^ his right. That's Prometheus Gundam. It's in the manga text. Stop on the "Scheherazade" thing. It will be announced. Deym read first before making conclusions.
weird, i would have thought that scheherezade would have been an upgrade to to sandrock since they both have a desert theme to them, seeing as where the name scheherezade came from. also lol upgrape.
If everyone would pay attention to the various forum threads like over at animesuki.com, then you would realize this suit is Prometheus, not a repaired/upgraded Heavyarms Kai, but a suit developed from its data.
Spoilers- Katherine (Quatre's clone sister) Gundamjacks this suit which was intended for Trowa Phobos. Because, this thing (Prometheus) is armed with a weapon known as the "Warhead" which is suggesting this thing possibly could be armed with a nuke, but until more technical data is put out we don't know.
Scheherazade is the new Sandrock like suit, however based on the suggested armaments of the suit it has different weapons completely. - end of spoilers.
How do you know he's a UC elitist? Wing IS shit. There's no denying it unless you're in middle school or a rabid nostalgia fag. Forzen teardrop is even worse it's a shitty fan fic level piece of shit that panders to fujoshi like SEED. Maybe it's special to you guys cause it was "babeh's first gendum" but that doesn't mean it isn't one of the worst written series second only to SEED
Because UC elitists act in that manner and there is very little cases of an AU elitist ever dissing other AU series. AU elitist, they just go on and about how much they like their series while UC elitist keep on rambling bout other series sucking compared to the UC.
Gundam is good no matter what the series is and it's not perfect but we all like it. But elitist are like a cult trying to spread their influence and hatred for the series they hate.
Not to mention framing one's tastes and opinions as a fact (especially in the direct/simple manner used in the 7:00 PM and 8:39 PM comments) is erroneous by default. One may have others agreeing with them, but it's not a consensus, let alone some constant like the laws of gravity.
I like Wing. I don't think it's as good as Turn A Gundam, but I wouldn't trash Gundam anime/manga/novels outside of TAG (regardless of whether I've watched 'em or not). You don't need to do that in order to make your favorite look better in your eyes.
I'd imagine some who feel otherwise would do so to seek some attention for some reason (whether it's for the satisfaction of the reaction, to appeal to some group-think they follow, reaffirmation of their personal likes/dislikes, or just for the hell of it). But that's the nature of the internet. *shrug*
And although I wouldn't herald it up as a favorite, I like the Prometheus design. It's incomplete look and aesthetics of the gatling makes it a tad different from the original Heavyarms. Whether it has a trait somewhat shared by an anime I haven't seen (I know, I know, it's my loss. *shrug*), I don't care. I'm sure their favorite Gundam anime still has products coming out for it they'll like.
His attitude and what the guy said above. i am not certain of this however.
Going by your flawed "logic" or lack of it, Wing IS shit. You are basing this on absolute FACT, not your distorted subjective emotional opinion, because that's what opinions are, which often do not have an inkling of truth and are often based on emotions such as anger, hatred, envy, doubt, etc. Therefore, you are telling the truth, therefore you are right. My Reasoning and Critical Thinking lecturer would have given you a good smacking in the ass.
Obviously the only fag in here is you. Now that's just my honest truthful opinion of your disgusting attitude.
To examine your what couldn't even be called logic, we have a Ferrari. Ferraris are sought after cars (because 'pricks with too much cash to spend think theyre the bee's knees') Most people buy a Ferrari for its reputation, its manufacturing quality, its road worthiness, its exotic style, status, what have you. Therefore, most people who buy a Ferrari MUST BE pricks because they're buying it to compensate for something, to impress the ladies, or just plain look like a douche. FALSE.
None of these presumptions are based on fact. Anyone with the money MAY buy a Ferrari. Plausible. why? You have the money, go for it. You don't have to.
An old lady buys a Ferrari. Is she a prick, douchebag, flaming troll, town idiot, lowlife scum? Who knows. If you suggest that old lady IS (pertaining it to be fact) one of the above, well, goodness me you must be the town idiot because you have no way of knowing if any of the above traits applies to the old lady, unless you know the lady personally (which still what you think of her isn't necessarily based on any real world objective truth or fact of life; fact of life e.g. 1 Everyone will die at some point in this world).
So boys and girls, let's examine Anon 8:39pm's flow of "logic" or lack thereof.
