[Development Paths: Lv3--???; Lv4--??? (Unique); Lv6--??? (Unique); Lv25--??? (Unique)]
Cheng Tian tapped his nails against the tabletop, producing a crisp sound as he fell into thought over the development path chart that had appeared beneath Iron Man Blade.
Based on Cheng Tian's experience playing Beyond the World, combined with his experience with Getter Robo, which also did not belong to the Beyond the World system yet had been included among the developable units, he had formed some guesses about these route markers.
Under normal circumstances, developing a high-quality unit into a lower-quality one basically only required Lv2 or Lv3. If it was a lateral conversion between units of the same quality, Lv3, Lv4, and Lv5 were generally enough.
If Lv6 or above was required, it almost meant a leap of at least one minor tier. As for the Lv15 to Lv25 range, that was an exponentially greater qualitative transformation.
According to the pattern Cheng Tian had summarized, the Lv3 option without the Unique suffix should be a mass-produced model. It was very likely the steel savior manufactured from Tekkaman data in the original work: Soro Iron Man.
It had been implemented in Super Robot Wars W, so that seemed the most likely possibility.
As for the following three options with the Unique suffix, they could also be inferred according to this pattern.
The one that could be compared laterally with Blade was most likely his younger brother, Iron Man Ibill—the Devil.
As for the Lv6 option, Cheng Tian felt it was very likely a combination of Iron Man Blade and White Base, its exclusive mount and special transformation device.
As for the Lv25 with the highest requirement, it was probably the so-called super evolution.
But Cheng Tian still faced a rather special problem.
Tekkaman differed from conventional units.
