The Official Gundam Unicorn Mecha Thread Mk IV

[latenlazy]

Probably that monster Neo Zeong. I guess Unicorn isn't getting any more unique equipment.

[balofo]

Yep, looks like the final battle will be hand to hand after Neo Zeong uses a new kind of weapon that causes beam based weapons to explode.

Not so sure I'll like it...

A miracle happened! Someone finally managed to damage a RX-0 unit! Banshee's lost its right leg(also lost the Armed Armor DE).

Didn't Marida slightly damage the Unicorn's shoulder in Ep3?
I remember seeing a mark left by it's funnels.

Yeah, same in the novel.

The thing is that was just an armor plate this is a whole limb. In the novel both RX-0s were untouched.

New MS:

Schuzrum Galluss
Zeta Plus A1 (!)
Gustav Karl (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I am pleased with all three.

[Ceiling_Squid]

Holy crap! Yes!!

Both Gundam Sentinel and Hathaway's Flash are getting a continuity nod, oblique though it may be. Oh happy day.

I've been hoping to see the Zeta Plus ever since it lost out to the Barzam in that popularity contest poll. I have only to wonder how it'll show up.

Also like the fact that they're mostly sticking with Kazumi Fujita's bulky design for the Karl. Just a bit of an update and cleanup. The rifle does look pretty tiny in it's hands, however...

[nacho-wan]

My jaw just fall to the floor and broke into a million pieces. I can't believe we are going to the gustav on animation, much less the uncanny Zeta plus. Joyous day indeed.

[Heaven Piercing Man]

I knew it, I knew it, I knew it
All hail the Gustav Karl, finally an official MS.

Though I rather prefer Moriki's design over Fujita, but still, I love it.

[balofo]

Tears rolled when I saw that Gustav Karl!

Z Plus looks like just a cameo in Earth...

Gallus J love!

Onlu poor Zaku III didn't get Unicorn love in the end....

[Calubin_175]

It is still the A1 but with ReZEL weapons, so we could still assume it only operates on earth.

Gustav Karl is lovely, maybe it is a prototype or serves as a prelude to new special forces akin to the 0083 epilogue with the Titans.

Strum Gallus, definitely a post 0093 model.

[BrentD15]

Heck yeah!
Gustav Karl!

[balofo]

Schuzrum Galluss is 50% lighter than base model, uses an external booster and is made for breakthrough enemy lines/bases.

Now with the Katoki ver gustav Carl we'll finally learn where it stores its beam saber(legs in the original novel lineart).

[Zeonista]

This series really is the UC gift that keeps on giving. Maybe they will do something besides stand around in the background? The Gallus series has really gotten serious upgrades in this series, with the Remnants variant and now this one which has been nicely updated for the UC Nineties. The Zeta Plus has the uniform paint scheme more like the C1, it would make things easier for Bandai in mold injection.

[branman88]

I hope with the Gustav Karl appearing that this means will see Hathaway's Flash animated in the next few years.

[Deacon Blues]

You know... it's funny how those amateur NicoNico videos of a Unicorn animation turned into a full-fledged project. Maybe that one for Hathaway's Flash means something too now

So in order to shoehorn the Gustav Karl into existence they're billing it as a it's a state of the art mass produced general purpose mobile suit whose development was carried out on a different line from the RGM-96X Jesta which was included in the "UC Project" as a strengthened mobile suit with a direct lineage to the RGM series. Advanced use (先行運用?) of this unit is carried out under the pretext of operation trials at a certain Earth Federation Ground Forces institution.

Thanks Deacon for the Carl translation now I can safely say what will happen down in Earth in OVA 7:

Spoiler

Martha will take over the Colony Laser trigger using the Carls but Kai Shiden will appear with a Zeta Plus A1 squad to arrest/stop her.

Sheesh, they're not afraid about the spoilers.

-The new Gallus sure looks stripped down, wonder what's that on its backpack
-No visible Beam Saber rack on the Carl...

EDIT: '' Advanced use (先行運用?) of this unit is carried out under the pretext of operation trials at a certain Earth Federation Ground Forces institution.'' This means we're getting Manhunter?

Either that, or the Circe Unit. To me, it always seemed that ECOAS was supposed to be the predecessor of the Manhunters (though IIRC in CCABC it was the military unit who caught Quess and her hippie friends)

Circe was just the renamed Kimberly unit it wasn't formed by now. It has to be Manhunter which was already active since CCA

-Carl now has 2 head vulcans instead of just 1
-S Galuus appears to carry mines on its back
-Z Plus has EFF markings
