Known MSV-R so far

Given that those designs are animated and these are not, I seriously doubt it; Bandai's position regarding the official nature of design seems to indicate that the animation trumps everything else.

I'm loling. Should I tweet Okawara and say "Please stop. You're killing Gundam."

MSM-06 Julich/Jurlique

maybe this is some kind of backlash against Zeon fanboys.

"okay fanboys, you guys like the Gundam Nazis, let's see how much Zeonic pride you got when you see them piloting this"

I'm sorry, I think there's only one word that can be used to describe that MS. And that word is "derp".

I have feeling that Bandai is toying with us, it remind me of Kamen Rider Fourze (must be cause of its head). What else can say? Several MPC around abdomen, short legs with arms that can reach ground...I say its purpose is to look "fitting" when you put a model kit next to Juagg.

I found some a couple more images for the MSM-06:

Also, I think I found Okawara's inspiration for this design, just take a look at the MS at the top left corner of this image:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v287/ ... SM-06c.jpg

Some might remember these designs from some the images that Revil showed to the White Base's crew at Belfast. They are supposedly unconfirmed new Zeon models:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v287/ ... astMSd.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v287/ ... astMSe.jpg

So, my main question would be: do you think that in the future Okawara will resort again to these "drawings" when he runs out of ideas for new MSV-R units?

Black Knight · Tue Oct 25, 2011 1:36 am

Well, I think that's exactly the sort of tie-in which gives the MSV-R lineup some credibility. I'd much prefer things like this to endless variants of existing designs. If the likes of Katoki are going to raid Okawara's M-MSV series to find inspiration for From the Place Beyond the Blaze, then I'm not about to criticize Okawara from updating one of his own unused MSG designs for MSV-R.

toysdream · Tue Oct 25, 2011 1:59 am

My first thought when I saw that, um, thing was that Okawara must have revived one of those onscreen blueprints. But I really don't think so; that design in the top left looks more like a rough draft of the Gogg, and the only feature it has in common with the MSM-06 is the ring of belly cannons. Otherwise, this doesn't really look like any of the designs that were depicted in the TV series.

Those unknown Belfast MS have been used in various doujin atwork circulated on 2chan robo. It looks like this MSV-R MSM-06 is a mix of the egg shaped one on the top left hand corner and the one on the bottom right hand corner.

flamingtroll · Tue Oct 25, 2011 2:09 pm

I personallly think this is more of a OYW version of the ZnO

toysdream · Tue Oct 25, 2011 2:15 pm

Yeah, I agree. Aside from the ring of belly guns in the "proto-Gogg" at the top left corner, none of the "Belfast MS" resemble the MSM-06 at all. Instead, it looks more like the amphibious machines from Gundam Seed, such as the ZnO and the GINN FEMWS.

This looks to be another attempt to recycle zaku II parts in to an msm unit. it has the simple cruising mode transformation that the 0080 MSM units have by pulling the arms and legs in to the body.

Most probably, the ultimate basis for the "new" MSM-06 is the Gogg early design stage linked below:

The last two images show the results of the contest launched on Gundam Ace July 2011 issue: the readers were asked to propose names, profiles, personal emblems, team names and piloted MS for the two portrayed characters. The winners "decided" that the EFF character is named Oscar Seagrid, a GM Cannon pilot of the "Kawasuzume" (I think it's intended to mean something like "river sparrow") team, whereas the Zeon pilot is called Leonie Bernard (his rank si chuui), belongs to the Raven Strike team and uses black colored units of MS-18E, MS-09 and MSM-03.

Concerning the Cima's MS-06R photo, it's a model originally featured in the February 2011 issue of Dengeki Hobby Magazine, where it's indicated as MS-06RS-4 Zaku II (Cima Garahau custom).
It's presented now on the page of the latest Gundam Ace to "advertise" a new MSV-R contest: this time the Gundam Ace and Dengeki Hobby Magazine readers are asked to build a gunpla representing an original MS variation (customized coloring, modified parts and so on)...

As for the info available with the better/new scans of previous MSV-R installments, well, there's quite a lot of it: I think it will need time to have a complete translation, so please be patient

I know this 'Goog Cannon picture well, it is the box illustration for the 1/60 model, which glares down over the PC station at home. (Moved up there to protect it from the prowling nyanko.

) The picture depicts a space battle, so could we infer that it is supposed to reference Operation Chimera?

Shadowcell: Our Zeonic pride has withstood worse-looking designs than the MSM-06. Some of them were even animated!

Dendrobium Stamen · Wed Nov 09, 2011 3:38 pm

Okay, I apologise in advance, but the caption on this image kindly uploaded by Calubin just makes me think of the Chimera Corps' pilots exclaiming "Good Lord! We're attacking some people?! Blimey!"...

Ah yes, the joys of Japlish.

Given the way the attack turned out, the "surprised' ought to refer to the EFSF force, which got seriously trashed.

better picture, and shows the current colorscheme. This one is from gundam Kizuna. Quite a fast and nimble unit, but not really tough, but you get beam magnum, shield gun or some kinda bazooka.

Huh... this month we have the Salamis! Nelson-class Light MS Carrier. I can scan if you'd like
