Armored Trooper VOTOMS in Super Robot Wars
Units from Armored Trooper VOTOMS may be mass-produced and expendable piles of experience, but these units may give you trouble especially if your units are not adept on certain terrain or have low accuracy. Luckily, Chirico Cuvie and his playable allies are well adapted to VOTOMS and real robot combat. Players may easily overlook the VOTOMS cast due to the mediocre units that have difficulty adjusting to multiple terrain, but the pilots themselves have great stats and character traits. VOTOMS units make great grunt killers and excellent offensive support units and due to their mass-produced nature, replacing them will be pretty cheap should they ever be shot down. Like realistic military weapon systems, choosing the proper optional attachments and heavily customizing optional parts on VOTOMS units will bring out the best of they have to offer.
