Bandung and Original Generations to be exact. Gosh, that Shinka Ialdabaoth made me wish I had a TV and PS2 in my room. Or at the very least, a properly working PCSX2. Folka Albark and his Ialdabaoth may come at the top of the list of my favorite mech with its over-the-top attack animations. Reminds me a lot of that beautiful DaiRaiOh and its Jinrai.
Reminds me of that final stage of Alpha 3, the best SRW I've ever played, and the most epic battle I've experienced in my lifetime of gaming. Not to mention it has the most impressive cast ever assembled. Mazinkaizer, Shin Getter, GaoGaiGar, Combattler and Voltes, SRX, Gunbuster, the entire generation of Macross casts, Gundams from 0078 to SEED... All in place for that one last big push to the end of the galaxy.
Perhaps the most memorable of that battle though, was the music. The song that was played by the Fire Bomber band from Macross 7 to reverse the tide, and raise the spirit when it seemed to fail.
It is GONG, by JAM Project.

Mune ni komi ageteku Atsuku Hageshii Kono omoi
Bokura wa iku Saigo no basho e
Te wo toriai Chikai atte
Asu wo yoake mae ni Ano sora e to tabitatsu no sa
Bokura ga koko ni ita koto dake Douka Oboete ite hoshii yo
Furi mukana Namida wo miseruna
I GOT THE POWER OF LOVE
Asu wo tori modosunda
Ima koso Tachiagare Sadame no senshi yo
Inazuma no tsurugi de Teki wo kechirase
Yasuragi wo yumemiru Hagane no yuusha yo
Mamoru beki mirai to ai wo shinjite
Towa e! Towa e!
Moshimo Chikara tsukite Toushi no yaiba kudaketemo
Bokura wa nidoto modoranai Tomo ni ginga no umi ni chirou
Osoreruna Hokori wo suteruna
I GET THE POWER OF LOVE
Saa Mayowazu Yukunda!
Ooshiku Mai odore Sadame no senshi yo
Konjiki no tsubasa de Ten ni habatake
Hikukoto wo shiranai Hagane no yuusha yo
Moetagiru SOURU no meizuru mama ni
Towa e! Towa e!
Ima koso Tachiagare Sadame no senshi yo
Inazuma no tsurugi de Teki wo kechirase
Yasuragi wo yumemiru Hagane no yuusha yo
Mamoru beki mirai to ai wo shinjite
Towa e! Towa e!
Translation
With our hearts gradually filled up with hot and intense emotions, we are going to the last battleground, hand in hand, with a common oath.
Before the dawn sets in tomorrow, we will begin our journey to the skies, to that universe. Please, do not forget that we were once part of Earth. That's our only wish.
We turn around, only to conceal our tears. I get the power of love, to gain back our future, our tomorrow.
Warriors of fate, It's now time to stand up. Use the sword of lightning to scatter your enemies. Heroes of steel, they dream of peace and tranquility. Believe in the future and love that you must protect.
To eternity! To eternity!
If we use up all our energy and strength, and if our blade which signifies our fighting spirit breaks; Even then, we will not turn back, and we shall perish together in the vastness of the galaxy.
We are afraid, and we throw away our pride, but I get the power of love. So, even when we are lost, we shall go forward.
Warriors of fate, you shall dance bravely. Use your golden wings, and fly to the skies. Heroes of steel, they do not have the word "retreat" in their minds. Continue to command with your burning soul of rage.
To eternity! To eternity!
Warriors of fate, It's now time to stand up. Use the sword of lightning to scatter your enemies. Heroes of steel, they dream of peace and tranquility. Believe in the future and love that you must protect.
To eternity! To eternity!
