The Randgrith is a fictional robot in the Super Robot Wars series. Its upgrade is known as the Randgrith Raven. It appears as a playable unit in Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation 2, Super Robot Wars Original Generations, and Super Robot Wars Original Generation Gaiden.
Randgrith is also the name of one of the many valkyries of Norse mythology.
Appearance
Similar to the Laz Angriff, the Randgrith is made up of a rather inelegant package of weapons built into a humanoid frame. It is less armored than the Laz Angriff and is usually painted in green. The Randgrith's design is heavily based on the Dougram machines from Fang of the Sun Dougram. The Randgrith Raven carries an additional flight pack mounted along its shoulders, giving its appearance a loose resemblance to the Dragonar Custom units of Metal Armor Dragonar.
Technical And Historical
The Randgrith is Type-30 of the Valkyrie series of mobile weapons, developed from the Fylgia hovertank. Its design is the basis of the RGC-034 Laz Angriff and is assigned the RGV-30 model number. The Shadow-Mirror mass-produces this unit after jumping from the Shadow-Mirror universe to the Original Generation dimension. Both Shadow-Mirror and Neo Divine Crusaders officers, including the Shadow-Mirror's bioroid army, utilize this machine. Some of the more notable officers to use the Randgrith are Yuuki Jaggar, Ricarla Borgnine, and Seolla Schweizer.
The Randgrith is equipped with various missile launchers, a Linear Cannon that uses solid rounds, a beam coat, a missile jamming system, and a mecha-sized knife for use in emergencies or close combat situations. A handheld pistol is normally carried if the use of missiles is less than ideal. The Randgrith Raven sports an additional Linear Cannon as part of its upgrade.
Like most units created by the Shadow-Mirror, the Randgrith has a self-destruct option called Code ATA (Ash To Ash).
