After all, it’s pretty much a combination of all my favorite things: mechas, bright colors, futuristic weaponry, and intergalactic warfare. Oh, and these skins also make you feel like a member of Voltron (or Team Gurren, for all the weebs out there). Whether you want to live out your mecha-wielding dreams, or simply blast your enemies to death with lasers, there’s sure to be a skin below that suits your tastes.
9. Super Galaxy Shyvana
Released: May 25th, 2016 Price: 1350 RP This skin is a total disaster. The character model looks nothing like Shyvana and is packed with obtrusive colors that clash horribly. Even if you manage to look past this — which I certainly can’t — Super Galaxy Shyvana doesn’t offer much. The animations, while new, are lackluster and bland. I know I’m on a hate-fueled rant, but I really can’t stand this skin. It’s a total disrespect to Shyvana mains everywhere, and while I’m sure there are players who absolutely love this skin, I refuse to bow down to Rito and give it any love. And if you’re wondering, no. The splash art does not look any better than the character model. The dragon mecha form is the only redeeming feature of this skin.
8. Super Galaxy Fizz
Released: May 25th, 2016 Price: 1350 RP Super Galaxy Fizz is an interesting take — it’s basically Fizz stuffed into a shark mecha suit. While I appreciate the originality, the skin is pretty underwhelming. The mecha suit is bland and reminds me more of a dinosaur than a shark. The flippers also just… give the entire character model a derpy feel. With that said, the futuristic trident weapon looks badass and the recall is pretty awesome. Plus, the skin’s animations are super fun and playful. The ultimate is also a giant robotic shark, which is something I think we all can get behind.
7. Neon Strike Vi
Released: December 19th, 2012 Price: 975 RP Neon Strike Vi is the OG Super Galaxy skin. And despite being nearly 10 years old, it’s still a surprisingly decent skin. It’s bright, colorful, and thanks to the iconic yellow jumpsuit and pink shades, has a groovy vibe that I just can’t help but fall in love with. There’s also lots of adorable touches, like the fact that Vi now has bears on her gauntlets. You also get a fabulous recall animation that pretty much transports you to a 80’s disco. Although this skin is good value overall, I do have a few minor gripes with it. The sci-fi theme is a little too subtle for my liking, and the splash art isn’t the most eyecatching out there. All in all though? This skin is definitely worth the buck.
6. Super Galaxy Nidalee
Released: October 16th, 2017 Price: 1350 RP This skin pretty much transforms Nidalee into a punk mecha pilot, and I’m here for it. Plus that spear is one of the coolest weapon designs Riot has ever produced. Sure, it’s simple. But the holographic blue circles work so well together with the gold. And when she throws out the spear? It lights up brighter than Lux’s ultimate. Now I do have to admit that while gorgeous, the brightness isn’t exactly practical. The spear is insanely easy to see, so it kind of gives your enemies a one up in the skill-dodging department. But if you’re not a ranked solo/duo player? This skin still has plenty to offer. The animations are clean, slick, and paired with satisfying sound effects. The recall also makes Nidalee look like she’s auditioning for an anime opening. Oh, and when Nidalee is in cougar form? She literally transforms into the blue lion mecha from Voltron.
5. Super Galaxy Kindred
Released: May 25th, 2016 Price: 1350 RP While Super Galaxy Kindred isn’t as OTT with the intergalactic vibe as other skins in this line — ya know, lasers, mecha suits, and holographic touches — it’s still got a futuristic, high-tech feel. The outfit looks sleek, the colors complement Kindred beautifully, and the space bow looks absolutely badass. Plus, Wolf has got an insane glow up; the colors and design are fire. And to be honest he kind of reminds me of a rocket ship from Space Invaders, only with a lil more wolf inspiration thrown into the mix. The animations are also breathtaking. Every attack transports you to outer space, with your ult summoning up a spacey force field. My only complaint? The recall is pretty lackluster.
4. Super Galaxy Elise
Released: October 16th, 2017 Price: 1350 RP This skin makes Elise the most badass (and stylish) villain out there. The splash art shows off her killer personality and has plenty of sci-fi inspo to keep your heart fulfilled. And in game? The character model looks like it came straight out of Evangelion, with a dystopian feel, mecha pilot suit, and anime hairstyle. What really sets this skin apart though is the mecha spider form – it’s genuinely the stuff of nightmares, an intergalactic beast ready to conquer planet after planet. So yeah, don’t get this skin if you have a phobia of spiders. Especially the space, planet-devouring type. Jokes aside, this skin feels just as great as it looks. That recall is fanservice galore and the attack animations are excellent, as are the sound efffects.
3. Super Galaxy Gnar
Released: October 16th, 2017 Price: 1350 RP Super Galaxy Gnar is pure, mecha perfection. Everything about the skin just makes you want to dedicate your entire life to maining Gnar. In Mini Gnar form, the character model is more adorable than a Poro, and gives off total Rocket Raccoon vibes. And in Mega Gnar form? You literally become the most badass, sleek-looking mecha animal out there. Both forms have hilarious recalls, swanky sound effects, and top-tier animations — you even get to throw UFOs and space guns at your enemies. The splash art is also lush.
2. Super Galaxy Annie
Released: October 16th, 2017 Price: 1350 RP Super Galaxy Annie is a visual treat. While the character model is relatively simple, it’s insanely polished and makes Annie look like she came straight out of a mecha anime. There’s also plenty of neat touches that add an intergalactic flair, from the two holographic control panels on Annie’s arms, to her bright neon pink hairstyle. The animations are just as satisfying. You get to shoot out laser beams powered by otherworldly tech, and the stun is a total showstopper (and yes, it’s a showstopper in more ways than one). Plus the E is an intergalactic force shield. What really makes this skin out of this world though? It’s good ol’ Tibbers. He’s now a stylish pink mecha. The design is sleek, packed with Gundam inspo, and truly transforms the Rift into a sci-fi battle scene.
1. Super Galaxy Rumble
Released: April 2nd, 2014 Price: 1820 RP This skin is nearly a decade old, but it’s still a firm favorite among Rumble mains. And for good reason: it truly levels up Rumble in every way while letting you live out your dream career as a mecha pilot. It’s also packed with plenty of references to Gurren Lagann. I mean, Rumble even wields a Giga drill. Plus each ability truly makes you feel ultra powerful; your Q burns through your enemies’ screens, while the ultimate literally cracks the map. Now, despite this skin’s iconic status among Rumble mains, I do have to point out that the recall and emotes are definitely subpar when compared to newly-released Legendary skins. But this skin does make up for this with its insane voice lines. They’re jampacked with jokes, badass sayings, and of course, mecha goodness.
