Well for sure those lights couldn't be more shaped after the Wings of Light lol. They did it on purpose I'd say, as a nod to either the V2 or the Destiny. I'm not annoyed or anything, I"m just saying it's a pretty cool nod. Thinking about it all the Gundams after Wing had the nods .. I think. Surely, 00 had it, even AGE had it.

Wings of Light in 00? I could say Gundam Throne Drei.

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.

No one can see the structural difference for Delta Gundam's inability transformation because they put it in storywise. The story goes that the frame was too weak for the Delta Gundam to be able to transform. They perfected it for the Zeta Gundam and from there they took the data for all the other transformable mobile suits.

This machine is how the MSN-00100 Hyaku Shiki, which was initially developed as a transformable mobile suit but completed as a non-transformable mobile suit due to problems with insufficient frame strength, would appear if completed as a transformable mobile suit. While Anaheim Electronics was trying various approaches to develop a production model of the Zeta series as a transformable mobile suit, it also simultaneously conducted a reinvestigation of the shelved Delta plan.

Source: Gundam Wiki

It was the first mobile suit of the Zeta project. So the transformation was just experimental at that point. The Zeta Gundam was the 6th mobile suit of the Zeta Project. The Zeta Project actually began well before the events of Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam actually.

@Razorwing: Could be true. Either way, it looks pretty nice. But I don't think it's a nod to previous Gundam, but something originally intended for the Armed Armor DE. I think it's just basically meant to look at wings regardless of the Destiny Gundam. I think we'll see in episode 7 to why they shaped it like that.

I don't think they actually tell us, but I think it's just the way it was designed lol. As I said, more than a nod than anything, but we'll see.

Yeah, I know that :p But I don't think it's a nod but more a coincidence in design. I don't see why they would make a nod to "Wings of Light" of Destiny Gundam let alone a nod to a mobile suit that's not even in the same universe. I think it's designed to look like wings in episode 7 regardless of Destiny Gundam. I can't see why they'd give a nod to Destiny Gundam in a UC series because Destiny Gundam wasn't as significant or whatever as Unicorn Gundam was. But that's just my opinion.

Just so you know, the shield is called "Armed Armor De" :p And nope, I do not. I only order things through my Dutch supplier so I don't really know any other supplier outside of the Netherlands. I do know that it's on eBay though.

Armed Armor De.. sounds really bad. lol. Considering the shield is only featured in the OVA.. I'll call it the OVA exclusive shield. lmao.

Well, it's from the "Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn - Bande Dessinee" manga in which it's called Armed Armor De So it's not only featured in the OVA but in the manga which the OVA is based off of. It's not only a shield btw, it's also a booster.

He's totally right, and the booster was shown off at the end of Episode 6 when the banshee was equipped with it, thus used against mobile suits from the Nahel Argama.

I was confused at first when I watched it the first time. Actually, was that the first time it was used in the OVA, I always rewatch the first 5?

It's the first time for sure. I hope the Unicorn gets it too.

    • LibreOffice developer takes a dig at Euro-Office in new open letter

      By Ccl Ncc · Posted

      I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • 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

      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.
