Asuna cluster bomb coming up...




Who needs sissy looking pilots when a REAL female pilot looks so good?

We've all seen kitbashes of the Delta Gundam, which is basically the Hyaku Shiki complete with transformation capabilities. Previously it was just a undercover unit with not much information about it, but it seems that Bandai has decided to make it official by putting it into Unicorn !!

Not much is revealed just yet, but I think that the transformation would be similar to Zeta.


Delta plus... Think Zeta A1/C1 Plus.

Who cares whether she's loli or not? As long as she looks cute

Loli = win

Anyway... more LOL from Astray... Violet? On an already sissy looking unit? Check out the custom DSSD. Green Frame... nothing special, just a recolor. I can't help but wonder how many Astrays did Orb build (and got stolen ). So much for a peaceful neutral country. We'll probably get Orange Frame very soon...

^ 00's becoming more and more like GW...

Anyway... here's some more info about Unicorn's Delta Plus.
http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/gundam_efsf/article?mid=512&new=1

Check the link I've posted above... The Delta Plus will be some sort of additional reinforcements for the Nahal Argama, while the actual bling bling Delta is just the inspiration for the DPLus... probably won't make it into Unicorn.

Unless, Char returns to pilot bling bling once more.... erm, no... Char is piloting Sinanju... wait... that's Full Frontal... no, Char... no... I don't know

I will seriously puke if that occurs. Stop the blasphemy of Hyaku Shiki please.

Akatsuki is a disgrace to Gundam.... DUH.

The main thing wrong with Akatsuki is how it was portrayed, and in fact it gave the feeling that it was not planned at all in the series. The inclusion of that unit was pretty abrupt, as if it was there just to represent the Hyaku, given that GSD is supposed to be a homage to Zeta.

Figure this... The Akatsuki was already being built since Uzumi's days, meaning the technology itself is at least 2 years old. 2 year old technology pwning everyone else's beams? Ppppfffhhhhh.... It's understandable that the technology might be too expensive to be put into mass production, but surely something like this should have been implemented in certain ways probably in their grunt suits, or the very least coat their shields with it.

And of course, the inconsistency in the portrayal of the reflective armour simply brings WTF. The armour is able to block all sorts of beams, including a positron cannon FFS, yet a simple beam boomerang is able to chop it. Dragoons? Gimmick gimmick gimmick... 4 puny funnels generating a shield strong enough to enclose the entire Archangel and block positrons? Pppffffhhh... Even the Nu's I-field got busted by Alpha Azeiru's scattering megacannon.

Hyaku is one hell of a shiny suit just to taunt the Titans... nothing more. Quebeley and The O thrashed it with much ease. Even the UFO Asshimar gave it and the MKII much problems to deal with.

NO. Seriously.

U R ZE WIN!!!!

Anyway...


Well well, looks like the Kshatriya pwned all the Jegans and ReZeLs...

Delta Plus seems damn powerful, maybe like a Zeta without the biosensor.

Angelo.. please don't let it be a trap. If Angelo is going to have bewitching beauty, let it be a GIRL please....

Watch Mwu in action. As mentioned before, blocking positron cannons with the bling-blings put the final nail into the coffin. If anything, it could probably block Gato's nuke as well. Or Zeus' lightning.

It's not CE's fault. In fact, CE has some good ideas implemented esp in Seed. GSD on the other hand deserves no advocating.

And the last part... well, Kira's the hero, of course he needs to pwn everybody... no one can cook as well as him, no one can steal gfs as well as him, no one can paint and sing and dance as well as him. Everybody needs to be inferior in front of him.

If Angelo is a girl, why not? The portrait looks like a girl, the name sounds like girl... oh yeah, same thing happened before with Tieira...

Nah... she will be a girl. This is UC.

Just in case anyone forgot about the kickass Zulus... The purple custom suit belongs to Angelo. Much better than Eric Cartman Virtue...

I agree that spare parts seem to come too easily in animes and this is not limited only to Gundam.

In Zeta there seems to be an abundance of peripheral parts like weapons and shields as they seem to get destroyed quite often. Limbs wise, well, Emma's MKII ran out of parts towards the end and in the final battle she had to sortie without a left arm. The shield was merely fixed on the remaining stump of the broken left arm.

