^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.

^That looks way better than the original!

Also, some better images of the Gundam Wing goodness:

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's AI smart glasses and Vision headset plans reportedly delayed, again

      By AnalystDan · Posted

      Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By grunger106 · Posted

      So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
    • I Can't Wrap My Head Around This Number - Google to buy computing from SpaceX at $920 million per month

      By Nick H. · Posted

      What I can't seem to understand is that Google are paying SpaceX? Surely it would be the other way round, with SpaceX needing Google's datacenters etc.? Oh well, this level of money and power is way outside of my comprehension at the best of times.
    • Helium Browser 0.13.1.1

      By cork1958 · Posted

      "77ee94b helium/windows: winsparkle updater (built-in auto-update support on Windows" If that's what I think it is, that is about the only thing that's been missing from this excellent browser. I guess I'll find out the next time I'm on a Windows machine.
