The Gustav Karl indeed has heavy/thick armor, that is specifically pointed out in the HGUC model kit manual and in the Gundam Narrative's official profile. I also won't say the base weight is barely more, the Gustav Karl is about 36% heavier even though it is only about 8% taller. As for the max we...

Anyway, going back to the original point of this topic, when's the last time we saw an overcrowded colony or a slum area in one of the lunar cities in Universal Century Gundam? Well, we certainly have slums in the colonies (Shangri-La) and one could argue that where Kou was beaten up was a "slum" a...

Gundam franchise do have publications labelling some events as 正史 and some as 野史 or 異説, they do want to have official accounts of the history, and thus I try to honour at least their efforts of trying to do so. You'll have to point out which publications, exactly (I'm curious), utilize that termino...

As if specs and whatnot haven't been all over from the beginning. Explain the RX-78-02 and RX-78-2. To my understanding, canon means the one and only officially accepted version of the history/story, RX-78-2 is, 02 is not. A simple zero in the model number now doesn't change anything. It's still de...

Please tell me where on Earth can Origin is canon, it has a different MS design timeline for every single Federation MS, numbered differently, (Say, RX-78-02 instead of RX-78-2), and different specs. As if specs and whatnot haven't been all over from the beginning. I know we have very different vie...

Origin isn't canon. At least there are many alternative designed machines that are just similar but not the same, it doesn't work as a same reality as the original series. The Author of Origin also said it is his own take on the story. Please tell me where it is EXPLICITLY stated that the Origin is...

In the MSV-R manga, they did an homage to Quattro's Hyaku Shiki floating in space, cockpit open, only this time it was with Shin's Zaku.

Depends on which version of his story you want to follow. Both of them have him disappearing following his rescue of Zena/Mineva Zabi though.

I think it's a bit of a stretch for Alicia to be in there. AOZ reboot is a bit... Disorganized? That and nothing else (that I've seen) have ever referenced what's supposedly transpiring on Mars.

Here we go with the naming conventions again...

You say misinformation, exactly how is the information I have created in my classification systems incorrect? You just said it yourself, "information I have created in my classification systems". Nothing that you presented or outlined on the Wiki in your blog is even remotely accurate or how ANYTHI...

Here's the problem with your system: it creates misinformation and doesn't exist in any continuity. Trying to shoehorn this in in the Wiki already exacerbates their poor reputation. You're basically creating a system for no purpose.

I think the way Fukui is spinning off their existence is essentially through public backlash over them. According to the radio drama that came out, the Federation still has yet to acknowledge the real Universal Century Charter (despite protests to do just that). Furthermore, scholars also speculate ...

Unless some information has changed, the Dijeh wasn't a one-off mobile suit crafted specifically for Amuro. Years later, the MSK-008R Rick Dijeh is something that is more akin to being customized for Amuro but that's it. If you choose to follow part of the Gundam Narrative manga version, the serial ...

Because I have actually seen the capture screen. But anyway, took me some time to find but we have another source that you can see: https://www.gundam.info/news/publications/news_publications_20181218_12.html From 宇宙世紀メモリアル, Official sample on the left side of the second row. TB is listed with Orig...

On the topic of name, is it "Full Cloth" or "Full Cross", as the X-1 and X-0 named here?

It says フルクロス, which could be read either way with equal validity.

Their preferred reading is apparently "Full Cross"?

Full Cloth appeared on the model boxes didn't it?

Cross Born. It's Cross Born Dust. It's no longer Crossbone on account that it has nothing to do with them anymore. Let's clear up that misconception The change of title isn't reflected in the Japanese wiki I referenced for said title... it still has it as 機動戦士クロスボーン・ガンダム DUST. The Japanese title ob...

Oh, the team I've recruited for the new Macross website I'm launching later this year is experimenting with an OCR-based "digital highlighter" to automatically transcribe the text from the publications we're working on into our cloud-based collaboration suite so we can divvy up large publications w...

Ooh thanks Kaiba xD

Sorry for the slight delay... the learning curve on my new translation support tools is kind of a squarewave.

I cringe to ask what support tools that'd be...

The mechanical blurb is referring to resupplying the Anchor, the titular mobile suit from Cross Born Dust.