In V, Usso used to throw damaged parts at the enemy so I guess they must have quite a big supply of chest/leg flyers. However it seems that they only have one single core fighter; otherwise they would have assembled more Victory types to use. Towards the second half of the show when Victory was mass produced as Hexa, the parts were probably interchangable as everyone in the Shrike team piloted Hexas. V2 on the other hand should have at least 2 core fighters, but Oliver idiotically smashed one into the giant tyre leaving Usso with the remaining one (therefore only one V2 was shown in action).

I guess Minvera had the same problem. Lots of spare chest/leg flyers, but only one core fighter hence only one Impulse Gundam. Don't ask why they didn't build more core fighters... Gundams in CE are not supposed to be mass produced.

In 0083 we see the Albion restocking at different ports such as La Vien Rose and Von Braun, which were both owned by Anaheim. If you have cash, AE would give you anything. So there you go, spare parts.

08th MS team... haha... GM head... but I think in ZZ Zeta was replaced with a Zaku head as well, not sure about that since I've never watched ZZ. EZ8 seems to be repaired with spare parts, but the spare parts were actually good additions. The V-fin was replaced by a larger communication antenna. And oh yeah, red eyes seem more fierce than the usual green eyes.

Gundam X... Geesh... almost everyone was a scavenger and traded spare parts in the market... so no shortage whatsoever.

Picture bomb...

watch more UC

Well personally I prefer old school graphics Maybe not as old as the original 0079 (I don't think I'll mind that if I get the chance to watch it anyway), but 1985 should have quite impressive graphics. After all, the animes that we watched when we were small are probably made in the 80s and early 90s.

Whoever complained about the cheesy graphics of Doraemon? Even this 1982 anime (dunno what's the english name, Chinese name is 妙手小厨师) looked magnificent.

I too started watching GW quite some time ago... probably when I was 15 I suppose. Back then I was like WHOA... ZOMFG R0B0TS FTW !! And I really hated the endless pep talk back then and wished that every episode was filled with action. It was until 2 years ago when I rewatched GW after getting more exposure to the philosophies of the Gundam world that I finally appreciated the messages that GW brought out.

Let's see:

1. The Operation Meteor was a rebellion from the space colonies towards the Earth Federation forces and their special army OZ. It's not exactly a war without a purpose, in fact it is resemblant to the guerilla attacks of rebel forces in certain parts of the world, like Tamil Tigers or Jemaah Islamiyah or even Al Kaeda. Yup, protests towards oppression. The original Heero Yuy was already killed during the time of episode 1, by yours sincerely Heero Yuy of Wing Gundam.

Speaking of which, the first episode of GW was totally ROCKING. Free falling Leo vs Gundam !! What an opening... Much better than GX's.

2. The 5 pilots lost when OZ turned the tables against them by allying the space colonies by giving them benefits such as freeing them from Earth Federation's power. Earth Federation was clearly weak by midseries as OZ became more powerful and started venturing into space. Romfeller Foundation on the other hand became the major power on Earth and displaced Treize's OZ from authority with the new MD system.

3. Relena seemed to be a polarising character that everyone just loves to hate. I too disliked her at first, but in the end she was still acceptable. She tried to uphold the Sanq Kingdom's "peace" policy by not having an army (stupid, I know) but in the end when her country fell, she was made into a puppet leader by Romfeller's new Earth Government. Relena as a political puppet made more sense than the mindless loyalty of ZAFT towards a pop princess.

4. About the Zero System... it's a gimmick, no need to think too much into it. Technology in gundam is supposed to pwn stuff, and Zero system achieved what it's supposed to do.

5. Zechs... well, again there's no need to understand what he's trying to do. He's a CHAR. He's supposed to drop colonies.

But if you really want to analyse his character, here goes. He started off like Char, a heir to a defunct kingdom who hid his identity in order to re-establish his country's former glory. Zech's in fact was more noble than Char as his aim was to recapture Sanq Kingdom while Char just wanted to get back at the Zabis for personal vengeance.

When Lt Otto recaptured Sanq, he felt that he was unworthy of the throne because his hands were stained with blood, ie conflicting with the Sanq's peace ideals. Therefore he gave the throne to Relena by revealing her true identity, while Noin stayed back and assisted Relena as a promise to Zechs.

