...wasn't she complicit in the whole destruction of most of the Federation's fleet in order to help Jamitov subvert the government and create the cartoonishly evil Titans? Pretty sure that counts as doing something objectionable. Last I saw, it's unknown just how deeply involved she was, but I doub...

It feels like I like the series that most people seem to hate for one reason or another in the AU, lol. (G, X, Turn A, first 2/3 of AGE, and if one wants to count it, Gundam Build Fighters.) You and I appear to run in different circles, good sir. I tend to find G, X, and Build Fighters getting more...

Agreed on Stella's case. There's also the fact that, as it was demonstrated, the Extended weren't totally reliable either considering they can be screwed with in the midst of combat while also having pretty limited combat time before they need more drugs. And in the end, the whole point of the Exten...

Others pretty much summed up the good things I can think of with Zeta. It's definitely a great series that will always have a spot as ONE of the best, but as mentioned, there's many different tastes out there. Like me personally, while some say Zeta is "over-hyped", I find ones like Wing, ...

The only then-active Zabi I could really see "savable" would be Garma. Even when Char betrayed him to die, Char says it wasn't personal and only due to the "misfortune of his birth" into the Zabi family and seemed to get along with him outside missions too. Then again, Char could...

Your standard-issue jet fighter is designed to shoot down other aircraft , so it's not so relevant to mobile suit combat but should work nicely against those lumbering Dodais and Base Jabbers. When it comes to mobile suits, one of the most useful things an attack plane or helicopter can do is avoid...

Is there any known mechanics for beam weapon recoil/kick, especially on standard MS beam weapons, or is it all pretty much left entirely up to the animators' whims? I mean given that sometimes we'll see a MS firing a beam rifle/spray gun/etc. straight as a laser, no movement from the weapon whatsoev...

Some of the more interesting ones I can think of: - 00. Graham's Flag constantly moved in and out of the shop as he moved to the Ahead and later got it upgraded to the Masurao and finally the Susanowo. - X. The Frost Brothers had their Gundams straight upgraded. - G. The Kowloon Gundam TRANSFORMED ...

I'd guess it would depend on various things, like how each side works, what their situations are, who got their hands on them, and whatnot. Like with Zeon, at least if the ace pilot died, I'd guess that at first they'd try to preserve the MS of the ace pilots and use them for propaganda pieces or so...

Was it ever confirmed whether or not the people used in Angel Halo were actually Newtypes or not? So far, I have yet to see, read, or hear anything saying they were all real Newtypes as opposed to "psychickers" or just a huge number of humans meant to take the place of a much smaller numbe...

As mentioned, it tends to start off with machine all the way, then the pilot starts getting more known bit by bit, depending on how things go. Like I doubt Kou's name ever got out there at all given the Federation's cover-up of most of the Delaz Conflict and the GP series, hence the "Unknown Ac...

Uso still wins out on youngest protagonist at 13, so Judau being 14 (Amuro was only 15 in MSG himself) isn't that big a deal, lol. The thing that really sets Judau apart from Amuro and Kamille (at the time anyway) was that, right from the get-go, he was forced to be a bit more mature due to having t...

This show never spoils awesome music and fights :lol: Also, it's time for: Athrun and Cagalli stranded alone time! I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say this is how I feel about the next episode: http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/onion-head/hell-yes-onion-head-emoticon.gif Honestly, I'm a b...

Now, I admit that I have no real defense for Deathscythe Hell's double scythe as it's used on the show, though it is capable of moving the blades separately so at least you can argue it's able to sweep a wider area or convert the thing to a spear if needed. Not to mention the added-on vernier thrus...

Ugh, the new guy... I am hoping they Heine him... :roll: Yeah, he just comes off as way too nice, you know? lol And whenever such characters show up in such anime, you expect them to either die or turn out to be traitors who actually royally hate those they were previously acquainted with (Dio, in ...

In terms of pure running speed, it doesn't look like MS have really made any sort of huge leaps and bounds, though the down-sized MS of the F91 and Victory eras would probably be slightly faster due to much less weight. Otherwise, most MS tend to have the thruster power to be able to hover (like we ...

I'd put the Blitz and Forbidden as Close Combat personally. As for defense and mobility, it'd probably depend on what systems are used. Like with something like the Minovsky Drive System, then you can probably easily afford heavier defensive measures while still retaining good mobility (especially c...

And as Amuro demonstrated, if need be and with the right pilot (preferably a Newtype, lol), even ones like the Guncannon can still handle itself pretty well in melee combat, even against melee-oriented MS like the Gouf.

I guess unless you go to the extremes, most MS can change its combat range by only changing their main weapon. By extremes I mean melee and ultra-long range firing(like the FAZZ's dozen thousand km) For close to long range, you don't really need to have specialized specs, you only need a suitable w...

And, of course, just because a MS may be labeled as a certain range, that's really just what it's abilities are best suited for or it accels at best out of other ranges, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's lacking (much) in other ranges of combat either. It's usually the more (extremely) specialize...
