Those previously unseen color schemes of the LM312V04 are as follows:
- Trainer (orange and white)
- Camouflage pattern 1 (grayish blue and white)
- Camouflage pattern 2 (sand brown and sand)
- Rollout (light gray and white)

Yes, as far as can be ascertained the "normal" MSK-008 has always been a ground only mobile suit - after all, Karaba, i.e. the group for whch it was developed, operates only on Earth. Nevertheless, some modified space variants have appeared here and there, starting from the one depicted in...

Great info!

By the way, オレルス should be Ollerus, Latinized name for the Norse deity Ullr

Anyone here know the purpose of the bars on the shoulders of the Gundam Ground Type/Local Type?

As seen for instance in the original Blue Destiny manga those bars are very useful for the airborne transport inside Medea and / or Gunperry.

As far as I can say, yes, the spacecraft you're refering to are the same model.

On a slightly unrelated note, my previous statement on a possible connection of that "new" Salamis variant with a ship from Ixtab turned out to be wrong (a memory fault!)...

Yep, it's clearly a variant of the Salamis, but to my knowledge it's still unnamed. Its color scheme reminds me the MSV-R depiction of the Nelson class , but I'm rather sure that the aspect of the bow with that twin "muzzle thing" is taken from a ship seen at the beginning of the manga Mob...

Those devices are called "sensor light".

Interesting suggestion, but if this is the site you're referring to, I'm afraid it mixes info actually published on books (or other reference material, also quite obscure... see for instance teh Garonne ship, directly taken from the Z Gundam gamebooks) with fan-made speculations, and as far as I can...

Admiral Clemmens (Usually Official C) also shows up, but I can't recall if the date of his arrival matches that from CDA... I've just checked, and times seem quite fine: the 0083 scenes in which he's seen are most probably set in November 0083 (at least, tehy're at the beginning of the episode wher...

On that note... was that guy with the mustache in Ep 11 the same Captain from Zeta that Scirocco throws around? Yes, albeit on the 0083 materials he's usually referred to as "high officer D" (or msomething like that), this is clearly Ted Ayachi, who in Zeta will command the Alexandria cla...

Just a few more hull numbers from here and there... CVN-110 Alexandria [Alexandria class; Kazuhisa Kondo's Z Gundam manga] CVN-77 [unnamed Clop class unit; Revival of Zeon ] CVS-18 Glorious [G class assault landing ship; Revival of Zeon ] CVW-07 Pegasus III [ Gundam Sentinel ; reported only by some ...

I think the combination of that crest + the black coloring is a sort of trademark for Kycilia's corps, since the Zaku IIs Erisie was initially recalling are actually seen in volume 23 of the manga, inside A Baoa Qu fortress during the "civil war" scenes between Kycilia loyalists and the pr...

Interesting question. The first examples that come int my mind right now are the AMX-101 and AMX-10K deployed by the Raven Squad in the recent manga Mobile Suit Gundam U.C.0094: Across the Sky . These units - painted in the distinctive black coloring of the team - are used in a series of mock fights...

As said, the story is alternative compared to the originary one, so that many things are more or less completely changed. Just to name a few: - Kamille is enlisted in the AEUG from the very beginning; - Quattro is sided with the Titans, and pilots an RX-100 Hyaku Shiki (i.e. substantially identical ...

In a nutshell, the Z Gustav - a MS based on the data retrieved by the escaping Zeon forces from the RX-78-2 relic recovered at A Baoa Qu - is the Gundam of the "zeonified AEUG", as depicted by Kazuhisa Kondo in the manga Side Story of Gundam Zeta . Here the author provides his own alternat...

the existence of the AMX-008M and MAN-08S-M would derive not he question of whether or not there's a dedicated ship for deploying these marine units, in which case I would like to assume that this blue Sand Angler class ship is the prime candidate for such role. Exactly: caption text of the Fort Ap...

The idea seem nice. Of course, nothing completely new: after all, things like the M-MSV and MSV-R lines, as well as Kazuhisa Kondo's Anaheim Record manga (partly also Vanishing Machine ) share similar premises. The key image seem to suggest that they will chiefly focus on previously unpublished vari...

In my opinion - besides actual cameos as the museum relics or the wrecked MSM-07 - the most obvious descendant / reference to old Zeon MSs throughout the series is the Z'Goggy.

Yes, it seems that lacking a gunpla release there's no way to have "official" specs on the G-Rach... unless they will include them in the next edition of MS Encyclopedia :wink: Judging from a few screenshots such as the following ones http://blog-imgs-74.fc2.com/r/e/c/recluse/201502285.jpg...

As far as I can read (and understand!), the caption of the Todesritter's hyper beam saber says more or less that these kind of large beam sabers - provided of increased power output - were produced within the project Z, and are used for instance by units as the Mk-V.