Zech's code of honour by restaging the Tallgeese-Wing fight eventually turned him into an OZ traitor and assasination was attempted (best battle in GW) which made him forsake the mask and became Miliardo. Miliardo, who has zero purpose in life after the second falling of Sanq to Romfeller, lost faith in the world and decided to show mankind how evil war can be, hence becoming the leader of White Fang. The rest, well... just think of CCA Char.

I know sometimes I might seem very defensive of GW but clearly my preference is towards the twists and philosophies of the storyline, which at times seem very confusing and absurd. Watch it a couple more times, read some forums, and you'll understand the reasons behind some of the characters' actions. In fact, GW's complicated storyline and massive background story has loads of potential for discussion. That is, if you can withstand some stupid looking battles where grunts blow up with the slightest touch. Endless Waltz however, is a totally story-less toy commercial with nothing to shout about. The battles in EW are even more horrible, probably with the exception of WZC vs Altron if you must. (not a really satisfying fight anyway)

Comparatively, GS too has stuff for discussion but I just can't seem to feel the same for GSD.

More discussions are welcome I'm lazy to talk about the other GW characters or even other series unless someone else starts it.... As for your sister watching it 5 times.. that's really More for bishie stuff perhaps?

^ Caution labels. It's a tradition of Katoki designs. Wing ver.Ka has them... Crossbone has them too.

What the... Malay sub also got people not happy?



LOL

Half transformation? Like macross's gerwalk mode? I think I've posted a pic of the MG Zeta in Gerwalk mode before, so yeah you should be able to do that with the model.

Anyway...

Zech's face looks distorted though, and the pic is kinda wrong in the sense that Tallgeese was never used together with Mercurius and Vayete (although the M and V were based on the data from Tallgeese and the 5 gundams.)


Z'Gok Amuro Custom... Ikimasu !!

Cloud's not the first dude to use the 7 sword concept. In fact, I feel that the 7 sword concept of Cloud is really hilarious and absurd. Can't stop WTF-ing when I watched Advent Children the movie... Anyway, that's not the point here hehe.

Just found some good stuff. Not sure whether it's canon or not, but it's a nice prelude to Char's Deleted Affair... then again, Haman has a sister?
http://www.bad-words.com/images/hda.html

Loads of misc stuff here too... and finally some insight into Johnny Ridden's legacy. Just check out the manga in one of those links.
http://www.bad-words.com/images.html

War In The Pocket is NOT boring. It's deep and meaningful, and not the usual bang bang boom boom super robot cartoon. In fact, it does have some of the better fight scenes, esp the Cyclops Team's first amphibious attack. Your friend is probably those who will enjoy GSD fights with loads of seizure-inducing flashing lights and bling bling more than slow-moe mecha action like those in the early UC series.



No matter how good his qualities are, that doesn't change the fact that Tiera's whole character design was FEMALE. Even the name sounds female.

Time to introduce your friend to the real essence of Gundam

Anyway... should have seen this coming.


And don't say I didn't warn you.

Anyway...

CHAR IS EVIL.

This looks Unicorn-ish... but Zaku I? LOL.


Uncle Blex wants YOU.


Finally, take good care of your eyes.

Logos... Anaheim... dudes that sell weapons for profit. CB is probably one of them as well, or at least have some 3rd party selling weapons to them.

Because Tieira is supposed to be a girl, and I still feel that they intended him to be girl but only changed it to a male in the last minute... dunno why, just feel that way. There's no justification in designing a girl's head with a girlish hairstyle with girly clothes (and handbag too ), with girlish curves in a spacesuit, and not forgetting the girly name; just to say that it's a guy with RARE beauty. No sense at all.

Anyway... here's some character linearts... everyone looks fine, except for the gayish butler with the dumb looking ponytail. Damn it... there are TWO dudes with girlish ponytails in 00.


Why can't guys just look like guys? Not necessarily a ruffian like Henken or Ramba Ral or Kacricon, but guys like Bernie and Kou look just fine.
Pic of Kacricon... died too soon...


Oh yeah... Zulu's profile in Chinese... well at least we know something about the Zulu's specs now.
