That's......an interesting design choice. So instead of a beam saber mount on the arm its instead to hold a knife, and the knife itself can emit a beam but from the back of the knife. Huh.. Regarding the beam guns doubling as beam sabers the Quebeley also springs to mind for me as well with its vers...

Always good to see more series get the MSV treatment. It took me a minute to process the design since I couldn't tell which was meant to be the head at first. The glowing slits on the neck armor at first looked like a head to me. I'm in the same boat, I'll pass on mobile games since more often than ...

More over the top than weird per se, but the Goldion Hammer from Gaogaigar involves a giant hand holding a giant hammer bigger than the operator which then drives a giant golden nail into the enemy which turns them into glorious sparkles. Gainax also have quite a few wacky ideas. Not in show, but Gu...

That's a good point, with saber emitters from rifles or from megaparticle guns it takes away the need for an arm mounted beam saber. As far I know there's only one or maybe two units after the Zeta with a box type unit: RGM-89De Jegan (ECOAS Type/Conroy Use) RIX-003 Cannongan (balofo mentioned back ...

I found a bunch of the old images and re-uploaded them - hopefully a lot of these broken image links are now fixed! -- Mark Thanks for doing that Mark! I was reading over an old thread that was very insightful regarding beam weapon outputs and noticed this link is also broken. Do you happen to stil...

There was a pretty good discussion regarding MS Generations a few years back. Here's the thread: viewtopic.php?t=16923

Ah sounds a bit tropey doesn't it? That's too bad I would have loved to see the Nemo III in more capable hands, I've always liked the design since I saw it in Gihren's Greed. Regarding Box-Type Beam Sabers or at least arm mounted ones with the examples we do have it seems like they are used on suits...

Interesting, never heard of the term Expy before. I haven't seen Captain Earth aside from a few Gattai gifs, are the Mechs very distinctly similar to Kurogane no Linebarrel or Gun X Sword? If that's the case it may be a homage or a reference, similar to how one of the Gurren Lagann music videos had ...

I've only gotten up to episode 5 so far but I'm enjoying it and plan on continuing. I agree Memempu's attitude is very grating, I'm hoping there will be a good payoff with her character later. They have shown some maturing so far, and her father certainly has the patience of a saint.

Oh that makes sense it comes from a 0096 sidestory since we saw the Nemo III there for a split second before it was annihilated.

I understand your frustration OYW Fan. I love the UC setting but I think the OYW itself has gotten extremely oversaturated in order to sell new model kits. Personally, my favorite side stories are the ones that utilize existing variants instead of adding yet another variant created in an extremely s...

Are you sure that it is arm-mounted in GBO2? The video i have seen have the beam saber stored on the rear skirt. You're absolutely correct, I just booted up the game to verify, it's stored on the rear skirt and is handheld in the right arm. It's default attack is a thrust which is rare animation on...

Awesome!! I'll put in an order, I've always wanted to finish that one.

Ohhh I understand now. Which manga is that, I don't recognize the art style and there's no title given. I know in GBO2 they have it depicted as arm mounted for the Nemo III, I thought it was in Gihren's Greed too but I'd have to start a new game to find out. I suppose it could be like the 79SC where...

Oh, so is the english release combining Vol 1 & 2, or is Vol 2 coming out at a later date?

I don't quite understand what does Box type means? But the GM Sniper Custom's beam sabre is still hand carry in use and only mount on the wrist, similar with Nemo III.(the manga showed it using the sabre in hand) The original depictions of the GM Sniper Custom (GSC) had a large box like device on i...

As for any upcoming books, The Men Who Created Gundam (which you may know as Gundam Sousei ) is getting a one-volume release in May 2022 and the recent Beltorchika's Children manga will be releasing starting in July . Both are from Denpa. Is Gundam Sousei only a single volume? If it is I'd love to ...

Oh interesting, I haven't gotten that far in Thunderbolt. That's a pretty significant geopolitical shakeup.

The discussion on beam saber colors reminded me of a question I had floating around my thoughts a few months ago. It seems as though box type beam sabers are fairly rare when it comes to Mobile Suit design and only a handful of units have them. The GM Sniper Custom is the first unit to feature one, ...
