Super Robot Wars is basically what happens when you get a bunch of mecha fanboys together with coyright deals from basically everyone and turn them loose.
Mainstays of non-Original Generation titles include Mazinger Z, Mazenkaiser, Great Mazinger, Combattler V, Zambot 3 and Daitarn 3 and more.. Sometimes you get appearances from such Utterly Broken mecha shows as Hades Project Zeorymer and Space Runaway Ideon (thankfully, so far, not both at ONCE).
Original Genreation titles use only Banpresto-designed mecha and characters.. though often you get a sly little nod to classic designs, such as the Huckebein's shocking resemblance to a Gundam.. other than the fact that it totes around a gravity weapon larger than it is, depending on the model iteration.