- Wing IS shit - PLAUSIBLE, since i don't even like the series that much imo. It was just boy band Gundams can't be harmed by shellfire, let's go out and eradicate everything in plain sight, followed by yada yada yada boring IMO plot devices, then back to the somewhat exciting "ill kill myself along with the Gundam now. kthanksbye." Is my opinion lauded by everyone here, including the producers of Gundam Wing? NO that's just my estimation of what i think of the show. During any battle in Gundam Wing, you don't hear what i just said above. Therefore, by his logic, i could or could not believe Wing IS shit. It's just hard to believe something though when none of the presumptions are based on ABSOLUTE fact. What i think of the show doesn't apply to everyone. Everyone has their own opinion. This could mean we do or do not agree with you (i'll leave it for you to guess which one i picked) - "Forzen teardrop is even worse, it's a shitty fan flc level piece of shit that panders to fujoshi like SEED" Mate the only people pandering here are you and me. = POSSIBLE, but im not certain that Forzen whatchamacallit is even wrose oops sorry worse "WORSE" i haven't even read it. Once again your logic has failed you here. - Maybe it's special to you guys cause it was "babeh's first gundam" COMPLETELY UNTRUE AND NOT BASED ON ANY SOLID EVIDENCE. Listen carefully my first "gendum" was ZZ. Sort your facts before you call out on anyone, that kind of attitude will have you stabbed, shot, maimed and left for dead where i grew up. FACT - but that doesn't mean it isn't one of the worst written series second only to SEED - Yeah because Tomino, Fukuda Morosawa, etc regard SEED as the worst Gundam of all time. Yes your facts and most of your brain have obviously gone out the window here. See what you're doing? You're voicing out your sad excuse for an opinion on a complete work of FICTION writing which doesn't even exist in real life, and supposing it as FACT. If SEED was the worst Gundam series of all time, tell me, why the hell does Bandai and Sunrise think it's a good excuse to remaster it in HD Blu Ray, remaster the whole Series 1 HG Gunpla line, make the GAT-X series in Master Grade ver 2012 just because of it's 10th anniversary.
Why is SEED so popular in Japan? I think i can predict what you're about to say.
To quote a wise man, "What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. EVERYONE in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
I don't really care what is your favorite gundam series, or what's your favorite robot series. You like robots, whether it's watching them trash other robots, or you like building models of them, or 'posing' toys of them.
I like the EW and ver. KA designs for Wing, partly because I prefer Katoki's sleek style over Okawara's blocky style. It's not a bad thing, it's just a personal preference. I like steampunk-ish robots like Kishin Thunder, Giant Robo, and the Kobu from Sakura Wars. I like transforming bikes and armor like the Knight Sabers w/Motorslaves, MOSPEADA, Studio Nue Starship Troopers and the Garland. I like super robots like Voltes Five, Gaiking, Gunbuster and Tobikage. My FIRST robot series were Robotech, Transformers, Force 5 and Gundam F91. For some people, it's Gigantor, and others, TT Gurren Lagann.
I'm a not big fan of GW's story, and I like Turn A's story--but not the MS as much. I think it's amazing that Gundam (like Transformers) has been running SO LONG as a franchise that everyone seems to have a strong connection to the series that looped them in! You can't say that about many things XD I'm not here to trash your robot hobby, so don't trash other people and their preferences.
Like they say at Toyboxdx.com/phorum, "Be nice, talk toy." Or this case, "Be nice, talk Gundams."
So much delicious butt hurt. This is hilarious! Oh man. "I HAVE SHIT TASTE AND YOU CAN'T TELL ME OTHER WISE! BEING MEAN IS NOT ALLOWED!!!! STOP NOT LIKING MY FAVORITE SHOWS BOOHOO!!"
Well, it's not like you haven't received any of your own from the mere existence of continued material from GW (and/or others you dislike). Thus, framing your opinion as fact in an obvious attention-seeking (and erroneous) way, rather than finding some better form of entertainment. But I get that such is your nature. At least you also enjoyed yourself for a bit, huh? *shrug* (Though you've got to admit, easily seeking the attention of everyone in such a manner isn't a new thing.)
Yes, yes we all know you like to take it up the ass like a girl. There you go, just keep sucking it. What's that you're tasting shit? stop licking his asshole then. OK we're not gonna be mean to you then, we'll just go DP how's that? or spit roast? sandwich? gangbang? He's coming, he's coming get down on your knees arms behind your back ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH DROPPING LOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAADS
Your come shot ................................. XD lick lick lick licky!
