Line 130:
** [[Heel Face Turn]]: ...or six or seven of these. Justified as a means to increase the number of [[Player Characters]].
* [[Fallen Hero]]: Tempest Hawker's the only Aggressor who pulls a genuine [[Face Heel Turn]] to evil, all due to {{spoiler|[[Dead Little Sister|losing his wife and daughter]] in the Hope Incident}}.
* [[Gag Boobs]]:
* [[Game Mod]]:
{{quote|Bullet starting in a Gespenst MK II Type-S.
Gilliam's Gespenst having a Gespenst Kick (despite not being a MK II Type-S) and having [[Mythology Gag|Hero Senki]] as its theme song.<br />
Line 140:
{{spoiler|The [[Final Boss]] not being the Einst, but Beowulf and the Gespenst MK III}}. }}
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHD43dOhEME There is also another]. This hack adds the units: Wildschwein, Wild Raubtier, Grungust Type 0, Grungust Custom, Granzon, Excellence S, Excellence C, and Jaohm in addition to 2 new pilots. Latooni's, and Katina's OGs themes are in this along with music from SRW Advance, Hero Senki, and Lord of Elemental. Also Sanger can have Gate of Magus as a pilot theme.
* [[Genre Savvy]]:
** {{spoiler|[[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Which allows Ryoto to restart the already hindered MK III (they were forced to power down the T-Link System to make it work), even after Inspector Mekibos cripples it and renders it - or so he thought - incapable of fighting. Ryoto goes on to link the MK III with the AM Gunner and fire the Gunner's Ballistic Cannon, which had never been tried before, and was suspected to have a low chance of actually working. Mekibos is forced to retreat, unsurprisingly]], complete with [[Theme Music Power-Up]], as "Ace Pilot" kicks in while the MK III starts responding again}}.
** Fairly early on in SRW OG 2, Kyosuke puts in a request for a major overhall for the Alt because he knew that he would be fighting stronger opponents. Unfortunately, he's consistently sortied into battle, which doesn't give the Alt any time to rest, and the machine gets hit with the [[The Worf Effect]] several times in the story. It's only after {{spoiler|Axel rips the Alt apart}} that he gets the greenlight to upgrade it to the Alt Eisen Riese.
* [[Got Me Doing It]]:
** Hell, Ryusei's [[Otaku|otakuness]] and tendency to [[Calling Your Attacks]] has rubbed off on Latooni a lot by the sequel.
** It's gotten to a point the developers decided nearly every allied character's required to do this when performing the Gespenst Kick in the Gespenst Type-S. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISQIKZTr5d4 See] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-EmFkf-jUk for] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3zJCj0l5lk yourself][http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1Whnv2KS2o here].
* [[Gratuitous Foreign Language|Gratuitous Foreign Languages]]
* [[Guide Dang It]]:
* [[Half-Identical Twins]]:
* [[Harder Than Hard]]:
* [[The Hero's Journey]]:
* [[Hot-Blooded]]:
* [[Humans Are Bastards]]:
** Though the Inspectors (well, most of them) are a bunch of arrogant [[Hypocrite|hypocrites]].
* [[Humans Are Special]]:
** To elaborate, all it takes to beat thousands of mooks and a moon-sized [[Big Bad]] from destroying the world are [[Cool Ship|two battleships]], some [[Falling Into the Cockpit|field-forged teenagers/young adults]], [[Humongous Mecha|PTs, AMs, super robots]] and the [[Heroic Willpower|will of people]].
** Though plenty justified: half of the cast aren't "normal" to begin with, per se.
*** Neither are their [[Super Prototype|mecha]], except...see [[Badass Normal]] entry.
* [[Humongous Mecha|Humongous]] [[Combining Mecha|Combining]] and/or [[Transforming Mecha|Transforming]] [[Real Robot|Real]] and [[Super Robot|Super Robots]]
* [[I Know Mortal Kombat]]:
* [[Jerkass]]:
* [[Lethal Chef]]:
** Gecko tails and viper fangs; just some of the ingredients in her health drinks.
** A subversion exists: Elzam's a [[Supreme Chef|damn good chef]], and can consume Kusuha's health drink, and says it's GOOD; he can even ''[[Up to Eleven|list out all the ingredients used]]''. Arado thinks so too, but he doesn't have taste buds. Lamia's knocked out cold by it, but feels great, afterwards. Speaking of Elzam, some of his dishes are hinted to taste good, unless you know what some of it is made from...then it gets way less appetizing.
* [[Like Cannot Cut Like]]: Zanger's Colossal Blade and his [[Evil Twin]]'s.
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]
* [[Love Redeems]]:
* [[Massive Multiplayer Crossover]]:
* [[Me Love You Long Time]]:
* [[Minmaxer's Delight]]: The SP Regen and Attacker traits are very nearly obligatory for all characters.
