Mecha Talk

I mean, it was not just Macross who had some kind of legal disputes in America, right? I could recall talking to one guy about a series that had appeared in SRW and could not be legally distributed commercially in America, but for the love of God I couldn't recall which series was it. It was not Go...

Yeah, it was a bolt from the blue for everyone. Right now, with Robotech effectively dead and nothing on the horizon on HG's end... I would say the chances of things falling apart are near-zero. HG would be only too happy to abandon Robotech for the steadier income stream from global Macross distrib...

Just trying to rationalise this particular "volunteer" thing and not the whole mess of TB. To be honest, there's no need to rationalize it... because that kind of thing is quite real, just not often used in the modern day due to the more rigorous training and cost of equipment. Volunteer regiments ...

After Big West's victory in the European Union, it looks like Harmony Gold has decided to throw in the towel and team up with Big West to release Macross's sequels globally.

In theory, all of the lunar settlements and Sides are part of the Earth Federation and under the jurasdiction of the Earth Federation Government. In practice, they're semi-autonomous local governments operating under the auspicies of the central Federation Government. The degree of actual autonomy t...

Do different uniforms signify different ranks in the Earth Federation? No, in the Earth Federation Forces a soldier's rank is indicated by rank pins worn on either side of the collar and on the uniform's shoulder loops. The Principality of Zeon actually does give different uniform jackets to differ...

How different do you think mobile suit types are? do you think a MS Pilot could operate most units? I know that some units are specially designed for Newtypes (or whatever variant an Alternate Universe has) but what about the rest of the mainline mass production units [...]; do they require specifi...

People living in space.

Likewise, Earthnoids means people living on Earth.

That's an adbot, mate... look at the quote. It inserted a malware link into it.

Honestly the idea behind tying every timeline together is actually pretty interesting, but it really falls apart when you actually try to merge all these very different stories together. Not only would there be an extremely long period of time for multiple Moonlight Butterfly apocalypses(we'd be ta...

How often has Sunrise emphasized this "official stance" to make it a relevant issue? It is de facto irrelevant because it's not something they're actively advancing. Even what G-Reco does is questionable, as I've seen it claimed that Tomino has at different times placed the series both before and a...

Also, G-Reco did made efforts to connect to CC. Gundam: Reconguista in G did a hell of a lot more than "make efforts". It was explicitly stated that it was a period directly before Turn A Gundam , with specific references to nations and technologies which appear in Turn A Gundam (like the G-Lucifer...

Well, all exist as fictional timelines in Build Series.

For maximum meta weirdness, let's petition Sunrise to add Build to the Black History.

So, in connection with what we were talking about in the other topic about the Black History and space colonies... Originally, when Turn A Gundam came out, it was established that all of the existing Gundam AUs up to that point were individual eras in the "Black History" timeline that led to Turn A ...

Another factor is the timeline of the Universal/Reguild Century (this is going to get confusing). As Turn A Gundam showcases all of the different timelines of Gundam are tied in together (somehow). If you take that into account then the colonies could have all been destroyed and then rebuilt in an ...

The problem? Science marches on . [...] In a more ideal situation, the colonies can maybe last up to 200 years if well repaired. If not, they may not even last for a few decades. Though, from an in-universe perspective, it seems a safe bet that science continued to march ever onwards and space colo...

Are Space Colonies/Lunar Cities supposed to be permanent settlements, or are they only temporary (in relative terms) settlements? They are meant to be permanent settlements. Some of them, the ones that are well kept-up, can last for centuries or even millennia. AFAIK, it first really comes up expli...

It's shown that most of the earlier equipment fielded by the Vultures and other miscellaneous Mercenaries was left over from the war (ie the 3 early Gundams, the mass produced MS used by both the United Nations Earth and the SRA), but what about the landships the Vultures use? Where they part of th...

According to background information; the ZZ Gundam was built to surpass the Zeta in order to fight the Titans, does that mean that Kamille would have been the originally intended pilot? Based on what I can find, it's hard to say? I'm not sure if this is a retcon or not, but the info I'm looking at ...

What exactly was the purpose of the post war Gundam Development Project? The Federation seemed to pour a lot of resources into its development( Three Gundams, New Warships, upgraded mechs), what exactly were they going to use them for? It seems a lot to just be going after Zeon remenants.... The Gu...

Regarding Frontier - there was one rumor why Ranka was so overhyped. Apparently she reminded Kawamori-san of his granddaughter thaswhy she was pushed in spotlight so much. I doubt it, to be honest. Ranka's in-series hype never felt excessive to me. She was meant to be an up-and-coming new idol who ...
