| - Rounders (Irish: cluiche corr) is a sport played between two teams, each alternating between batting and fielding. The game originates in England most likely from an older game known as stool ball. The first nationally formalised rules were drawn up by the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) in Ireland in 1884. The game is regulated by the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) in Ireland and the National Rounders Association (NRA) in Great Britain. Both have different, although similar, game-play and culture. Competitions are held between teams from both traditions with games alternating between codes, often one version being played in the morning and the other in the afternoon.
- The Rounders are a fictional team of mercenaries that appear in Steins;Gate, and act as the series' secondary antagonists. While they are, at first, believed to be working for SERN, it is soon revealed that Rounders work for an organization independent from SERN. Unlike SERN, who carries out the actual research, the Rounders operate in the shadows, carrying out tasks such as assassination in SERN's stead. The Rounders receive orders from FB. Moeka is revealed in episode 12 to be the leader of their assault/retrieval team for the time machine.

| - The Rounders are a fictional team of mercenaries that appear in Steins;Gate, and act as the series' secondary antagonists. While they are, at first, believed to be working for SERN, it is soon revealed that Rounders work for an organization independent from SERN. Unlike SERN, who carries out the actual research, the Rounders operate in the shadows, carrying out tasks such as assassination in SERN's stead. The Rounders receive orders from FB. Moeka is revealed in episode 12 to be the leader of their assault/retrieval team for the time machine. Despite their appearance, the Rounders are well-trained professionals, having the ability to infiltrate and overwhelm Akihabara in a matter of hours. Their professionalism is shown through many different ways, most notable of which being their ability to prevent entry to and exit from Akihabara via an unofficial vehicle search and a bomb threat, and following Okabe and rendering him unconscious without being noticed until the very last moment. FB declares in episode 20 that he "rounded" up the Rounders (who in turn "round" up the lab members) by psychologically profiling shut-ins in the region as potential members: individuals who are so detached from society that he could easily manipulate them according to their emotional needs to work for him. (Shut-ins are a known real-life phenomenon in Japan known as hikikomori .) It is unknown if FB or someone else provided their armament, but either way, their emotional coldness and anti-social personality may be a hint towards their capacity to obediently follow orders with absolute ruthlessness and efficiency.
- Rounders (Irish: cluiche corr) is a sport played between two teams, each alternating between batting and fielding. The game originates in England most likely from an older game known as stool ball. The first nationally formalised rules were drawn up by the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) in Ireland in 1884. The game is regulated by the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) in Ireland and the National Rounders Association (NRA) in Great Britain. Both have different, although similar, game-play and culture. Competitions are held between teams from both traditions with games alternating between codes, often one version being played in the morning and the other in the afternoon. Game-play centers around innings where teams alternate at batting and fielding. A maximum of nine players are allowed to field at one time. Points ("rounders") are scored by the batting team by completing a circuit around the field through four bases or posts without being put 'out'. The earliest nationally formalised rules of play were devised by the GAA in Ireland in 1884. In 1889, associations were formed in Liverpool and Scotland. The NRA was not formed until 1943. Baseball (both the "New York game" and the now-defunct "Massachusetts game") as well as softball are likely to share the same historical roots as rounders (see origins of baseball) and bears a resemblance to the GAA version of the game. Rounders is linked to British Baseball, still played in Liverpool, Cardiff and Newport. Although rounders is assumed to be older than baseball, literary mentions of "base-ball" pre-date those of rounders. Rounders is now played from school-level to international.
- Mr. Seeker 16:49, February 26, 2011 (UTC) Main Weapon: Hybrid Rifle Sub Weapon: Hyper Booster B.O.S.S.: Tenka Dai Ittoh A combat rounder developed by Tsunami in the past for military use. Most of them have been retired with many being sold in used markets. The Azureus piloted by Karel is able to equip heavy weaponry and has been modded to include boosters and other power enhancements. It's B.O.S.S., "Tenka Dai Ittoh", is a highly destructive attack befitting its heavy industrial base. Main Weapon: Hand Machine Gun Sub Weapon: Homing Missile B.O.S.S.: Last Arbiter A combat Rounder created for ground based battles by Rendares it is the only "Due" in the "Ventuno Series". Although equipped with simple weapons, their ease of use have made it a highly trusted combat vehicle. Although the "Ventuno Due" is equppied with "Reactive Bombs" that automatically respond to quick moving heat sources and explode when they draw near, Mika prefers to turn the heat sensors off and rely on his extraordinary abilities instead. Main Weapon: Punch Barrier Unit Sub Weapon: Tail Bomb B.O.S.S.: Orbital Sword The "Orangette" is famous as a sports type among Goddiver's "Sweet Arms" series, and its quick movement abilities are often used in sprints, baseball, and other competitions. Many of these units are used in civilian police G.S.O. to take advantag of those abilities. However, its B.O.S.S. "Orbital Sword" is a Goddiver prototype that only members of the 4th Security Unit (Sakurako's team) are allowed to use. Main Weapon: Duet Shot Sub Weapon: Ensemble Laser B.O.S.S.: Curtain Call An experimental Opera machine piloted by Ernula. Its movement is limited, but its weaponry makes up for it. By placing its option unit "Consonance" in the air, it can use it to reflect its Ensemble Laser toward its target. Its B.O.S.S. possesses high attack power, but exposes its front armor's weak point. Main Weapon: Monomuzzle Vulcan Sub Weapon: Burst Ball B.O.S.S.: Gravity Flier A sports type Rounder made by Motivalier that is often used in races. Also the model used by Fabian in "Rounder Races" during his student days. Naturally it has been customized for S.S.S. purposes, but its size has not changed much even with the additional armor and weaponry. That is because it has been designed in accordance with Fabian's wish that its "agility", this model's primary asset, not be reduced. Main Weapon: Scimitar Gun Sub Weapon: Homing Laser B.O.S.S.: Cubskirt The non-civilian version of Goddiver's hit series "Sweet Arms". Formerly developed by Goddiver for military purposes, it ended up not being used by the army and found its way to G.S.O. instead. The Citronette piloted by Changpo has been vastly improved for close-range combat thanks to its prototype gunsword "Scimitar Gun". Together with the Homing Laser, which can stop an enemy dead in their tracks, it's an extremely capable and balanced machine. Main Weapon: Poschet Launcher Sub Weapon: Twin Tail B.O.S.S.: Madam Butterfly A custom-made Rounder from Motivalier's all-purpose Brinstar line. A military laboratory ordered it for Lili, and everything from its equppied weapons to the unit's controls have been made so that Lili is the only one who can use them. It's an extremely delicate machine, and is weak against impact and physical (i.e. melee) attacks. Main Weapon: Assault Machine Gun Sub Weapon: Tractor Mine B.O.S.S.: Butcher Bird A Tsunami made military Rounder, it turned out to be the last of their new models. Its primary feature is its ability to act independently for a long time, thanks to its advanced cruising capabilities. It was primarily used by the army not for combat, but for spying and secret missions. By equipping it with a flight booster, its existing abilities can be extended even further.
