1. Intro

This guide is for some original characters with their units, especially for
original series that Banpresto made for their Super Robot Taisen games. They
are noted as :
- Masou Kishin Cybaster
- The Arch Type Characters
- Chouki Taisen SRX

I know this may not be perfect as it is, but I try my best to inform the right
information about them. This guide may needs some help, so please give me a
hand. I'll be glad to put their names in the credits section. I also glad
to help those who need some info about this guide, especially those who are
fans of the eight shuujinkous. But I can't tolarate things like plagarism,
provocated actions, etc., since this guide is the first that I try to update
full time.

2. Personal Reasons

My own reasons for building this guide is :

1. The SRX Team and Masou Kishin Cybaster is my all time favorite original
series, especially Ryusei Date (SRX) and Tootie Noorbuck, with Hwang Yan
Long (Masou Kishin).
2. The original units (Masou Kishin series and Personal Troopers) are cool,
even much cooler than other unit types in SRW.
3. The eight shuujinkous are much more enjoyable, even with best seiyuus who
gave their voices for them.
4. Some often write about original units (especially the personal troopers
and masou kishin series) in a bad naming gesture, for example Geshpont and
Zamzard/Zamzord. I hope this guide will clear things up, a little bit.

This also reminds me about my first SRW game, which was Super Robot Taisen
EX on the SFC (SNES in the US). That was also the time I got into Masou
Kishin series, which the storyline is quite much deeper than it seems. About
the eight shuujinkous, my first encounter with them was in Dai-4-Ji Super
Robot Taisen on the SFC. That time was also my first encounter with Heavy
Metal L-Gaim series. Even 4th SRW has been re-released in the PS, I just
kinda used to it, with some major character voicing by seiyuus.
Anyway, the purpose of this guide is to show my appreciation towards the SRW
originals as a fan. I hope that you feel the same way,too. Also let's tell
the gaming world that Super Robot Taisen saga will never die!!

Before that, I like to tell you that I decided to use the original titles,
rather than the English titles. Why, do you ask? 'Cause originality is my
style. For that I use these symbols and their meanings are :

- Dai-2-Ji : Dai Ni Ji Super Robot Taisen (2nd SRW)
- Dai-3-Ji : Dai San Ji Super Robot Taisen (3rd SRW)
- EX : Super Robot Taisen EX (SRW EX)
- Dai-4-Ji : Dai Yon Ji Super Robot Taisen (4th SRW)
- F : Super Robot Taisen F (SRW F)
- F Kanketsuhen : Super Robot Taisen F Kanketsuhen (SRW F Final)
- G (Gameboy) : This is the addup title for the Gameboy version of Dai-2-Ji
- S (Scramble) : This is the addup title for the PS version of Dai-4-Ji

II. Masou Kishin Cybaster (Lord Of Elemental Cybaster)

The first original SRW series debuted in Dai-2-Ji by the appearance of the
main character and hero, Masaki Andou. While in EX, there are more
exclusive Masou Kishin characters introduced and a special SFC game made
exclusively for the series entitled, Super Robot Taisen Gaiden : Masou
Kishin (Super Robot War Side Story : Lord Of Elemental).

The four characters here are exclusively pilots their own elemental masou
kishin and with a help of familia creatures, which ables them to launch
Hi-Familia weapons. Note that the masou kishins has their own elemental map
weapon.

In Japan, it is official since May 3rd Masou Kishin Cybaster have been
translated into a TV Anime series, running about 26 episodes and there are
new characters exclusively for the Cybaster TV Anime. Phillip Yee's Super
Robot War Continuum (http://ranma.com/~philyee/srw) has the information of
it and an official link to that article.