Yeah, it appears to be a cross-shaped gatling gun. As far as running out of ammo goes, that's not uniquely a Heavyarms/Kai/Prometheus trait. I didn't see too many comments worrying about Amuro Ray's Gundam sporting weapons that can run out of ammo (such as the head vulcans and beam rifle).
Sure, the RX-78 had beam sabers, but even if Prometheus doesn't have much on the order of melee weaponry, I wouldn't underestimate melee without weapons. I'd imagine that cross-shaped gatling would do some damage if swung at another MS.
As versatile as the RX-78-2 was supposed to be, the Federation produced the G-Fighter, which was meant to make up for the weakness in the RX-78-2 design, thus making it more versatile.
In Gundam Wing, I've noticed that the Gundams are created around a 'combat theme', which have their own drawbacks. Not one is supposed to be the ULTIMATE GUNDAM. In GW, there are 5 Gundams...and this new series has 4 new ones, plus some other high powered non-gundams. In OYW, there was ONE Gundam. For a long time, the federation only had 3 mobile suits TOTAL...and a lot of balls ;) 3 MS versus the all the ZAKUs, Gouf, Doms, Marine MS, Huge MAs…yeah, Zeon kind of rocked. As you know, the GM was mass prod. version of the RX-78-2, but they wouldn't have been able to make it with the data from RX-78-2. And the GM got tore to bits by the Amphibious MS and MA from Zeon, during the Jaburo assault.
I think Amuro has run out bullets from the head vulcan a few times (didn't that happen when he first climbed in? Sorry, it's been a while since I saw the first series. )Personally, I think Prometheus looks COOLER than First Gundam. But First Gundam did give us other cool Gundams like: GP01-GP04, RX-78-4 through 6, ALEX, and the GM series (which got a lot cooler by 0080 and became the Jegan series around 0093.)
Personally, I thought the Army Knife was an awesome feature, I hope they include something like that for close combat emergencies. Or the GN Beam Pistols II on Cherudim Gundam! "Screw beam sabers, I got beam pistols that become handheld axes!"
If we can all just ignore the ignorant troll for a bit... Am I the only one noticing it doesn't appear entirely finished? Is that because it was stolen? I wonder how this will bode for the MG version.
I'm really curious at how the Gundam will hold that cross gatling gun. WHat do you guys think is more badass? Gattling gun with physical bullets or a beam gatling gun? Personaly i would find physical bullets cooler and actually look more powerful.
Nano-machine gun bullets...that way you have an unlimited amount of ammunition and can possibly hack/control mobile suits that have been hit by it. LOL wouldn't be surprised if this was implemented, seeing as there is a new Tallgeese with nano tech in Frozen Teardrop.
pretty neat designs, this comment thread is exactly whats so right and so wrong with gunota, why can't we be happy that we all have a 30+ year old fictional work to appreciate? i mean, FUCK, i hate SEED, like really hate it, but i can still find the good in it, like Astray and Stargazer. Of course i can go on and on and on about the faults of AU shows, because i lean towards the UC, just the way my fandom developed, sorry it may upset you newer fans. But don't dismiss everyone who critiques an AU show as a UC elitist, i like all Gundam, sure i have preferences and i'd love to rationally explain why i dislike a show that one of you out there might love, but stop labeling and making up these fucking ridiculous "factions" of gundam fans, this is why we lost Ngee Khiong ladies and gents! cuz a-holes love to start wars over BS fiction, so next time someone goes, AW MAN IT'S WING SO ITS SHIT, don't fucking antagonize him further, what the fuck does it matter? does his not liking it affect your taste in it? God damnit i hate the internet sometimes...
Trolls just like to troll. Don't take it seriously and life is much more easier to appreciate, especially the smallest things like comments on the internet
Don't know if trolling or not, your stiff UC upper lip is rearing it's ugly head. Tone it down a bit.
The world of Gundam fans sure is an opinionated, emotion driven, blood fueled, chromosome engendered world, like a teenage girl just about to break into puberty...THE HARD WAY.
Frankly it's quite sad that a bunch of grown up adults or boys and girls like to bicker about stuff that DOESN'T EVEN EXIST. nrds and gks love to rant because they've obviously got too much time on their hands to bust out their mind on an unaware public forum.
Instead of constructive criticisms or sharing honest BUT appropriate opinions, we get a bunch of WAH WAH WING IS SHIT. Then one guy/girl goes LA LAH stop trolling N00b. Then another goes ewwwwwww we can't say bad things about your favourite show ooh.
