Possibly... mind you, I've only seen a little bit of the original Iczer, and none of the followups.
I also don't see Doug as a giant robot kind of guy. In fact, in the tiny little bit of a hint of a Sakura Wars Step I have written, Doug looks at a koubu and basically says, "It's very ingenious, very nice, but you'll never get me in one of those things." It's kind of anathema to his nature -- it's like putting Spiderman in a suit of full field plate.
As for Shea/Friday etc., I'll think about it. I'm still struggling with Ch 13 of DW2, though...
