Did Terrace come back to the game?

I was playing Terrace last episode.

Questions/Comments (or Comment/Question, whatever)

First, great art for Trask, I haven't seen it before.

Second, is the Kanone Dias the one from the Zeta Manga? If so, what are those cannons on the shoulders, beam or shell? (and all Rick Dias' are red by now, right?)

On Compromise: Let's agree to respect each others views, no matter how wrong yours may be.

No, that was an error. If anyone else notices mistakes please point them out.



Indeed, the Kanone Dias was (sorta) lifted from the Zeta manga like Dolk was - the shoulder cannons are beam weapons. I'll post new MS profiles for it and the Barzams.



Yeah, the Rick Diases are all red. As a matter of fact I think the only one that is easily distinguished from the others (ignoring equipment packs and the Kanone models) is Eddie's with the Frankenstrat shoulder marks.

Wasn't Fritz's Rick Dias painted in a blue hue?

Also, what's up with the lack of the titan transfers in the signup thread roster?

Fritz switched to a stock red color scheme before the Gate of Zedan (I'm pretty sure I mentioned it in-game - he decided he was done associating himself with that part of his past), and his suit was given the Black Knight treatment there anyway so it's painty time for the mechanics anyway once the new limbs and parts are on.

The Titan FNGs will be listed in the roster followup I always do that has the new arrivals for both sides.

EDIT: "New Arrivals" posted in the sign-up thread.

You want to post pictures for the Barzams or should I?

Here's Barzams X-1, X-2 and X-3 courtesy of ScornMandark. I can't seem to find your take on the Barzams , so go ahead and post yours if you want.

Here's art for the Griffin too, since I can't remember if I've posted it. My thanks to ScornMandark again.

Marasai suits are still sticking out like a sore thumb.. Not to mention the Griffin has a FAT HEAD.. o_o

Fear not Big Z for I have included some Custom paint jobs:

RMS-154r [X-0]

RMS-154r [X-1] Standard
RMS-154r [X-1] Ritter Custom

RMS-154r [X-2] Standard
RMS-154r [X-2] Te'litha Custom

RMS-154r [X-3] Standard/Alverez Markings

I hate the standard Barzam so I decided to use the [Refined] version (though admittedly the missile launchers look a lot nicer on Scorn's version of the X-1 'cuz I couldn't find a reference {BTW Scorn where did you get your references? they look very nice})

Now all we need are Titan's colored Marasais standard to 'differentiate' ourselves from Om's forces under Black's orders and we'll be set. :/

Wonton, the second one-shot will reveal what the hell went on in the brig before Black went to talk to Nick.

Everyone who has been contacted about helping our friend Capt. Friday does not know about all of the others. I wanted to keep some player confusion intact as this progresses so I won't comment about Jason.
