It wasok at best. I liked strain better. And buddy complex better.
You have made it all the way to the world finals. Congratulations, anon! However..
Your rival snuck into your hotel room and trashed your gunpla before the final battle! With only 24 hours to go and no Gundams to use things are looking dire. How will you compete now? Then you remember that grunt suit you had in your backlog..
[RULES]
Any 1/144 scale non-Gundam, non-unique grunt suit (example: Stark Jegan) must be used for this build. As an exception, you can put any unique upgrades or armaments on it, but no more than three at one time. (For example, you could have a full body psycho frame, Zero system and a Trans-am.) Anything that falls within the GBF universe is fair game as well.
Finally, pick the country you are representing on the world stage. The winner will decide who will rule the Gunpla world for the next four years!
Now go on anon, show us how you'll bring home victory.

The Bawoo is not Unique to Glemy Toto, so I use that and some shittily written plavsky hax to fine tune it into the Puwoo, giving it an orange glossy finish the color of Puru's hair.

If true, too little, too late.
-Top is the flashback Snow White(Proto Zero). Just a recolor
-Bottom is the MC Snow White. A white version of the GOL Wing Zero redesign but with new shoulders and the wing feathers connected by nanomachines.
Kits when?
>>13636698
That shit is a worthy successor to Zero EW
Great colors. No overplayed red, white and blue.
How the fuck do those wings work? Nanomachines connect them?
>>13636717
How do you make a kit for a suit that has wings that aren't even physically connected to the unit? Katoki is a madman and I love him.

>How do you make a kit for a suit that has wings that aren't even physically connected to the unit?
You find a way, of course.
What's the point in making the Death Star bigger than it already is? It already destroys planets. There is just no reason.
>>13662936
It's a metaphor for the franchise.
>>13662936
Now it can destroy several planets at once, instead of only one at a time, duh.
Because now it can destroy half a dozen planets in one shot without having to park itself near them.
So why has Sentai been so boring yet Rider has been pretty engaging?

How?
What were your guys thoughts?
Is this Alternate UC or just UC? I can't really tell.
There were a few moments where I said "neat" and just had to rewind. Im pleased with it so far for a first episode. The main pilot, Io seems like a ver cocky person. Totally different from other MCs. It's not to say I dislike, but its not what I would prefer either. I like the calm and cool 'Mwu La Flaga' character types, but this is what we're stuck with.
>>13666385
It's Alternate UC.
I personally wasn't all that impressed. The action was fine, but everything else was just "ok".

>YO: I’m humbled [laugh]. I think in that sense Thunderbolt started off in a very fortunate position. Just as the lack of attention given the first Gundam TV series allowed it some freedom, my Gundam series is on a unique platform with Shogakukan’s Superior, so it’s not as tied down. In the beginning, I told them that I wanted to be able to work freely, even if that meant it wasn’t part of the Gundam canon, and they told me I could do what I want. However, that makes it difficult to adapt into anime and Gundam models... I suppose [laugh].
>CS: So it wasn’t that they approached you and said, “Do it at this point in the Universal Century calendar.”
>YO: It’s a bit off from the so-called “correct history,” but I did that on purpose [laugh]. I started off on the sidelines without much attention, which actually allowed some freedom as I wrote and I didn’t have to defend myself, so I decided to change what I wanted, and I think it was good that I could start that way. Being in that position is similar to how it was for the first Gundam, so I’ve been happy with it.
>I went in without reading manga
what was up with glasses boy handing out tissues? is he the main characters friend? also it would appear that main character was in a relationship with the cute captain. also when do the space monks show up?
It's that time of the year again

.. so, when will the streaming start?
anyone?
>>13658963
Ah yes, the annual muh burgers posting marathon.
It's the most wonderful time of the year.
ITT Mention something positive about a show you dislike.
I was actually surprised that Mobile Armours returned in SEED Destiny. In the context of C.E it makes complete sense that the EA invests and relies on the new MA.
Kamille, Bright and Fa. Also that scene where ja dough makes hammin cry.
Gundam Seed and Destiny have a lot of porn.

