Super Robot Wars OGs 2 Official Site Update

May 25th, 2011 4 comments

The official site of Super Robot Wars Original Generations 2 has been updated, the basic layout is now up. The character and mechanic sections are the only ones with content at the moment though and there’s still no PV available at this stage though.

Also here is a translation of the story section, twice quoted from Gamefaqs:

The age known as the Space Era.
Some time has passed since the end of the fights against aliens and visitors from parallel worlds…

Aidoneus Island, in the Marquesas Archipelago in the South Pacific, the landing point of “Meteor 3,” the meteor that the alien Aerogators sent long ago, as well as the primary headquarters of the military association known as the “Divine Crusaders (DC),” who threw the Earth Sphere into chaos…
The oceanic area around it has been blocked off, and for a time, it has vanished from the stage of history.

But behind that stage’s curtain, a certain plan has been steadily proceeding.

That plan is to have a special task force which uses ISA tactics (Blitzkrieg operations using mobile battleships that fill the role of an aircraft carrier, and the humanoid mobile weapons placed on board such battleships) and acts according to the will of the President of the Earth Federation Government…
It is established under the codename, “GS.”

“GS” is a military organization independent of the Earth Federation Army, and its primary mission is to carry out special presidential orders concerning military problems.
In addition, refortification of Aidoneus Island has been proceeding under the direction of the president’s two aides, and on that island, a variety of project deliverables, many new weapons, have been being gathered.
However, the true nature of “GS” is being kept secret, and on the surface, it has been designated as an experimental squadron for new weapons.

Will “GS” be a new sword to protect the Earth Sphere?
The story begins with a lone young boy fleeing from Aidoneus Island…

RAcaseal Eleanor Ver.APSY

May 23rd, 2011 No comments

As a long time PSO fan and player, I ordered this RAcaseal figurine the second I laid eyes on it. Well turns out, it’s actually not a figure. It’s a model kit!

At 1/12 scale though, I can’t imagine it could be bigger than a 1/144 High Grade. I almost feel as though this would be better of as a Figma type figurine instead.

The kit includes 2 sabers, a shotgun and seperate hands for each weapon.

Gallery after the jump.
