Makes sense, plus as the early UC 100s were a period of realtive peace, they probably thought they didn't need to focus as much on offensive capabilities.

So why did the Earth Federation build the Penelope? Was it a testbed? Or did they suspect the Mafty group was planning something?

So with the Black Knight Squad's Rud-ro.A units, is there any difference at all between the 4 units? Or are Color schemes the only change?

Sayla was a medical student at Side 7 , who ultimately joins the White Base Following her encounter with Char post, where both recognize each other whilst Sayla is search for survivors, in this timeline Sayla somehow took a more Amuro like path, maybe she recognized Char as his prominence rose, and ...

Thanks for the info, looking forward to it. The movie was in theaters longer than I thought it'd be thankfully, it was amazing. I wasen't sure what exactly to expect going in, but it was a great movie and I can't wait for the full series. The alternate history was intertesting and a very well done i...

Thank you, it makes sense given that the Moon is apparently neutral, so keeping things out of Von Braun works, plus you would need a lot of space to build a fleet of warships.

Given Hamans conflicted feelings about Char, who was the Sazabi origionally designed for?

So is it estalished where the Second Neo Zeon (U.C 93) had their ships and suits made? Were they made at Sweetwater (like the Argama was)? Or were they built at factories at the moon?

So as Hi Evolution was the last of the Eureka Seven Franchise, It apprently had refernces to all of the Franchises Spin offs (Manga , Novel and Video Games)

Is there a list anywhere as to what these refernces are? Some of the media is more obscure than others.

Thanks

After 3 years the story has a nice ending that ties well into the greater CE verse. I'm not surprised Ken survivied, and the main characters contiune their mission of helping people. It's not hard to guess they will work well in the new ORB that comes with Cagalli following the second war.

It makes sense Eclipse has finished it's run locally in Japan, the last few chapters definitly seem as though they are the finale.

So was the Auerstädt built specifically to transport Variable Fighters or was it rebuilt in order to house them?

It was mostly being the only Peagusus class that wasen't White and Red, even then the Green color is quite a bit different in retrospect.

Thanks , I'll look out for what streaming service it comes to.

So is it ever established anywhere what purpose the Anti-United Nations in Macross Zero wanted the Bird Human for?

U.N Spacy wanted to research another piece of Alien Technology, following Alien Space Ship 1 in the 90s, but what did the Anti-United Nations want with it?

So the movies are coming out (I can't go due to work), is there any news on when the series will air/where it will stream internationally (ie Crunchyroll, Netflix)?

There seems to be more designs out now. Does anyone else think the Zeon Pegasus Class Sodon seems to resemble the Thoroughbread from the Main UC?

Kunio Okawara started off in Textile design,and according to a Gundam anniversary video designed to Mobile Suits to be reminesent of bussiness suits, explaining some of the asthetics.

Test Tube Babies make a lot of sense for several characters; paticularly Glemmy and Ple (though illigetamte children for both also lines up with their ages: Ple resembles Cecilia Irene and would have been 2 at the end of the war, Glemmy would have been 9 and one of the Female Soilders seen in an MS ...

So who else has watched this OVA? It has an interesting (if odd even by the standards of Alternate History Science Fantasy) premise (Some reviwers have called it a mix of swashbuckling advterure like Indiana Jones with Steampunk Mecha). But it's still rather obscure in terms of reviews either writte...
