The Gundam 00 official site has updated with more mecha profiles.
hmmm it would be nice to display that next to my 1/400 minerva, the other whaleship of gundam
anyone besides me think that the shoulder cannons of virtue turned hand cannons for nadleeh seem just a lil too clunky for that very slimmed down ms? i get a astray red frame (or the astray RF's gf) vibe from it for some reason so it seems like it would be more at home wielding a sword.

Interesting observation: Taozi outmaneuvered Virtue like whoa this episode, despite being roughly twice as massive. (I don't have the actual specs on me, but Taozi is like 115 tons while Virtue is only 65 or so, IIRC) I can't help but wonder what sort of jets that thing HAS.

Ah, so the Nadleeh doesn't ditch the beam sabers when it purges its armor. In the original model photos it looked like they might be stored in the knee armor, rather than the actual knee.
positioning the gn sabers that way makes for a cool deployment pose legs curled up grabbing sabers then going spread eagle holding the sabers in a reverse (stabbing) position rather than a forward (parry) position

Although, with a quick glance, I believe the sonic blade/defense rod/20mm machinegun/missiles segments are word for word the same as the basic Flag booklet's. The bio for the unit seems to c/p a lot from the bio on the official site, as well.

as awesome as the flag looks on ms form i cant help but be turned off by its aircraft form. and its not just the flying fists of fury either the whole thing just looks too unaerodynamic, like an F-117 nighthawk after too much roids doing crack at the same time

To be expected, since most of its weapons are hardly any different from the normal flag. The only thing of note I'd say would be the Iris Company's Linear Gun, though I can't read it From the manual illustrations though, it seems the Custom Flag has a high-speed mode, as shown by its swept wings and its arms folding back.
Maybe these bits on the 1/100 Dynames would have more additional info:

Yes i must agree, it does look un-aerodynamic, very bulky aswell, but unlike the F-117 it doesn't have a computer controlling the flying. THE FLAG NEEDS A HARO!

Quite the unsupported statement, considering that it is always assumed all MS are controlled by fly-by-wire unless stated otherwise (you wouldn't seriously control a mobile suit through wires stretching all the way to the arms and legs would you?), especially for machines 300 years more advanced than anything we have. We can safely assume that the Flag has a flight computer stabilizing its unstable configuration in flight.
ah thats just nightwing, for him everything could use a haro. if acguy=love then haro=harmony
so during this time (00) in AD, r they saying that fossil fuels are completely spent, ie nothing left in the ground or just extremely rare at this point that the price for gas is like i dunno $110.00 a gallon?

I believe Marina (or her evil version of Smithers) stated that fossil fuel production had been restricted, though I think the early opening narration by Amuro claimed fossil fuels were exhausted. Given that even poor insurgents in what used to be third-world places like Ceylon are using fossil-fuel powered mobile suits (the Amf), I don't think the cost of fossil fuels can be prohibitively high. If the Big Three superpowers have switched to solar power (perhaps supplemented by fission?) for everything under, er, the sun, then what limited fossil fuels are being produced would have a vastly reduced market, possibly keeping the price relatively low.
