Is there a way to get the starting units again?

[Ne0n]

Out of curiosity, is it possible to get the units you start out with (Phoenix Zero, Tornado Gundam, etc) again if they get destroyed? They're not on the production list or any of the dispatches.

If you develop specific units backwards, you can get the Phoenix Zero and Tornado Gundam again. You can also use the Design feature to obtain them, I believe, so check your options - if you go to the Gallery, you can check how to obtain each unit and character in the game, so you can use that as a guide.

Design any tank unit with a Phoenix Gundam to get Tornado. Actually there seems to exist a tremendous amount of Design combinations for Tornado. Just mix something with any Phoenix version.

Designing backwards by choosinf the first development option is also possible. This list should help you:

You can't get the Tornado or Phoenix gundams from development once you've left their main tech trees. They also don't let you go backwards in their own tech tree. It's very easy to lock yourself out of getting the Tornado/Phoenix Gundam line for Production and Development.

However you can get them through the Design feature no matter what. In fact that is the only way to unlock the Tornado Gundam.

Ah, that's fair... I did forget that. Each of those units only develops into the next version, or three branching paths to give you an entry point into that universe's units.

Really has been a while since I've needed to look at their development branches, huh...

You can get Tornado from a dispatch mission (mock battle) and then develop it into Phoenix.
