Also known as '''Cyberbots: Full Metal Madness''', this is a [[Fighting Game]] made by [[Capcom]] in 1994 for arcade, [[Sega Saturn]] and [[PlayStation]]. The game is Capcom's attempt to create a [[Street Fighter]] clone using [[Humongous Mecha|Humongous Mechas]]. Said mechas come from another game, a [[Beat'Em Up]] called [[Armored Warriors]].
 
The story takes place in the end of the 21st century, where the Earth begins to become overpopulated, leading to many people living in space colonies. The primary army of Earth, "Earth Force", has been conducting experiments; their work, along with the actions of the playable characters, will determine the future of Earth.
 
In the game, the player has to choose a pilot and one of the available mechas, called Variant Armors, and then duke it out against other pilots and mechas. The parts of these VAsVariant Armors can be [[Mix-and-Match Critters|Mix And Matched]] to affect the general playstyle. In fact, during the battle, the players can lose their parts, along with their special moves and attacks, but also pick them back up.
 
Initially playable characters:
 
* '''Jin Saotome''', a [[Hot-Blooded]] pilot whose father died a year before, and who wants to honor his memory by becoming the best VAVariant Armor pilot in the galaxy. He looks up to Gawaine. Pilots the BX-02 Blodia.
* '''Santana Laurence''', an egotistic loner who sometimes works as a mercenary. Good friends with Gawaine. Pilots the RF-004 Reptos.
* '''Mary Miyabi''', a captain of the Earth Force. Pilots the FZ-900J Killer Bee.
Line 33 ⟶ 30:
* '''Final Weapon's Brain G.O.D.''', the [[Big Bad]] of the game. Pilots the X-0 Warlock.
* '''Ken Saotome''', Jin's brother who was also a friend of SHADE and Gawaine, and was killed a year before the conflict.
* '''Emperor Deathsatan''', the king of Heldorado and the Milky Way Express, and Devilotte's father. He owns a Warlock VAVariant Armor of his own, but more importantly, he's the owner of Zero Gouki/Akuma.
 
The series remained in obscurity until Devilotte was featured in ''Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo'' in 1996. Jin also made the cut for ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom Clash of the Superheroes]]'' and ''[[Tech Romancer]]'' in 1998, with Devilotte and her lackeys making the cut as a selectable [[Assist Character]] in the former, and ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom 2]]''. Finally, Blodia was featured in ''[[Namco X Capcom]]'' as a mecha for [[Forgotten Worlds|Sylphie]]. It's now available as a downloadable game in the [[Playstation Network]], under Japanese Imports.
 
