Knights of the Multiverse Animated Shorts

The Knights of the Multiverse Animation Shorts are a collection of test animations for the series proper, featuring all the members of The Knights in huge battles against the main antagonistic force of the season. Each segments showcases the abilites of almost each member of the main cast, and characters that joins the team in each subsequent season appear in later segments. The first four shorts are only meant to give little, while the last four act as abridged versions of the plots to the four seasons of the show proper. Each segment is also modeled off of intros/previews from the Super Robot Wars/previews, particularly those for DD, MX, Alpha 2, Z, Z2 & 2.2, Z3 & 3.2, and Alpha 3.

Important Note: None of these should be taken as canon to the main series.

Overview
Like a majority of test animations, the first one doesn't really tell a narrative. Rather, it's simply a showcase to see the show's numerous characters in action. This short was modeled after (and even uses the music used in) the intro to Super Robot Wars DD.

Overview
A little bit longer than the previous short, this one is to show a couple more characters set to appear in the series (or at least, from the first and second seasons). This animation is based off of the intro for Super Robot Wars Z3 Zengoku-Hen.

Synopsis
The short opens on a rock canyon with a strong wind blowing through it. Suddenly, a flash of light appears over the ridge, and Great Mazinger flies across the screen, followed close behind by Daimos, Jeeg (with its Mach Drills equipped), Raideen, and Daitarn 3, flying towards an interdimensional portals as Dark Army Drones shooting out of it. A Drone raises its rifle to try and shoot at the flying group, but is suddenly blasted from a shot from Pacifica's Grappling Hook. Standing on a nearby ridge, she pulls her weapon back as Melody, Dani, and Candace (using one of her brothers' jet packs) fly above the nearby ridge. Mel launches her finger missiles while Candace aims and fires her. The shot transitions to the thrusters on Jeeg's Mach Drills, which he launches directly into two nearby Drones, and as he reattaches its normal arms, another Drone runs up to attack him, but Daimos knocks it back with a kick to the head. The two comrades nod heads as Jeeg runs offscreen while Daimos grabs a fourth drone's club, then throws a roundhouse kick. Great Mazinger lands next to him, with Star and Dani flying down right next to it. Dani looks up to see a flurry of laser fire coming down towards them and summons an energy shield. As soon as the barrage stops, Dani lowers the shield, as Great and Star fire a Thunder Break and Magic Blast upward. Raideen lands behind them and slashes another drone in half with its God Breaker, while Daitarn fires a Sun Attack at a small group in front of it. An explosion from one of the blasts transitions to Earth's orbit, where Starscream (in jet mode) flies into frame and then careens out of the way of a large laser beam explodes behind him. Gundam Deathscythe Hell's eyes glow from inside of the smoke, opens its wings and flies forward, slashing at an opponent offscreen with its beam scythe. . . The short ends with Usagi standing in front of the portal, looking back towards the rest of her comrades heading towards her. She then turns towards the portal and crosses her arms triumphantly, with Gunbuster flying up behind her (arms crossed as well), as the camera pans out to show the entire cast, standing together, ready for anything to come through.

Synopsis
The short begins with a shot of inside of Tidal Wave's hanger bay, with the Zeta Gundam standing the closest to the screen, and the Mk-II & Hyaku Shiki standing beside it, much like their days during the Gryps War. Red warning lights flashing throughout the room. The Zeta steps forward and stops on the lift to the launch pad. It rises upward, the light from the red lights pans downward and sunlight outside pans down, as he tilts his head downward and his eyes light up orange, ready to fight. The lift stops at the top of Wave's runway, and clamps attach to Starscream's feet, sending him rocketing towards the end of the deck. As he races forward, Great Mazinger rushes next to him, with him responding with a smirk. Starscream and Great jump off of the launch pad, joining Lapis, Tom, Mazinger Z and Getter Robo G in the air.

The battle then transitions into space, with Starscream and Atros having a battle with a couple unseen foes as Tidal Wave appears from a portal behind them. . . The ZZ Gundam floats upward and fires it's High Mega Cannon, only to be blocked by Sunset's barrier.
