^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.

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?

^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.

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.

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.

^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":

    • Apple is expanding Private Cloud Compute beyond its own data centers

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Apple is expanding Private Cloud Compute beyond its own data centers by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, as part of the improved Apple Intelligence capabilities, Apple today announced that it is expanding Private Cloud Compute (PCC), its privacy-focused cloud infrastructure for Apple Intelligence, beyond its own data centers for the first time. Private Cloud Compute was designed to handle Apple Intelligence requests that are too complex to run fully on-device. The PCC system does not store user data and does not allow Apple or anyone else to access user requests. Last year, Apple also expanded its Security Bounty program with rewards of up to $1 million for researchers who could find serious vulnerabilities in PCC. Until now, Apple's PCC data centers were using Apple's own silicon. As part of the expansion, Apple is working with Google and NVIDIA to run new Apple Intelligence workloads on Google Cloud systems powered by NVIDIA GPUs. Apple will be using this new infrastructure to execute more demanding AI tasks while maintaining the same privacy and security guarantees of PCC. The new implementation uses NVIDIA Confidential Computing with NVIDIA GPUs, Intel CPUs with TDX, and Google’s Titan chip. Apple says it has worked with Google to build additional protections beyond a traditional confidential computing deployment. Despite the expansion to third-party data centers, Apple claims that its core PCC requirements remain unchanged, including stateless computation, no privileged runtime access, non-targetability, and verifiable transparency. The company highlighted that it will continue to control the PCC software stack, and Apple devices will only trust PCC software that has been cryptographically approved by Apple. To take security to the next level, Apple mentioned that it is maintaining an append-only ledger of Google Cloud hardware that is part of the PCC fleet. The company claims this will help reduce the risk of supply chain attacks. In addition to AI infrastructure, Apple also worked with Google to use technologies behind the Gemini family of models to build the next generation of Apple Foundation Models to power Apple Intelligence features across on-device and cloud workloads. As expected, for more demanding AI tasks like agentic tool use and complex reasoning, Apple will rely on the expanded PCC infrastructure running on Google Cloud. The expansion of PCC on Google Cloud will gradually ramp toward the full set of protections during the summer preview period. As before, Apple will also publish binaries for public inspection, provide research tooling, and give researchers access to live PCC nodes in research mode through the Apple Security Bounty Program.
    • Classic Outlook vs New Outlook — Which one do you prefer and why?

      By Bdpy · Posted

      my problem with outlook (new) is that it connects only to outlook.com. all connections to external providers goes through there. Got your mail server and want to use imap directly? no way... it adds a connector on outlook.com. last bug; if your email on an external provider if the same as principal email of your microsoft account, it doesn't work...
    • Apple finally brings the slider for Liquid Glass and many other changes

      It's the only reason I finally have an iPhone (for work) and enjoy using it so much that I'm tempted to move from android next time I need to replace my own device
    • WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      So is Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, just to mention a few. What's your point? Everyone is a threat from their enemies' perspective. I'd say that Israel is only a threat to their immediate enemies like Hamas, Hezbollah and the Iranian regime, not to anyone else.
