* '''''[[Anime/MiraiRoboDaltanious Future Robo Daltanious]]'''''

** Also, after Shin Dragon opened a wormhole to get to Jupiter as quickly as possible, it stayed open after it left, and [[Anime/{{Megazone 23}} MZ23]], which activated its jump drive to escape from A.D.A.M., emerged out of it. After it landed on the moon, the [[Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam Zanscare Empire]], ever obsessed with motorcycles, broke into it and stole a bunch of mass production type Garlands, which they later used against League Militaire.

* CombiningMecha: Daltanius, Godmars, Getter Robo, Shin Getter Robo and [[spoiler: Forte Gigas, combined from the protagonists' super robots Ganador and Strega]].
* CompositeCharacter: [[Anime/{{Godmars}} Emperor Zuul]] in ''Destiny'' is a combination of the original Emperor Zuul from the TV series (has his appearance and personality), [[Anime/MiraiRoboDaltanious Emperor Dolmen]] (due to the Kroppen cloning plot) and [[Anime/UFORoboGrendizer King Vega]] (he led the attack that destroyed Planet Fleed).

** Both the [[Anime/{{Megazone 23}} Trash gang]] and the [[Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam Shrike Team]] only appear as summon attacks.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: [[Anime/{{Macross 7}} Gepelnitch]], The Invaders, Emperor Zuul and the BigBad Perfectio.

* EnemyMine: While ''Destiny'' includes antagonists from ''Gundam ZZ'', ''Char's Counterattack'' and ''Gundam Wing'', the situation at hand causes them to have the competence to ally with you all at the start since things are bad enough. Due to the Zanscare Empire attacking Earth, along with the Invaders and the [[Anime/{{Macross7}} Protodevlin]], and the [[VillainTeamUp united alien forces of the villains]] from ''Daltanius'', ''Godmars'' and ''Grendizer'', the heroes quickly realize pretty much the only organizations out there that still have the sheer manpower to defend humanity are the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Neo Zeon]] and the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Organization of Zodiac]]. Thankfully, [[Anime/TheBigO Roger Smith]] takes care of the negotiations. This results in one of the first ''heroic'' roles for longstanding villains like Char (his roles as Quattro aside).

%%* FragileSpeedster: Most notably the [[Anime/{{Megazone 23}} Garland]], as well as the [[Anime/{{Godmars}} Cosmo Crusher]] and the [[Anime/{{Macross7}} Valkyries]].

* PutOnABus: [[Anime/{{Macross 7}} Emerald Force member Physica and Gamlin Kizaki's custom VF-22]], [[Anime/MazingerZ Dr. Hell, Baron Ashura, Count Brocken]], [[Anime/GreatMazinger the Mycenae Empire]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ Judau's friends and younger sister]] do not appear in ''Destiny''.
** For obvious reasons, [[Anime/{{Megazone 23}} Eve]] has a negligible presence once that storyline has been completed, but [[TheBusCameBack in her case, in about the best way possible]].
* RedshirtArmy: For once, not the basic grunts typical of a Gundam series, but the [[Anime/{{Macross 7}} VF-11 Thunderbolt]] appears, as well. There's also a [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Taurus]] squad that gets destroyed by the [[Manga/GetterRobo Shin Dragon]].

* TooDumbToLive: [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Duke Dermail]], even more so than his canon counterpart. Literally every decision he makes ends up backfiring spectacularly: [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Give the Axis to Char]]? He drops it on Earth. Call the [[Anime/{{Macross 7}} Macross 7 Fleet]] back? Not only do they refuse to obey OZ, who toppled the only government they recognized, but the Protodevlins also follow them to Earth. Refuse Neo Zeon's ceasefire? Lady Une realizes that he's a liability and turns against him, which ultimately leads to his KarmicDeath.
* TookALevelInKindness: [[Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam Chronicle]] and Katejina are much less bonkers and murderous in the game than they were in the series, to help suspend the disbelief that they'd be worth saving in the first place. And then there's [[Anime/{{Megazone23}} B.D]], who is [[DefeatMeansFriendship recruitable if you beat him quickly enough]], and isn't the same population-controlling ass he was in the show. Also, Char is less obsessed with his former ambition of forcing everyone to become Newtypes and becomes an honest-to-God ''BigGood'' for a change. Also qualifies as AdaptationalHeroism.
* UnnecessarilyLargeInterior: The final scenario is a particularly egregious example. It takes place in an underground base at the South Pole. One of the battleships available for the mission is the [[Anime/{{Macross 7}} Battle 7]], a [[TransformingMecha transforming]] CoolStarship that stands 1400 meters tall (about 200 meters short of a mile). It ''still'' has room to either fly or walk.

* CloningBlues: Kroppen is a clone of Emperor Harin, Kento's father, but he accuses Harin of being the clone. A radiation test verifies that Kroppen is indeed the clone.

* TooDumbToLive: [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Duke Dermail]], even more so than his canon counterpart. Literally every decision he makes end up backfiring spectacularly: [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Give the Axis to Char]]? He drops it on Earth. Call the [[Anime/{{Macross 7}} Macross 7 Fleet]] back? Not only do they refuse to obey OZ, who toppled the only government they recognized, but the Protodevlins also follow them to Earth. Refuse Neo Zeon's ceasefire? Lady Une realizes that he's a liability and turns against him, which ultimately leads to his KarmicDeath.

* TooDumbToLive: [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Duke Dermail]], even more so than his canon counterpart. Literally all of the decisions he make end up backfiring spectacularly: [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Give the Axis to Char]]? He drops it on Earth. Call the [[Anime/{{Macross 7}} Macross 7 Fleet]] back? Not only do they refuse to obey OZ, who toppled the only government they recognized, but the Protodevlins also follow them to Earth. Refuse Neo Zeon's ceasefire? Lady Une realizes that he's a liability and turns against him, which ultimately leads to his KarmicDeath.

* AwesomeMcCoolname: "[[spoiler:Forte Gigas]]" is ''exactly'' what you want your HumongousMecha to be called.

* ContinuityNod: Each character who can pilot the Hi-Nu Gundam has [[ILetGwenStacyDie the person they most regret being unable to save]] as part of the animation for the Fin Funnels - [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Lalah]] for Amuro, [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Four]] for Kamille, and [[MobileSuitGundamZZ Ple]] for Judau.
