I picked up the special package; so at least money well spent (the one with the OST).
Say, the "Mysterious Boy" turned out to be a girl named Elh.. but I knew the giveaway right from the get-go, I've seen this gag before. Though, Lewis (Let's just call that "thing" that) seems to be a cross between Zerkom and Eva-01 from my prespective. I've also done the sub-plot in which Red works for a transvestite.
Another thing, being the last of your clan always sucks. Ask Vegeta. A LOT of puns though, "Star Dogs" for one.
For the character Red himself I'd say he's a reverse-werewolf. He's an anthromorphic dog in certain cases goes into this superhuman form, and merges with the mecha. He's also your typical freelancer.. but he can p. much be Captain Obvious at times. The backup characters do give more of a MMZ/MML feel more or so how you got the cool guy, the babe, and the guy always ready for a fight, along with Elh's bro, who fills Phantom's role (but doesn't die.. yet, I'm waiting; game).
Bruno was more or so a "COME AT ME BRO!" villan. Seriously, he has quite a hand thing going on there.. dunno what it is, but he looks like he's ready to claw someone's face off most of the time.. but can't shake the feeling Lewis was meant to mirror Bruno. Eh. Air Robo GP's a good way to build rings quick, and the best one's for me the purple mech. Anyway, game's a-okay for now. Thoughts for round 2 will come later~
