Gundams and little girls
ReplyDeleteOnce again... AGREE...
Deletethat would be lolicon and BDSM

DeleteI tend to wake up early
why loli-gundam always first ??? XD
Delete@1st Anon
DeleteDon't forget to submit the 1st comment when part 3 is opened...
If I remember right Gundams and little girls always end badly.
DeleteBeside elpeo ple & yurin l'ciel, can you mention any other examples?
Deletelala?
Delete@Rocky
DeleteI'll try.
@anon 10:37
Not talking about lolis that always die. I'm talking about a gundam where everyone is a little girl.
There will be multiple generations and lesbians reproduce by holding hands and cuddling.
make sure enemy MS all have tentacles..
Delete@mutenroshi
DeleteWhat's wrong with you
gundams in a post apocalyptic world.
ReplyDeletei think the concept is already taken by After War Gundam X. if your idea is different, please elaborate; it might be better than Gundam X.
Deletei thought of it too.. but i guess it would be better if it's somewhat more realistic like it's after the years in ad like in 00. though it's taken... why not after a nuclear war between countries and then survival things and like that...
Deletethe storyline like the game in PSP gundam generation overworld.. XD
ReplyDeleteProbably gundam beast as seen in the concept art b4.. Storyline will be something beast wars kinda thingy..
ReplyDeletei have my beast gundam design, got the idea from evangelion, which it has a very high articulated body frame, it turns into beast mode and unleash his body frame to establish beast looking, which is like unicorn.

Here's a basic (and very rough) plot I've had rolling in my head for a while:
ReplyDelete~~ Human populations have exploded beyond the planet's carrying capacity. Corrupt, multi-national corporations hold sway over the world's resources, and exploit the natural world to the point where only a handful of ecologically viable areas exist, and those areas are under threat as well...
These corporations have acquired protection against world-wide protest & revolt by essentially buying the most advanced military forces in existance (consisting of mechs, high-powered tanks & aircraft, nukes, etc.) which keep the population subdued under horrific conditions, and render all forms of established governmental opposition essentially obsolete and powerless.
Quietly growing from within these corporations, there exists a small but powerful secret group of dissenters, who recognize that the time of diplomacy has long passed, and the time for desperate measures has come.
They seek a future in which mankind has moved beyond the controlling grasp of the elite, to create a new life on a restored planet Earth, and among the stars as well.
Developed from the latest technology, and piloted by a chosen daughter of this secret group, the mechanized humanoid weapon, code named "Gundam", may be humanity's best hope for restoring balance to the world and overthrowing the tyranical corporate empire that has sought to destroy it. ~~
This definitely needs some fine tuning, but I think it's a decent start.
Plus a female main protagonist/pilot would be quite original as well.
There would, of course, be a strong emphasis on the theme of ecological conservation/preservation and such, but I think one of the other main, over-arching themes of the story could play around with the idea that "change comes only from within".
The corporations might represent how we as people, groups, and even nations, can spiral out of control with greed, hatred, solipsism, etc., and use a "militia" of self-justifying excuses & denials to protect ourselves from criticism (whether from outside ourselves or within).
Just as the corporations' negativity have affected the entire planet, our own individual negativities affect people/things within the sphere of our own personal lives. And the "Gundam" might represent the inner strength we all must summon within ourselves to stand against our darker, destructive impulses, and to find the hope necessary to "reach for the stars", so to speak.
Whoa! That's awesome!
DeleteI really like this one. The one I'm thinking of would have a female lead as well, because really, we need to have a female lead in Gundam.
DeleteName it Gundam FRONTIER that would be great
Deleteo-o beginning sounds sort of like the into to Deus Ex
DeleteMedieval times gundams serving much like king Arthur's knights of the round table
ReplyDeletehopefully the next series has a complete line of MGs.
ReplyDeleteHumanity's exploration of the stars.
ReplyDeleteWith the calming of hostilities in the Earth Sphere, man takes up the daunting task of exploring the rest of the galaxy. New nations are formed in the wake of the colonization waves, and old grudges resurface. The massive expanse of space, teems with incredible possibility and wonder, but key questions haunt: Are we alone in the universe? and what is mankind's destiny among the stars?
Concept for the main Gundam is that its main feature is the use of holography and hard light (pseudo-Green Lantern MS). Mild FTL travel exists, there is an emerging rivalry among the new nations, and the exploration of space.
key to this is the idea of the promise of humanity to reach greater heights and that this is sometimes hampered by old wounds, moral failings and many other divisive issues that are prevalent in human society.
2013 Post War, humans have lost their technology in a Great War 2000 years ago. 90% of humanity live on earth while the other ten percent live in deep space. But on the 13 of May 2013, those living in space decide to reclaim earth...as they were once exiled 10000 years ago. Chaos ensues when the United Earth Government denies the existance of these Spacenoids. War broke out when Hi tech Spacenoids vs the UEG forces which only have a technology comparable with the early 21th century. The populance on Earth starts finding the lost technology and mass private excavation occurs. Fearing an uprising the UEG started a rule stating that all people that have this ancient technology will die a traitor's death, by beheading. When school student Ian Borghijin excavates a Humanoid robot that self heals behind his school at Ulaanbatar, he is hunted down by the UEG for having a MS. Ian is thrown into chaos as he is forced to join the spacenoids in their struggle against the UEG.
ReplyDeleteThats my idea of a story. Also..a lead gundam that self heals and transform into a plane. And cute female characters too.
that sounds a lot like turn a
Deleteyah..cos i like turn a and X
DeleteSomething that I wouldn't mind seeing happen is having a gundam series based in a conflict between two major corporations. Both that control one half of the world, however, the role of the gundam serves to be the martyr of one side, and of course, "the white devil" to the other, what with propaganda flying all-around by both powers.
ReplyDeleteUnlike the OYW, this is all "secret warfare", and all attacks done by the Gundam are under the veil of a monster. With elements from 00, one side investigates the secrets and mysteries of the gundam (in which we get more information regarding the gundam from them, than the actual side holding them), whilst the "gundam" side focuses more on the action and effects from both sides. But the motives from both sides and previous actions is what makes it truly "gray" in terms of who the REAL good guy is. As it tackles the issues of greed, espionage, miscommunication, and power.
Gundams and old folks
ReplyDeleteA perspective of the main character being the losing side on the team in the story.
Now let twist the story around let make the Villain the main character, and beating up the super hero just because of vengeance after so many of his/her comrade die in vain.
A veteran mercenary who having the tough time wining again the new generation.
Using the wicked strategy to defeat his/her opponent most of the time is unsuccessful usually many casualty along the way.
After resolve his/her vengeance he soon realize he/she have become a monster and start on a salvation for his/her crime.
Since in the eye of young minded teenagers, whatever the elders do is all wrong.
As the eye of being a elders, they just wanted make quickest solution to their problem and being conservative about the future.
Just an idea wasn't sure it might look similar with some story let me know cause I don't do much reading these day >:)
Gundam 00 10th Anniversary should be coming up around the corner this decade.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see an TV Anime adaption for any of the Manga series' out there. Even a new project.
I'd like to go away from the Gundam norm a bit and make it more of a fantasy story(I'm sure purists would hate it). Many centuries ago there was a team of people who saved the world from some evil force using Gundams and sealed it away. Over the years most technology was lost or changed as magical abilities awakened within humans and people would use the magic as a technological power source. The Gundams all had different things happened to them. Some were destroyed or thought to have been, some were passed down through families, and some were sold to the highest bidder. No Gundams would have any guns and would fight either with melee weapons or through the pilots magical abilities (fireballs, lightning, etc). The Gundams are actually huge focuses for magical power made from a special alloy. The pilots use their own personal energy reserves to use them and so they're a huge risk for someone to actually pilot.
ReplyDeleteEventually the evil starts awakening and starts sending beasts it creates out to scout or generally run amok in the world looking for a way to release their master. Some Gundam owners also join forces with this evil being as the heroes rise to challenge the evil.
I'd watch that!
DeleteGundams with young adults pilot as main character not 13 or 16 or < 18 year old child as pilot that skill is far way better than veteran or more experience pilot, that's ridicules , when we were that age, we all were in school. More political involve, like Char Aznable and Amuro in Char's Counter Attack. They all grown up.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, Gundam Age turn me totally down when I see small kid involve in war, even after that he and his son and grandson piloting gundam, still.... not suitable for me. Same with V gundam, Age 13 as a pilot of V Gundam. When we were that age, everyone goes to school. Did you see a < 18 year old kid in war in Afgan or Iraq from US? That is now promoted to Captain rank in the age of 18? This kinda things be logic will be better.
i'd like to make a decade gundam series.
ReplyDeleteit doesn't matter what time it is, just a scientist discovered that there is many types of earth in the universe, but it cannot be seen. The scientist made a machine and summoned the other earth to continue to do research.
But the scientist miscalculated that the earth will crash together because of inertia. A boy which dreamed to be a pilot(which is not younger than the Age boy, probably more mature) and saw what scientist is doing. The scientist had invented the decade gundam which will rule all other gundams and the earths.
The scientist told the boy basically how to pilot gundam and died because of sick. The boy never knew that the earth will soon crush together but continued to fulfill the wish of the scientist to defend the earth.
The story goes on and on....

maybe a Turn A prequel ? I would love it, watching the turn A destroys the world at the end of the show
ReplyDeleteHere is my scenario. Much of Earth's natural resources have been spent. The day in which humanity has dreaded for so long has finally come and now the Earth has little to offer but empty and dry land. What scarce resources that still remain are unequally distributed to the privileged class of human population who have now moved into space colonies in space, away from the polluted Earth. The small fraction of humans that live in space live comfortable lives while the large population that were unable to leave the polluted Earth, live in chaos and in poverty. The government, which dictates the distribution of resources and the the conservation of high society keeps these two classes forever separated. They justify their actions by saying how the only way humanity can survive is to decrease the human population to the genetically superior so that when the Earth has finally healed to its original state, humans may come back from the colonies and repopulate the Earth. Those who were not chosen to live in the colonies were considered inferior humans and were left on the polluted Earth to die. Naturally, people on Earth were unhappy over this injustice, which resulted in many small skirmishes around the world. The government eventually organized an elite army on Earth, equipped with state of the art mobile suits to suppress these rebellions. But these suppression operations resulted in massacres where even ordinary citizens not involved with the rebellion were killed as well. Our main character is a 16 year old boy who lives in the colonies. During a trip to another colony, his shuttle is hijacked by people from Earth and is then brought to their spacecraft as a hostage. As a hostage, he learns about the hardships of those who remain on Earth and he learns about the group's goal to overthrow the current government. But with their limited technology, they are unable to do much. For now, they are trying to increase their military strength by stealing weapons from the colonies. The group's current mission is to occupy a secret base on the moon where their informant has told them that on that base, the government's military is researching and building a new weapon. Once they occupy that base, they will steal this new weapon and all data related to it and return to Earth to eliminate the government's elite army. The boy feels sympathetic to the group's cause and decides to help them with their mission. When they arrive at the moon base, the group was able to infiltrate the base and occupy it long enough to find and steal the new weapon. On their spacecraft, they find that the new weapon's code name is Gundam. The boy is assigned as the Gundam's pilot and will now fight for the sake of the people on Earth.
ReplyDeleteIn the future, developed planets sent Gundam pilots traveled through the stars in search of inhabitable planets.
ReplyDeleteLanding on one planet, they decide to leave it alone due to the habitation of an underdeveloped civilization.
Those who saw the Gundams described them as "Gods from the Stars" and built giant temples as statues in their image, with a single altar on the inside for prayer
Eventually an unknown life force from space makes it's way to their planet.
The life force gives consciousness to the statues, manifesting differently within each one.
Although the statues gain consciousness, they are unable to move. Their consciousness allows them to communicate through telepathy however.
One of the malevolent statues beckons to a warrior hero, posing as a god and promising him eternal glory and peace to his people.
He leads the warrior inside the altar, which then closes off upon his entrance.
The warrior's mind resonates with the life force, allowing the statue to become animated through their combined will.
Wall murals on the inside of the statue project the outer environment, serving as the monitor to the Gundam's "cockpit."
As time goes on , the statues consciousness begins to overtake that of the pilot's.
People revere the descended god at first, but begin to fear him due to his harsh rule.
Newly animated statues (now the Gundams of the series) gather and form an allieance.
The first main arc of the series would be about an opposing force of Gundam users from other parts of the country.
Things of note: -The Gundams allow for quicker travel, so some of the Gundams could factor different motifs into their designs based on older art styles.
Example: compare ancient Hindu art to Japanese mythology statues/paintings
-After the Gundams become fully animated, they change project a color scheme over their base statue design
-The Gundams and their pilots serve as 2 separate, yet intertwined characters.
...SOMETHING VERY DIFFERENT...THAT THE WORLD HAS STRUGGLING ABOUT AN MAGNETIC FIELD THAT CAUSE TO DAMAGE EVERYTHING...THIS IS A SECRET EXPERIMENT THAT MADE BY THE SECRET ORGANIZATION "C.O.R.E." , AN ORGANIZATION MADE 2000 YRS AGO...IT IS SECRETLY INSIDE THE EARTHS CORE...CONTROLLING THE EARTHS REVOLUTION AND REACTION OF EARTHS INTO THE HUMANITY...CONTROLLING HUMAN AND ANYTHING THAT HAS A LIFE...BUT THERE IS A BOY LUCKILY SURVIVE IN THIS ACTIVITY THUS THE C.O.R.E. CANNOT CONTROL HIS MIND...BY HIS SKILL HE MADE AN GUNDAM THAT CAN GO INSIDE THIS MOLTEN CORE OF THE EARTH AND DESTROY THE ORGANIZATION... ...THEN THIS WAR BETWEEN C.O.R.E. AND GUNDAM CALLED " DIVINE GUNDAM, A WAR INTO THE CORE "
ReplyDeleteI personally don't have any problems with a series that has an "overpowering Gundam" so long as it's treated properly, like in Char's Counterattack, the Nu Gundam is an overpowering suit but still required the piloting skills of Amuro Ray to be effective (not to mention fighting the Sazabi on an even ground). Same can be said with the unicorn, the Banshee, and the Sinanju which, while being overpowering mechs in Gundam Unicorn, still pretty much depended on the skills or "will" of its pilots to be effective.
ReplyDeleteI would also prefer they break the conventional mode with regards to the titular mobile suit pilots; they all don't have to be angsty-teenagers ala Amuro Ray when he was younger. I agree with some of you that a female lead would be interesting. Of course, I would also prefer that she's a well-trained albeit a rookie pilot instead of a civilian forced to pilot a Gundam because of circumstances. She doesn't have to be an ace pilot even, but someone who is just good enough to run a mobile-suit competently. It would be good to see an oldtype pilot fight on even ground with a newtype "ace". If that's not "realistic" for some, there's always the Nitro system...and then the side-effects of that system should be explored.
Oh and try to cut down on the “Why should there always be war” crap. You have missiles and beam lasers being fired at you: that should be enough convince you that you’re in a war. I don't know, but yelling "STOP" in the middle of a gunfight is probably the most unrealistic thing I've ever seen not only in Gundam but in many other anime.
how about something crazy?? 3 ancient legendary gundam(without pilot) move around...and then interfere with human's war many many years ago...then they were sealed away...in present(most likely about 100-200 years later, another war break out...reviving them would be a key to end the war but in a very destructive way...3 of them(legends) are brothers, fought as a team...soon a boy who is an orphan has his homage crush due to the beginning of war...sought to revenge...he revive one of them (a gunner berserker like a heavily armed assault-gun mid range type)but it went berzerk and ran away. While reviving the second 1(plan to call it Sword Dancer,extreme light and fast, highly agile and thin gundam)the humans military intefere and had the legend killed the whole people without a scratch. So he(it?) asked the boy wat he desire by reviving them...the boy answered vengence, but end up in his heart he slowly changed to a pacifist who wish end the war fast...so the Sword(melee legend transforming type)told him to search for the ultimate fallen brother(the eldest...heavily armed,extremely agile,strongest and superior to the 2 younger brethen)[note: even with the 2 younger to combine strength still no match to him/it?]a well armed for all purpose fighting style, from stealth to 1-all, 1-1, extreme long range support fire, berzerking, extreme swift melee combat, to seek advice from him...storyline wise, developers can change any part...hope they like it LOL ,oh did i mention that boy is a pilot that is slowly become strong...well, human military was developing something to kill 3 legends as well...so a lot of fighting was induced in the search for the 3...while both the berserker and sword dancer are captured, human derived alot of new tech from them...in searching the eldest, which is sealed and discover by a military faction, the boy went through hell and nearly died, in last breath mode, he succeeded in triggering and revive the eldest and so he survived as the eldest went into killing spree mode and had all immobilized(without killing), and thus the conversation begun...
ReplyDeleteRemember that thing Tem Ray gave Amuro at side 6 to boost the Gundam's abilities? Yeah that thing Amuro dismissed as a piece of junk. It was totally legit and magical.
ReplyDeleteIt was retrieved by AE and was used as the basis for psychoframe technology that prevented the Axis Shock incident. Further engineering of the device gave technologies that was used in the UC Project; after the events of Unicorn, God Unicorn went drifting in space and the device was put into storage. Centuries later it would be used was the core of the Ultimate Gundam in an attempt to reform the earth, it gets corrupted and becomes the Devil Gundam. Following it's demise the device is left drifting in space. The device will eventually be assimilated by the ELS probe and learns of earth and it's war like nature. The device is transformed into the Turn X and is sent towards earth. Events of the Dark history creates the Turn A and forces the two units to fight during the time of the Correct Century. The two in it's cocoon like state is pulled into into Jupiter and reawakens millenia later; by then the earth has lost it's old history and was a new world where the events of 00 took place. Setsuna would eventually merge with the ELS and; forever connecting the man who created the Gundam with the man who Became Gundam.
not really a new story but would be quite a nice revelation.
