I mean, we've seen that beam rifle take out a "standard" Ahead in episode 2 even when it wasn't in Trans-Am?

Plot hole?
Anti-beam coating, possibly. If it were just an error or plot hole, it wouldn't be the first time we see inconsistencies between damage taken by mobile suits (and I don't mean just the other AU shows either).

Maybe it wasn't even a direct hit (despite what the angle shows), given that more or less everything else was intact but that burning hole there. It still had its drive intact. All things considering, if you see it as an inconsistency, it's a minor one anyways.

The 1980s Houston Astros uniform look is just as nasty now as it was then, and the location of that one machine gun doesn't help much either.

It also seems that there was more to the Trilobyte than what we saw before it was blown away. Maybe we'll see more later in the show make use of this ability, whatever it is.

I personally think that the ugly Varations "Rail" Tieren is a poor/early attempt at an Elevator Guard (what else has tracks that run vertically?)... And I'm not going to say was I think /m/ will say.

As for the Gadessa's new weapon, it looks to be a cross between Seravee's GN Rifles (the three barrel shapes) and a GN-XIII Lance (three small barrels for millatreuse? style firing)... And I wonder; is that a would-be rotating GN Condenser on it as well (too similar to the revolving barrels of the Atmospheric Carrier guns and the Virtue's Bazooka; making it yet another BFG)?

That Tieren looks like a grotesque bastard robot that may very well pass as a Metal Slug boss.

And that's a merit in my book ♥

And no feet either. I suppose it's possible.

Looks like the light purple haired one pilots the Gadessa.

an interesting design but the crotch gun? Seriously? No innuendo there..... anyway, what kind of rifle is that? it looks kind alike it'd be a GN weapon but there's no mention of a GN anything that I saw in the little blurb about it (meaning I didn't see the letters GN in it, no clue what the rest said)

Going by the DATA box, I think it's the same 30mm machine gun we've seen on some of the other Tieren types. The crotch gun seems to be an anti-personnel weapon.

Also ED = Elevator Defense?

Could Arche have a core fighter, or possibly even be transformable? The upper torso is ridiculously bare even by Throne standards - it's literally just the drive and main condenser, with the chest point-and-vents assembly slapped on to give the head something to attach to. Despite appearances, the shoulders aren't even connected to that - they go through it, but connect directly to the drive/condenser assembly (look at the back view). The thing on its back looks really suggestive as well. If you ignore everything below the cockpit, the design screams "I TRANSFORM INTO A PLANE" louder than any MS design I've ever seen.

I find that naming the A-LAWS floating carrier "Ground Carrier" seems a bit misleading. At the very least, I would've thought "Atmospheric Carrier", since it floats, not scales/treads/hovercrafts near/on the ground.

Oh Really??? But yes, I also think it will transform. As has been pointed out before, Arche looks like a lanky Drei-colored Zwei with some Eins Turbulenz equipment (if you squint).

is it just me or does the core part of the gadessa's gun look like it's one of the cannons off of the GN Arms?

I think it might get some kind of add on wing set later.

The wings on Turblenez(which is kinda close in design to Arche) are some sorta add-on backpack according to this...the same kind of thing might happen to Arche

In an unrelated note, here's hoping Rivalz get's a revived version of Alvaaron

The bumps on the thrusters are actually "GN Short Beam Cannons", or something.
Don't know if posting heads and parts will make much of a difference; but there it is for those that like to add the little footnote details to the mecha description.

You know, after staring at the BESPA mobile suits from Victory, and nearly puking my brains out over the CE designs, especially the Destiny ones, this Tieren comes across as sexy to me. :P

I'd love to know what all this text says. Since nobody has mentioned it yet, does the bit about Nena's ship (I get "Riian" from Google Translator and Babelfish, for what little it's worth) say anything to hint that it might be more than just a shuttle/scout craft (ie core fighter for a new Throne)?

And who came up with calling a flying carrier a "ground battleship"? :lol:

I'm sure it's called a "ground battleship" opposed to a "space battleship" or a "wet battleship". The GB can actually travel over the ground while within atmosphere, instead of being limited to water or vacuum, hence "ground". It's still weird, though.

Sounds like they're going for binary numbering :lol:
Until other units are revealed anyway.

About the O-Raizer,I wonder how it's going to be useful for 00. It's like the huge Buster Sword, not going to see much action unless it can be more actively and flexibly swung around.
I can't see the pair just rushing straight for a mothership to stick the blades into, given the size. And I certainly hope it's not going to lower itself to do a 'whirlwind-blade' cutting action.

Another thing - the GN Archer at the bottom corner. Details.
Looks like there's a lot more to it than just an attachment. Heck, it looks like a whole body with legs and shoulders.
The skirt armor-like end of the O-Raizer is starting to look more purposeful.


Think there's really more to gattai than just mere support vehicles.

I still say Drei is in that thing.
