Re: Dijeh - Is it really Earth-only?

The regular Dijeh's info states that its backpack with the radiator fins are made for limited atmospheric flight which for UC 0087 was still pretty rare for non-transforming MS, so that's one reason why its a ground unit only. And like Chris stated above, the Rick Dijeh has the backpack replaced fo...

Re: Share your Gundam facts!

Speaking of which, V Gundam Hexa, the commnader model, also got rid of the combination mechanism for higher performance. Hmm... According to the Japanese wiki , this is true only for the novel version of Hexa, not for the anime version. Both the official site profile for Hexa and the Gundam MS Movi...

Re: Share your Gundam facts!

So does that mean the MP F91 only use the normal Gundamrium armor that has been in use since the last century? I wonder what could have made MCA armor so expensive, because if they can not afford it for the MP F91, then they sure can't with the Jamesgun or the Javelin. Gundamrium alloy & cerami...

Re: Share your Gundam facts!

F-91 was the same too, only thing being different was the lack of Bio-computer in the mass produced versions but everything else was the same. Not really... According to the manuals of the MG and HGUC Gundam F91 (Harrison Maddin color), the MP F91 lacks the full specifications Bio-Computer, so it m...

Re: The Official Gundam Build Divers Mecha Thread Mk I

Sarah's mecha is a mechanicalized Sarah MD unit with more details, which the model will be completely ignored and only give a few spare parts for you to interchange. Oh well, good enough for a thing that only appeared for a single scene in show. The light effect is pretty good. (too bad it will pro...

Re: What is this weapon on the Avalanche Exia'?

A bit late here, but better late than never... Based on the text in the picture, Kanetake Ebikawa designed the weapon because he feels that Exia’s normal weaponry seems measly/weak? during the Avalanche Exia’ form. Anyway this weapon will be included with the upcoming option set for Metal Build Astr...

Re: The Official Gundam Build Divers Anime Thread Mk I

For those interested, around 3:20 - 3:24 of episode 6, the line directly above Shahryar and Tigerworlf in the magazine cover reads 'シャフリヤールダイバー姿を初公開!' and that translates into 'First public reveal of Sharyar's Diver look'. A possible reason why Shahryar go through the charade might be because he pre...

The DODS Lancer of Kyoya's “Dark Hound” seems to be the AGEII Magnum's rifle with added parts to disguise it. If I recall correctly, the top fins of the AGEII Magnum's rifle are visible on the lancer. Having wing binders like the AGE-2 Normal's make sense as Kyoya did lie that his “Dark Hound” is a ...

The last line for Laetitia Erde says that although he has the same look(?) & DNA as Tieria, his personality is different.
