アストラナガン, this is the original name of Black Angel. Black Angel is the nickname of the Earth's military, similar to "Nightmare Crystal".

The Black Angel was originally an ultimate mobile weapon created by Ingram Ingram secretly using the Earth's SRX technology, Magic Machine God's technology, and the technology of the Balma Empire while he was lurking on the Earth. The power source is The quantum wave engine can absorb energy from the parallel universe and can theoretically travel through time and space. Due to the reference to the shape of robots on Earth, some of its weapons can easily be seen as copies of a certain "floating cannon" and retracting cannon. What’s funny is that even the lines spoken by the instructor during the battle were very passionate, such as DEAD END SHOOT, which was obviously influenced by super pilots. This line was later copied and used by Viletta in α3. The most common thing those clones say after attacking is DEAD END SHOOT, and MAXIMUM SHOOT. In addition, it has a variety of special effects: clones, telekinesis shields, and automatic recovery of physical strength and energy. It can be regarded as a clone of the "Dimension Link" system, except for a world-defying map weapon. No wonder it was the original enemy aircraft that topped the list in a survey after the completion of α. This is not easy for an aircraft that has only appeared once. Of course, its perverted setting and mysterious pilot Ingram also add a lot of points to it.

Ingram was originally the protagonist of "Superheroes Battle", and his relationship with Uzes is equivalent to light and shadow. The death of one person is equivalent to the end of another person, so Ingram is He is well aware of all the shenanigans on earth, and he knows that no matter what Ingram does, he can't escape from his five-finger mountain. So, he allowed Ingram to create the Black Angel, regardless of whether he told him about the precious super energy "Tenonium" discovered on the earth. Only a small particle of this energy can produce powerful energy. It was originally The Tenonim asteroids on the Balma star were abundant, but unfortunately they were destroyed in a battle with the Zenith star. The remaining Tenonim were only available to the spacecraft (MACROSS) that was sent to the earth earlier. ***Five pills, it can be said that finding this energy source is as important in Yuzes's heart as finding warriors with excellent telekinesis. But he pretended not to notice the little moves Ingram made. He could tell what Ingram was thinking just by looking at his eyes (mind reading?!). This can be seen when the instructor in α returned to the enemy. He brushed off some of the key questions raised by Youzes, and did not even tell Youzes that he planned to create a black angel. When Juzes asked him why he came back now after being on Earth for so long, he simply remained silent and left directly. He didn't expect that just when Juzes asked him, he already knew a rough idea of ??his behavior on the earth through his eyes, and also knew that there were remaining Tenonim on the earth, which he had always suspected before. Yes, it has finally been confirmed. So what exactly are the instructors hiding on Earth? How was the Black Angel created? It may be too late to talk about the instructor's "feat" now, but how many people can understand the pain and confusion in his heart? He has been controlled by Juzes from the beginning. Perhaps he is the strongest artificial life form No. 1 created by Juzes. This may be seen from the TV version of OG. However, in the original game, the identity of the instructor has always been a mystery. Federation Army information showed that he was from Jupiter, but of course we later learned that he was from Balma. This seems to contradict his future betrayal of Youzes. When Xia Biluo in "Super Beast Machine God" (the man who thought he could surpass gods) asked him where he came from, he said that even he himself didn't know. , but he heard from Youzes that he found him in a void space and rescued him. From this, we may know that he is not from Balma. And his exclusive music TIME DIVER also hints at what the producer wants to express: regardless of his background, he is just a passerby in time and space. If it was really just that, the instructor wouldn’t drive some players crazy (laughs).

The terrible thing is that he was extremely cool in the early stages of α. He was initially the captain of the PTX team, a special force used to fight aliens. The famous Irum in the F era also became his subordinate. Later, he considered defeating Yuzes. , to get rid of Juzes's control over him, he needed talents with telekinetic qualities, so he formed his own SRX team and became his captain as usual. He took a fancy to Takakatsu, who was excellent at playing fighting games, and Aya Furuhashi, the daughter of Kenzo Furuhashi, who had already done deep research on telekinesis. He also suggested that Rai, who lost his left hand due to a robot going berserk, be recalled to form a new team. Formed a team that was both capable and defensive. Among them, Lai had long wondered why the instructor chose him because he had no telekinesis. Unfortunately, he didn't think deeply about it at first. He didn't know that this was a trick played by the instructor when arranging manpower. Because the instructor noticed very early that although telekinesis is good, if you use too much force, unpredictable dangers will occur. If all three of them are telekinesis, it will be difficult to control the machine once it goes wild. Of course, Lai was born in Coming from a military family may also be one of the reasons. Through the SRX team's exercises in China, the instructor became more convinced that his choice was correct. Long Sheng is a typical hot-blooded character and impulsive, but Lai is just the opposite. He is an ice man who often throws cold water on Long Sheng when he gets carried away. As for Gu Lincai, Her appearance is the least needed reason. Japanese anime trios usually have a "red" one. Of course, her ambiguous relationship with the instructor in the early stage also made some fans talk about it. The three aircraft appear to be typical real-type machines, but they can become super-type through fusion. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. After the integration of the SRX team failed, the instructor resolutely shot down Gu Lincai with his own hands. I believe everyone who has played α will remember this night particularly well, and it is also related to whether he can obtain the "One Strike in the Sky" Killing gun". The reason why he did this can be known from the subsequent phone call between Viletta and him and the completion of the OG series. It turns out that Ingram discovered during his long-term "surveillance" of the SRX team that telekinesis will be most powerful only when the pilot is in a dangerous situation, which is the so-called "moderate rampage" (laughs). He also found that Long Sheng's quality was the most unstable, and Gu Lincai's ability also needed to be improved, and at that time he had already collected the necessary information on the Black Angel. Maybe he had already planned to leave before the failure of the integration. The failure of the integration was just his best excuse, just like what he said when he shot down Gu Lincai, "because she is an unqualified telekinesis product." He believes that standing in the enemy camp will make it easier to inspire the fighting spirit of the SRX team. If time goes on, not only will SRX not be able to be combined, but all his conspiracies will be exposed sooner or later. More importantly, he also feels the coming of the space monster. Time can tell It is urgent.

