Gundam Discussion - Twilight Axis

[Edelweiss]

Zeta was missing them too. But they're working now, so whatever. lol

You had one job, Banrise..

On the Gunpla front, the MG hype train has been dead silent in regards to April and May (June is the Turn X). We don't know much else beyond that, although I guess we can probably figure on the Banshee Norn and FA Unicorn OVA Ver. (Ver. Ka. derped and didn't use include the moulded head vulcans) somewhere close to Ep. 7.

We'll probably see HGUC releases for the Ga-Zowmn and Zssa in Sleeves markings (and then ZZ versions later). Depending on what was done with the Tennyson Fleet/the Republic of Zeon, maybe we'll see HGUCs for the Hi-Zack, Hi-Zack Custom and EWAC Zack in RoZ markings. It's probably just online exclusive-ville as a long shot at best, but maybe the MG Hi-Zack would get some new parts and decals thrown in to finally give us a MG Hi-Zack Custom and/or EWAC Zack.

As for less-founded speculation, if they're going to draw on even more of the previous Neo Zeon MS, the Bawoo and Schuzrum Dias are probably good candidates to plausibly show up amongst the collective Zeon force. The former due to it being a fairly heavily produced and versatile, transformable MS, and the latter due to the fact that the RoZ probably didn't throw all of them into that squad Satou led in ZZ (ontop of being a fairly simple conversion of the venerable Rick Dias, and Anaheim being Anaheim).

I've only seen Zeta and ZZ once -- figured this will be a good chance to rewatch them (assuming they get them working correctly..).

Biggest thing for ZZ is that it means official subs. Thankfully Zeta had both official subs and dubs done about 10 years back (so they're probably reusing the subs again).

For next week's episode:

Spoiler: show

Is the guy Yuki's fighting his rival from when he was a kid in the manga?

[Insanecyclone]

[Tarage]

I've caught up now, except for the latest episode.

Aina(Aila) is totally filling the roll of Four Murasame isn't she?

[Mrbeansman]

Yeah but Four was one of the best female characters in Zeta which is really saying something.

[Tarage]

Just watched the episode.

I... think I love Aila more now. She's adorable.

[Insanecyclone]

[Edelweiss]

No Mr. Sazabi?



No long-run preview trailer for Ep. 7 until April; one more short preview in March. Next round of MS reveals (minus cameos) in about two weeks or so.

[Serra]

I know they have time to fit it in, but I really want this show to go on for another season. Preferably with Sei building new suits, not just adding to the SBS.

Definitely popular enough all around, and don't be shocked if it does get another season down the road between major/serious business series. But with Episode 7 and The Origin on the near and far horizon, they'll probably be carefully riding the hype train and currently airing series saturation rollercoaster. Getting people thirsty for dat Unicorn and Origin, etc.

Plus there's that coming announcement, though everyone expects it to be (fucking finally) confirmation of The Origin's airing. At least we have a whole slew of unknown MG slots (aside from June; Turn X) and probably fuckloads of HG--s.

And online exclusive kits (lol).

[Edelweiss]

By the way, those Galbaldy Betas in use by the regular Federation forces during early-mid Zeta apparently did not merely get scrapped/retired in full; the Republic of Zeon supposedly picked up a decent number of these and the somewhat small amount of remaining ReGelgs from the Axis Zeon following the First Neo Zeon War. Presumably they still have their OYW-vintage Rick Doms too, along with the Musais that didn't get sunk during Operation Apollo (Zeta).

So I guess add them to the plausible candidates for Ep.7 cameos at least..

[Insanecyclone]

Yeah so recent haul today: UC Gundam game on PS3, SEED Battle Destiny on vita otw, Gasaraki, that grey gm002 panel line marker, and Pacific Rim the novel. Didn't go with that black marker because I don't want to dalong tier my gunpra.

edit: I like how all the menus are in english in the UC PS3 game.

Good stuff (minus that CE shit, the fuck mang? lol).



The gold markings are stickers, and the large heat hawk is a remold of the old one that came with Ramba Ral's Zaku I but with slots for the hand peg.

[Cleverness]

SEED games tend to be pretty good, I remember the Omni vs Zaft one on the PSP being decent.

Yeah but Four was one of the best female characters in Zeta which is really saying something.

Aila has had more development than probably any female in AGE, which is sad cause this series isn't really a super serious one. I like how they've been handling everything in this anime so far, hopefully ithey do a 2nd season sometime in the future.

[Serra]

I really hate P-Bandai exclusives.. Especially the price -- I really wanted a Regenes...

Only good part is getting to play as Rau and being able to violate Beam Spam/Assrun/Shitt.

Worst thing is that you're right. AGE really was a hunk of shit. lol

Wouldn't be so bad if we didn't have to middleman it, there weren't quantity restrictions, and the prospect of only getting a single production run (though some prove popular enough to do multiples of, see: Crossbone X-2 and X-3).

That's what fucks us on the otherwise comperable (to the regular releases, anyway) price.

By the way, original B-Club 1/100 Den'an Gei and Ebirhu-S kits found by Tatsu Hobby on my behalf. These are so fucking rare. lol

These two complete my first Crossbone Vanguard collection (in 1/100). ids habbiding

[Mrbeansman]

Finished my HG Qubeley Papillon the kit uses 3 runners from the HGUC Qubeley which gives it a nice custom Gunpla feel. I just hope it gets a MG down the line.
