Here's what i have

OMG

The Virtual Century has begun. The world is under new management. It is the age of economic feudalism; Governments have been privatized, multinational conglomerates have carved the world into enterprise zones and sprawling business entities stretch their tentacles into every sector of public and private life.


V.C. 0084

The delicate balance of power maintained by the rival trade consortiums was thrown awry when a lunar-core mining survey commissioned by the DN. Group uncovered an extensive ruined outpost of incredible complexity and indeterminate age beneath the desolated surface of earth's moon.

The DN. Group appropriated esoteric machinery from the lunar ruins and implemented a revolutionary R&D program under the tightest security blanket----OT [Over Technology] system. Years of secret research culminated in the development and release of a new line of security-directed combat droids with battleground precision and attack capabilities far beyond any mechanized warriors produced by the competition.

OT system gave DN. Group a total monopoly cementing its dominance of the world's economy. But, more disturbingly the Internat security programs of the lunar base were accidentally re-armed by DN. Group technicians unleashing virtual-pandemonium on the surface of the moon. "Operation Moongate" was launched to shut down the base before the chaos could extend to earth...


V.C. 00 a. 0 (Present Day)

The battle for control of the moon is underway, with OT systems combat machines arrayed against the formidable remnants of the lunar complex defense forces. The DN Group forces have numerical superiority, but are being tactically outclassed by the experienced droids defending the base. In a desperate effort to recruit virtual pilots, the DN Military Support Division has opened a Test and Training program designed to cultivate maximum combat skills in the shortest possible time. As one of thousands of test candidates, you must prove yourself in simulation warfare against increasingly powerful DN test droids before qualifying for the MINDSHIFT into real-time combat in the lunar theatre.


THE STORY

The era had been renewed to the Virtual Century (V.C.). The earth bloc was ruled by the Hyper Contents Providers mainly involved with the enormous media industry. It was in the chaos of "Medieval Stagnation", politically and culturally.

In 0084 V.C., a major turning point had come to the earth bloc embarrassed by the space colony such as Mars growing its power as a frontier. DN Co., which was one of the Hyper Contents Providers, discovered the "Ruins" which was a vestige of the supreme civilization far beyond the level of the existing scientific technology while probing the resources on the moon surface. The top executives of DN Co. schemed to conceal and monopolize the OT (Over Technology) of the "Ruins". They intended to gain predominance over the other HCPs and the big organizations outside the earth.

They developed the new arms "VR (VIRTUAROID)" based on the OT as the advance guard, and strengthened the military power by organizing the troops equipped with VRs.

However, the times were going to the different direction from what they had expected. The confrontation among insiders got aggravated over the usage of OT represented by VRs. The intervention by outsiders were also intensified. Finally, in 00a0 V.C. (Virtual Century is notated in hexadecimal.), in the complicated situation, the "Ruins" itself ran out of control. In the worst condition, the powerful arms VIRTUAROID stood on the front stage of the history. People put the VRs into motion and executed the "Operation Moon Gate" to destroy the "Ruins".


It was just an overture leading to the endless battle.
--------------------------------


Virtual-On: Oratorio Tangram

Official Magazine Storyline:

"Moon Gate's awakening was an unnatural happening, a gigantic farce."

Using the DNA company, O.M.G. (Operation Moon Gate) became a weapon of vast destruction, but from the disentangled DNA; RNA, (a force who were confronting them) gained a sudden increase in power. Both of them claimed right of ownership to the nine industrial plants from the strong point of their Virtuaroid development.

However, no one saw the signs of their convergence as they fought around the plants. In the year V.C.a4, the reality was that they were finally approaching the climax of their war. Suddenly however, the nineth plant which held the main system of the TANGRAM (Space Time Causation Control Mechanism) vanished from the normal space-time continuum!

Considering that it had the ability to operate the Moon Gate, the loss of this plant was the advent of catastrophic danger to Earth. The Cybertroopers must search for Tangram! The pilot who is able to discover and possess the missing nineth plant will certainly be able to seize the initiative in the war's stalemate situation.

Both factions, DNA and RNA posses Virtuaroid cybertroopers. However, every area of their comprehensive reorganisation has evolved on a scale that has never been seen before! Now the curtain has been ripped down and the act begins for a new battle!"


Activision's Official Storyline:

The awakening of the MoonGate was purely artificial. The O.M.G. was a ploy to deceive and ruin the DN Corporation. From within the DNA rose a strong opposition force known as the RNA. The two factions fought viciously for control of the nine Virtuaroid development plants in a seemingly endless war.

The year V.C. a4 witnessed a dramatic turn of events. Plant 9 which uses the "Tangram", a mechanism that controls the laws of space and time, suddenly vanished from real space. The loss of such a powerful plant, a plant strong enough to control the MoonGate, exposed Earth and its neighbouring planets to grave danger.

"Locate the Tangram!"
The side that seizes control of the lost Plant 9 will gain a clear advantage in the current stalemate. Both the DNA and RNA have reassembled their VR forces on a scale never before seen, as both sides begin to search for the plant!

And now, a new round of battle begins...
--------------------------------------------------------------

VIRTUAL-ON "FORCE"

"On the Martian front, something is happening...!"

The omen was never paid any heeds

There was a time when terraforming prevailed along with the abandon of the endeavor

The memories of the distant stars and the dreams, faded away

Virtual Century: V.C.00a8

The discovery of the Mars Crystals changed everything.
The once forgotten red planet is now a battlefield where dashing Virtuaroids stir up the turmoil.
The dark side of history awakens, and the stagnant flow being roused.
Eventually the series of confrontations reached to a point which they are known as the "Jupiter Succession War".
From then onwards it became a major turning point which will determine the destiny of mankind.


---------------------------------

MARZ

Mars...
Abandoned...
Ignored...

Now ravaged by wars fueled by the greed of Cyber Syndicates.
Vast deserts ignite with explosions as the shifting sands of the red planet obscure the blood of the fallen.
But from the distant barren plains, a legend emerges.

Marz.
Special Mechanized Investigation Unit in charge of security in the Martian Zone in the Limited Wars.
The war for peace begins.

Once the greedy corporate executives harnessed the extreme powers of their technological network, towering mechanized
warriors known as Virtuaroids (VRs) quickly replaced the outdated warring methods of the past. The 49-foot
destructive giants drew vast crowds and the conniving power hungry suits soon saw yet another way to exploit the
mindless masses with industrialized combat performances known as Limited War. Mars was redeveloped as the
battleground and hordes of people with an insatiable thirst for widespread destruction and carnage came from all
over to gaze in awe as the battles commenced.

It wasn't long before the corporate climate disintegrated into rampant crime with heated battles over shares in
this profitable new event. A Special Investigations Unit called "MARZ" was developed in an attempt to restore order.
Members of the elite team were given the most superior machines available, rigged with lasers, rockets, and swords.
The MARZ Virtuaroids came to rule the surface of Mars.

Interesting post, thanks.
As a noob, i'll ask: the "eye" symbol (the tangram, basically) that appears on several virtuaroids... what is it?
