Just like what happened to the original Gundam, give GS some time to shell out some reasonable theories on how things like that work. It takes time to think out logical bullshit explanation like Minovsky particles.


A wizard did it. No, really.

And you could say the same thing about battleships in CE too, if nuclear reactors can't be used, then what did they use to power HUEG ships like AA? Again, no official info about this.


For even moar plot devices, play SRW games. You can use Nu Gundam's fin funnel attack, or Sazabi's funnels on earth, or heck, even under the sea


You should go read Astray/Astray R manga. It's made of awesome, win and OMG RED FRAME RUNS OUT OF ENARGY CONSTANTLY AND HAS TO RESORT TO AWESOME WAYS TO KILL OPPONENTS!


Sometimes, if a mecha series is awesome, they don't really need to explain in great lengths about their technology. Kinda like the awesomeness that is GaoGaiGar. I have no idea how the hell EnRyu or ChoRyu can have a face that's made of metal, but is capable of performing human-like expressions. But that doesn't stop me from loving it.

And G Gundam, decent tech details? I'd love to know the exact details of Domon being capable of performing the love love attack thing with Rain, and how Master Asia could beat the crap out of a 18 metre tall robot with his KUNG FU FIST AND KICKS OMG D:


Yes. In a way, it's the new cool to hate popular shows thesedays. Though I must agree with you, in some ways. *grinds teeth at 12 year olds humping all over model kits of GS units, while talking nonstop on how great "FWEEDAM GANDAMN" is to his bunch of friends*

Even Mechwarrior isn't spared from being butchered down to become a fast paced action third person view game. The way all the mechs run in newer MW games (like the one for Xbox) is ridiculously fast/agile, it's not even funny. I miss the old MW3/4 days when all the mechs are actually portrayed as clunky piece of destructive robot that's hard to smoothly control.


No. It's superior. Everyone knows surprise entrance from rear = win and gold.

AoZ.

*just watched MS Igloo 2*

o_o..

Hildolfr is one badass tank. Coolest tank to ever exist in the whole Gundam universe, UC/AU combined. Everyone should watch it. NAO.

That is all.

You forgot another 2 normal normal tanks in addition to the 6 zakus.

And it's not just any ordinary tank, it's an awesome HUEG tank that's capable of running at 110km/h at max. Talk about logistical nightmares. Also one that can deploy into evil shit monoeye semi MS mode.

MS Igloo. A series of OVA based on Mobile Suit Gundam's sidestory, only much moar superior because it has 0 Gundams in it, and everything's rendered in 3D (though because their budget is limited, they didn't use any motion capture, and the 3D effects are rather mediocre by today's standards). Story focuses on Zeon testing out their new prototype weapons.

It makes sense, in a way, for Zeon to not deploy/reproduce more Hildolfr(s). Everyone's putting their money on beam weaponry technology somewhere during that time, and once they've got beam weaponry, they can tear through anything regardless of how thick the armor is (Holdolfr wouldn't have survived those direct shots from the Zakus if they used beam rifles). So it makes sense for Zeon to start abandoning producing more units that solely relies on physical canons and pour the money they would spend on beam weaponry research, instead.

Besides, I'd imagine Hildolfr being a real ass in the pain to mass produce. What with the transportation problems (it's too big, too heavy to cross bridges, gets stuck easily), and the transformation. Also, it's dead once it gets into close quarter combat situations. A zaku is better, since you could slap it a bazooka/leg rockets, and it became a long range support like Hildolfr, slap it a heat hawk as optional, and it can do well in short range combat, give it a 120mm machine gun, and it becomes mediocre in all range.

Y hello thar, master of the obvious.

Posting SuiginFreedom in a dead thread

There's nothing much to understand in MS Igloo anyway.

It's generally about Zeon using their old/outdated units to test during the One Year War event (because they're running out of resources, and they have to make use of every damned piece of scrap metal they ignored) . Nothing more.

I have no idea what you're talking about? ¯\( ¯A¯)/¯

If you're referring to recent series, that's only true for SEED. In GSD, only Kira/ ebil emperess Lacus are correct. Everyone else are devil worshippers who deserves to die.

But at least the end of SEED was done nicely (although Kira should've died in the end, instead of having infinite plot armor preventing him from dying from a nuke explosion), unless the "PERFECT VIKTOLY!!!" thing in GSD's ending.