Gundam with no child pilots and must not be IMBA. They can have specific strength in certain area like melee combat but must have weakness and cant take on the whole army with just one suit. Weapons must be primarily projectile base and beam weapon reserve for super IMBA damage with long cool down.
ReplyDeleteStory with 4 way FFA war filled with constant alliance and betrayal between USA, Europe, china and Russia. adding a few neutral state getting pulled in the war would be good too.
A TIME TRAVELLING GUNDAM IN UC TIMELINE.
ReplyDeletehe can meet up with the others, maybe rewrite history.
a story about an evil scientist who wants to take control of the earth, he created a device that can summon a black hole that teleport the gundam antagonist(from all series). while another scientist knew what the evil scientist is doing, so he steal the device to summon the gundam protagonist to oppose the evil scientist's doing.
ReplyDeleteGundam RAGE
ReplyDeleteAfter the aftermath of the Gundam AGE series, a group of 4 angry gundam fans attack the Bandai headquarters, infiltrating the basement which houses a gigantic underground base. They steal a giant mobile suit carrier containing 4 mobile suits based on those from the AGE series, which they rename the RAGE-1, RAGE-2, RAGE-3 and the RAGE-FX, to further show how damn angry they are that that show sucked butt. The group is lead by the masked char-clone character named Suiton, who following the style of a char clone, isn't actually good or evil, and actually doesnt hate the show at all. But is in it all for his own gains, which is to actually take over the Shizuoka Gunpla factory, enslave the employees, and force them to finally release all the Gundams on his wishlist!
However Bandai send waves and waves of GM style grunt suits at the 4 gundam thiefs, and the pilot of the RAGE-FX cannot handle the mobile suit and passes out. The suit crashes in the middle of Akihabara and is instantly swarmed by smelly otaku, who all want to pilot it/take a photo with it for their blog. When suddenly a super handsome and muscular foreigner who happened to be vacationing in Japan, and just happened to be sitting in the Gundam cafe drinking a sweet, sweet red Full Frontal cocktail, going by the alias Gundam Guy bursts onto the scene.
''Get away from that god-damn Gundam you big smelly nerds! Leave this to me!" he yell, while ripping off his shirt exposing his muscular prowess. THe otaku all shuffle out of his way as he heroically struts up to the glorious machine. The cockpit opens automatically as if the gundam is willingly accepting him. He casts the passed out AGE-hater from the cockpit and takes his rightful place in the pilots seat. Due to his years spent accumulation Gundam information he can operate the mobile suit using noting but sheer manly instinct.
The rest plays out like a typical anime: -the first couple of mobile suit pilots go down easily enough.
- He has multiple classes with Suiton who pilots the RAGE-1 normal, now painted red, and can use the RAGE system to change the weapons, arms and legs of the RAGE-1 to parts of gundams from his wishlist.
-Gundam guy is randomly a student in Japanese high school for no apparent reason, and this goes on for more episodes than it needs to.
-the third mobile suit pilot is defeated.
-after a final epic clash with suiton (the char clone) they accept each other and know they will forever remain rival pilots.
-Gundam Guy confronts and defeats the evil organisation who was actually behind it all, and everone lives happily ever after.
-Pointless unrelated movie for money!
clashes with suiton, not classes! ^^
Deletewtf attacking bandai hq, lol
Deleteif you attack bandai hq, you'll also encounter Godzilla, Ultraman, and Power Ranger there :D
That first paragraph made me laugh so hard
DeleteBest Story Ever! In The World!! I love you man!!!
DeleteNice one! Very cool story bro.
DeleteIsn't GG of Japanese ethnicity (Sorry not really sure, all I know is he's Asian)?
DeleteThough he can highlight being a foreigner by speaking in an exaggerated tone or engrish, like "Shinney! Smelly Ohtakku!"
Gundam in feudal Japan. Shin Musha. Honour. Sexist stereotypes. Betrayal. Loyalty. Ronin. Meiko. SHOGUN.
ReplyDeleteYou looking for SD Gundam Brave Battle Warriors?
Deletemore morally ambiguous conflict between two faction, or even three, and the gundam will be the thing to tip off the balance between the three,
ReplyDeleteGundam: Soleil
ReplyDeleteThe year is 79 of the Dark Age Era, and the Sun has died. Earth has become a planet of infinite darkness. The world and its inhabitants have evolved to live without the sun (turning the planet in a very hostile alien-like world). In this evolution there are some humans who have not evolved and seek out artificial light to illuminate their world. Those who embraced the darkness seek to wipe out those who seek the light, and a long drawn out war has been fought for centuries.
Now The Veil have developed a new weapon for their war against The Illuminati known as Shades. Weapons that obliterate all of the conventional weapons of war. The Shades however require a special kind of pilot that has undergone some genetic manipulation. These pilots are known as Shadows.
The Illuminati counter these war machines with their Gundam. A special weapon just as powerful as the Shades, and the pilot is a natural human being who later is revealed to be mankind's next evolutionary step. (This person can be male or female)
male - the forefather
female - the mother to the next evolutionary step
Eventually the project will reveal that the Gundam is a stepping stone to restoring the sun and the earth, pushing humanity back onto another evolutionary course...
legit.
DeleteSounds a lot like "The Night Land" by Hodgson. I like it though! I'd definitely be into an anime treatment of "The Night Land".
DeleteAwesome idea
DeleteAny Timeline will do, what I would want to see is a mix of matured and crybaby gundam pilots, and no more Godlike gundams, Gundam Series with "To kill or to be killed" scenario. I'd love see (the likes of) Heero, Setsuna, and Amuro facepalming (the likes of) Kira and Banagher and that very facepalm would make those two into awesome killsome gundam pilots.
ReplyDeletehere's my idea
ReplyDeletethe setting are between UC0094- UC0095. after the event of Char's Counterattack and before
the Unicorn era.
about a girl, who lives in small country that quite far away from the conflict between zeon
and feddies. they live peacefully, until one day there's a zeon person with his zaku, who
fleed from the battle to hide from feddie's zeon remnant hunt. he tried to hide at a jungle
near this country. and like the other stories, they met each other, and argue about war, and
yes they fell for each other.
till one day, feddie's zeon hunter (a quite arogant and cocky dude) come to this small
country, and sweep the area. the girl scared, and the citizen agreed to bring the feddies to
the zeon guy, to avoid any further useless harm. but before they did that, this guy show up
with his zaku, and give up. they take the zaku away, but still that feddies dude started to
shot randomly at the city, mentioning "all of them are traitor. they provide hideout for the
zeon remnant"
filled with anger, the zeon guy attack the feddies dude and after he destroyed all the
feddies squad there, he come down and search for some survivor.
the city was burned down. he desperate and bursted to tears.
then he hide to the jungle where he hide before, to prepare stuffs and stuffs, and wow he
met her on that place. yes she hide on the jungle where the first time they met.
knowing that now they become fugitives, and the feddies back up about to come, they agreed
that they've got nothing to loose, and nowhere to run. so both of them, inside one zaku,
doing the one last stand facing the feddies.
did they survive? or they died with hand holding each other?
well... you guess it :)
Rather than making a new Gundam Universe how about animating Mobile Suit Gundam UC 0099:Moon Crisis? Not only do we get to see mass produced Zeta type mobile suits but also cameos of Kamille Bidan,Fa Yuiry and Judau Astha.Also we get to see Bright Noa and Mineva Lao Zabi.It can be a 4-5 episode OVA with Gundam Unicorn like animation.I don't think many have read the manga and so it guarantees excitement and curiosity among the Gundam fans of Universal Century and other alternate universes.
ReplyDeleteIdeas?
ReplyDeleteGundam Builders Championship: a battle tournament like G without super powers and lulz. A big battle royale. Only gundams accepted. In this plot, Gundam is a specifically designed mecha, only for the puporse to battle in the tournamet... Then, you will see pro/big budget teams, small teams, "the hero" team, country teams... corporative teams,
Gundam capsule: like pokemon, but with gundams.
Gundam seed reverse: reverse roles... turns from YAOI to YURI. I mean:
FLLAY: the HEROINE (strike pilot)
LACUS: the chilhood friend converted to the ANTAGONIST and reverted to future PARTNER of the HEROINE (aegis pilot)
ATHRUN: the prink prince...ssss No coments.
KIRA: you know,,, he/she is the BITCH!!! and must DIE in this plot.
And you ear/watch things like: Lacus!! Fllay!! LACUS!!! FLLAY!!! LAAAACUUUS!!!!!!! FFFLLLLAAAAYYY!!!
And they turns beserk... like GRAMMAR NAZIS when they read this post...
ahahaha this is becoming to be a story telling contest...
ReplyDeleteI wish that G.G would spare time to read those oh-so long stories. haha
DeleteThey should, people put a lot of effort into them!
DeleteStill, isn't telling stories more productive than people bashing each other for what they like/don't like?
@Anon 7:05am
DeleteI agree. This is way better than reading people arguing & senseless post.
a new series where:
ReplyDelete- a big organization called ZEONISPHERE start a war against all the world
- THE WORLD ALLIANCE formed to defeat them
- THE WORLD ALLIANCE's AGS (Advanced Gear System) mobile suit series overpowered by the ZEONISPHERE's ZACKs, their new generation of super fast & agile mobile suit, thanks to their new built ZCC (ZEON CORE COMPACT) generator by their genius scientist
- after 3 months of battle, ZEONISPHERE's assault teams succesfully defeated 5 nations (USA, Korea, Iran, Rusia, China)
- the protagonist, a member of independent force formed by a guy from Rusia, defeated by ZEONISPHERE's assault team at India when he and his force team unloading their suit (20 old General System/GS suits)
- soon he discovered the entire team dead, but found there's a GS suit still moveable and a box
- he then open the box that contained a blueprint of a MS generator and bring it to their HQ
- the MS generator is finished and insert it to a GS suit that fully modified by him using any part he need in HQ
- accidentally, the HQ discovered by ZEONISPHERE and he fight back with the modified GS
- the modified GS performance is ultimately beyond imagination but still can't match the ZACK
- when he was about to being stabbed by the ZACK, his 'ability' awake
- his brain processing accelerate, the time flow looks slow
- at this moment he control the modified GS that fully able to respond his fast control, evade the stab then slash the ZACK and destroy it
- the scientist of his force that witness this call the modified GS a GUNDAM, a codename of mobile suit blueprint he want to develop, that the modified GS match the specification of it
- then the new story begins
(sorry bad english)
Jangan Zeon namanya Gan / Don't use "zeon" word please ....
DeleteOk, three limitations I've set myself:
ReplyDelete1. Gundam series will be on TV (less budget)
2. Target audience is 18 years or younger
3. Bandai wants plenty of milking opportunities for Gunpla
The Earth has become uninhabitable after centuries of war and humanity has advanced into deep space creating an uneasy alliance of planets. A young boy on a distant planet stumbles across an ancient Gundam (1st model kit!) buried in the sand that encrypts itself onto him when he touches it. Discovery of the Gundam sparks an arms race that eventually leads to all out war on a galactic scale (different grunt kits for all factions!).
Cut forward 10 years, the boy is now a teenager who still harbors guilt for finding the Gundam. One day his planet is attacked so he decides to steal the Gundam from a nearby museum where it is being kept to fend off the attackers. The Gundam recognises him and begins to move. It is more powerful than it looks and the boy manages to kill one of the enemy. Unfortunately the Gundam is too battle damaged to put up a fight and the boy is promptly captured.
On the enemy ship he meets a sympathetic mechanic who upgrades the Gundam with the latest parts (yay new model kit!) and then helps him escape. The boy and the mechanic then travel to a allied planet (using FTL drive) hoping to find asylum. Unfortunately they the military is a bunch of corrupt assholes and detain them. We meet another sympathetic character who is a hot girl and together they steal a ship and escape.
Branded outlaws by everyone, this ragtag group is joined by a couple other refugees they help save from a stranded ship and they decide to become bounty hunters. In the following months the boy matures as the leader of the group despite his young age and the mechanic continues to modify his Gundam (woo another new model kit!).
One day the group discovers an ancient map that leads them back to Earth. On its scorched surface they inadvertently release a evil mastermind with psychic powers from suspended animation who kills the mechanic (obligatory senpai death!) and steals their ship. After many months of salvaging old junk the group manage to escape the Earth only to find the war over and the galaxy ruled by the evil mastermind.
Allying with an rebel army of freedom fighters they fight a last ditch battle to take back the galaxy. The Gundam receives a fancy new makeover (last upgrade kit!) and the final battle begins. Deaths on both sides until the boy meets the evil mastermind piloting his own custom mecha (uber bad guy kit!). He defeats the evil mastermind with both suits is heavily damaged. Epilogue scene of the survivors burying the damaged Gundam in the sand again.
The End
How bout d story concept is like xenogears.
ReplyDeleteAt first, there is war between human and then as the story progress, it was actually all being plotted from the beginning by this evil machine (self proclaim god) created by ancient being and controlled and caused the war event via the human host.in dat way, it will turn the world into chaos, and after some time it will appear and devour all the life on the planet (inluding the earth itself).
About the hero character, he should be adult around 25 above and a mature type. His gundam at first is just the normal poduction type, a bit custom specifically for the hero but not so overpower, its d medium range combatant type (turn to close combat type as the hero turn into berserk mode.and at dat time, the gundam also change into something horrifying-look gundam and overpower),but as the story progress, the gundam gain the 'divine' power a gift from different entity (the force opposing 'god') and change into powerfull gundam(powerfull enough to slay 'god').
For the villain, at first it is human and during halfway of d story, its gonna be the human host (controlled by 'god') and the monstrous creature or mobile suit (corrupted, possessed).
the remake or reimagination (parellel timeline) for After War Gundam X. The series itself had a lot of potential to become a great series, setting and plot wise. It was unfortunate it came out at the wrong timing and thus underrated. Imagine this: First episode, the recreation of the scene where the apocalyptic colonies drop (hundered and thousand of colonies) by using modern CG technology and graphic. This gonna be the single most epic scene in the whole gundam series. I will elaborate more on my idea if this was chosen :D
ReplyDeleteMaybe Gundam wing endless waltz anime adaptation... Or at least a story where gundams can control the pilot if his heart rate increases rapidly(something like the wing zero maybe); Gundams would not be normal mobile suits for war but lost treasures from an ancient civilization that are rares, All this thing with during an era like Final Fantasy XII for the design (imagine gundams but in Rabanastre ;D...)...Just add cool pilots that know the war like Heero or setsuna (not faggots, sorry for the word, like gundam age pilots), add cute girls, make it "ecchi" (it would be the first time for gundam series!), funny and extremely shocking at some moments (maybe gore and sad but with a cool end, not like gundam 00 with the movie...) It could be cool!
ReplyDeleteGundam vs an alien race...
ReplyDeleteI personally would like to see human technology going against an onslaught of aliens. People would say that sounds like Macross... but hear it out:
Sometime in the distant future, mankind after a series of devastating wars on Earth and in space has learned to finally live in relative peace. With its new enlightened vision of the future, humanity reached unprecedented cultural, technological and social progress. They began exploring space as an effort to better humanity.
As humanity ventured farther and farther in to space, certain human colonies unknowingly trespasses the territory of an unknown alien race. A sacred planet is colonized and is seen as a desecration. Seeing humans as aggressive and with no developed means of communication, religious zealots of the alien race begins their campaign to expel the infestation. Extreme members of the alien race goes as far as to plan an extinction event. An invasion was needed to eradicate the human horde. At this time, no known technology could match the superior alien army.
Humanity is driven back to its solar system until a desperate act led to the development of mobile suits and proved that the new technology outperformed the most advanced human made weapons of war at the time of the alien invasion. Mass production begins and the mobile suits seem to have halted the advancing alien army.
Seeing this as another act of aggression from the humans, the alien race develops their own mobile suits which again break the stalemate as their awesome alien technology overwhelms Earth’s mobile suits.
Mean while, small factions within the alien race began to see the futility of the war… they are beginning to notice that perhaps diplomacy is needed since the humans proved to be no match. Perhaps they have misjudged? They tried to communication with the humans but were sabotaged by their own people bent on revenge… same as humans who wanted revenge. Secret emissaries are sent as an effort to communicate with the humans. Human emissaries are also sent as a final attempt to communicate with the aliens. They both encounter various obstacles in the way stopping them from directly opening lines of communication with each other.
Sometime during the war, an alien mobile suit is defeated and taken to be reversed engineered by the humans. The new technology from this is used to develop GUNDAM.
A Gundam suit is developed – later… more powerful versions or upgrades of it is developed. With its human-alien technology – it drives the aliens back. During one major battle, humanity’s armada faces the alien’s greatest fleet. Only a few hours in to the battle, thousands of lives are already lost. The Gundam through luck smashes through the alien defenses and comes face to face with the alien mother ship. Destroying the mother ship would mean driving the aliens back to their solar system. The Gundam is attached by a fleet of custom alien mobile suits. It defeats them all… but the Gundam is severely damaged. The Gundam sees one clear shot to the alien ship’s bridge and takes aim. The alien flagship mobile suit is advancing. The Gundam is about to fire about the same time as the alien mobile suit is about to cut it in half…. But a cease fire is declared by both sides.
It would appear that communication between alien and human is finally established. Fade to black... end. -patrick.gatdula@gmail.com
This explores:
Delete1. Alien mobile suits... a big break from human style mobile suits.
2. It goes into space!
3. It talks about the need for diplomacy and communication.
4. It hints on the need for cultural sensitivity and the futility of religious fundamentalism.
5. It explores humanity's ability to reach amazing progress through peach and brotherhood.
6. Finally... humans fighting non humans and not so powerful right away.
7. ALIEN MOBILE SUITS!!!
Stopped reading at "vs an alien race"...
DeleteSmells like Halo in here.
DeleteThis sounds pretty cool. But yes, it does sound a little bit like Macross, Halo, or what have you. But it is still interesting since the Gundam universe has not explored this kind of story before. I've been reading a lot of the ideas on here and they are great! But it seems just another rehash of the same Gundam plot based on Gundam UC or Gundam Wing.