Society as it is. Going down a steep decline. This is why i hate having to step outside, putting on a facade to tolerate people frankly, no sane person should have to (my psych major friend said it best "General society is for the most part, insane"). Middle aged 40 + year olds complaining about their first world problems like why am i not being served, excuse me this machine is broken, it is adamant you fix it right away so i rush home with some neglectful driving to do some knitting. Or complain and whinge about small problems like skipping the queue in public transport, or a woman flipping off the bus driver for not ärriving promptly" and proceeds to give him a piece of her mind about it. Even worse, utter bigotry, fascism and racism e.g. where i live, the caucasians who've invaded this land and driven out the natives, who once had a White country policy, now demand no more asylum seekers/boat refugees/general immigrants come here when the fact of the matter is, they do not even own this land.
Well only one has to play into the troll's game, boom like a chain reaction bushfire.
I believe the person you were replying to was reacting from everyone arguing about whatever Gundam anime they like or hate, rather than participating in attacking other people's opinions (which I think you interpreted his message as being). And as much as I tend to go on and on myself, I think Rafael had the better reply because it was to the point of what's going on in fewer words and digressions.
As far as your digression in question, I'd imagine there are people who felt similarly decades ago, even if there wasn't an internet to connect everyone to (in order to make our voices louder to everyone else). And--like us today (with Gundam and others)--they had their ways of getting away from it all and getting into passionate discussions about it. (Regardless of whether anyone could use the "GIFT" theory in some way back then as anyone can now.)
It may feel frustrating at times, but don't sweat it if some people want to bicker about Gundam every now and then.
who's to say the people commenting here aren't people worrying about/discussing real world issues as well as discussing Gundam (in this fashion) in their spare times (for whatever reason, such as getting away from it all for a moment)? *shrug*
So with them FINALLY revealing one of the new MS's (Epyon EW doesn't count!) does anyone else have a sense of, "Well, it's about fucking time Bandai..."
I think the heavy promotion the last couple of years for the Wing franchise means we will most likely get Frozen Teardrop MGs after Bandai completes its EW line. Maybe that's why Bandai has held off a Nataku/Sandrock Kai/Heavyarms Kai/Tallgeese III Master Grade release since they want to reveal all the lead mobile suits first in Frozen Teardrop.
Shizuoka Hobby Show here @ Gundamguy.blogspot.com showed picks of what seemed to be Gundam Warlock and Snow White holding a purple beam scythe and a beam saber(Duo and Heero's) albeit like in the manga promo, concealed under desert hooded cloaks.
It also said "Bandai Wing New Project" 1/100 scale but MG yet to be confirmed. Hold your horses.
Gundam x trigun????????

ReplyDeleteWarlock or Snow White? or etc?
ReplyDelete^Prometheus
Deleteits the Scheherazade, Prometheus is Sandrock
DeleteNo, its confirmed in text its Prometheus.
Delete^ his right. That's Prometheus Gundam. It's in the manga text. Stop on the "Scheherazade" thing. It will be announced. Deym read first before making conclusions.
DeleteOrigins of the names:
DeletePrometheus was a Titan in ancient Greek Mythology.
Scheherazade was a Persian Queen, responsible for the famed Arabian Nights tales.
Put two and two together Sandrock = Middle East/Arab influence, Persia = modern day Iran, Iran = in Middle East
Though i could be wrong. just kidding consult your geography and mythology.
wait so prometheus is it a semi repaired and upgraded heavyarms kai?
ReplyDeletethats Scheherazade gundam, Prometheus is a upgrape sandrock
Deleteweird, i would have thought that scheherezade would have been an upgrade to to sandrock since they both have a desert theme to them, seeing as where the name scheherezade came from. also lol upgrape.
DeleteWolfwood? Is that you?
ReplyDeleteI thought its the Scheherazade Trowa Phobos gundam
ReplyDeleteThis Gundam will still run out of bullets..... I hope it has the army knife.
ReplyDeletethe top one is the scheherazade the upgrade to the heavyarms, atleast i think, the other might be the prometheus
ReplyDeletethey are both scheherazade, the one below has its cloak putted on
Deleteyea i took a nother look nd realized that... haha my bad
DeleteThe top one is Prometheus and the second pic of the cloaked on with the gun is Snow White
DeleteI think the Scheherazade is a entirely new machine rather than a upgrade
ReplyDeleteLike a new machine based off the Heavyarms
I think I remember that the Heavyarms self destruct at the end of EW
ya they all self destructed, but remember what happened when wing gundam self destructed? it still had enough parts left over for it to be rebuilt.
