I had to laugh after I read this list, because when I read the announcements, the first two MS I checked for new lineart, Gelgoog and Gyan, didn't get any.

D'oh! I forgot to scan those D:!

The cockpit lineart link for the ZakuII/Gouf is broken. 404 error.

Here's a small, one pic update... :S

Le Cygne update
Weapons #1
Weapons #2
Weapons #3

Beam saber x 2
Gattling gun x 2 (?) [Note says 'right shoulder' and 'empty shells come out from behind' I think D:]
Shield x 1
Beam rifle x 1

Scanned from the 8th Volume of Ecole du Ciel.

Instead of creating another thread, I'll just utilize this from now on for 'other' lineart submissions and whatnot. I IM'd this to Chris earlier, but I figured that I'd share it with everyone.

RGM-79FP GM Striker

I don't think that's the final version. It looks like the November hobby magazines have new lineart with some minor design changes (particularly to the twin beam spear) and a different color scheme that matches the pictures we've seen from the video games and model kit ads. It's probably best to wait for the final lineart.

On the other hand, it looks like specs have already been published for the Zaku I Sniper Type and the GM Striker. I can type these up if Chris doesn't have them yet.

I was discussing this earlier with Deacon. There's some other lineart floating around, and the in-game pics plus HGUC ad show a version with more armor and different color feet. As for the Zaku I Sniper specs, I don't have them, so they'd be greatly appreciated.

PSN: amuromsz006

Here you go. These are as per the "Game's MSV" column in the October issue of Gundam Ace.

Overall height: 17.5 meters
Base weight: 67.9 tons
Generator output: 899 kW (+700 kW)
Total thuster output: 8400 kg
Armor materials: super hard steel alloy
Armament: head vulcans, heat hawk, beam sniper rifle

The extra generator output, obviously, is provided by the backpack (which also seems to be extremely heavy). Not sure what to make of the thruster output - this is either a typo, or one of those unusually low thrust totals you used to see in some of the ZZ specs.

And here are specs for the GM Striker. I saw these on a page scanned from one of the November hobby magazines, which also has final line art for this machine. (Even though it's a small, fuzzy scan, I can see a lot of differences from the earlier version - the twin beam spear is redesigned, the crotch and knee armor is completely different, there are no armor plates on the thighs, et cetera.)

Overall height: 18.0 meters
Base weight: 50.2 tons
Generator output: 1250 kW
Total thuster output: 92,000 kg
Armor materials: titanium-ceramic composite

-- Mark

Perhaps the low thruster count comes from having its normal backpack replaced with the energy tank, which has a few thrusters put on so it's not totally floundering.

And if it's used as a purely land-based mobile suit (and one that's going to avoid close combat at all costs, given its role), the Zaku I Sniper doesn't really need a lot of thrusters.

It could just be me but the GM Striker looks alot like the RGM-79RGS GM S-armor.

I think both the GM Striker and the GM S-Armor are based on two old Okawara designs, the Desert GM and Land Combat GM. They both combine elements of the older designs in different ways.

It is good you know to them Mechas Unicorn series?

I'm still tossing up the lineart edit for Unicorn, but in the meantime, here is the Ecole MS. The suit, from what I can remember based on my French, means "Gemini".

Note: the novel seems to indicate that the model number of the "Unicorn" is RX-0. :S That, and a Gera Doga also appears. XD

A small lineart offering here today... I present the mobile armor mode and a color version of the Elisia Nocton version Gaplant from Ecole du Ciel.

I have pictures of the NZ-666 Kshatriya, I can put them?

Here are a couple updates from the wonderful and whacktacular world of Gundam Unicorn. So far this is meshing well with the overall scheme of things as far as Gundam is concerned, but some of these names are really killer.

Todays feature will introduce some of the ships that each of the factions have.
