^It's a bigger gun. You can also see it on the right side when it's on an action base. I don't like it that much to be honest. The green flaps look weird to me. Sinanju's head sure looks great though seeing that Sinanju was first meant to be a Gundam is interesting. It means that Sinanju is kind of a Gundam in disguise, haha. Proto Sinanju looks like an awesome Gundam though. I wish there was more to it thought instead of just being a prototype.

This looks very interesting. Not liking the first one to be honest but the 2nd one looks cool.

Would be interesting if this would become a new anime series.

That's not what Heero is using. Heero is going to use a Gundam called 'Snow White'. Also, Heero is the only original pilot from Gundam Wing who still pilots mobile suits. He was kept in a cold sleep. Duo has become a priest who does undercover work. Trowa and Quatre Raberba Winner both are the 'doctors' (they're called 'doctors' much like the minds behind the Gundam in the original story) who made the new Gundam which are being used in "New Mobile Report Gundam Wing: Frozen Teardrop".

Also, that Gundam is called Scheherazade Gundam and in the other post you'll see him with the cross and one where he's still covering up the whole Gundam with the cloth. It's pilot is Trowa Phobos. He looks like Trowa and whatnot but as far as the story goes, they're not related. The names the previous Gundam pilots had where codenames anyways. So there's no link in that either.

Also, what other 2 links?

^Fair enough :p

Btw, did you know that the 6th episode of Gundam Unicorn is slated for next year instead of Fall this year? I already knew this though there hasn't been much talk about this here. I hope that his means that the episode will be longer then the usual 50 minutes. It's highly possible seeing since they're almost at the end of the series and I'm sure they don't want to rush things now that they've added a 7th episode to the list.

Also, you might want to read the prequel "Mobile Suit Gundam UC The Postwar: The War After the War". I am currently searching for the novel, haha.

Fukui also wrote a prequel novel, which was bundled with the PS3 adaptation's Special Edition released on March 8, 2012. Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn: The Postwar War contains an all-new story set two years before the events of the first episode. It deals with Full Frontal's origins and how the Neo Zeon stole the Sinanju.

It would be cool if they'd be longer. The quality of the currently released episodes is already pretty high IMO. But we'll see. Perhaps it's just because they need to rewrite the script a bit.

Seen that Phase Shift-Off version of Justice Gundam last week. I still find it stupid that they're making such Gunpla, but oh well. Loving both Death Scythe Gundam. Though I'd rather have the EW version without the wings, haha. Though it's a pretty sweet mod.

The difference of the RX-78-2 RG 1/144 might be just the stand yeah.

^Mobile Suit Gundam Battle Operation. ?

The Liberal Democratic Party, a center-right faction in Japanese politics, will hold a live, 12-hour marathon stream on the niconico service on Thursday, and one of the marathon's panels will discuss "the Gundam Development Project, as seriously considered by the Liberal Democratic Party."

Masaaki Taira and Hideki Niwa, two members of Japan's House of Representatives, will speak during the 8:00 p.m. panel with their guest, novelist Harutoshi Fukui. Fukui happens to be the writer of the Mobile Suit Gundam UC novels (pictured below right).

Taira reported last year that his party would consider adding the efforts to realize "piloted, two-legged walking humanoid robots" into the party's platform manifesto. Taira also posted an extended discussion about the feasibility of piloted walking robots on Twitter, using the anime and manga titles Gundam, Appleseed, and Patlabor (pictured left) as examples. Taira broached the topic after meeting with Katsuya Kanaoka, a professor of robotics from Kyoto University.

In 2008, SciencePortal.jp, a website run by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), released a report estimating how much it would cost to build a 18-meter-tall (59-feet-tall), functioning "Morph-X" combat robot similar to those used in Gundam. The Japanese government funds about 90% of JST's budget, with the remaining coming from the agency's own operational income.

Quatro and GP02?! Very interesting. Seems like they're going to tell more off what else happened to Char between "Mobile Suit Gundam" and "Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam". Really looking forward to that manga. It's name is "Mobile Suit Gundam Z Define - MS Rick Dias". Honestly can't wait for that manga to come out.

Also looking forward to "Gundam UC Legend":

    • Apple launches new website for parents and a revamped Screen Time experience

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple launches new website for parents and a revamped Screen Time experience by Aditya Tiwari At WWDC 2026, Apple announced new parental control features for iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 to keep kids' device usage in check and keep them safe online. As a parent, you'll get access to a simpler setup experience, Ask to Browse, Time Allowances, and a redesigned Screen Time. You'll be able to pick exactly which apps your child can access on their device, choosing from just a few essential apps, a curated set, or the apps you feel are appropriate. There will be an option to gradually add more apps. Ask to Browse is a new feature that requires kids to request permission before visiting a new website in Safari on iPhone, iPad, or Mac. You can also turn on a setting that requires your kid to ask for approval before connecting with an unknown contact via Messages, FaceTime, or the Phone app. You can manage your child's screen time more effectively with Time Allowances that work across categories, including Games, Entertainment, and Social Media. You can set time limits based on your kid's age and get suggestions informed by expert research. Speaking of expert guidance, Apple added that it's working with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to adapt its Family Media Plan to create a guide parents can refer to when using Apple products. Moreover, the company has also set up a new dedicated website, where you can find tools, resources, and answers to common questions around parental controls and child safety. Apple also allows parents to set daily schedules to manage screen time, configuring access to different apps at different times of the day and across the week. Overall, the Screen Time section has been revamped and provides a bird's-eye view of your kid's average device usage and most-used apps. "For example, to help protect important family moments, parents can quickly limit access during meals, outdoor play, and other times that deserve full attention. If kids need a little extra time to finish something in an app, parents can also easily extend access," Apple said. Apart from these, Communication Safety has been updated to block gore or violent content when detected in shared images or videos. The feature already blurs nudity in Messages and FaceTime calls, and is enabled by default for users under 18.
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list

      By +Warwagon · Posted

      They already threw the Ultra 1st gen under the bus? It really feels like someone screwed up, and that advanced AI features will only be available on the list above but someone screwed up and said that Watch OS 27 in general will only be available for those models. I think they will pull it back. I did see someone also put a snap shot of their series 9 watch being offered the watch os 27 beta. As the backlash online is already in full swing.

      Right, Google... because that's who this is going to. Google, the company who's entire business model is geared around ad revenue and your personal data.
    • Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups

      By deadonthefloor · Posted

      That is the natural course for regulations. First to protect the consumer. Then to protect the business/industry from upstart competition. There are countless examples across history.
    • 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.
