Big O is the giant robot from THE Big O the show is named after. The Big O is piloted by the main character, Roger Smith. Like many things from the show, the capabilities and existence of the Big O are shrouded in mystery.

Mech Information

The Big O belongs to a classification of other robots from THE Big O called The Bigs. Like the name implies, the word Big is contained in its name and they all share the same traits of being huge, bulky, and armed from head to toe with weapons and gadgets. Later in the series, the Big O was revealed to have been mass-produced during the events that occurred prior to the beginning of the series.

Mech Data

Not much is known about the Big O and other megadeus as their information in Paradigm City has been lost. However, Roger's butler, Norman, appears to have memories of servicing and maintaining the Big O and has modified it for whatever situations Roger may encounter as Paradigm City's negotiator.

Weapons

The Big O is equipped with the following weapons:

• Arc Line - A set of eye lasers.
• Chrome Buster - A destructive beam ray that charges when the Big O raises its arms. After charging is complete, the Big O bumps its fists to unleash the beam from its head.
• Final Stage - A weapon of mass destruction hidden beneath the Big O's abdomen that can only be activated with the presence of Dorothy. Upon a transformation sequence that activates the plasma gimmick and exposes a monstrous cannon, the Big O charges it and unleashes its power. The cannon is so powerful that the Big O must deploy all of its Moby Dick anchors to withstand the recoil. The cannon is purged after firing.
• Missile Party - An array of missile launchers lined along the Big O's rib cage.
• Moby Dick Anchors - Jet propelled anchors that fire from the Big O's waist. These are mainly used to deal with enemies that attempt to take advantage of the weight and low mobility of the Big O. These anchors can be controlled manually from within the cockpit.
• O-Thunder - Energy-based machine guns that are hidden in the Big O's arms. Upon use the arm opens up to reveal the machine guns and the hand is concealed. The wrist rotates at a very high speed as the machine guns are firing, creating a circular ring that lags behind the projectiles being shot. The ring will eventually reach its target and explode on contact.
• Plasma Gimmick - Generators located under the shields and the upper body are capable of utilizing energy to shield or destroy.
• Sudden Impact - Pistons located on the elbows of each arm. The combination of Big O's brute strength and the combustion of the piston delivers a destructive force capable of blowing things into pieces.

Special Systems

The Big O, despite being shown as a giant robot, is actually slowly revealed to be semi-sentient. Like the other Big machines, the Big O must deem its pilot worthy of controlling it. Roger, through meeting Norman and his latent memories, is bound to the Big O. Dorothy also shares an important connection to the Big O since not only is she needed to activate the Final Stage, but during an event when she stumbles into danger, the Big O locks Roger out of its cockpit, implicitly telling him that she needed to be saved. Norman has modified the Big O so that Roger's limousine can be parked inside its foot and Roger can immediately board the Big O despite its cockpit being located near its neck. Norman has also utilized Paradigm City's underground railway to deliver the Big O in ground breaking fashion whenever Roger calls for it with his wristwatch.

Big O in Super Robot Wars

The Big O is arguably one of the most tanky super robots players may control in Super Robot Wars. Capable of using a shield, this combined with Roger's innate Guard skill make the Big O laugh off numbers from anyone that is not a boss. The Big O, while limited in movement, is still a king of land combat. It's melee attacks are all within 1-2 range, but all of its ranged attacks can cover good distance. The Big O is not that dependent on energy, but its high-damage output attacks are very limited in ammo. The Big O tends to struggle outside of land terrain, and optional parts that change terrain ratings are a must should the player want to make the most out of Big O's performance. Roger's spirit command pool makes the most out of the Big O's high damage, and the inclusion of Dorothy also allows the Big O to be a solid defensive support unit, if not a front liner.

This also applies to enemy Big O's, but luckily their AI pilots are not as smart or capable compared to Roger and they will most likely struggle to land hits on the player's units.