DeleteIf everyone would pay attention to the various forum threads like over at animesuki.com, then you would realize this suit is Prometheus, not a repaired/upgraded Heavyarms Kai, but a suit developed from its data.
ReplyDeleteSpoilers- Katherine (Quatre's clone sister) Gundamjacks this suit which was intended for Trowa Phobos.

Scheherazade is the new Sandrock like suit, however based on the suggested armaments of the suit it has different weapons completely. - end of spoilers.
Well then animesuki needs to get busy on making a wiki page for the FT mobile suits seeing as they have all the info apparently.
DeleteOf course Sandrock's successor is Scheherazade. Arabian Nights anyone?
DeleteScheherazade is actually an Arabic name not just from a fairy-tale and in Arabic it is spelled شهرزاد
DeleteIf everyone would pay attention to the fact that none of this matters; it's Gundam Wing, so it sucks. There you go.
ReplyDeleteObvious UC elitist troll is obvious, now shoo shoo no one wants your useless opinions.
Deletehohoho pwnage i laughed so hard at 7:32pm's response, it's not enough UC hardcore "leets" run their flawed opinionated logic'
DeleteGundam Wing = therefore sucks. Guess you can apply that to any Gundam or anything then, derp.
How do you know he's a UC elitist? Wing IS shit. There's no denying it unless you're in middle school or a rabid nostalgia fag. Forzen teardrop is even worse it's a shitty fan fic level piece of shit that panders to fujoshi like SEED. Maybe it's special to you guys cause it was "babeh's first gendum" but that doesn't mean it isn't one of the worst written series second only to SEED
DeleteHow do you even know If they're a he? It could be a girl troll. Also I could say the same thing about zeta gundam.
DeleteBecause UC elitists act in that manner and there is very little cases of an AU elitist ever dissing other AU series. AU elitist, they just go on and about how much they like their series while UC elitist keep on rambling bout other series sucking compared to the UC.
DeleteGundam is good no matter what the series is and it's not perfect but we all like it. But elitist are like a cult trying to spread their influence and hatred for the series they hate.

For a long time, the federation only had 3 mobile suits TOTAL...and a lot of balls ;) 3 MS versus the all the ZAKUs, Gouf, Doms, Marine MS, Huge MAs…yeah, Zeon kind of rocked. As you know, the GM was mass prod. version of the RX-78-2, but they wouldn't have been able to make it with the data from RX-78-2. And the GM got tore to bits by the Amphibious MS and MA from Zeon, during the Jaburo assault.
I think Amuro has run out bullets from the head vulcan a few times (didn't that happen when he first climbed in? Sorry, it's been a while since I saw the first series. )Personally, I think Prometheus looks COOLER than First Gundam. But First Gundam did give us other cool Gundams like: GP01-GP04, RX-78-4 through 6, ALEX, and the GM series (which got a lot cooler by 0080 and became the Jegan series around 0093.)
Personally, I thought the Army Knife was an awesome feature, I hope they include something like that for close combat emergencies. Or the GN Beam Pistols II on Cherudim Gundam! "Screw beam sabers, I got beam pistols that become handheld axes!"

ReplyDeleteIf we can all just ignore the ignorant troll for a bit... Am I the only one noticing it doesn't appear entirely finished? Is that because it was stolen? I wonder how this will bode for the MG version.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the info on FT thus far, the answer is "Yes." on both accounts.
DeleteTrigun x Gundam
ReplyDeleteSo....about that "Scheherazade".... XDDDDD
ReplyDeleteIt is prometheus== tat gundam holding a gun ia Snow White
ReplyDeleteI'm really curious at how the Gundam will hold that cross gatling gun.
ReplyDeleteWHat do you guys think is more badass? Gattling gun with physical bullets or a beam gatling gun? Personaly i would find physical bullets cooler and actually look more powerful.
Nano-machine gun bullets...that way you have an unlimited amount of ammunition and can possibly hack/control mobile suits that have been hit by it. LOL wouldn't be surprised if this was implemented, seeing as there is a new Tallgeese with nano tech in Frozen Teardrop.