DeleteAnyway, good try! At any rate... would like another Macross series if Gundam won't do a human vs alien storyline.
To Anonymous February 7, 2013 at 2:28 PM - why don't you post your own original idea since you're so critical and appear to not even read the premise of the idea before commenting. You idiot.
Mobile Suit Gundam Rainbow
ReplyDeleteRainbow to you!!!
DeleteHow about a timeline not far ahead. It take place somewhere in the 21st century or 22nd, a country in South East Asia (just to have 8th MS team esque jungle warfare, let's randomly call it Isketambola) is in midst of civil war between two political party extremist supported by foreign countries. There are tensions between countries during that time because of different views in foreign intervention affair.
ReplyDeleteIsketambola happens to be a country formed from two countries that used to be in war with each others because it is a holy land for more than two religions. UN managed to put a stop to the 100 years massacre by sacking of all the politicians with the help from powerful countries. The country was in peace because the UN army take control and led by a good UN Secretary General. After 30 years, they give democracy to the country by UN letting go the country and let the people vote. There were 4 parties with different sentiment. All is well because citizens were tired of seeing blood spilled. until politicians starts to do diplomacy with other countries to support their sentiment and the sentiments starts to brings the old scars back and create segregation and extremists starts to fight each others backed up by corrupted politicians backed up by foreign countries to protect their sentiment. That's the background story.
Let's start with the main story. Prof Auburn gave Sixto a blueprint of a small rechargeable energy generator that can power up a city for five months and is rechargeable. He don't want to give it to his country (Canterika) that will use it to create war machines. He asked Sixto to travel to Isketambola to meet his old colleague to keep the blueprint for research to be use in the future for the good of mankind.
Sixto went to the place and met Arjunaidi who happened to be a Gundam freak, he knows that building 18 meters giant is far fetch. With the exo technology around he innovate them and create an OS that can let the exoskeleton learn from experience, movements and battles per say. He created two exo, for fun, not for war from scraps that he savage from deadman exos. The exos he built has no weaponry at all but have Gundam-esque design. He can't use the blueprint to power the exos because he don't understand it at all. But they were hunted by the extremists backed by Canterika for the blueprint. So they use the exos to run away, and Arjunaidi starts to weaponize the Gundam for battles. But I want it to be unarmed for few interventions. and all the drama can be develop from here. Too long already.
A world war can start in the new series in that time line. (Like Zeta to 0079)
I'm just trying to set up a timeline with countless possibilities like what Universal Century had done and the reason why many hails UC because of the point of views that it brought. Very wide, from tv series to OVA each have things to tell in different ways, different methods, with different agendas, and different point of views from different personnel yet connected while giving space for technology to evolve like mobile phones to smart phones and people can see the process.
DeleteMaybe the politics will never ever happen in real world, (to have 2 countries at war combine into one by sacking the politicians and bring them to justice will never happen in real world.) Maybe something need to be polished here and there, but I'm sure about countless possibilities with the political background that I set.
Really isketambola? We can put the main character as p. Ramlee...anyway, nice idea...
DeleteWhat about something like a secret war? Imagine if you could a world where no one even knows if they're on earth or in a space colony, the governments at hand keep the status of your life secret.
ReplyDeleteThe story would focus around a mobile space colony that is seeking to reclaim earth...and how are they doing it? Video games.
The newest craze in Olympus(stand in name for the colony) is a high-tech super realitic war game called simply "Great Machine" in which you play the role of a pilot of one of these "Great Machines" or "GM" for short...but rumor has it in the gaming world that you can...if your really luck get a Legendary secret Machine, a Unique variant...whispers of something called a "Gundam"
The pilots would be of all ages and types as at first the "game" would only be known as such, then things will get serious when a "Terrorist Group" reveals to Olympus that the game is anything but, chaos ensues, lines are drawn, and many gamers join the "terrorists" in their goal of stopping Olympus from conquering earth and other colonies.
Simple story really, Humanity at the brink of extinction due to a very long running war against a terrible but relatively unknown "evil" enemy hell bent of the destruction of all life in the universe - The "last hope" is to construct a gundam and select a pilot, and fling them back in time to stop the destruction from happening - but here's the twist - they get sent too far back and the forces on earth think of this gundam as the ememy - pilot is torn, faced with many moral dilemmas with the knowledge that something terrible is "on its way". Has room for development I think, a final "twist" being the original "evil force" originated from the time-travelling gundam somehow "creating" that evil from the original hate towards him. What goes around, comes around story, kind of an "intertwined" timeline.

ReplyDeleteI would like a new system in Gundam and I've created Integrated Mobile suit Pilot Utilize Link Superiority Element system(I.M.P.U.L.S.E system).This system is very simple,it allows the pilot to connect all of the pilot's physical anatomy synchronize with the the gundam anatomy,therefore the pilot can gain full control of the gundam him/herself,and the disadvantage of the system is when the gundam is damage one of the part of itself,it immediately send a signal(impulse I assume) direct to the pilot,the pilot will feel the pain but no damage on the pilot him/herself.This system is basically like a human with power and extra ordinary abilities depends on the gundam itself and armaments
ReplyDeleteI want to see a steam punk gundam set in victorian style England, with the gundam rising out of the mists and using a gigantic gatling gun.
ReplyDeletea world where gundam is refered as a GOD
ReplyDeleteall of the Gundam Pilot are Gods themselves(pick you olympian name)
they rule over mankind, does whatever pleases them
then 1 of the Gods fell in love with a human
and abandoned his Godhood
and take a gundam with him
angered by his betrayal, after years of searching
the other gods find him and finally kill him and his wives at their old age leaving his teenage son alive
then his son ride a gundam and vow to take revenge at the gods
who kill his father and mother
and so on
The life and battles of the Zeon remnants in Earth and Space. No resources, no support. Only all they can find and reuse. Few food and water, always in hiding. Battle after battle
ReplyDeleteGundam in the deep water ocean. That could have underwater colonies that suck up ressources that now lack on surface, its ask for independance and boom! war new prototype gundam etc...
ReplyDeleteLet me try something too...
ReplyDeleteIn the year 1989 AD, the world is changing at a faster rate as the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United began to thaw, a Mobile Suit transported down to our world
Tomino Yuuji, an 18-year old college student has stumbled upon a Gundam-type Mobile Suit called DBG-47-007 GU Gun in Tokyo, Japan, together with a female pilot named Ryn Degwin. Utilizing nano-machines, the GU Gun not only can make objects out of nothing, but it can alter the course of history.
It might be destiny for Yuuji to fulfill his longtime dream of piloting a Gundam, but he must face reality as he, together with Ryn, faces an unknown force from another dimension called the Excalibra Star Control Army (EXSCA) as well as the two superpowers from our world.
What do you think?
Continuing from my post here...
ReplyDeletehttp://gundamguy.blogspot.com/2013/02/what-would-you-like-to-see-for-next.html?showComment=1360174428397#c1458433032313349036
The Gundams are equipped with a prototype sensor that can read the pilot's brainwaves to help improve unit movements.
Of course there will be a mass-produced version to be equipped in ordinary MS too at later point, but the prototype on Gundams will also have a specific amplifier that can give further boost by detecting a high level of the pilot's emotion.
The effect will vary depending on whether the emotion type is good or bad.
There will be a secret antagonist faction that would be pulling the strings on most of the event in this series, and they're equipping some of their pivotal units with a special barrier field that is almost impregnable to any kind of attacks.
The only thing that could break this barrier is an overcharged concentrated shot from a Gundam. Thus this would create a contrary from the common setting where the 'shield' is instead used to invade and oppress, while the 'spear' is used to defend and protect.
However of course this cannot be abused often, as it obviously puts a great strain on both the Gundam and the pilot. If the attack is overused multiple times in a short time, it is not improbable that the pilot will die and/or the Gundam explode from overload.
A mobile suit from the future travels back to current time to destroy an alien ms that would upon being seized be used as a blueprint to advance warfare and threaten Earth's longevity. But there never was an alien MS as the truth was obscured to the advantage of involved party in posession of the future MS.
ReplyDeleteThe reported threat of possible alien invasion and the blueprint of the attained MS is used to kickstart an arms race that leads to satellite weaponry, highly advanced jet fighters, and mobile suits. Aliens never come, but mankind is its own biggest threat so the weapons are used in wars for political, economic, territorial gain.
The pilot is locked away for years. He manages to flee, uncovers the truth, but is assasinated before he can reveal the truth that would prevent his future self from traveling back.
Follow a financially well off (at first) band of "oppressed freedom fighters" from a country labeled as a threat and consistently attacked for various reasons, mostly resources. The band acquires suits from a shady party and their battles focused mostly on one opposing country's military attempts of regional invasion/occupation go up the chain to unravel suppressed truths and media spins that keep war thriving.
The main cast's age range from 20 - 40s consisting of strategician, pilots, mechanics, and an informant. Mobile suits are mostly grunt units. Awesome looking yeah, but not over the top. Urban, dessert, and jungle battles.
This fictional world's story has many stories to be told (side stories, sequels, prequels), but focuses on one group's gritty story. The events prior to the time traveling MS are for either a movie or second season.

Gundam VS Godzilla!!!!
ReplyDeletePacific Rim. Coming your way in July 2013.
DeleteI want to see another 08MSTeam-ish story where the protagonist is just a normal soldier at war, piloting scrap suit without fancy beam cannons and power up. In addition, I want the story to be as dark as Victory Gundam where the entire team is annihilated except the protagonist, thus bringing him into the spotlight. I want him as an adult, not a spoiled 15 year old kid. No newtype, coordinator, innovator, generator, or refrigerator.
ReplyDeleteGood character development is the key!
#1 Beginning
Still between zeon and federation, I want the protagonist as zeon soldier who is very skilled at tactical war in space. He is in charge of zeon's front line. While being a soldier, he is assigned to a team led by a veteran commander. I want them to pilot costumized zakus. The zeon fleet, which the protagonist is in, has set up a base in the debris belt (DB) to avoid detection by the federation. In this phase, he participates in several battle scenes, gaining experiences as well as displaying his superb piloting skill. Missions: intercepting federation supply cargo intended for the moon base, ambushing patrolling federation ships, and capturing federation’s mobile suit factory found at the other side of the debris belt. Great chance to sufficiently expand other characters: the commander and other pilots in the team.
#2 Conflict
After several successful ambush mission, the team are promoted as a special detachment team specialized in stealth and destroy missions and are set to reinforce zeon’s main fleet. Zeon plan a huge assault on federation moon base to gain control around the orbit. During this mission, their team is assigned to infiltrate the base undetected. However, en route to the targeted location, they spotted a suspicious cargo at the other side of the battle field. It is nuclear caches! At the same time, they are found out by massive number of veteran GMs plus one gigantic mobile armor owned by the federation which assigned to defend the cache (usually zeon is the one who has mobile armors: apsalus, alpha azieru and such). After a long desperate battle, the protagonist managed to heavily damaged the most of GMs and disable the MA at the cost of his teammates and the commander. He is forced to abandon his mission and retreat with his critically damaged zaku as the zeon's frontline is surprisingly wiped out, thanks to the new model mobile armors assisting the moon fleet.
#3 Climax
The federation acts fast. With zeon being weakened by their failed siege mission, the federation move their remaining moon fleet to chase the zeons, outnumbering them. Zeon forces retreated to their grand base hidden in an abandoned colony. The protagonist, still being shaken by the loss in the moon’s surface, must fight once again against nuclear equipped federation fleet. Now, he is promoted as a commander of the debris belt team. Using his tactical ability, he moves his DB fleet to flank the federation army and wait undetected. When a huge war started close to the abandoned colony, he forced his fleet to fight towards the nuclear caches at the backline of the federation fleet to capture and backfire them to the federation. In the process, he managed to capture one federation carrier carrying the caches but lost his entire DB fleet. With the federation fleet being pinched in the middle, he desperately started the spare engines of the captured ship and set the nuclear missiles to detonate in the middle of the federation fleet, causing heavy damage on both sides but successfully forced the enemy to retreat.
Later, he found himself floating astray in the space before being found by a zeon rescue ship. Whilst regretting to lose many of his comrades, some by his own hands, he returned to zeon and become a legend for that era.

ReplyDeleteRe-post: There's been a reoccurring trend in Gundam series over the years to default to U.C. story lines, especially towards the end of their run. For example, the entire 2nd season of 00 was a Zeta Gundam clone. The last leg of Wing turned into Char/Zechs trying to crash Axis/Libra into the Earth, a la Chars counterattack. Most recently, Age paralleled the abomination that was Victory, with loosely developed characters needlessly being killed left and right, along with a weak and undeveloped female supporting cast. Today, Unicorn is well received for its top notch animation, engrossing plot, developed and motivated characters, and most importantly the ability to present and execute new ideas by reflecting on the past without being bound to it. The next Gundam series needs to move beyond the limits of the U.C. story lines and take a look at the fundamental story that made the original series and its other popular incarnations great. At the heart of every Gundam series there is the basic story of a son/new generation piloting their father/forerunners mobile suit(s) for the sole reason of creating change in their world. There motivations, allegiance(s), and purpose can all be fleshed out with good pacing of the story, a pilot viewers can personally relate to, and a world with real people and real issues. Specifically a world that isn't the backdrop for beam spam and political shenanigans (looking at you Seed and Wing). Viewers shouldn't be forced to reach ep. 48 out of 49 to see all of the casts previous motivations, and personal development thrown out the window, then have it labeled as a plot twist; that's simply poor writing (Age). Regardless of what happens people will continue to watch Gundam anime and film, buy Gunpla, and make the trek to Odaiba to see the 1/1 size RX-78-2. Only by developing the world of a protagonist, and investing in the growth, maturity, and them and their supporting cast can the next Gundam TV series bring in new fans and retain the majority of older ones.
ReplyDeleteRepost reply: As much as I've enjoyed Unicorn I wouldn't exactly call it original or groundbreaking. The show pretty much panders to old school UC fans and is not really designed to bring in new viewers. Mind you, I'm not criticizing the show since they clearly know what their audience wants but I tried showing a friend Unicorn once and they were completely lost within the first 10 minutes.
DeleteFor any new Gundam series in the future they need to stop doing the whole WWII in space angle, no more facist Zeon clones, no more gestapo clones, and definitely no more Vietnam war Gundam either. Start bringing the show into the 21st century by dealing with more relevant issues like urban decay, crime, economic crisis, oil shortage, world hunger, etc. That I think is a good place to start.
I'm thinking on a gundam with a story similar to the armored core games:
ReplyDeleteIn the future the earth is overpopulated, the food production is not enough for so many people, and the land and natural resources are a luxury. The governments see that the only solution is migrate to the space, but the cost of building a space colony is so prohibitive that no country want to take the initiative. Later the problem of the population becomes so big that some countries contract private companies to lessen the costs and build the colony.
The mobile suit tech is developed by some companies to help the process of building the colonies, later they sell it to various armies as weapons and peace-keepers. During that time the power of some companies becomes so big that they start to influence governments and taking a monopoly over the colonies, later they start to impose their rules and at last they go in open war against the governments to "protect their interests", and using more advanced mobile suits they easily win.
Jump some decades in the future, the people all live under a contract with a company, where a person is an employee and live under they rules, and in exchange the company gives them food and protection.
-------
On a side note it will be really good if they make a tv gundam series with a (non loli) female protagonist, , and it will be better if tehy pull a "samus is agirl" on everyone.
The world is divided into four factions:
ReplyDelete"Skylanders": Living in Space-colonies
"Deepwaters": Living in Sea-Colonies
"Earthbound": Living in a gigantic city (Earth-colonie)
"Freelancers": Nomads and people who are not living in one of the three big colonies
While the three colonies are constantly fighting and have wars, the "Freelancers" are the most hurt by this fighting.
So one Freelancer-colonie formed a new fighting machine from stolen parts and named it "Gundam". With this machine the freelancers are now dominating the battlefields but now they become more and more aggressive and arrogant and so a big war beginns to sprout over the whole world.
After a few month the three big colonies managed to build their own Gundam-like modells and the war beginns to become crazier than before.
Thats my idea but i haven´t managed to get it in proper order or to make an appropriate ending for it. () Sorry for bad english)
Crossbone Gundam!
ReplyDeleteI'm a massive 00 fan so naturally I would like too see a continuation of that. 00 left us with a deep space exploration ship, the Sumeragi and on top of that Tieria is on board. Humanity might have reached a state where there is no longer conflict but whats to say the rest of the galaxy has reached that state?
ReplyDeleteThe Sumeragi could easily get caught up in an interstellar warfare between two previously unknown races. Not only does that present an interesting concept unique to Gundam it also presents a situation where there can be lots of interesting design work.
A new lead could present themselves and desperately defend the ship from this 1st barbaric attack using one of the work based mobile suits. Tieria in the meantime would contact Setsuna asking for assistance. The Sumeragi manages to escape and heads back to Earth but at the cost of Setsunas life. In his last words he could ask the new lead to carry his ideals and find a way to end the conflict. This takes the ELS Quanta out of the equitation and motivates the new lead.
The Sumeragi crew members are shocked by what happened and thanks to our new lead eventually decide to head back and try to end he conflict. At this point the ship is loaded with new Gundams equipped with real GN Drives and heads out to complete it's mission.
This plot would present the opportunity for a lot of unique designs and characters. Done correctly the plot would also be amazing and presets the opportunity for interesting relationships between the characters from both the Sumeragi and our warring fractions.