Nothing further, here's the characters along with their appearances in SRW

available at the Masou Kishin game.

envolved in any groups until he joins with Shiva Volkruss, but he's gone
freelance again. Birth place in Earth (La Giars -Lan Gran Kingdom-), but he
is also born with the blood of Lan Gran and Earth. Before I put data of his
trusty Granzon (and Neo Granzon, of course!), you may wonder that Shuu has
another name, Kristoff Gran MacSword, which concludes that his father is
from La Giars, whose name is Kaion Gran MacSword (brother of the King Alzarl).
Can you imagine someone with high prana and magic, but blood of earth still
runs through? While performing his mission, Shuu aided by his familia creature,
which is a cute little blue bird named Chika (which is very in love for money)
and accompanied by Saphine Grace (For your notice, Saphine has adored by Shuu's
charismatics so she will do anything for him, even she have to break her bond
with Volkruss).

Phil Yee had dropped me an email containing some important information on Shuu.
It says that Shuu was killed in the 3rd SRW, if you get the real ending (the
title is 'Ragnarok'). But he was ressurected in the EX by Luozorl (the green
haried guy, who rides the Jureiki Nagzart, whose also the high priest
of Volkruss), so he can barely remember everything (but he remember Masaki and
Ryune, altough only a little bit).

10. Personal Favorites

My most favorite characters from the Masou Kishin Saga are Tootie and Yan

II. The Arch Type Characters => BGM : Time To Come

They are also known as The Eight Shuujinkous (The Eight Main Characters),
which they are made by Banpresto for SRW fans who wants another shuujinkou
suits for their tastes. These eight consist of four boys and four girls. All
of them have their distinctive personalities. They first appearance was in
Dai-4-Ji (S), then they arrived again in F. This time they all have voices
in F, which given by seiyuus whom also worked as another role in F and some
famous characters in anime and games.
Here they are in an appropriate order of gender based on their characteristics,
with my own personal opinion about them. And their voice casts in this game,
of course.

1. Hot Blooded With Strong Sense Of Justice
(Note that if you don't change the character attributes, the names is the
default one)

- Lenonjayce Starlord

One of the eight shuujinkous. Call him Jayce. He is really a well-balanced
character, not to mention he got guts. His new hairdo much look like
Ayanami Rei, if you look closely. In this game, he got his voice from seiyuu
Nanba Keichi, who also voicing for Katsu Kobayashi (Kidou Senshi Z Gundam),
Andy Bogard (Garou Densetsu, KOF) and Axl Low (Guilty Gear).
On episode 3 (super robot type), Jayce got amazed on Benkei's Daisetsuzan
Oroshi training and ask Ryo to tell the move. After Kouji explains that the
one's ability comes from the self, Jayce then manifest his own special attack,
named Keikyaku!! Geshpenst Kick.

- Patricia Hackman

One of the eight shuujinkous. Call her Pat. She is very genki type girl, who
act only for justice. Her new look is much more cute, which better than her
old look. Her voice for this game is given by Hayashibara Megumi, one of
Japan's top seiyuus who also voicing for Christina Mackenzie (Kidou Senshi
Gundam 0080), Ayanami Rei (Shin Seiki Evangelion), Nuku Nuku (Bannou Bunka
Nekomusume), Lina Inverse (Slayers) and Musashi (Pocket Monsters).
Like Jayce, Pat also manifested her own attack, which called Hissatsu!!
Geshpenst Punch.

2. Logical But Has Affinity For Different Sex.

- Ilmgard Kazahara

One of the eight shuujinkous. Just call him Ilm for short. He is an easy
going guy, not to mention he's adores women so much. His new look shows him
that. His voice is given by seiyuu Horiuchi Kenyuu, who also voicing for
Mashumar Sero (Gundam ZZ) and Jamil Neate (Kidou Shin Seiki Gundam X). He
is also chosen as the new voice of Duke Fleed (UFO Robo Grandizer) in the
SRW Complete Box.

- Grace Urigin

One of the eight shuujinkous. Grace is a very sweet girl with a very sweet
attidute. Her voice is done by seiyuu Miyamura Yuko, who also voicing for
Soryuu Asuka Langley (Shin Seiki Evangelion) and her debut as Regina (Yuusha
Keisatsu J-Decker).

