Well, UC is still pretty much alive, at least in terms of gunpla.

I think the reason why Sunrise doesn't want to create UC anime is because the market is simply not there anymore. The only new UC storyline is Unicorn and their plan for that is in novel form to attract the old UC fans which are probably in their late 20s and early 30s. Anime is more geared towards teens nowadays, hence all the bling bling in GSD and 00.

I'd love to see a Unicorn anime, but if animes nowadays must follow the bling trend, I'd rather Unicorn remain in novel form.

That kid is Usso hehe...

I asked about the absence of Bernie in that pic, and redeye replied that Bernie's not a gundam pilot that's why he's not in mah.... hehe

Very hard

I've only managed to convert one kawan into UC after telling him about the UC origins and storylines... but he's already exposed to UC before as he watched F91 as a kid... Other mecha-loving kawans all love bang-bang action like GSD and 00

Anyway, more Unicorn info !!

Jegan got some upgrades...
Behold, Stark Jegan !!


A bit cluttered, but still not as exaggerated as some CE designs... Doesn't it resemble the F90's backpacks? The round barrels look like Chaos' remote gunpods.


Astray stuff... new masked dude, or is it a girl? Meh... anorexic stick figure YUCK.

Reading between the lines, here goes:

1. There's an aquatic unit, most likely to be Neo Zeon's. Probably something along the lines of a Z'Gok.

2. New GM equivalent... is that the Stark Jegan?

3. Giant 4 legged GM.... Oh oh, guys, remember Gells-Ghe in Lohengrin gate episode of GSD?

4. The mentioning of Amuro Ray... I still believe he's dead and prefer him to stay DEAD. If he is revived in Unicorn, then Full Frontal is surely going to be Char. Please... let the old dudes die. No Kira-style hogging the limelight please, give Barnage the chance to shine.

5. Finally, an antagonist MG to accompany the Unicorn... I say Sinanju.

ZAFT calls their mecha Gundams because it has the G.U.N.D.A.M. operating system. In fact, almost all mecha in the CE universe has this acronym for the OS as an excuse to call themselves Gundam.

December 2008 most likely, just like MG Unicorn.

Oh yeah... Stark Jegan. The pods on the shoulders ain't remote controlled weapons, they are large missile launchers.


OMFG. Meteor with legs... damn it give it some cannons. I'll seriously LOL if the whole backpack is just a gigantic beam sabre with no projectile weapons.


Name the ships
Damn Dogose Gier is HUGE !!
No one beats the 2000m Jupitris though.

Eh? thread dead again?


Kamen Gundam, ikimasu !!

Just found something shocking.
http://mahq.net/mecha/gundam/ggspirits/rx-78nt-x.htm

Alfred? Gundam pilot !! He should be piloting a Zaku instead !!

Don't worry, it's just a video game which should be non-canon.

People, read the mahq link
They're wired guided weapons.

Anyway, take that with a touch of salt. Video games are notorious for random non-canon stuff.

OMFG please people, stop the hentai incesturu crap.


Yes it is.

Haman decides to go kawaii !!

First time watching new Gundam series toy advertisements?
Don't forget the nightmare called Seed Destiny.

Will we ever get to see the 00 Gundams getting pwned by those governments? And by that I mean seriously, totally wrecked like how OZ did to Deathscythe and Shenlong. No cheating reinforcements that drop down from the sky please.

Now go watch UC before you post again. Who's acting like god? Kira or Char?

My daddy's car is larger than yours.

No, my daddy's house is bigger than yours.



I've always posted with facts and welcome any discussion, be it UC or AU as long as it's Gundam related.

I don't see any reason NOT to bring in UC characters, or even AUs like GW, GX etc for comparison with 00 as long as we support it with facts. It's like talking cars eg talking about Toyota and forbidding people to talk about various models of Toyota.

While I get your point about fanboyism, you should understand that which set of fans, traditional ones or newly CE/00 converts, that always post oneliners or your so called fanboyist posts. I don't mind people posting stuff like "I like (insert name)" but at least state the reason and some further elaboration.

Until new Gundam fans post this way, I don't think traditional fans would stop the bashing.

And you DO know that this will continue to happen as those "new" fans will post meaningless crap, so why bother?

I might be wrong, but it seems sometimes you do get worked up by the so called bashing of 00 because you do like that series.

We do have good 00 discussions by those who watch it, it's just that a lot of traditional UC fans can't accept it that's why the discussions don't expand into a big scale. Traditional fans do have more Gundam knowledge for lengthy discusssions because they truly appreciate the entire Gundam/UC universe, not that I'm boasting, but it's true in most forums.

