Lol, they look nothing like Zeta to be honest :p AGE-3 looks like ZZ and AGE-2 looks more like Gundam 00, imo.

I'm actually referring to the functionality of converting to flight mode and 2 piece assembles. :p

Ah, when you put it like that you're right :p It's too bad though that the 3 main suits from Gundam AGE are basically copies of the original Gundam, Zeta (in a way) and ZZ. Though it's not as bad as what they did with the first half of Gundam SEED in which they just copied the original Gundam series.

That's not the point though plus both Universes are different. In the original series they were at the start of using mobile suits in wars. Also, Impulse Destiny is from SEED Destiny which wasn't like the original series.

Speaking of Advanced, I guess you could say, anything with a GN Drive is more advanced. But as far as originality, MSG will always be the greatest. :p

But Gundam 00 was nothing like Mobile Suit Gundam though, haha. That show was more like Gundam Wing, which wasn't anything like MSG either. But yeah, GN Drives are is probably the most advanced technology. On second thought, I think that a Psycho-Frame might be even more advanced. A GN Drive is merely a generator system for the Gundam whereas the Psycho-Frame was nano technology build into the frame of, for example, the Nu Gundam to make it possible for New Types to use a mobile suit as an extension of their body. And at the end of Char's Counterattack the psychoframe resonated with high emotions and willpower, pushing Amuro's already amazing Newtype powers to new heights, and managed to push Axis away from the Earth.

Though like I said, there's no way of comparing technologies from all Gundam Universes with each other.

But if you think about it, Seed is more in the future therefore more technologically advanced. what about a Gundam with 4 Sync'd GN Drives, a live Psychoframe and has some sort of Extreme Blast mode? lol.

You're probably right, since in 00, they've yet to complete colony development.

Didn't 00 in the end Burst? Haha

We can all dream :p

Wow, I never knew Igloo was based before. I suppose the RX-78-2 was the very first custom Gundam made for the public federation, right?

Well, RX-78-1 was technically the first. But like I said, mobile suits were just being developed for war during the One Year War and the RX-78-2 was the first one that saw battle. Also IGLOO doesn't even have a Gundam in the story.

But if you think about it, Seed is more in the future therefore more technologically advanced. what about a Gundam with 4 Sync'd GN Drives, a live Psychoframe and has some sort of Extreme Blast mode? lol.

It still wasn't my point in what I was comparing between Mobile Suit Gundam and SEED. I was merely talking about how they copied the story of MSG in the start of SEED. MSG was based off of the fact that mobile suits were just being used in war. In SEED they had already seen war, so there's no doubt there further with mobile suit technology. But again, I wasn't trying to compare both series based off of technology.

I wouldn't like a Gundam series if it had a Gundam that was so OP.

What you mean Burst? You mean Trans-AM? I also figured it makes sense for the Turn A to have the 'Moon Light Butterfly' since it's probably based off the Destiny.

Snip

Different way around. SEED Destiny (2004-2005) was made after Turn A Gundam (1999-2000). If anything, they based that butterfly thing in Destiny off of Turn A Gundam. And I believe he means Trans-AM Burst.

Anyways, the universes in Gundam are in no way linked together. It's been stated many times as well. They just develop these universes to develop new Gundam stories without making it a continuation of a previous series.

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

      "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
    • 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.

    • iOS 27 & Apple Intelligence. Many iPhones become obsolete, right?

      And within the EU all this Siri AI stuff will probably work around 2030 and the IPhone 25 🤣
