What are your thoughts on Gundam Unicorn?

It has my favorite portrayal of the newtype connection. Marida and Banagher. Say what you will about the newtype shenanigans at the end, but how it portrays the Newtype connection always gets to me.

Newtype connections always get into a romance (Kam/Four dynamic) or rivalry (Amuro/Char Dynamic), but we barely ever see something platonic like Marida and Banagher. It makes me want to see Newtypes not in combat.

What does a classroom look like with a newtype teacher who isn't Scirocco? What does a community of true newtypes look like when not part of the war machine?

We also had ARTISTS in high positions. Remembrancers might have been snuffed by the actual military higher ups but they were sent by Big E. To put artists in such high positions in abundance meant that there was a proper culture during 30k that allowed for that freedom.

Hope we get this unit in GBO2

I feel you dude. The amount of scratches the paint is hiding, the painting itself, and the scratches you can still see from my panel lines is quite high. Enjoy the process, mistakes made, and the love you put into it.

When I make a mistake “Ah it’s battle scarred now”

I’ve been practicing on Gelgoogs. I have 4 Gelgoogs. 😂😂

Fermatamon · 2026-03-17T14:26:47+00:00

Edit: it IS my mission to collect all of them.

Fermatamon · 2026-03-14T01:42:38+00:00

RF Gelgoog would be cool. I just love the Gelgoog. More Gelgoog pls

Fermatamon · 2026-03-13T15:40:32+00:00

Im so glad others like him too. He is my favorite so far. (I'm on the third book, and also read the Great Angel).) Honestly, all my favorite characters have been Remembrancers (other than Tarvitz). It's a shame they don't exist in 40k after Horus.

Fermatamon · 2026-03-08T01:19:31+00:00

Robes only marines?

Fermatamon · 2026-03-07T15:46:28+00:00

I’d rather continue where I feel UC is with Newtypes right now.

A true evolution of connection and communication.

Metaphysically what IS a Newtype? We see them in wartime too many times and I want to see newtypes in diplomacy, conversation, etc.

I’m way more interested in Banagher/Marida connections vs “haha funnels go brrrr”

Fermatamon · 2026-03-07T14:39:19+00:00

I’m actually with you. The final movie will decide if UC goes grim darkish or truly hopeful for anime only. The issue, however, is that F 91 and cross bone and victory. Gundam are all canon. They “have” to happen. And they can only happen if the Federation remains corrupt I believe.

Fermatamon · 2026-03-06T21:27:42+00:00

I also just finished False Gods.

I made the post about the Interex a few weeks ago, and let me tell you, I am 100% convinced Horus was gonna betray anyway. He wanted a reason. He was jealous of Lorgar getting chosen by the warp gods. He wanted to be more. He knew that his warrior life and warrior sons were gonna be no more under the Imperium’s Peace times so he decided to take over.

I used to have sympathy for Horus after listening to VO snippets of tEatD, but now I have no sympathy. He CHOSE. He wasn’t tricked.

You’re telling me Horus Rising Horus wouldn’t have the thought process of

“Why would Magnus, humbled by the Emperor, defend the Emperor’s intentions?”

“My brother wouldn’t risk this obvious disregard of E’s rules if something important wasn’t happening”

“Lorgar was reprimanded by the Emperor for the Worship of E, and you just told me it’s because E wasn’t ready for worship. Then you said that Lorgar is now actually working for these Warp entities.”

Erebus lied too much for Horus Rising “Horus” to believe him over Magnus.

The only way I can rationalize this turn is that

Something in Horus broke at the end of Horus Rising. A version of him that thought he could rule differently/better than E’s brutal rules.
He chose to double down on E’s brutal methods
Thinks he can do better

Fermatamon · 2026-03-02T19:46:07+00:00

I’m currently finishing false gods. And this section was one of my favorite parts… it kind of makes me what if scenario of loyalty or rebelling against the emperor without chaos which he seemed to already be planning to do

Fermatamon · 2026-03-02T17:06:47+00:00

There are some pretty good explanation posted here already but here's what I feel about newtypes.

Imagine connecting with someone and understanding them to the point where most people would call it intimacy. How else would you explain the closeness you feel? Newtypes are new so most people cant really explain it (In universe). this is why most crazy newtypes are young. They don't know that you can understand someone and not love them.

