The battle of Kilimanjaro

As every GUndam fan knows, episodes 35 and 36 of Zeta Gundam focus on the battle of Kilimanjaro, where Karaba forces (with the help of Kamille's Z Gundam and Quattro's Hyakushiki) attack an important enemy stronghold on the top of the eponymous African mount. Besides various mobile suits (mostly RMS...

Re: Does anybody have any information on these manga?

Below you can find something that I hope can answer your question... 8) - Outer Gundam http://www.mechatalk.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=12230 Just publication data and a chapter list, but better than nothing; as for mecha listing, the one provided at http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/outer/index.htm ...

Re: Does anybody have any information on these manga?

If memory serves, a few of the titles you're mentioning were already discussed - more or less - somewhere in the forum; Moon Crisis and perhaps also Outer Gundam are nearly surely among them. At any rate, I think it would help knowing more precisely what kind of information you're serarching for: e....

Re: ORX-13S Gundam Mk V Amuro Ray use?

According to the brief text coming with the art of this MS, it seems that the Augusta Newtype Labs wanted to develop the G-V expressely for Amuro Ray, albeit at the time he was already affiliated with Karaba. So, yes, the hero of the OYW definitely never stepped onto the cockpit of this ORX-013 vari...

Re: ORX-13S Gundam Mk V Amuro Ray use?

As far as I know, Amuro's Gundam Mk-V (or better, the one intended to be piloted by him) should be named ORX-013 G-V (i.e. “G-Five”), since it's actually an early design of the standard ORX-013, differnig from this latter in some external details (e.g. the head) and performances. On the other hand, ...

Re: UC Character List - Gundam

Well, I actually have one of such list, which obviously is ever-growing. Indeed, it's a bit more complex than the one you're referring to (for instance it includes also original Japanese name, alternative spellings, affiliantion and so on), and although for now it covers only U.C. characters, it has...

Re: Gundam Side Story: Missing Link MS

Still don't know what the missing link is actually My personal hypothesis is that the "missing link" is the story itself: as it can be noticed from the promo video, the "path" of Marchosias and Slave Wraith serves as a sort of bridge among the events of the various gaiden , lite...

It appears that the AMX-018 has replaced the Breda. http://amx003ck.web.fc2.com/axisms.html Well, I wouldn't be that sure, since the linked page makes a few other questionable assumptions. For instance (besides a couple of weird German transliterations) it lists an otherwise unknown version of Jagd...

Re: Gundam Side Story: Missing Link MS

It's weird seeing 2 Gundams on Neo Zeon (ZII, Pale Rider) The ZII doesn't belong to Neo Zeon: as can bee clearly seen on the promo video, the MSZ-008 actually attacks them, but stops when he recognizes Vincent Gleissner's unit and the Pale Rider-inherited head of the Todesritter. Furthermore, if yo...

Re: MS Catalog

Definitely agree on the fact that adding mecha from all the Crossbone mangas (i.e. Crossbone Gundam , Skull Heart , Steel 7 and Crossbone Ghost ) would be great! The same goes for the Dolmel and the originals from Gihren's Greed (e.g. the Gyan counterparts for the Gelgoog variations, or the High Mob...

Re: The Official Gundam Unicorn Anime Thread Mk VI

Well, it seems to have also parts derived from the MRX-010 Gundam Mk-II (arms) and the AMA-X2 / AMA-002 Neue Ziel or possibly the AMA-00GR Zero G-R (e.g. shoulders).

At any rate it's quite aptly named NZ-999 Neo Zeong 8)

Re: Xeno Asks: Assorted UC Mechanics questions

Just a flash answer...

The first 4 points would need a much more detailed discussion, so for now let's pick up only question number 5.

According to the kit instructions, those parts are named Helium Control Core.