It is the year PT (Post TerraFormation) 332. Over 500 years have passed since humanity began to grow beyond the confines of Earth. To counteract its over-burdening population, the world’s leaders ventured into the stars, and began terraforming the rest of the planets in the solar system, creating new-earths throughout the stars. For the first time in human history, generations have gone without war and humanity has known a pure peace. That was, until the year PT 300. Due to errors in the terraforming process, the outer planets had begun to deteriorate, threatening the lives of everyone on the planets. Instead of helping their citizens, the central government turned their backs on the outer rim, and zoned it off, writing the planets off as a lost cause, dooming all the inhabitants to a desolate life devoid of support or hope. This act caused an uprising, and began the first galactic conflict. The outer rim launched a rebellion, rising up against the government that abandoned them. 12 years have passed since the war began, and consistently the central government has managed to beat the rebellion at every turn. But now, a group of scientists in the central government, allied to the rebellion, have given plans for new mobile weapons which utilize nuclear technology, deemed “Gundams”, to the outer rim, in hopes of bringing a swift end to humanity’s first war in the stars. With the Gundams, will the outer rim finally be able to win their war for survival?
ReplyDeleteAwesome idea!!
Deletethose images are awesome..it's like Gundams from another universe or galaxy..and that's what i want for the story..i want it to involve crossing of dimensions or galaxies and unmanned Gundams as inhabitants..kinda like the transformers..where there are Gundam Cores where humans need to tap into to bind with the Gundams and control them and move as one..
ReplyDeletei basically have this plot in mind..it's also like my voice over of the story i have in mind if it hits its pilot episode..hahaha =)
"Life on other planets."
"The mirror is a portal to another dimension."
The truth isn't really that far from these beliefs.
A few galaxies away from our own,lies another planet that houses life just as Earth does. And with living, breathing humans such as ourselves, planet Threa is their home. Only in their planet, they are not the dominant species. They are servants to their masters, called Gundams. Cold, giant, unmanned, godlike machines, ruthless and oppressive, rule over the humans. They have no heartbeat, no pity over the humans. They rule with tyranny and threat. And the humans, small and weak compared to them, are ants, following their orders, making metal for their masters. These was their life in Threa, until they die of service, and their children would live to suffer the same faith.
But life on Threa wasn't always as cold and cruel. Over ten thousand years ago, humans and gundams lived in peace. Both sharing fruitful lives together. And those humans who are chosen by the gundams as their masters, share a bond stronger than blood, and those gundams with this bond with their chosen human counterparts, are known as Sentinels, guardians of planet Threa.
It was only after the invasion of another planet from a neighboring galaxy, that Threa lost its life of peace. Scourges from planet Rathe invaded Threa, defeating the Sentinel Gundams (Sentinels) and taking over the planet and the humans, for their own supply of humans in Rathe had been depleted.
And now, as the humans of Threa slowly decrease, Scourge Gundams (Scourges) plan to invade the next planet that houses life, Earth. And it is up to one slave and his friends to revive, and re-bind with the Sentinels buried deep in the grounds of Threa. They must find a way to tap and reconnect to the gundam cores of their ancestors' Gundam counterparts, to stop the scourges, reclaim their once peaceful planet, and save Earth.
=D
and the gundam would basically be like the one shown above, it's a Sentinel to be specific..and the Scourges would be darker and demonic looking. kinda like the Decepticons..
Love it! There are a few posts here that explores Gundams vs. alien mobile suits. I think it would be cool to see alien mecha!
DeleteIn an era where the NewType population has increases greatly the colonies are plagued with race riots and class warfare. The Colonies are tearing themselves apart as brother fights brother for the right to survive. The Federation signs the NewType Regulation Act granting Catharsis, a mercenary group with heavy ties to Dr. Albenrook's "Judas Initiative", the power to restrict man's evolution for the betterment of civilization. With all the violence against NewTypes the Outer Ring Survey Group opens its doors to any refugees. Years later from the asteroid belt The Irreproachable rise with retribution in their hearts and a legion of immensely capable NT pilots. At the heart of their power are the new TrailBlazer Cannons, weapons capable of delivering a massive payload unerringly to a target using psycommu manipulated I-fields. With their elite unit known as The Peerless, The Irreproachable seek to shift the balance of mankind in favor of NewTypes. But is a world where NewTypes rule OldTypes any better?
ReplyDeleteQuestions like this hang heavy on the mind of young pilot Rung Arhat, who finds himself at the controls of the Tidal G, an experimental mobile suit of immense ability. A Gundam capable of manipulating the minovski saturated waves of space to achieve unbelievable speeds and hold unmatchable power. But within it is a dark secret, the calculations for developing the Minovski Pulse Wave, a weapon that can change not only the direction of the war, but mankind's very destiny. As he outruns both sides of the war who seek such power, Rung must discover who killed his father, a discharged Catharsis pilot, and what purpose his mother plays in The Irreproachable's final plan. Should man deny himself genetic destiny for sake of stability? Or shall he be rightfully oppressed by his evolutionary superiors? These questions and more will be answered in New Mobile Suit Century: Gundam Ascension, and its inevitable movie sequel Flanagan's Folly. Airing this Nevermber at 99Am NotaDay.

• Main Character Ren-Exar-Droma
ReplyDelete• Ren-Exar-Droma will need to battle his emotions, by deciding what is a larger priority his friendship of his country.
• Ren-Exar-Droma is a teenager from Earth who immigrated to the Colonies when he was 3 years old. Half way through high school a war breaks out between the Colonies and Earth, with his family’s pride and alliance with the Earth alliance he is pressured to fight for the Earth and joins the 51st mobile suit army. The alliance, having an upper hand, invades the colones. Ren-Exar-Droma is then sent to fight in the coloney he grew up in. While on a patrol a group of colonial freedom fighters ambush Ren-Exar-Droma’s mobile suit squad, Ren-Exar-Droma is then sent to flank and fire upon the enemy but he recognizes a familiar voice, his best friend from high school, unable to shoot at his best friend his squad is killed by the freedom fighters losing his solider friends from Earth. That is how the journey will begin, it will end by Ren-Exar-Droma having to make the decision to even fight at all, questioning the very personal and moral beliefs such as honor and pride, yet at the same time questioning war and the prospect of how to win a war. The decision he makes could even result in his own death for the greater good.
• Ren-Exar-Droma most overcome cultural and personal beliefs as well as the act of killing a best friend in the cause “for the greater good”. Ren-Exar-Droma’s emotions will have to be questioned, and his very existence will be questioned as well
• The story will end by having Ren-Exar-Droma lose his Earth best friend at the hands of his old best friend. The two friends will realize how wasteful war is after the try to kill each other in a intense mobile suit fight, they also realize that both Ren-Exar-Droma and his best friend have lost their family’s to war questing war itself and its motives. But before they can leave the battlefield their alliances (the colonies and Earth) call upon them for one final and decisive battle , the two then make the decision, independently, to fight in order to show humanity the ugliness of war. During the battle Ren-Exar-Droma and his friend meet, while they are fighting Ren-Exar-Droma’s mobile suit gets blown up and he gets ejected out tearing of his arm and leg. His best friend then exits his mobile suit and runs over to him but is gunned down by Ren-Exar-Droma’s new Earth best friend in a hail of bullets; Ren-Exar-Droma survives the battle to share his story, spreading the message of peace to all of humanity. Realizing the foolishness in fighting the world decides to totally ban war.
• Ren-Exar-Droma at first does not have a definitive reason for fighting other than protecting his family’s honor, but his real journey begins when he encounters his old best friend in combat, drawing new Conclusions about war, taking into account the toll war has on humanity questioning the reasons humans fight and other emotional and moral questions he eventual answers throughout his journey.

That doujinshi of gundam with that transforming lion gundam called hundred gundam. I havent read it but I think that would be good I love the designs
ReplyDeleteI would like to see a Police Gundam series, sure its sounds like a ripoff of Patlabor but its something Gundam hasn't done yet.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be really to go back to mobile suit gundam but from a totally new perspective. That of a mobile suit designer for the principality of Zeon. I know MS Igloo did a testing team's perspective but I would like to see a series explaining what happened to msv suits and why they were not used in the war. They could also incorporate testing and even attacks on Research and development buildings during the capture of zeonic colonies. It's characters would include the top developers who after their main facilities were destroyed began to use whatever they could to engineer mobile suits in hiding which they would use to fight for zeon in it's final moments
ReplyDeleteI think this is awesome! The war from Zeon's perspective! ...or how about an alternate timeline in which Zeon develops the Gundam and wins the war. A what if... story.
Deletei want to see haman kahn again? Got it the return of Queen neo zeon (full armore qbeley)
ReplyDeleteI don't really have a plot idea in mind, but I would like to see the series shift back to something a little bit more mature (was never a fan of the more Kiddy versions of Gundam). I know its too much to ask, but it would be refreshing to get a truly darker version of a gundam series, ala the Battlestar Reboot. On the Flip-Side, however, I would also love to see the Builders mini-series fleshed out into a full Season. Kit-bashing FTW, and it would make a hell of a lot more sense than those stupid Destiny recycles.
ReplyDeleteEach country has its own gundam army.theyre fighting another world war.lets say ww6? Sides would be a future counter part of the allies and axis.but some innocent dude discovery a legendary gundam which could turn the side of the war..
ReplyDeleteMy wishlist:

-Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Gaiden:
OVA series about 50 minute sidestories about Manga and last parts also about VS ASTRAY.
Then this is my real imagination (also fix my comment before):
ReplyDelete- a big organization called LIGHTSPARK, backed by MEKANIK INOVATIE (an industry known by their innovative & groundbreaking mobile suit development & technology) start a war against all the world, to bring 'light' to the whole world (this 'light' is a system they mention as the real 'freedom', everyone can do anything, anything they want, the strong one will lead the weak, can do anything to them, because they weak, the world need the strongest & these were human's nature)
- all the world respond to this, and started to form the WORLD ALLIANCE FORCE, but their armies defeated easily by the LIGHTSPARK's light, fast, agile, thick, & destructive suit called GUNDAM (the name come from unknown mobile suit that save the earth from gigantic meteor years ago, & the people then called it GUNDAM)
- 3 months after, LIGHTSPARK successfully conquered USA, RUSSIA, CHINA, KOREA, & JAPAN
- the LIGHTSPARK's GUNDAM built in 3 series, the MB (Mass Built) series, the LPA (Limited Personal Ace) series, & the XR (X-Rated) type that still unknown & under development by MEKANIK INOVATIE, all of them have the newfound strong energy-based weaponry (light saber, lightning gun, & energy shield) & great performance higher than the AGSs & even the original GUNDAM from this universe (the AGS itself was a though & great MS before the introduction of LIGHTSPARK's GUNDAM series)
- the protagonist who lost his fiancee, became a member of a rebel force formed to defend their nation (PAKISTAN)
- he and his teammate meet their backer to take the 20 newly arrived GMS (General Model System, the standard suits used by several nations before the introduction of AGS) suits, but attacked by LIGHTSPARK's GUNDAM forces, leaving only him alive, 1 severely damaged GMS but still movable, and a big crate contained a new built MS reactor, a highspeed MS processing motherboard, and a blueprint of a new suit
- after he back to his hidden HQ, the force's mechanic examine the contents of the crates, repair the damaged GMS, install every pieces of the parts he accepted before, check the performance, & find that the parts ultimately revamped the performance of the original GMS higher than before, then tune it again & install another his newly built part
- the protagonist soon use this suit to defend the base from the LIGHTSPARK's MB GUNDAMs, though the suit still couldn't match the GUNDAM and nearly being stabbed, his 'power' awakes (his brain processing rate going faster than normal, all his senses respond his brain, then all movement in his sight slowing, like he have the power to slow the time), then stabbed & destroyed a GUNDAM with a heat dagger in a fantastic fast movement (his suit even can match his controlling speed at this 'powered' situation), finally destroyed every GUNDAM with his borrowed light saber from the first destroyed GUNDAM in a fast & agile movement
- after this, he & the mechanic modified the suit so it have a modified head with 2 'eyes' and V fin, modified armor & appearance, more thrusters, a light sword & heat knive as the weapons, a new suit that focus on fast movement & close range combat, they called it EG-XX GUNDAM AGILS (Enhanced GMS mobile suit, number unknown, GUNDAM AGILS)
- so the journey begin...
The Fate of Amuro Ray and Char Aznable as the greatest rivals showing their final and last fight and deaths and who are their children, featuring their life after 0093 and will end and connects Gundam Unicorn.. w/c they will show the fall of neo Zeon and the rise of a new Neo Zeon (Sleeves) and how they stole the MS(es) like the Sinanju Stein. the development of Unicorn gundam from Nu Gundam.I am also thinking of telling more about Full Frontal.
ReplyDeleteSo in other words Neo Zeon is the Protagonist and the Earth Feds are the Antagonist in the new series.
-Sieg Zeon!
Tentative Title: Mobile Suit Gundam: CODE
ReplyDeleteBackstory: With the threat of ecological collapse, The Nations of Earth struggle to save humanity from a global apocalypse of their own making. Under the UN, Many countries have organized themselves and launch their plan: full scale emigration into space. Other nations, seeing the alliance of so many others as a threat, begin a nuclear war which only escalates the oncoming catastrophe. By the time the first colonies are finished and migration begins, the Earth is in shambles, the former nations nothing but husks, and the population has taken a heavy plunge. The survivors reorganize themselves into the Federation of Space Colonies (FSC for short) and continue the expansion of the space settlements. As a result of the previous war, Nuclear Weapons are banned and the Earth is considered a no man's land, and people are prohibited from returning until the environment recovers. The dawn of the FSC brings a new age and a new calendar to go with it, The New Common Era (NCE).
The year is 0093 NCE, and the FSC Defense Forces begin research and development into humanoid military vehicles (Mobile Suits, of course) for defense of the colonies and, in another sense, a symbol of the power and resilience of the human race. Elsewhere, on the Moon, The autonomous zone of the Selenic Republic (SR), created mostly from the descendants of the survivors of the hostile nations which started the nuclear war, are developing their own Mobile Suits. The leaders of the SR, as fiercely independent and zealous as their ancestors, feel that it was the agenda of the FSC to cut their access to the resources of the Earth that they feel they are entitled to, and for now bide their time until it's time for retaliation.
Synopsis, First Episode: 0112 NCE: War erupts as the SR launch their campaign against the FSC, by gassing the capital colony.
0113 NCE: Our protagonist, a twenty year old daydreamer with a talent for machines visits the FSCDF base on his home colony to visit his childhood friend, an officer (Lieutenant JG). She chastises him for not making anything of himself and suggests he offers his talents to the Defense Force. He declines, saying that he would have before the war started and references the damage done to the Earth by "the stupid people who couldn't share". In the mean time, knowledge of the Defense Forces new experimental Mobile Suits was leaked and a team from the SR are sent to retrieve information on and steal, the experimental Suits. Back at the base, Our protagonist talks with his friend as they look at the Mobile Suit training. Suddenly, the alarm goes off and the soldiers are called to defend the colony as they are under attack. The protagonist is left, being told to find shelter before his friend leaves to defend the base. Seeking shelter, he wanders into the hangar, and comes across three mobile suits: the Gundams CODE: Blue, CODE: Red, and CODE: White. From the SR Ship, someone gets a visual on CODE: Red.
Now that's an idea
DeleteProbables :
ReplyDeleteCrossbone Gundam 24 ep. ( Crossbone vanguard + Steel seven )
Kidou senshi Gundam san ( 15 min. parody + short storys )
Remaster series : Seed destiny, Gundam Origin, etc.
Unprobables :
1. A paraplegic Soldier went to a strange planet for mineral excavation using blue mobile suits with close encounter of a third kind
2. A Girl who wont a ticket to the moon finds in the dark side of the satellite a spaceship with a advance Mobile Suits, and pick a yellow transformable one as her personal vehicle
3. A nerd boy who is a Gundam Extreme Vs. fan suddenly been abducted by suck in to the game , the only way to get out is beat the game to its final battle without a loose or trap for ever !!!
ahhh how creative!!!
DeleteFor #1, they found out that the planet is inhabited by similar looking sentient mobile suits. The guy falls in love with a mechababe and in the end has his mind downloaded onto his mech.
DeleteI always wanted a series where it's a post-apocalyptic world. Where everything is destroyed and life on earth is struggling to survive but as always there will be oppression from a new group called The "Zereste" they are rogue savages who got there supplies from others. There mobile suits were salvaged from underground bunkers and spare parts. Plus, they have a powerful intimidating masked leader named " SIR SVALATA" piloting is custom salvaged close-combat mobile suit SAMS-00-X Dominion. But a young lad aims to stop the oppression of his people and find a way to end the conflict of every people. When he stumbled upon an abandon mineshaft where he saw a very damaged mobile suit that needed repair and that suit is called a "GUNDAM" with combine effort with his friends they were able to repair it. They called the gundam SAMS-XX-1 Felgrand but it still lacked weapons because it only had a broken sword called "Delta blade" but the gundam gets weapons and guns and armor i every battle at some time they finally made a group called "Windraiders".
ReplyDeleteNew Gundam series plot:
ReplyDeleteA young engineer's colony is attacked by a military army. He escapes bringing with him the blueprints of a mobile suit. He finds himself in another colony where he meets a young mercenary. The young mercenary pilots a grunt mobile suit as his personal suit. The engineer asks the mercenary for protection. They travel together and find a ruin, which was once an abandoned military facility. They make this their makeshift base to complete the mobile suit in the blueprints. However, their base was found when they have already completed the suit. The mercenary was defeated due to the overwhelming numbers of the enemy. The completed suit has a special ability and it fuses with the grunt suit, forming the gundam. The mercenary beats the enemies.
They travel together meeting other people. Many groups hear about the completed suit, wanting to get their hands on it. In their travels, they uncover many secrets especially about the military.
