^The UC timeline is the one that I find the most interesting as well. If they make new stories set in UC than I hope they're not going to follow Gundam Thunderbolt's bloated weapons. They should also have the same character style and whatnot as the ones before Victory Gundam. Victory Gundam almost looks as if it's said in a different timeline unfortunately.

Though Tomino new project "G-Reko" is said to be set 1000 years in the future of UC Timeline.

I just hope they don't move on to a new Gundam where it'll be of 3 segments like Double Zeta. I prefer a little more Delta Gundam and 00. But that's just me, I prefer exotics mobile suits with futuristic features that have something to do with Quantum. But that's obviously 1/3 or 1/4 of Gundam's tradition.

Delta Gundam hasn't been in any of the UC series though, only Delta Plus and Zeta Gundam, which is based off of the Delta Gundam. I rather have them making a series set after Gundam Unicorn because the mobile suits from that UC year are awesome. Though if they'd do that, then they might as well make an adoption of Crossbone Gundam which could actually be pretty awesome.

Also, don't even put Gundam 00 and anything from UC in the same sentence, haha :p Gundam 00's story was great until they added aliens. I mean, it worked great for the movie and I still like the movie a lot. But looking back at what Gundam really is, they never should've added aliens to the Gundam 00 story IMO.

I mean the Hyaku Shiki. :p

Oh come on, you know how gorgeous the 00 is. :D But yea, I do have to respect the way UC is, from the very first season, there's nothing that can really compare to that legacy. :)

Crossbone, Crossbone, I don't know why, but Gundam X pops up in my head when I have a feel of similar looks. The mass produced I mean. I know it's an alternate universe, but something hit me. :/

It looked nice, but not as nice as the UC mobile suit. Also Gundam 00 QAN[T] looks loads better than the 00 Gundam. 00 Gundam looks good on it's own until it's Gundam 00 Raiser, which is too bulky for my liking.

Crossbone does share similarities with Gundam X but I like Crossbone Gundam better. Also, Crossbone Gundam is a well established story in UC much like the Unicorn manga, so it might get a anime adaptation of some sort in the future. Plus, Seabook Arno is in it under the alias Kincaido Nau so that could be interesting. It's still a shame that they had budget issues when they where working on Gundam F91.

And this is why this thread is reduntant: Only reposting stuff from the Gundam Guy blog and not actually discussing things.

Reposting for others to see. It's still news. Anyway, I really hope The AGE-2 DB will be addressed as an MG. Hope they don't skip over it and then wait 10 years for the re-release / anniversary to come out. *cough cough Seed/Seed Destiny*

I made that post because countless times it's just something that's been posted on Gundam Guy's blog without anyone getting a chance to discuss it.

Well, it would be 00 Gundam all over again if they'd start making MG versions of such marginal differences. They're better off just releasing the DB parts as a separate expansion.

well they did it for The AGE-1 (Normal, Titus and Spallow)

^Proves how much I keep an eye on AGE Gunpla :p Though Titus and Spallow are bigger changes to AGE-1 than AGE-2 Double Barrel is to the original AGE-2.

I sure hope they're not going to milk AGE like they did with Gundam Exia and 00 Gundam. We'll have to see though, they've already announced plenty of MG Gunpla and other levels of Gunpla. Personally, I don't really

^The last episode was a solid episode though.

^doesn't work for me. lol. Says an error has occurred.

Odd, just checked it and both the embedded and the Youtube page work fine for me.

Is this like a Japanese cartoon? Heard people say it before but no clue what it was. Thought i'd check it out

Yes, Japanese Cartoon is known as Anime.

Gundam is one of the most creative anime's on the planet.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By zikalify · Posted

      Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      I'm still on Windows 10 22H2 because I didn't want to deal with all the issues in Windows 11, so I waited almost a week before installing the latest Patch Tuesday update (KB5094127), I went ahead and did it, and it was a huge mistake—ever since then, my File Explorer has seen a performance drop of about 30% when transferring large files... Once again, Microsoft has outdone itself! This update cannot be uninstalled, either through the Control Panel (via Settings) or by accessing Advanced Startup Options. The only possible alternative would be to use system restore points, but I’d have to reinstall all app and driver updates (and there’s no guarantee it would work). Or there’s the “nuclear option” of a in-place repair without losing files or apps, but even then, all my customizations would be lost! Microsoft just can’t help but mess everything up! Way to go, Microsoft! But I still don’t want your c****y Windows 11!
    • Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs

      Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs by Sayan Sen While Microsoft has been trying to improve it, Windows 11 is definitely not flawless, as even today some issues are taking a year to publicly acknowledge. However, one area of trouble that may finally see much better results soon is graphics driver crashes. Work on graphics driver timeouts, also called Timeout and Detection Recovery (TDR), is not new as the latest WDDM 3.2 also has specific improvements regarding it. Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) version 3.2 is supported on Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2. However, with the upcoming version 26H2, TDR crash diagnosis could go to the next level as Microsoft is introducing a new DirectX 12 API feature called "DirectX Dump Files". Similar to how system memory dump files work when a system crashes or freezes or encounters any such major issue, DirectX Dump Files (DDF) will essentially record a snapshot of the GPU execution right at the moment a graphics-related crash or hang or freeze occurs, so that developers can better understand and diagnoze these TDR and timeout detection errors. The dump will be available as a .dxdmp file for analysis and it will be a comprehensive dump file generated with detailed insights about the hardware, drivers, Windows, as well as the affected application. This should be another welcome change in this department. Earlier at GDC 2026, when the technology was first debuted, Microsoft had shared more details regarding it. The company had explained how DDF is designed to gather data from every layer of the graphics stack into a single file, eliminating the need for developers to manually correlate logs from multiple tools. As mentioned above, the dump can contain a lot of useful details like GPU hardware state information such as register values, shader program counters, page fault virtual addresses, shader memory data, and command buffers. Alongside that, it also captures DirectX runtime and kernel information, including D3D objects, pipeline state objects, device error data, adapter details, and CPU call stacks. Microsoft says the feature has been built around two primary use cases: retail device removals and local device removals. The former allows developers to collect crash information from end users' systems in the field, while the latter helps QA teams and developers investigate issues on test machines. Developers will also be able to include up to 2 MB of custom application data through new D3D12 APIs, providing additional context for troubleshooting. In addition, Microsoft is introducing three dump collection modes ranging from zero-overhead capture, which has no runtime performance impact on supported hardware, to higher-detail modes that collect more vendor-specific debugging data. On compatible Tier 2 hardware, zero-overhead dumps will be enabled by default, meaning developers may begin receiving useful crash diagnostics without making any code changes. The table below explains the three tiers: Tier Description NO_OVERHEAD Enables crash capture with no runtime cost and is suitable for broad deployment MEDIUM_OVERHEAD Provides a balance, capturing additional diagnostic data with moderate impact HIGH_OVERHEAD Collects the most detailed GPU and driver state available, enabling deeper investigation at the cost of higher runtime overhead In terms of availability, the company expects broader release to be around the fall of 2026, which should be right around the time when Windows 11 version 26H2 lands. Right now, DirectX Dump Files are available as a preview and currently, only AMD has the compatible AgilitySDK Developer Preview driver version 26.10.07.02. You can find the official announcement post here on Microsoft's website.
