As some of you might have noticed that there isn't much details in story for srw2. This is because it doesn't have much of a story. You are literally treated to a bunch of levels where you simply fight random enemies. Looking back at it, srw2 wasn't that great of a game lol. But just the idea of seeing all the mechs we used to watch and love fighting along side each other is good enough for me to play it.
srw3 is released for snes and with its superior performance over nes and gb, the graphics improved by alot. Altough it barely touches the full potential of snes, its still a very pleasing sight for us players. Unlike srw2, they actually used more story and events from various anime although the main focus is still on the original enemies.
What is worth noting is that srw3 introduces one of the most godly unit in srw history. That being the invinsible Daitarn 3. Ok, that was an exaggeration, but a great addition for us nonetheless. I still remember that damn thing saving my butt countless times back in the days. The fact that the pilot (Haran Banjou) is a pimping badass makes it that much better.
The story takes place 6 months after the events of srw2. With the help of the Zabi family (villains from gundam) DC is able to regain its powers. Seeing the growth in strength of DC, the world deems it neccessary to unite and prepare for any possible threat thus creating the Earth Federation (also from gundam). In a sense Bians wish of uniting the world has come true. What of the super robots who defeated Bian in the DC war? They were assigned to a task forced called Londo Bell (from chars counter attack) and their main duty is to patrol and eliminate any threat(mainly DC) on sight. Yet, the Londo Bell wasn't able to prevent the rapid increase in strength of DC. GP 02 (a gundam equiped with nuke) being stolen is solid prove of the situation.
One day Londo Bell received an order to investigate the reason behind the sudden disappearance of EF (Earth Federation) troops. It turns out that Bian was right about there being a threat from outer space. Aliens which they refer to as Inspectors are responsible for the on going disappearance of troops. Thus the three way battle amongst the EF, DC, and the Inspector has begun. With Londo Bell as their core, the EF managed to take back many vital strategic areas/base. And once again, Cybuster showed up as our ally to aid us in the battle against DC and Inspectors. Of course, the Inspectors wouldn't plan an invasion without any super weapons. They brought with them the 4 generals who all has their own customized mech which possess incredible firepower, making battles more dangerous and chaotic.
As if the situation isn't bad enough, the different in ideal between the Zabi family members and the involvment of Paptimus Sirocco made things more confusing. Now half of the DC forces has sided with Inspectors while the other half is fighting both EF and Inspectors. Things are not any less confusing for Londo Bell either as Shu and his Granzon appeared as an ally despite many members not satisfied with this addition. But given the situation they are in, they have no choice but to accept Shu into their forces.
Eventually Londo Bell managed to eliminate DC from this war and can now concentrate on the Inspector forces. Through the actions of Haran Banjou (pilot of Daitarn 3), Mekiboss (one of the 4 general) believes that it is possible for the 2 race to co-exist and leaves the battle field. Unfortunately, the other 3 generals don't feel the same and were all KIA. With the generals gone, Londo Bell can now confront Windlo, the leader of the Inspector. During the battle, Windlo revealed the reason for their invasion. He claims that humans posses great power but are not mature enough to weild such power, therefore humans must either be eliminated or be controled before they become a threat to the universe. Mekiboss appears and comments on how humans are actually more matured than they first thought and attempts to stop the battle but in return is taken down (very easily I must say) by Windlo (who also happens to be his bro). Although it wasn't easy, but Londo Bell managed to defeat Windlo to end the war, or so they thought.....
Note that the following part is actually a secret in the game. If the player doesn't fulfill certain requirements they wouldn't get to play that stage. And I must say this secret boss is TOUGH.
Shu laughs coldly as the battle with the Inspector ended. He fused his Granzon with magical powers from Volkruss to form the Neo Granzon (sounds like something from yugioh lol). On top of him upgrading his Granzon, he also summoned (no clue how he did it) several Valsions to aid him in the battle. Despite the overwhelming power displayed by Shu, Londo Bell emerges victorious without any casualty (thats storyline wise, he took down enough units when I played).
The end of SRW3
I orginally planned to include SRW EX in this post, but that will make this post relatively lengthy. No choice but to split them up. And I actually thought I can deal with this timeline with 2 posts. At this rate it will probably take up to 4 posts.