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]:
** Just those aren't enough: Aya, Lamia, Kusuha and Lune fulfill their fair share of this trope, as well. So will [[Super Robot Wars MX|Aqua Centrum]] once the MX storyline rolls in. Hell, even [[Super Robot Wars Destiny|Cliana Rimskaya]] fit in with her Seolla-sized breasts, short skirt and sleeveless outfit.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]:
* [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain]]:
* [[No Fourth Wall]]:
** In OG2, when you get the {{spoiler|[[Spell My Name with an "S"|DyGenGuar/Daizengar]]}} and the Chapter 30 title pops up.
** ''The Inspectors'' doesn't fail to continue the tradition -- after being soundly "Trombe'd" by Ratsel Feinschmecker in episode 9, Vigagi managed to [http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/5315/4thwall.jpg grab the edge of the frame with Ratsel in it] and push it off the screen in his frustration.
* [[Original Generation]]:
* [[Pettanko]]:
* [[Playboy Bunny]]:
** This comes full circle in Divine Wars, when Captain Lefina Enfield is goaded into doing so. Cue [[Male Gaze]], [[Nosebleed]] and [[Spit Take]]. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89U20jHAXqE It's priceless...]
*** This even gets a reaction out of [[The Stoic|Kyosuke]], of all people. His [[Eye Take|WTF face]] is hilarious.
* [[The Power of Love]]:
** In-game, the ''Love'' Spirit Command's likely the most powerful available. While it uses most of the pilot's Spirit Points, it gives them all the "major" commands at a heavily discounted cost compared to if you used each individually.
* [[Psycho for Hire]]:
** Can you really blame them? They ''are'' {{spoiler|clones of Arado, and fit the [[Evil Counterpart]] motif}}.
* [[Ramming Always Works]]:
** The bog-standard/last-ditch melee attack used by some Gespensts is basically a mecha-sized shoulder charge. There's also the enhanced ramming Sonic Breaker attacks used by the Guarlions, Calions, Fairlions, Astelion and so on.
* [[Recursive Canon]]: At the end of ''Divine Wars'' Ryusei buys a Gespenst [[The Merch|model kit]].
* [[Relationship Values]]:
** And naturally, [[Combination Attack|Combination Attacks]], one complete with witty banter.
* [[Retcon]]:
** Units from OG1 are still playable in OG2, then carried over to OG Gaiden.
** Several characters originally [[Killed Off for Real]] manage to stick around.
** Axel turning from a bonafide [[Jerkass]] in OG2 to a proper [[Noble Demon]] in OGs...{{spoiler|eventually earning himself an [[Super Robot Wars/Awesome|awesome]] [[Heel Face Turn]] in OG Gaiden}}.
* [[Ridiculously Human Robot]]:
* [[Rule of Cool]]:
* [[Self-Deprecation]]:
* [[Shipper on Deck]]:
* [[Shoot the Shaggy Dog]]:
* [[Shout-Out]]:
** In ''The Inspector'', the two pilots of Aguila's mech (Sol [[Gravion|Gravilion]]) are Touga and Eiji with different hair colors.
*** One of ''Gravion's'' bunnies also appears in the same role in an episode.
** The "one more hit" lines in ''The Inspector'' animated are obviously a shout out to the gameplay, where after doing numerous powerful attacks, the player still finds himself needing to execute one more attack to finish off the opposing unit. {{spoiler|The finale lampshades it some more when the heroes split into smaller groups, where each team gangs up on an Einst doppelganger.}}
* [[Smug Snake]]:
** Kenneth & Graien are not particularly heroic themselves, though.
** Not to mention [[Super Robot Wars Compact 3|Mizal Touval]].
* [[Spared by the Adaptation]]: [[Super Robot Wars Compact 3|Fernando, Alion and Maysis]] do not die this time around.
* [[Spoiler Opening]]:
* [[Stealth Mentor]]:
* [[Stepford Smiler]]:
** [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]
* [[Super Move Portrait Attack]]:
* [[Theme Naming]]: The "classes" at the School are named after metals, such as Bronzo (bronze), Aurum (gold), and Latooni (brass).
* [[This Is a Drill]]:
** The second game gives the Grungust Type 3 a Drill-tipped [[Rocket Punch]].
* [[Title Drop]]:
* [[Troperiffic]]:
* [[Ubermensch]]:
* [[Ultimate Universe]]:
* [[Verbal Tic]]:
* [[Weapon of Choice]]:
* [[You Bastard]]: Light example: in the first game, all the things that Tenzan says he'll do are examples of what the Player can do within the games mechanics. Including the use of deliberatly dieing so as to start a mission over, with your levels gained up to the point you died carried over, thus 'grinding'.
* [[You Will Be Assimilated]]:
* [[Zerg Rush]]:
** This is basically the only Einst tactic: it's even commented on by most of the characters.