3. A Little Wierd.

- Hector Madison

One of the eight shuujinkous. Hector is a monkeying around kinda guy.
You should know by looking at some of his funny expressions, which often
like Judo Arshita (Gundam ZZ). His voice is given by Ishino Ryuuzou, who
also voicing for Chang Wufei (Shin Kidou Senki Gundam W).

- Miina Likering

One of the eight shuujinkous. Miina is a mystery mania, by some of her
detective-like words. Her voice is given by seiyuu Hidaka Noriko, who also
voicing for Takaya Noriko (Top ho Nerae~Gunbuster), Tendou Akane (Ranma 1/2),
and Musica (Southern Cross).

4. Cool And Nihilistic.

- Arwinn Dorstien

One of the eight shuujinkous. Just call him Winn. He is very cool guy,
indeed. He somehow has a distrust to females, but not too deep. His new
look has much better, although may not as good as his old look. Seiyuu Seki
Toshihiko has given his voice for Winn. For short info, Toshihiko also
voicing for Duo Maxwell (Shin Kidou Senki Gundam W), Shuura Ou Shulato
(Tenka Senki Shulato) and Kujaku (Kujaku Ou aka Peacock King).

- Lynn Mao

One of the eight shuujinkous. Lynn is much cute, even with her new hairdo.
Like Winn, she is also quite has a distrust for males (Not to deep,
hopefully). Her cool voice is given by seiyuu Ogata Megumi, who also voicing
for Ikari Shinji (Shin Seiki Evangelion), Kurama (Yuuyuu Hakushou) and Melvina
MacGarlen (Meltylancer).

5. Chararcter Matchings And Portraits

also called Ryu by team leader Aya Kobayashi. He is a very hot blooded guy,
who likes super robots and fighting games. His fondness of super robots some
times made him cry out weapon names in battle. He often quarrels a lot with
Rai and developed a relationship with Aya. If you remember a fighting game
called Virtual Fighter (which also a TV anime series), try to look at the VF
shuujinkou Yuki Akira.
If you listen carefully to Ryusei's quotes like "Jyuunen hayain dayo!" and
"Ora ora oraaa!", those qoutes are exact quotes Akira often says. Why? 'Cause
both Yuki Akira and Ryusei Date are voiced by the same seiyuu, whose name is
Miki Shinichirou. And Ryusei has special names for R-1's T-Link Knuckle
(Ryusei Original Knuckle Punch) and SRX' Tenjou Tenga Muteki Ken (Tenjou Tenga
Muteki Giri).

5. R-Gun

Beside the three, there's one PT which also made by Banpresto called R-Gun.
The appearance of the R-Gun was in Super Hero Sakusen and here's the story
of it.

R-Gun (Personal Trooper Type-Gun, Argan in the manual) is a PT made in the
future and its weapons are :
- Vulcans
- Beam Katar Sword
- Magna Twin Rifle
- Slash Boomerang

In the game, where Ultraman dies in a battle with Zetton, the R-Gun suddenly
turn into a cannon and blast Zetton into pieces. In this form, R-Gun are known
as HTB Cannon, stands for Hyper Tronium Buster Cannon. Later, in Ultraseven's
final battle, SRX appears along with the R-Gun Powerd (upgraded with plus parts
from Aya) to finish the monster by using the HTB Cannon. Ryusei claims the new
attack as Tenjou Tenga Mendou Bakusai Hou.

Anyway, the weaponry of R-Gun Powered are :
- Vulcans
- Magna Twin Rifle
- Hi-Twin Launcher
- Slash Boomerang
- Hyper Tronium Buster Cannon

The pilot of R-Gun is either Ingram Blisken or Violetta Blisken, which you'll
choose as the shuujinkou in Super Hero Sakusen. Anyway, they both have same
quotes on R-Gun's Magna Twin Rifle, which is "Double Fire!!"

