Texas Mac The cowboy super robot are back, along with its wacky sybiling pilots Jack and Mary King. Has a good range weapon, so its best use for sniping. Texas Mac's origin is from the US. Weapons : - Texas Blade - Texas Rifle - Texas Magnum 444 - Hat Machine Attack 2. Stealper The black sleek robot, which can turn into a stealth fighter. For each mode, there are two pilots assigned for this unit. They are Schwartz (robo mode) and John Lambert (fighter mode). Same origin as Texas Mack.

Robostone A big robot with steam roller wheels as the legs. Piloted by brothers Bob and Sam Bosner. Best use for close range attacks, since it has minimum long range weapons. Weapons : - Heavy Press - San Dan Missile - Double Cannon - Super Heavy Press 5. Kingdom 007 England's black small super robot. Its final attack is summoning three sub marines, launching missiles at its designated target, but its long range weapon can be used only at sea. The assigned pilot for this unit is Linda Telamis.

You can get them to join you on episode 8. III. Warships ------------- In Daikessen! there are warships available and they're able to repair some HP damage. 1. Kujira 20051D The first warship you'll recieve in Daikessen! which is in a form of a blue whale with wings (the name 'kujira' is the Japanese word for whale). Its hangar can hold three units. Weapons : - Salt Gun - Over Boost You'll get the Kujira on episode 5, along with Getta Zan 2. Texas Idoukan The second warship in Daikessen! It was built by the World Federation Troops to repel against the invasion of Hyakki Teikoku (Hundred Demons Empire) and Professor Landou's Metal Beast forces. Its movement is quite slow on the ground, but it can go fast while in the sea. The hangar can hold five units, however. Weapons : - Taichuu Laser - Dover Hou You'll get the Texas on episode 8, along with the Federation super robots. 3. Getta Emperor The third warship in Daikessen! and the last unit which is made with the Getta Energy. Built by Prof. Saotome, as he stated that Getta Robo was built for space cultivation. It has quite fast movement and can go for far range. The important stuff is the hangar can hold five units and its energy can be replenished. Weapons : - Emperor Beam You'll get this on episode 20, as the replacement for the former Kujira. IV. Other units --------------- This section talks about some other units in Daikessen!, besides those rode by the Getta Team and the World Federation. 1. Lady Command Getta Team's very own support craft. The appearance of this cute white craft was in Getta Robo G and the pilot is none other than Saotome Michiru. For note that the Lady Command is the replacement of Michiru's Command Machine, which was destroyed in the Getta Robo anime series. It can replenish energy for some units, but not for those which contains Getta Energy like the Getta Robo generations. Weapons : - Choun Vulcan 2. BT-23 This is the first unit that your chosen pilot (Akira or Kei) will use in the beginning of the Daikessen! game. The appearance of this unit was in the manga and in Change!! Getta Robo OVA as a military unit. It can replenish some HP damage. Weapons : - Drill Attack - Vulcan Misc. Stuff ----------- This section talks about some other things outside the guide, but still related to the Getta Robo Daikessen! Some of them are hints for the game. On episode 9, the units that available are Getta Robo, Getta Robo G, Getta Robo Zan, Getta Robo Gou, Kujira, Texas Mac and Stealper. You probably need more units to help you, right? So, here's the requirements of pilots for this mission. - Ryouma, Hayato and Benkei in Getta G - Akira/Kei, Linda, Musashi in Getta Robo (Put Linda on the Jaguar unit) - Akane, Tsubaki, Kaede in Getta Zan - Gou, Shou, Kai in Getta Gou - Jack, Mary in Texas Mac - Schwartz, Lambert in Stealper - Michiru in Lady Command, for replenishing Kujira's energy. - Shatner in BT-23, for repairing some damage. On episode 14, you need to protect the Saotome Research Insitute from the invasion of the Konchuu Gundan (Mutant Insect Soldiers) only with the Kujira and Black Getta. Choose your pilot carefully, especially those whose has highest rate in hand to hand combat (close range attacks) like Ryouma or Gou who has the ressurection skill. I just got rumors about Black Getta, that it can go berserk if it gets destroyed like Eva 01. If this is true, please watch your back. At the end of that episode, there are three option of countries that you'll headed to repel Landou's troops that spread through out those countries. The options are : 1. Germany (headed by Batt Shogun/General Batt) 2. Rusia (headed by Shitei Maou Gore/King Gore) 3. England (headed by Burai Taitei/Emperor Burai) My recommendations are head to Germany first, then to England. Then Rusia automaticaly will be your last destination, with hopes that your pilots' levels are raised by battles in Germany and England. If you like to transfer some Federation pilots into the old Getta units, here's also my recommendated options. - Shatner for Getta 1, especially if you have the Getta Machinegun - Bob Bosner for Getta 2 - Sam Bosner for Getta 3 - Linda for Black Getta (optional) If you finished the game totally with either Akira or Kei, you'll see the ending anime movie. There are scene of all Getta units, including Black Getta and Shin Dragon, lined in the hangar. The pilots are in front of them, with both Akira and Kei standing together in the corner. This makes me wonder if both complete data of Akira and Kei can be combined. If there's anyone who like to give their opinion on this, please do send them via email. Closing Lines And Credits ------------------------- This section ends this guide with some closing lines and credits that inspires the making of this guide. For my personal opinion, I say that Getta Robo Daikessen! is a good game, indeed. Beside its gameplay and graphics, the difficulty is quite chalenging and of course, the gattai tests which made Getta fans (including myself) felt like they're one of the Getta Team. So ....
