Re: The Official Gundam Unicorn Re: 0096 Anime Thread Mk I

Sorry to disappoitnt you, guys, but the Sinanju Stein / Phenex footage you're referring to is actually a short animation (basically devoid of a true plot) projected on the Wall-G at Gundam Front Tokyo, titled Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn: A Phantom World...

Re: Gun Magna from G-Gundam manga

Nope.
MAHQ's profile substantially tells everything we know on The Gun Magna, and shows its most complete
depiction.

Re: New Gundam Ace manga: Crossbone Gundam Dust

Good job, as usual, Deacon! But why, concerning Ash King's nickname you're saying ash really doesn't do anything As far as I can tell, the kanji 灰 means exactly "ash" (in the sense of fire remains), so in my humble iopinion "The Undying Ash" would work fine, also because this see...

Re: Reappearings of UC main characters?

Well, if you accept the depiction of a completely non-ufficial manga (namely Moon Crisis, by Masafumi Matussura), in U.C. 0099 Kamille is a doctor, and he's still together with Fa.

Re: M72 Lakota jeep

Re: What became of MIP after the OYW?

Well, surely it's not an "official" source, but the recent Yoshihiro Sono manga Mobile Suit Acguy MSM-04 is settled in U.C. 0086 and apparently shows the M.I.P. still existing as a fairly autonomous company within Side 3.

Re: Information On Zeon's Aerial Battleship "King Of Dragon"

As far as I can ascertain, the linked MAHQ profile tells everything is known on King of Dragon . Concerning the image, here you are a scan from the May 1990 issue of Comic BomBom (i.e the original source for this MSV90 feature): http://img244.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=702620930_king_of_dragon_122...

Well, if I read correctly, on the only available page of http://gundam-tb.net/ they're explicitely mentioning an anime adaptation for Thudnerbolt , so it seems yours is more than just a speculation! Nice catch, Deacon 8) As a side note, way back when they released volume 1 there was a kind of short ...

Yes, I noticed that particular retcon too! I'm not sure this can be considered a true retcon of "Mayfly of Space 2", since it's known that some previous sources (e.g. the 0083 novelization, the book The Gundam Chronicles and the card/videogame Gundam Card Builder 0083 ) already identified...

Re: YMS-07A-0 Prototype Gouf

we know there's a second unit from MSV-D with prototype versions of the 75mm machine gun and the heat rod, yet still lacking the leg jet thrusters of the MS-07B, makes it likely for it to be something like YMS-07A-1, therefore still fitting in the Gouf's development line. According to the Hajime Ka...

Re: MS Catalog

Still speaking of Neo Gundam's core fighter, some time ago I've found an image where it's labeled as FF-XFN1; unfortunately, I don't know where this picture might come from... maybe a book similar to The Encyclopedia of Gundam, but I'm not sure.

IIRC, these MSV posters are supposed to be official artworks, aren't they?

I'm not sure whether it's a reference to the chess piece or not, but the codename "Bishop" for the MS-06Z and / or the entire project to which this MS belongs is around at least since 1987, as it was surely mentioned on the Gashapon Senshi seal MSV-17 (released on July 1987, if I'm not wro...

Re: Carrying Capacities in UC

Therefore, a possible relation with the...

Re: Carrying Capacities in UC

AFAIK there is not other version of the Komusai depicted in MS Igloo (although I haven't checked the manga). I've just checked more carefully my copy of the Ship & Aerospace Plane Encyclopedia 2105 , as well as other sources (e.g. MS Igloo Graphic File ) and they substantially say that differen...

If I recall correctly, volumes 2 and 3 of The Origin manga shown a larger version of Komusai (named W-Com [W・コム]) which is said to be specifically designed to carry mobile suits, as if the standard one - at least in Yasuhiko's continuity - would lack such ability....

Re: MS Catalog

As for the model numbers of Riku Tryon, Umi Tryon and Sora Tryon, was it a product of my faulty memory or does the animation indicates them as TRY-M1, TRY-M2 and TRY-M3?
