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

That would mean that they're further with technology in Mobile Suit Gundam as well because they've got colonies but not advanced mobile suits. So what you're saying doesn't really make sense in that respect. In Anno Domini (Gundam 00's Universe) they just simply haven't build colonies because they had no need for it but certainly do have the tech. for it.

@Razorwing: I also still wonder why you think that Turn A Gundam is based off of the Destiny Gundam because there's not a single way for how that is possible.

Yeah, but how can Turn A Gundam be based off of Destiny Gundam if Turn A Gundam was made 5 years before it :p If anything, Destiny Gundam's 'Wings of Light' would be based off of Turn A Gundam's 'Moon Light Butterfly' since it was a popular things amongst fans in Turn A Gundam.

The Wings of Light thing etc all originates from the original Zeta Gundam and Chars Counter Attack anyways. They're just using a different shape for it since they're not using a Psycho-Frame, but thruster in wings.

Believe me, SEED and SEED Destiny are good series but not much in it is as original as you sometimes make it seem to be :p

I was making a choice between Nu and Mk-II to be honest. I wanted to have the titans (well titans in my opinion) of the Universal Century on 1 shelf before investing in other Gunpla :p And Nu Gundam looks way better than Sinanju Stein. Sinanju Stein looks awesome, don't get me wrong. But compared with Nu Gundam ver. Ka it looks a bit plain.

Nu Gundam ver. Ka is going to look badass though. Specially when I have my room renovated and done because it'll be on proper display then.

And I know you still like SEED and SEED Destiny :p Was just pointing out that flaw.

^Haha, that would be expensive but it does look bloody epic. It's a pain to transform the MG 1/100 though so I can't imagine how it must be to try and keep the RG version half transformered without dangling pieces :p

So I've been watching 00 again as always, and I just realized that they've already had colonies, just not in certain places, nor was it a popular topic to even realize. Remember the Super Soldier facility.

You mean the the Human Reform League's Quanqiu Bernal Sphere-type colony? Yeah, forgot about that one. And Celestial Being's Krung Threp for Gundam manufacturing is also seen as a colony and the Union also had a colony. Though what I meant with that post is that they didn't have any colonies as we know colonies in Gundam. Structures in space habitable for humans/animals etc. to live in instead of on earth. Like an extension of earth. Personally I don't really see the colonies in Gundam 00 as colonies in that respect.

From Gundam Wiki:

There is only few information mentioned about space colonies in the Gundam 00 timeline, most colonies being known are located at L3 and from beyond the asteroid belt. The only known colonies being Krung Threp which the the Gundams are manufactured and tested, the HRL's Quanqiu Bernal Sphere-type colony connected to a solar power collection satellite as the home to Supersoldier developmental facility and a Union's colony. By 2312, another colony is created from beyond the asteroid belt after the Earth Sphere Federation was found.

Other than the main purposes the colonies are built for, the A-laws under ESF sends rebels, especially Kataron members, to work under high gravity deep within the colony. In episode 8 of the second season, it hints the A-laws tend to send rebels to space colonies.

There is evidence some colonies are built for many years but forbidden by a treaty drafted during the Solar Conflict.

I guess the funny thing is that.. that never happened in the show. They had it one piece at  a time, not all on at once. Also, apparently there is a new 'Gundam BF' series being announced on July 2nd. 

Yeah, they also showed a 1/144 Gundam for it. It looks so un-inspirational. It's a mishmash of SEED Gundam:

The later image is a fan created image I bet. I don't really like this Gundam tbh. I mean the head looks great, but that's it. I really hope they stop copying/mixing Gundams for future projects :/

Also, my Nu Gundam arrived last weekend. Haven't started building it yet though because I need a Micro-Sol solution for the decals. It has like, 50 waterslide decals which I didn't know before I bought the kit. I thought they'd be normal decals. But oh well, at least this means the decals will look pretty real without the shiny parts of the usual decals.

^Neither have I, but that's because these are special waterslide decals. They don't use them very much and I believe they're only used on ver. Ka models. You need to put Micro-Sol on the surface and then soak the decal in water for 12 seconds, and then you slide them onto the surface with a q-tip. Tricky as hell, haha.

I'm just saddened by the fact that they're copying previous Gundams again. This all started with Gundam AGE. Well, Gundam 00 to be honest with the 0 Gundam. But with AGE is was just over the top.

^Makes sense for it to go to Blu-Ray and DVD since it's more of a retelling/extended version of the 2nd arc.

Also, I was going to post this for you:

That's a nice pose for it.

Goddamn.. I wonder did they mod it? I don't think it will snap in place? But Goddamn that is BEASTLY. 

 

Scratch that, apparently it is actually included with the MG AG2-DB kit.

although my question is.. how does it fit.. hmm

Are you talking about the Action Base snapping into place? Because action bases come with several ways to put a Gundam on it. Also, I highly doubt that they'll add a Action Base like the white one with the kit. It's a regular Action Base which they sell separately and I believe there isn't a single Gunpla that has an action base like that included. You're likely more likely to get the one that comes with Gundam 00 QAN [T] which is rather small and unstable.

No, I was talking about the AGE-2 Normal "Wings". It's included in the runner, so you can actually add them on. But I don't see any hole there on the side to insert them.. I may think you have to manually drill a hole through it to make it fit.

I found it.. it's the two M plate runners at the bottom. I'd say it was intentional. 

