Veritechs are a robotech thing... in macross they're variable fighters. And in macross the thing really comes down to the pilot, in Macross 7 you have Miria taking the crap out of pilots in advanced machines with a machine outdated by 32 years and nearly humiliating the Diamond Force in their Spec-O...

Well, Maria is the latin version of Mary, the most popular names of the western world since the start of christian era. Also, the very first contacts of japanese people with western foreigners were with portuguese and dutch people, and probably many women (nuns) that came for Japan with religious or...

Based on Divine Wars, all personal troopers, including the basic Gespenst are capable of hovering, Alt Eisen is the same, however due to its bulkier size and huge weight it can't do much more than it on Earth (like jumping). However, Alt Eisen Riese has a Tesla Drive that while I can't make it fligh...

Highly unprobable, if they often remove systems that are less uncommon and sophisticated like T-Link system, transformation modes and etc for units intended for Mass Production (R-Blade, Huckebein Mk-II M and Ashsaber MP version) the Time Engine will surely go away if the mass production of Excellen...

While we're still on the topic of plot shielding, can anyone specify or us good examples technologies used the CE universe that people declared to be plot shielding?

Well, it seems I'll work with the same subject as you, since I'm going to History course on college next year :D Academes record history and study it, but don't write it, they check the facts to see if it's correct. I know CE is the same but it took important things to change calendars (The creation...

Basically, i mean Unicorn should just follow the UC anime and cut down on imitating SEED by having cockpit OS or limbs/whatever that glow when it goes into an enhanced state. I don't mind if they use SEED elements, doing a good work and coming with reasonable explanations instead of the 'it's there...

As for RahXephon, it's another one I was looking into but never checked out. What type of show would you say this is -- if it even fits into a type? You say it's been accused of stealing from Eva; how similar are they in terms of storytelling style? Common misconception, Rahxephon has a lot of insp...

Most likely very unprobable, while we are gundam fans we often see something and then think it borrowed or was based in Gundam, but that's just coincidence. If you look at ShineGreymon and then to BurningGreymon (From Digimon Frontier/Season 4) you'll see that they share many common elements, and th...

I liked first and third season, they were really better than the others but I have to say that for me the story of the first season was the best and the designs of third season were better than the other seasons (I love Guilmon). And I agree that they actually really explored the genre of 'monster t...

Ships at Gate of Zedan

I was watching Zeta Gundam Movie 3 today and watching the scene where Axis rammed onto Gate of Zedan, and when they show the explosions inside the GoZ they show these ships on drydocks.

Anyone can identify what class are they?
