GN Version 5.0

Time for the monthly Super Robot Wars T stream! The dev team and other special guests gathered around to share insight into how things came together, new gameplay details, and more. Check out the wrap-up below.

- Hidetaka Tenjin designed Tyranado to look like a black, dark blue suit, with the part in the middle being a tie
- this reflects how the two SRW T Original protagonists, Saizo and Sagiri, are Japanese white-collar workers or “Salarymen”
- Producer Terada is the one who decided on Tyranado’s color
- when they decided on adding a black Gespenst in SRW T, he ended up regretting it
- this is because now the game has two OG mechas with the exact same color
- Tyranado’s face looks hidden behind a mask, but when it uses its strongest attacks the eyes light up
- the concept behind once again ties into a Salaryman, who usually hide emotions, except when they really mean business
- the Beam Bayonette on Tyranado’s hips is one of the few weapons it carries
- it was designed to look like an attache case
- Tyranado’s Magna Beam Launcher is stored in the “Cariacs”, the ship that accompanies Tyranado in battle
- the Cariacs was designed to look like a T from above
- Tyranado’s weapons are launched from the hatch at the bottom of the ship
- Tenjin wanted to make it feel like the wings support the ship
- he added the void area between the wings and the rest of the ship to give it a futuristic feel
- the void areas are used to accelerate certain particles, which are then used in the thrusters
- this is the system that lets the Cariacs fly
- Tyranado will use that system and/or those particles in its upgraded version
- the VTX Union is the company both protagonists Saizo and Sagiri are part of
- Hirosuke Amasaki is Saizo and Sagiri’s superior, and he's one of the three pilots for the Cariacs with Meryl
- Tenjin provides the voice of Amasaki, and it's the first time one of the dev team has done so
- Tenjin thought voicing Hirosuke was difficult at first because he couldn’t imagine being the boss of such a badass
- Meryl Spanna is voiced by Mai Aizawa, and Meryl is supposed to look and sound mature
- Meryl really loves Sagiri, the female protagonist, but not in a romantic way
- Eimis Arneston is voiced by Naomi Oozora
- all three Magic Knight Rayearth girls can use different types of magic
- Fuu can either restore 3000 HP to all ally units within 2 squares of her position (excluding herself), during one turn, increase by 200 the armor of all ally units within 2 squares of her position (excluding herself), or during one turn, decrease by 10 points all stats of an enemy unit within 5 squares of her position
- Tyranado’s strongest attack has the Cariacs attacking simultaneously
- the special scenario included in first print copies of the game is titled “Plan T1023”
- new voice clips were recorded for both Domon and Master Asia
- the animation team put a lot of effort into all of Shin Getter Dragon’s attack animations
