MechaStellar March to August update roundup. Core Rules updated to VER9 This is primarily a quality of life improvement for players who enjoy Super Robot and Kaiju, gameplay remained unchanged for Mobile Suits. This update was focused around turning the Power stat into a force multiplier for these u...

I'm kind of surprised by the lack of new suits in the trailers. All MS shown have been existing designs, and mostly the first war. That is interesting isn't it? I would have guessed they picked MS for the movie based on fan favorites and what sold well. But I'd be surprised if all the Zaku / Gouf o...

Oh wow, I take a break from the internet for a bit and I missed out on some big Gundam news. This looks like an exciting project, I'm eager to see where it leads. It seems like it must have been a choice from the designers to use the Guncannon's rifle. Maybe there will be an in Universe justificatio...

Ah I see, thank you for checking

I'm not sure if the 0083 manga is canon or if this MS shows up in the anime with this weapon but if it does there's another railgun in canon U.C. Canon is a tricky subject when it comes to Gundam. If you're interested in learning more I'd recommend Mark's threads for how Sunrise viewed canon. Gunda...

That's a rather large plot hole which will probably be rectified by an 11th hour reveal by Delling. What do you all think it will be?

Lowered beam output was the first thing I was considering after being mystified by a Gundam sized attache case (which conveniently, hooks onto Airmaster while transformed). I reasoned that Witz really did not want that damaged and so lowered the beam output to disarm a MS and avoid harming the case....

That's interesting, from the watching the show I didn't get the impression they were trying to connect the G-Self to Turn A, I got more of an Overman King Gainer vibe from it, and it seemed as though they were using the G-Lucifer as the Turn-A reference. I suppose a lot of things may have changed fr...

There were likely additional units Anaheim had for testing that they could send to the Argama as needed. MSV also shows a Methuss Kai which had a High Mega Cannon, and the Methuss frame was also used in developing new MS, the ZII for instance.

I'm currently rewatching Gundam X and just finished the episode where Witz had his gold stash was stolen by the kangaroo-esque Daughtress High Mobility types (https://www.mahq.net/dt-6800hm/). These hovering machines make off with the case while Witz and the Airmaster pursue them. Setting aside the ...

Do we have any information on the polearm blade used by Olcott? I'm curious if there's any special qualities to it such being a vibrating weapon or some superior cutting edge. Available info is that Olcott's Prodoros is armed with a heat lance. Well that's interesting. Now that I think about it I t...

(I am slightly worried by the remark immediately after that which suggests that when a photon battery of this class is activated it can occasionally generate micro-black holes.) :lol: So if the G-Self is destroyed we may get an Ideon like cataclysmic event? Well I guess it depends on what size they...

Good point I had forgotten about the time discrepancy. Hmm. Anyways, I've been leaning towards the hypothesis that Eri was transferred out of Aerial after achieving a Permet Score high enough to override & remotely control the Darilbalde's AI bits, possibly downloaded into Prospera's helmet beca...

I really love the wide array of mecha designs that have been appearing. Although one of the ones shown on the ground looks suspiciously like a reuse of a Gustav Karl. The shoulder weapon placement on the earth raid reminded me a lot of some of my favorite Armored Core designs as well. Do we have any...

Ah, it's been too long since I've rewatched Seed. I had thought that Aegis had limited flight while transformed but I may have misremembered.

Late the party, I didn't realize the series had restarted until a few weeks after it started airing. Finally caught up both in the show and reading through the threads here. Both Ryujin and Set Kaiba have provided some detailed analysis, perspectives and speculation which I've enjoyed reading. A few...

Sorry, I meant heavy bombardment. The manual say its issue is to adapting artillery-focus unit into flyable. Ahhh, that makes a lot of sense. I'm guessing the huge energy draw from the Calamity's weapons such would make flight difficult. Although, Aegis also had a Scylla cannon but had the advantag...

It's interesting they mention having a hard time making Calamity fly due to its weight, iirc both Raider and Forbidden have a very similar weight of around 85 tons.

Thanks for the information on the RGM-79F Railguns. So if they were repurposed Naval Weapons does that mean the older Salamis or its predecessor was using railguns prior to the introduction of Mega Particle Cannons?

Regarding railguns in UC is there any information out there regarding the railgun / railcannon used by the Desert GM and the Land Combat GM from MSV? Both share the RGM-79F model number. I recall hearing that railguns were developed by Yashima industries as a stopgap while the Federation was still m...
