-Ideas for a Better World- E xactly what it says on the tin. I'd like to hear your ideas for how we could make this planet a more decent place to live. This includes everything except politics; new infrastructure, new technology, new planning, new ways of doing things. Tell us how we can make a tom...

I'd just like to note that they seem to share the same coloration as the African Liberation Front Desert Zakus in certain shots.

Was looking through a translation of MS Era, and I noticed something interesting in a couple of the pictures. In addition to the Zaku II and Dom variants portrayed, there's also a portrayal of a Gouf variant among them: here and here . Besides that, there's also a Zakrello and Bigro , but that's sor...

That actually makes some sense. Deikun refers to people transcending the limitations imposed by their ENVIRONMENT, rather than necessarily their biology. Then again, he also mentions the awakening of the unused portion of the Human brain, so, it could be interpreted both ways. Either an evolution of...

" H ere they come! Everyone look sharp!" Flint Hobten looked at the monitors which covered the walls of his Mobile Suit's cockpit, currently showing the outside world in the ghostly green tones of infrared night vision. His Suit, an old J-type Zaku II, stood as part of a guard unit around ...

Mobile Suit Gundam: To the End. Some mood music . Prologue: "Attention all Zeon officers, and soldiers. I am Prime Minister Darcia Bakarov. Supreme Commander Gihren Zabi, along with Rear Admiral Kycilia Zabi, have laid down their lives in battle. As Prime Minister of Zeon, I hereby order all e...

Just a thought, but it may not be that the shoes are magnetic. Perhaps most shoes in the UC time-line just have metal strips in the soles, and the floors THEMSELVES are slightly magnetic. It would not take a fantastically strong magnetic field to hold someone down in zero-G, either. It would explain...

One of the most iconic aesthetic points of the entire Mobile Suit Gundam series is the mono-eye. First showcased (in the franchise) in the Zaku II, the mono-eye is as cool and sinister as it is... ...well, pointless. It is clearly shown within the series that a Mobile Suit can still operate, with un...

I'd have to agree with T.V. about the Hetzer/Oggo, to be honest. However, it DOES make want to do a comparison of MS/MA to German panzers... Also, I'd have to agree that the Natter is a much better analogue to the Oggo, in terms of the fact that it was supposed to be cheap and semi-disposable, flown...

Honestly, I think the EMS-10 Zudah has more in common with the Heinkel He "113" than the He 162. The "113" was really a Heinkel He 100 with a different model number, analogous to how the EMS-04 was just given cosmetic changes and a new designation to make it the EMS-10, and also ...

It's common knowledge that the Principality of Zeon in UC Gundam draws a large amount of influence from Nazi Germany during WWII. This is reflected in their uniforms, the names of some of the characters, their weapons, and of course, their Mobile Suits. Personally, I think there's some Imperial Japa...

There HAVE been instances of "prototypes" being fielded in actual combat, in the past, though never as dramatically as the RX-78-2 Gundam or most of its ilk. In 1936-37, Nazi Germany sent a limited number of pre-production Messerschmitt Bf 109s to its Condor Legion for use in the Spanish C...

Well, there's a simple explanation for that. 10 sounds more impressive than 04. And, the revived Zudahs being essentially propaganda machines, that's all that counts. Also, it hides the true nature of the machines better than if they'd just called it the EMS-05. It would have been even better if the...

Ah, okay. For some reason I thought there were three, but Google has proved me wrong.
Curse you Google!
Anyway, we're getting off topic...

Well, wait, no. There was the Suit that was destroyed during the initial testing, and Duvall's Suit, which was destroyed during the fight with the GMs...
Didn't the 603rd retain three surviving Suits? That would make 5.

Something I've been interested to know: How many Zudah-type Mobile Suits were actually built? Now, in MS IGLOO, only five Zudahs, all of the EMS-10 type, were shown. However, was the 603rd the only Test Team to receive these units? Were there more Zudahs back at Side 3, or with other Test Teams? Wer...

Well, you forget, the Federation was probably trying just as hard to break the stalemate through unconventional means. I.E: Using stolen Zakus in false-flag tactics. Of course, the Feddies couldn't very well openly supply them, being covert forces using enemy machines, so they had to fend for themse...

My tentative guesses would be that: A: The combat "testing" of the Hildolfr, and the subsequent paperwork, were simply formalities, and were not actually reviewed by the High Command. B: The Hildolfr, while a very powerful anti-MS weapon, was not pursued due to the fact that the Federation...

Looking at the Timeline, the Hildolfr doesn't really seem to be connected to any political or military movement. It's construction began in 0072, kind of a quiet time in Mobile Suit history since true mobile suits didn't exist yet. However it features many aspects that would lead to a mobile suit b...

I have a question about the YMT-05 Hildolfr. Why was the whole Mobile Tank concept perused at all? Don't get me wrong. I think the Hildolfr is awesome on toast, make no mistake. It's fast, it's got a big gun, and actually, it can be considered to be one of the first transformable Mobile Weapons. It'...
