Technically, Prometheus isn't a from a fairy tale either, it's the Greek Titan that created humans from clay and stole fire from the gods for use by humans. In layman's terms, he's a Greek God from a myth (it'd be like calling Jesus a fairy tale.)
I guess there is loose 'magical' theme to the names...but it seems to be a bit of a stretch.
Now Pied Piper and Goldilocks as code names in Eureka 7 AO, that's a bit more consistent.
I thought some time ago (in a blog entry of GG's on the RD Leo) you were wondering why the Leo was getting attention...? *shrug* Just a tad confused, that's all.
But it is nice art; I can see it as a figure, should they go for it.
@Anon (8:22 AM): That's pretty interesting. Some time ago, I had thought that--if you removed the shoulder verniers--the GP02A would basically look like a Dom (or another Zeon MS) with Gundam aesthetics. Given the background and aesthetics of the Rick Dias, I can actually see the GP02A as a predecessor. *shrug*
@Anon (5:38 AM): I figured anyone from the last GW news entry would be commenting here, whether they'd be ones pleased by the news of more GW material coming out or pained by it (in some "tunnel vision" way; ignoring the other Gundam material coming out).
Thus, the message you were replying to, which is more of a reply than needed (given the "attention-needing" nature of the message).
I've read a reference that mentioned what you're referring to also resembles a weapon out of a game called Gungrave: Overdose. *shrug* But no matter the origin, cross-shaped weapons seem odd. Not bad, though, seeing as how it--in Gundam--makes Prometheus a tad more unique over MSs with conventional weaponry (be they standard gatlings, rifles, missiles, etc.). (Also, despite the fact it looks like one and is based on one, I don't think Prometheus has the "Gundam" title in it, but that's a small nitpick since it essentially is one.)
In any case, I think I prefer Katoki's rendition of the first Heavyarms over this and HA Kai; I like the way the gatling for that design looked, along with the ammo drum/energy pack in the back the gatling was linked to.
Gundam Snow white the lame-est MS name evaarrrr...
ReplyDeleteHow can you be so sure that it'll has a Gundam as its affix? Even so any name can be as lame as you wish. To each their own.
DeleteWell the name isnt the best, but hey if its heero gundam it should be bad ass enough to let the name be as like any other gundam
DeleteCorrect me if I'm wrong but it seems all the new frozen teardrop gundams are code named from fairytales
ReplyDeleteNot really.
DeleteWarlock (A male witch)
I believe so too. I haven't see any publication attaching "Gundam" as a prefix or suffix to these fairy tale code-names.
DeleteI hope that Heero didn't ditch his TBR for a bazooka.

They've got to make a figure of that Leo Girl.

Promethes equals heavyarms right
ReplyDeleteNah! It's totally Shen-long. Can't you see the resemblence?
ReplyDeleteGP02 and Quattro ??
ReplyDeleteI noticed that as well. Very interesting!
Deleteit says that it was based on GP02, but everything is upgraded with the latest technology

DeleteNow bandai, can we get a anime of Gundam wing Frozen Teardrop ? :)
ReplyDeleteGo suck dick somewhere else, faggot
DeleteSome one isnt happy, go else where and cool off before coming back here.

Trigundam is epic. Matsunaga in a Dom? double epic.
ReplyDeleteSo Gundam Prometheus is WOLFWOOD?
