Single-handedly inventing the "Real Robot" subgenre, Gundam forced all of its predecessors to be redefined as part of the "Super Robot" subgenre. Not surprisingly, Real Robots became all the rage after Gundam. Shows such as Combat Armor Dougram and Walker Machine Xabungle followed the trail (Writer & Director) Yoshiyuki Tomino had blazed."  Mark Simmons ("Gundam Official Guide.")  #031940
