Re: Hi-Zack and psychological warfare

Hi-Zack is a good design. GM II is not. They have the GM. So zeonic put it in a Zaku frame. Give it the GM's best feature, the big shield, although the Hizack shield is kind of crap. Armor doesn't matter in Zeta period anyways beyond ballistics protection, and anti-beam coating. Basically their cho...

Re: Zaku II F2 Anti-Air Weapon

Good afternoon everyone, I was looking at the Robot Spirits Zaku II F2 figure coming out in November and noticed something interesting. From the press release: "The Zaku Machine Gun can be changed to a new anti-aircraft magazine model". Looking at the pictures the anti-aircraft model appe...

Re: Questions about the GM Cannon

1 How much force would a 240 mm cannon exert on the GM Cannon when it fires? Would the machine's humanoid structure makes it unsuitable to bear that much force? 2. Why did they make the GM Cannon in the first place? The EFF had already mass-produced the Guncannon, as well as improved the concept wi...

Re: Gelgoog development acceleration?

Side note, I've heard that the Sherman isn't really built with all compatible parts, just that they ship the parts made in the same area(state?) to the same battle field and thus they don't have a maintenance problem, but if you take parts from a different production location, they can be so differ...

Re: Gihren as father of Glemmy, Puru and Alicia

Probably for lack of an appropriate sample of Char... and the fact that the original was still very much around to get cross about it. Neo Zeon only started trying to clone Char after Char was generally believed to be very very dead. Say, we know that SNRI has their hand on two AI based on Amuro an...

Re: How well can the Gyan operate on the ground?

That is with mobile suit parts. Weapons are a different thing. Gelgoog and Dom/Rick-doms have no problem or issues using Zaku weapons. Since the Gyan has the reactor strength, it should be able to handle the Gelgoog's beam rifle. The Zaku II weapons required a refit in order for the Dom and Gelgoog...

Re: The revival of Core Block Technology in late U.C.

Say, on the topic of Late U.C. MS, which unit started the trend of intergrated non-handheld heavy weapons onto MS? I mean, the F-71, the F90, F91 (VBSR technically have handle for the hands to grab, though), Hardygun, Heavygun, Javelin, Victory Gundam (Overhang Pack), etc. either carry these types ...

Re: Is the Trafalgar-class still canon?

I hold a strange fondness for the Columbus-class, and by extension the Trafalgar-class, for their huge hangers on the sides. But it makes me wonder if the Trafalgar-class is still canon (is the Gundam novels considered canon?), and whether there is a reason for the Trafalgar-class creation? I mean,...

Re: Harmony Gold vs Tatsunoko

It feels like they saw how World events managed to buy out Golion from toei and thought they had the same leverage. the only diffrence was that Golion bombed hard in Japan Macross is basically a major franchise in Japanese sci-fi.
