I've been meaning to participate in this thread, but have been somewhat busy lately and have not been able to dig through some old sources. For the time being I want to throw a few ideas. My overall impression is that Zeon MS are overall better than EF MS, but the EF's logistical muscle allows their...

Personally I find the Musai Late Production Type one of the best ship designs in the UC: -It addressed the problem of AA defense. -It increased firepower by adding turrests that also covered some of the blind spots of the original model. -It added frontal MS catapults while increasing the hangar cap...

I still feel like this game is worth a launch purchase unless there's some outside factor hampering your spending money. Sure, some of the omissions are annoying, but the beauty of a game with almost 100 characters to choose from is that there's bound to be something that tickles your fancy. You ca...

Supposedly, Haman was intentionally keeping back most of Axis forces for the upcoming battle from whoever emerged victorious at the end of the Gryps war between the AEUG sand the Titans. When Axis is on collision course with the Gate Of Zedan, the AEUG is surprised to see many lights (ships) leaving...

The more I look at the RX-160G, the more I'm inclined to think it is a sort of middle step between the original RX-160 and the RX-160S: it has the feet and hands of the original, but it adds the rear leg thrusters of the custom model. The added propellant tank + thrusters on the back of the Isolde a...

MA model designations have each their own numbering: MA: MA-04X MA-05 MA-06 MA-08 MA-09 MAM-07 MAN-00X-2 MAN-03 MAN-05 MAN-08 MAX-03 The Braw Bro and Adzam share the same number, and so does the Bigro & Gromlin as well as the Big Zam and Elmeth. On second though, it would seem that it's just the...

On the table is the plan for one which consists of insect-like creatures controlled by hive minds. I've got Warhamemr 40k, Aliens, and Starship Trooper for my inspiration, but is there any anime which shows mecha fighting against biological alien life forms (other than Muv-Luv)? I think Blue Gender...

Well, looking at the overall design, I'm inclined to say that the shape was inspired by the Zakrello: Remove the claws & missile launchers, close the mouth, replace the eyes with a mono eye, and you end up with something similar. In particular the thrusters hint at this: both the Elmeth and Zakr...

I doubt that however Full Frontal was created, it involved retrieving data from the Sazabi wreckage: leaving aside that it would have been difficult to do so with the EF's surveillance, I would presume that any relevant data would have likely been located on the Sazabi's cockpit, which was ejected w...

the only real compedeter for the GM cannon line was the RX-77D Guncannon MP- type a scaled down version of the RX-77-2 but lacked Parts compatibility. I wouldn't call the RX-77D a scaled down version of the Guncannon, but rather a naturally more modern approach, with higher emphasis on mobility and...

Wait? So is there any part commonality between the Galbady Alpha and the Gyan? And secondly, is Pezun not really a manufacturer but instead a research lab? For all of their MS that they have designed and I could recall are prototype: Galbaldy Alpha, Gasshia. Even the Gyan (or at least the Gyan Eos ...

It was mentioned in Gundam Century: While the combination of the Elmeth and its bits was extremely powerful, it required the pilot to have a high degree of Newtype ability. Large numbers of bits went missing during practical tests, and it is recorded that the first prototype unit exploded after its ...

The background of the AMX-011S unit that appears actually might change our previous assumptions on the development of this particular model. But before addressing that issue I wanted to quickly point out a mechanical error in the series: the AMX-011S seems to have the stock S-type head, which ironic...

Finally decided to check what is this one about: -Overall I like the whole idea of revisiting Axis and have a mixed EF and Zeon time for the tour. -The connections between previous and following works (chronologically speaking) sounds good so far. -One of the central plot lines seems to confirm some...

After seeing the complete roster of the base game I can officially say I'm skipping this game at launch.

I do will be checking what DLC units are added later on.

The Galbady Alpha and the Gelgoog competed to become Zeon's next front-line MS, right? So how did data regarding each of these machine was leaked and influenced their opponents? No, the Gyan and Gelgoog were the ones competing, and the Gelgoog won. The Galbaldy Alpha is said to be the result of pro...

Agree on most accounts, though I want to point out that while Haman's faction did succeeded at developing Cyber-newtypes (or at the very least improve their faulty newtypes: Mashymre and Chara), this happened very late into the 1st Neo Zeon War. Also, Haman seemed overall unaware of Glemy's mass pro...

I must admit I'm likely not up to date on the retcons that could have occurred to the canon as far as what did the EF actually managed to capture from the Principality of Zeon's newtype research and weapons, specially anything that didn't show up in animated works. AFAIK, originally the EF only mana...

While browsing Weissritter's Anaheim Journal blog, I noticed an interesting image in his article about the MS-14JG pilot manual: https://anaheimjournal.blogspot.mx/2009/11/piloting-gelgoog.html The image in question depicts a MS-14JG engaging a RGM-79GS in space. The Gelgoog Jager is carrying its tr...
