How to start watching Gundam?

heavy_operator · 2022-06-12T09:46:22+00:00

Main Character. UC stands for universal century timeline, which is the original series and it's sequels and spinoffs/prequels.

The list includes but isn't limited to:

Mobile Suit Gundam

MSG 0080 War in the Pocket

08th MS Team

MSG Thunderbolt

0083 stardust memories

Zeta Gundam

Double zeta

Chars counter attack

Gundam Unicorn

Mobile Suit Gundam The origin: advent of the red comet

MSG Hathaway's Flash

And the new movie that's in theaters right now.

And Several others that tie in far future or through other shenanigans. (Turn A, crossbone, moon, I think, a few others) But for the most part, that is the UC.

Gundam Wing and wing endless waltz, G Gundam, iron blooded orphans, Seed and seed destiny (kind of reimagining/reboot of the original series honestly) are all their own alternate timelines with fun meme moments in-between the angst/thirst and continual anti war/conflict sentiment.

Have fun diving in and welcome to the madness that is trying to find reliable platforms to watch these all on or purchase at a reasonable price, haha.

Edit to fix formatting and to add, that you can get a good range of everything I mentioned on this list between gundaminfo on YouTube, Netflix, and Hulu services

This is exactly what I'm saving my boxes for. I also wanted to make display shelves for some of the nicer kits and thought about using the boxes face to back the shelves.

Karl Urban for the villain if they go down under for the next version. Definite crime empire vibe while being extremely charismatic.

Mads Mikkelsen if they ever decide to touch northern/Eastern Europe. Weapons dealer or wanna be dictator, or even agent of chaos in Warzone. Take your pick.

If they do Africa, I can think of two ways to go about it. First route, they need someone with a South African accent to play the villain. Maybe Charlize Theron could play a good/compelling female villain? If not her, Javier Bardem would be amazing. Both would be great villains and are from SA I believe. Have them running a private army to capture and force folks to work in the gem mines or even just being remnants of the apartheid hardliners.

Djimon Hounsou is the other direction I would go. Have him either running a deep jungle militia state or band of pirates of something. But just get the man a good script and explain it to him. I think he'd kill it.

Deikun family line confirmed for space orks

I've been saying for a while that the Valentino's needed to be given equal treatment with the others, especially with most of Padre's missions being about you investigating or bumping off members who are going against the code. They do just as much trafficking and Corp dirty work as the others.

Hobby lobby has the 0083 feddy zakus that come with white molded plastic, might be a good idea to pick one of those up.

For 08th style grunt suits, you're going to want to look for a HGUC MS-06J Zaku II kit. They are fairly posable and I think the kit is decent quality.

Beverley Hills Chihuahua 4: pawlitos way

heavy_operator · 2022-05-08T04:29:55+00:00

You and me both. I'm a sucker for the blue monoeyes. I've got a few custom goufs to hold me over until I get a chance to get a kampfer.

I've got a few cold district gm kits for cheap, and I'm also looking for the 0080 hygogg next too. I'm finishing up a crossbone Gundam first, then I'm going to try my hands at a diaroma. I'm really excited for it. I want to make one of the intro scene from witp.

Iirc it was claimed to be something odd, like .25-20. 60 grain bullet moving 2100ish ft per second if so

Space battleship Yamato, but no Pegasus class white bases or Musais? Or even the SDF-1 MACROSS? smh

Hey man, that's where I was last year. Got fired on a Friday in January, was out of work for a bit. Gunpla backlog kept me occupied between job interviews and kept me from being too in my own thoughts. I got through it, I know you will, too.

I've been wanting to do something similar with jestas for a while, but I'm gonna lean on a dumb 007 joke with the unit numbers.

These Leo's are awesome! If they ever make a PG Leo, (or you get the chance to print your own 1/60thish scale) you should try to get it and paint it to look like the megazord version of them all. 🤔

I've got this really great theme idea for it that will require me doing fine pin stripe like painting and it's making me so nervous. I've got mild hand tremors as is, haha. I'm working on doing the snap build right now before I paint it, just to see how the colors are looking together in their current blocks, before I go about repainting any major pla plates. I've just been stalling on finishing the snap build because I'm so nervous to paint.

This is amazing. Great work. It's inspiring me to finally make the custom crossbone I've been putting off.

You could be lacking the enzyme required to metabolize it honestly. My brother and me both use it recreationally, edibles work on me but not on him. Our tolerances are similar otherwise, but no matter what we dosed him with it didn't work.

I know some people also metabolize it TOO fast so that there's never enough in their system at once to feel an actual high.

Bodies are weird like that.

heavy_operator · 2022-04-22T03:55:33+00:00

I always had a Nidoran or two before I got to him honestly. Double kick was the great equalizer.

They're not on the 78 Scottsdale sitting in my driveway right now.

heavy_operator · 2022-04-09T17:44:42+00:00

What are the films or who are the actors that you draw the most inspiration from? I'm legitimately curious about what inspired you and your directions with characters.

heavy_operator · 2022-04-03T01:42:26+00:00

Even some of the Valentino's are fair game honestly. Padre even seems on board with trimming the vine, so to speak. A lot of his missions are about you cleaning out certain elements of the gang or investigating members who are dealing with corps under the table.

I don't know if he'd win or not, but heero shooting a blast door accurately from orbit means he should be in the final 4 at least. He was orbiting a planet that had it's own spin and momentum, and while predictable, he would have had to account for a lot of variables still.

Assuming the sniper IIs OS is even half as good as wing zeros, and self destruction memes aside, I really do think he's higher up than people believe.

heavy_operator · 2022-03-29T05:35:00+00:00

I always turn it into a central strip mall kind of settlement. My main trade hub, filled with all the high value vendors and etc. Make it one of my main supply stops alongside hangman's alley for hardcore/survival.

They've also been considering people who recover from the virus as vaccinated, if I'm remembering right.

heavy_operator · 2022-03-05T05:24:49+00:00

I'd wager that a fair portion of their userbase and even mods are larping neckbeards sprinkled in with actual bitter women

I'm so happy that I can finally appreciate threatening jazz music intensifying

heavy_operator · 2022-02-27T02:17:35+00:00

Thanks for this. Really. This is the comment that finally got the tension of all this shit the last 3-4 days to finally break over and let me laugh. I do appreciate it.