20 years after the events of victory and humanity was starting to recover after years of war they decide to focus on medical studies and restoration of earth but when a nanobot is used to find the cure for cancer and other disorders a zeon reformist group sees it as a possible weapon a cold war breaks out over the new technology and the reformists take colonies by hostage and use force to keep them under control but it turns out not all the nano bots were destroyed data was collected from the remains and used to create a new mobile suit dubbed the "gundam infinity" but this broke the treaty there was leaked info on this suit and it was hidden away later conflict breaks out to get the suit and a boy named Imadori gets the suit passed down to him by his father the lead of the development team.the reformists send a ships to attack the colony group that Imadori lives in he uses the gundam to defend his colony and joins with the argama V they contact the league military on earth and tell them to start rallying forces meanwhile they start to head for the drop point where they will drop to earth and meet up with the federation/league military forces at their hawaii base and attack the reformists base but they are ambushed by enemy forces and a makeshift prototype mobile armour they battle and overwhelm the reformists but the gundam is separated from the ship it lands in the Atacama desert he is taken in by a local who turns out to be a former reformist pilot named kyoto until he found out about the real motives of their higher ups but barely escaped a "mop-up" operation on his crew.He seeks revenge on the reformists so he helps Imadori get back to the hawaii base but when they get there the base is demolished they find some survivors and they learn while they were gone the base was attacked by reformists and the forces had to retreat to space
ReplyDeletethey modify mobile suits (via the infinity's nanobot system) and head to space but Imadori is captured by the reformists he learns that the reformist leader is his brother sagara who was thought to have died in war(he takes on the form of char in order to make the people follow him) he tells him his to finish what char started and tells him that it is their heritage because they are the heirs to zeon and he wants to repay the federation for suppressing the colonies Imadori tells him hes doing the same thing but he says it's apart of his plan to restore zeon through the genesis project and force people to move to space he asks Imadori to join him but Imadori refuses he is put back in a cell meanwhile they take data from the infinity and reverse engineer it into two new units a mobile suit and mobile armour. Imadori is broken out of prison by kyoto and they head back to the moon where the rest of the Argama crew and their forces are rallying troops and freeing the colonies but this angers sagara he starts up the genesis project the space fortress genesis (the reformists main base) is launched and gets dangerously close to earth the argama V fleet heads on it's way to countter attack the fortress the fortress get's near low orbit around earth pointing it's mega particle cannon at the colonies while in position to launch at earth. they threaten to fire unless every one surrenders but Imadori doesn't give up he uses the infinity particles at a large scale and uses them to camouflage a few squadrons and they head for the fortress they are separated into two groups one to destroy the cannon and one to disable the thrusters on the main base meanwhile he heads to confront his brother and kyoto follows they encounter the mobile armour and kyoto tells imadori to go look for his brother and he leaves imadori confronts his brother and his brother uses his infinity system to advance his ms imadori does the same sagara sets off the thrusters early causing the base to fall at a fast pace and he and imadori continue to fight then suddenly the full potential of the infinity system is unleashed and it causes a message to be sent to all the monitoring systems world wide about why the infinity system was created and the wars of the past and why it wont help to fight most of the zeon forces turn on sagara and accuse him of lying and using chars name in vain they try to help push away the genesis but it's no use imadori defeats sagara and absorbs his infinity system he then tells the enemy forces to retreat and he uses the particles to help him push away the genesis he isn't sucssesful so he uses the particles as giant wings and tries to get extra thrust the particles let him hear everyone's thoughts he hears their thoughts and doesn't want to let them down so he puts more strain on the system causing the gundam to fall apart to the bare psyco frame and is able to push away the genesis he returns to the ship
Deleteepilogue:There is another treaty created this time to ban mobile weapons they create two gundams the turnX and turnA to represent humanity's turn to a new era of peace all the people of earth and the colonies are moved to the moon and become the moon race they use the gundams to destroy the remaining colonies and to destroy all modern technology on earth and send a few million volenteers to restart the human race starting with tech from the late 1800s. They hide one of the gundams on earth and the second on the moon so if it happens that earth is ever in need of protection the gundams will be there.
gundam infinity IP-01-1
Deletespecs:The base is a modified hi nu(without wings)
Armaments: infinity gundam unit-01 has a minovisky drive and nanobot system (the prototype system for the turn a/x)it is armed with two multi-purpose beam sabres,vulcans in the head and a gattling gun similar to the alex's on its left arm it has a beam rifle and solid rifle a beam shield(built in both arms),two solid bazookasa solid automatic rifle and a hyper particle mega launcher(but it can only fire three shots then it deteriorates)support mobile armour based off the dendrobium
Systems:the infinities nanobot system can give infinite clean energy to the unit and is like the age system in a way but the unit can change its armor in the middle of a battle without support from the ship.it can also take enemy weapons and use them e.g. funnels. the system also allows for it to be used like wings of light and can be fused with the minovisky particles to make after images the nanobots can create an advanced i-field and regenerate the gundam they can also make it appear invisible and it can teleport. the draw back to the system is the mental and physical strain it puts on the pilot so it has to be used moderately.
Less fanboys, more Gundam.
ReplyDeleteA light and fluffy gundam series set in pre school or kindergarten with a bunch of cute kids going on weekly adventures piloting Bearrguys.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant
DeleteI think something away from the normal would be much more interesting. Look at the past three series, not to say that any one of them were bad. BUT, they are rehashes of previous shows. SEED and SEED Destiny were remakes of UC (loosely), 00 was a re imagining of Wing and AGE, well AGE was a cluster of every Gundam ever. I really think that just because something is called something, doesn't mean it has to resort to the same formula. Like others have said I would like to see something post-apocalyptic. In my mind as I see it, start before the apocalypse, look at how the world and technology works, focus on what leads up to the end. Look at who is at fault, why it happened. Then follow the man or woman (woman would be cool for a change)who was ordered to begin or end the massive conflict. Explore the PTSD and survivor's guilt they deal with. I see the future being a couple different ways, look like Steel Battalion or something like Kamen Rider Kabuto. With a company that helped perpetuate the end running the world through monopoly of supplies. I would like to see something other than a military with suits, this would add a sense of urgency with supplies and a decision on whether to mobilize or not. Give it a deep personal conflict connect to a few people as opposed to many. Design wise, post apocalyptic mad max style Gundam would be really cool. This is all I can think of right now, but this is my personal idea of what I'd like to see
ReplyDeleteOutside a group of Gundams acting as aggressors, 00 was nothing like Wing. The story was completely original for season 1 and the movie. Also didn't Setsuna have PTSD and survivor's guilt for most of the series? But yeah, I would also like to see a return to the post-apocalyptic setting but it seems that fad kinda died out after the 80s.
DeleteMuch like SEED and Destiny were nothing like UC, but they were still rehashes of the same concept. I just want to see something different. I didn't see Setsuna as having PTSD or survivor's guilt, it was more of a drive to change the world due to his experiences. If he truly had PTSD, we would have seen him break down more than he did. He seemed kinda stable minus the whole I am Gundam thing. Yeah I keep coming back to the post-apocalyptic thing since it hasn't been done for a while in Gundam. Plus mad max Gundam would be awesome. I'm kinda getting tired of the overpowered god suits too, I want to see something a little more grounded in reality, as much as gigantic robotic combat suits are grounded in reality. Anyway, I'd really like to see something exploring the dichotomy between races, armies, people, etc. before and after the apocalypse; a look at how humanity survives and adapts. Any-ho, these are my dreams of a mecha series, so yeah.
DeleteI just want something that erases G-Savior.
ReplyDeletePilot:Female,16 or older. "Parents" were killed when she was 8 years old, "Uncle"(actual father) took her in. "Uncle" was a veteran MS Pilot of The Skybridge Fall-War. Towards the end of the War, "Uncle" found a blueprint of a Gundam and saw a 2nd Battle Ready Gundam in the hangar. "Uncle" sees an opportunity-even so stealing anything while at war is punishable by Death. "Uncle" had a baby coming into the World, just wanted a safe future, took the blueprint and the Gundam and was presumed KIA. 3 years had past and the World now is Leaderless, Aimless and Vulnerable. Bad people want to seize this opportunity. "Uncle" still hiding but kept a watchful eye towards his baby as she grew up. 2 years later World/Life is basically revolves around Corruption. Armies with MS's are under the control of people with MONEY & POWER. Rebels with MS's are not fighting to save the World but rather fighting to see tomorrow. The Government with MS's are sworn to protect the Rich & Powerful and giving political propaganda to the citizens of a "HOPE DRIVES US FORWARD".
ReplyDelete3 years later-Country/World War Torn,
"Uncle" taught her everything she needs to know, even how to pilot a MS. They grew fond of one another. One night "Uncle" was doing some late night reading of past archives, found out the 2 Gundams are 2 of 4 Gundams said to BRING FORTH LIGHT IN THE MOMENTS WHERE SHADOWS HAD TAKEN HOLD. "Uncle" found his own HOPE...
More to come if liked and sorry for the long post. I really hope the new series will be AWESOME.
I personally would like them to re-animate or animate old Gundam series... just like what they are doing with the original Gundam series.
ReplyDeleteChar's Counterattack should be the next one! Reanimate it in the same quality and "realism" as Gundam Unicorn. Additionally, expand that universe by showing the HWS, Hi Nu, and Nightingale in action as part of the storyline...
Since Sazabi and Nu are "prototypes"... they can have Amuro and Char pilot the Hi Nu and Nightingale sometime during the movie in which they both destroy each other's MS as one spectacular MS fighting scene. This forces them to retreat back the Nu and Sazabi... so the ending remains the same as the original.
Also somewhere in there... do a quick scene in which they have engineers making schematics of the Sinanju prototype - based on the idea of combining the best aspects of Sazabi, HWS and Hi Nu - so that it links directly to Gundam Unicorn. Make it some kind of anniversary thing and release it with MG Sazabi Kai or MG Hi Nu Kai or MG Nu Gundam HWS Kai!
Bandai should also finally animate Gundam Sentinel and Advance of Z!
They also need to reanimate Victory Gundam, ZZ Gundam and Gundam F91 in the same quality as Gundam Unicorn!
NO!
DeleteHi-Nu is the same NU. not an improved Nu. Is an alternate non-cannonical re-interpretation of the same RX-93. Same thing with the Nightingale.
And, seriously, why whe need another bunch of godlike overkill superrobots? Why? Just to satisfy a UCtard fanboy crazy dream??? Why you want a show with the same "realism" of a video game??
FANBOY!!!
lol... calm down.
DeleteYes, all you said is correct but what the guy wanted was just just wishful thinking. Smoke some ganja and chillax.
Like you said... Hi Nu and the Nightingale are noncannon... but it's the owners of the brand who can decide that. Plus if you read it properly... the guy clearly mentions that these super robots you hate so much gets destroyed. Can't be godlike if they get wiped our... right!?
Oh wait... you don't like overkill super robots? I thought Gundams were overkill super robots?
IDIOT!!!
You're the only idiot!!! DONT FEED THE TROLL!!!l
DeleteIm just trolling with that fanboy-made post... and you sopport me very well...
You said: "Oh wait... you don't like overkill super robots? I thought Gundams were overkill super robots?"
And I post previously this: "And, seriously, why whe need another bunch of godlike overkill superrobots?"
GOTCHA!!!
Plus: Hi Nu and the Nightingale are noncannon are noncannon, lke you said... FANBOYS EVERYWHERE!!!
"...but it's the owners of the brand who can decide that."
And BANDAI loves that!!! They love to milk the cow!!!
^Don't you want to get fed?
DeleteCombine lines 3 and 4 and you get "Why do we need more Gundam?"
It does not need to be canon to get animated. Besides, they can just animate Beltorchika's Children and fans will be happy.
Wow... anonymous 8:21PM and 4:13AM... are the same person? If not... two really dumb kids or the same person x2 in the dumb scale.
DeleteIt doesnt matter if it is noncannon... Most of the stories you watch and read about Gundam today were all non cannon until Bandai decides it is. Beltorchika's Children can become cannon if they decide.
You complain about Bandai milking? May it be new stories or old stories made new... its the same. Gundam fans will eat it up.... just like you have with whatever Gundam timeline you like.
Anyway... yes you both are trolls. But dont be so proud. It just shows how stupid trolls are. Lastly... you arguments are pathetic. But thats what trolls are.
Good luck reading them all, GG
ReplyDeleteThumbs up. It's really a heck of a lot to read till saturday and annouce winners the next day. really hoping the best and original wins.
DeleteSometimes I imagine myself as a staff at GG Infinite but if GG assigned me to read all this, I would quit the job. hehe
DeleteOk so here is my story:
ReplyDeleteGundam D
_________
-------------------
The year is 3044 AD(After Destiny)
War was fought between the Earth Federation and the spacenoids. Both sides escalated in the war path by unleashing destruction weapons. Nukes, mobile suits, and mobile armors. Lives were lost and there was a peace treaty established. The Earth Federation disbanded and there were 5 colonies established with leaders. These 5 leaders established the peace treaty. Those 5 colonies names were; Fier Colony, Bier Colony, Gier Colony, Yier Colony, Wier Colony. However peace never lasts too long and there was more to the story. The war had taken its toll on population and worlds. Yes worlds. The Earth was set into a nuclear winter and Mars was set into a nuclear summer.
There were heroes among the war. 5 to be exact. They were called; Fjhir, Ghjir, Bhjir, Yhjir, Whjir. They were all brothers and each had different views in the war. They piloted 5 legendary Gundams. Those Gundams would be unique to each brother and they had powers of the elements. Fjhir piloted the RED Gundam known as F201-Volcan Gundam. Ghjir piloted the GREEN Gundam known as F202-Golem Gundam. Bhjir piloted the BLACK Gundam known as F203-B.M Gundam (Black Mist). Yhjir piloted the YELLOW Gundam known as the F204-Mhjonlar Gundam. Whjir piloted the WHITE Gundam known as the F205-W.M Gundam (White Mist). Just as how the heroes were connected the Gundams were as well. They were as you could believe brothers. Each shared their powers and could combine into the ultimate weapon. The weapon that caused the destruction and the end of the war. For you see these were no mere Gundams. The war was before the AD years and the technology was at its pinnacle. Using historic blueprints and Gundanium alloy the Earth Federation created the 5 Gundams with god like powers. The colors stated the type of powers they withheld. RED had the power of the fire, GREEN had the power of nature, BLACK had the power of the seas and of unnatural abilities. These abilities were never controllable however so another Gundam had to be designed to tame or put the BLACK Gundams powers in sleep. That would be the WHITE Gundam. The WHITE Gundam was majestic and had the powers of the heavens. It is a mystery how these powers were obtained within the Gundams but rumor has it they were designed with mysterious shards. These shards had the powers of the elements and somehow they were combined into the designs.
Now the story begins in 3044 AD. The 5 legendary heroes are actually the ones to establish the 5 different colonies. The colonies were linked together to form a balanced natural life for their people. However nobody can live for centuries. The heroes had sons and daughters and they continued the line. Each had yet to realize they were about to embark on a journey to save the colonies from impending doom. The Gundams were destroyed before AD in the war however they are going to appear soon in their lives. The 5 heroes had great great grandsons. Each carried their names.
ReplyDeleteThe story of how the Gundams were destroyed has to do with BLACK and WHITE Gundams. You see the BLACK Gundam was never really meant to be made. When the engineers obtained these shards they had 6 shards. Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, White, Black. However when Black Mist was made instead of merging the BLUE shard into the core the BLACK was merged. They never truly anticipated the powers the Gundam would have. There was no data on the BLACK shard. However they did know the WHITE always negated the BLACK shards mysterious dark effects. Dark effects like bend the human's mind into darkness and to turn into a blank slate filled with the need to destroy. These were one of many abilities the BLACK shard had but were strained due to WHITE negating.
To cut through basically the BLACK Gundam pilot and WHITE Gundam pilot were different among the other brothers. They were always connected in a different way and these Gundams enhanced these differences. Long story short the BLACK Gundam eventually turned Bhjir into a blank slate craving destruction. In a long battle Whjir revealed the true form of W.M to remove and destroy the BLACK shard from B.M. In order to cure Bhjir, Whjir took the BLUE shard and merged it with B.M's core. As such it cured both B.M and Bhjir. B.M then changed into a new form with the abilities of the sea and weather. However it also had the abilities of darkness and stealth. It was actually believed to be the strongest Gundam within the 5 always. The brothers joined with the newly renewed B.M to form the ultimate weapon. F200-Caes Gundam. As the name sounds it had a majestic and deity like semblance. The heroes destoryed the Earth Federations colony laser and put an end to the Earth Federation. As such they formed the colonies and the peace treaty with the spacenoids.
Now going back to their great great grandsons. Little did they know they were going to be a part of a larger picture. For you see BLACK shard was never truly destroyed. It only shattered into smaller pieces and were scattered across the space. The BLACK Gundam would make a reappearance....
The Gundams were claimed destroyed after the war. However the heroes had hidden them only their families knowing their existence. Now in 3044 AD came an unknown attack. One day after school the heroes' sons were enjoying a day after school when a blast came from the sky. In came a black mist. Many saw it in shape of a "Gundam" but they weren't sure.
The sons had to join together to ressurrect the 5 elementals from the sleep. This is the story of
GUNDAM D

_____________________________________________________________________________________
I would write more but it gets long and complicated. XD
the year is after colony 3030. A organisation that goes by the name of GHOST has taken over earth forcing 50% of the planet's population to move in to space to get away from the cruel dictatorship.
ReplyDeletethe hope of the people will come from an anti-terrorist group called Camelot and their 13 powerful mobile suits called gundams to take back their home and their freedom.
Plot: It was the present year 2013 were mobile suits does not exist and only exist in our imaginations and on the tv screen or atleast that's what they want you to believe, in japan the japanese government was secrectly researching and developing mobile suit since the past decade and Oji (protagonist) the head of r&d in mobile suit, soon created a prototype mobile suit and named it Gundam, but the secrecy of this project did not last and soon leakage came out informing the other countries, considering this a huge threat to them they formed an alliance, they infiltrated the japan's base where the gundam was currently being developed and stole the blue prints of the prototype mobile suit, after a short period of time this super power countries were able to develop their own mobile suits and created their own prototype gundams, the alliance soon was broken between this super power countries and the war started (WW3) at the same time the japanese government realize that they have opened the gate for WW3, they tried to mend their mistakes by eliminating all data that links to mobile suit developing by using a newly developed prototype mobile suit called “anti-Gundam” this anti-gundam is not a gundam but different kind of mobile suit that is developed just for the sake of destroying gundams, which developed and piloted by our protagonist Oji, and soon the japanese government formed a team which it's only purpose is to erase secretly everything that is related to mobile suit, and return the world to what it used to be where gundams only exist in our imaginations and on the tv screens.
