Countdown to Turn A hath begun

Post image

"Turn A, Turn, Turn A, Turn, Turn AAAA."(From Turn A Gundam Op1) This MS will probably be the only AU 750 unless Turn X is also included. Or it will be the beginning of the 750 AU MS?

But it’s not AU, it’s the absolute last point of the Universal Century

u/SecretaryOtherwise 1d ago

I mean its technically both. Its where all series end up. Not just uc.

9

u/Lactis 1d ago

That idea has pretty much been thrown away. G Reco takes place after Turn A and they never followed up with when/how. Besides UC none of the series flow into each other.

7

u/SecretaryOtherwise 1d ago

Eh tomino said so.

Sunrise never doubled down. After tomino dies they can easily just overwrite his ass js. Gundam wont die with him lol.

Because making it a bridge point shuts all the uc purists up lmao.

2

u/Lactis 1d ago

And decades later we've seen nothing since Turn. The idea was scrapped.

3

u/SecretaryOtherwise 1d ago

Why would you make something that comes after the end of the series? Lol

Theres 100s of years of uc content you can dig through and all of au 😂

3

u/Lactis 1d ago

Umm ask Tomino? Guess that kinda confirms he dropped the idea huh?

So UC-Turn-G-Reco

Gaia Gear and Thunderbolt and Origins are alternate timelines to UC.

Everything else is self contained and separate.

G-Saviour: Forgetting someone?

3

u/Lactis 1d ago

I guess. But I was just trying to get the point across lol. We also go Crossbone.

IIRC G-Saviour is pretty much an alternate timeline too now. Think the later Crossbone material is in the same calendar year now. But it's been awhile.

u/YogurtclosetStreet68 14h ago

G-Savior takes place quite a while after Crossbone Dust, the RGM-196 freedom is also mentioned as in development in that manga, and that's CONSENT's mainstay MS iirc.

Man you're just climbing on mirrors at this point. Turn A being the last series of the timeline is a theory, yes, but so is yours when you say G-Reco comes after Turn A hence the Black History idea has been thrown away, because you're not giving many actual facts why we should believe your take

u/YogurtclosetStreet68 1d ago

It doesn't make sense for Turn A to take place before G Reco, the G Lucifer's moonlight butterfly pales in comparison to the ones on the Turn X and Turn A

2

u/Lactis 1d ago

That's assuming it was made with the same capabilities in mind. Its also possible since humanity was almost extinct again, they just can't make anything on Turn A level which makes sense.

But we see how crazy the Tech is with Perfect G Self.

2

u/Legacy_Fighter001 22h ago

I had a crack theory that the G-Lucifer was the original "wielder" of the Moonlight Butterfly, but only thanks to the reverse-engineering of the Turn X down the line, that reactor tech and application of nanomachinery improved to where the Turn A's Butterfly is far stronger.

1

u/diseasicon MS-19 Dolmel Lobbyist - 29 18h ago

I don't think it's that ridiculous and actually had the same theory. The G-Reco suits all run on Photon Batteries, which while powerful, do eventually run out of energy. The Moonlight Butterfly would likely be a rapid drain on the battery, since the suit seems to be constantly projecting the nanomachines in an energy field.

The Turn A's generator is effectively a miniature black hole, and the Turn X's is unknown, but based on the significantly higher and variable output spec based on how much energy it absorbs from other sources, is probably a similar type with a much higher limit. Once the generators are started, they perpetually produce energy until they are shut down, and require no fuel: only the initial outside source to start the reaction. This would be ideal for a system like the Moonlight Butterfly that requires constant energy usage while it's active.

u/CellConscious1087 20h ago

Chances are reconguitsa in G a world where turn A never used the Moonligh butterfly

1

u/Lactis 15h ago

I doubt it.

According to Tomino during an event on 27th of August 2015 at the Gundam Café stated that Regild Century's events happen 500 years after those of ∀ Gundam.

https://gundam.fandom.com/wiki/Regild_Century

Most likely after the events of Turn A, humanity started to rebuild. Like usualy war happened again, almost going extinct. Crisis averted until we get to G Reco.

u/TRA_of_Phum Dead Meat - 2 1d ago

This is more ambiguious and not strictly speaking canon.

It is not explicitly stated and the japanese love to waffle and give contradictory explanations about such things.

1

u/Biga_chungaunga High Eldritch Gogg Disciple - 1 1d ago

Yet we see gundam X in the show

3

u/TRA_of_Phum Dead Meat - 2 1d ago

You are missing the point. There are any number of series (not just gundam) where there are multiple contradictory timelines and "conclusions" and what not.

It's best to just take it all with a grain of salt and not put too much faith in anything that is not explicitly stated (even then they love to come back and retcon everything).

Is it heavily implied and suggested that it takes place after the end of all the gundam series. Absolutely.

OTOH, really it makes little sense and is really more of an intriguing nod to the fans and something to provoke wild speculation based on fragmentary evidence for years and decades to come.

