I love these things. I use 'em as desktops. I want to make sure I have all of them. Post 'em, /m/ateys!

You can do better than that.
Any Zeonography ones?
>>14368577
Not natively /m/, but is there somewhere I can buy these as proper posters? These would make a kick-ass calendar or something similar.
>>14369859
They were foldouts in issues of Hobby Japan and Dengeki Hobby magazines, so you could find some in back issues of those...
Katoki is my favorite mecha designer, but these are such a visual mess to me
>>14369914
A bunch of these are from toy packaging too.

Argh, I'd love to find a high-quality version of this one.
Why does Katoki keeps getting contracted to redesign other people's stuff?
>>14371498
>Why does Katoki keeps getting contracted to redesign other people's stuff?
Because he's really fucking good at it.
Speaking of Katoki, apparently there's a Virtual-On manga starting up. It features some spiffy Virtualoid variants, including the MC's custom Cypher, the Bluestalker.

About 99% of what Katoki redesigns is Okawara's work. The old man is great at gimmicks, but he's a rotten draftsman.
>>14371507
Pic related.
>>14371498
He's the one in charge of Bandai's model design so chances are if Bandai is making a toy of it then Katoki is the one designing the model. He's even listed as working on the primary model design for the majority of Bandai's Star Wars model kits.
>>14371507
And because Okawara really needs people to tighten up his designs.
>>14371529
>He's even listed as working on the primary model design for the majority of Bandai's Star Wars model kits.
I guess that's why the proportions of the Revive kits have been so perfect, no Katoki around to fuck shit up. Thank you based Naoki

Sentinel had terrible luck. It's a very popular design.

I never noticed how Z Plus Hummingbirds' shoulders are all unarmoured and stripped down like that. This is pretty neat and dare I say a little, ahem, erotic.
Kinda makes me want to see a Superior Gundam that looked more like the Z-Plus. instead of a combination of the Zeta and and ZZ as the feminine would fit its whole sentient learning AI shtick a lot more.
>>14373021
Yeah, the shoulders are all bare like that so that the arms can collapse inside the boosters for MA mode, like here >>14369143
The world needs a Sentinel anime, like, very badly.

Is there one for the novel ver. of Banshee?
>>14375540
>novel ver. of Banshee
What's the difference?
And, more importantly, was there a Katoki-designed toy of it? If not, there wouldn't be.
I'm wondering if there's one for the Fenex Unicorn.

>>14375638
>What's the difference?
Novel Banshee doesnt have the gold around the collar and doesnt used any Armed Armors, just the same equipment Unicorn does.
most HG and MG Banshee kits come with the original Unicorn parts so you can still build them to the novel specs if you really care.
>>14375638
>I'm wondering if there's one for the Fenex Unicorn.
Fenix wasnt in the original novels, it was added later in those CGI videos at Gundam Front Tokyo and then some other book/manga.

Not by Katoki, but certainly done in his style.
A Katoki poster from back in the day -- ah, Sentinel...
>>14373695
Maybe on bizarro earth where gundam eras with great designs got good animes but sadly we live on earth and its the opposite.
I hate banrise or whoever decides new gundams for constantly creating new AU instead of expanding in UC timeline. Would love to see sentinel, advance of zeta, and crossbone get animated
>>14382489

>I hate banrise or whoever decides new gundams for constantly creating new AU instead of expanding in UC timeline. Would love to see sentinel, advance of zeta, and crossbone get animated
Well, to be fair, they've been doing both for a while now. I think it started back in 1991 with the "Double G Project", when 0083 and F91 were released right next to each other -- 0083 was for UC classicists, F91 was for newcomers. Then they stuck mostly to AUs for a while, but lately we've been getting AU tv shows and UC OAVs pretty consistently -- The Origin, Unicorn, Thunderbolt, all coming out as OAVs while more AUs come out at TV shows.
You just gotta look at the AUs as not really even Gundam -- just new Real(ish) Robot shows. If made today, Vifam and Layzner and Dragonar would have been called Round Vernian Gundam, SPT Gundam, and Metal Armor Gundam.
>>14369940
Katoki a shit, Okawara a shit, and now Ebikawa a shit. The only mecha designer worth a fuck is Nagano you plebs.
Fuck Syd Mead! He's an overrated hack!
>>14376723

B-but recon and support with a giant pincer!Nah, I'm pretty bewildered by it too.
>>14383835
>>14384067
There's evidence in the Zeta novels to support the idea that the Pallas Athene and the Bolinork Samahn, as well as The O, were equipped with Biosensors. Theoretically, the three could be networked via Psyco-Waves to function as a strike team: recon and scanning, long-range artillery, and close assault. The novels also say the Hambrabi has a Biosensor.
Regardless, I agree as well that the Bolinork Samahn is, aesthetically, a total head-scratcher.

For all the charisma Paptimus had, he wasn't really leader material. The guy couldn't even assemble a decent elite force despite all the resource and manpower available to him.

Not sure that's true. He enthralled female soldiers and made them his bitches/dust squad... plus he had Yazan.
>>14388020
Zealoutry doesn't always make for a good soldier. A single ace can't make up for a well trained squad.
Imagine if Scirocco was able to assemble another Yazan team. He'd be invincible.
