***READ THE GUIDE***
For those new to gunpla/plamo or even just new to this thread; please read the guide. Please read it before asking questions as there is a chance it has already been answered there.
For those unfamiliar, "plamo" is a shortened form of "plastic model". If it's made of plastic, someone can probably help you here.
If you're new, you're gonna fuck up. Don't worry! If you're experienced, don't make the new people worry!
>Why won't anyone answer my question?
Try being specific, especially about your materials and process. Post pictures whenever possible; even if the kit/part looks bad, you are more likely to get help posting pictures.

Our next Group Build!
Field Repair
Basically what this means is that rather than the mobile suit being fresh out of a factory, it's quite the opposite. Whether it's trudging through dense jungles or dodging debris in asteroid belts, your mobile suit has seen some better days.
You've been out in the field for quite a long time now, nearly half a year of active duty in the front lines and your personal mobile suit's pretty banged up. What's worse is the fact that there isn't a maintenance bay within several thousand kilometers of your local area that's capable of making any major repairs. Your unit's engineering crew has resorted to patch work and jury-rigging to keep your machine operational. Stray fire might have crippled its legs and arms or otherwise dealt considerable damage to a mobile suit's systems meanwhile some units have simply lost bits of armor and panels to the elements and have been forced to patch weld metal sheets over the exposed inner workings.
In any case it's beaten to hell but somehow you and your team have somehow kept it chugging along and now command's ordered all units operating in your theatre to fall back to form a defensive line against the enemy offensive.

The only source I'm finding is Junichi Kanemaru confirming it on his twitter.
Well then, this makes my post in another thread extremely awkward.

If a video game were to feature a Sentai-styled character as one of the main cast, what sorts of attacks would you like to see that character use?
Would it be mostly unarmed combat-type, or using weapons? Or elemental attacks, such as seen in Shinkenger, etc.
>>13902506
I'd love to see shit like them calling out the names of their weapons and using some kind of team cannon like attack as their super.
0083 isshit.
Yes but it is very pretty and to people on /m/, that's literally all that matters
You could have feces as main characters but as long as the robots look really pretty while doing it, it's good
>>13900068
>You could have feces as main characters
This might be more interesting than 0083
Nina Purpleton is the worst character in the UC, carrot boy is the worst Protag, and Gato is a weak Char.
About to start the entirety of Robotech.
What should I expect?
Nothing good.
>>13895870
If you've seen the source material:
Macross pretty much unchanged, but dubbed. Macross fans are, for some reason, incredibly butthurt about this to this day.
Southern Cross significantly changed and rendered even more nonsensical. It's pretty thoroughly mangled to fit conflicting shows onto both the beginning and end of it.
Mospeada is basically Mospeada, but dubbed. Changes bothered me more than the Macross changes, but I like Mospeada more so that's probably just my fanboyism acting up.
Sentinels is somewhat interesting just because it's the only glimpse we have of the three eras interacting with each other and how Harmony Gold would have gone about creating their own saga. It's pretty dull except as a curiosity.
Shadow Chronicles is pretty much what you'd expect from a straight-to-dvd animated movie. It's mainly a bunch of nothing. The best thing that I can say about it is that it's almost new Mospeada content.
>>13895870
A bit of a story mess, and bad fucking video quality.
Basically a crummy re edit of three shows that are better on their own.
How much thrust would they have needed to stop the descent of Axis? Pretend for a moment that there were no new type shenanagins
How many mobile suits would Amuro need helping him out?
They would have needed the thrusts on Axis and probably then some.
>>13906766
What about slowing it then?
Could they slow it to the point damage is minimal?
It all depends on when you apply it. The sooner, the less you need. Past a certain point though (and they were pretty far past this point for most of the movie), there was literally no real-world force that would have been able to stop Axis without shattering it and making the problem worse.
Gundam IBO episode 20
>there are more events off-screen than in the actual episode
>>13903487
So biscuit will finally bite it next episode? Yeah I know none one die in IBO, but the few that had die were made incredibly obvious, like Shino I’m sure Ein will kill him after his cyborg augmentation just to show he is a threat
so what happened in the episode? currently downloading it.
>>13903719
The old man they were trying to meet end up been powerless, so now they must escort him to a meeting so he may not be powerless any more or something like that, Biscuit brother kill himself, Ein will become a cyborg and the orphans dislike seafood
So this new carrier design's pretty sweet.
There was a lot of TIE bomber action this week actually.
>Stopped watching this show on ep 6 when it was airing.
>Decided to give it another shot.
>Got to ep 8 when I realized I was correct the first time.
Why is this show so fucking painful to sit through? It's like Tomino was trying to make me hate mecha as a genre in it's entirety.
>>13894127
Congrats OP, you've just successfully made a 300+ reply thread! I hope you're proud!
>>13894136
Well, um, ok.
Does the show get any better? Should I just skip to a certain ep where things start making sense?
I really do want to like this show.
I just started playing some online matches in Full Boost and I was wondering: why there are so many players using only unicorn and banshee?
What's their appeal? Why those units seems to be the "cheap shots" ms of this game?
Apart the fact that I clearly suck in 2v2 due to lack of experience I still can't get a grip on why so many players looks like retarded idiots abusing something I don't get.
Second, why does it seems that most experienced players (aka everyone who still plays) have always boost meter avaiable to dodge when I'm dodging/boosting away exactly like everyone else and end with downtimes/can't dodge even with some boost?
Can anyone explain?
>>13879653
My guess is either they're top tier units or are easy to use and provide a bit of everything (which would make them top tier either way).
>>13879653
Well for your first question, FA Unicorn and Banshee Norn are pretty much the 'ezmode' suits, their movesets and weapons are powerful and have very good tracking, allowing more mistakes during fights. You could be pretty mediocre at the game and still do pretty well playing with either of those units.
And for your second question, boost management is key. You've probably noticed a lot of people stay very close to the ground, boosting in short bursts around the map. They do that so they can cover long distances but still have enough boost to dodge and jump
>>13880002
>boost management is key.
This, so much.
Run out of boost and you're a sitting duck for a second or so, long enough for someone to combo you.

Why Dougram is more intense than actual /m/ shows?
Remake when?
>>13828047
>actual /m/ shows
What the fuck is this supposed to mean. Is /m/ not mecha all of a sudden?
Remake never. You can enjoy the modern Max Factory kits or Revoltech action figures of some of the Combat Armors though.
The Dougram, Alternate Dougram, Soltic, Blockhead, Ironfoot, and Native Dancer are all out from MF. I think a Bushman may be coming soon, as well as perhaps the "stripped down" Soltics seen just after the Bonar arc. good stuff
>>13828077
IBO is the actual gundam show with almost no action.
>>13828077
>Remake never.
At least a OVA like Votoms
