^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.

^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

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.

    • Apple's AI smart glasses and Vision headset plans reportedly delayed, again

      By AnalystDan · Posted

      Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By grunger106 · Posted

      So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
    • I Can't Wrap My Head Around This Number - Google to buy computing from SpaceX at $920 million per month

      By Nick H. · Posted

      What I can't seem to understand is that Google are paying SpaceX? Surely it would be the other way round, with SpaceX needing Google's datacenters etc.? Oh well, this level of money and power is way outside of my comprehension at the best of times.
