Calico McCready is a fictional character in the Super Robot Wars series. He has appeared as an enemy character in Super Robot Wars Alpha 3 only.
The captain of the elite, Balmarian Golar Golem squad, Calico McCready is always seen wearing a mask, as if there is something that he needs to hide from his enemies. Indeed, when his mask is destroyed, the Alpha Numbers discover he is the third clone of Euzeth Gozzo, and the direct clone of the Originator, Ingram Plissken, the first clone of Euzeth, bearing his physical appearance. Calico possesses an extreme dislike for his other name, Gimel Balshem, mainly because it identifies him as just another by-product of Euzeth's cloning. However, what lies behind Calico's looks is his ambition to become the new Originator, thereby ridding his status as just another clone of Euzeth's Balshem series.
When Hazal Gozzo led the second invasion of Earth, Shiva Gozzo, who Calico directly reports to, orders him and Spectra McCready to follow his son and report any unseen circumstances that might follow. Much to Calico's dismay, when he discovered that Cobray Gordon was chosen by Ingram to become his vessel, he becomes bitter and extremely hostile towards the pilot, seeking only to destroy him and his mysterious Werkbau. However, Calico's continuous rivalry with Cobray would lead to the birth of Cobray's new Dis Astranagant machine, making it even more difficult for Calico to defeat him. Calico would meet his end on Balmar, defending Shiva in the imperial palace, when the Alpha Numbers arrived on the planet.
Trivia[]
- Unlike many Balmarians, whose names are of Hebrew origins, Calico's name is possibly derived from the Calico Light Weapons Systems, a firearms manufacturing company in the United States.
