Miscellaneous Gundam contributions

[AmuroNT1]

Well, discussion of info isn't really supposed to go in this topic; I might make a G-Unit discussion topic in the near future after I translate some of the info in the back of the book. But in response...

-To most of your deeper technical questions...they don't say. There's not a lot of information in his thing. All it says about the Leos is that they're customized versions of the mass production model Leo.
-What's a lead? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_(electronics) I'm guessing that's meant to be the explanation for the Leo-R's "hair".
-No, no back views. In fact, the only thing we get other than the standard 3/4 view is the pic of the Leo-S's beam duel saber.
-There is B/W lineart for the D-Unit and Grandshario, but the scanner was being a royal pain so I just grabbed the two pages with the work I just posted. I'll grab those two when I have a moment.

Regarding some of the claims people are making about G-Unit stuff, I did have a thought. In 2005, KC Deluxe released reprints of several Gundam manga, including G-Unit. These had some technical sections in the back which included B/W versions of the lineart that appeared in the DDG, and might be the source of some of these claims. I've been trying to grab the books for a while, but so far no luck.

BTW, random fun fact: Comics Japan was starting their own version of the manga (simply called "Gundam Wing Gaiden: G-Unit"), done by Tetsu Mizuki, but they folded after only a single chapter had been published. It seems that the characters were quite different, and the manga centered on OZ Prize rather than the MO-V crew.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this but...
http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/hobbyj ... s-119f.htm
is NOT Dias but Doga.

Also, I'm not sure if this matters, but it comes from the "GEARA DOGA Variations" series.

[AmuroNT1]

Did some custom color lineart for a personal favorite, the RX-94 Mass Production Nu Gundam (with fin funnels).

The Union Flag Orbit Package Astro Work Type and the Union Flag Orbit Package Colony Guard Type (albeit minor) have noticeable differences between the two.

Which means the "Cruise Mode" you have for the Astro Work Type is actually the Colony Guard Type "cruise mode".

Also, that means "Mobile Suit" mode you have for the Colony Guard Type is really the Astro Work Type.

Somehow we don't have section for the BEST Gundam manga yet. The Mobile Suit Gundam-san.

So far, only original MS with good quality lineart for clean up is this thing.

Now looking for that Psycommu Guntank...

[AmuroNT1]

Here are the Endless Waltz versions of the Maganacs, as they appear in Glory of the Losers. Despite the name, these don't seem to be the same machines that appear with Sandrock at the very end of EW, so I don't know whether they belong in that section as well. Additionally, all the lineart for the TV versions (minus the head) can be re-used here.

[Gundam Enzyklopadist]

Hello folks,

bilbros and myself have returned. After a too long, forced break we both made a new contribution for you all. Enjoy it!

My private life, a new work and dozens of other things happened, but i can't say that i am sad about this. No, my life is getting better and better!

Gundam MS Graphica

Japanese title: ガンダムMSグラフィカ
Format: visual novel series

Background:
The book, published in December 2006 by Softbank Creative, features three Universal Century side
stories, each centered on a peculiar mobile suit.
These tales are presented in the form of photo-novels, or better, visual novels, i.e. text plus a
rich set of "photos", entirely made up by CG images.

The first story is titled "torsionally established", and focuses on the development by Titans/Anaheim
of the Gundam Mk-II. Among the various details and
explanations on this MS, we're told that four units of RX-178 were built and tested at Green Noa.
Unfortunately, the last one was inside the military facility
where Jerid Messa crashed onto it (as seen in the first episode of the TV anime Z Gundam), and this
event caused it heavy damages. Two rare photos of this "lost" machine
show it during a night training inside the colony and after the accident, laying down on a trailer.

