Re: Zaku The Origin

Out of curiosity, how many YMS-03 units are the Y-02 team using for their training? Perhaps the issue could be the high cost of the Bugu, which makes producing multiple units for combat training undesirable/unfeasible and thus the YMS-03 provides a more economical alternative. Perhaps another way t...

Re: A Few Questions On The Dolos Class

Let's not forget that in the original TV series, the earliest glimpse we get of the Dolos is at Granada, from where it takes off towards A Baoa Qu. This do would suggest that it accommodates it's MS vertically in order to operate while under the influence of gravity. Although, this does make me won...

Re: EFSF Reserve Fleets

Re: EFSF Reserve Fleets

That was probably Luna II's role after the OYW because it seems to never again be a strategically important base. Maybe the Galbaldy-β were refitted from their Zeon origins as "new" machines once taken out of the Luna II boneyard. the Galbaldy-β was apparently manufactured there as Luna I...

Re: The Musai's Anti-Air Missile Launchers

The running theory on the late war Musai reducing the turrets to two from three was due to the Adoption of the Rick Dom as the Replacement Space use MS because of it's larger frame the Hangers needed to be expanded on later models to fit the new larger ms being used.

I'm trying, but I don't think I can recall any occasion on which a Zaku destroyed a GM in the animation.

ironically one of the two -01 units of the RCX-76 Guncannon was basically an early prototype for the later RX-78 style ms the RCX-76-01A Guncannon Mobility Test Type seemed to to be an test of an more general use MS While the RCX-76-01B Guncannon Firepower Test Type was basically an literal Walking ...

Re: question about various parts attached on Nouvel GM III

Do you think the attachment on the knees might be similar to the ones of the Powreed GM from 0083. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that the Powered GM upgrade was essentially meant to allow a GM C to have ground performance similar to the GP01 as a means to gather data for t...

Re: Neo Zeon MS use by EFSF? (Also, Hyaku Shiki question)

That's correct: both captured Zeon MS and RX units equipped with mono-eye sensors would be modified to give them a more traditional visor or Gundam eyes, as in the case of the Silver Bullet and Byarlant Custom. And as already pointed out, the Nemo was also adopted due to it's GM-like appearance des...

Re: Neo Zeon MS use by EFSF? (Also, Hyaku Shiki question)

Actually, the GM III is probably the mainstay EF MS produced in lowest quantities. According to one of Mark's thread, one of the few figures given for it comes form B-CLUB issue 70, which claims that the total production run of the RGM-86R GM III as roughly 800 units, while that of the RGM-89 Jegan...

Re: New AOZ Re-Boot MS: Gaza A and AMX-008M GaZowmn Marine T

Wasn't the drum frame the one used by the Asshimar? Likewise, the Gaza series was said to use a movable block or block buildup construction. Is it safe to assume that this means that the Gaza series uses both concepts, or could this mean that the movable block/block buildup is an improvement over t...
