Re: Zeon MS Frame Compatability

When we're on the topic of compatibility in OYW, just how different are the RX-78 to the Jaburo- and Luna II-made GM? Pretty different, considering the RX-78 and RGM-79 are made out of different structural and armor materials and the design was reworked to simplify it significantly in order to make...

Re: Teiwaz groups... More information?

Are there any Teiwaz groups/representatives in the upcoming urdr hunt anime project? Based on the character list from the Japanese game website, it's just the usual suspects from the Turbines (Naze and Amida) and some of the less prominent members of Tekkadan (Norba and Yamagi). Urdr Hunt seems to ...

Re: Post Disaster Terraforming (IBO)

Interestingly the Colonization of Venus (after a meteor hits it) and resulting political tension is the basis of the Manga/Movie Venus Wars Directed by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko ( Character designer for most of the UC Gundam verse ) and made by short lived Anime Studio Kugatsusha. Venus is not at all an u...

Re: Post Disaster Terraforming (IBO)

The Moon was also heavily damaged during the Calamity war as it missing some chunks from the little we see and hear about it from IBO season 1. Probably got hit by Dainslef too given the heavy impact damage shown. Yeah, the Mechanics and World artbooks say the Moon got subjected to mass bombardment...

Re: Post Disaster Terraforming (IBO)

So is it ever stated just how much of the Solar System is Terraformed in IBO? Nope. The official materials for the series are quite vague and essentially divide the worldview into "Earth" and "Everywhere Else"... which is more or less the same mindset adopted in-story by Gjallar...

Re: Aura Power in Dunbine

Awesome, there is a book on background material! Like the others, it's not exactly a useful one... so much in Dunbine is either unexplained or very poorly explained, so a huge portion of what's in the Master File is just a summary of the different types of Aura Battlers in the same terms found in o...

Re: Teiwaz groups... More information?

Is there any chance we will see the iOS or 4S Phalanx Teiwaz listed group In the urdr hunt project or MSV? I doubt it. Remember, these companies might as well not exist. They're not mentioned at any point in the anime itself, they exist just for the sake of an infographic in one episode that serves...

Re: Teiwaz groups... More information?

So I am looking through the Gundam wiki page on entries for the groups belonging to Teiwaz... What you see there is basically all the information that exists... and it almost all comes from a single on-screen graphic from episode 6 of the show's first season. The graphic reads: "TEIWAZ" R...

Re: Aura Power in Dunbine

So the Billbine in notable for supplying it's own Aura power, at least that's what the translation seems to imply when it shows up. It's aura cannons appears to work like an E-Cap though since it doesn't have unlimited ammo as seen in a later episode. Nah, the Billbine's definitely still running on...

Re: The Official Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance Anime Thread Mk I

My hopes aren't high for this one... as I've said on other boards and social media, I'm concerned that it's going to be a tall order to make Zeon soldiers sympathetic and likeable as the story's protagonists. Neither side in the OYW were exactly on the side of the angels, but the Principality of Zeo...

Seed and 00 had a decent amount of side info, granted they are two of the more popular Gundam AU's. As has been discussed above the more popular the show the more side material becomes available. Even then, if what you're looking at is the official publications it's still exceedingly rare for ANY G...

Re: The Official Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Mecha Thread Mk I

Nah, this is about normal for a non-UC series these days. The franchise really doesn't put a ton of effort into anything that's not a main character's mobile suit, and honestly never has. The UC tends to get more development and detail in its publications because that's the Gundam for die hard fans....

Hey y'all.

Generally? No. One of the many problems dogging the Principali...
