Old Gundam profile corrections

[Gundam Enzyklopadist]

Well i must report something that made me curious:

the recent update of the MSV-R sections is very welcome, but it lists the new designs of the FF-6 TIN Cod and FF-S3 Saberfish. In their GundamAce publication they are labeled as MSV Standart not MSV-R, so i suggest a correction

Just thought you ought to know, the review for episode 33 of G Gundam is the same as for episode 32, so you have a gap there.

[Rogue Leader]

Don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but I was looking through the main Gundam Mecha Profile section, which was recently converted to 2.0, and realized that "Mecha Designers' Variations" is missing page links. I don't think its always been that way, but correct me if I'm wrong. Just making sure nothing got forgotten in the rush to update.

[Chris]

There are no page links missing. Mecha Designers' Variations is the category for the two subcategories below it.

[Rogue Leader]

Thanks for the explanation, but you should probably make that more apparent by underlining it or something similar. As of now it just looks like an empty category.

I noticed that in the 00 Movie section theres two errors:

1. The ELS never took the shape of a Volga-class - at least not on screen.

2. The 'shield' of the GN-XIII Colony Corp Type is actually a shield binder for the GN-XIV Regular Type.

Hope this is the right place considering 00 isn't exactly 'old' just yet.

According to the recent book "Mobile Suit Gundam Ships & Aerospace Plane Encyclopedia", the aircraft from 08th MS Team which on the current MAHQ profile is designated as "Military Transport Craft" is named Dora (many thanks to balofo for providing the raw scans!)

[Deacon Blues]

Corrections to the Gundam 00 section:

- Lab Transport should be Transport Ship
- VTOL Craft should be VTOL Aircraft
- VTOL Plane should be VTOL Airplane

UNION
- Carrier Plane should be Union Large-Scale Transport Plane (with MS compliment of 2)
- Warship should be Union Cruiser (Overall length 200m and Armaments of linear cannon, other)
- Transport Ship should be Union Landing Ship (Overall length approx 100m, armaments of linear-type anti-aircraft machine guns. MS compliment is 4)
- MS Carrier should be Union Sea Aircraft Carrier

HUMAN REFORM LEAGUE
- EDI-40-II Laohu should be EDI-402 Laoho (MS compliment of 12)
** There is also one called the Armed Laoho. MS compliment for this is also 12

UN/FEDERATION
- Guyana class should be Guiana-class Mothership (armaments are 10m-class laser cannons, GN Missiles, other)

More updates for other series later =D

On Union Flag Orbit Package Astro Work Type page, the Cruise mode lineart is same with Colony Guard type's. But it isn't, noting the humanid hand.

[Strike Zero]

Minor query: since official Romanizations have indicated that the name of the MS-09G was actually "Dwadge" instead of "Dowadge," should the MS-10 Pezun Dowadge receive a similar name change?

[Chris]

We don't know that the Pezun Dowadge's name is supposed to be spelled similarly, which is why for now I've left it as-is.

The title of the Rick Dias page says "RGM-79R (RMS-179) GM II".

[Strike Zero]

Couple of things: the page title for the Gundam Mark III reads "MSN-00100 Hyaku Shiki," and the page and profile for the Hizack Custom are titled "PMX-000 Messala."

[Cardi Doorl]

Little typo I noticed at the end of the RMS-108 Marasai's historical notes:

...and later on by Zeon remnants in and attack on Australia's Torrington Base in UC 0096.

[Strike Zero]

The page title for the Chivvay reads "RX-139 Hambrabi."

[Fritz Ashlyn]

Earlier I stumbled across a note about the Gundam Pixie pilot listed as "Bork Cry" on that suit's page that says "名前の由来はロシア語でオオカミを意味するВолкから。"

If it comes from the Russian word then it should be Volk Cry instead of "Bork" the way I've seen it all these years.

Not really a correction, but the upcoming HGUC GM Sniper II revealed that its sniper rifle is 75mm.

[AmuroNT1]

Sorry for the double, but Zabanya's info is currently just a copy-paste of Dynames Repair's. Here's the correct info:

Unit type: long-range sniper mobile suit
Overall height: 18.0 meters
Base weight: 86.9 metric tons
Equipment: GN Drive, Haro x 2
Armament: GN holster bit (GN pistol bit/GN rifle bit II) x 10~14, 3-tube GN missile pod (GN micromissile) x 20
Pilot: Lockon Stratos (aka Lyle Dylandy)
Mechanical designer: Takayuki Yanase

[AmuroNT1]

Again, sorry for the multi-post, but the Hyaku-Shiki's beam rifle lineart has a bad link. The current link is "http://www.mahq.net/lineart/msn-00100-beamrifle.jpg", when the lineart is actually located at ".../mecha/gundam/z/lineart/msn-00100-beamrifle.jpg"

Imperial Rig Shokew!

The old section lists it under the registry number ZM-S22G, with ZM-S22SC as an alternative. So now that it's shown up in Build Fighters Try, it's be re-listed as just ZM-S22G.

In terms of the naming conventions, that G would imply it's a suit built for use on Earth, which is peculiar if it's just a Rig Shokew with some extra weapons attached. Even more so when it's primarily shown operating in space. The V Gundam website lists it as just ZM-S22S like the base unit. MS Illustrated, when it even includes it, doesn't give it a registry. At least one guidebook (Newtype 100% Collecton) lists it as ZM-S22SC, which would resemble the relationship between the Zolo (ZM-S08G) and Zolo Kai (ZM-S08GC) for minor customizations.

My suspicion is that the S22G stems from an error in the Dengeki Entertainment Bible, which inconsistently calls the base Rig Shokew S22S in the color portion in the front, and then later S22G in the lineart in the back. That looks to stem from it being placed alongside the Shokew in the first volume, and someone carrying over the G from that.

On another note, the armaments!

The profile on both the website and in the aforementioned Newtype 100% lists three beam string emitters, which are shown to be in the head and both feet (both in the show and in this lineart). The listing also differs from the Zoloat in that it reads ビーム・ストリングス×３ (beam strings x 3) rather than the Zoloat's ５連ビーム・ストリング (5 barrel beam string). So it's not so much three barrels as three separate emitters.

The beam sabers are stored in the hips, in racks pointing down, as shown here.

The shield is interesting. It's listed as 大型シールド（ビーム・シールド兼用、ビーム・ガン×２内蔵）. Aside from this mentioning the two built in beam-guns, it also mentions a (combined? combination?) beam shield. The arm beam shield is listed separately, so it's not entirely clear to me what this refers to.

I will note the structure of the upper, shoulder-docking portion resembles very much that of the Zoloat's shoulder beam shield, and if it did produce from that point, it'd almost exactly mirror the solid shield in coverage on the opposing side. But that's entirely conjecture on my part.
