The CGI people are giving me some potent uncanny valley but the machines look great, really love that shot of the damaged Zaku tank with the cockpit visible. I'm really looking forward to a show with the Gundam as an antagoist, done like a Kaiju as you mentioned. One of my favorite cut scene snippet...

Sorry I thought I replied to this a while ago but I must have forgotten. Detailed information for Dunbine is pretty limited... Makes sense, I'll rely on the anime as a primary source then. I need to rewatch some of the early episodes since I remember them distinctly talking about manufacturing elect...

The https is working for me now as well, thanks Mark!

I'm doing a rewatch of Aura Battler Dunbine and just finished Episode 34 titled Aura Barrier. I was curious about a few things since a few things were different from the last Upper Earth arc but fortunately the MAHQ episode commentary answered a few questions. First off is the revelation that all th...

Ah gotcha, thank you for clarifying.

No problem, thanks for checking!

Would you recommend picking up either a more recent or a classic SRW encyclopedia book to find information like this? Do they lean more towards tech specs or large paragraphs of info?

Ah darn, it only shows up to the ankle. The Dai-Gunzan / Dai-Gurren has a few comparison shots when it debuts along with the Adiane episode, I was estimating it to be around 10-12 times the size of GL (130-160m). Too bad there isn't a complete comparison in the artbook. Likewise for Arc Gurren, in i...

Ah I see. Is it possible to extrapolate how big the Space version of the Ganmen are by comparing the original ganmen to the space sized versions model sheets to find a ratio? For instance if Gurren Lagann is ~12m and we treat King Kittan as being 2/3 it's size and so 8m and let's say the space versi...

Very interesting, thank you! I wouldn't have guessed it was only 12 meters, they tend to feel much larger on-screen although that can vary a bit with perspectives and whose the principal in charge of animation for that episode. From the combination sequence the arms and legs burst outward and length...

Does anyone have a source for the height of the original Gurren Lagann as well as the individual heights of Kamina's Gurren and Simon's Lagann? I've seen a lot of numbers tossed around including 18m to match Mazinger Z or the RX 78-2. There's an old thread from 2011 that mentions it is between 10-15...

MechaStellar March to August update roundup. Core Rules updated to VER9 This is primarily a quality of life improvement for players who enjoy Super Robot and Kaiju, gameplay remained unchanged for Mobile Suits. This update was focused around turning the Power stat into a force multiplier for these u...

I'm kind of surprised by the lack of new suits in the trailers. All MS shown have been existing designs, and mostly the first war. That is interesting isn't it? I would have guessed they picked MS for the movie based on fan favorites and what sold well. But I'd be surprised if all the Zaku / Gouf o...

Oh wow, I take a break from the internet for a bit and I missed out on some big Gundam news. This looks like an exciting project, I'm eager to see where it leads. It seems like it must have been a choice from the designers to use the Guncannon's rifle. Maybe there will be an in Universe justificatio...

Ah I see, thank you for checking

I'm not sure if the 0083 manga is canon or if this MS shows up in the anime with this weapon but if it does there's another railgun in canon U.C. Canon is a tricky subject when it comes to Gundam. If you're interested in learning more I'd recommend Mark's threads for how Sunrise viewed canon. Gunda...

That's a rather large plot hole which will probably be rectified by an 11th hour reveal by Delling. What do you all think it will be?

Lowered beam output was the first thing I was considering after being mystified by a Gundam sized attache case (which conveniently, hooks onto Airmaster while transformed). I reasoned that Witz really did not want that damaged and so lowered the beam output to disarm a MS and avoid harming the case....

That's interesting, from the watching the show I didn't get the impression they were trying to connect the G-Self to Turn A, I got more of an Overman King Gainer vibe from it, and it seemed as though they were using the G-Lucifer as the Turn-A reference. I suppose a lot of things may have changed fr...

There were likely additional units Anaheim had for testing that they could send to the Argama as needed. MSV also shows a Methuss Kai which had a High Mega Cannon, and the Methuss frame was also used in developing new MS, the ZII for instance.

I'm currently rewatching Gundam X and just finished the episode where Witz had his gold stash was stolen by the kangaroo-esque Daughtress High Mobility types (https://www.mahq.net/dt-6800hm/). These hovering machines make off with the case while Witz and the Airmaster pursue them. Setting aside the ...
