With Dylan ready to make their personal pick, our show moves into uncharted territory: 1980s dungeon crawler RPGs! It's Squaresoft (now Square Enix)'s first RPG, it's a Mika Akitaka design, it's Cruise. Chaser. Blassy~! Come enjoy a design that's far more fleshed out than it needs to be given the hardware it's for- and a number of reinterpretations besides.

If Dylan wants another week to think, Dylan gets another week to think. We will instead see what the dice have in store... and oh, it's a dead end! Well, that's fine. The Wuxia is cool, and we have other things to talk about besides. You can find a video version of this podcast for free on Scanline Media’s Patreon!

We have to spoil ourselves every now and then around here. Sure, one can argue that Avatar Skeith is a mecha. There's a way to make that case. But that's not why we're suddenly talking about .hack on this show. It's just because I want to, and my friend Dylan is kind enough to humor me.

The armor? Great. Love the armor. The fingers, oh. Those are fantastic. And great colors all around. But, uh, what are you swingin there, bud? Are you swinging... a weapon that's been broken for a few hundred years? That wouldn't be that hard to fix, at least by giant robot standards. Hmm. Hmm. I see. Well. We all make choices.

Entrust your fate to the big, mechanical hands of the cards. Listener CrossZeta made a very efficient request, because we'll probably be rolling Cardfight Vanguard designs for years without rolling out (given that they're only a percentage of the requests anyway). Then again, maybe not- it's fun to tackle one-offs, but we're trying to tackle lines of robo, and there may not be that many lines within the game. Time will tell!

It's been a while since we've had an episode about a single machine with no variants or upgrades. And one so deserving of them, too! I get that the appeal of the Bael is elegant simplicity. But the Bael exists! Let's have a Bael High Mobility, or a Bael Cannon, or a Bael Full Armor! I know that's not how IBO designs are built or named. I don't care. I just like seeing cool designs be iterated on, and I am being deprived of that. This is bullying, they're bullying me.

It's not our first tokusatsu mecha, but it might be our most charming. King Joe (great name, by the way) is coming at us straight from Ultraman, a combining robot that proved an instant hit. I love the way having to have a real dude in a suit affects the design of toku robots. Personality is an inevitable consequence.

Maybe the red I see is not the same as the red you see. And maybe I first encountered the G-Arcane in Gundam Versus for the PS4 and haven't thought about its color scheme since then. Dylan's right about some things, wrong about some other things, but it's always a good idea to reexamine your assumptions. You never know when you might decide something you've thought for almost a decade is wrong. You can find a video version of this podcast for free on Scanline Media’s Patreon!

Sometimes you do it for the boys. Sometimes you do it for the 'Gram. And sometimes? You do it For the Barrel. Today we discuss the designs of a Gundam AU that, I don't wanna tell tales outta school, but might possibly have been so badly written that its mechanical designer walked away in the middle of the project. It's a shame, because that designer was clearly one of the few parts of this project actually killing it. I think I forgot to say it on air- maybe I didn't? It feels kinda familiar? But this is a double request, from listeners muffinlord and Gaiseric! A big thank you to the Patreon creator Byston Well Stories, who can also be found on Bluesky, for your hard work translating For the Barrel and uploading scans of it, we really appreciate it! You should also check out their current work translating Tomino's Byston Well... stories. I guess it's all there in the name already.

Alright, alright, get your jokes out of the way. This manta ray lookin' dude is one of SEED's design successes, so I won't have you teasing them too hard. Expect the usual SEED issues- line art errors, slightly nonsensical weapon details, an element here or there that would improve the whole design if it were simply removed- but the GOOhN's alright with us.
