Are you sure you can't find any thrusters? Speaking of Wing Custom in video games, in the game Gundam: Encounters In Space Wing 0 Custom shows the same "backpack" thrusters as its two predecessors.

Now I could be entirely wrong, but the impression I get from watching all 3 SEED series is that coordinators and naturals aren't that different in terms of piloting skill, it was more that some coordinators liked to think so and some naturals fearfully thought so. Mu La Flaga could go head to head ...

For the main sensors that are mounted in the monoeye, you're going to put them somewhere and, barring some major redesign to the unit, the location they are in works well. As for the cockpit, it's somewhat similar in how it would be placed on a mobile suit, and at least it isn't as horridly exposed...

Wow, that's already quite a list. It's interesting, though, how many of those are either one-time-only encounters or side story material. I'd like to see more in animation, but it seems that's still somewhat slow in coming (though at least they went halfway with Tieria and Loran...). Perhaps the on...

Re: reply

For those who haven't read it, I talked about this topic before , heh. Anyways, some beam weapons give better range than a normal sword, and those wielded by two hands make more of an impact when clashing against other beam weapons. Though, I think it's mostly just to give different and cooler looks...

Good point, although I remember when I first saw the Abyss's armaments, I did a double take. CE battery tech can be rather... fast. So in that context, sure the Destroy might have some new fangled cluster-battery that they recharge every now and again, but that mental image screams for some sort of...

True, but what about him fighting Cima in the first place? That was part of the fighting with the then-friendly Marines I mentioned... Oh, sorry. Yeah I think he just wanted to avenge South Burning but can you blame him for killing Cima and destroying her ship, Burning was like a mentor to him. ......

I think it was more of Kou's general conduct in the battle, fighting with some of the by-that-point friendly Marines (Notably, sinking the Lili Marleen ) and (IIRC) ignoring return orders, firing at Bask Om's ship and things like that, rather than interferring with attempts to stop the colony (Kou ...

1 Why does cima go through all that trouble to get the colony but then later she works with the federation to destroy it? Revenge for how the other Zeon forces treated her and the Marines is what I would guess was a big reason behind her betrayal. As for exactly why she waited as long as she did to...

Wiki and the summaries, huh? All the more reason you should NOT have judged it the way you did. And why is focusing on grunts a bad thing? lol I didn't say grunts was a bad thing.

If such petty things bother you so much and cause you to give up on the show, it's your own loss. But there's no point in complaining about it if you can't even be bothered to watch beyond the first episode. Okay, I took the advice of the big boss and saw episodes 2 and 3. Well, almost 3. Man, and ...

Re: reply

You should. You can't really judge an entire series based on simply the first few episodes. It gets much better as it goes on like they should. I dunno, I couldn't keep watching after the first because of all the nakedness going on. And all those people were complaining SEED Destiny episode opening...

Actually only one fleet, as I recall, and about 25 mobile suits, give or take. And with the vaunted Kira Yamato behind the wheel. Given that that's the only time a first-generation Gundam did any real fighting in DESTINY (Cagalli mostly floated around and cried), it kinda says a lot. lol Cagalli So...

Gundam Wing!

Well, I know it's been in some games before (Battle Assault comes to mind), but I was really hoping to see the Physalis, GP-02, in DW: Gundam. I've always liked the suit, no small thanks to Gato for being such a great character, and thought it would've made a fun addition to the game. Maybe in part...
