![]() A Father to His Men: He even cooks for them.Exclusively in The Inspectors, the Animated Adaptation of Original Generation 2, Ratsel uses the "GuarBein" MK III (basically a Huckebein MK III outfitted with parts from his old Guarlion Custom) before receiving the Aussenseiter.Although specially designed by Bian for him to use, the Aussenseiter qualifies more as a Super Prototype. A Huckebein MK II, Huckebein MK III and a Guarlion Custom, all of them following his black/red/gold coloring motif.And that's not even getting to his Combination Attack with his best friend, which is usually the second most powerful attack in the games he appears in. Even without upgrading his units, by skill and stats alone he dodges like crazy, has high accuracy and critical ratings, can move farther, shoot further, and hit harder than most other pilots. To date, Elzam is still one of the best pilots in the world. Ace Pilot: A former member of the "Aggressors" (including him, Sanger, Kai Kitamura and Gilliam Yeager), a group that had the first use of a Humongous Mecha In-Universe.His definitive mecha is the Dynamic General Guardian "Aussenseiter" ( German for "outsider", or less literally, " dark horse"). Still, his first on-screen appearance is in Original Generation, thus he's placed in this category.Įlzam pilots a variety of machines, such as a Guarlion and Huckebein MK III, all painted with black/red/gold colors and called "Trombe", after his black stallion. His debut in Original Generation was popular enough to warrant him a place in the Super Robot Wars Alpha series, as his Ratsel persona (which is also the persona's debut), though he did exist in the background of Alpha and the earlier, yet obscure Super Robot Spirits. ![]() To prove " Real Men Ride Each Other", Ratsel's new Mid-Season Upgrade received when liberating the Tesla-Leicht Institute can turn into a horse and have Sanger's own Mid-Season Upgrade mount it (no, REALLY ). Once again, he and the Kurogane crew operate and support the Earth Federation Army in secret. Following the end of the "L5 Campaign", the Earth Federation Army's offensive at defeating the Aerogaters, he and his crew of the battleship Kurogane vanishes.Įlzam reappears in the sequel, now sporting a pair of glasses, calling himself "Ratsel Feinschmecker" (erroneously translated by Inspector Vigagi as "Mysterious Gourmet"). Although Elzam's one of the headlining generals of the " Divine Crusaders", with the death of Bian Zoldark, he secretly aids the Earth Federation Army to fight against the invading "" Aerogaters". ![]() Banpresto took it as a Running Gag and incorporated this "bug" into subsequent games. Elzam debuts in Original Generation, but it's filled with a Good Bad Bug: due to programming errors, priority for his Leitmotif was given the highest, thus it always overrides any song, even the Final Boss. He hails from the esteemed Branstein family, Happily Married and a Supreme Chef. The lifetime partner of Sanger Zonvolt, Elzam von Branstein is the Aloof Big Brother of Raidiese F. Seen It All: Extraterrestrials, Alternate Universes, ancient Humongous Mecha, double-crossings, former enemies-turned-allies, Artificial Humans, Eldritch Abominations, etc.The group has been through a lot, so it comes as no surprise almost all of them show this trope from time-to-time, particularly members who have been around since the first game.Justified as he was found in the middle of a wreckage in the Pacific Ocean. They have him thoroughly analyzed as to whether he is Brainwashed or a spy, but nothing comes of it.

Born to Fight " and "Rail to the Dangerzone" were the available defaults. Leitmotif: Until Original Generations, certain characters didn't have designated theme songs.The Dreaded: According to Selena Recital, she'd prefer not to engage the group in " La Gias" during the events of Dark Prison, given their extensive campaign success and combat record. ![]() Only Jerkass officals of the Earth Federation try to enforce more discipline on them. Bunny-Ears Lawyer: All members have their special quirks, which most of the time are ignored or go largely unnoticed, but as a fighting force they are the best of the best.They have been involved in (and won) pretty much every major conflict involving Earth and nearby planets/dimensions over the past few years, and some of their numbers have been around long before even that.