The second tale is aptly named "incredible story". The year should be U.C. 0095 or later; starting
from an investigation of the Sweetwater Police Department on an Anaheim employee, the complex developement of the MSN-00100
Hyaku Shiki and its golden anti-beam coating is revealed. Many interesting tidbidts on the subject are showcased,
including the first depiction (at least in real life!) of the Delta Gundam, the
transformable "alternate version" of the Hyaku Shiki.
Subsequently, Hajime Katoki explicitely refers to this source in his backstory for the MSN-001A1
Delta Plus of Mobile Suit Gundam UC(Unicorn), published in the December 2007 issue of Gundam Ace.

The third story is "fighting spirit". U.C. 0097: a pilot named Johnny with his MSZ-006 Zeta
Gundam must face the EARM, a group of terrorists (apparently supported by Neo Zeon remants) and their
fearsome mobile armor Leiurus.
If this episode is linked with Gundam Evolve 9 (which seems quite reasonable, also considering
that both date to 2006), then the protagonist can be the same "Johnny" intended to be the original
pilot of the MSZ-006-P2/3C Zeta Gundam P2/3C Type. Furthermore, it's interesting to note that the
callsign of the guy from MS Graphica is "Lightning", so one can speculate that he is actually
Johnny Ridden, albeit no official confirmation of this is known so far.
In any case, the story features also a cameo of the FD-03 Gustav Karl from the U.C. 0105 novel
Hathaway's Flash (but its aspect is based on the G-Generation version), so I think that the
roll-out year of MS is indeed in U.C.0097 or early.

Notes:
I personally would treat the three stories as separate indexes; indeed, the book can be
considered as a compilation. However, here I list their mecha under a single heading, both for the sake
of easiness and also because of a "conceptual analogy" with Gundam Evolve.

All the linked pictures come from the book pages and are mostly intended to show how
the various mechas are represented in MS Graphica; for the non-original ones (i.e. nearly all,
except Delta Gundam and Leiurus), please use the already-available images.


Earth Federation Forces/ Titans

FD-03 Gustav Karl
Unit type: mass production general purpose mobile suit
Notes: this MS assists the Zeta Gundam in Earth's orbit before and after its battle with the Leirurus.

MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam
Unit type: prototype attack use transformable mobile suit
Notes: appearance-wise this MS is identical to the one piloted by Kamille during the Gryps conflict, but probably
it's a physically different unit.

Vehicles and Support Units

Works Ele-car
Notes: this type of trailer, already seen in episode 2 of Z Gundam (as well as in Gundam ZZ and various episodes of Gundam 0083),
is made by the Yashima Heavy Industrial co., Mirai's family company.
Here you can also see the damaged RX-178 with the designation "04" on its shoulder.

MSN-001 Delta Gundam
Unit type: prototype transformable attack use mobile suit
Notes: in the MS Graphica book no model number is provided for this MS. The one reported here was first introduced in the Gundam Ace Fix column.

MSN-00100 Hyaku Shiki
Unit type: prototype attack use mobile suit
Notes: The second image linked below shows the possible color choices for this MS; among them, the most interesting is the red hue
(on the left), which recalls two other red Hyaku Shiki-related models. One is the MSN-00100 Type 100 Kai, introduced in Model
Graphix' Gundam Wars Project Z, page 69 (ten years before MS Graphica), while the second one is the brand new
MSZ-000 Zero Shiki, featuring in the current Mobile Suit Z Gundam Define manga by Hiroyuki Kitazume (published on Gundam Ace Vol. 126,
dated February 2013). Even if they're clearly absent in MS Graphica, I provide a picture for both of them.

Mobile Weapons

Unit type: mobile armor
Notes: this new mobile armor resembles a scorpion, and in fact, zoologically speaking, its name designates a genus of arachnids belonging to the family Buthidae.
This machine is stated to have a total length of 93,5m and a height of 20,2m; it mounts an I-Field generator for shielding purposes.

Sorry, but I think it should be Core Piglet, which fits more exactly the original katakana コア・ピグレット [KOA PIGURETTO].
Furthermore, it makes quite sense when you think that Gullinbursti is the name of a wild boar in Norse mythology

Geez, my trusty mouse start to act weird (making the cut out harder than it should be). I guess it's time to lets it retire.
