In mobile suit Gundam, the North American Blockadge episode, we see the Gundam make great leaps into the air. But when it lands. Amuro counts down the time before the gage on his screen rises. Is this because he has to build up the thermal heat?
I always assumed it was a countdown to when his thrusters had enough propellant in the combustion chambers from propellant storage, but I could be mistaken.