I think SDF Macross showed Valkyrie model kits with the Tamiya(?) logo on them in one episode, if that counts.
Was Vifam the series with the giant "Bandai" container?
>>13666055almost every single one
Well fuck. I was absolutely loving this but the ending was pretty shit. Dissapointed to learn the movie isn't a continuation but rather just a retelling.
Absolutely godtier soundtrack holy shit. Episode where Escaflowne gets repaired is the best ep. Shit the animation was incredibly good too.
But man that ending was a let down. Feel like they went with the ending just because they wanted to make it bittersweet. There was literally zero reason for Hitomi to go back, thematically or plot wise.
The ending was great.
>There was literally zero reason for Hitomi to go back, thematically or plot wise
1 - she went back to her family
2 - putting Gaia behind is symbolism for growing up by letting go of escapism and accepting to deal with reality

That's what bothered you about Escaflowne's ending? Not the literal, deus ex machina happening when the writers suddenly realize that they're out of time and budget and just have a wizard magically fast-forward all remaining plot threads to their abrupt conclusions?
>>13649468
>Episode where Escaflowne gets repaired is the best ep.
The fight at the end fucking traumatized me as a kid.
Why is this show so great? Every single episode I've had a great time. Great robots, nice fights, Jiron is awesome, the whole shebang's had me smiling.
Xabungle thread?
I personally believe Xabungle is one of the best put-together /m/ shows out there. It's pretty much always the same level of rock solid the whole way throughout, and is enjoyable to watch.
HAYATE NO YO NIIII
>>13665088
It's because you don't actually have to take Tomino's writing seriously whenever you watch it, unlike all his other shows.
Sometimes, I wish there were more lighthearted adventure /m/ shows like Xabungle, Gorg, and Conan than MUH SERIOUS WAR DRAMA that everyone here seems to jerk off to.
Let's talk reflector bits, like those deployed by the Psyco Gundam Mk.II, the Ex-S Gundam, and the Shamblo. They're capable of reflecting beam shots fired at their "mirror," allowing units deploying them to attack targets from oblique angles.
Based on their design, it looks like this reflection is done by some sort of field generated by the bit, as opposed to a material "mirror" (ie the Hyaku Shiki's paintjob). Indeed, the Ex-S Gundam's specs say that its reflector bits use I-fields.
My question: If the tech exists to squeeze a beam-reflecting field generator inside a bit -- which are as large relative to MS as a hockey puck is to a grown man -- why aren't these mounted in the armor or shields of every MS made after that point? The MAs have the excuse of increased size and generator output to charge these bits in addition to their own I-fields, but the Ex-S shows that you could get them to work on an MS-sized frame, especially considering the increased size and power output of MS from 0088 onward.
The real answer is obvious -- because Gundam is a work of fiction, and its designs are based more on aesthetics and visual storytelling than internal tech consistency -- but I want to hear the obsessive tech pedant answer. I honestly love these discussions.
To applicably place these everywhere on an MS's body would be very difficult and likely expensive. It has to be remembered that things like the Pscyo were pretty big one-offs.
There's got to be a lot of money going into the things. A LOT.
>>13663663
Yeah, I think that's the main limitation. Reflector Bits have really small coverage, they pretty much only work as point defense. Covering an entire suit in them would take so many generators as to be cost and manufacturing time prohibitive.
I always thought they would be kind of finicky compared to a traditional I-field. Needed to be tuned for that sweet mirror effect. That's fine when it's part of a limited production run special model that probably comes with additional budget for specialised maintenance, maybe not so much for general use.
Speaking of maintenance, it's probably easier when they're discrete units, but that isn't a slam dunk or anything.
Reflector bits are also part of a design brief, so they're built with an intended purpose. With the Psyco and Shambloo it was for improved non-LOS saturation bombardment. It's not something just tacked on.
That's my take, anyway.