== {{tropelist|Phase 2... PROCEED ==}}
* [[Achey Scars]]: Jin.
* [[The Aloner]]: Santana.
* [[Attack Drone]]: Bit weapon.
* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: Emperor Deathsatan.
* [[Beginner's Luck]]: Bao and Mao have no knowledge about piloting VAVariant Armor at all. Luckily, their chosen Fordy just happens to be pre-programmed for automatic self-defense.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Don't mention Jin's {{spoiler|dead father}}.
* [[Big Bad]]: Weapon's Brain: G.O.D., the entity behind all the conflict.
* [[Blond Guys Are Evil]]: Devilotte... subverts this.
* [[Brainwashed]]: {{spoiler|Arieta}}.
* [[Captain Ersatz]]: The Zero Akuma/Gouki [[Secret Character]] towards [[Street Fighter|Akuma]]. It has his name, his moveset, and his appearance.
* [[The Casanova]]: Santana.
* [[Crossover]]: Devilotte is featured in ''Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo'' as a [[Secret Character]], and Jin and Blodia are [[Secret Character|Secret Characters]] in ''[[Tech Romancer]]''.
** [[Capcom vs. Whatever]]: Jin is featured alongside Blodia (in the role of Jin's [[Assist Character]]) in ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom Clash of the Superheroes|Marvel vs. Capcom 1]]'' (where Devilotte was also an [[Assist Character]]) and ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom 2]]''. There's also the aforementioned Blodia appearance in ''[[Namco X Capcom]]''. Aside from the playable appearances, ''[[Tatsunoko vs. Capcom]]'' had the appearances of Devilotte and her lackeys in [[Yatterman|Doronjo]] and [[Science Ninja Team Gatchaman|Joe The Condor]]'s ending, and Blodia and Santana in [[Lost Planet|PTX-40A]]'s ending.
* [[Cybernetics Eat Your Soul]]: SHADE.
* [[Evil All Along]]: {{spoiler|Earth Force}}.
* [[Expy]]: Devilotte bears more than a passing resemblance to [[Yatterman|Doronjo]]: both are blonde comedic mecha villains constantly accompanied by two male lackeys. This was [[Lampshaded]] in Doronjo's ending in ''[[Tatsunoko vs. Capcom]]''. For bonus points, Super 8 looks like Agmiss, the stage 2 boss from ''Armored Warriors''.
* [[Girl in a Box]] / [[People Jars]]: Arieta.
* [[Good All Along]]: {{spoiler|Mary}} was just following orders. But from the wrong people. {{spoiler|After realizing this, she does a [[Heel Face Turn]].}}.
* [[Idiot Hair]]: Chiyomaru, and boy, are they weird.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]] / [[Redemption Equals Death]]: {{spoiler|SHADE}} in Jin's ending.
* [[He's Just Hiding]]: {{spoiler|Gawaine in his ending.}}.
* [[Hot-Blooded]]: Jin.
* [[La Résistance]]: Chiyomaru and Tessan.
* [[Laser Blade]]: Swordman, Killer Bee and Helion have one. Reptos has a pair of them hidden in its forearms. Aside from VAVariant Armor, Gawaine also carries one around.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Many people theorize that Jin Saotome's name is derived from the last name's of Hayato Jin and Professor Saotome of ''[[Getter Robo]]''. Jin's [[Hot-Blooded|hot-bloodedness]] and crazy fighting style show he has more than a little bit of Ryoma in him, too.
* [[A Mech by Any Other Name]]: Variant Armors.
Line 69 ⟶ 68:
* [[Retired Badass]]: Gawaine.
* [[Rich Bitch]]: Devilotte. Weird enough, as it's revealed in her storyline that all Deathsatan gave Devilotte before her journey is ''300 yen''.
* [[Shock and Awe]]: RF-009 Lightning's spark arm.
* [[Shout-Out]]:
** Santana's name might be a reference to the famous Latin guitar player Carlos Santana. It may also be a nod towards ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' -- 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).
** The name of the Robot Version of Akuma in the Game, Zero Gouki is a shout out to EVA 00 from ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'', which was sometimes called Zerogoki.
* [[SNK Boss]]: Warlock.
Line 77 ⟶ 76:
* [[Spider Tank]]: Jackal, Cyclone and Talantula.
* [[Spikes of Villainy]]: Averted with Jin; his mecha (Blodia) has spikes, but he's a good guy.
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: ''[[Tech Romancer]]''.
* [[Stalker with a Crush]]: Devilotte towards Gawaine.
* [[Terrible Trio]]: Devilotte, and her lackeys Dave and Xavier.
* [[This Is a Drill]]: GP-D2 Cyclone has drill arm. BX-07R Riot and FZ-900J Killer Bee can transform into a giant drill.
* [[Transforming Mecha]]: The aforementioned Riot and Killer Bee. And UVA-02 Helion, which can transform into a helicopter.
* [[Turned Against Their Masters]]: {{spoiler|Mary, after learning the truth behind Earth Force.}}.
* [[I Just Want to Be Normal|We Just Want To Get Out Of This Conflict]]: Bao and Mao.
* [[Whip It Good]]: RF-027 Jackal's heat rod arm.
