Re: Super Robot Wars series(who else plays them?)

I love Super Robot Wars, even though the only one I've played is Alpha Gaiden (because it had Gundam X and Turn A). Other than that, I just usually watch others play SRW games (since I don't have a Japanese/modded PS2, and I don't feel like importing so many games). Though, I would really love to se...

Re: What are some great mecha shows yall would suggest

If you like real-robot type shows, I personally recommend Eureka Seven. Or, if you want something different, watch Xenoglossia. It's made by Sunrise (same people who made Gundam), and I think its animation is just superb. Plus, the mecha designs are very unique. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYgrFF...

ZZ Gundam's ending (SPOILER ALERT)

In ZZ Gundam's ending, when Judau and Leina finally get reunited, Judau mentioned that Leina has grown bigger (which is true, because at that scene, Leina looks much more grown up than before). So, my question is, just how long was the time gap between Haman's defeat and Judau and Leina's reunion? I...

Re: EXAM System

So basically, the mobile suits equipped with the EXAM system get a massive power boost because of the newtype soul's rage? So is it pretty much a biosensor 2.0, but instead of power coming from the pilot/dead people, the power comes from the soul within the machine? EDIT: here are some examples of ...

EXAM System

I know that official sources say that the EXAM system allows the user to have newtype-like skills, or something like that. However, in various Gundam games, the EXAM System is shown to improve the MACHINE, instead of the pilot (like, giving the machine incredible speed, kinda like Trans-AM, or unlim...

Zanneck and its "Flying Saucer"

So I was recently watching Victory Gundam, and after seeing the Zanneck's debut battle, I started to wonder how the Zanneck's "flying saucer" works. I noticed that the Zanneck doesn't seem to use rocket thrusters to propel itself; rather, the platform its standing on generates some sort of...

VSBR

Yeah, we all know that VSBRs are very powerful weapons that are even capable of penetrating beam shields. But, my question is, if VSBRs can pierce through beam shields, then can it also penetrate I-Fields? Or do I-Fields still deflect VSBRs?

Wow... that was perfect harmony! Now that's how their relationship should be! They should be helping each other, not fighting! XD

Anyways, it was amazing to see classics such as ZZ, V2, and GX animated in HD-quality!

Re: Kido Senshi Gundam 0084 (Serialized story)

And that's what I love about the Universal Century; "Gundams" don't necessarily have to be overpowered one-man-army mobile suits. XD


Anyways, as a big UC fan, I'm really excited for this. Another great addition to the 30th Anniversary!

Re: Gundam F91 has a biosensor?!

So can the bio-computer theoretically perform similar supernatural phenomena that the biosensor is infamous for? I mean, can it turn the Gundam F91 into a god-mode killing machine just like how the biosensor can with the Zeta/ZZ?

Gundam F91 has a biosensor?!

Due to sheer boredom, I decided to re-watch Gundam F91 (lol, after years of not watching it), and immediately after the scene where Seabook pretended to be losing control of the F91 (so he can grab ahold of one of the Jegans), he said: "This biosensor fits my biorhythm. It's definitely my Mom's...

So the I-Field Beam Drive System is not only the Turn A's source of propulsion, but is also the system that "moves" the Turn A? But, does the I-Field Beam Drive System provide propulsion/lift to the Turn A similar to how the Minovsky Drives provide propulsion/lift to the V2? Because judgin...

Turn A's propulsion?

According to the official data found here at MAHQ, the Turn A uses an "I-field Beam Drive System" for its propulsion. What I want to know is, what exactly is it and how does it work? Judging from the name, is it safe to assume that the I-Field Beam Drive System is the same as a Minovsky Dr...

Re: How to defeat the Moonlight Butterfly?

I read somewhere that the Moonlight Butterfly has three requirements that need to be fulfilled before it can be activated. So, I agree with Wingnut; probably the best way to counter the MB is to prevent it from being used in the first place. But, that's not really saying much, considering the immens...

The Gundam Double X, Garrod's final unit, is most famous for its Twin Satellite Cannons. However, one of its lesser-known features is that it contains Jamil Neate's brainwaves, allowing non-newtypes like Garrod to use the Twin Satellite Cannons without the need for a Flash System/Newtype brainwaves....
