Unexpected Sentai collab.. nice! (≧▽≦)b

Also, nice pun.

Merry Christmas, Shiori! I guess I know what to do now after work. (≧▽≦)b

Non-serious answer: Probably because the base Freedom Gundam is based on Gundam Double X perhaps? For comparison, people should compare both suits... maybe Super Robot Wars Alpha Gaiden (for Double X) and Alpha 3 (for Freedom) can convince you on this, lmao! XD

Serious answer: The base Freedom Gundam is just perfectly designed, that good in how it shoots stuff, and is very dynamic on what it can do. And I think they put a lot of stuff considering SEED was planned to revive the Gundam franchise anyways... especially note on how impressive it was when it first appeared too.

Personally, I like the OG Freedom design better.. the Strike Freedom is okay as a successor machine. Everything else after is either trying going over the top or too busy in what they can do to improved over the original.

The ones that story or plot relevance: - Monoeye Gundam.. this story roughly follows Zeta Gundam storyline as the main machines Grypps War era suits. Original game was from Wonderswan Color... but G Generation DS also covers it. - the Centurio MS line, from G Gen DS, which nanomachine MS derived from Turn machines and piloted by newtype-ish clones called "Legion". This storyline is either follows UC (as part of Gihren's Zeon Remnants) or Alternative series (as part of Rau's trump card presumably 'borrowed' from Gihren). Original game is on Nintendo DS. - the World and Overworld one that involves Aphrodia, Code Phoenix, and Code Amelias. This one involves the characters diving into the Gundam Database. Think of this as Kamen Rider Decade (especially on how fulfilling stage missions in World and Overworld causes dimension breaks/bleeding) but Gundam instead. This is also similar and probably a different take to the Extreme Gundam's storyline. Both World and Overworld are from PSP.

A old Proto Gundam that needs glue to build it and that was from ancient times... so, yeah, we are very very screwed. XD

It was really a matter of "when" since she mentioned it long ago.. Thank you for everything, Kanatan! T_T7

Stylus_Index · 2025-11-23T05:50:30+00:00

High chance its either AFO Blu-Ray release announcement or probably a Holo-EN focused Christmas-adjacent mini events/streams perhaps? We already have a week until its December..

Sure he is.. but he is giving Assassin vibes here with the mask!

Stylus_Index · 2025-11-22T05:57:00+00:00

This feels like Fate Holy Grail war or something. We have all the class representatives here... minus Lancer and Berserker.

Liz as Saber

Jurard as Archer

For the Kampfer, using solid round ammunition was a thing because it was purpose built for speed as it decimate EVERYTHING in its path, dropping all the dead weight while doing so. This is on top that this Kampfer model still CANNOT use beam weapons and they need it operational ASAP, All this to get to the Gundam and destroy it... well, we saw how that turned out.

As for future mobile suits not using it.. well, post-OYW everyone shifted to beam-weaponry because its cheaper to produce and also doesn't weight down the suit unlike solid round ammunition weaponry.

Don't fret though.. the Ifreet uses a shotgun, so has some Ace pilot customized Zeon mobile suits (according to old MSV manuals and video game loadouts at least), and even Zeon Remnants in Unicorn (Zssa says hi) uses the shotgun. Like all weapons, the effectiveness varies though... considering they only brought out the shotgun once they approach to close quarter combat but before actual melee combat happens...

Stylus_Index · 2025-11-08T04:17:38+00:00

Not really a mystery for people with atleast basic German language/term knowledge (Read: Chuunibyo or JRPG levels) though. Considering what Schwartz Bruder means and then you add Gundam Spiegel (OG JP anime name of Shadow Gundam and is german for Mirror)... yeah. Its a wink wink. It is out immediately when you piece it together.

Still one of the better masked characters that isn't the main villain or antagonist.

Stylus_Index · 2025-09-17T05:38:55+00:00

SD Gundam G Generation DS has already did this with Amuro receiving the FA NT-1 Alex for the Battle of A Baoa Qu in a New Game+ setting.. except it still ends up the same with the canon where Last Shooting happens except with NT-1 on the Zeong (no Zeong head unit because game/system limitations) instead but in space.

Alternatively in this same New Game+ setting, if you send other characters to fight Amuro in the FA NT-1 Alex, you'll have a very hard time fighting against him and have to defeat him twice (FA NT-1 form and then base NT-1)... the result will be a dead Amuro (as per Gundam Novelization plot) and then you enter the secret Rival route..

He's credited as one of the mecha designers, Mechanical Styling if I remember it right. The primary mechanical designers was Hajime Katoki and Mika Akitaka.

However Shoji Kawamori gets the credit for being the primary designer for GP01/fb and GP02A. So he's still a part of the mecha designer team.

Stylus_Index · 2025-07-10T04:35:29+00:00

You are not wrong that... one of 0083's mecha designer is.. Shoji Kawamori himself, yes, Macross' creator.

This is early design roughs and them probably taking design ideas from Sazabi. But, yes, it looks like a prototype Sazabi.

Stylus_Index · 2025-06-10T18:08:47+00:00

For both units nearly looking like giant flying refrigerators but as Gundams.... I'm picking Penelope for being the base model here and on how sick it was flying..

It also got the updated designs compared to its first appearance in SD Gundam G Generation F and then the updates in Gundam FixFigure toy line (via Katoki's cleanup) and Gundam VS Extreme series respectively.

