1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
2** The theme songs written for ''Astray'' for the ''VideoGame/SDGundamGGeneration'' series, including Lowe's theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0pawexXyHU Junk Guild: Red Frame]] and Gai's theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOyPop-WLFM Serpent Tail: Mission Commence]].
3** Also [[Music/TMRevolution T.M. Revolution]]'s ''Zips'' during the action sequence in the Red Frame animated short!
4** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jX9n9POLEE Ergnes's unnamed theme song]], courtesy of ''Cross Rays'', is a track that highlights the contrast between the [[KnightInShiningArmor Delta's grace]] and [[HairTriggerTemper Ergnes himself]].
5** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwklBwDBwxw The theme of Frame Astrays]], also from ''Cross Rays'', plays more like a SuperRobot anime, which is only fitting given the unique natures of the only characters from the series featured in the game.
6* CrazyIsCool: Lowe Guele. This is the guy who fashioned a katana for his Gundam, and later forged a ''150 meter version of it'', just because he thought that would be awesome (the sword is mounted on the side of their ship, and requires special equipment to wield). He also once attached a [=BuCUE=] head to the Red Frame's hand for use as an impromptu double beam saber (this being the only reason he bought the [=BuCUE=] head at a junk auction).
7* EnsembleDarkhorse:
8** Shiho Hanenfuss, the mute EnsembleDarkhorse of SEED anime, has much more of a role in Astray. Though still a relatively minor character, she actually ''speaks'' in the manga (she would have spoken in the anime, mind you, but her voice actress bailed). Naturally, her extended role made her even more popular.
9** Canard Pars has a few fans due to his cool MS, [[FlawedPrototype sympathetic motivation]], and his desire to murder [[InvincibleHero Kira]]. Him becoming something of an AntiHero helps too.
10* ItsPopularNowItSucks:
11** Like the [=HGUC=] Unicorn kits, Some foreign Gunpla builders are starting to get tired to Bandai releasing the MG Astray variants (Astray Noir, Astray Turn Red).
12** The entire series is this as well, as the sequels continue to milk its popularity by giving more Astray variants.
13* LesYay: Very briefly when the Professor and Erica Simmons greet each other, with the sparkle-and-flower imagery coming up during their embrace. The manga's SD comic strip lampshades the author's intent when the two go somewhere private for some "catching up to do", leaving Lowe and the rest of the gang to assume that they're gonna do ''it'', and then subverts the trope as it turns out that the two are actually catching up on their study of Orb's mobile suit development.
14* SignatureScene: The fight between the Red Frame and the [[FlawedPrototype CGUE DEEP Arms]] in the animated PV, to the point where the Tactical Recon [=BuCUE=] head is always packaged with kits that include the Red Frame's Flight Unit.
