Chit-Chat of VirtuaRoid weapons!

Post by Temjin747K »

There are all sorts of weapons wielded by various VR's throughout the series, like the Temjin's Sleipnir MPBL, Raiden's laser irradiator cannons, Fei-Yen's heart beam, the Phalanx cannon used by Dorkas and Vox Joe, you name it!

A common misconception is that the Temjin 707's surfboard attack is called the "Surfing Ram." This is wrong, albeit understandable (The Temjin's special move from OMG is is called the "Gliding Ram," so you can see where the connection is made). The surfboard move is actually called the "Blue Slider." On that same token, Temjin's RTRW is named the "Radical Zapper." (source: Wall of Truth)

The names of each mode of the Sleipner are next to each picture, although it's probably not of any use if you can't read Japanese.

Temjin Launcher/Sleipnir

(Phase 1) Neutral Launcher
(Phase 2) Radical Zapper
(Phase 3) Blitz Saber
(Phase 4) Blue Slider

And Sleipnir is supposed to be Odin's eight legged horse that influenced the reindeer in the Santa Claus stories. Not sure why they named a gun after a christmas eight legged horse and let Genghis Khan ride on it...

the old HBV-05-E Raiden is armed with the ZIG-13 Bazooka Launcher, the ground bomb moving landmines, and a pair of ALI-02R Laser Irradiator Cannons, as most diehard VO fans on this site should know
