the secret group Outer Gods to make life easier for his fellow spies. Becoming a CEO for Salem Logistics, he [[FaceHeelTurn abandoned his old lifestyle]] and friends to indulge in his newfound wealth and status. Creating the Silver Key instant delivery system, Acres refuses to use jets to deliver packages, seeing them as a waste of money. Wanting to use the Panama Canal as a transportation route, he orders an attack on the nearby, safe Soberania District, where many innocents are killed—including Nyarlathotep's wife and son—turning the entire district into a literal Hell on Earth, all while claiming to be wiping out terrorist training camps, later doing the same thing to the Indian Ocean. Hearing news of the Gigant Hustler, he has two of his indestructible Objects compete, seeing the event as a trade show meant to showcase the power of his Objects. With one of his Objects destroyed and his reputation ruined, Acres plans on [[FalseFlagOperation staging a fake large-scale attack]] to regain some respect.

** [[AxCrazy Skuld Silent-Third]], Elite of the Faith Organization's Trinity Style, is an insane SerialKiller who loves nothing more than killing. The Faith Organization and her sisters have done their best to focus her malice on the battlefield, but she still periodically massacres surrendering soldiers and civilians. Those only wet her appetite as Skuld far prefers killing people with her own two hands, especially enjoying strangling as she can ''feel'' the life leave her victim, though she recently has discovered the joys of medieval torture devices. Her preference in targets is androgynous men or boys - age and allegiance don't matter, which is why any androgynous soldiers who join her unit tend to go mysteriously "missing". Ultimately killing in battle is no longer satisfying her, so in the EX volume she set her sights on abandoning the Faith Organization in order to disappear into a safe country where she could murder to her heart's content, trying to kill her sisters while doing so. She later returned in volume 15 where she inadvertently helped the protagonists by slaughtering most of her fellow soldiers and destroying their Object, before trying her hardest to trigger a world war twice.

* CriticalResearchFailure: The "quirk" of the Capistrano family that its women will almost always birth boys. It's the ''male'' gamete in humans, and more specifically the Y chromosome, that determines the biological sex of the child, which is something you learn in first grade.

** The unnamed [[InsaneAdmiral Alaskan Base Officer]] is a psychotic, [[SociopathicSoldier cruel soldier]] serving the Faith Organization, and [[StarterVillain the first enemy Quenser and Heivia face]].

She's also an idol singer, so as she goes toe to toe with the Baby Magnum, she starts singing one of her pop songs, and coordinates her movements so Qwenther winds up screaming in rhythm with the song.

* LoveItOrHateIt: You either love it for being a unique, LightNovel trope-filled take on the mecha genre that doesn't take itself too seriously, or consider it a butchering of the war story and mecha genres and an insult to the great series of those genres that came before.

* InformedWrongness: The reporter in the Australia arc. While attacking the enemy troops would give them justification to start massacring civilians on a country-wide scale, the troops in the village were already about to do that. Considering that he had no idea the heroic forces were coming, his decision to snipe the enemy soldiers to save the helpless people is pretty understandable.