 

20130613_1228685.jpg

Yeah, and then they just snap into the black parts behind the white armor. Makes sense that they made it intentional :p

Didn't know you meant the wings because you didn't mention them earlier, haha. Plus I didn't notice the wings either :p

    • macOS ‘Golden Gate' unveiled with standalone Siri app, performance improvements and more by Hamid Ganji After months of rumors about Apple’s latest software updates, the company unveiled macOS 27 at the 2026 Worldwide Developers Conference. macOS 27 isn’t a major departure from the previous version; instead, it focuses on refining the user experience and fixing some of the annoying bugs users have reported over the past year. The new macOS 27 is named Golden Gate. When it comes to the list of new features, you should not expect a long one, as Apple has followed the Snow Leopard playbook from 2009 with macOS 27. First, the Liquid Glass interface isn’t gone; it's been updated to improve readability. It gets a new slider in settings to adjust Liquid Glass, letting you go from ultra-clear to fully tinted with ease. App icons also get an additional layer of Liquid Glass to look sharper. Smoother system animations, faster content loading, and a similar corner radius for windows are other improvements for macOS 27. With iOS 27, Apple released a standalone Siri app for iPhone users, and the app is also coming to Macs with the latest update. The all-new Siri AI app features a chatbot-style interface and aims to compete with Google’s Gemini and OpenAI’s ChatGPT. It supports both text and voice prompts and provides users with access to previous conversations for reference. The Siri app can also perform a wide range of tasks, including on-device search, image generation, information summarization, and more. Users can also rely on Siri for personal context. Siri is integrated with various apps, allowing users to complete tasks with a single prompt. With the screen awareness capability, you can ask Siri about locations and images on your screen. Which devices won’t get macOS 27? If you’re still using an Intel-powered Mac, we have bad news for you. macOS 27 is only compatible with Apple Silicon chips and drops support for Intel-based Macs. Here’s a list of devices that won’t be compatible with macOS 27: Mac Pro (2019) 16-inch MacBook Pro (2019) 27-inch iMac (2020) 13-inch MacBook Pro (2020) When can you get macOS 27? Apple developers can now access the first beta of macOS 27. However, the first public beta is expected to be released sometime next month. Users will have to wait until this fall for the stable version of macOS 27.
    • Who wants to pay higher prices for the same 6+ year hardware in a new shell? This is hardware where things change fast and improve continuously. They could update w/ quicker/more efficient compute, faster storage, new controllers with new features (not a shell/design update), which are all realistic possibilities. They've done mid-generation console updates, but all we've had for Series X/S are not just different configuration updates (storage / digital versions / console aesthetics). Instead they've prioritized acquisitions, increasing prices, and have lost quite bit of their fan base because of lack of vision.
    • LibreOffice developer takes a dig at Euro-Office in new open letter by Usama Jawad LibreOffice maintainer The Document Foundation (TDF) has often criticized Microsoft for popularizing the OOXML standard for documents instead of the truly open-source OpenDocument Format (ODF). It has also bashed the Redmond tech giant for putting its own commercial interests over everything else. Now, it has switched targets a bit to aim its sights at the Euro-Office suite launching tomorrow. For those unaware, Euro-Office is a direct fork of OnlyOffice. It is being marketed as an open-source "European sovereign alternative" to proprietary services like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. It is being developed by a coalition of European companies including Nextcloud, IONOS, and Tuta. However, TDF has disagreed with this marketing classification in an open letter, saying that it is not the first open-source office suite being developed in Europe, as that honor belongs to OpenOffice.org, back in 2001. In a snide remark, it has emphasized that it feels "compelled" to clarify this because open-source initiatives should highlight transparency, not deception. It has stated that OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice are the only two "genuine" office suites with codebases in Europe, indicating that Euro-Office is a freeware clone of Microsoft Office that has rebranded itself to masquerade as a symbol of digital sovereignty. TDF has also remarked on the fact that those that are championing digital sovereignty now were very dismissive of LibreOffice and ODF a couple of decades ago: The LibreOffice has once again called out Microsoft for its "horrible" OOXML standard which locks in customers. Euro-Office also leverages this OOXML format, which effectively makes it an ally of Microsoft, according to LibreOffice. That said, it is unlikely if TDF's strong words will have any impact on the adoption or marketing of Euro-Office.
    • Apple finally brings the slider for Liquid Glass and many other changes by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off the official live stream of the WWDC 2026 annual developer event. The company began its latest wave of announcements with changes to the controversial Liquid Glass design language, which debuted last year across Apple's entire software ecosystem. A lot of people didn't like Liquid Glass when it first arrived on iPhone and other devices last year. The devices were plagued with transparency issues and whatnot. While Apple improved things over the year, it has now added a new Liquid Glass slider that lets you switch the transparency from clear to opaque. In other words, you can choose the amount of Liquid Glass you want to see on your iPhone instead of an on/off switch, which would only give you two choices. The sidebars now expand to the edge of the window. When you scroll the UI sideways, the refraction continues beneath the sidebar rather than being cut off at the boundary. Moreover, sidebar icons keep their color. Apple has changed the way Liquid Glass is rendered across the system. There is a separation between different layers, which makes buttons in the toolbar stand out from the background. Apple said it "deeply appreciates" the feedback it received from users and has made adjustments to Liquid Glass. New customizations allow Liquid Glass to improve contrast and enable a more vibrant appearance. The new icons have sharper edges, which addresses an old complaint that iOS 26 icons look blurry at smaller sizes. The upgraded Liquid Glass, Apple said, is building on last year's design upgrades by "integrating additional layers of Liquid Glass directly into the artwork itself." Apple's upgraded design language is available on iOS 27, which is arriving this year with no changes to the list of supported iPhones.
