Re: What is the MS-06B?
= Not that I can find. There are several possibilities to explain this: Zeonic developed a MS-06B as a further refinement of the MS-06A and it was deemed insufficient to meet the military's needs prior to the start of production and subsequently was either canceled outright or became the starting p...

What is the MS-06B?
Has there anything been written about the MS-06B Zaku II--the one between the 06A and 06C--in any Gundam material? I wonder how would it be different to the model right before and after it, since the biggest differences between the 06A and 06C are the latter's armor, heat hawks, and radiation shield...

Re: The Official Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Anime Thread Mk I
To be fair, a lot of 'successful' otome and yuri media also have pretty shallow and dysfunctional relationship, and they still sold well. There is a market for these things. Secondly, IBO definitely had less shipping fans than 00. It lacks that kind of 'gayness' that 00 has. At the end of the day, t...

Re: The Official Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Anime Thread Mk I
Honestly, I'd have the opposite approach... if it weren't for the excessive number of continuity references needed to really get the most out of G-Reco, it'd be the title I'd recommend to G-Witch fans as the one most similar to what they like. It's the most similar in terms of tone and style with i...

Re: The Official Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Anime Thread Mk I
One thing that many long-time Gundam fans often forget is that one of the biggest barriers to entry for new and casual viewers is the franchise's fondness for dark tones and heavy themes. Quite a lot of Gundam first-timers end up in the "too bleak, stopped caring" category and there are a...

Re: The Official Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Anime Thread Mk I
So I was thinking about something. Usually people praise the fact that Gundam, as a meta series, is so varied. That it includes so many AU’s and so many different takes on certain concepts. And in general I agree that this is a strength, versus having one single shared universe and all the baggage ...

Nice recolors! Give me the same vibe as all the recolors you find in the Master Archive books. But is Flickr working well for you?

Re: The Macross Valkyrie Thread
Say, beside the Vanquish Race, is there any non-combat role a decommissioned Valkyrie does? Like, I can imagine an armored Valk being used to explore the inside of a volcano.

At this point what kind of upgrades can they put on the Strike Freedom, Infinite Justice and Destiny? Giving the Freedom lightwave barriers? Giving the Destiny the ability to suck energy from other mobile suits like the Gold Frame?

Re: Why "RX-78" for the GP series?
I'm afraid you may have come away with the wrong impression on a couple different topics. The GP series was absolutely built at Von Braun. They were developed and built in the clandestine Anaheim Electronics facility codenamed Anaheim Garden in/attached to Von Braun. GP03 was transferred to the shi...

You know, all this thought about Fold Quartz and Vajra makes me want to ask this: Can you clone a Vajra like you can with human? Also, I imagine getting a complete DNA sample of a Vajra queen is nigh impossible, but what if they can do that? Has humanity reached the level of technology to allow them...

Why "RX-78" for the GP series?
Is there any possible in-universe explanation for the GP series to have the numeral designation "RX-78" while they are completely different mobile suits from the RX-78 series? They don't even share the same frame. Is this just a marketing ploy to launder the Gundam Development Project with...

Re: Is MS-06GD inferior to MS-06G?
Yes and no? The main design issue facing the Dom and other designs using thermonuclear "turbine" engines in Gundam 's Universal Century is that the engines are deliberately inefficient in order to prevent them from destroying themselves. The temperature of the plasma the Minovsky reactor ...

Re: Is MS-06GD inferior to MS-06G?
I don't think they have an actual number for Origin, 06GD is designed for this movie. If we count non-Origin there's the MS-07C-5, YMS-08 and YMS-09. But considering they have 6000 Dom/Rick Dom, I don't think a dozen or even a few dozen of test/prototype will be that much of a deal. Also, EFF hover...

Re: Is MS-06GD inferior to MS-06G?
I've done some investigation on the subject, and works from 1981 to 2019 that discuss the Dom's thermonuclear turbine engines are aligned on the particulars: The MS-09 Dom's thermonuclear turbines are actually a turbine-rocket hybrid system. Not only do they require fuel, they have a separate, dedi...

New Macross Animation Project to Be Produced by Sunrise
Does the Japanese news say anything more about this new project? Like, will Satelight involve in it, and if they do, how will they divide the production with Sunrise?

That is good to know. I am tempted to get the VF-25F Revival, but probably will wait for a few years until it shows up in the second-hand market.Seto Kaiba wrote: ↑Fri Apr 28, 2023 2:17 pm The Worldwide Macross one?
