Not possible. The thrusters on the DRAGOON Units are mounted on the end that is right up against the wing hardpoint when docked, and the cannons face outwards. Ergo, if the thrusters on the DRAGOON Unit, or the pseudo-WoL on the hardpoint, were ignited while docked, it could potentially cause signif...

Hey you're right just what's the deal with Strike Freedom's WoL anyways? The in-universe explanation is that when the DRAGOONs are docked, they're slotted in front of the thrusters. Which is kind of silly. The out-of-universe explanation? They're there to look pretty, because otherwise, Destiny wou...

Then what about the Wings of Light on the Destiny and Strike Freedom Gundam? They arent propelled by rocket thrusters but by the WoL in the back of their wings. BULL. The only time SF ever used its "WoL" was in space, and the rocket thruster was also active. On Earth, all it had to go on ...

Forgot to bring this up, but wasn' the R-Blade originally intended as a sort of mass-produced R-1 or something? Might explain the resemblance. That's exactly what it was indended to be. Thought so, thanks. Explains the resemblance both in appearance andd in the "R-###" name. Speaking of w...

Thanks. Off-topic: I think whoever designed the Nero Blitz for Delta Astray got the idea for its V-Fin from that mech in your avatar - the basic shape is the same, though it's fancier than on NB.

My favorite of Katoki's designs, other than the Ex-S(and all variants thereof) would have to be the Huckebein series. Especially the MkI and the MkIII, although the main body design of the MkII is my favorite - esp. its legs.

Yeah, the double-broadside had to be one of the sweetest scenes in the whole movie. Well that, and the bit before that with the two ships duking it out. But MAN, Keith Richards was freakin' awesome in this movie, even though he's only in it for like, twenty minutes. Barbossa rocks. Period. He just r...

They both rock.

And Eternity has been proven time and time again and in at least five different forums that I've seen, as nothing more than a baseless rumor made up by a fan who was trying to draw attention to himself.

I was kinda pissed off when Nick stopped running the remake of Speed Racer after only like, six episodes. OT, but I've also heard rumors that the Wackowski brothers, (in)famous for the Matrix trilogy, are working on a Speed Racer movie... Speed Racer ...it's like The Fast and the Furious , but with ...

I would dearly love to see a Master Grade Destiny Gundam, as it is one of my favorite Gundam designs, EVER. Having said that, I think it likely that there'll be more ver2.0 of existing kits, though contrary to what Annon Kaies Zi said, I think there are still plenty of Universal Century MS that coul...

But if it was proper red instead of, you know, pink, then the gold joints would look VERY nice.

Well that and, you know, IJ's silver looked, IMHO, a lot nicer than SF's gold. In fact, if/when I ever purchase an SF gunpla, the first thing I plan to do is silver-paint the entire inner frame.