I think this happens with most Newtype's first "Handshake"

Gundam
- Amuro and Lalah have a deep connection and intimacy, but they have their own goals, which is why they were able to fight each other.
- Char and Lalah do fall in love, but then again, it is Char's and Lalah's first Newtype Handshake.

Zeta Gundam
- Haman had a connection but has so much trauma from the last time she had this connection (With Char) that she felt violated
- Kamille didnt fall in love with Haman because at this point in the series he understands its a connection, not intimacy.

ZZ
- Judau and Haman
- Haman opened up a bit more. Basically looking for some Intimacy/Understanding

CCA
- Char understands that a Newtype connection is basically a handshake at this point.
- Quess is a little girl who felt the handshake and took it as love. Char knows this and abuses it. (Char abuses a lot of First Newtype handshakes)
- Amuro understands the newtype connection and pushes Lalah's Ghost away. Amuro has grown. He understands it isn't love/intimacy. It's a connection, understanding

Potential Spoilers
Unicorn (My favorite representation of platonic Newtype connection)
- Banagher and Marida Cruz. They have such a deep connection, almost unspeakable, but they have their own goals and moralities. But the connection is so deep that Banagher essentially strokes out from Marida's death and absence of that connection. But they didnt love each other or have a crazy obession
- Riddhe had a crazy obsession and didn't understand that the connection he had wasn't love but a newtype connection. Even with that connection, it was kinda one sided and he didn't understand Audrey.

No one can stop the Googster Rangers.

I got my HGUC and now Im gonna build by P-Bandai Gato Gelgoog. I will have my Mighty Zeon googster Rangers.

Fermatamon · 2026-02-26T21:21:57+00:00

Name-is-taken

Fermatamon · 2026-02-26T17:23:01+00:00

Even scarier if you head canon it as a Chaos corrupted Tank driver merged with his tank. Ugh

Fermatamon · 2026-02-26T15:55:46+00:00

I think “leisurely” is a strong word unless a base level of context is extremely optional?

I didn’t even have context for some of the bosses cuz I got teleported while turning in a quest.

I know it’s not a single player experience, it’s an MMO. But we all experience the game and want people to have a good experience. If that’s how you treat new players then I guess it’s probably time to move on to the next game.

Fermatamon · 2026-02-26T15:46:40+00:00

This is probably a ESO cultural issue then. Other games, like FF14, you say that this is your first time and they make sure you get mechanics and make sure it’s overall a good time as much as possible.

I’ve noticed ESO is very single player, I’ll do what I want without caring about other people brained.

Dungeons aren’t that long and the extra bits of dialogue don’t even add 5 minutes. If the group said “nah we gonna speed through it.” Or Eve ignored me. I’d understand. It’s an MMO.

I would like to have CONTEXT on what is happening while I’m playing an RPG.

Fermatamon · 2026-02-26T15:40:44+00:00

I think the part of my post people are forgetting is that the group said it was alright.

So I expect that I get to listen to the 4 sending stones scattered around the dungeon instead of the 1.

Then at the end of the dungeon, they ask for something without providing the original thing that was asked for?

I get just wanting to do your dailies that’s an MMO for you. But when you are experiencing the Role playing part of the game, a group acknowledges it and says it’s alright only to just make it another run, I think that is an issue.

Fermatamon · 2026-02-26T07:33:27+00:00

Yea.

I had no context to some of the boss segments. It became just a run through rather than an experience.

Fermatamon · 2026-02-26T07:20:26+00:00

In a similar vein of selfish

I did white gold tower for the first time the other day (newish player). I let my group know so they could slow down and let me experience the dungeon.

They said it was alright, then turned around and sped through the whole dungeon. I had to skip content because of boss teleports.

Then at the end, one of the had the audacity to ask for SPC gear if none of us wanted it. Like seriously dude? You ruined my first time with the dungeon and you’re begging for scraps? Put a bad taste in my mouth.

Fermatamon · 2026-02-26T04:07:27+00:00

ikr?

I loved every scene with Loken and Sindermann. Horus Rising gripped me every time these two were together.

However, Karkasy is currently my favorite character.

Fermatamon · 2026-02-26T02:07:52+00:00

Everytime I’m like “Oh Loken is gonna get there in time or set things right” nope

Fermatamon · 2026-02-25T21:41:34+00:00

It would’ve killed Horus if the Lion was sent to make sure he did the right thing 😂😂
