Valsione

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Valsione is a fictional robot in the Super Robot Wars series. It has appeared as a playable unit in Super Robot Wars 3, Super Robot Wars EX, Super Robot Wars Gaiden: Masō Kishin The Lord of Elemental, the Super Robot Wars Alpha series and the Super Robot Wars Original Generation series. Its upgrade, the Valsione R, has appeared as a playable unit in Super Robot Wars 4, Super Robot Wars F Final, the Super Robot Wars Alpha series, and Super Robot Wars Gaiden: Masō Kishin The Lord of Elemental.

[edit] Appearance

The Valsione is a very distinctive mecha, with its female body styling, complete with long, colorful "hair". The Valsione's face is also protected by a covering that resembles human skin, and capable of changing its expressions to match those of its pilot. This makes the Valsione resemble a giant girl in armor.

[edit] Technical And Historical

The Valsione is a machine built and developed by the Divine Crusaders, under the leadership of Dr. Bian Zoldark. It was specifically designed for his daughter, Lune Zoldark, who was trained to become a pilot at a young age. It may be considered the female counterpart of the much more powerful Valsion, the personal machine to Bian himself (and the most powerful mecha of the Divine Crusaders, excluding the Granzon). Both the Valsione and the Valsion share the same, basic technology and weaponry. While less powerful than the Valsion, the Valsione is still quite a versatile robot compared to the usual standards. In the original timeline, the Valsione would be upgraded into the more powerful Valsione R (R for Reppu, Return) using Langran technology, when Lune went to La Gias.

The Valsione is flight-capable, probably due to some form of gravity control, as there are no visible thrusters. This allows it great mobility and speed -- in addition, it is able to make short burts of speed, giving it an ability to create an "after-image" effect to confuse enemies. When upgraded into the Valsione R, the machine's capabilities are enhanced, and new weapons are added.

The effect of the attack is so devastating that the moon in the background and the target is cut in half.
