Well I don't think they will do that, sure it can be included in the anime, but I can't see them basing a whole story on building prototype mobile suits. Formula for Gundam anime series : War-> Needs Soldiers->Soldiers-> Advanced Tech-> Mobile Suits->Gundam.

It can't be included in the anime since it's not part of the actual story, it's only part of the game. The anime follows the manga.

Well, if you know "Advance of Zeta" you should know that it's not only about building mobile suits but also about fighting with them. And no need to tell me about the formula for a Gundam series :p

I'm not saying that I'd like to see a full fledged anime series with such a story, but more like a side story. Perhaps like what they've done in Zeta Gundam. They where building and testing the Hiaku Shiki, Methuss and Zeta Gundam in the first half of the series. They could make a new series in which they're in a war and are in the process of building new successors to their current Gundam and show parts of that process.

Also, that "Destiny Impulse Gundam - Custom Build" looks pretty awesome.

Just watched the latest AGE episode. I really think

Asemu is a undercover pirate. Like I really think the Federation has the EXA-DB under wraps, and Asemu as a undercover secret agent is wanting to find out and destroy it/capture it for the Federation before the Vagans find it. You know, Flit says Asemu is dead, his reports say KIA. There's only one reason to disappear like that. Secret operations.

Well, he already explained why he became a pirate in the previous episode. It could indeed be the case since I found it rather odd how Flit instantly said all those things. Then again, he knows about pirate encounters from the past with the Federation and he has had them himself as well. So it could also be hate towards pirates. Though what you speculate might as well have some thruth in it. It's something tricky just fits really.

Though I do dislike the fact that it looks a lot like Gunam Unicorn's Laplace's Box. And item that could overthrow the Federation and could work in favour of Neo Zeon. Though Laplace's Box's is still a mystery.

One thing that bothers me in Advance of Zeta is how all the mobile suits look way more advanced than the ones in Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam and just way to different than any other mobile suit in the Universal Century. It's written by Satoshi Konno and Junichi Kamino who both have nothing to do with the Universal Century series so I'm kinda seeing it as non-canon for those reasons.

I finished watching the released Unicorns, it's more than amazing. :D

I'm on AGE and I definitely like it too! :)

Although, about the AGE timeline, does it seem that the Gundam legacy they mention, could this timeline be a parallel to the UC. Just because they mentioned the Federation, but I don't believe they mean the Federation of the UC. I think I'm way over my head. :p

Nope, they basically just copied a whole lot of things from the Universal Century. They made Gundam AGE to lure in a new and different audience.

@MrXXIV: Awesome stuff!

@Razorwing: That's a good looking RG version of Freedom Gundam right there!

Strangely that Gundam shop on the back had only Gundam cookies, chocolates etc :D. I actually do my Gundam shopping from Yodabashi, a very very big shopping center in Akihabara. They have a huge selection of Gundams plus other toys and you can get them tax free if you have your passport with you.

Pretty much any store in Tokyo sells Gundam btw :)

Good tip there man. Will keep that in mind the next time I go (which is never again). lol. Good luck with the PG Strike Freedom, it's gonna be a hand full. Just becareful of the wings, it tends to be heavy. I've heard some breakage although nothing's happened to mine.. so far.

Thanks Razorwing, I'll be careful, I already broke the wing of the booster of SkyGrasper, not very happy :/.

I actually literally run out of space to put my gundams. I already have 5 PG's, 2 Macross fighters, and 2 big MGs and I already run out of shelf space. Need to figure out a place to put on a new shelf.

That's the main reason why I haven't been able to buy new ones. I have no space whatsoever. I could put my Final Fantasy: Advent Children figures back into their boxes and the figurines from Spawn that I have, but then I bought all of those for nothing, haha :p

First 2 look pretty cool but a bit too bulky/crowded/much.

Those legs aren't like the ones of F91. Though the chest is a whole different story. I'm wondering why the hell they're copying previous Gundam in such a blatant and obvious way :/

And yeah, AGE-FX looks good though I don't care much for the Gunpla. They're not worth my money IMO.

Is that scale even right? No Way that thing is bigger than the Unicorn.

Well it's kinda like... ish. Obviously they won't out right just take it off the F91. I'm liking the design of the FX. Hope we get more clear pics soon.

I've looked at both a bit better and the legs do look similar. Just like the flaps in the shoulder parts. Lame tbh :/ Though I'm guessing it'll be the Gundam from Vagan.

About the scale; I think it's an illusion. The Unicorn 2 'Banshee' next to it look to be the same size as the Type C [Defenser b-Unit]. I'd LOVE to have that one in MG 1/100 form. The mobile suit looks really great.

Also, those Ver. Ed are pretty radical. Not something that I'd buy but I do have respect for his talents. He's really good at making custom Gunpla.

That RG Infinite Justice has way too many panel lines if you ask me :/ Not liking that version that much.

Can't wait for double bullet version. I"d be all over that.

It probably is, maybe it has something to do with the one in the background. Same colours make it look bigger.

Gundam AGE-2 is probably the best looking Gundam of all the AGE types. Specially the default one. It's head is also really nice. Too bar his flyer mode has the head sticking out in a weird way, lol. No idea what they where thinking with that :p

I think has more to do with the angle and the focus really.

    • You get the latest James Bond game free with this Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti deal all for $330

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      You get the latest James Bond game free with this Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti deal all for $330 by Sayan Sen Last week released its Radeon RX 9070 GRE 1440p gaming GPU for $549 (check our review here). If you can find it for that price, it's a decent deal. However in case you want to do 1080p gaming and don't want to spend much more than $300, then the MSI Ventus 3X GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB is a great option as it's currently on sale for just $330 thanks to a coupon (purchase link under the specs table down below). With this you will get close to around 80% of the GRE's performance at a much lower price. The Ventus 3X line is known for its straightforward design. Here, MSI uses three of its TORX 5.0 axial fan systems, where linked fan blades are intended to stabilise airflow and maintain consistent cooling. A metal backplate with cutouts should help with heat dissipation while also reinforcing the card’s structure. The card’s shroud design is kept neutral in appearance, so it can blend into a wide range of builds without drawing attention. The technical specifications of the MSI Ventus 3X OC RTX 5060 Ti 8GB are given in the table below: Specification Value Model Name G506T-8V3C Interface PCI Express® Gen 5 x16 (uses x8) Core Clock (Extreme Performance) 2617 MHz (via MSI Center) Core Clock (Boost) 2602 MHz CUDA Cores 4608 Memory Speed 28 Gbps Memory Capacity 8GB GDDR7 Memory Bus 128-bit Display Outputs 3 × DisplayPort 2.1b 1 × HDMI 2.1b (up to 4K 480Hz or 8K 120Hz with DSC, Gaming VRR, HDR) HDCP Support Yes Power Consumption 180 W Power Connector 1 × 8-pin Recommended PSU 600 W Card Dimensions 304 × 121 × 44 mm Maximum Displays 4 Maximum Digital Resolution 7680 × 4320 Get it at the link below: MSI Ventus 3X OC GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB GDDR7 (G506T-8V3C) + free 007 First Light (our review) bundle: $329.99 (with $50 promo code) (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) This Newegg deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified. This is a first-party seller link (at the time of article publishing); ensure that you also purchase from a first-party seller link only.
