You're asking what now? :p The whole series is set in Universal Century. Why ask yourself which characters are from that timeline when they actually live in it.

lol no! What I mean is how many characters from the movie are actually from the shows, MSG, Zeta, and ZZ! And I hear that there was a clone easter egg of Angelo Sauper. :p

Lol, alright. Well there's several from the series. Full Frontal is (sort of) a clone of Char though even. Odd that Angelo Sauper has one though because there's no info about it. I guess we'll see :p

Plot twist: The Quattro comes to defeat Frontal. :p

Apparently the rumor of the easter egg was in ZZ! :D

When you watch Episode 6, we might have to re-discuss the whole clone issue about Char. Something bugs me. But hey, I suppose Cyber Newtypes do gain memories of the original. :p

^Which song? :p

They changed stuff in the anime adaption so it's bound to be different. Though he's still some sort of clone because Char Aznable died in Char's Counterattack. That also means Quattro is not able to appear as a plot twist because Char is Quattro.

And I'm sure that's just a coincidence. The only similarity is his hear. It would be odd of Angelo had a clone because Full Frontal found him in the city of Globe in Side 3. There's not really any reason for there to be a clone of Angelo because he's not that significant only that he's Frontal's right hand. So I'm sure it's just some rumor though up by some fans :p

The latest episode of Gundam Unicorn was, in one word, AMAZING! That's all I'm going to say without giving away any spoiler.

Man, that ending...What a tease. I wanted more. Really not enough Unicorn battles in the episode though. Love how the design of the 'main boosters' of Gundams represents 'Wings of Light' now.

Speaking of Wings of Light, have you guys seen the Real Grade Destiny? It looks pretty nice actually. I already have the Extreme Blast mode.. so I might not really want to get it.

Well, that's because they needed a lot of story in this one and they needed a setup for the next episode. We've been through this before though, you want more fights and then I reply with that Gundam is as much about the fights as it is about the stories. There was no real reason for a fight with the Unicorn Gundam in this episode though.

And what do you mean with those boosters? The boosters are only there on the Unicorn Gundam and Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee to be able to travel through space much faster. Sinanju has them as well. It's something completely else than what you see on the Destiny Gundam. On the Destiny Gundam the boosters are on the wing to make it look like an angel or something like that. It's on the wings for aesthetic reasons. The boosters on the Unicorn Gundam etc aren't there for aesthetic reasons, they're just there for it's function.

And yeah, that one does look pretty nice :)

I guess you could compare the light from the psycho frame, like what happened with the "Axis Shock" in "Char's Counterattack" could be compared with "Wings of Light" from Destiny Gundam. The boosters really are just boosters and all Mobile Suits used them in UC if they needed to travel through space really fast. The "Axis Shock" on the other hand, happens when the souls of passed away souls gather via the psycho-frame and converts into kinetic energy (as said by Full Frontal). It happened with the RX-93 Nu Gundam and will happen again with Unicorn Gundam in episode 7.

Razorwing, didn't you want the MG 1/100 version of the Gundam AGE-2 Double Bullet? It's going to be released soon apparently: GG INFINITE: MARCH SALE ITEMS! [updated 3/21/2013]. They're taking pre-orders right now. I bet they decided to make it because of the new anime that's going to be released.

The Hyaku Shiki doesn't transform though. I bet you're talking about Delta Gundam which actually does transform. The story goes that the Delta Gundam's transformation was too taxing it it's frame, so they developed it into Hyaku Shiki. I love Zeta Gundam's transformed mode the best.

@Razorwing: Well, they the made the Armed Armor DE (that new shield both Banshee and Unicorn have) only for the anime so they might've thought about "Wings of Light" while designing it. The Armed Armor DE wasn't in the manga so originally there's nothing like "Wings of Light" in UC. It's a nice touch for sure though. Imagine Unicorn Gundam's Psycho frame radiating with the Armed Armor DE the way it did in episode 5, or perhaps more like how Amuro's RX-93 Nu Gundam's Psycho frame radiated light at the end of Episode 7. Could be pretty awesome and I bet that will actually happen :p

Yes, that's the name! :p Of course, I'm looking toward the Delta destroyed by the Banshee, and then there's the mass production models as seen at the ship of the General Revil's.

It wasn't Delta Gundam that was being destroyed by Banshee, that was Delta Plus which isn't a Gundam. Delta Gundam never made it into the series and only existed in Gundam Zeta for the story. It has never seen action besides being in a game.

My God, but it sexually looks like a Gundam. :/ Although the model number bumped to A1, I've been looking for structural differences in what causes the ability/inability to transform in these delta experiments.

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

      By grunger106 · Posted

      Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri

      By excalpius · Posted

      Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.

    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri by David Uzondu Image via Apple Today, at the opening keynote of Apple's annual World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC), the company announced Siri AI, a "reimagined version" of its voice assistant that runs on Apple Intelligence. Siri AI helps you do things like draft messages, edit photos, and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations. You can access Siri AI through several methods, depending on the device. While "Hey Siri" remains active, iPhone users can also press the side button, swipe down from the Dynamic Island, or use a system-wide context menu on Mac to analyze on-screen text. Image via Apple If you ever need to go back and check previous interactions, you can open the dedicated Siri app to view your entire conversation history. This application privately syncs your data using iCloud, leveraging local Foundational Models alongside Apple's secure Private Cloud Compute servers to keep user data inaccessible to outsiders. On the iPhone, Apple built the assistant into the Camera app, bringing Visual Intelligence to help you split bills or count calories. This feature also expands to the iPad and Mac, letting users use screenshots or shortcuts to analyze images, while Apple Vision Pro users can ask questions about objects in their physical room. Other things to know about Siri AI include systemwide dictation that automatically handles punctuation and formatting, customizable voice speeds, and a spatial 3D interface built for Apple Vision Pro. Apple also added Smart Stack suggestions on the Apple Watch to help you continue recent conversations directly from your wrist. The road to Siri AI was quite bumpy for Apple, which initially promised these capabilities at WWDC 2024 when the Cupertino tech giant debuted Apple Intelligence. Apple later turned to Google, signing a $1 billion annual deal to use Gemini models instead of relying solely on its own in-house systems. However, this deal came only after consumers sued Apple because features Apple promised "did not exist at the time, do not exist now, and will not exist for two or more years." Siri AI is available for developer testing on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, and visionOS 27.
