Can we have a Vandread mecha thread, please?

Can we have a Vandread mecha thread, please? Finding much info on these guys, their ships, and harvesters has not been easy to come across.

      Come now anon it'd help cut down on research time. Lots of information can be lost to the sands of time if they're not recorded.

    I wish GSC would make some Moderoid kits outta them. I'd buy them all. Vandread was the first anime I watched all the way through and it's kinda what got me into mecha

      Thanks for sharing, this helps a lot anon! May have to go to /wsr/ for some translations later, but this will lead to something useful.

    Kind of surprised various dreads and vandreads don't have their armaments listed anywhere.

      I know Wikia anon wants to make an article for it on the /m/ Wikia. I support him, he catches obscure knowledge.

    -Dreadnought (ドレッドノート)
    -Nirvana (ニル・ヴァーナ)

    -Vandread Dita (Blue Giant)/ヴァンドレッド・ディータ(蒼い巨人)
    -Vandread Meia (White Wings)/ヴァンドレッド・メイア(白い翼)
    -Vandread Jura (Red Claws)/ヴァンドレッド・ジュラ(紅い爪)
    -Type 101 Barbarian Bomber (百一式蛮型撲撃機)
    -Nirvana Jam (ニル・ヴァーナ・ジャム)
    -Super Vandread High Speed Form(スーパーヴァンドレッド高速形態
    -Special Dreadnought Dita 2 (スペシャルドレッドノート・ディータ2)
    -Special Dreadnought Meia 2 (スペシャルドレッドノート・メイア2)

      Sorry, meant to say blocked, not banned. Haven't made a topic there in a long time. I can still make topics here though, oddly.

      So I asked /jp/ if they had any lending hands and since this was a scan I could take it to a yandex site called OCR. I did that to the scan, despite some shit quality I was able to get a lot out of it.

      https://translate.yandex.com/ocr

      Okay so, Harvester/Reaper round up we have:

      -Workers (harpoon handed ones)
      -Cubes (self explanatory)
      -Giant Battleship (basic motherships)
      -Super Giant Field Attack Ship (big cannon suckers)
      -Arachnoids (orange 4 legged ones with two white claws each)
      -Sea Urchin Types (obvious)
      -Tree Types (lance-like silver and orange)
      -Lily Types (red stingrays)
      -Reaping Mecha (eight legged roaches)
      -Sand Cubes (Tachiguma from Stand Alone Complex)
      -Containers (long fish)
      -False Vandreads ('nough said)

        Other translations on space ships give me:

        -Super Giant Battleship Mutarak (main ships from Tarak); going to assume the mentioned Ikazuchi is the flagship
        -Megere Ships (no name really?)
        -Melanus Ships (again no name)
        -Rabat's Ship (eh)
        -Utan's weapons include the cannon on its back... The rest is translated weird but based on the pic I am assuming each arm has a 6-tube missile launcher (translated as box) and a pair of laser vulcan guns on each arm and two... It didn't translate well, it has a pair of something else.
