If they found some way in the story to break the no double of the same character rule we could have some pretty sweet combo attacks. Just imagine you are on a stage and all seems lost when Mazinger, Great Mazinger, and Grandizer rocket punch through the dimensional walls and team up with Shin Mazinger and Zeus to just lay waste to a boss. Also if Dancouga doesn't come back next game so we get that sweet brofist move again this series is dead to me.

Alpha Numbers made sense, Round Knights (from R) was cool, Warter was clever. I don't remember what the other games did but it wasn't as weird as ZEUTH or ZEXIS, let alone Z-BLUE.  What does that one even mean?

Magneito-Ten was from MX, and I think the team in Alpha Gaiden was called the Irregulars.

I'm pretty sure the team in UX is just called Universal Cross. I actually wasn't expecting to ever find out what the title of the game stood for, but they apparently just made it the team name.

I miss in Alpha 2 where the characters would all have a conversation about what to call their group. The first time I took Ple's suggestion and called them the purupurupurus, and the second was Asuka and her brave allies.

Plus the Eternal was lame and barely qualified as a ship so much as a bloated support unit that can't run back to your actual battleships to stay out of the way. seriously why would you ever use the Eternal in that game

I'd rather use the Eternal than the Archangel, honestly, at least in J. Having a boatload of support spells is more useful than a lower-tier combat carrier.

The Eternal got a lot better when it got team attacks and innate EN recovery that was basically a super robot.

The Macross Quarter has also been pretty rad in any game I have played with it in it. L included.

Macross 7 was also a god-machine among men in every game it is in. Admittedly it takes a slight hit when Max stops piloting and it loses the ability to dodge like a real robot.

If you keep Zero in the Ikaruga and don't deploy the Shinkiro, it becomes a pretty good artillery platform, but why would you not deploy the Shinkiro?

Mother Vanguard (the Crossbone ship with the beam sails and the radar rigging, which is a fantastic touch) in Alpha 2 was surprisingly solid on offense, too; I got some good use out of that one.

Really they've been pretty good about making battleships capable of defending themselves lately, it is just that the Argama and its knockoffs tend to be pretty meh and guess what ship you have for most of the game in every game.

Really they should just give every battleship hit and away. It is not like their attacks are so strong that it would make them too powerful.

The worst SRW for battleships has to be Z2.1. You have the Ptolemaios, with no weapons for 90% of the game, and you have the Dai-Gurren, which is slow as gently caress and basically exists to facilitate Giga Drill Break Special. The only real bright spot is the Quarter. I guess you also have the Gekko-Go. For like five stages.

Then they made up for it by throwing about 5 or 6 of them at you in Z2.2. Some of them aren't even technically carriers, they're just ridiculously huge, like Shin Dragon.

Speaking of lack of hit and away, playing z2.2 made me HATE Tiera and Lockon. Like, of all the people you don't give Hit and Away, you don't give it to the heavy artillery and Sniper but give it to the extremely mobile Aerial transformer???
