This week’s Famitsu reveals the first 4 stages of SRWL. So far only small scans were found with some info. Update: additional info from a 2ch thread.

1 – The boys guided by the Iron

Koichi goes out to buy bread in place of Shinji, who isn’t doing well at school. However, he’s smashed by a falling mobile weapon. Meanwhile, Ichitaka reaches professor Graife’s house. However, after he sees 2 robots there, professor is kidnapped by a mysterious person. Ichitaka deploys in the Rushbird to save him.

This is the stage presented previously at TGS, featuring Rushbird and Dancouga Nova, against the Kato Organization (which includes Wu-fei). Linebarrels becomes neutral and Painkiller and Hind-kind also make an appearance.

2 – Special Training, Mach Drill!

To gain some help on finding professor Graife, Ichitaka joins the Nation Alliance’s special forces Lotus. And Lotus is now contacting the several Super Robots that exist to gain their support. Meanwhile, during a special training at Build Base, Kenji is attacked by Isama of the Great Empire Jama.

Stage 2′s page is cut, so I can’t make out much, aside from the appearances of Jeeg, Mazinger Z, Aphrodite A and Boss Borot.

3 – Woman who fights, woman who doesn’t fight, woman who can’t fight

The Dannar Base members agree to join Lotus. However, one of the main pilots Go can’t use his unit, and his partner Anna ran away. During her escape, Anna is captured alongside her friend Nagisa by alien invaders called Cthuluf. At such moment, a woman named Iczer-1 appears.

Such a long title to present the debut of Iczer-1 and Nagisa’s pairing, as well as Com-Battler V, Godannar and Neo-Okuser.

4 – The Flame Giant appears

At Earth’s inner world Darius, the Daiku Maryu and Darius forces are at combat. However, Daiya is thrown at the outside world alongside Gaiking. He’s able to request help from Lotus, but Darius attacks. Will Lotus make it on time?

The stage seems to feature white/fake Gaiking: Kaikink, as well as Dancouga Nova unleashing Dancouken.

It’s also rumored that, in exchange for the Partner System’s unit bonuses, there are no Enhance Parts in this game at all. Let’s wait for confirmation.

This week’s Famitsu (Ichigogumi) scans show the rival characters for SRWL:

Straybird: a Super Robot created by doctor Graife, it has a giant wing that captures energy from another dimension and turns into power, making its operating time practically endless. Since it has low firepower, it exceeds on mobility and acceleration. It also uses the dimensional energy for its optical stealth device Imaginary Road to defeat its enemies. Weapons: Crow Machinegun and Pheasant Cutter

Yunagi(?) Graife: Graife’s grandson, an 18 year old. He’s considered by Ichitaka as his older brother, but is careless, inarticulate and unsociable. He learned about machinary through self-discipline, and helps his grandfather on the biggest inventions. Through the strange combination with Haruno as his sub-pilot, they can push Straybird’s performance to its limits.

HL-O Haruno: an android created by doctor Graife, she’s programmed to be a maid, but it had combat data input into herself and was reborn as Straybird’s sub-pilot. After a certain event, she wanders around the world alongside Yunagi and the Straybird.

TGS gameplay videos:

It’s possible to see how the animation evolved, specially the animated cut-ins of Dancouga Nova’s Dancouhou. Rushbird also shows some impressive moves. As a side note, this time Wu-fei starts afilliated to Katou Kikan, it seems. It seems the themes for Linebarrels and Dancouga Nova are its respective opening songs, and Wu-fei features Last Impression (again).

Prologue:

A century has passed since the immigration of mankind to space. However, it was not a peaceful period. The restoration of nations after the Nuclear War. The war against the ancient Great Jama Empire… And the war at Earth brought food starvation, and the dependance on the colonies’ production raised more issues.

15 years ago…
An incident named “Second Impact” worsened the situation, already affected by the presence of unknown organizations “Darius Empire”, “Kato Organization” and “Dancouga”. The strengthening of military forces to confront those raised the tensions between Earth and the colonies.

5 years ago…
The battle named “Giant Wars” between mankind and the giant beings “Mimetic Beasts” started. Mankind wins after great suffering, but without finishing the civil war, and after the colony’s terrorist attack from 3 years ago, the Earth and colonies started a full scale war.

2 years ago…
The war that lasted 1 year finished with Earth forces’ victory, but the defenses of nations were destroyed. When the “Mechanical Beast Empire” appeared aiming this chance, the union with colonies created a new alliance that was able to defeat the “Mechanical Beast Empire” and “Micenae Empire”.

Days of peace finally arrived, but didn’t last long, with the assault of the “Darius Empire” and the unleashing of “Great Jama Empire” from it’s seal, mankind has yet to achieve complete peace.

And now… The contact with visitors from another world will raise the curtains of another war.
