Vanguard Bandits/YMMV


 * Complete Monster: Faulkner has no redeeming qualities. Madoc, though not as actively malevolent, deserves some consideration as well - he built an ATAC, the Sharking, designed to kill the enemy ATAC's pilot... without anyone asking him to do so.
 * The Emperor in fact found the Sharking so monstrous he immediately ordered all of them destroyed! Madoc hid them away and lies instead. He then relishes the opportunity Faulkner gives him to build an entire ARMY of them.
 * Crowning Moment of Awesome:, hands down. Theme Music Power-Up, dramatic dialogue, a demonstration of every move the characters can use... just epic. Working Designs noted the awesomeness of the sequence and actually added voice overs in it (the Japanese version only had text) to up its anime-like feel.
 * Crowning Music of Awesome: We're willing to say "the whole soundtrack" (the BGMs are really very unique), but if we had to choose, most would say the menu theme is pretty awesome - in both its original and English versions. It kinda makes you wait for the song to end before going back to playing the game.
 * The Woobie: Thompson's fate is miserable on every path in the game.