ReplyDeleteNote: This is the story where the protagonist never uses gundam.
Here's my 2 cents!
ReplyDeleteIn the year 30XX (I don’t know, somewhere in the future), the rich uses most of the earth’s resources. Basic items of need become too expensive to afford. Middle class families become low class families. People are evicted from homes. What used to be lively neighborhoods become emptied lots. Eventually only two class remains: the rich and the poor. The poor become labor workers for the rich. Oppression against the poor begins. The rich breaks out in war against other countries for resources. Poor people of the ages of 25+ are used as expendable soldiers. For the purpose of saving resources, all parties exiled the use of nuclear weaponry. Regular war machines are no longer practical. Japan creates humanoid mobile suits. Other countries follow up with their own variations.
The story of our character begins in the power hungry country of The United States. Engineers (the rich) provide resources and direct supervision against the poor to assemble the suits in guarded chambers. Among the assemblers is 22 year old Guy (let’s call him guy for our male protagonist) and his partner in crime, 20 year old (we’ll say Robin for our female protagonist sidekick?) Robin. Two thieves whose’ developed a hidden passage way to bypass security to steal suit parts to upgrade their out of shape mobile suit (which is named Gundam) in hopes of being able to flee from the oppression and live a life of freedom.
I could go on and on and make this into a 10+ page script. Heres an overview: They flee and become pirates (steals and loots from the rich), but not too soon they run into old enemies. Comes across the insurgence. Fights for the insurgence against the rich. Meets new enemies. Fights in the war against the countries to bring in peace. Meets old friends. Meets guy with mask. Some action here and there. Character development here and there. Blah blah blah~~~would like to write more but I could be writing my psychology paper.
i kinda have a idea thats ive been working on for a while
ReplyDeletekinda based off of SD Gundam G Generation, SRW, Gundam X and Turn A Gundam
long ago the earth sphere is ruined by a devastating war
centuries later after a very slow recovery the Federations and the Space Colonies discover data from the great war 600 years ago
they call LT (Lost Technology)
both side has data of mobile suits that are way advance then the current ones they have...
only the EF has data to create Mobile Dolls while Colonies has Newtype technology and Blueprints of a powerful mobile suit called "Gundam"
the EF later demands the Colonies to hand over the LT they possessed but they refuse
war soon broke out and it ended at a stalemate
decades later another war will soon rise and a young newtype will be drag into it
he will pilot a Gundam created by his grandfather and fight not only to end the war but to discover the truth the war 600 years ago, the LT, the Gundam, and himself.
LT is pretty much data from past Gundams gathered, by a group of people who traveled though parallel universes that gathered the data, that that got leaked by the main antagonist to the world where the story is set in 600 years ago
the Gundam will have the G-System installed along with some newtype tech like the Bio-sensor
it wont allow anyone use but the MC to pilot the Gundam. G-System is allow the Gundam to travel to parallel if the pilot isnt the type that will abuse it powers
its weapons is a beam rifle,beam cannon mounted on the backpack, and short heat blade that also emit a beam saber like the SUMOS Heat Fan
the upgraded form has thrusters on its legs and booster mounted on its shoulders
it also has a Full Armor configuration
has heavy armor with anti beam coating, missile pod on the leg and chest, and 2 double barrel beam machine guns mounted on both arms
it can purge it armor for a high speed and mobility mode
Gundam would be call EXMS-00 Proto-EX Gundam or the Mark EX
pretty much based the Gundam after the Mudrock Gundam, ZZ Gundam, AGE-1 Starks and the Wildwurger from SRW
kinda been thinking of add stuff from Layzner like the Knuckle Shot and V-MAX
the main character would be bit of a loner. he would be like 17 years old maybe a little older
he is both kind and calm but can get violent when angered
after receiving his Gundam and he joins the a Colonies to fight against corrupted Federation and a unknown enemy
he doesn't get along with his fellow pilots (except members from his unit that he belong) and get into a lot of fights
having a extremely hard time picking what his love interest should be...
either a fiery tomboyish tsundere, a kind older sister type who can be extremely scary when angry, or a stoic princess
kinda leaning toward the Older Sister
she would have a nice figure and big breasts lol
the main antagonist will be a amoral super computer, called Mother System by its underlings who were raise by it, who is responsible for the wars that happened in the centuries ago and again centuries later. it was created centuries ago and it purpose is to help humans to evolve and advance
it believes that humanity requires war to advance and evolve. that survival of the fittest is a essential for humanity.
its controls the EF, manipulating their actions with the help of her "Children".
still got alot of thing that still needs alot of tweaking
please forgive my poor writing skills
too lazy and tired to proofread
just one make Mecha Musume with all Series of Gundams
ReplyDeletethat's it :D
I would love to see another focus on the common grunt Gundam series like 08th MS team. I loved 'normal' characters that didn't have these super newtype powers and beam spamming machines. This series would highlight the normal joes fighting the big war and their common machines that could have a Gundam or two in the mix. Maybe an OVA series focusing on OZ soldiers or the Karaba Air Force and such? That would be cool. Gundam always has interesting side stories to tell, they need to start bringing some of the magic of the past back (08th MS Team, Stardust Memory 0083, War in the Pocket 0080, etc)
ReplyDeleteTaking a background story similar to Gundam Age, the Gundam is created as a means to end a brutal conflict that drags on for years and years. However, instead of resulting in a lasting peace, the Gundam and its pilot are used to subjugate the colonies and crush any potential resistance. The Gundam becomes a symbol of despair instead of hope, and it remains as such for years.
ReplyDeleteWhile this corrupt world remains unified for a long period of time, the government becomes lax and eventually fractures form within the leadership structure. Politicians and military leaders attempt to seize control for themselves, and a military power struggle ensues. The faction that possesses the Gundam, however, becomes dominant, completely sweeping aside the opposition, the same as how it did during the old wars. Several of the remaining factions, however, form an unsteady alliance and pool their resources in a desperate attempt at resistance. While it seems as though their cause is hopeless, one faction manages to steal the incomplete plans for an old Gundam prototype. while it is nowhere near as powerful as the actual Gundam, it leads to the development of a mobile suit that gives them a fighting chance against the Gundam.
The resisting alliance will be the protagonists, but the reality will be that neither side can really be considered the, 'good guys.' Both sides will be struggling for similar reasons-control of the Earth and its outlying colonies-but the protagonists will be joined by resistance groups and will therefore have better intentions than the Gundam-faction. If only marginally.
For alternate ideas, I think something that is yet to be done well is the idea that there is some non-human factor threatening humanity (innovades are human-based and the ELS just weren't a good opposing factor, so they don't count). So the most likely candidate for such an enemy would be quantum computer similar to Veda. The difference would be that it would have no human elements and have the overarching purpose of 'protecting' humanity. This AI would have a very vague definition of 'protect' and would attempt to fulfill this purpose through any means possible.
Picture this: Several Years into the future, Gaia, a previously unheard of organization, introduces a new form of energy called Gundarinium, with a means to perpetually generate it. Additionally, there is a means to convert that energy into certain types of matter. Put those two together, and you get pseudo-infinite matter, a virtually limitless supply of materials. This has a dramatic effect on the world, with an explosion of technological development. Without having to rely on what mother nature can provide as the basis for all of humanity's needs, Earth is quickly flooded with mankind's creations, cities expanding and slowly engulfing the surface of the Earth like creeping moss.
ReplyDeleteEventually, overpopulation and "over-creation" lead to humanity moving out to space, creating 12 colonies each named after a month of the Gregorian calendar. For a time, mankind's issues seem to be under control. Then without warning, Gaia, the organization which has the largest sphere of influence on mankind, the ignition and guiding force towards humanity's technological advancement, disappears, along with the secret towards the continued production of Gundarinium.
A decade passes, and being deprived of what was previously considered an endless resource dealt a massive blow to mankind. Tensions are high, and the reserves of Gundarinium are steadily depleting. Scientists scramble to either find a way to produce more, or find a suitable substitute.
Due to careless management of resources, the June colony Mounts an attack on the May colony in a desperate attempt to obtain their Gundarinium. They use modified space worker machines called mobile suits, and gradually proceed to take over the nearby July and August Colonies.
Earth and some of the other colonies attempt to retaliate by counter-developing their own mobile suits, and the war rages onward. In the midst of it all, Charlotte Tempest, an engineering student on Earth, receives a strange message about her inheritance from her father, a scientist who was murdered for unknown reasons. It gives the location of a certain warehouse, with the access code, where she will find more answers, and where the Gundam will be waiting.
"Gun....dam....?" she asks to no one in particular, reading the message on her computer, alone in her apartment. Suddenly, repeated explosions are heard are in the distance, steadily increasing in volume and proximity. In a spur of the moment decision, she decides it'd be a right then and there that it'd be an interesting idea to look into that letter.
Sounds epic, and it pulls people in. That's what an idea should be like
DeleteOh, in terms of mechanical design, I can't really explain full without having to scan and upload my sketches (which are generally messy), but the main thing that stands out is some areas of the mobile suits, especially the hands, are coated with a material that mimics muscle and skin, so they look somewhat biological, like giants with armor, although not on evangelion's level. Additionally, like in Muv Luv, instead of panoramic screens inside the cockpit, the camera and system feeds are projected directly into the retinas of the pilot, which just seems more practical to me. To make things more different, aside from being a female protagonist, she's also left handed, and equips her Gundam the same way (Hats off to Mr. Bushido). The antagonists are merely using the invasion of the Earth as an excuse to search for the Gundam, the black box of which contains the secret to the production of Gundarinium. In Reality, it's the Gundam's reactor which was the source of the Gundarinium, and Charlotte works with the remains of Gaia to find a way to extract the Gundam's reactor without triggering the reactor's self destruct sequence which would result in an explosion on par with a supernova, and seek a way to dispose of it, since she considered it's presence like a drug to humanity, thought to be needed, but in reality detrimental.
DeleteDoes it really matter if the next Gundam series is over-the-top super robot or gritty down-to-earth real robot? I could care less about these trivial, superficial things if the story and characters are good. I think fans should be worrying about story and characters first rather than appearance.
ReplyDeleteSomething I have always wanted to see is something of 08th MS Team for Zeta. We spend the vast majority of Zeta Gundam seeing Space Battles on the Argama, but at Kilimanjaro, we see that Karaba has been strengthening their forces and fighting a ground war with the Titans. I would love to see a team working with Nemos and Rick Dias suits fighting desperately against a Government they don't trust. (Maybe they could get a tricked out MK-II to round things out.)
ReplyDeleteThe team would be fighting ground and mid-air sled battles behind enemy lines trying to weaken the Titans hold, while the higher ups try to garner support from a few Federation politicians that aren't corrupt and even forming uneasy alliances with Zeon hold-overs who still maintain some footing on the planet.
Zeta is an epic, but there are so many parts of the Gryps War I'd love to see explored more thoroughly.
Once upon a time, planet earth is filled with animals. All animals lived happily. But everything changes when human nation came......
ReplyDeleteThey destroy everything and try to take rule the earth. That make animals strugled and run. But there's one human "Tio" that doesn't want planet earth get destroyed by evil human nation. So he join with the animals alliance. Then animals lead him to some place. There's ancient machine that build by animal ancestor that called GUNDAM ANIMAL. Then Tio gained trust by animal's king to be the Gundam Animal's Pilot. So with Gundam Animal, Tio try to kick some ass of evil human. And they're cry and run away. Then All creature in planet Earth lived happily ever after :D

Would be fascinating if Gundam made a story which focuses on an arms race
ReplyDeletePrelude: Humanity has advanced to the next stage. With the majority of disease and poverty eradicated, modern science has reached its peak and humanity has build utopias under a single governing body and enters a global age of peace. Only smaller terrorist groups in isolated parts of the world and criminal organisations remain. With this age of peace, humans have started to take peace for granted, and yearn for something more than this sterile utopia...
15 years later as the world looks to space for a recently discovered mineral Ellanium, old organizations like nations have come out and started talks for independence. Rallying for different causes like rights over resources, the public has sought conflict in the guise of friendly competition.
Eventually, the world's governing body is dissolved, unable to properly function with its own members backing their different organizations. The world is separated again and media is censored from opposing parties.
3 years pass with the 4 major factions focused on the advancement to space for Ellanium. Our story follows Koura Shin, a mobile suit designer working on developing prototype suits (GUNDAM) to fully realize the potential of Ellanium. Assigned to her team of engineers are 3 ace pilots competing against rival Gundams to eliminate the rebel terrorists.
------------
That's the starter plot, eventually war breaks out between the 4 factions but the battles are fought in secret. With much of the battles used to serve as propaganda or show the factions power and to win over citizens and more cities to join their cause.
Koura is recruited for the NU, aiming to advance technology and fully utilize technology to serve mankind. While another faction would be to evolve mankind similar to the Zeons.
The story very much revolves around Koura modifying suits and creating new weapons to use against the enemy while keeping the pilots safe. That said, the story is focused on the whole team and not just Koura. It's very much like Stardust Memory but in Nina's role.

ReplyDeleteLarge corp. have establish human manufacture and have enslaved these worker for there benefit, and a civil war started for the rights and protection of these enslaves. An ex-scientist who help started the human manufacture testing has fallen into guilt and with help of the rebel human right army they created a gundam to help fight for the freedom of the enslave.
ReplyDeleteA young boy, who has friended with a young enslave boy, accidentally got involve with the war and was given the power to use the new gundam the people and end the war.
history base gundam series =D...or like in a post apocalyptic earth where resources have almost been depleted...most of civilization went to space to colonize...and the ones that are left are enslaved by a corrupt gov't that conspires earth to the colonists that earth is no longer hospitable...but some have escaped this enslavement and lived on deserted locations and try to survive with what little resources earth provides....some fight against the gov't...along with colonists who learns the truth about the conspiracy...but then a young traveler finds a place that has a coded plan that was made hundreds of years before the depletion of resources...that can bring earth back to it's former glory....and with this he also finds a gundam that can decode this plan..........soon the gov't finds out about this and so...the battle begins......the gov't uses mobile suits to control the people on earth....btw...idk xD
ReplyDeleteHi.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see a 0083 history or a "MS 08th Team", same period (0079) but through a Zeon Team, in fact one of its cap, involving a fight with the MS 08th Team
Regards
Please only one thing!! don't drop the colony to the earth in the new gundam story!!
ReplyDeletedon't worry, in my story, it's the planet Earth that dropped into other colony!
Deletemwahhaha
1. Fill the blanks of Gundam anime in Universal Centuries first (between Crossbone Gundam series and V Gundam, Post V-gundam era).
ReplyDelete2. If the new series is a multi-generation one, make sure that the successor of each previous main character(s) are not directly related. Main characters should at least 15-17 years old and above. It's extremely annoying to see main character(s) which are too immature emotionally and physically.
3. There should be other space colonies within the Solar system near the orbit other planets such as Venus, Mars, Jupiter, etc.
Make as many factions as possible, each with their own distinct agenda.
4. Apply the advanced version of the available state-of-the art technology such as artificial intelligence, mind-uploading, etc. Many of the technology in the UC timeline are out of place and should have been obsolete decades or even centuries ago.
5. Make sure that there is no such thing as "pure" good guys and "pure" bad guys. Everyone have their own motives and ambitions.
There was once a country..a country that had the most systematic political status, stabilized economy and leading military assets. It could have been considered a perfect country that would lead the world today. However, the country later suffered an economical breakdown. Despite all efforts of bringing back the country back in its prime state, all seemed lost. That situation had led to major change in political affairs and all resort to the Phoenix Operation. The operation that involves turning a few other countries into enemies that will result in political and economical reset to the country. The present day..nine years have passed since the operation began, the war with several other countries have lead to the extreme of consequences. Scientists of that country have been experimenting weapons in the remotest place but was under attack by soldiers of other nation. There, a young man encountered a weapon.. an experimental weapon. A mobile suit.
ReplyDeleteI've got one that i've been thinking about for a while now. It's not totally original but ideas mixed and mashed from everything i've liked. (and someone had something kinda similar in the part 1 of this post)
ReplyDeleteYears in the future, you have colonies throughout our solar system(even on other planets e.g mars, jupiter etc) and just like the normal gundam story line - some/all the colonies eventually war it out for independence/resources. All these different fractions have specific types of mobile suits and specialised tech (how original!)
After years/decades of stalemates and mini wars, a large fleet of aliens attack both colonies and earth's alliances. Their tech is superior to everyone elses (abit like AGE at the start)and all sides are hit with major losses and confusion runs wild.
Meanwhile on a neutral colony (im thinking Mars or anywhere that you can have an untouched resource supply) that never got involved in the wars and remained politically neutral had only focused on quality of life (think post WW2 japan kinda culture or ORB in Seed) and harnessing the best of technologies (with new found minerals/resources on mars) lead them to having an army with tech that can repel(but not totally beat) the aliens (also because Mar's army isn't burnt out from all the wars, they have a large, fresh and battle ready fleet. IMO Mar's Mobile suits are the gundams.
Slowly Mars is pressured to help out Earth and the other space colonies, being the correct thing to do, Mars shares little by little of their tech with the other fractions and eventually everyone's army tech is 'decent' enough to battle these aliens.
The twist to the aliens (kinda like AGE LOL) is that they are humans which ventured beyond our solar system decades ago and are thought to be killed-forgotten. In their travels,low on supply, not able to turn back to earth, results in anger that they are forgotten by earth, they encounter other alien life - im thinking ELS-ish or Macross's Varja or even transformers decepticons-ish which leads to them being corrupted/allied with them and thus going back to our solar system for revenge/stop the war to rule over what they see us as inferior beings.