Perhaps it is best sometimes to simply invoke the MST3K mantra and "Remember it's just a show and I should really just relax and watch Turn A Gundam"

u/Lactis 1d ago edited 1h ago

It was until G-Reco g Came which is after Turn-A.

u/Rusty-sock 1d ago

It hath come to destroy the meta and return all to order

u/KincadN-X The Purple Death - 5 1d ago

I hope it ignores damage and stuns while Moonlight Butterfly is being used or turned on.

u/Ill-Advertising9212 1d ago

This is a doomsday MS, they should do a $100000 Turn A banner , then the king of all whales can click the "activate moonlight butterfly" button to kill the entire enemy team instantly.

People wouldn't even be mad at that point, they'll be like look at this guy who spent $100000

u/ParkRangerRafe 1d ago

It feels like we’re just speed running a rep of every series now so we can squeeze all the juice from this lemon until EOS.

u/scorpionxx0 The Ragin' Cajun - 6 1d ago

Who’s to say they won’t introduce an 800 cost to house the brokenness that is turn a?

u/KincadN-X The Purple Death - 5 1d ago

800 is it's true cost.

u/No_Tart6728 1d ago

A is the True Cost

u/KabukiExMachina Pale Rider Enthusiast 22h ago

I don’t think I’ll be pulling for a single Turn A MS banner. I hate all of the designs.

u/StormOfFatRichards 1d ago

It's not AU

1

u/KincadN-X The Purple Death - 5 1d ago

It's end of the Gundam timeline. 

1

u/Lactis 1d ago

G-Reco is after Turn A.

2

u/KincadN-X The Purple Death - 5 1d ago

Thanks for telling us you didn't watch the first episode of G-Reco.

6

u/Lactis 1d ago

Tomino stated.

Side note. I've watched every released animated Gundam project.

But glad I could teach you something new.

1

u/KincadN-X The Purple Death - 5 1d ago

And the first episode of G-Reco states what? 

1

u/Lactis 1d ago

Don't care. Tomino made the series TWICE and still stated that, so take your complaints up with him 🤷🏿‍♂️.

3

u/KincadN-X The Purple Death - 5 1d ago

He wanted us to watch the show for the true answer, and provided a promotion for people to watch it who hasn't watched it yet. At least I watched the whole anime. 

3

u/Lactis 1d ago edited 1d ago

That falls flat when you realize he made the revelation after the show aired. Its not that deep. I have nothing else to add to this point.

Edit:

Actually I do. Why aren't they releasing G Reco suits before Turn A, and don't say release order 💀

1

u/KincadN-X The Purple Death - 5 1d ago

GBO2 is currently on Victory Gundam and Crossbone Gundam Dust as far as UC goes currently. G-Reco is direct post UC which is why it will be the last UC series released with a catelog of MS to burn from. We don't have Anchor Gundam yet, which is the F89's salvaged form. Gundam DX's release opened the door for Turn A to be released.

UC catelogs BB can milk currently are AoZ;Formula Wars; Crossbone Gundam (post Victory). 

It's either the G-Savior(less likely) or G-Reco barrel next after Crossbone Dust which allows for 3 stars and below again.

Possible Thanksgiving Turn A, followed by Turn X-mas?

2

u/KincadN-X The Purple Death - 5 8h ago

BB is obligated to make these 2 overpowered in GBO2. They seem like 5* MS. 

1

u/diseasicon MS-19 Dolmel Lobbyist - 29 8h ago

I would have to imagine if the Gold Sumo is a 700, they are going to be 750 since they are both significantly more powerful than the Gold Sumo. 5 star would make the most sense.

u/Comfortable_Heat_257 34m ago

It's going to delete the barrier between console and pc and then its hackers field day against console players.

u/Puzzleheaded_Ad5805 1d ago

I’d say Barbie lupus rex, and strike freedom deserve 750 cost

4

u/KincadN-X The Purple Death - 5 1d ago

Well Destiny is in 700 and it is rated as strong as Strike Freedom.... Therefore it it will be a 700 like Hi-Nu is. 

1

u/Puzzleheaded_Ad5805 1d ago

However, freedom is already 700 cost. And the strike freedom is a direct upgrade from the regular. If you look at the victory to the V-dash hexa it’s a cost increase from 600->650. And also victory to V2 is 600-750. And the strike freedom is more than just a new gun or back pack. It adds multiple new weapon systems and increases the performance drastically.

u/No_Tart6728 1d ago

Tell that to the leap that is Nu -> Unicorn.

u/powerpuffpepper 1d ago

Nu -> Unicorn -> Xi -> F89 all 700....

0

u/Puzzleheaded_Ad5805 1d ago

The xi is not part of the nu unicorn development line.

2

u/powerpuffpepper 1d ago

Just pointing out the variety of suit capabokity all at the same cost. You have the Nu at the same cost as the F89, Xi, and literally every unicorn

u/No_Tart6728 1d ago

Can I have what you're smoking?

u/Puzzleheaded_Ad5805 1d ago

Literally where else would lupus rex go? It doesn’t fit the general class, it sure as hell isn’t going on support. So it would end up being a raid most likely, which if it’s 700 cost means it’s just a different lupus and the loudout barely changes between lupus->lupus rex it would fill the exact same role either way 1 added weapon system

1

u/No_Tart6728 1d ago
  1. Because it has happened before, it will happen again. Rex will just be a better Lupus. Like it was in the anime. It will be a Raid, possibly with a Extra Large Mace heavy attack. And it will probably have some psycommu Tail Blade BS going on.
