The characters listed below are usually compared to this mecha:
- Blastoise (Pocket Monsters) - its cannons on its back.
- Yasaka Kanako (Touhou Project) - because of her red outfit and the way her Faith Pillars resemble the Guncannon's cannons when mounted on her shoulders
- Shigure (Combined Fleet Girls Collection) - due to placing her cannons on her back, over her shoulders
