^It's a bigger gun. You can also see it on the right side when it's on an action base. I don't like it that much to be honest. The green flaps look weird to me. Sinanju's head sure looks great though seeing that Sinanju was first meant to be a Gundam is interesting. It means that Sinanju is kind of a Gundam in disguise, haha. Proto Sinanju looks like an awesome Gundam though. I wish there was more to it thought instead of just being a prototype.

This looks very interesting. Not liking the first one to be honest but the 2nd one looks cool.

^That looks way better than the original!

Also, some better images of the Gundam Wing goodness:

Would be interesting if this would become a new anime series.

[Razorwing]

^your other two links are dead.

IF that is what Herro is using... That's like stealing from Trowa.

[Jamushroom Veteran]

That's not what Heero is using. Heero is going to use a Gundam called 'Snow White'. Also, Heero is the only original pilot from Gundam Wing who still pilots mobile suits. He was kept in a cold sleep. Duo has become a priest who does undercover work. Trowa and Quatre Raberba Winner both are the 'doctors' (they're called 'doctors' much like the minds behind the Gundam in the original story) who made the new Gundam which are being used in "New Mobile Report Gundam Wing: Frozen Teardrop".

Also, that Gundam is called Scheherazade Gundam and in the other post you'll see him with the cross and one where he's still covering up the whole Gundam with the cloth. It's pilot is Trowa Phobos. He looks like Trowa and whatnot but as far as the story goes, they're not related. The names the previous Gundam pilots had where codenames anyways. So there's no link in that either.

Also, what other 2 links?

[Razorwing]

The other two pics didn't show up for me. lol. They do now though. I see why the Cross on the Scheherazade. lol. What a name.

[Jamushroom Veteran]

^Fair enough :p

Btw, did you know that the 6th episode of Gundam Unicorn is slated for next year instead of Fall this year? I already knew this though there hasn't been much talk about this here. I hope that his means that the episode will be longer then the usual 50 minutes. It's highly possible seeing since they're almost at the end of the series and I'm sure they don't want to rush things now that they've added a 7th episode to the list.

Also, you might want to read the prequel "Mobile Suit Gundam UC The Postwar: The War After the War". I am currently searching for the novel, haha.

Fukui also wrote a prequel novel, which was bundled with the PS3 adaptation's Special Edition released on March 8, 2012. Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn: The Postwar War contains an all-new story set two years before the events of the first episode. It deals with Full Frontal's origins and how the Neo Zeon stole the Sinanju.

[Razorwing]

I don't think that means it will be longer than 50mins. I think the 'quality' will be better.. OR. they are already finished it and sitting on their lazy asses. lol.

[Jamushroom Veteran]

It would be cool if they'd be longer. The quality of the currently released episodes is already pretty high IMO. But we'll see. Perhaps it's just because they need to rewrite the script a bit.

[Jamushroom Veteran]

Wow, that's one awesome custom build of the Mk-II! (Y)

[Razorwing]

hmmmm.... Looks exactly like the RG...not sure what's the difference. Maybe that stand?

also looks like The RG Justice will be getting a Phase shift armor off version.

Seen that Phase Shift-Off version of Justice Gundam last week. I still find it stupid that they're making such Gunpla, but oh well. Loving both Death Scythe Gundam. Though I'd rather have the EW version without the wings, haha. Though it's a pretty sweet mod.

The difference of the RX-78-2 RG 1/144 might be just the stand yeah.

^Nice one!

Oh man, if only they launched "Mobile Suit Gundam: Battle Operation" for PC :dontgetit:

[Ebi]

what game is that ?

[Razorwing]

^Mobile Suit Gundam Battle Operation. ?

The Liberal Democratic Party, a center-right faction in Japanese politics, will hold a live, 12-hour marathon stream on the niconico service on Thursday, and one of the marathon's panels will discuss "the Gundam Development Project, as seriously considered by the Liberal Democratic Party."

Masaaki Taira and Hideki Niwa, two members of Japan's House of Representatives, will speak during the 8:00 p.m. panel with their guest, novelist Harutoshi Fukui. Fukui happens to be the writer of the Mobile Suit Gundam UC novels (pictured below right).

Taira reported last year that his party would consider adding the efforts to realize "piloted, two-legged walking humanoid robots" into the party's platform manifesto. Taira also posted an extended discussion about the feasibility of piloted walking robots on Twitter, using the anime and manga titles Gundam, Appleseed, and Patlabor (pictured left) as examples. Taira broached the topic after meeting with Katsuya Kanaoka, a professor of robotics from Kyoto University.

In 2008, SciencePortal.jp, a website run by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), released a report estimating how much it would cost to build a 18-meter-tall (59-feet-tall), functioning "Morph-X" combat robot similar to those used in Gundam. The Japanese government funds about 90% of JST's budget, with the remaining coming from the agency's own operational income.

Quatro and GP02?! Very interesting. Seems like they're going to tell more off what else happened to Char between "Mobile Suit Gundam" and "Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam". Really looking forward to that manga. It's name is "Mobile Suit Gundam Z Define - MS Rick Dias". Honestly can't wait for that manga to come out.

Also looking forward to "Gundam UC Legend":