After he returned to Balma, while dealing with Juzes, he sent Viletta (his shadow) to act quickly to create an opportunity to lurk on the earth. After all, he is gone, there must be someone. Complete the mission for him. During this time, the Black Angel was secretly created. In addition, Ingram himself was an excellent telekinetic pilot. He designed the body to the maximum optimization based on his own characteristics, plus some super technologies on the earth. , the ultimate mobile weapon was born! After the machine was completed, what the instructor had to do was of course test the machine's performance, which is why he wandered around in the later stages (laughs). In the late α period, he often drove the Black Angel to travel alone among the major camps, including Harman and EVA headquarters. He even walked with people from other worlds and heard Bai Hechou say "If Gu Lansen and If the Black Angels fight, our universe may collapse." Although he acted calmly, his heart was still dancing with ecstasy. After all, he had already known how powerful Gulansen was. But what he can't let go of is the SRX team. How much more mature have they become than before? With this question in mind, he drove the Black Angel to a certain base of the federal army where the SRX team was located. At that time, the α team was busy fighting the invaders from another world and had no extra combat power to deal with him. Fortunately, he also stayed put.

Long Sheng was the first one to lose control and immediately flew out. R2 and R3 came later and wanted to end things with the instructor. On the contrary, Ingram was extremely calm and kept stimulating Long Sheng with fierce words. , As a result, Long Sheng's telekinesis went crazy, and SRX finally merged successfully. The instructor seemed very happy to see that SRX merged successfully, and left without fighting. Even Long Sheng felt that the instructor's visit this time seemed purely to facilitate the integration of SRX, but he still could not forgive the instructor for shooting down Gu Lincai. Of course, we now know why the instructor did this. In addition, in fact, in the early stage of α, when the instructor, Amuro and others were transferred to the different world of the holy warriors, he met the spiritual princess Ellie (エレ), and she saw that the instructor was fighting a spirit in his heart. , it's a pity that others didn't think about it carefully, and the instructor himself was silent. When the story developed to the final level of α, I never dreamed that Long Sheng could actually speak to Ingram. When TIME DIVER sounded, I knew that the former instructor was back again. I could tell from his soliloquy that he was He restored his personality in "Superheroes Battle" and remembered that his mission was to eliminate anyone who broke the laws of time and space. Of course, Uzes was the first to bear the brunt, but as mentioned before, eliminating Uzes was tantamount to suicide! Ingram did not hesitate at all and still helped Team Alpha eliminate Juzes, but he disappeared into the vast space with Black Angel. So, was there really no one on earth who saw through Ingram beforehand? Personally, I think Bai Hechou knows his true story to some extent. As a genius scientist, he had long seen that the so-called super-technical ETO that Balma left in MACROSS had been skillfully handled (in his own words, those technologies were child's play in his eyes), and forcefully Copying the original would lead to unpredictable consequences, so in order to make Balma paralyzed, he deliberately concealed this fact, making Balma mistakenly believe that the technology of the earth people was just that, and that sending a fleet could solve it. As a result, the murderous bird with the black hole engine activated went berserk during the test. Only three people survived, and Lai lost his left hand. He even refused on the spot to introduce a black hole engine into his Grandson, and made excuses to leave the scene during the test of the Fierce Bird. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that he had seen the shadow of Youzes in the instructor in advance, and the two used each other to jointly transfer Youzes and others to a different dimension on the eve of the α decisive battle, although in the end Youzes instead moved Shirakawa Chou and others were enclosed in a subspace. And in the final battle, if the player deliberately lets Bai Hechou attack the instructor before talking to the instructor, he will say: "You still haven't gotten rid of Youzes' control. Let me help you get rid of it!" No matter why, I always feel that these two people have a feeling of "sympathizing with each other". After the war, the SRX team searched for the instructor but found no clues. Therefore, most people believed that Ingram was gone, at least not in this universe. After he left, Viletta replaced him as the captain of the SRX team and continued to train the "immature" players. In fact, in the future world of α Gaiden, the Black Angel once appeared as a means of attack in the human-shaped attack of Araemon, but I don’t think anyone can accept this appearance. But in the R-boy route of α3, Amuro also said that the last time he saw the Black Angel was in the future world of Gaiden. It seems that this is also an officially recognized setting.
