Might as well make the swords either:
1) Disposable
2) Indestructable
3) MADE OF LIGHT

Awake, awaiting caffeine, and air conditioning is on. Calling the vote, I have just enough time to see if I can get the rolls out on time before heading to work.
Granted the battle plans don't vary all that much (
) but I'm cool with that. You guys are just on the cusp of breaking into the 'regular season' after all. (Still debatable if this is an OAV yet or not)

Well, that's because the strategy is to "to kill the Cyberdemon, shoot until it dies" in most cases, so no point to have multiple variations if the outcome is still the same.
Things will change once we can deploy multiple units at once, not merely a Core plus supports.
I went to sleep and missed @Alectai not changing his plan. Next time I should just write my own and shamelessly crib from him (and other posters) ideas.
I do think that there was a legitimate debate on strategy this vote vis a vis using inferno, using calling shots and my idea thatvI didn't get to articulate about using the fact that we are trying to get the dragon to focus on Callaghan to ever so slightly draw it away from the docks; but c'est la vie.

Hrunting the Dragon
- Turn One: Arc Blade called shot to attempt to sever the horn while it should be recharging, Callagahn Reroll on this. Follow up with Demolisher free activation and a double Unarmed Strike, engaging Inferno as support. K-Suit Reroll on K-Scale save rolls. There may be wrestling moves involved in this, not sure what would be appropriate given the size difference.
- Turn Two: Support fire from Pegasus and Longship wing, Beowulf will use one of his actions as a Called Shot to try and cauterize some of the blood spray with Inferno and his second action for a Double Strike, using the Callaghan Reroll to support the Called Shot and the K-Suit reroll defensively.
- Turn Three: Switch to Arc Blade, as it should be back online if it was damaged earlier, go to town with it. Also, our free Demolisher proc. Rerolls distributed as usual for this exchange.
- Conditional: Engage Electromagnetic Shield in response to super moves. Use Finishers when possible, spending any Callaghan Rerolls unspent on them.

The situation: Timberwolf still has Initiative, but he's got a giant acidic horn stuck in his guts and is skidding backwards from the momentum of a very angry Kaiju.

Gotta give it to the DamCon guys.
They're trying to keep a sand castle intact... when there's a giant scaled bully trying to take it down.
Major props.

Even from the comments I can see that the battle will be metal and we're guarantered to force the kaiju to retreat, or even crush him before the other SR arrives. YAY!
Gotta target these wings next turn to avoid it escaping. Or perhaps trapping the kaiju into a grapple/wrestling move to restrict its movements.
Someone good at maths can calculate how much HP did the enemy have, please?
Cool. Now then, we ought to do 6 more points of damage max and no more to avoid premature retreat, then activate electro-barrier to have the kaiju hurt himself more, and then finish the enemy with a Finisher.
After that, it's Westphalians' time!

Started at 54, and ending at 19 with its primary move disabled while we still have access to the Foxhound Formation.
If the thing was programmed with self preservation instincts its...
Wait a second.
Lets make sure to loot the Horn.

Sadly, being a thing made of BS acid, chances are it will self-destruct unless something or someone freezes it. Say, someone like Mercury V...
Unfortunately, they will start asking lots of questions if we petition them to do that, as well as increase the chance that sooner or later someone will discover that kaiju are made of soylent green.
I wouldn't be surprised if it has a final transformation mode instead of a "fight or flee" test.
However, considering how difficult to produce these creatures are, chances are it will try to flee at the first opportunity, unless it spots Mercury at some point, and not even then.
No they won't.
The Majors breakout feat is containing Kaiju samples for study. So far as the Union is concerned we are the experts, barring Sheol.

So the horn enabled its ranged attack then. Science is needed to reveal its secrets!
Negaquest must be shitting itself when the rumors about Devin get out. The guy is their specialist at Kaiju, Super Robots, and Ai.
Yell at Damage control to get a truck and haul that to the nearest freezer, stat.

They can still complain and be uncooperative as possible though before conceding, and perhaps try to fish for an opportunity to get a kaiju sample. These guys would be the ones that would discover the truth behind kaiju's dna faster than us, as they probably wouldn't try to waste time figuring out how to weaponize it.
They have Mazinger Z and their own flying ship, they won't be too concerned but perhaps a little worried for now. Of course, those paranoid enough will be claiming that the Fourth Impact variation is our ultimate objective somehow.

And depending on how you view Ichiro he got his "son" in the giant robot already.
Like, why do you start with the assumption that Mercury V will oppose us? The Beowulf is inside a EUDF naval base heroically fighting against Sheol's Kaiju (while being the EUDF's initiative to fight against super robot threats to protect the populace).
Why would Hiroki start shit with Callaghan? It makes no sense.

Usually the non federation pilots in SRW have a low opinion of the Federation in general. The pilots eventually become friends though.
???
In OGs most of the cast are part of the federation army and in crossover games the equivalent of the fedration is whatever fits the shows in the game.
Like, you have SRW W which includes both GGG and Gundam SEED so the fedration has both good people and bad people inside it; while SRW J includes SEED, Nadesico and Tekkaman Blade so everyone in the Earth government is an asshole.
Barring the fact that we play as the EUDF super robot force, one of the major villain groups is Westphalians separatists. Y'know the villains who claim that the Union is evil and want to return to the age where the Earth was individual countries and they had disproportionate amounts of power?

"Oh that's just bullshit" - someone, probably.
Poor Sheol should be freaking out if he's watching. Even more so if he figures out we're putting Kaiju tissue in the mech.
