Line 95:
** [[Darkskinned Blonde]]: Well, white hair, but the principle is the same.
----
===
[[File:
'''Voiced by [[Masashi Ebara]] in Japanese and [[Richard Epcar]] (games) and Jason Douglas (anime) in English.'''
Line 104:
* [[Cyborg]]: He is one, but is considered obsolete by the time the series starts. Doesn't stop him from kicking ass all over the place.
* [[Expy]]: Ziggy has a great deal in common with [[RoboCop]], from the [[Robo Cam]] to denying his previous identity {{spoiler|until after some [[Character Development]]}}, and also looks more than a bit like Rutger Hauer as [[Blade Runner|Roy Batty]].
* [[Hammerspace]]: Presumably he uses UMN transport for his [[BFG
* [[Not So Stoic]]: After he sees {{spoiler|Voyager}} in Episode II, we get to see him get ''pissed''. Which leads to...
** [[Hypocritical Humor]]: Invoked by Jr. Ziggy spends a lot of time lecturing Jr to never let his emotions get the better of him during a high stress situation.
Line 115:
* [[We Can Rebuild Him]]: Not that he ''wanted'' to be rebuilt...

[[File:
'''Voiced by [[Rumi Shishido]] in Japanese and [[Sherry Lynn]] (Episode I), Christina Puccelli (Episode II & III), and [[Brittney Karbowski]] (anime) in English.'''
Line 129:
* [[Drives Like Crazy]]: During ''Episode II'''s [[Chase Scene]]. [[Justified]] in that she was driving away from people who were trying to capture her.
* [[Fun with Acronyms]]: Her name means 'Multiple Observative Mimetic Organicus'.
* [[Magical Girl]]: In ''Episode I'', MOMO has in-battle [[Transformation Sequence
* [[Magic Knight]]: Due to gameplay mechanics in Episode III, she can be the best at dealing the most single target physical damage of all playable characters, even if her actual strength is actually dishing magical attacks and heals. Of course, she's not able to take damage as well as other characters, and takes certain gearing to bring her to average defensive wise.
** [[Cute Bruiser]]
Line 147:
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: Episode I and II. We can only conclude that the character designer likes this trope.
----
===
[[File:
'''Voiced by [[Brianne Siddall]] (games) and [[Greg Ayres]] (anime) in English.'''
Line 180:
* [[Young Gun]]: In addition to being [[The Gunslinger]], Jr. completely fits this role as well. {{spoiler|He's both, because he is actually over twenty years old and is definitely experienced enough to be an actual [[The Gunslinger|gunslinger]]. However, since he looks and acts like a typical [[Young Gun]], he fits this too.}} The only difference is that he's not attached to any sort of older mentor.
----

* [[Expy]]: She looks remarkably like Elly from ''[[Xenogears]]''. {{spoiler|Given the ending with her and Abel, this was probably very deliberate.}}
