But just imagine how much it sucks to be a rank and file dude in that kind of world. I mean, wouldn't you question the meaning of getting into your whatever mech to help Londo Bell if you knew that odds were you'd die in the crossfire between a Gundam and something else?

Even on the rare occasion where Gundams are stolen by enemies and not returned, there's always another (usually better) suit that they forgot to nab or had to leave behind, like the Astray Frames, the Strike or the GP-01.
Rest in peace, Gangsta Saviour.
I actually like the G-Saviour design, it's very reminiscent of the F91.
Me too.I like the way fan artist draw it, most.

Well that's the thing about humanity and war. The prospect of death hasn't stopped millions of people coming together in a singular goal of killing each other for thousands of years.
Im so fucking angry right now. How is the Norn an Online Exclusive?MG 1/100 RX-0[N] Unicorn Gundam Banshee Norn anyone?
Edit: forgot to mention it's p-bandai web exclusive
I can only imagine the green and orange are flopping and now a Green version will be in stores. I just wonder if it'll be a Ver Ka.

They're also going to release a Tamashii Web Shop exclusive Full Armor ZZ Gundam.
So tempted...

Good thing I just bought a ZZ model or I would be too.
Im still waiting for the HGUC of it. So im tempted as well just so I can have a quality Full Armor.

I have the Fix Figuration Full Armor, but it's basically a non-poseable, beautiful brick.
Not into plastic models, so the Robot Damashii is the next best thing. And they'll probably release the Gundam Sentinel FAZZ version later on as well, since it's mostly a recolor.

G-Savior looks like what would happen if the F-91 and the GP03 got married and had kids.

Yeah, I'd rather live in a world where I can watch giant robots shows as opposed to living in a world ravaged by giant robots.

It's kind of soulless, even where it's well-made.

would you rather be born into the build fighters universe or the UC universe
Not even close, I would much rather live in Build Fighter's world.
UC is probably one of the most terrifying settings I can think of, which is probably why I like it so much.
On one hand, you have humanity finally living in space, and all of the optimism and what not that comes from expanding into a new frontier.
On the other hand, you have to deal with near constant warfare. One of the wars was so brutal that half of humanity is dead before the first week is up. That kind of bloodshed is unfathomable. Furthermore, immigration to space isn't voluntary. People are forced to leave their homes, rather than go willingly. Your government is corrupt, and bloated. The other side is worse.

Worst Universe to live in without a doubt is UC.
You get nuked, colony dropped and loads of wars up the wazoo.
Then you have Seed/Destiny. If you are born a natural, it sucks. Then the conflicts and shit.
Gundam 00 is pretty decent as long as you live in the UAE or the other 2 powers. Don't live in Africa or the middle eastern countries lol.
G Gundam is good if you are from the colonies.
Best is without a doubt GBF.

Well, you can blame the novel for that

I finally got to beat Maxi Boost at an arcade without being interuppted and destroyed by other dudes. Something always went wrong. The cabs have reset on me, I've been kicked out, and just challenged by other players every time I tried to play Full Boost. Finally.
Also, I saw some cool Gundam guitar straps when I was in a guitar shop earlier today.

Haha. I went to purikura with friends, then decided to play Gundam while they played something else, but it ended up being past midnight. Since I'm a foreigner, and Japanese people are generally quite polite, the employee was watching me for like 10 mins before I finally asked him if it was closing time. I wonder how long he would have waited...
This Origin announcement sucks. Boourns Sunrise
New Tomino series looks kind of Turn A-ish. Seems neat. Too bad the PV only had three shots in it.
I don't really agree with this but especially the bolded. Unicorn is very blatantly a labor of love, and wears that on its sleeve. It's also an extremely well-directed series, particularly by Gundam standards, which often misses the mark on its emotional beats because its directors (well, Tomino) don't know how to capitalize on that shit.
UC is easily one of the more richer, fulfilling productions in the franchise. As a big fan of Universal Century Gundam, I'm really enjoying how UC deconstructs but also celebrates that era. It's sort of a self-aware "Gundam's greatest hits" package; it indulges in tropes but also makes a point about how/why they're tropes and their importance to the franchise as a whole.
is the biggest example, but there are lots of others too.
The aliens who built Turn X were the colonists/newtypes who had left the Earth.

This is somewhat addressed in gundam x. As well as the whole newtype obsessed nature of U.C shows in general

Knowing how tall it is in number is one thing, but seeing that Neo Zeong kit in comparison to other things really show just how crazy huge that kit is.
That really does put things in perspective. It's basically a small space station with arms and a torso.

I wish it had actual legs.
I wish it had nothing underneath the skirt, just remove those propellant tanks. Being a legless mobile suit was one of the most novel things about the Zeong. Sure they're not exactly legs but they still give the illusion of having them.
EvilKatarn
Member
Or that. The tanks look so much like dumb stubby legs that I just wish they were actual legs. Legless is fine too.
Maybe I should check out X, then. It's always nice to see Gundam laugh at how awful Newtype obsession was.
Just saw the announcements, can't believe Sunrise pulled a Capcpom
the title should be ReconQuista
He has an unending love of Level-5 and Hino, obviously he thought it'd be good
It says so right in its name. The Turn A symbol in math means "for each and every".
The movie takes it to 11
thousand million, the Qant is totally absurd even when compared to the teleporting 00-Raiser

PPSE isnt the creator of gunpla. They just make the plavsky particles and battle system
. Pretty sure bandai still makes them, though theyve never said for certain.

Gundam X time line is pretty much the aftermath of a worst case scenario of a UC conflict.
I love how it plays with and deconstructs the concept of newtypes within the franchise.
It's a shame it's so tragically unpopular among the fansbase and seemingly hated and mishandled by sunrise. Easily one of my favorite shows in the franchise. Definitely top 5 gundam material. Probably top 3 for me.
