[edit] Appearance
The Thrudgelmir is a large and extremely well armored mecha with a thick design. It has white on its shoulders and upper body area, red drills stored on the backpack, black legs, green crystalline spikes on its shoulders and legs, and some blue on its arms and legs.
[edit] Technical And Historical
In Super Robot Wars Alpha Gaiden, when the Alpha Numbers are sent to the future, the future becomes a bleak one because they are not there to help the Aegis Project. The members of the Earth Cradle are released. Sanger Zonvolt in his Grungust Sanshiki fought off members of the Mycene Empire (Great Mazinger enemies) as well as Dinosaur Empire (Getter Robo enemies). However, at some point, Sophia Nate, scientist and Sanger's love interest, was infected with Machine Cells. She was induced by the Magus System, becoming "Magus". Both Sanger and his Grungust were infected by Machine Cells as well. This turned his Grungust into the Thrudgelmir. Sanger would continue to use this weapon as the "Sword of Magus" until he realizes the truth about what has gone on and regains his memories. He then joins Alpha Numbers in their quest for peace.
The story of the Thrudgelmir is much different in Original Generation 2. In the Shadow Mirror universe, Sanger Zonvolt died in an accident. He was rebuilt, however, as Wodan Ymir, an android of sorts, with Sanger's memories and thoughts. His Grungust Sanshiki is infected by Machine Cells to become his new weapon, the Thrudgelmir.
This beast is an infected Grungust Sanshiki. It boasts immense levels of power that are unmatched by many units. Because of the Machine Cells, it can constantly regenerate itself. The Sanshiki's Zankantou (Colossal Blade in the English localization) has now been absorbed into the machine's being. A portion of the shoulder, a larger central spike and two smaller spikes, separate to form the hilt, the handle is created from the bottom, and then the blade forms on top. Through in and through out, the Thrudgelmir is a unit not to be taken lightly.
[edit] Specifications
Height: 53.7 meters
Weight: 402.3 tons
Weapon Systems:
- Drill Boost Knuckles
The Thrudgelmir arms itself with the two massive drills on the backpack. It then launches the arms forward. This aerial drill attack tears the enemy apart with utter ease.
- Zankantou Inazuma Juuryoku Otoshi (斬艦刀稲妻重力落し）
A section of the shoulder is ejected from the unit. It produces a handle to hold it. It then produces a large blade. The Thrudgelmir rushes forward and delivers a hard spinning slash to deliver mass amounts of damage.
[edit] Notes
Notice there is a Divine Crusaders emblem on the Thrudgelmir's armor plating on the crotch. This relationship shows that the Earth Cradle project was actually made by Bian Zoldark, the founder and head of the Divine Crusaders.
