As one or two of Josh's posts have hinted at, the Ganador and Strega can combine together to form a giant wrecking machine of a Super Robot: the mighty Forte Gigas! It can be piloted solo, but like any good combiner its true strength is brought out by having two pilots. This isn't just for sappy, sentimental reasons; Forte Gigas has two Res Arcana generators to power with negative emotions and one person can only provide power for one.
At any rate, Forte Gigas is very much a straightforward, close range wrecking machine. It's sufficiently armored (shut up, SRW D armor levels!), very mobile to the point of projecting double images even at its height of 51 meters, and even able to separate into its component machines on the fly for a pincer attack.
The machine's primary weapons are the Ultimate Lancers that the Ganador would make use of... except only sorta. Forte Gigas can make use of a new mode for them called Storm Blades, using them like powerful beam sabers in various formations.
The first is the Moon Circle, where two Storm Blades are joined together like a double-sided spear/naginata and then typically thrown straight at the enemy like a buzz saw of justice. As since they're all still the bits controlled by Josh's visualizations of how they should move, they can loop back around and return to Forte Gigas.
The Storm Blades can also be used individually as conventional swords or joined together in a double-sided lightsaber configuration, and lastly as the powerful Riot Buster formation, wherein the two swords are joined together and used as one. Putting them together results in the blade's size growing to ridiculous proportions (obviously jealous of the Geant's own gigantic beam saber) and it's considered Forte Gigas's most powerful attack in its appearances.
Losing the swords is less of an issue than it is for most Supers since, as mentioned before, it's just using Ganador's Ultimate Lancer bits and there's a large supply of those.
For more long-ranged combat Forte Gigas makes use of its powerful built-in chest cannon, the Giga Blaster. It has a MAP variant too, just to make it clear how widespread the zone of death in front of it can get thanks to the weapon. Unseen in 2nd OG (though present in SRW D) was the Beam Hammer, a short-to-medium range configuration of a Storm Blade which produces not an energy sword, but a tether and mace head formed of pure energy.
Very, very much an endgame unit. Not only for its canon SRW appearances, but UG@ as well.