Looks like this time the SRX Team's popularity has boosted up. They have stared
in Super Hero Sakusen, Real Robot Battle Line and the upcoming Super Robot Taisen
Alpha. I hope that someday Banpresto may have plans for making an exclusive game
for SRX, just like they did to the Masou Kishin series. Or made a special anime
series for the SRX Team.

IV. Closing Lines

1. SRW News Flash!

From the Super Robot War Continuum, I've found some info to talk about.
Phil Yee has a link to a gaming info website named The Magic Box that
Banpresto has released Super Robot Taisen 64 for the N64 console. I've
checked it out by looking at the screenshots and they're so great, as
there are some series that never appeared in previous SRW games, which is
Rokushin Gattai God Mars and Giant Robo. Looks like N64 owners will like to
check it out. You also may check the Banpresto website, if you're need some
authentical screenshots of the game and from another title called Super Robot
Taisen Link Battler. For the casts, here it is.

- Kidou Senshi Gundam
- Kidou Senshi Z Gundam
- Kidou Senshi Gundam ZZ
- Kidou Senshi Gundam 0083 -Stardust Memories-
- Kidou Senshi Gundam -Gyakushuu No Char-
- Kidou Butouden G Gundam
- Shin Kidou Senki Gundam W
- Kidou Senshi Gundam -Dai 08 MS Shoutai-
- Sei Senshi Dunbine
- Aoki Ryuusei SPT Layzner
- Muteki Kyoujin Daitarn 3
- Mazinga Z
- Great Mazinga
- Getta Robo
- Getta Robo G
- Shin Getta Robo
- UFO Robo Grandizer
- Choudenji Robo Combattler V
- Choujyuu Kishin Dancouga
- Rokushin Gattai God Mars
- Giant Robo

The game story itself is about defending the Earth from an empire, known as
Muge Zolbados empire (the first opposing side in Choujyuu Kishin Dancouga).

[Shin Masou Kishin -Panzer Warfare- news]
Also form the SRW Continuum, there's rumors about re-released PS version of
one classic SRW title, which is Super Robot Taisen Gaiden : Masou Kishin.
The rumor itself comes from the Super Robot War Fanclub Web Board, along
with the report from the Banpresto website on their SRW events.
I surf into Banpresto myself for proof and they have one title similar to
the Masou Kishin game with today's flavor. Anyway the title is Shin Masou
Kishin -Panzer Warfare-, the translated meaning will be True Lord Of Elemen
tal -Panzer Warfare-. They have some screenshots of it and they are superb,
with 3D mecha designs and 2D character illustrations. It also has opening
anime movie, if you're interested.
I think for Masou Kishin fans (including myself), Shin Masou Kishin -Panzer
Warfare- is definitely a must buy title for this year. Shin Masou Kishin was
planned to be released on November 1999.

I just got something new after looking at the Banpresto page, that Shin Masou
Kishin's official release date is on November 25th 1999. Extend your prana and
enter the world of masou kishin.

For those who like to know a bit of the story inside Shin Masou Kishin, I'll
like to tell you a bit about this title.

The setting of Shin Masou Kishin takes place on the magical land of A Zels,
a similar land to La Giars and here's the shuujinkou and heroine of Shin
Masou Kishin -Panzer Warfare-

1. Keigo Keltz Ferdinand

18 year old shuujinkou of Shin Masou Kishin. He has dreamed of riding masouki
since childhood and at age 16 he entered the Palzhom kimgdom's Masouki Heishi
Dan. 2 years later, he got promoted and rides the wind masou kishin Cybaster.

2. Alma Keltz Karina

21 year old heroine of Shin Masou Kishin. She is one of the best knights in
Palzhom kingdom's Masouki Heishi Dan. Like Keigo, she rides her owm masou
kishin, which is the water masou kishin Goddess.

That's all I can do regarding the Shin Masou Kishin title. When I personally
can get my hands on it, I definitely take as my first priority (Remember that
Masou Kishin is my very favorite??) and hopefully, a full guide on Shin Masou
Kishin -Panzer Warfare-, if I had time to do so.
