One can always compile their own preferred set of canon works, as long as they don't contradict each other. That's what I do, actually, and it's what I'd always presumed was the obvious main strength of having no rigidly established continuity. Everyone can pick and choose whichever productions and...

He was obviously doing a comedy post, bro

Since n the the second movie White Base didn't arrive in time for Operation Odessa, M'Quve's nuke threat is not canon. [...] -MS Igloo: Apocalypse episode 2 (which is not only rather recent, but is also considered a canon series) You really can't unilaterally declare Gundam productions canon or non...

I strongly suggest watching more of the series before asking these kinds of questions.

- AEUG 4th Squadron Vicinity - - New Yark Team - Mart joined up with the rest of New Yark Team, his Nemo Cannon having been the last to launch. Mega particle shots from both sides streamed all around him, and from a distance both Titans and Axis mobile suits were steadily closing in. Processing thi...

- AEUG 4th Squadron Vicinity - - Alpha Team - Mobile suits streamed out of the AEUG warships in response to the Echo offensive. Stukov glanced right at the suggestion of HUD indicators. “Axis is here…” Without breaking his advance toward the AEUG formation, he relayed orders to the rest of the Echo...

As you can see, it appears that white pilot suits are usually worn by MS team leaders, whilst orange suits are typically worn by the other two members of the MS team. Doing a little research, I looked up Yuu - 2nd Lieutenant, Shiro - Ensign, and Amuro's - Ensign, ranks on the Gundam Wiki, which cou...

Has there ever been any mention of who may have been the very first test pilot for Federation MS? If I recall correctly, I vaguely remember reading somewhere that the first person to pilot a Feddie MS was actually a Zeon POW, who was forced into helping the Federation test it's MS. I could be mista...

There are real-world examples of guns with top-mounted circular drums, like the Soviet Detgyaryov MG and American Lewis gun , for starters. That makes it pretty clear that such drums are indeed plausible, though I don't know enough about gun mechanics to explain how such a design works. I also don't...

They do have an official name. It's "Titans".

- Alexandria -class Kirov - - Combat Bridge - Trent swore when it became clear that Beta Team had advanced against orders. “Issue a recall order to Gamma Team,” he said quickly, though he knew it was a futile gesture; Wolf Ritter had been out of his control for a long time now. Beta and Gamma teams...

OOC: Not dead! Sorry for the wait, just had a few days of adjustment after moving across the ocean. More substantive Titan post to come in a bit. IC: - Endra -class Bindra Vicinity - Renard had launched shortly after Max, using the same catapult Pris was about to use. He brought his Gaza-C, in mobil...

- Alexandria -class Kirov - - Combat Bridge - “That would be our luck…” Trent drummed his fingers against his armrest - an action bereft of dramatic effect when done through a normal suit - as a number of Axis warships materialized on the situation map. “Our main target is still AEUG. If Zeon wants...

- Endra -class Bindra - - Mobile Suit Deck - Ltjg. Renard Baromsky was the last pilot to enter the suit deck, just in time to catch the tail end of what Max Ball said. “We’ll see how many of us are alive when this is over,” said Renard as he shot a line to the open hatch of his Gaza-C. He snapped h...

You've made an observation about a common theme throughout Tomino's Gundam series. I think he brings up the same theme in some of his other works, too. I guess I'm with Red on this one, in that I'm not sure where you're going with this. It feels like I'm reading a partial brainstorm on an essay rega...

Yeah, but Fritz is talking about Gundam as a typical Hollywood movie, and there are no black British people in those.

- Alexandria -class Kirov - - Combat Bridge - “Axis? Are you sure?” Trent’s grip tightened on his armrest. “The Jupitris confirmed it, Commander,” was Fyodor Pavlichenko’s terse reply, “The Axis fleet has also launched an offensive against the colony laser. Command’s informed us that TF Echo’s orde...

- Salamis Kai-class New Yark - - Mobile Suit Deck - Ens. Bort Mart used to hate coffee, but months of drills since joining AEUG had enlightened him to the value of the stuff. He finished a coffee tube just as he entered the suit deck. The young pilot was wiping sleep from his eyes as he drifted ove...

And quite frankly there isn't a lot of supplementary timeline stuff out there regarding this war. Other than the events seen in the series, there was also an unsuccessful AEUG direct assault on Axis and, uh... I don't know, not much, because there isn't much interest (or I guess potential profit) to...
