I always viewed gundam X as a retelling of the OYW gundam, with jamil as amuro and the other dudes (I forget their name) playing zeon and succeeding in raining colonies on earth... so turn-A linking ALL the gundams including G is kinda odd and well...poorly planned out and stupid, I mean how do you ...

what I don't get is why banpresto has no issues using instrumental and vocal tracks from the series in all their games, but bandai games (and bandai namco games) seems to outright refuse to...aren't they both owned by bandai. I'm just wondering what keeps one company from using the non j-pop, non-op...

I believe it was also in SD gundam g-gen-f. it's the starting mech for your original units. if it's the same unit I'm thinking of the gatling gun was housed under the arm, the barrel would slide out of a box and fire a quick burst. it also had a beam rifle and beam saber set up with a particle canno...

I don't think any of the wing gundam were capable of sustained long range atmospheric flight save for the wing in it's bird mode, as it was aero dynamic. and even in endless waltz I don't see the wing really flying per se, but just hovering at a high altitude (although it could be argued this is ind...

This being seed and not wing, the gundams can be taken out by grunts. I on the other hand will say he's wrong. to go off-topic for a moment the deathscythe AND the shenlong were taken out by tauruses which ARE grunt unitas, and the sandrock was forced to self destruct after taking a severe beating ...

That's why the ending's realistic. In real life the nice guy rarely wins, they're usually the one that goes through the most BS, sometimes that jackass that backstabbed his way to the top stays at the top, while the honest man works a blue collar job til the day he dies. but rarely do they show the ...

the X only has one beam sword placed at the end of the satellite beam cannon, it doesn't have the normal shoulder mounted cylindrical saber but a blocky squared one, I guess the higher output of it kept the designers from adding more than one. and everyone forgot the first gundam to have a handguard...

they're the same as the dendobrium's I-field generator or any other I-field from UC gundam it's just they're super-compact compared to the earlier models, and seeing as how all I-fields can do is block beams and not redirect them like an incom can I highly doubt it has any offensive capabilities. th...

also if I remember correctly usso joined the sabers at the hilt, that also may be why it doesn't happen with during beam sabers clashes and no one in their right mind would attempt to block a beam saber that close to the MS's hand as most UC ms don't have handguards on their sabers.

I'm guessing 2 things could have happened; either the fields pushed the beam particles out the same way 2 magnets with the same poles facing would push out a metal ball bearing,. which kinda goes back to tomino's stating in the gundam novels that beam weapons were super heated metal particle if I re...

If you watch the series Shiro is one of those "I'd rather die than let any of my teammates die" kind of guys, those really don't last long in the military unless they've got real concrete skills. watch the whole series from start to finish,although shiro is reckless he is a good pilot, he ...

cuz for the most part cartoons that are made for adults that aren't supposed to be comedic don't do well unless they are super-violent and profane. spawn (the HBO cartoon) was well written and thought out but like I said insanely violent compared to almost all american cartoons and let's not get sta...

yeah but it'd take a lot of rattle to break something loose as we've seen gundams and leo's get smashed into walls and still get up. I mean the force of a mech on mech collision IMO would do way more than constant rattling could...and the bullets DO penetrate the serpents armor...you do see them wit...
