While in ''Original Generation Gaiden'' he gets a customized Gespenst, his default mecha in MX is either the [[Real Robot Genre]] Cerberus (upgraded to Cerberus Ignite) or [[Super Robot Genre]] Garmraid (upgraded to Garmraid Blaze). Officially for the ''Second Original Generation'', Hugo will pilot the Cerberus by default. However, promotional videos reveal he will also have access to the Garmraid in some unknown capacity.

* [[Anime Hair]]

* [[Artificial Limbs|Artificial Body]]

* [[Transforming Mecha]]: Part of the [[Mid-Season Upgrade]] package, allowing Aqua to become the main pilot.

As of the ''Second Original Generation'', Aqua is set to co-pilot the Cerberus alongside Hugo..

* [[Christmas Cake]]: Partially subverted; while not exactly of the right age (she's 23), Aqua has brief stigmas of this when she meets the MUCH younger pilots of the other series in MX. In fact, Hugo's younger than her!

** One notable 4Koma lampshades this much to Aqua's distress. {{spoiler|Even [[Super Robot Wars Compact 2|Excellen Browning]] makes a cameo}}.

* [[Stripperific]]

A member of the mercenary Cry Wolves, he's Albero's son and a close friend of Hugo. In MX, {{spoiler|he takes an attack from the [[G Gundam|Devil Gundam]] meant to finish off a seriously injured Hugo, and is mutated by Devil Gundam Cells into a member of the Devil Army. Albero's forced to kill his own son in order to save Hugo}}. Beyond that, little was known about Foglia in his MX incarnation, although it arguably cements {{spoiler|Albero's [[Start of Darkness]]}}.

 

In ''Original Generation Gaiden'', we Foglia wants to show his father he can be a talented pilot just like he is, but his cocky attitude makes Albero hold him back often. As a result, father and son don't always see eye-to-eye on missions, yet despite their differences, Foglia has nothing but respect for his father. When Kai Kitamura approaches Albero with the new Gespenst MK II M Custom models, Foglia jumps at the offer, but is passed over for Hugo. Some time later, {{spoiler|during a solo mission against the Jetzt, Albero attempts to launch a finishing blow on a Jetzt Regisseur, but fails. As the Regisseur attacks, Foglia takes the hit for his father and is killed much more tragically (his death in MX happened off-screen). In response, Hugo attempts to avenge his fallen friend, but winds up getting seriously injured just like in MX}}.

* [[Ascended Extra]]: From a one-note character in MX, into...well, keep reading.

* [[Blessed with Suck]]: Gets constantly passed over because of his attitude. Then, there's the fact he purposefully exists {{spoiler|just to get [[Killed Off for Real]] in the two games he's ever appeared in}}.

== MEDIUS LOCUS/A1 ==

 

 

[[File:1 00279.png|frame]]

The leader of the mercenary Cry Wolves. Introduced in MX as [[The Rival]] to Hugo and Aqua with an interesting connection:{{spoiler|Albero is Hugo's former commander and has been deeply affected by the death and mutation (for a lack of better words) of his son Foglia at the hands of the [[G Gundam|Devil Gundam]]. Having allied with Aqua's mentor, Eldy Mitte, Albero steals the mecha Medius Locus and decides to hunt down the Devil Gundam on his own. Over the course of game, Albero challenges Hugo and Aqua (having been sent by [[The Federation]] to capture him) because nothing will get in the way of his [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]. Eventually, Albero assists Magneito Ten (the protagonist group of MX) in defeating the Devil Gundam. However, Eldy isn't quite pleased, believing Albero to a hindrance to her AI-1 project. Unknowingly, through the course of his actions, Albero wins the appeal of the AI-1 and tells Eldy off. Sadly, once the Medius Locus reaches its third transformation, AI-1 has grown so large it consumes the cockpit of the Medius Locus. Albero appears during the final battle and reveals to Hugo and Aqua he has no regrets over his actions and repeats the Cry Wolves' motto "Always come back alive". Albero is killed along with Eldy and the AI-1 when he activates the Medius Locus' self-destruct program}}.

 

Due to continuity rearrangements, Albero's storyline runs a little differently in Original Generation. As of the ''Second Original Generation'', he will return to pilot the Medius Locus. Tropes associated with Albero are:

* [[Anti-Villain]]: He only goes along Eldy's plans just so he can get his revenge on the Devil Gundam.

* [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]]: Albero's color scheme is black, hence his nickname the "Black Wolf".

* [[Start of Darkness]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58btwrZOIrA As seen in a nightmare Hugo had in MX]. The Cry Wolves are destroyed by the Devil Gundam. Albero becomes desperate enough to turn to Eldy and the Medius Locus as a way to prevent the Devil Gundam incident from ever happening again.

 

[[File:eldy.jpg|frame]]

A scientist obsessed with creating the perfect artificial intelligence. Eldy was Aqua's mentor, and was known as being strict; however, she will go to great lengths to see her research come to fruition. In MX, {{spoiler|she helps Albero hijack the Medius Locus on the condition he allow her to install her creation, AI-1. Since Albero doesn't really care, Eldy decides to help Albero in his quest to destroy the [[G Gundam|Devil Gundam]]. She encounters Hugo and Aqua several times (as they're sent to capture the Medius Locus), yet Eldy keeps her identity a secret in order to manipulate Aqua's emotions. When the Medius Locus transforms into its second form, Albero's quite disturbed by its resemblance to the Devil Gundam and questions Eldy's intentions, though she [[Hand Waves]] the notion of similarities}}.

 

In ''Original Generation Gaiden'', Eldy appears as a researcher within the Earth Federation Army, with Aqua as her assistant/student. After events involving the Wendigo Project, Eldy's placed on the Tsentr Project. Beyond this, not much about Eldy is revealed yet, but with the prologue to MX in ''Original Generation Gaiden'', she'll be back. Tropes associated with Eldy (and for convenience, AI-1) are:

 

* [[Ax Crazy]]: {{spoiler|Made more evident after she merges with AI-1. She cranks it [[Up to Eleven]] in MX in a peculiar way: damaging AI-1 enough that it's left with ''exactly'' 1 HP, Eldy has a special dialogue ''just'' for that moment, mainly where she laughs at how having only 1 hit point left means nothing to AI-1 or something along those lines. It's creepily hilarious}}.

* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: {{spoiler|Eldy gives this to Albero after concluding AI-1 isn't evolving because of him and threatens to shoot Albero. She gets a dose of shock when AI-1 asks her to spare Albero; he drives the point home [[Shut UP, Hannibal|by slapping her]] in the face}}.
