The Official Gundam Build Fighters Try Mecha Thread Mk I

[Kuruni]

Also, that theory you made is pretty weak. He doesn't necessarily have to watch the episode to conclude the number was related to G Gundam.

Somehow you completely miss my point again. The point of my statement is that he can come up with connection between Build Burining's model number and Mobile Fighter's model number without it has to be explicitly state in kit manual. I said that because after Mark post this connection (which, while I think so, is still a theory), you suddenly ask about unreveal spoiler-worthy info, like it should be in kit manual.

So if I have to make my previous two statement clearer for you, it mean "kit usually don't spoil something big like that. And just because he find an interesting connection doesn't mean it spoil whole thing."

But enough of that, we pointlessly derail this thread for far too long.

Does anyone know what SD model the Winning Gundam is based on? Or is it a completely original mecha? Thanks in advance.

[AmuroNT1]

Winning Gundam seems to be a wholly original design rather than being based on anything other than the general concepts of SD Gundam.

EDIT: Regarding Build Burning's model number, there's really no need to debate since it's just fluff. Technically a Gunpla doesn't need a model number at all, since rather than an official military machine it's just a model kit. Mark simply made the amusing observation that Sei apparently gave it a model number that matches up with the conventions of G Gundam's numbering system.

As for the mysteries behind the Build Burning, we're only three episodes in. It wouldn't be much of a mystery if they told you the answer five minutes after asking the question. Just chill out and enjoy the show, I'm sure they'll give us the answers over the course of the main plot.

In a related note, the Powered GM Cardigan's model number is RGM-237C. That doesn't fit any conventions but there's a reason: it uses Goroawase, a form of Japanese wordplay that uses numbers as a shorthand for words. In this case, 2 is Fu(tatsu), 3 is Mi(tsu), and 7 is Na(na) - Fu-Mi-Na.

I remember getting this guy back in 1994 when it first came out. http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN42524/Gun

Hopefully its appearance in the next episode hints of a BB Legends release given that GoddoMaru(God Gundam) is in the episode as well and Hikktori(Victory 2) will have a BB Legends released.

Ok thanks

That wordplay..I really appreciate all the little Easter eggs they give us.

Thanks to the upcoming model release, we know the name of the green Mock seen in Try (Hi-Mock, presumably a nod to the Hizack) as well as some of the weapons it uses (exclusive beam rifle, mock heat cutter, mock beam Gatling, mock axe, and mock rocket hammer).

Aside from the color there seems to be no immediately-obvious difference between the HiMock and the original.

[Raikoh]

That Mock is looking awfully Scopedog there. I like it more than the white paint job.

I'd have thought a Gunpla made with the express purpose of customization would have more points on the frame with which to attach weapons and armor and stuff. Alas, the Himock Turbo RSC will need a skilled builder to come to fruition.

[Akashi Takumi]

Do SD Gunpla have any other distinct advantages over standard Gunpla aside from being a smaller target?

[AmuroNT1]

In the world of Build Fighters everything is based off of build quality, so a really well-made SD model could presumably kick a shoddy Perfect Grade's butt as long as there weren't any disparities shifting things back in the other direction (like the SD's pilot being a rookie and the PG's being a Meijin-level fighter).

It's also the Powered GM's normal model number of 79 multiplied by 3. Oddly fitting for a show featuring a team of 3.

Remember to vote here, the leads can still easily change!

[Deathzealot]

Is there a English version of that?

Yep, I know that build quality affects the performance of the gunpla in the battle. I am just curious about the SD gundam gunpla style in particular, if it had any other inherit advantages over 'normal' gunpla styles.

[Raikoh]

How'd Destiny Gundam get such a high placement when it's already being used by a main character?

Polls are weird.

[Xenosynth]

Deathzealot: Nope, you'd have to go to their MS list and copy-paste the Japanese.

Raikoh: I think voting started when episode 1 aired. They did say that like, the votes are so spread that the results could change easily, so lots of people could have voted for Destiny before the OP aired.

Not sure. Perhaps all it needs is the small size to help Fumina's mid-range support.

We're getting another new Gundam type MS gunpla along its booster in Jan.

*I went with "Unit" here, though the original Japanese is 子機, which literally means something like "cordless telephone". If you want a more logical translation you'll have to ask someone whose Japanese is better than mine.
