Dunbine, is one of the "Aura Battlers" from the series Aura Battler Dunbine back in 1983. It was definitely one of Tomino's best work. It has a Tomino-style depressing ending, and a unique setting world with many notable character and mecha. But I'm not here to talk about the series itself.
Dunbine was known as the first "Hybrid Robot" series, a third classification of Robot-types. For some reason, I have never heard of that term again after this, and usual fans classify them simply as a Real Robot.
Dunbine(s) are small fast, and also mass-produced. They are powered by a mysterious magic-ish power "Aura"(you could say they're kinda like Getter-rays, just not as strong). Swords are their main weapon, or you could say their only weapon.
Since I'm posting this here, let's talking about their SRW counterpart. Dunbine is a very, very strong unit and one of the fasting thing around. In Alpha, we could pull off some around 20,000+ with the Hyper Aura Guri(their final attack). In F/Final(and the other classic titles), they're extremely fast and could survive the battlefield without much support. Their last appearance was at Compact 3 back in 2003.
That's pretty much it, be sure to check out next week!
