MC 0022 Next Winter:
-Phobos fires a Homing Missile from the propeller unit equipped Prometheus, Heero dodges while asking Noin to contact the Voyage and have them launch the Glass Coffin(Snow White transport vehicle). Snow White only has 2 Seven Dwarfs equipped
-As Heero dodges the missiles he is ambushed by Duo Jr. piloting Scheherazade also saying he cannot let Relena go. Meanwhile Relena is still experiencing the past with the VR helmet.

AC 189 Spring:
-Duo is in jail in a Alliance base. In other cell is Long Liaoya, Meilan's father and a member of the Rebels. He asks Duo to escape with him.
-Mare Tranquillitatis Alliance base, Lady une was promoted and was going to be redepolyed to Bulge but she objected. She is sure the Rebels are building the Peacemillion at the North Pole so she gets an extra month to investigate it further.
-North Pole, Howard and Professor G are working on Peacemillion. The money came from the late Ein to build a ship instead of MS. Subject changes to Gundanium which previously used the name of Diamond, Professor G says he won't produce anymore because there is already enough in the Devil(Warlock) and there are no plans to build other MS besides the Tallgeese.
-L1 Colony Medical Center: Zechs, Erv and Iria arrive but the lab is abandoned. While they search and find nothing as the important stuff was moved, Sally appears and threatens them riding an old Leo Type I. Sally recognizes Iria and she says she joined the Alliance in order to survive. After the hospital bombing Sally's mom went elsewhere to continue her research under the Barton Foundation. Sally says the bombing was done by the Nonemheim Conzern in order to capture her mother's research because of Mars' harsh enviroment that caused accelerated aging. Actually 2 clones were completed before the bombing: Leia Barton and Heero Yui. Iria wants to rescue Sally's mom, Zechs initally was reluctant but Erv said he couldn't deny the request of the 2 girls.
-Catharina Crate underground base, young Heero arrives and sees his clone. Doktor J says only 1 one of them will become the pilot and calls the clone a spare part. J says he won't treat them as human beings but as weapons. Clone Heero claims the Alpha name while Real Heero is left with the Beta name.
-L2 Colony prison, Duo and Liaoya escape with the help of the his twin daughters. Liayoa wants to capture Bulge.

MC0022:
-Heero lands the shuttle and exits it on foot while surrounded by Sheherazade and Prometheus a moment later the Glass Coffin lands carrying the Snow White as the sun shines.

I was gonna rage if Heero himself turned out to be a clone. Glad that didn't happen. Seems like Meilan is finally getting some screen time. I find it sad that Prometheus can't fly without extra equipment. I bet the propeller unit is the same one Heavyarms has which is lazy. Hopefully the Gundams go all out against each other so we can finally see what they are about.

What exactly is that MC text in the Epyon photo? I know it mentions Epyon Ares vs Epyon White but does it mention anything new?

Glory seems boring right now. Just gonna drag along until Epyon vs Zero.

[Mimeblade]

Has there been any indication that GoL's plot clashes at all with what's hinted at in FT?

[meer campbell]

Wait hold on, did they even show Heero switching from Wing to Epyon? In the anime Wing wasn't able to stand anymore. While in the manga so far it all that happened from what I can remember was that the Drei Zwerg malfunctioned. So that whole showing the Drei Zwerg chapter was just to sale magazines and model kits?

The whole Proto Zero and Drei Zwerg were just to sell merchandise. While I haven't seen the full recent chapters, the Wing gets abandoned and he switches to Epyon as per anime.

FT vol 11 cover should appear around 6/15, hoping for the first look on the colored Sheherazade

[Mimeblade]

I'm still in the dark about that whole period of Heero's life.

What exactly was he doing? I mean, first he goes around apologizing to the families of people he's killed, then he goes to Relena for a while... then he goes freelance merc... what was going on with him at that time anyway prior to being given the Epyon (and a little while after that)?

Can someone maybe explain that?

I suppose this the MC version carrying the AC version Heat Shotels, AC version is the B/W one. Afterall Quatre and Trowa found just the disassembled Gundanium frames and have altered the final design.

