Line 35:
* [[Blind Idiot Translation]] ''MARZ'''s story mode, complete with ridiculously badly done voiceovers.
* [[Blood Knight]]: Gil in ''MARZ''.
* [[Bonus Boss]]: The original Fei-Yen from the PlayStation 2 version of ''Operation Moorgate'', if you can get to the final stage in under nine minutes.
* [[Bonus Boss]]: Several, but the most omnipresent is Jaguarandi, a giant, mutated Raiden that is actually a fatal error in the MSBS system that punishes players who win by Time Over. There's also the original Fei-Yen (exclusive to the [[PlayStation 2]] version), A-Jim (a crystalline mecha), and its mate Guerlain.
** Jaguarandi actually takes the 1P color scheme of the mech the player is using, and uses a variety of weapons that are also used by other Virtua-Roids, especially those of Raiden and Bal Bas Bow.
** It is actually more appropriate to call Jaguarandi and A-Jim penalty bosses; the original Fei-Yen is a true [[Bonus Boss]] though.
* [[The Brute]]: The SHBVD Raidens in ''MARZ''.
* [[Catgirl]]: Fei-Yen the Tiger in ''Oratorio Tangram;;. Although her ears are actually heart-shaped, she has tiger stripes and a tail.
Line 44 ⟶ 42:
* [[Child Prodigy]]: Lilin Plajina, developer of LLN series was just little girl when she built Original Fei Yen.
* [[The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard]]: It's been noted that while the [[Attack Drone|Bal]] series mechs are generally very difficult to play with for players, the computer always seems to know how to abuse them ''just'' right.
* [[Computer Voice]]: The loadingannouncer screensthroughout inthe ''Operation Moongate''series.
** Also the famous "Get Ready" cue before fights.
* [[Cool Sword]]: [[The Hero]] Temjin.
* [[Cosplay]]: Fei-yen, which has had several different outfits over the games and even more outside of them. Some people go a step further, such as [http://daitrombe.net/image/show/20680 this]. The Nanoha one is particularly fitting since it can be called "[[Stealth Pun|Fei-Yen with Raging Heart]]".
Line 75 ⟶ 72:
* [[Fragile Speedster]]: Viper II and descendants, Specineff, Fei-Yen.
* [[Game Breaking Bug]]: In the PC version of ''Operation Moongate'', running head on into Belgdor can cause your mech to get stuck ''in'' Belgdor. This changes your screen to entirely light blue, and the round never ends because you can't hit Belgdor, and Belgdor cannot hit you and the timer breaks.
** Also[[Glass theCannon]]: The Belgdor, which, whilepossesses possessedreliable of reliablefirepower, long range homing missiles as a primary weapon, is quite sluggish, not exactly great in middle to close combat, and is one stiff breeze away from being blown off its feet and knocked down, leaving it vulnerable to even more damage.▼
* [[Glass Cannon]]: Bal-Bas-Bow. [[Final Boss|Z-Gradt]] with his cannon deployed. Raiden in ''Virtual-On Oratorio Tangram'' has a move that blows off all his armor, making it faster but naturally more fragile. Angelan is one, too.
▲** Also the Belgdor, which, while possessed of reliable, long range homing missiles as a primary weapon, is quite sluggish, not exactly great in middle to close combat, and is one stiff breeze away from being blown off its feet and knocked down, leaving it vulnerable to even more damage.
* [[Gratuitous English]]: The infamous "GET READY!" message. There's also the endings of ''Oratorio Tangram'' and ''Force'', which give a little eulogy for your mech.
** Those are actually the mangled lyrics to the songs "Everyone Everywhere" and "Just For A Moment", respectively.
Line 90 ⟶ 86:
* [[Jack of All Stats]]: The Temjin series.
* [[Joke Character]]: The completely useless Vox variants Lee and Loo. Lee has nothing but a weak gun. Loo only has a set of missles that have been described as "About as damaging as throwing a toilet paper roll at somebody."
** From ''Oratorio Tangram'' 5.66, we have the 10/80 Special. It's basically a modified Temjin that plays like the original ''Operation Moongate'' version. The pros? It has much better control, and is faster than the original. The cons? It cannot airdash, lacks special moves except the Gliding Ram, and has much weaker attacks.
* [[Kikuko Inoue]]: Believe it or not, Tangram is actually female, and as the famed [[Yamato Nadeshiko]] portrayer as her voice.
* [[Killer Robot]]: Jaguarandi. Z-Gradt.
Line 131 ⟶ 127:
* [[Super Robot]]: Truthfully, the game kind of blurs the line between Super and Real Robot. Some mecha, like Temjin and the Viper series, are very much like Real Robots, but then you have the ''Sailor Moon''-like Fei-Yen, and Angelan, which can summon giant Ice dragons and send them to attack you.
* [[Super Robot Wars]] ''[[Super Robot Wars Alpha|Alpha 3]]'' and ''[[Super Robot Wars K|K]]''.
* [[Sword and Gun]]: Temjin's combinesM.P.B.L. bothis this combined into one.
** And it also qualifies the rule of [[Cool Sword]]!
* [[Sword Beam]]: Nearly every VR with a close-combat weapon can use these.
* [[This Is a Drill]]: Dordray, as well as his later [[Expy|Expies]] Vox Bob-1 and Bob-2, have arm-mounted drills.
Line 139 ⟶ 134:
* [[Trigger Happy]]: Jaguarandi.
* [[Unusual Ears]]: Parodied by several Fei-Yen models, especially the "Fei-Yen the [animal]" models.
* [[Wave Motion Gun]]:
* [[Wave Motion Gun]]: The Raiden's iconic shoulder lasers, which were originally mounted on ''battlecruisers''. [[Captain Obvious|Get hit and much pain ensues]].
** The Raiden's iconic shoulder lasers, which were originally mounted on ''battlecruisers''. [[Captain Obvious|Get hit and much pain ensues]]. It almost [[One-Hit Kill|one-shots]] [[Fragile Speedster|Viper II]]. Of course, that's assuming you're firing the regular standing laser. The dashing and air varieties are significantly weaker.
** Temjim's right-turbo RW attack in ''Oratorio Tangram'' turns his M.P.B.L. into one.
** Z-Gradt's main cannon in the original game can take off at least half of your health.
** Mikoto Misaka's Voost Weapon in ''Index'', her signature Railgun attack. Appropriately, she pilots Raiden.
* [[We Can Rebuild Him]]: The Continue-screen in ''Operation Moongate'' and ''Oratorio Tangram''. Except for Fei-Yen and Angelan, who get the [[Magical Girl]] [[Healing Factor|regeneration sequence]].
