Re: The Official Gundam Unicorn Mecha Thread Mk II

Can't see the poll either :?
Delta Plus already has an HGUC AND an MG, so I'd rather not. Ditto the Kämpfer. Of the other options...
Big Zam ANYTHING is going to be retardedly huge, so not ideal. As for the rest...the Bawoo and Barzam're just silly. Zakrello's even more ridiculous, and the Agg should not even be on that poll when there are so many other awesome MS out there that DID get animated and deserve some love from the HGUC line.
The only ones really that I'd be interested in seeing are the Doven Wolf or GM Sniper II.

Re: The Official Gundam Unicorn Mecha Thread Mk II

Yeah sure, of course the new Gundam is in the lead. :roll: *sigh* No Dra-C, no Geymalk, no Galbaldy Beta, no Hanbrabi, no Gundam Mk V or Xeku Zwei, no Dwadge or Desert Zaku, no Efreet plamo, no F91 updates.... Hey at least they didn't offer to make a Baund Doc! :D Alas, I cannot see the poll here. Will have to go to a friend's machine and see if it shows up here.

Kampfer: Zeonography, MG, HG-UC, we're good.
Gabthley: already covered recently
Bawoo: Just do another run of HG-UC already.
Big Zam: No thanks, I don't need another end table.
Zakrello: Even the consideration of resurrecting that, that robeast should be sending people to fire nastygrams at Bandai!
Agg: Zeon ftaghn! Would accept a HG-UC version to finish off the MSM corps.
GM Sniper II: Sure, it's about time they finished War in the Pocket! :lol:
Barzam: This one has gotten passed over forever, so it'd be OK to do something with it.

Hey, watch it. The Agg's primary means of defending itself are a pair of massive, earth-devouring drills. This automatically makes it bloody awesome. 8)

I'm reminded now of your prior show of hate for the Agguguy, as well. What's the matter? The prospect of your mobile suit getting violated by heat tentacles too chilling for you? :lol:

The Agguguy carries with it not only ridiculousness like no other, but it also summons to mind the Tigerbaum episodes of ZZ, which are cause enough for crawling flesh. =P

Re: The Official Gundam Unicorn Mecha Thread Mk II

Ridiculous, perhaps, but you also can't deny its intimidation factor. If Acguy is cuddly, then the Agguguy is its mutated demon cousin from Hell. If one of those things were to ever come charging at me from out of the swamp in the dead of night, I would not be sticking around to try and get a better look at what it was, I would flee.

However, I have yet to see past the first couple episodes of ZZ Gundam, so I'm unfortunately unable to relate to any horrors that might have been associated with its appearance there. >.>

Gundam Info has a poll on what MS/MA you'd like to see in the future in different merchandise, UC OVA staff says they will take the result in consideration. Poll is on the left side, opions are: Zakrelo, Big Zam, Agg, Kaempfer, GM Sniper II, Gabthley, Barzam, Bawoo, Doven Wolf and Delta Plus(is winning).
It's actually Zeta Plus. I think that's what you meant to type anyway. The poll is only in the on Japanese language page as usual: http://www.gundam.info/top.php. I don't mind Zeta plus. I am happy to see Barzam doing well though. It's too underloved. Not to mention it's actually awesome looking with a few proportion tweaks. Something in between the AOZ barzam and the original. Not "refined barzam" and that Mk II silliness.

Re: The Official Gundam Unicorn Mecha Thread Mk II

Ooops, I meant Zeta Plus indeed. With the trend of using MSV or non anime designs by Katoki and Akitaka the OVA 5 mystery MS is going to be either a Geara Doga Kai or a Zeta Plus, Zeku Zwei has also a 6 letter japanese name but I think it's less likely. Regarding the other guest MSes for OVA 6 I'm 100% certain we are going to see a lot of nice cameos like: Doven Wolf, Barzam, Bawoo, etc...

If it's for Unicorn, I don't mind seeing Silver Bullet coming after Doven Wolf and/or Gundam Mk.V. But I do root for more [Refined] Barzam love.
Well, I guess I'm a nobody...

I completely forgot that thing existed. I saw it and thought...what is this, a handicapped Guren Lagann?

Zeta Plus, eh?

I always approve of any tenuous canonicity nod that Sentinel might get, so happy to see that this one is proving a popular choice.

Re: The Official Gundam Unicorn Mecha Thread Mk II

Oh come on, does that mean they will make an HGUC and possibly an MG 2.0 for the Zeta Plus? I can see why it got the most votes not necessarily because of the desire of being merchandised, but the fact that it still hasn't been animated as opposed to the other candidates.

Honestly, in an interview the producer hinted that the next Guest Mecha will consist of 6 Japanese Katakana letters. If the Z is spelt with 3 letters, then this must be it.

Ah, so it's a Zeta Plus? NO wonder it is out ahead! There has been not much for Zeta Plus outside of FiXX. I have the old 1/144 kit; it's alright, but sadly lackluster compared to the HG-UC line. It would be nice to get some Zeta Plus HG-UC love.

If the secret MS that will appear in episode 5 has 6 Japanese letters then the Hamma Hamma is also a possibility. Especially considering the Rozen Zulu, which is based on that design, will also appear in episode 5.

While the choice to put that thing on the list is pretty weird, its not the worst mobile suit I've ever seen.

I'm more concerned that the Zakrello of all things is on the list. If that thing wins, then all of Gundam shall forever be dead to me.

EDIT: I too hope that the Zeta Plus wins. I always liked how the design looked. I'm not sure about the Hamma Hamma, though. If they already have the Rozen Zulu, which is essentially the expy for the Hamma Hamma, the probably won't bring it in.

Re: The Official Gundam Unicorn Mecha Thread Mk II

Funny, I could say the exact same thing for the Zeta Plus. For all the stylistic differences, it's just as similar to the Delta Plus as the Hamma Hamma is to the Rozen Zulu.

Nah, if I had to pick something to get in it would be the Doven Wolf, which genuinely needs more love but doesn't seem to be getting it based on the poll numbers.

Maybe your'e right......I haven't seen a lot of footage of the Doven-Wolf, but I do like its wire-arm beam gun things. Reminds me very much of the Zeong.

Went for Sniper II, out of all the GM's we have, i think this clearly needs a proper HGUC kit or even better a MG :D *Dreams of White Dingo colors*

Don't mind the Barzam either, refined that is.

Zeta Plus, yea wouldn't mind either.
