I think in order to figure out what the original plans for the Gyan were. We first need to take a look at the actual combat style invoked by the Gyan. The Gyan by itself can be considered to be a guerrilla warfare unit. The suit is designed to this by its armaments mostly it weaponized shield. The h...

Evex- I'm not really sure what any of that has to do with my point. Why is recounting the plot of Astray connected to my point? My point was that ORB has all ways had alternate motives when it comes to their mobile weapons development, especially when helping out other nations. ORB was also at leas...

Even though they're not 'at war', Orb had already done enough dubious things that worked against ZAFT. They'd helped build the Gundams, taken in the Archangel and lied about both. Given the various tensions at the time (Kira merely confirming he was a Coordinator is usually enough to find guards po...

It was odd being back in uniform after so long, and even odder being inside a briefing room. Royd would pull at the collar of his uniform, as if it was one size to small for him. If he had a written utensil, he would of most likely been taping it on the desk he was sitting at. Thankfully he didn't s...

When you run the numbers for everything in Zeta and ZZ for which we have mass ratio specs, you'll find that this difference (unfueled minus base weight) is almost invariably a whole number of tons. 6.0 tons is the most common figure, with light payloads usually 5.0 tons and heavy armament typically...

Wondering does Zeon begin producing Gundarium in quantity by late OYW? Or only after they relocate to Axis? Is it possible that including more Gundarium into making parts may help to reduce weight on late-production MS? I doubt Zeon would of produced large quantities of gundarium during the war, if...

(Mass ratio isn't full weight divided by base weight; it's full divided by unfueled weight, which in turn represents base weight plus carried equipment.) Do you mind explaining this to me. I've all ways thought mass ratio was the max gross weight of the mobile suit divided by its empty weight. I've...

Well the backpack for the high mobility type Gelgoog depends on what you want to base it off of. We can assume that the MS-14S Gelgoog is similar to the normal MS-14A Gelgoog, if I remember correct all the S does is designate it as a commanders model. First I think we need to know what the max weigh...

NAME: Royd Blakewood RANK: Private E2 AGE: 20 HEIGHT/WEIGHT/FEATURES: 5' 5"/ 190 lbs / Well built for some one his age, as he is lean with some muscle from his training and time in the arena. Short cut black hair and has brown eyes. ROLE: Standing Tortise pilot/ AT mechanic BIO: Royd was born o...

Something that I've noticed about the two suits is the model number that they hold. Both suits have a two in there model number with the Hi-Nu being RX-93-v-2 and the Nightingale being MSN-04II. Normally we don't see this unless the mobile suit uses a similar frame in the Universal Century, similar ...

It's from the: Gundam Mobile Suit File series. Here's the scans for the Gm Command, hopefully there's more useful info http://imageshack.us/a/img841/163/gmcommandmsfile.jpg That looks like the same data from the mobile suit gundam illustrated books just condensed. I can't read Japanese, so I'm assu...

My cruddy, off-the-cuff translation: "The SP-type is equipped with the same tuned-up generator as the G- and GS-types. This allows it to equip high-output beam rifles. Thus a sample second-generation beam rifle was designed, incorporating cutting-edge design concepts." That's probably not...

I wouldn't say the solid firing sniper rifle is useless. You have to remember that a mobile suit is very vulnerable in its head, and where the cockpit of the mobile suit is located, or its joints like the knees and elbows. A solid firing weapon also gives off no heat, and range isn't affected by the...

Actually isn't the time frame of episode 39 a tad too early for Shin to be Kirk-ing his way around the Academy? Given that the P.L.A.N.T.s were at war and Z.A.F.T most likely needed people I don't think so. SEED Destiny happens a year/two years after the original show airs. Given that we can assume...

The additions to this episode fit really well into it with out slowing the episode down. I'm left to wonder if Fukuda went back to the original script for this episode. The additions in the episode work that well that they could have been part of the original script. This episode also makes me wonde...

What is up with the Gundam "skoll" shield ? I can't decide if its some sort of offensive shield, and in its open configuration those are some sort of micro missiles, or if those are solar panels that power what ever that gun is in its right hand.

Checks to make sure jugular is still in one piece. I think there might be some misunderstanding somewhere along the way from my last post to this one. Let me try to clear somethings up, or at least hope to do so. The first thing is I'm not comparing Gundam 00 to Gundam AGE that be like comparing app...

I think the main problem with Gundam AGE is the way the entire property is just handled by Sunrise/Bandai. You have to remember that Gundam AGE was originally an idea pitched to them by Level 5, which sunrise liked and decided to run with. Level 5 isn't an anime company, but a video game developer b...

Episode 36 actually features the perfect strike gundam, and there is a short seen put in from seed destiny of shins family running for the escape boat. Images of perfect strike. Perfect strike arming up perfect strike after dealing with some strike daggers Perfect strike in the woods Perfect strike ...

In other words, they saved all the good stuff for the games? :twisted: It seems that way since level 5 is originally a game company. I found a link to the main games site off the article and there seem to be a bunch of new wares for the Gundams. I can't even translate the names, so I'll just give a...
