Well... there's a little more to this now. Early art for the "Glory of the Losers" manga obviously featured the TV-version Wing Zero, which was quite odd considering the other suits used the EW/Katoki designs. However, Bandai just recently announced the MG Wing Gundam ProtoZero model kit, ...

I also think I remember something about their importance to beam weapons as well. Beam weapons themselves hold most of the firing mechanisms and the compressed particles needed for ammunition, but they don't inherently have all that's needed to fire the destructive beams that we know them for. They...

An actual term for this eludes me at the moment, so hopefully I can get my point across. In the second episode of 08th, we see the 6-tube missile launcher locks into a protruding port on the Gundam's hand. Is this some kind of lockout, so that other machines would not be able to use it, or is this m...

As for other ships of the Dolos class, Tomino's Gundam novels mention another one called Midro (Midlo?). This carrier participates in the defense of Solomon, deploying fifty Zakus and several Gattle and Jicco squadrons. Personally, I've always used Midolo for this one. I haven't seen the actual kan...

Ah, fantastic. I had forgotten all about eHobbyLand since the MSiA line died out. Just looking at a few quick pages I see a complete listing of all 80 original Gunpla, and there are few other links there that can probably fill in the rest. Thank you very much. Also, I'm talking about the Gundam Offi...

So, recently (as in on a random thought earlier today, in an attempt to continue to dodge the 40 bajillion other projects I've started) I started using my copy of the Gundam Official Guide to make a list of the older, original Gunpla releases. Using the two page model series breakdown for quantity a...

you keep using this word. i do not think it means what you think it means. Totally necro-ing here, but no one else points out a Princess Bride reference? I'm disappointed. Also, just my two cents, I tend to like the more angular and straight line approach from Katoki, rather than the rounded-ness o...

What more could really be covered, and need 50-odd episodes to do it? That would be just the thing with it though. Every so many episodes would be a self contained arc with its own characters, events, story line. Something like episodes 1-4 or so focusing on the Battle of Loum and the One Week War ...

Maybe a little off topic... but I kinda just want a new One Year War, full 50-some odd episode anime, that is filled with 3-4 (more or less depending on plot/character) episode arcs featuring plots and characters from throughout the war. It'd help fill in the back story, Sunrise could decide what th...

Was working through translating the card lists for Gundam War, and came across a name I've not been able to find anything about thus far. Earth Federation, Blue, CH-119 is listed as ダニエル･シェーンベルク, which I've currently romanized as Daniel Schoenburg based off of translations through Yahoo Auctions Jap...

Having (finally) recently acquired this wonderful set, and attempting to rip and copy it to my mp3 player, I realized my player won't play nice with the Japanese file names/info. So I went to Google, only to be unable to find anything except the same Japanese tracklist in the set itself, which Googl...

Been searching for an english tracklisting for these soundtracks, but I've had no luck so far, outside of a dead google link. Anyone can help with this?

Going through the various Gundam sections to make a personal use list of mobile weapons by faction, I've come across a slight difficulty. The "Ships of the Line" descriptor, while much appreciated, doesn't divide the vessels up by faction, and therefore creates a lot of guess work that doe...

Watching Gundam Wing again with my family, I've come across an interesting question that never stuck my mind before... Everytime I can remember seeing Virgos on Earth, they are dropped using parachutes and I can't remember even one (thus far) using its own thrusters to propel itself. Are Virgo's abl...

Working on making a personal Character Encyclopedia, though I don't expect it to be done at any soon time...anyways, I'm adding the characters from the Gundam: Lost War Chronicles/Senki game/manga, but having some difficulty with their names. I'll list the kana (so without Japanese language packs, t...

I was actually referring to the manga by Masahumi Matsuura entitled (at least on the Gundam mecha page) "Mobile Suit Gundam: Outer Gundam", which includes the first appearence of the "Zephyr Phantom", not the Newtype's Light....thing.

Looking for any and all informations about the following Gundam stories: Double Fake: Under the Gundam MS Generation Outer Gundam REON Secret Rendezvous: Amuro and Lalah Stampede: The Story of Professor Minovsky Mostly, I'm looking for a general plot summary and any contradictions with other, more c...

Two weeks, two days...
Still looking for the red and black ZAKU from DESTINY, though it's actually from episode 45, not 49 like I said earlier.

There is, in theory at least, one Silhouette pack we don't know. Alpha is Force Beta is Sword Gamma is Blast Delta is Chaos Epsilon is Abyss Zeta is Gaia Eta is ??? Theta is Destiny I know there are plenty of sites and such that list the Eta pack as a Saviour Impulse, but I don't think there has bee...

Hmm...did we ever see the ship resupply at a base or such in Zeta (or 83, or ZZ, or anywhere)? The first thing that jumped to mind for me was a resupply deck, since Titan ships seemed to carry more Mobile Suits/would want their Mobile Suits to be able to easily launch.