Deletepretty neat designs, this comment thread is exactly whats so right and so wrong with gunota, why can't we be happy that we all have a 30+ year old fictional work to appreciate? i mean, FUCK, i hate SEED, like really hate it, but i can still find the good in it, like Astray and Stargazer. Of course i can go on and on and on about the faults of AU shows, because i lean towards the UC, just the way my fandom developed, sorry it may upset you newer fans. But don't dismiss everyone who critiques an AU show as a UC elitist, i like all Gundam, sure i have preferences and i'd love to rationally explain why i dislike a show that one of you out there might love, but stop labeling and making up these fucking ridiculous "factions" of gundam fans, this is why we lost Ngee Khiong ladies and gents! cuz a-holes love to start wars over BS fiction, so next time someone goes, AW MAN IT'S WING SO ITS SHIT, don't fucking antagonize him further, what the fuck does it matter? does his not liking it affect your taste in it? God damnit i hate the internet sometimes...
ReplyDeleteTrolls just like to troll. Don't take it seriously and life is much more easier to appreciate, especially the smallest things like comments on the internet
Delete@ Anon 7:59 AM
DeleteDon't know if trolling or not, your stiff UC upper lip is rearing it's ugly head. Tone it down a bit.
The world of Gundam fans sure is an opinionated, emotion driven, blood fueled, chromosome engendered world, like a teenage girl just about to break into puberty...THE HARD WAY.
Frankly it's quite sad that a bunch of grown up adults or boys and girls like to bicker about stuff that DOESN'T EVEN EXIST. nrds and gks love to rant because they've obviously got too much time on their hands to bust out their mind on an unaware public forum.
Instead of constructive criticisms or sharing honest BUT appropriate opinions, we get a bunch of WAH WAH WING IS SHIT. Then one guy/girl goes LA LAH stop trolling N00b. Then another goes ewwwwwww we can't say bad things about your favourite show ooh.
Society as it is. Going down a steep decline. This is why i hate having to step outside, putting on a facade to tolerate people frankly, no sane person should have to (my psych major friend said it best "General society is for the most part, insane"). Middle aged 40 + year olds complaining about their first world problems like why am i not being served, excuse me this machine is broken, it is adamant you fix it right away so i rush home with some neglectful driving to do some knitting. Or complain and whinge about small problems like skipping the queue in public transport, or a woman flipping off the bus driver for not ärriving promptly" and proceeds to give him a piece of her mind about it. Even worse, utter bigotry, fascism and racism e.g. where i live, the caucasians who've invaded this land and driven out the natives, who once had a White country policy, now demand no more asylum seekers/boat refugees/general immigrants come here when the fact of the matter is, they do not even own this land.
Well only one has to play into the troll's game, boom like a chain reaction bushfire.
@Anon from 6:57 PM (June 25th):
DeleteI believe the person you were replying to was reacting from everyone arguing about whatever Gundam anime they like or hate, rather than participating in attacking other people's opinions (which I think you interpreted his message as being). And as much as I tend to go on and on myself, I think Rafael had the better reply because it was to the point of what's going on in fewer words and digressions.
As far as your digression in question, I'd imagine there are people who felt similarly decades ago, even if there wasn't an internet to connect everyone to (in order to make our voices louder to everyone else). And--like us today (with Gundam and others)--they had their ways of getting away from it all and getting into passionate discussions about it. (Regardless of whether anyone could use the "GIFT" theory in some way back then as anyone can now.)
It may feel frustrating at times, but don't sweat it if some people want to bicker about Gundam every now and then.
who's to say the people commenting here aren't people worrying about/discussing real world issues as well as discussing Gundam (in this fashion) in their spare times (for whatever reason, such as getting away from it all for a moment)? *shrug*
(I forgot to add the word "And" in that last paragraph, but then I originally had that paragraph placed earlier... *sigh* Oh, well.)
Deletei don't know about you guys, but i still prefer the TV vers.
ReplyDeleteIt's good, but still prefer the TV vers.
So with them FINALLY revealing one of the new MS's (Epyon EW doesn't count!) does anyone else have a sense of, "Well, it's about fucking time Bandai..."
ReplyDeleteyeah lol, but it's bandai, maybe they'll release it 10 years from now
DeleteI think the heavy promotion the last couple of years for the Wing franchise means we will most likely get Frozen Teardrop MGs after Bandai completes its EW line. Maybe that's why Bandai has held off a Nataku/Sandrock Kai/Heavyarms Kai/Tallgeese III Master Grade release since they want to reveal all the lead mobile suits first in Frozen Teardrop.
DeleteShizuoka Hobby Show here @ Gundamguy.blogspot.com showed picks of what seemed to be Gundam Warlock and Snow White holding a purple beam scythe and a beam saber(Duo and Heero's) albeit like in the manga promo, concealed under desert hooded cloaks.
DeleteIt also said "Bandai Wing New Project" 1/100 scale but MG yet to be confirmed. Hold your horses.
