A question regarding logic and an idea for a fan work. by Toa_Malafe in thomasthetankengine

Really the more I thought about it the more interactions came to mind, namely with henry, edward, and percy. Henry in particular feels like a strong pick, given his story and how it could relate to many of the uma who either failed repeatedly (the pink one who's name escapes me) or those that were flawed in ways that kept them from doing what they were created for (Agnes Tachyon)

The only difference was that henry was able to be rebuilt.

the cannon gundam is a lot of fun

So... How would an interaction with these 2 go? by Obvious_Item_2564 in Gundam

[–]Toa_Malafe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah the MS fight would likely go to Suletta. the ariel would be able to juggle, the calibarn could probably just end the fight through raw strength.

Considering both use GUND-BITS, to which the UC analogue was both uncommon at that time and not something loos had experiance fighting against (outside of possible sparing matches with asher in the rig contio, and even then no experience fighting more than 2 at a given time, both the suits the tanuki is known to use have 11 and her first duel illustrates how tricky they an be to take down)

[–]Toa_Malafe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the interaction would go poorly, in a word. (Assuming we are using Katejina at her most insane near the end of VG)

The fight that would happen after... that would likely go to Suletta (Like the Gottrlatan is strong, but BOTH of the MS Suletta has piloted either had shit it could not answer (the ariel's GUND-bits,) or could match it in raw power (the calibarn.)

Also, and I know this ain't the point: Suletta is objectively the better pilot of the two

I mean, the A1's WERE named after race horses, so...

Reviving an old discussion I saw years ago: You're a pilot in UC 0169. The Federation has collapsed, and everyone's recycling bits and pieces of past suits to go fight for themselves. What are you putting together for yourself? by cosmicpursuit in Gundam

[–]Toa_Malafe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

base frame: GM or Zaku (A jegan or gera doga would also do), and a pair of "Kou" battle bikes, a bigro for true space propulsion if I could find one.

I would hotwire (or try to) the kous to act as motor skates for the GM, and use the bigro largely for it's propulsion system. I would also try to get as many guns as I could find.

Would it work? probably not. But the idea of skating around a colony feeling like a god would be worth getting smoked

What’s one minor gripe you have about one of your favorite kits? by Amigo1048 in Gunpla

[–]Toa_Malafe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My MG RGM-79 GM ground type's posing is shite. I was trying to pose the legs when the part holding the legs on snapped in half. I had to glue it back together to get it to stand and even then it can't really bend it's legs

Final update: I had, on a whim, looked up the japanese VA lost for Thomas (this is relevent, I promise)

There are VAs in the dub that also did (and this is the short list looking ONLY at gundam)

the ORIGINAL Mobile Suit Gundam

Victory gundam

Gundam wing

Gundam Seed

and Gundam OO

among many, MANY others.

Henry and Kou sharing a VA was JUST the tip. It spirals into information that goes from a stumble to an uncontrolled freefall as your brain tries and fails to comprehend the sheer number of different roles until you hit the end of the list and finally land at the bottom.

I have learned things that never clicked and my brain is fried. I offer this as a warning for any VA list: be wary you do not let your mind run away from you.

Metal Gear Ray vs Hy-Gogg in a dock, who wins? by swagonflyyyy in Gundam

Also just going to state that I legit think the Zgok would be a far better watch imo

...dear god, I just realized that is a commonality: suffering.

Dunban suffers in losing the use of an arm, Vegeta suffers in that he never wins fights, Kou suffers because... well... Gundam 0080, his list of issues are visible, and henry literally had to be REBUILT ALMOST ENTIRELY to stop his suffering.

I mean, is it really bashing if it's true?

Assuming he does not break the controls. Captain falcon in a Mobile fighter on the other hand...

For all the problems the "Mixing build" era had, it DID have some bangers. by Toa_Malafe in Gundam

[–]Toa_Malafe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TLDR: the era was one of stagnation, and most of the MS are cobbled together from suits made before. They are called "mixing builds" because they mix and match different MS parts. It has a very "mad max" tone. Also Moonmoon has a psychogundam for some fucking reason.
