^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.

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":

    • WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users

      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.
    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance

      By astropheed · Posted

      The government is not the good guy either. You propose 99% of people require that the government overreach and govern their freedom of information and privacy, while ignoring the government is made up 100% of people, of which 99% are (as you described) brain dead. You can't have both. The reality is Signal is absolutely right and the government is doing what it has always done. Ignoring that we are their boss and grabbing all the power they possibly can to make sure we aren't. Your (societies) ###### parenting is not reason enough as to why I can't have a safe platform for my data/information. Thinking the government is helping is precisely what they are targeting psychologically to take suckers like you for a ride. "Think of the children" was, has, is, and will always be a mechanism of control. In the rare occasion it's actually essential the mass consensus has always been there and it doesn't become a debate.

    • Apple would rather delay Siri AI than open iOS to rival assistants in the EU

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Apple would rather delay Siri AI than open iOS to rival assistants in the EU by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, Apple today announced a revamped Siri AI experience for iOS and iPadOS users. However, this new Siri AI experience will not be available on iPhones and iPads in the European Union when iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 launch later this year. In a detailed press release, Apple blamed the Siri delay on the EU’s Digital Markets Act, highlighting that EU regulators did not accept its proposed solutions for bringing Siri AI to the region. Consequently, there is currently no timeline for Siri AI’s availability on iOS and iPadOS in the EU. Here is what EU users will be missing due to this delay: Siri AI, Apple’s next-generation assistant powered by Apple Intelligence A new dedicated Siri app for revisiting conversations Expanded Visual Intelligence features Integrated AI-assisted writing tools Siri mode in Camera on iOS Other system-level AI features Since the new Siri experience on watchOS 27 is dependent on an iOS 27 device, EU users will also miss out on Siri AI on watchOS 27. The most frustrating part is that even developers based in the EU will not be able to test or use the new Siri AI features for their apps on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and watchOS 27. In its press release, Apple mentioned that making Siri AI available in the EU would require the company to give other AI assistants (like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini) broad access to private user data and the ability to control installed apps. Essentially, the EU wants competing AI systems to be able to read and send messages, make purchases, access files, and perform actions across apps. To address these concerns, Apple proposed an intermediary system called Trusted System Agent. This system would have allowed other virtual assistants to access the same features as Siri AI in a safer way. However, the European Commission rejected Apple's proposals, and it is currently unclear why. The good news is that Apple stated it will continue working with EU regulators to bring Siri AI to the region. For now, however, iPhone and iPad users in the EU will have to wait. If platform gatekeepers such as Apple and Google reserve deep operating system capabilities only for their own AI assistants, rival services such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and others will be at a major disadvantage. Modern AI assistants are no longer simple chatbots. They require access to core OS-level capabilities such as reading on-screen context, interacting with installed apps, sending messages, creating calendar events, managing files, and completing user-approved actions across the device. If only Siri on iOS or Gemini on Android can access these capabilities, competing AI services will struggle to offer the same level of convenience, even if their underlying models are better. This is exactly what the European Union's DMA is trying to address. Apple and Google should be allowed to protect user privacy and security, but they should not be permitted to use those concerns as a blanket excuse to block rival AI assistants from getting fair access to core platform features. A secure permission-based framework could allow users to choose their preferred AI assistant without giving any company unrestricted access to personal data.
