Dis Astranagant

The Dis Astranagant is a fictional robot in the Super Robot Taisen series. It appears as a playable unit in the 3rd Super Robot Taisen Alpha only, but also appears in the opening sequence and final episode of the animated Super Robot Taisen Original Generation: Divine Wars.

The Dis Astrangant's theme song is "The Gun Of Dis", which happens to be a techno-inspired remix of the original Astranagant's theme song, "Kokuu Kara no Shisha" (Messenger from the Void).

Appearance[]

Designed by Shin Megami Tensei visual artist Kazuma Kaneko, Dis Astranagant has the general appearance of a suit of Gothic plate armor, although it shows some homage to ancient Egyptian motifs as well. Its general color scheme is jet-black with gold highlights and gray coloring on its chest plates and crimson eyes. Its sharp, angular, golden wings fold out to reveal numerous thrusters that emit a neon-green exhaust of energy. This phosphorescent glow hints at the original Astranagant's T-Link wings. Its face has very little recognizable features save its eyes and two head-mounted crests shaped like bat wings. The chin and neck appear to be fused into one piece with its upper torso. The result is a grim, demonic appearance that is certainly frightening to behold though it is significantly smaller then its predecessor.

Technical And Historical[]

Following its capture by Calico McCready, the Werkbau is overhauled by Shiva Gozzo using data of the Astranagant acquired from the Mark of the Originator that was engraved on Cobray Gordon when the Astranagant fused with his Baruch Ben, by studying the Werkbau's Dean Lev, Shiva was able to complete the Dis Lev power source which absorbs infinite negative energy from the souls of the dead and install it on the Dis Astranagant, though he had developed the Dis Lev he's been shown to be wary of its power, during Cobray's escape the Dis Astranagant broke free, after defeating the Dis Astranagant and conversing with the Soul of Ingram, Cobray became the machines pilot taking on Ingram's role as the Keeper of Karmic Balance. Cobary would use the Dis Astranagant to assist the Alpha Numbers until the end of the war, defeating Keisar Ephes and vanishing from the world afterwords.

Super_Robot_Taisen_Alpha_3_~Dis_Astranagant_All_Attacks~ — Super Robot Taisen Alpha 3 ~Dis Astranagant All Attacks~

Code Name : Kuroki Juushin (The Black Gun God)

Model Number: Unknown

Height: 22.3 meters

Weight: 58.8 tons

Main Power Source: Dis Lev, a power source that uses the souls of the dead for power, using the gap between life and death.

Armor Material: Unknown, but it is assumed to be Zfylud Crystals, like the original Astranagant.

Weapon Systems:

Raam Shotgun
This handheld weapon is stored on the right side of the waist. It is a shotgun that fires spread shots or a condensed beam for long distance attack.

Z.O. Scythe
A staff-like weapon is stored on the left side of the waist of the Astranagant. This can emit Z.O. (Zfylud Orichalconium) energy to form a scythe. The Z.O. Scythe's haft can combine with the Raam Shotgun to extend the staff, thus making it a dual-purpose weapon. Assumed to be the original Astranagant's Z.O. Sword.

Gun Slave
Remote weapons similar to funnels, these weapons are stored on the back of the Dis Astranagant and maintain flight using bat-like wings. They can work together to bombard an opposing force with energy beam attacks from multiple directions, and can attach themselves to objects and fire at point blank range. Assumed to be the original Astranagant's Gun Familiars.

Meth Asher
Two large cannons mounted on the backpack of the Dis Astranagant that flips over the shoulders to assume firing position, each launching a black hole-like anomaly at the opponent to entrap and destroy it. This weapon seems to serve the same purpose as the original Astranagant's Axion Cannon and a combination of the Werkbau's Emeth Asher and Axion Buster.

Ain Soph Aur
The Dis Astranagant's ultimate attack, where the chest opens to reveal the Infinity Cylinder. Cobray mutters the term "Tetractys Grammaton" and summons the power Ingram had (the sequence also shows Ingram's soul being absorbed by Cobray, turning his silver hair blue). The Dis Astranagant then launches a full power beam using the power of Dis Lev that entraps the opponent between 10 Neutron Stars, causing a temporal oscillation, completely erasing them from existence. One could say the attack is even allowing time to flow backwards until the moment just before the target's existence began, as stated in Cobray's quote, "Now return to nothingness, in the midst of this infinite light!". The words Ain Soph Aur means "infinite light" in Hebrew, taken from the Kabbalah, where it is used to describe the creation of the universe. It is commonly taken to be an ancient mystical idea of the Big Bang. Sometimes Cobray adds Dead End Shot after the name.

Trivia[]

Supposedly, this machine is so incredibly powerful that only one instance of it (or its predecessor, the Astranagant) can exist at a time, even though there are probably an infinite number of different versions of Cobray to pilot it.
In the PS2 Dis Astranagant final attack would cause the game to slow down only by playing in a PS2 emulator would Dis Astranagant final attack would run smoothly.
