This week’s update is Pacific Rim which will give you more units to use with the new “Defend The City / Rampage” game type. If you’ve never seen Pacific Rim it’s a very fun and well directed movie by Guillermo del Toro starring giant robots called “Jaegers” and their two synchronized pilots who defend Earth from giant monsters called Kaiju that come through a breach between worlds under the Pacific Ocean. If you’re a fan of Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla then this movie should be right up your alley. Here’s an example scene from the movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLptjP1RKmQ

Cross universe compatibility would let you mix Gundam and Evangelion for instance, or Gurenn Lagann and Getter Robo like you would in a Super Robot Wars style game.

In the past we allowed Gigas units to fire as many weapons as they wanted to, as long as they had a big enough reactor to power each weapon. This lended itself well to any Mecha series where they will be loaded with guns, missiles, lasers, beams etc. We initially came up with this rule since we wanted units like Big Zam, a mobile fortress, to be able to fire off multiple weapons at once, same for other Mobile Armors like the Dendrobium Orchis or the Neue Ziel.
