Something I noticed about the Neo Magnum.

    So, i am wondering. Are the names of the Neo Magnum line references to Gundam?

    1. Neo Magnum. I don't notice anything special here.

    2. Neo Magnum-E78. Hm. A possible reference to RX-79[G]Ez-8 Gundam Ez8? The numbers will also play into the next one.

    3. Neo Magnum-RX. It you take the RX from this one, and the 78 from the last one, you get RX78. A possible reference to the RX-78-2 Gundam.

    4. Neo Magnum-ZZZ. Well, we have the MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam, and the MSZ-010 ZZ Gundam(the ZZ is pronounced Double Zeta), so I suppose the name of this one is making a joke about a possible Triple Zeta Gundam?

    But eh, this is just my guess.

    Edit: For one reason or another, half my post was in bold. That should be fixed now.

    I have next to no familiarity with Gundam - I watched War in the Pocket a while back, and am halfway through Unicorn - but I wouldn't put it past the devs. There's references to everything from Mystery Science Theatre 3000 to Deus Ex in the game. Gundum is popular enough to conceivably get a nod.
