Somehow this Orguss kinda lean heavily toward Shoji Kawamori style.
Funny you say that. Actually most (if not all) the variable fighters Kawamori has designed after the first VF-1 have a transformation sequence heavily influenced by the one from the original Orguss (mecha), which was itself originally designed by Miyatake Kazutaka, Kawamori's buddy at Studio Nue (who worked with him in the original Macross).
