History Trivia / FrameArmsGirls

* FanNickname:
** Rather than ''FA Girls'', some people refer to them as [=FAGs=] instead. The sheer amounts of yuri fanservice in the anime has only made this moniker more prevalent.
*** In fact, ''FAG'' [[http://i.imgur.com/IS3GOQW.jpg was the original abbreviation]] before Kotobukiya deemed the line successful enough to start actively marketing it to the West.
** Hresvelgr has enough nicknames for an entire fast food menu:
*** Hamburger for Hresvelgr, due to the difficulty of spelling or pronouncing her name.
*** Cheeseburger for Hresvelgr Ater, since she is blonde and her white suit invokes mayonnaise.
*** Hamburglar (or Big Mac) for Hresvelgr's fifth red-and-yellow colour variant, as a Mcdonald's joke.
*** Baconburger for Hresvelgr Rufus.
** Smug Cat for Innocentia, given her smug smile.
** Bunnylard for Baselard, given her PlayboyBunny-esque design.
** Byakko for Baihu, as a Japanese pronunciation of her name instead of the official use of the Chinese pronunciation.
** Humida for Charger, given what happened as per AuthorAvatar. Note that Humida is already an existing nickname for ''Fumi''kane Shima''da''.
** [[{{UsefulNotes/Baka}} Aho]] for Ao, since she can be such a lovably dense doofus at times. Even the Sound Director describes her as ''Aho no ko''.
** Selfie Car for Zelfikar, as an amusing mishearing.

** Selfie Car for Zelfikar, as an amusing {{mondegreen}}.

** [[{{UsefulNotes/Baka}} Aho]] for Ao, since she can be such a [[{{Adorkable}} lovably dense doofus]] at times. Even the Sound Director describes her as ''Aho no ko''.

* AuthorAppeal: Fumikane, being the main designer for several of the FA Girls, originally designed them with stoic/neutral expressions and modest bust sizes. In addition, his traditional MechaMusume design style can be seen in their armor.

** Konami, now returning to the gaming industry in infamy and ignominy, strike a contract with Kotobukiya to assist in reviving their ''Busou Shinki'' with the Rebuild/Re-Arm/Revive series.

** Bandai started the mecha musume figure craze with their Gundam Girls sub-franchise in the 1980s with cute girls dressed up like mobile suits.
** Konami then created a major niche in the market with their Busou Shinki in the 2000s, but stopped production in the 2010s due to their unsuccessful attempt to rebrand into a pure Pachinko company, leaving a gap in the market. Kotobukiya bought over a lot of the now-laid-off Shinki engineering team, and used their talents to make vast strides in improving the newly-created Frame Arms Girls. This allowed them to follow the lead on mecha musume and carve out their market share, which in turn allowed them to invest more in improved engineering for successive waves of FA Girls, further cementing their corner of the plamo market.
** Bandai, seeing a plamo competitor suddenly carve out a significant market share in mecha musume kits, counter-escalated by making their MS Girls kits for Gundam Build Fighters and then Build Divers (to mixed reactions, with Sarah and Ayame being their most successful figures), in addition to designing and releasing more Armored Girls Project mecha musume action figures. Goodsmile and Max Factory followed suit by striking deals to create nendoroids and figma for the Kantai Collection and Azur Lane series of mecha musume.

** Rather than ''FA Girls'', some Anons on /toy/ refer to them as [=FAGs=] instead. The sheer amounts of yuri fanservice in the anime has only made this moniker more prevalent.

** Bunny for Baselard, given her PlayboyBunny-esque design.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Several of Humida's prototype designs are slightly different from the final releases. For example, Architect's hair colour and style changed from green with twintails to a bluish-white HimeCut. and Jinrai changed armor colours several times, resulting in her fuchsia and indigo colour variants.

AuthorAvatar: Humida began using a Charger bristling with charging cable "tentacles" as his avatar on Twitter after the fans had a laugh at a screenshot from the show that superimposed his name in the in-line credits with a picture of Charger.
