Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The year is 2087, and mankind has started expanding into outer space, founding colonies on the Moon and advancing dramatically in technology and generally improving the living conditions for everyone. However, a dark shadow is cast over this future, as the Moon colonies, under the leadership of Marshall Iskandar Guiltorre, declare themselves independent under the collective name of Giganos Empire.After years of excalating tensions, brought on by the ever-growing discrimination against Earthlings on the Moon colonies, and by the construction of Giganos' Mass Driver, war finally breaks out, with Giganos Empire in an overwhelming advantage thanks to its technological superiority and the use of anthropomorphic Humongous Mecha called Metal Armors. A few months in the conflict, already 70% of Earth is under Giganos' dictatorship, and the Earth Federation is getting desperate...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Fortunately for the Federation, three new-model Metal Armors codenamed Dragonar are captured by an Allied fleet during transportation. Unfortunately, the Giganos forces immediately start pursuit, with the order of taking them back at all costs... and in the whole mess, the Dragonar end up being boarded and piloted by three teenagers from the neutral colony of Arcadia, which Giganos attacked to take back their prototypes.Of course, much mayhem ensues, and Kain, Tapp and Light find themselves forcibly enlisted into Federation army because their mechs' AIs will only allow them to pilot it, fighting an almost hopeless war against extremely bleak odds as they try to keep Giganos Empire from reclaiming the Dragonar.If that sounded similar to Mobile Suit Gundam to you, you're quite right - this 1987-1988 series is, in fact, very similar to Yoshiyuki Tomino 's masterpiece and shares much of its creative team with Gundam works of its time. Fukuda Mitsuo of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED fame also worked on several episodes although using a different Kanji writing of his name. However, Metal Armor Dragonar is much Lighter and Softer than the series it parallels, not only keeping death to a minimum, but also engaging in refreshing comedic episodes which manage not to detract anything from the action and the development. People who liked Gundam's bleak setting might be somewhat put off by this, but Metal Armor Dragonar presents itself as a worthy alternative.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })Has a character sheet now. | |

Real Robot Genre: Metal Armors rely mostly on kinetic weapons, have most of their operations handled by AI, and aren't too outlandish in what they can do. The Gilga-Zamune does straddle the line(it looks like a samurai, for one thing), however. | |

Mood Whiplash: The two episodes with Punch-Clock Villain Lt. Chekov. Also the end of episode 13. Probably the biggest one is Episode 28. Up till then, the Dragonar team had met challenges they couldn't beat, but time, luck, or skill has gotten them out. This time? They're up against the Stark Squad, who utterly DECIMATE them. With their commander knocked out, and both Rose and Linda in the hands of Jin (who is rather clear with his intentions, the episode ends with the machines totaled, in a ditch, while the town around them is being burned down. Dark. There's a reason the Stark Squad are noted for their difficulty in Super Robot Wars. | |

Alas, Poor Villain | |
| Metal Armor Dragonar / int_ac09dc0f | comment |
Alas, Poor Villain: Gor, the Dumb Muscle and comic relief of the Stark Squad, gets a surprisingly heroic and Tear Jerker death when his time comes. Gon Jem himself will probably evoke sympathy for the viewer at the moment of his death, considering how sincerely he mourned his fallen underlings. | |

Jack of All Stats | |
| Metal Armor Dragonar / int_ac9f78d9 | comment |
D-1, Kaine's Dragonar, is a Jack-of-All-Stats, a cross between Fighter and Thief. It has the best speed among all three, is the only one with a dedicated melee weapon, but has less firepower and range detection. It can be outfitted with a Mecha Expansion Pack to provide it with more guns at the cost of looking ridiculous and reducing speed, though that got trashed early on. | |

Empathic Weapon: The reason the boys have to join the army and pilot the Dragonars is that after they piloted it for the first time, the onboard AIs only responded to them. | |

An Adventurer Is You | |
| Metal Armor Dragonar / int_bcc2f921 | comment |
An Adventurer Is You: The three Dragonars fulfill different roles, to the point of Fighter, Mage, Thief. D-1, Kaine's Dragonar, is a Jack-of-All-Stats, a cross between Fighter and Thief. It has the best speed among all three, is the only one with a dedicated melee weapon, but has less firepower and range detection. It can be outfitted with a Mecha Expansion Pack to provide it with more guns at the cost of looking ridiculous and reducing speed, though that got trashed early on. D-2, Tapp's Dragonar, is a Mighty Glacier, a cross between Fighter and Mage, being slow but with the heaviest firepower and defense. D-3, Light's Dragonar, is a Squishy Wizard, a cross between Mage and Thief, having very few weapons but having the best navigational systems, range detection and hacking devices. | |

Power Trio: obviously, Kain (Id), Tapp (Ego) and Light (Super-Ego). Token Trio: Even their mech's paintjobs match their ethnicities. Kain's is red and white like the Japanese flag with prominent yellow bits, Tapp's is black and Light's is white. | |

Expy | |
| Metal Armor Dragonar / int_e5421161 | comment |
Expy: Ace Pilot Meio Plato is obviously based on Char Aznable, to the point of having a pretty similar Red Baron nickname. However, personality- and visual-wise, he actually resembles Anavel Gato the most. Technically, Dragonar predates 0083, so Gato's the Expy. Linda is a much less frosty Sayla Mass, down right to her being the enemy ace's sister. The Dragonars themselves. D-1 is an obvious reference to the original RX-78, with beam sabers, a laser bazooka and a shield. D-2 is for the Guncannon with its shoulder-mounted turret cannons, while D3 is a more humanoid version of the Guntank. | |

Redemption Equals Death: Just as he's beginning to realize that his cause might not be so righteous after all, Marshall Guiltorre is shot dead by Dorchenov. Also, in the last episode, Meio invokes this trope and decides to remain in the crumbling Phobetore fortress as atonement for his deeds, but his father talks him out of it. | |
