The Giganspada (ジガンスパーダ) is a variant of the Giganscudo, it appears as an enemy unit in Super Robot Wars Original Generations and Super Robot Wars Original Generation Gaiden. The name Giganspada is of Italian origin, meaning "great sword".
Appearance[]
Unlike most mobile units, the Giganspada does not take a humanoid shape, but rather that of a large jet fighter. Its main fuselage resembles the Giganscudo's upper chassis, and is mounted with four oversized beam cannons in place of arms. The Giganspada is given a dark blue color scheme, splashed with gold on its wing binders, gray on the cannons and black on the cannons' tips. A mass-produced Giganspada opts for a gray color scheme, instead of the dark blue of the original. Like the Giganscudo, the Giganspada is also an immense unit, weighing in at 270.6 tons and fixed at 132.2 meters tall
Technical And Historical[]
When the rogue Shadow Mirror faction arrives in the Original Generation universe, they brought along with them various plans for the development of multiple mobile units, one of which is the design of the Giganspada. The Giganspada's design is same as the Giganscudo before modification, as seen in a cutscene from Original Generations. This is due in part to the Shadow-Mirror's parallel universe, since the Hiryu and the Giganscudo never encounters the Aerogaters during its initial space exploration. The original Giganspada enters into production for both the Shadow-Mirror and the Neo Divine Crusaders officers to use; a mass-production type Giganspada is also created, allowing low-ranking soldiers to pilot. Archibald Grimms utilizes the original Giganspada during the final battle at the Earth Cradle.
