As amazing as that whole fight was, killing Desil off was such a bad move since they haven't been able to replace him with an acceptable crazy guy on the bad side(Ezelcant is so poorly written at this current point in time). Most Gundam series have the rival(Zeheart) and the crazy person who just wants to do crazy things uninhibited. 00 had Ali, Seed has Rau(although rival here kinda changes abit since Athrun does change sides eventually), Turn A had Gym.

That and Old Man Desil vs Old Man Flit in a fitted AGE-1 would be awesome.

**Cleverness** · 2012-08-25 18:52

...is that supposed to be a new Crossbone manga? Please say its photoshop

**Edelweiss** · 2012-08-25 19:26

It's Ghost, and those are the Thoucus Special Forces (and they're all Newtypes).

The Zong is omitted, but otherwise they're mostly there (excluding the other MS that we only know as TC-?? for now).

Via Balofo over at MAHQ:

A)EMS-TC-05 Galahad: wired I-field claw, claw can be launched

D)EMS-TC-04 Desphys:
-Melee unit. Appears to have the same mouth exhaust as the Crossbones.
-Armaments: Beam Guns located on hands center. Beam Fangs(3 emmiters) that function as Beam Sabers, Beam Shield and Beam Rotor.

Well I guess its a good thing I stopped reading Crossbone when I did.

**Edelweiss** · 2012-08-25 19:40

The circus-theme that Thoucus has is likely another one of those things they'll tone down for the animation. It doesn't really help that the artist's style is probably the main cause of most negative reactions (and we both know that shit is among the first things that an animated series would dump).

I guess what I mean is, just enjoy the story, and try to envision the MS and ships as though Katoki or whomever did the ships for 00/UC. It'll make you feel alittle better, atleast.

**Edelweiss** · 2012-08-25 23:39

CG Art model on display at C3; the actual kit will look like that, and based on the panel lines hidden within the seams between parts it should have great articulation (given that it's neither a transforming MS like the Zeta, or "transforming" like the Unicorn).

If the multi-shade white stays in the actual kit i'll probably tone it down (atleast not so starkly grey-white anyway).

You don't want to fuck with a Gundam with abs

**Insanecyclone** · 2012-08-26 18:36

robert has been posting stuff from chara hobby

**Edelweiss** · 2012-08-26 19:23

AGE really is awful. Well, whatever, atleast we're one episode closer to the end of this shit.

**Edelweiss** · 2012-08-27 01:05

Not really anything noteworthy, but it just occurred to me today while working on an old 1/100 Heavygun kit that Crossbone getting animated means the G-Cannon, Heavygun, Jamesgun, and Javelin will actually get more screentime. Coincidentally, I have a feeling those Anaheim Silhouette Formula MS (the G-Cannon Magnas and Hardyguns at the very least) would get their time too; if only because it gives alittle variety (and makes for minor differences to a mass-production model that lead to another model kit variant).

If they go do F90 and redo F91 to set the second century up (and to recover from AGE dropping a colony on the franchise), it seems like Annamarie and Birgit will survive this time based on the sentiments of current management types like Shin Sasaki. If nothing else the animated version of Crossbone has a role for them (and others from those pre-Crossbone stories).

There's also that stuff about Tomino's new project tenatively titled "G-Reiko", but it sounds like it's another Turn-A-Gundam sort of thing (so set course for awesome). It'll probably end up as an OVA in afew years (or a TV series after Crossbone... or The Origin).

So, looks like Destiny is going to get that HD remaster; The Origin will not be airing anytime soon and Unicorn is carrying the franchise right now. So, if Shitestiny is even mildly successful as a HD remaster, it'll likely help clear out the wreckage of AGE. It's going to probably turn out in the same manner the SEED one is heading towards... so don't expect too much.

Also, nightmares:
