Things Andy Can't Do In SRW by ~Andywaltfeld:iconAndywaltfeld:



Things Andy is Not Allowed To Do in Super Robot Wars
Super Robot Wars (Taisen) © Bandai Namco and Atlus. Featured series TM and © Sotsu Agency, Sunrise, Toei Animation, Studio GAINAX, Tatsunoko, and a crapload of other companies in Japan, the United States, and elsewhere.
This list copyleft 2009 Mike “HTTP’s Andy Waltfeld” Conroy.
ORIGINAL GENERATION DO NOT STEAL


1.Just because Baron Ashura is only half woman doesn’t mean s/he’s all tsundere.
2.Despite the inherent awesomeness of a Getter-powered Voltes V, Ichimonji Gou and Kenichi Gou are not interchangeable.
3.Saying “SIEG, MEIN KAISER” within earshot of Kouji Kabuto is bad form.
4.Saying anything even remotely fascist within earshot of anybody remotely connected to Zeon, for that matter, will probably turn me into my own faction really fast.
5.There is no Gundam Triple X. Quit asking before D.O.M.E. microwaves you from orbit.
6.I cannot clone Banjo Haran to make cheap shots at the Deliverance soundtrack.
7.There is nothing to see on a Fairlion worth landing on the ground while on an adjacent space to one in the air.
8.No trying to dye, braid, or trim Valsione’s hair.
8a.Or Ialdabaoth’s.
9.Shu Shirakawa’s doctorate is not in “Magnificent Bastardry,” no matter what anyone on TV Tropes says.
10.I will not force the Combattler V team to sign an endorsement deal with yo-yo maker Duncan.
11.Just because half the Getter Robo fandom already calls Musashi “Kenny” doesn’t mean I can wrap Getter 3 in a giant orange snowsuit.
12.I will not divert the ship’s power to the giant “WELCOME HOME” signs every time Gunbuster docks for routine maintenance.
13.No Rickrolling Basara, Ratsel, or Baran Doban.
13a. Rickrolling Minmay is fair game, just not during the big final battle with Boldoza.
14.Regardless of the source material dripping with symbolism, I will not connect an Evangelion’s umbilical cable to a giant placenta.
15.On pain of an ICBM to the face, Jiron Amos’s new Walker Machine can no longer be called “Walker, Texas Gallier.”
16.There are no Blossom or Bubbles Formations for Aestivalises (Aestivali?) to assume. Except maybe in SRWJ.
17.I will not self-destruct Ideon as an in-universe justification for reloading the save.
18.No refitting Aphrodite/Diana/Venus A with chemical-squirting Breast Missiles.
19.No entering the Dancougar team in a Zoids battle.
19a.Or Galeon and the Genesic Gao Machines.
19b.Or the GoLion lions.
20.Jung Freud is not a qualified psychologist.
21.Despite her ninja heritage, Megumi Oka does not necessarily look good in orange.
22.No discussing the cheap derivative porn title possibilities that “Gear Fighter Dendoh” presents.
23.Borjarnons are not fair game for “This is no Zaku, boy! No Zaku!” references.
24.Despite being a fellow Tomino creation, Raideen’s God Bird mode cannot be powered by the souls of dead Newtypes.
25.Hanging a carrot over the GP03D Dendrobium’s rearview camera does not count as casting Accel.
26.Lacus Clyne has enough Haros already; quit wasting the Eternal’s item slots giving her more.
27.Just because I saw it in a Mai-Otome hentai doujin doesn’t mean my cunning plan to defuse the Turn-X’s Moonlight Butterfly nanomachines will actually work.
28.Time For L-Gaim does not necessarily overlap with Miller Time.
28a. Or Goofy Time (No, Daddy, No!).
29.If something needs to self-destruct and Musashi isn’t around, I will not make Allenby re-enact the Buster Machine 3 detonation sequence using Nobel Gundam and her Mobile Trace Suit.
30.Tekkamen are named after bladed weapons rather than guns for a reason.
31.No taking Bry-Thunder out for drag races against Relena’s limo. Or anything else built on a car chassis, for that matter.
32.Getter 2 cannot pull off a Giga Drill Breaker, even if I bribe Hayato to do Simon’s speech from Episode 9.
33.Cybuster does not have TOO MUCH HIGH FAMILIAR, MAN! Nor does any other Masoukishin.
34.Cans of Kusuha’s Genki Drink should be disposed of under the proper HAZMAT procedures, not within Valkyries' missile spam animations.
35.No meal aboard ship will feature more than one of these at once: hamburgers, steak, pineapple salad.
36.The Cosmo Rangers J9 are no substitute for an actual Sentai team.
37.No using the fairies from other Tomino shows to turn Xabungle into a real boy.
38.V2 Assault and/or Buster Gundam cannot CAST OFF.
38a. Nor can Wildwurger.
38b. And when Virtue or Seravee does it, it's a pain in the ass to PUT ON.
39.The GoLion is not the apex of Divine Crusaders mecha evolution.
40.Grendizer’s position will not be given to any UFO-hunting agency.
40a.Especially not X-COM, even given Duke Fleed's price in Heavy Plasmas.
41.Funnels are not for making cake out of fried dough.
42.I will not quote Lina Inverse when firing anything whose name ends in “Slave.”
43.Regardless of any similarity to Mazinger Z, Shining Gundam does not have the power to become God or Devil.
44.Anavel Gato does not award 15 Silver Points upon being defeated.
45.No repainting all the mechs in Char Custom colors for 3x extra speed.
46.Daitarn 3 can unleash the power of the Sun without any help from Sunny Delight.
47.Likewise, Zambot 3 does not need its ass saved by Tuxedo Mask every time it punishes things in the name of the Moon.
48. There is no dichotomy between "Showa" and "Heisei" Gespensts; quit starting flame wars over each particular model's (in)ability to Gespenst Kick.
49. I don't care what you call it in CivRev, defeating the Zentraedi, Meltrandi, Protodevlins, etc. with music is NOT "culturefucking" them. Unless you're Max.
50. Cannot set Nine Ball up on a blind date with Dolores, ADA, or Pharsti.
50a. Or Sharon Apple, though that's mostly 'cause she's a gold digger.

Inspired in large chunks by ~King-Of-An-Heroes's "Things Johnny Can't Do In SRW" list: [link]

In the event that you somehow skipped the copyright data at the top, SRW (c) Bandai Namco, SRT (c) Atlus, and constituents (c) a bunch of Japanese firms that get along much better than their American counterparts.

EDIT 10/25: Mass re-numbering and 8 new entries to keep the compilers at /m/ guessing.
