Consider that Chapman won Gundam Fight three times in a row until Master Asia beat him, and that Gentle Gundam (which is the successor of Britain Gundam) has nothing fancy beyond a sniper beam rifle, it makes sense that people would invest heavily in beam defense tech in the 12 years from the 9th F...

As was the case with Lfrith during the prologue, I seem to be going back and rewatching the duel in this episode over and over again. I've watched it maybe seven or eight times in the past couple of days, and I don't think I'll ever get tired of it. I admit to being curious to see what the next step...

That was certainly the plan. Of course, I'll only be able to do this for as long as my tired old Macbook Pro lasts, but I plan to keep doing it for as long as I can. And here's a couple of recolors of the Gundam Pharact that I've been thinking about pretty much since I first laid eyes on it: Pharact...

Oh. my. GOD. That was great! Suletta is just too precious. Also, the end of the episode had me LMFAO. Can't wait for the next one.

They're cosmetically different, and the armament isn't the same. The Gundam Gerbera has a long beam rifle with an integrated beam jutte for intercepting enemy beam sabers, and a shield. It also has a pair of beam sabers, which are stored on its backpack. The Gerbera Tetra also has beam sabers, but t...

Maybe. Anyway, just for giggles, here is the Aerial recolor with the original backpack

And, since I had nothing better to do, I went ahead and did the rear views as well:
Simple Recolor
Modified backpack. This one was a fair bit more challenging than I expected, but I did my best.

So I finally saw the Witch from Mercury prologue last night, and...

I did a thing..

Started off as just a recolor, and then I got the idea to mod the backpack. Might do a rear view at some point.

Another example is the Duel Gundam's Assault Shroud, which it purges during its fight against the Forbidden.

I honestly had a problem with the entire concept of the dead guy being replaced by his identical twin brother who also adopts the same name. So what I would do, IF I used Lyle at all, is keep him to a minor character. And maybe change his appearance somewhat to differentiate the two. As for the new ...

Guess so. I'm not sure how I feel about that because I'm generally not fond of the concept, but we'll see how it's implemented. I do find it interesting that a production-model Gundam variant is appearing in the prologue already though.

Okay, well I'll keep an eye out, and I'm definitely gonna be picking up Frontier as soon as I can.

Strictly speaking this is more a mech than an anime comment per se, but I am exceedingly curious about the Pharact, myself. The enormous, articulated heels look to me to actually be more the back panels of the leg armor, which is on a joint for some reason. Additionally, those six "eyes" o...

Good to know. Gonna be a long week though.

Exactly. In the third variant, the 0-Raiser is basically dismantled and its support systems are installed in the 00 itself via a modified backpack and the new binders, plus the increased size and number of control antennae - with a Haro docking port being added to the cockpit. Red Haro completely ta...

I don't think so, because the Providence's shield is the same color regardless of whether its Phase Shift is active or not. Looking at this screenshot , in which its Phase Shift is active , the shield is the same light gray as the rest of the body. But looking at it pre-deployment like in this scree...

I went back to try to recover what I could. What I was able to find, I edited the links. In the case of some (like the IBO stuff), the links are dead because I did newer versions of the same design, in which case I usually left a note to the page where they updated version was posted as I was unable...

The teaser visual depicts the protagonist of the series and Gundam Aerial, the protagonist’s Mobile Suit. Oh YES!!! FINALLY, we have a female Gundam pilot as the main protagonist. I was already curious to see this, but now I really can't wait. As for the mech designs...I'm liking the Gundams. Very ...

I just hope this one doesn't go off the rails, narratively speaking, the way the 0083 manga adaptation did.

I'll try to go back through the thread at some point and see which files I still have that need to be reuploaded and I'll edit the links accordingly.

A lot of the older stuff, sadly, has been lost when my first laptop died.