To have a good 00 discussion, those here who are watching it must take the initiative to do so.
There are so much to talk about in that series, like the mecha designs, character development and background, storyline and plot, settings, or if anyone is interested, the entire cinematography and choreography of the anime.

I don't watch 00, so I ain't gonna start. Let's hope someone does.

If irony was a girl, I'd kiss and marry her. Seriously.

OMFG by saying /m/ is a place for serious discussion is like saying George Bush and Osama are angels and deserve to become archangels in heaven. You haven't seen those real meaningless shit that's flooding /m/, have you?

As for the 00 bashing... if anyone can't take it please leave... I do like GW and it gets bashed a lot, but try me and I'll give you a whole page thesis on GW analysis till you can't retaliate.

Now do the same with 00 and it'll stop the bashers. No one, be it UC elitist or AU enthusiasts can refute a thoroughly analysed write up.
One liners? fanboyism posts? Feel the wrath.

Thank you dear wufei for attempting to start some decent discussion about 00. Those who are watching 00 please join in with constructive posts OK?
Anyone coming in with oneliners will be replied with bashing

About the combining weapons of the Thrones, my guess is that it'll probably be something like the Buster's guns. Different configurations might result in different beams, maybe one with sniper like capability and the other might be a WMD like damage i.e. GX's satellite cannon.

If it combines into a gigantic 100m beam sword then I'll seriously LOL.

Beware of gayness.


purupurupurupurupurupurupurupurupurupurupurupurupurupurupurupurupurupurupurupurupurupurupurupuru !!!



Don't forget Matilda Cruz who pilots Kshatriya is also a purupurupurupurupuru clone !!

Look... no hands !!
And loli pilots?




Attached thumbnail(s)

That's why grunts such as Norris, Lt Burning, Kelly, and even Apolly are much respected.

360 degree panoramic cockpits are pretty much standard equipment after 0083. Even grunts have them in Gundam Z. Of course, this is UC and not AD hehe...

Yet they are not perfect as shown in GZ when Kamille got the newtype hint from Sarah and shot the Gaplant from beneath it. Yeah, you can't see below your chair, right?

The "best" cockpit is still Zero System as it directly feeds information into the pilot's brain and even predicts the moves and outcomes of the enemy. That is, if you don't get corrupted with fear hence acting like a maniac like how Quatre did.

This post has been edited by StarGhazzer: Feb 5 2008, 09:58 AM

The Zeta has it, although it doesn't look like a sphere like the MKII or even the Hizacks. The MKII has the panoramic cockpit, the Zeta can't possibly have something more inferior.

http://mahq.net/mecha/gundam/z/msz-006.htm


The blind spots are the places where the seat is blocking the view, i.e. beneath the pilot and the place where the seat is attached to the spherical cockpit. Apart from those spots mentioned above, virtually all directions are visible.

Gundam W.

From what I know, the Zero System predicts the enemies' intentions and portrays to the pilot about the consequences, hence forcing the pilot to take an action. Pilots who are not mentally strong enough will end up indulged in the fear of dying/losing and hence make rash decisions which often result in maniacal attacks or collateral damage. Heero and Miliardo were strong enough not to be influenced by the Zero System and hence were able to "predict" their enemies' attacks and hit them before they do.

The "360 degree" cockpit is not a full 360 view. NONE of the gundams have a true 360 degree view if we wish to be stoic in our definition of 360 degree. In fact, the spec sheet of all Gundams say they have a "linear" cockpit, even the GP03 which is supposed to have the first "panoramic" view uses the "linear cockpit" nomenclature.

Linear? Panoramic? It's just a name.

My bad for calling the panoramic cockpit a "360 degree panoramic cockpit" back in my earlier post... It's misguiding, I know. But I did mention the blindspot

Let's take a look at the MG MKII Titans manual, where Kamille is sitting in the cockpit. It proves that the top and bottom parts are visible, the only blocked area is the part where the handle of the chair extends out plus a small strip there. It's pretty much a full spherical view although not truly 360 degrees.

Obviously you can see the top and bottom except the aforementioned blind spots.

Speaking of which, this reminds me of F91 where it's shown that the cockpit is 360 degrees visible apart from the parts where the chair is attached. In the movie it shows clearly that the monitors are arranged in a spherical manner, note the part where Seabook carries his injured dad behind his seat.


The thing is, does Victory era suits have a panoramic cockpit? My memory's fuzzy now, but I think Victory's narrow cockpit is more similar to a fighter jet than the usual spherical pods shown in GZ and CCA.

Good discussion... let's find more technical stuff to talk about
Here's a Char
