Mecha Talk

Alright ladies and gentlemen, I was talking with Chris the other day and he said the proposed Nadesico section has stalled out for too long. So let's kick this sucker up and get things ready to go!

I'll start off by doing a mecha listing for the Nadesico works. I can't write the profiles myself since Nadesico isn't a show I'm super-familiar with, but I'll provide what info I can where I can. So without further delay...

Finally, this should made TV series ready for launch .

Dragonganger

I also add Work Robo in Nergal's post and Kannazuki's line art in Jovian post before.

I don't include Spaceganger, Speedganger and Powergunger here. IIRC, they only appear in Gekiganger 3 OVA, not in Nadesico TV series (correct me if I'm wrong).

Peaceland's vessel and Gekiganger's villains are not include because I can't find any line art for them. Peaceland has only small role anyway, and it's kind of pointless to post "fictional" profile without data.