BTW all FT covers are done by Katoki himself.

Edit: just saw a nice theory: as we know in the Relena chapter of Episode Zero she meets what looks like Heero in the school, the following day he disappears and terrorists attack only to Zechs save her. That boy must be the Alpha Heero clone. I believe they will cover this since they're close to the point Zechs rejoins OZ.

[J-Lead]

I can't begin to tell you how elated I am that Trowa and Quatre realized the headdress was stupid.

Wasn't the "Heero" in that story under the codename Black Alpha? Seems appropriate now, given the context.

FT 11 cover

[Mimeblade]

The sad thing about that picture is... the one who looks like Zechs is a girl and the one who looks like Noin is a BOY.

Unless that's a flashback?

[ShadowCell]

time is a mobius of infinite recursion and pestilent madness in Frozen Teardrop

i really want this to get animated now, it'll be Gundam's attempt at dada

[Dark Duel]

If I wanted a convoluted story that reads like an acid trip gone horribly wrong and leaves me confused, I'd re-read Air Gear. Personally, the more I hear about FT, the more I hate it and really, really do not want it to get any more exposure than it already has.
But that's just me.

That's Zechs and Noin from the AC parts of Frozen Teardrop. It's a flashback.

The Alliance uniforms are a dead giveaway.

You and everyone with their sanity still at least somewhat intact. I can deal with the GoL stuff, but the Frozen Tearderp is just too off the wall.

[InjuredPelican]

I look forward to the updates cause it always makes me laugh and it honestly surprises me every time as well. There is no discernible logic to how the story flows, which is really something I don't see in professional publications very often. Its "unique"

[Amion]

Oh it's unique alright, no one can take that claim from it.

First image for this month's FT: young Trowa in a Leo cockpit.

From the text I can see Prometheus helicopter addon is called Damselfly, same as the GOL Heavyarms one. Sheherazade is using the Janbia.

FT Summary:
1)MC:
-Heero is surrounded by Duo Jr and Phobos but he activates a trap installed on the Snow White transportation capsule called Poison Apple. The mechanism releases an electromagnetic charged corrosive gas.
-Heero uses the opportunity to board Snow White and fire the Green Seven Dwarf.

2)AC:
-young Trowa section is mostly about his self sacrifice sense
-Lady Une goes to find the Peacemillion but encounters nothing since it's buried and using Professor G's Jamming tech

-Devil King(prototype Warlock) was supposed to be equipped with missiles in the AC flashback. Its melee weapon was called White Fang. Its size as a quadruped machine was a huge advantage since the Leo's sensors couldn't pick it up properly
-Prometheus's had a Leo Camera so Doktor J decided to use Dual Eye head camera for the Snow White as a more perfected form which in turn became a feature of all the subsequent Gundams. The Dual Eye was originally produced for Proto Zero's sniping since the stereoscopic sight provided a higher level of accuracy.
-AC Sheherazade uses special fabric bandages all over its incomplete Zero Frame plus the shoulder fixed mantle made of the same material.
-Zero System was made by Doktor J analysis of the residual SAM that was in the Sherwood ship, so it's only the basic system without the SAM personality.
-All Zero Frames made after Proto Zero achieved a weight reduction while maintaining the prototype frame's strength

-The Perfect Zechs Files was achieved by re-entering Sally Po and Meilan's data, using it Heero recovered fully and Relena is in the process of doing so. So that means we're in the final pre GOL flashback and there are no more Files to be covered.

-Clarification on the Dragon Clan new AC characters
A)Long Liaoya (竜獠牙, ロン・タウヤー): Long Zi-ling's son, father of the twin sisters Meilan and Futie
B)Long Hudie?(竜胡蝶, ロン・フーティエ): Long Liaoya's daughter, piloted the Devil King with her twin sister Long Meilan(subpilot)

Apparently it was mentioned in Gundam Ace that the novel is ending soon, if there's a chapter this month then the 12 volume will be complete for release. Let's see.

[meer campbell]

Thanks for the info Balofo. Even if no one posts in the thread that often I do check it daily and appreciate what you do. If it is ending soon I'm a bit nervous on what is going to happen next.