In my head they would now appear like the borg from Star trek (human, cyborg, alieny)except with unique alien mobile suits and earth's/our solar system struggles would be very much like how they portrayed it from the star trek movie(if im not mistaken, watched it so long ago) So from all the intense battles with the aliens, our mobile suits tech is significantly progressing through desperation but only to be countered by the fast evolving alien tech too. But our protagonist from Mars works to understand this alien tech and incorporate it into his gundam thus turning the tide - final arc time.
It eventually leads to something similar to 00 story where we all have to put our differences aside and work together to survive.
Of course there's alot of improvements to be made to the story but i think the concept is quite solid and exciting.
My synopsis of the ideas I posted in part 1.
ReplyDeleteTitle: Mobile Suit Crisis
A young student who just graduated from college and is now in search of a job. His father was a former project manager in a company specializes in military technologies. Upon his recommendation he finally able to secure a position at the company as technical engineer for a new project associated with the Allied Military. The project was to explore further advancement in robotics for military use. Within the project, he befriended an Allied Military officer who were commissioned to be the test pilot for a machine which will be the new form of armed infantry, conceptualized as mobile suits.
The effectiveness of these mobile suits were so great it begin to become a mainstream weapon as many military-based entities and countries began development of their own and so the war of mobile suits between nations and armies had escalated and bring greater damage to the world.
The young engineer, while continuing his effort to improve the mobile suit concept, sees this new outcome as bringing more tensions and conflict between countries and factions, he began to question his involvement in the concept. The Allied test pilot, through various combat trials and in real battle, begin to understand the value of human lives and began to show his respect and honour towards the enemies and tried to keep innocent people out of war.
Maybe something with more emotions and twist in it, like brotherhood and etc. Furthermore, it would be best if the mechanics used are more realistic.

ReplyDeleteAll is at peace between Earth & space residents.
ReplyDeleteOne day, a young ,MS mechinic named Val witnessed an assasination of one of the highest ranked officials at that time.Then when he was chased by the assasinators he was rescued by "Seres",a cew of former military agents, one one of them being a former Lieutenant ,Hansen.
The rescue was a success but Val soon realises that he is in BIG trouble when he found out that he is now also being targeted by the unknown assasins. Seres & Val then works hand in hand to intercept & prevent the assasinations & killings done by the unknown assasins.
Hansen entrusted Val his latest creation, the GUNDAM , the unit developed by the lieutenant himself after being relieved from his duty because of revealing corruption in ther agency.
Val was separated from his family at only 1 year old.His father is a soldier whom he never had a chance to meet & her mother already passed away when he was just 11 months young so he was adopted by a man who owns a junk & mechanic shop. His fate interwinding with the unknown assasins & Seres ,& becoming a GUNDAM pilot will change not only his destiny but for humanity as well.
The peace disrupted & now the Earth & Space residents are facing a big trouble not only caused by the unknown assasins but also from the small to large scale rebellions & coup d'etat that will happen which will cause another conflict between the two residents. Will Seres crew & Val will be able to handle them? They have the GUNDAM, all fate is with them.
Terraforming was supposed to solve everything.
ReplyDeleteAfter successful testing on Mars,turning the red planet into a magnificent blue and green jewel, everyone expected Earth to be next. At last, the slowly failing Space Colonies could be abandoned.
That was fifteen years ago. The year is Expansion Century 21, and the nearly-dead Earth and overcrowded, rapidly deteriorating colonies are desperate. They pool what technology and recourses they have left to create a ship, the battle cruiser Prometheus, it's compliment of all-purpose mobile suits, and it's three primary defenders, experimental new suits known as 'Gundams'.
It's a race against time as the Prometheus and her crew rush off to Mars. Their mission: to overwhelem the Olymp Usurpers, the top 100 richest families of Earth and their people who prevented the terraforming ship Torchlight from returning and made Mars their personal paradise.
Will the Gundam pilots make it to Mars and reclaim Torchlight before the colonies fail and humanity becomes an endangered species? Or will they be crushed by the weapons and people dedicated to keeping Mars clean and pure of 'Earth Filth'?
Find out on: Gundam Unit Omega!
My idea is having an alternate timeline:
ReplyDelete1970, mankind has just started colonizing space. Mobile workers are created to aid with satellite assembly and maintenance. 1979 saw the birth of Gundam anime and spawned interest in creating Mobile workers for national defense, Mobile suits as they are called in the series.
By 2010, a 2nd generation of mobile suits are created by the Mobile Creations Factory, a giant company with practical monopoly over the mobile industry. As every nation seeks to become independent from MCF's technology, MCF creates it's own secret army, attacking research facilities all over the globe.
A coalition between the US, Japan, and South-east Asian countries have successfully developed several prototype units in Myanmar, Cambodia, and Vietnam.
Hikaru Abe, the son of a military official visiting a factory in Myanmar gets caught in an attack and is forced to use Captain James Tien's custom Fenghuang unit with the injured soldier as a guide.
Despite losing the 2nd prototype unit, Hikaru survives the attack and boards the Zhuque aerial ship, receiving a customized Fenghuang unit for his use.
Hikaru and the crew of the Zhuque must survive and retrieve the remaining prototypes from Cambodia and Vietnam and silently travel to the newly fortified United Nations center in Geneva, with proof of MCF's atrocities as well as the technology to match MCF's advanced mobile technology.
...
There'd be some inconsistencies there but I like incorporating conspiracies about big businesses and monopolies taking over the world
Another note, the main character only gets a Gundam (Unit 00) as a mid-season upgrade. Unit 00 is based on F90/Silhouette/Strike/Impulse/etc, having extra equipment for certain situations; Flight and Artillery.
DeleteUnit 02 is also compatible with 00's packs but since it was stolen, it gets a high-speed heavy armor version as an upgrade.
I've imagined this initially as something like a game where the player can either get a unit that's capable of combining with other units (Gundam Unit 01) or get a custom mass production unit (Fenghuang)
today trend is on comedy. so why dont make a series where the funny scene takes place mostly at the "relaxed" part (where pilots simply relax after a fight) yet awesome fighting scene in the war.
ReplyDeleteWith 3 friends, a protagonist of a hot blooded idiot and easily gets angry (like Edward Elric or Momotaros),
a playboy fellow pilot (like Urataros), a wise (yet dumb) guy that always have the same face expressions ( like Agent K from men in black) with his cheerful childlike 18 year old girlfriend that is very attached to him and always mistaken as an 8 year old due to her ridiculously tiny size.
also with a tomboyish girl (for the protagonist), a hot lady (for the playboy) and strict but funny captain.
Just imagine a hot blooded Kira Yamato with a tomboyish Lacus Clyne, a playboy Athrun Zala with a hottie elegant Cagalli and a stupid wise man Shinn Asuka with a 8 year old sized Lunamaria Hawke.
And the best part where the three best friends watch HENTAI in their gundam cockpit.
almost forgot, the guy that never talks is the most brutal.
DeleteWhat I would like to see is a Christian End Times Thriller. In the vein of the Left Behind series but with Gundams. The Bible talks about a War in Revelation that will wipe out a large amount of people during the rise of the antichrist. So I think it would be awesome to animate that war with Mobile Suits. There is potential for sequels to be post or pre rapture too.
ReplyDeleteIt really would be great to have a live-action Gundam series or trilogy with realistic special effects like the modern sci-fi movies nowadays or at least a cool 3D movie. i hope Hollywood or the big movie companies adopts this idea and create a movie to raise awareness and hype up the Gundam industry just like the Transformers. everybody knows optimus prime and bumble bee but not gundams. some even call gundams as "tranformers-like robots". i really hope that this could happen in the future..
ReplyDeleteCountless Eons ago, a fleet of autonomous ships launched from a withering Earth, as the last of her inhabitants brought forth ruin. Those ships set out into space in search of habitable planets, carrying only the great and disastrous history and seed of mankind. One ship landed on a planet that would be known as Orbitras. The year is E.D. 0000 and the humans of Orbitras are following in the footsteps of their ancestors, seeking to expand into the cosmos.
ReplyDeleteAt the turn of a new age a new world government has been formed to oversee the displacement of humans into the newly built space colonies. The lower class masses are deported from Earth by force; whether by using military force to harass civilians, by destroying entire cities and towns, or by destroying the lives of individuals by wiping their history. But not everyone will go without a fight. As the first wave of ships leave for space, riots break out across the world leaving panic and destruction in their wake. A terrorist organization calling itself the AMO claims responsibility for inciting these riots. Armed with giant military machines known as MS, AMO launches a series of surprise attacks on space ports, military bases, and government centers. In a single fell swoop AMO captures countless space ports and military bases, and assassinate several high profile politicians and world leaders. The New World Government doesn’t hesitate to declare war, and in the ensuing battles a third of humanity is wiped out with much more left helpless as civilization breaks down across the globe.
Follow the story of Cecil, a young girl who joins AMO intent on preserving the world she was born into, and the story of Karres, a naïve young soldier who has been selected to pilot a revolutionary new MS known as Gundam. Watch as they clash on the battlefield, fighting to determine the future of humanity! Can the humans of Orbitras overcome the cursed legacy of humanity, or are they doomed to repeat the mistakes of their ancestors? Find out in Mobile Suit Gundam: Genesis!
I have a general idea of the plot and specific characters but I won't get into that unless people are interested
My idea of the next gundam series:
ReplyDeleteinstead taking place in the future, it will be set in alternate universe AD when space programs and technological progressions are much,MUCH faster than ours. There are five main factions, in which three of them are power blocks (Global Defense Coalition, Sovereign of Vepr Union, and Non-Block Federation) controlling the space colonies and parts of mars, a terrorist organization (Sombra del Fuego), and a military corporation that have its own PMC division (Archedyne Corp, Blackbull-Xn Defense Consulting). trapped in a very dangerous cold war that decided the fate of the world survival.
the conflict are revolved around territorial dominance, influence, technology and resources wars. and each factions have their own internal conflicts, betrayal, and taking advantages of each others.
the Gundams in this universe is a modular mobile suit platform used by GDC for testing experiemental equipments and cladenstine operation which would deemed dangerous and very secretive so it's existence in-universe is protected,questioned, investigated, and hunted by both allies and enemies alike.
The series begins with GDC and NBF diplomat who are tasked to negotiate truce with SVU suddenly attacked by SVU soldiers while on the way to the Iapetus Colony, leaving dozens of diplomats and soldiers guarding the officials killed and injured. both GDC and NBF accused SVU of violations of diplomatic protocols. But SVU denied the accusation , defending themselves with a proof that they didn't command the assault and accuse the terrorists instead for not wanting peace between power blocks and sabotaging the process. but this act was unquestionably sparked a new conflict between the three power blocks.
the main character is the a former gundam pilot POW who are thought to be dead with his team but suddenly found during a raid that goes awry in a space factory that turns out had a prison facility, revealed by a prison uprising. When he was found, he was joining the uprising and helps the team with a gundam that was actually used by one of his friends.
His survival became an investigation, and layers of conspirations starts to reveals.......

ReplyDeleteThis story I have made for my planned Gundam comic or novel.
ReplyDeleteThe story begins with a war between the Earth Federation Army allied with the Space Colonies against a coup d’état by a Space Colony, Eavy 5. Eavy 5 is rich in technology and resources to create a massive number of mobile suits for the war. A major shift in the war occurs when the Earth Federation Army launches its test mobile suit, the first Gundam. This 2nd generation machine needed a skilful pilot. This is where our protagonist comes in. He is known throughout the army as a badass selfish jerk with amazing skills. He topped in every exercise and test and made his name as “The White Fang”. With the Gundam, he ended the war and his name spread throughout the earth’s sphere and space. Fame and glory surrounded him and his Gundam and peace was achieved with the ruler, “The Governor.”
As peace prevails, warriors like the White Fang was no longer needed so he was given a forced retirement by the Governor. As time passes White Fang’s fame and glory vanished and made him insignificant and a drunkard. Stoned, his anger got the best of him and he decided to break into a military base to steal his Gundam. With his Gundam, he destroys the base with superior skills and in the end, with blood in his hands, he took on a mask and swore vengeance to the Governor that used him.
So that is the prelude of my story. I find this storyline interesting and new as a Gundam series since the leading character isn’t the good guy or some accidental hero but about the bad guy and how it happened. Deception, power, emotions,betrayal, and uncovered truths will be the twists of this story. You will love and hate it at the same time. :)
I have no title yet for the story. I notice that the common trend of Gundam titles comes from the name of the lead Gundam suit. The first Gundam isn’t the main suit of the story but a new one. The Space Colonies have developed 3rd generation mobile suits and was used against the White Fang. Getting over his head, White Fang gets defeated but manages to escape. His anger grows but fate manages to get him a sponsor and builds him a new mobile suit, “Gundam ______!”
I’d like to see a Gundam series which, like AGE (Arc 1) covers the development of mobile suits, not unlike MS IGLOO. However, instead of a keys-in-the-ignition scenario which turns a reluctant hero into the war’s savior, the protagonist will a) be female and b) already be a pilot.
ReplyDeleteIn the greater theatre of war, I’d like to expand beyond the Earth Sphere to include the Asteroid Belt, Mars, and perhaps the Jovian system. The idea is that each area has been successful in their own independent economies, but the Belt and its rag-tag collection of settlers and spacers is tired of getting raked over the coals by corporate middle-men and declare independence. The Martians, who are now the center of frontier commerce while the Earth Sphere is bogged down in corporate tradition, send hundreds of thousands of troops to occupy the Belt. They are successful in this endeavor and set their sights on the Jovian system.
Our protagonist is a young materials engineer who uses mobile suits to gather resources in the atmosphere of Jupiter and the depths of Europa. Much like the Zaku, mobile suits are used as pressure armor to harvest the very necessary Helium-3 and deuterium around the system. A Martian attack takes out the space station she works out of, and most of her friends, except the few who are out harvesting with her, are killed.
Her team limps their way to Callisto, where their mass-produced construction suits are outfitted with basic weapons and armor to attack the Martian capital ships and avenge their friends’ deaths. Their sortie is highly successful, during the course of which they capture a cargo transport which is carrying experimental ship weapons and armor plating. Their suits are re-fit with these experimental armors, and the captured cargo ship is converted into a moveable weapons plant. They recruit a small team of pilots from the other Jovian moons and start making their way to the Belt to drive the Martian threat out and join the Belters in their desire for independence.
Earth and Mars realize that this means no more precious Helium-3/Deuterium from Jupiter and a full scale war inevitably breaks out.
The gimmick with the suits will be similar to AGE/SEED, where, adapting the different weapons tech which was captured allows for differences in the models. For example, one suit will have a rail gun. Another will be heavily armored. Another will use plasma cutters for asteroids as weapons, etc. The idea, however, is that all suits will fundamentally be the same chassis. However, using found parts and later upgrades, the armor kits will change in one way or another (and so will the GunPla. Let’s be realistic, here).
Like older shows, the rebellion on the part of the Jovians and the Belt will be for independence from corporate ownership and control of resources, pushing for autonomy over serfdom. The themes will rely heavily on the desire to be free and part of the human race version a cog in the machine. The Gundam team will also encounter political strife within its own ranks, as some are challenged by loyalties to their homeland/family/etc.
The masked character (because there must be one) will be Darth Vader-esque in appearance – a former Jovian miner on the protagonist’s team who, after a terrible accident in the first episode, is shipped back to Earth for rehabilitation and medical care. After the war breaks out, this person campaigns heavily for the use of mobile suits in combat versus capital ships, and is a junior officer in the first Mobile Suit battalion the Earth/Martian alliance deploys. This person’s costume will be a stylized normal suit which never allows them to reveal themselves. In fact, it isn’t until they cross paths with the protagonist in combat where it is finally revealed who is underneath the mask.
A potential success for the Gundam franchise lies in creating a modern successor to G Gundam. I do not mean to say that Bandai needs to adapt the tentative 14th Gundam Fight into the canon, nor do I want something as experimental as G Gundam was. The genres have been blended enough over the course of the last decade and Gundam doesn't need to contribute to that pool right now after the failure of Gundam AGE. Instead, the use of mobile weapons in sporting competition should be revisited to tell a new story about the nature of human conflicts.
ReplyDeleteImagine that, in this new universe, mobile suits pilots compete against one another in one-on-one and team-based duels to earn fame, fortune and glory. Corporate sponsors handle the bills for successful teams, and the best pilots can afford to have the best tools at their disposal. Rather than revolve around mobile suits performing martial arts techniques, the pilots of this universe use traditional armaments (energy and solid munitions, etc.) in the vein of Mechwarrior and Armored Core (the latter will probably influence the style of the show more).
There will be no special systems or gimmicks beyond the normal array of technology found in the late Universal Century. Human beings with seemingly preternatural abilities (a la Newtypes, Coordinators and Innovators) and remote weapons are acceptable, but in moderation. The action should focus less on these sorts of plot conceits. The mobile suits should be treated less like walking plot devices and more like proper machines that must be operated with a high degree of skill. Gundams should generally perform higher than most other mobile suits, but they should not be battlefield-shattering war gods. This way, Gundams could duel other Gundams later on in the series and we could still enjoy watching cleverly-written fights where the better pilot emerges the victor. If a Gundam overpowers another Gundam explicitly, it should be used as a growth point for the protagonist so that he or she can grow more formidable as a pilot.
The story must inevitably involve a global conflict, as all Gundam stories are apt to move towards. A war breaks out between the earth and space, and both sides begin to recruit these mobile suit 'athletes' to come and fight for their cause. Many will join up with a cause for the benefits it confers as well as the chance to taste the thrill of a real war zone. As the spirit of competition becomes distorted, the protagonist and his team are forced to make a choice: will they embrace the Gundam as a weapon of mass destruction or defend it as a symbol of honorable battle and sportsmanship? The idea of what it means to be strong and what strength should be used for is discussed at great length, as well as consequences of unchecked ambition.
