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.

      "Of course the easiest solution is to switch to uBlock Origin Lite if you want to remain on Chrome, as it is MV3-based, but from our experience, uBO Lite does not seem to be as good as the original non-Lite version" In my experience uBlock Origin Lite does the job for normal everday home users. When they kill that we get to watch Firefox and Brave get a boost in user market share.

      Block by DNS ad blocker! I dare you! I will even layer unlock Origin, on top of my internal DNS, if I need to and I don’t even block ads today (I really should but this type of behavior makes me angry). I suppose I could also just be lazy, and add the flags myself, back to each release (it wouldn’t be that difficult).

      Wonder what MPs have ties to these privacy/verification/data harvesting companies that are going to step in this time. Last time under the Tories half the cabinet had fingers in the pies, heck even the PM and his wife at the time was working for silicon valley, probably made a fortune.

      Google Chrome is killing all uBlock Origin bypasses, Microsoft Edge, Opera to follow by Sayan Sen For a while now the transition away from Manifest V2 (MV2) to MV3 has been on-going and it looks like it is entering its final phase of deprecation, at least, in the case of Google Chrome. A recent discussion thread in the w3c WebExtensions Community Group GitHub repo has highlighted how the latest and upcoming versions of the most popular browser are expected to be its final releases with support for MV2 extensions. Chromium contributor Andrey Bershanskiy shared details about recent Chromium changes and according to comments from Google engineer Devlin Cronin, Chrome has now started removing the flags that previously controlled MV2 availability. kExtensionManifestV2Disabled, the Chromium feature flag that allowed controlled disabling of MV2 add-ons, is now completely removed, which means you will likely no longer find uBlock Origin in your browser extensions list. He wrote: "The kExtensionManifestV2Disabled feature has been default-enabled for over a year. Remove the feature and the effectively-dead code. ... Any tests that relied on being in the "warning" phase (i.e., with the kExtensionManifestV2Disabled) for their sole behavior testing are removed, since this stage is no longer reachable." Cronin further explained why MV2 extensions are no longer allowed in supported Chrome versions as maintaining the associated functionality indefinitely is no longer possible. He cited growing technical difficulties and implementation complexities as well as security concerns. He wrote: "MV2 extensions are no longer allowed in any supported version of Chrome, and we are removing support for them and the associated functionality. We won't be able to provide / maintain this functionality indefinitely due to the complexity and tech debt, as well as the security risks it entails (we've actually found a number of bugs that are specific to MV2 lately). Of course, other browsers can continue supporting these if they so desire. Unfortunately, we won't be putting code behind a compilation flag ... We won't be removing all the MV2 code wholesale right away, so many of these things will continue working for awhile (but they will go away eventually, and some may go away sooner than others)." What this essentially means is that the tricks and bypasses that were used to keep MV2 extensions like uBlock Origin and others alive will not work any more on Chrome, or at least not for very long. For example the Windows Registry mod that could extend MV2 availability will cease to function after Chromium version 151. Here is a rundown of the changes coming in the final such releases of Chromium releases: Chromium 150 lost ExtensionManifestV2Disabled option Chromium 151 will loose ExtensionManifestV2Unsupported option Chromium 151 will loose ExtensionManifestV2Availability option Chromium 151 will likely loose AllowLegacyMV2Extensions option Other Chromium-based browsers like Opera and Microsoft Edge could soon follow suit too. Although it is not specified, Edge began disabling uBlock Origin back in February, and Opera could also stop the functioning of MV2 add-ons, even though it had committed to support MV2 for longer in October 2024. uBlock Origin developer Raymond Hill (gorhill) apparently stated the following: "For Opera I did submit 1.70.0 rather late, but this was weeks ago. A while ago I received an email from Opera that they plan to abandon MV2-based extension so maybe they are no longer allocating resources for reviewing such extensions." The email which developers like Gorhill mentions was received from Opera last year. Here is what it seemingly said: Hence for now the only Chromium browser that seems to be on-board fully with MV2 support is Brave, and perhaps Vivaldi as well. Meanwhile if you want to ditch Chromium browsers entirely then Mozilla Firefox is an excellent alternative as MV3 and MV2 are both supported. Of course the easiest solution is to switch to uBlock Origin Lite if you want to remain on Chrome, as it is MV3-based, but from our experience, uBO Lite does not seem to be as good as the original non-Lite version.

In addition, we have an ad-free subscription for $28 a year, which is another way to show support!