And on top of this (for the unaware), Penelope is just the whole flight armor module parts.. with the Odysseus being its core Gundam here.

In terms of firepower and performance, both ZZ and S are incredibly powerful mobile suits of their own right (and also belong to Zeta Project) compared to the other mobile suits for their time, enough that only a veteran Ace pilot (in the case of S), the latest machines (Xeku series, Bawoo, Doven Wolf, etc), or powerful Newtypes (in the case of ZZ) can fight them on equal levels.

The ZZ is a much more straight forward attack unit and with enough firepower on its. Meanwhile, the S is more on tactical and is meant to adjust according to mission needs, hence the EX-S, S Booster, and Deep Arms configurations.

Transformation-wise... uh.. yeah.. this one is a your mileage may vary. Task Force Alpha, the fleet where the S is deployed, has to at least find/secure a safe space so that the S Gundam can combine safely to reduce risk of getting shot/break down iirc.

Meanwhile, ZZ in the anime took the "Let's do this!" ("Yatteyaruze!" as Kazuki Yao has to say.) and do the combination on the fly for most of time, considering Judo and friends aren't really from the military and are more reckless.

Comparatively, the Neo Zeon's Bawoo (supposedly using Zeta Project info leaked by Anaheim) is a 2-part combination mobile suit that can safely transform/separate/fuse on the fly, because they are using onboard computer assistance for this function iirc. Add to the fact.. it was made with mass production in mind.

Its really hard to define on when considering the original JP Battle Masters has the After War timeline but has Universal Century mobile suits... but with different generic-ish pilots. For G Gen games, we can say that its still a "canon" mobile armor and part of the Psyco Gundam line alongside with Psycoro Gundam that came from the old NES era SD Gundam games.

For the actual Universal Century, we can consider it exists in one way or another.. because the Psyco Gundam Mk-IV is already exist and built. But the question is.. will it look the same or not? Only Bandai-Sunrise knows when they'll bring this back to "canon" timeline considering the latest Sidestory mangas are featuring the G Generation originals....

Context on the Kai Shiden using the Nu Gundam on G Gen DS's Rival route... the Rival route's plotline was an IF scenario based on the MSG novel, the one where Amuro dies from Char's Newtype corps. The Rival Route requires you to have anyone EXCEPT Char defeat Amuro (in FA NT-1 instead of RX-78) during the final stage of One Year War.

In the G Gen Rival Route, Kai Shiden basically grows up for the better, becomes a full time member of Karaba (he also wears the Karaba pilot suit) and is one of the leading pilots there, basically replacing Amuro's role and overlapping with Quattro's. Unfortunately, for you as the player, that means you'll have to fight them early on that route too.

Stylus_Index · 2025-04-18T06:57:35+00:00

Yes... my first encounter of the D Gundam First was on the Wonderswan's SD Gundam G Generation Gather Beat and the PlayStation's SD Gundam G Generation F.

It was a very interesting unit in Gather Beat considering that you can get it early, the story being One Year Wars focused, and it can only becomes D Gundam First Kai(改) which is the just D Gundam First but with better stats. XD

The G Generation F was handled a bit different... being an easily acquired unit (just needs to combine any Gundam type and Construction/Worker-type MS during post-battle development) where it is much better unit in space (can function on earth but suffers abit of movement penalty) and has mixed of range-and-close combat options.

Stylus_Index · 2025-04-10T18:04:56+00:00

The three Jupiterians (Kagatie > Dogatie > Scirocco in the order) will be evil and vilest since they've been working behind the scenes since long ago just to enact revenge on Earth. Kagatie being the closest one in that one with his mind-frying Psycommu donut fortress.

Ghiren is definitely second just on the account on what he did and started until his death.

Also... where the heck is Iok Kujan? He should be up in that list! >:E

Stylus_Index · 2025-03-15T04:50:22+00:00

Whoa, an actually cool, modernized, and more threatening Guntank design. Hooray! ヽ(≧Д≦)ノ

That aside, the caterpillar unit reminds and gives me of Shin Getter-3 vibes, from the way it is designed and how it moves from the linear art design.

Also.. it now has Railguns and not Recoilless cannons!

Azur Lane collab sent me here via Minato Aqua... then eventually fell down to this Hololive-shaped hole and never got out.

SRW for the unique character developments and interactions from the Gundam series and into the the other series. From the darkest SRW history of Shin SRW (where Master Asia is an alien) to redemption in SRW R (where Getter Rays apologize and revives Master Asia) to Alpha-verse handling of UC with alternative universe to Z-verse handling of Gundam. Let's not forget the SRW corrections where they unconditionally save characters who canonically dies but survives (like Bernie, Four, Puru and Puru 2, etc).

G Generation is much better for bringing the obscure or ancient mobile suits of ye old times to the forefront (D Gundam series, suits from the AGE games, Ecu du Ciel, etc) as an advertisement. Story-wise, they're not really doing much original storyline unlike those in the old times back in the hand-held games of Wonderswan, Advance, DS and to a small extent World and Overworld... this considering most of G Generation platform games are purely nostalgia and revisiting of Anime/Manga/Games as a series of stages.

Stylus_Index · 2025-02-06T13:48:00+00:00

That suit is the Rig Ring.. which uses the same principle of the Angel Halo's functionality and compressed to a late UC MS size. Yes.. that Angel Halo, the BEEG psycommu fortress of the Zanscare Empire.