Bandai loves to market the hell out of its properties, and this new series will be no different. Advancing the concepts pioneered in Gundam AGE's part-swapping Gundams and the GAGEing Builder toys, the Gundams of this new series would be designed around easy customization. Bandai could sell weapon and accessory packs much as they are now but with the same wide variety that Kotobukiya offers with their Modeling Support Goods and AC Variable Infinity lines. All mobile suits would be able to share a wide variety of parts and weapons with one another (with some exceptions, because having the entire Gunpla catalog being super-similar is a great way to alienate discriminating customers), basically allowing Bandai to bring kitbashing into the mainstream in a way that only Koto was able to prior.
I hope this idea sounds appealing. I'm not sure if I really care about winning the prize, but I do want something like this to happen. I remember the original five-minute IGPX shorts on Toonami and the concept of teams of mechs competing felt like it belonged in the Gundam universe at some point or another.
Throughout the various Gundam series, conflicts have always revolved around corruption, deceit, and misunderstandings - where humans in their universal dream to secure their own livelihood and happiness squander the efforts of others. Struggles of power bring life to war and raging emotions further fan the flames, inevitably consuming the innocent that had the misfortune to be caught in its path. Many of the Gundam series come to the point that peace will only come when humans transcend their personal borders and reach out to understand one another, but how this can come about is also a conflict when one debates the nature of man as an individual; Are men inherently selfish to the point that understanding is not possible, or can men reason and learn to love one another?
ReplyDeleteThis is the classic Locke and Hobbes debate we see as the core plot in Gundam through all the iterations of Char and Amuro: humans are evil, or humans are good. Everyone wishes for peace if peace is defined as a time when the wishes of each individual are in harmony and attainable without conflict – and though we may have a universal understanding of peace, the conflict most definitely lies on how we attain it, but we must first understand ourselves. If humans are inherently evil, then we need to strive to evolve and become something better – the “Newtype” with superior cognition and emotional understanding. But a paradox is reached; if humans are evil and selfish, we cannot be a “Newtype” . Char likes to think that we have to kill off the humans to further our evolution. However, if humans are good, we will eventually become the Newtype we look to be and there will be no paradox because nature will sort itself to be this way. Amuro likes to believe this.
Then at the end of most Gundam iterations they always come to the conclusion that humans have the key to their own prosperity and hint at some way that as we progress into space, we will become a Newtype that will understand each other and there will be little wars.
But is this really true?
What if we move beyond that question of how to become a Newtype. So far we have only seen plots based on ‘becoming’ a Newtype, with all the other political drama sprinkled around here and there about how humans are stupid and what not. What if we set a world in Gundam where humans have already attained understanding and enhanced cognition - how will this roughly translate to a better world? The question will then be, “Is peace really attain by only compassion and understanding?”. Obviously, this cannot be the case, as everyone has different needs and wants and there are only so many ways and resources to go about satisfying people, so I’d like to modify that question.
“To what extend does compassion and understanding bring peace?” and “How much of selfishness is entitled to you.”
For my Gundam story idea, we can set a world to reflect that difference as part of the backdrop for the plot to rely on. As mankind reached for deep space, they developed into beings that have all the traits of the general Newtypes of other shows: understanding and enhanced cognition and motor skills. The setting will be, naturally, in deep space, on a large ship/colony of some sort with an Alcubierre engine to allow distant travel and the story will follow a young protagonist living in a nice utopian Newtype scientific society.
DeleteBut before you scream it’s starting to sound like Toward the Terra, being a Newtype does not entail loss of individuality, which is a main base for Toward the Terra or other utopian stories. Since Newtypes understand, there are no conflicts from misunderstanding, diversity, or culture, unless that culture or diversity has a negative impact on the wellbeing of others.
So how would a conflict begin? Conflicts will be based on resources. A ship/colony in drifting in space will run into problems here and there with self sustainability that will cause a drop in resources.
Yes, this is very original.
Being a Newtype, however, does not mean loss of selfishness. Corruption can still occur even if everyone understand each other. In fact, this will be especially true considering it will be easy to tell the state of mind your opponent is in. It will all boil down to “I understand, but I want to live and I want my family to live.” We can’t possibly love everyone equally even as Newtypes. Everyone has a role they play.
So going back to the more immediate story, we will follow a protagonist living in a Newtype ship/colony drifting in space for the sake of science!(exploration and research based on real world concepts) Lets make the protagonist a girl for the sake of diversity; a daughter of a scientist on the ship. On top of that she will be in her late teens as much as some of you despise teenagers. Her default name will be Cecile, sounding like ‘ciel’ of the sky, but actually based on latin word meaning ‘blind’. I just pulled this name out of my butt. Some others have this name in their stories aswell. It can change. It is irrelevant.
DeleteBut for plot sake, we will make her NOT a Newtype!
As one can imagine, in a society full of Newtypes, being born telepathically blind is more than hairpullingly frustrating, especially for teenager whos just dabbled in the affairs of becoming an adult. I think this would be quite interesting to evaluate; how her personality develops as she’s missing something fundamental. Will she be strong headedly stubborn like an Asuka? Or depressingly emo like a Shinji? Will this story be like Evangelion? Or……Ideon?
Wait a minute, where the hell is Gundam in this ‘Gundam’ Story?!
A Gundam can be used for symbolism in so many different ways. I’m more interested in making it look more realistic and limited, rather than Messiah powerful. Plus, in this story, what need is there for a military war machine on a ship of science? But anyhow, Gundam and MSs will be there, but in limited numbers for the large ship colony. Their main purposes will be more for exploration – exploring things like meteors, comets, asteroids. The will also serve as construction hands/space walk missions outside the colony.
So how will they be fighting with explosions and pew pew laser beams?
Well, for one, once the colony could encounter problems in engine shut downs due to the nature of their Alcubierre engines, consequentially doing harm to life support of sustainable systems like farm and water. People will eventually become uneasy after weeks pass of no progress. Most of the story Id imagine would be psychological, but there will be points or a point where MSs will be stolen to gain the upper card. Opposing forces can be split by family and friends, or departments of the research team fighting other people with family and friends for the sake of surviving on the ship.
Our protagonist Cecile, may have been training to be a pilot for exploration (Since she prefers being alone due to her deficiency) and somehow gets dragged into putting out some unrest. Along the way she has to make tough decisions with balancing the good of a group over another. Majority vs minority etc.
Perhaps even an encounter with Aliens (In the Buff Clan/Human style) in the middle might spice up some things (They may help the colony or destroy it), but if I go on any longer I fear I may be writing the whole story.
Anywho, that about sums up the story idea thus far. The length of the story will be rather short; I would think it would be a 14 episode short series or something of the like. It will concentrate on how being a Newtype grants or does not grant peace, and what necessary conflict means. If written, I would like to focus on human interactions and conflicts amidst a common goal of science and progression. The Gundam will be more of a devil, than a savior in this story, wielding needless power.
Because, how selfish do you need to be?
My series idea (developed over a few years) concerns themes of the concept of nationality, with perhaps remembrance at its side. Basically, the story takes place during an invasion of one state's land by another, something that has come as a surprised to the one since relations between the two have always been friendly. Since I live in Canada, it began as a question of what would happen to Canada if someone in the U.S. revived the concept of manifest destiny, with the States attempting to seize control over all the American continent, and there were giant robots. However, the only thing keeping the enemy at bay however are the Gundams, first implemented during previous wars, a weapon only developed by the victim state.
ReplyDeleteThe primary protagonist is a young soldier (ie. not a teenager, someone in adulthood) who finds themself now having to pilot that first, somewhat-antiquated Gundam, requiring two pilots to effectively control due to older tech (this would perhaps change later on, but I think the idea of double pilots needs to be explored more) against modern suits. The protagonist's mentor would be one of that Gundam’s original pilots, who should be a very old female veteran, (who perhaps has PTSD, I not sure at this point). They fight alongside 3 or 4 others, at least one of which should be a woman, who pilot modern Gundams, all of whom are slowly defending their shrinking boarder at separate points, allowing introduction of them as individuals before coming together to work as a team, helping to evacuate areas that have become battlefields. They ultimately meet up at a ship that will take some evacuees and important persons to space (you really can’t make a Gundam series without space travel), the launching of which would signal the climax of that first act, ending with the total takeover of the victim state.
With the series, I would hope to tackle questions of what it means to be a state or a nation, so it would examine how whether they lose that if they are taken over, or challenging the notion of nationalism, or fighting for your country, which I would hope I would tackle with an enemy soldier who ends up interacting with one of the other Gundam pilots after becoming a prisoner, and has to see what his own country is doing. However, it would also take a look at how the civilians from both sides feel about the conflict, something that I would like to eventually lead to a civil war within the enemy state, which would be the entrance for the Gundams to reenter the conflict in space, since the state would control colonies in space (can’t forgo those either), ultimately entering the third act as they return to Earth for the final parts of the conflict, wherein perhaps one or both states end up abolished (haven’t ironed that out yet). The Gundams also should not be the sole reason anything changes, ie. The war doesn’t end because of some speech from the pilot, as ultimately, war is not won by a person, but by people.
I was also hoping then to tie-in themes of remembrance into nationality, especially how nations remember and pay respect to their shared past, and see how memories or experiences shape a character and guide their actions. Mech design wouldn’t have to be terribly complex, but it has to be tamer than usual for the franchise; no part swaps, or remote funnels, and no satellite cannons. Their should definitely be no newtypes or coordinators or x-rounders as I believe that would take focus away from the conflict between peoples and shift it to how individuals and skill affect the tide of war. I know having Gundams kind of takes away from that, but I would hope to prevent that by showing how there is a whole support structure of people around each Gundam and not just its pilot that allows them to be so effective (mechanics, scouts, supply runners etc.).
The idea still needs work, but I feel that the concepts I presented here could make a good base at least. Maybe not very crazy but I feel it might take it in a slightly different direction than other series.
I've actually been planning a Gundam RPG with this story in mind.
ReplyDeleteFar into the future Mankind has colonized dozens of other worlds outside of the solar system through the use of near faster than light colony ships and jump gates. The Terran Republic sends Near-FTL ships carry millions of lower class laborers who work on terraforming potential planets for colonization and to build the 2-way jump gates that are true methods of beating the speed of light; allowing for 2-way travel between solar systems and ease of travel for the richer elite of Terran Republic to move to their new worlds.
Located 50 light years from Primoris the hub world of the TR; in the orbit of the star 3777 Cerberi is the world Londinium one of the most recent worlds for the TR to colonize. Even after terraforming Londinium much of was still a harsh desert world.
After almost two and a half centuries of colonization the Terran Republic was facing wide spread corruption with in the government and abuses by the "Managers" of the colonization efforts lead to the inevitable on Londinium, rebellion. Fed up with the militaristic abuses by the Mangers and their security forces Londinium's colonists decided that they'd had enough and were going to take this planet for them selves. Using their incredibly durable giant humanoid construction mecha know as mobile suits to counter the TF's military forces.
Eventually the rebellion reached it's climax when the TR Managers decided to abandon the planet and in their hast left several million loyalists on the planet who were forced to flee to the harsh southern continent. Many of the managers fled through the hastily finished jump gate and the gate eventually collapsed cutting of the system from the rest of the TR.
After finally gaining their freedom the citizens who were rallied by the quest to free their world now found themselves fighting each other for control based on racial, religious, ideological differences splitting the larger northern continent into many nation states.
Almost 100 years later is when the story starts; following a band of Junkers who go into destroyed cities and bases that litter the central wasteland and search for lost of hard to recreate technology from before the war. The heroes find themselves facing the vanguard of an invasion from the southern continent by the remnants of the Terran Republic Managers who have broken their 100 years of isolation with advanced Mobile Suits of their own and are attacking the broken nations of Londinium.
It's up to the heroes to rally the divided nations and counter the TR invasion under the banner of the advanced TR era mobile suit Gundam.
I was watching Vividred while writing this so now I'm thinking of power-ranger themed units (5 of them) each only slightly stronger than your average grunt and they can combine 2 at a time for better results.
ReplyDeleteAnd all of them should look like Nobel Gundams with different colors and weapons
What I really like to see is LOGH with Gundams, that is a heavy political plot (not just background) and high level military tactics, instead of just random skirmishes with a large epic battle in the final episodes.
ReplyDeleteIn the future, every sport is performed with gigantic mobile suits, except dancing, that is until an evil syndicate was able to make their highly advanced mobile suits enough mobility to dance.
ReplyDeletePatrick Castle, a young man with no experience in piloting for dance falls into a cockpit of the newest military weapon, Gun-totting-sword-slashing-awesome-dancing-super-mobile-mecha.
He moves into the middle of a dancefight shouting "It's arrived Gun...damn that's a long name!"
*In every appearance, whenever he attempts to say the name, someone cuts him of with "damn!"
Ahem…
ReplyDeleteGalaxy Gundam – a 400 year time skip after 00 Gundam.
One of the first independent colonies established 140 years ago on a planet 61 light years away, in collaboration with the ELS and a new species discovered along the way, the Valdori, hasn’t given signs of life in 3 weeks. With travel between the stars now nearly instantaneous because of the quantization capabilities of crafts and mobile suits (now radically different, smaller and usually unarmed), the lack of communication and transit back and forth is rather suspicious. Innovators, now 94% of the human population, report none of their usual feelings of dread whenever something bad happens, even across the stars. ELS units and Mimics, Innovade/ELS hybrids, volunteer to look it up and do not come back. The fairly small amount of Valdori visitors to the Earth System also claim to ignore what is going on.
A note on the Valdori: roughly humanoid, slightly shorter, orange skin, elvish but with a more streamline face. Big black eyes. No special powers, tech not using GN particles, but using unstable mini singularities. High power, short duration, described as a reverse solar furnace, that consumes more power when kept inactive. No MS tech. focused on crafts alone. Innovators touching them can “meld” with them, syncing their feelings. This is only felt by the innovators.
A colony class military ship exploring beyond that colony is called back to the colony to investigate. The ship carries 20 Zeniths units (Grunt MS) and the ace Pilot, a woman called Skyline Ducati, of italian descent, pilots a Gundam unit, a unique model called Corona Gundam, a gundam designed for interstellar use, with radiation shielding adequate enough to survive a limited amount of time in the corona of a yellow dwarf star and immune to most energy attacks. All use true GN drives, now easily mass produced.
They are greeted by a single enemy (?!?) unit in orbit: A unit calling itself Eclipse Gundam with Yellow GN Particles, piloted by Harvey Davidson.
Twist and turns abound: Both units fight, eventually need to team up and later breakup the alliance when secrets are discovered, allies betray everyone and a mobile armor from the far future gets discovered and yields technologies that will pave the way for the creation of Maelstrom Gundam, a destroyer of Worlds using Darklight GN particles and Galaxy Gundam, a savior for this Galaxy, sporting the Infinity Drive… But, are the Valdori really what they seem, and have Celestial Being really gone into the sunset ?
Features: NO KIDS, an unpredictable alien third party, realistically aged military staff, finally a central female ace pilot as the main protagonist. Character names inspired by cars or motorcycles…
For the rest, let your mind wander…
Its the year 2560, humanity has gone far beyond the natural resources of earth and has escaped to space in the search of new worlds to exploit, which has been far easier since the discover of hyperspace travel.
ReplyDeleteEven with the risks of the unstable technology and the massive amounts of energy hyperspace traveling consumes, humanity finally came across a possible habitable world, wich was named New Haven, for what it represented to humanity and because the huge an almost endless sky it possessed. But this small beam of hope has been shadowed by the same evil that corrupted earth: Human ambition.
Controlling the space sectors and colonies around New Heaven, tree large companies come to war to claim the planet and its resources, unleashing destruction with giant robots resembling death angels: The Future Emporium (FE) with dark blue banners and symbols, Overstar Space Technologies (OSST) bearing golden stars and and black lines, and the Fireblaze Corporation (FC) waving blood red flags. As the tree companies rage in a 10 year war , the planet became surrounded by death and destruction, even reaching the planet itself staining it in the blood of the innocents.
In the anniversary of the start of the war, a young boy wakes up in the middle of a battlefield in the old Earth, without any memories of who he is, what is he doning in such a place, only with a name on the space suit he is wearing "Michale R". Suddenly he has to run for his life as robots from te tree companies try to capture him. When death is almost over him, a strange gray robot, which appears to be greatly old, saves him from his chasers. Looking at his saviour he es stunned as a young girl with long withe hair emerges from its cockpit.
-"come with me if you want to remember who you are"
Intrigued by the mystery his past might hold, and knowing he might have no more choice, he agrees to go with her and enters the mysterious robot. They take off and start flying trough the scarred and dead landscape of the planet. during the flight he asks her:
-"who are you? why did u saved me?"
and se only answers him
-"because u are the only one capable of piloting it"
-"piloting what"
-"u will see when we get there"
Eventually they enter a mountain trough gaps in its side and venture even deeper in it. Finally a clear appears and it seems they are now on a military base, an old one with some robots similar to the one that they are. They get off and she starts guiding him trough several damaged and empty chambers until they reach a final and undamaged one. In the middle stood a an almost entirely white and silver robot with angelic wings, bearing a golden fin on its forehead and given the impression it has never been used.
As he stares into the robot's eyes the young boy asked her
-"what is it?"
-"its the last achievement of the Seraphim Organization, capable of things no one could dream of, its the key to save New heaven and the last hope for a peaceful future for humanity. Its the Icarus Gundam"
Still perplexed he looked towards the young girl and asked her
-"and why did you brought me here? What does this thing has too do with me"
She looked into his eyes and answered him:
-"I brought you here because you are the only one who can pilot it, and if you want to remember your past you will have to do it"
The story will then follow Michale and the mysterious girl as they use the gundam to fight the tree corporations in an effort to stop the war and to try to solve michale's past and why the companies are so desperate to get their hands on him and the gundam.
