the question becomes is it really worth it to keep giant robots in if you might end up losing the audience because of them? I do find robots or space battle is a foil for something else. I don't think budget will be a big factor. Ever B5, the models are gone, and in come CGI. I heard that the ol' S...

A dropship is not a transporter. It's more putting in troops really fast. So most si-fi drop ship are actually orbital/atmospheric armed shuttle, that get in fast on re entry. The ultimate dropship would be the original (Not the movie) Starship Troopers. Battle armor that drop from orbit into combat...

Read the pre-review. Using a healthy mind to get into another being is not a new concept Ben Bova did it with 'Winds of Altair' and Timothy Zahn did it with Manta's Gift.

Anime is a niche product in general. Reality shows, crime dramas, and comedies are the current driving forces here in america. For gundam to succeed again, i think it would have to pander to a younger audience. . How about Speed Racer movie. It is an anime that become Hollywood production. Should t...

PS armour can in theory be overcome if enough force is employed or by the number of times it is hit in quick succession, as waltfeld demonstrated in the series if you hit it enough times with solid weaponry it will eventually shut down in order to conserve power . Nitpick. PS shut down because the ...

[quote]Gundam Zabaniya, Lyle’s unit. The Zabaaniyah are the gardians of Hell in the Qur’an. Looks like a close-combat unit. It has a slim torso and big legs like the Virtue. It carries a “GN Armor lite” on its back.Main weapon : Double hand gun./quote]

What happen to Lyle's sniping ability?

Instead of putting millions of dollars into promoting Gundam, maybe we should promote Mark Simmons. In Singapore, there is usually a local toy agent that will sponsor a cartoon to be aired during the prime time. And there will be massive advertisement during the commercial break. And they are aimed ...

I went back to recount the number of thrusters in Zeta. In MS mode, the thruster are pointing at an angle so that the MS could move forward. In waverider mode, 13 thruster are pointing back. 8 in the legs, 4 under the skirt, and 1 in between the skirt.

Not fully Destroyer Mode yet. And where is the HEAD? It's like some teaser of a strip tease artist, and they left out the head.

Red particles. GN stuff?

There are more ways to die by beam saber. I'm waiting for them to pull out a half-fried human body out of a cockpit of a MS that's been cut in half. How about Gundam : Final Destination ? :lol: The nearest thing to what you said could be Kira survive the 'hugging' incident between Strike and Aegis.

and not about love triangles and singing songstresses. :lol: [/color] What IS WRONG with cute singing songstresses that sells Chinese food? :( OK, let's take your suggestion one step up. I like some of your suggestions. In some of the aliens mecha series I've seen, it's mainly about 'them or us'. S...

Frog alien, however, is worth seeing. Huhhh?? A side track issue... Macross isn't just about aliens. It's a combination of aliens, music and love triangle. :wink: A recurrent topic in Gundam is the effects of war. And there is also a battle of different governmental philosophy or racial superiority.

sounds painful. :cry: an accident? The accident was not that painful. But the post op was bad. What happen was the lab I am working was going to have CAP (Collage of American Pathology) accreditation. It's like an ISO for labs. So I went back on Sunday afternoon to make sure my working area in the ...

I think this topic has came up a few times. Basically, Gundam is about war human fighting against human. May it be open war (MSG), a round robin fight (G), terrorist type attack (00 and W) or during anarchy (X). IT's about humans.
The closest thing about aliens are the Space Whales mentioned in Seed.

The 'lift' is generated by Trapar Waves. And it uses a material that made from 'Skyfish' so that all crafts could fly. Therefore all big crafts need not be aero dynamic sensible. And flying and directional control uses both conventional thrusters and Traper Waves. I think it was in episode 3 where t...

And how come only one black Haro survive.

Unless you want to disregard that it makes the pilot go all loopy :roll: Well as a form of fanfic, I agree that you could create something. As long as no TD Blanket could be made on earth. Some 'hybrid' form of TD Blanket could be made. I'm thinking of using pressure instead of gravity. Like under t...

Didn't that asteroid ship Celestial Beings contains multiple Tau Drive? If one Tau Drive is exhausted, it just plug another one in? But my main concern is the health effects. I seems to remember that the red GN particles is bad for you. It prevents cellular regeneration, and makes any wound from the...

Firstly, the only 'inertial dampers' I know off are found in Star Trek's capital ships, and in Star Wars fighters. Adjustable seats will cause more nausea. The ears senses will not agree with what the eyes see. although it was used in 'Captain Scarlet' SPV, it was more of an crash protection rather ...

but isn't Wolverine actually lived in Japan at one point in his youth? (with a wife killed there). Maybe they pick that part and expand it. So even if it is quite different, this might be handwave as artist's interpretion. Yes. It was mention in the 'Origins' series. I think he stayed with a group ...
