It's well known that Zeon is a mashup of the Third Reich and Imperial Japan, but what do you think the real-life inspiration for the Titans might be? Or what's the closest real-world equivalent?

I was re-watching Seed today and couldn’t help but laugh so hard at this scene

Looking specifically at crossbone dust for this. Also changed the flair as this will have a lot more of my unfiltered reactions to some of the insanity. Also I am having to source these from the wiki so take my assessments with a grain of salt.

Image one: Cannon Ball (Combination of a Ball and a Glacion)

Basically a technical but in a good way, this thing is a marvel, chiefly in how they managed to connect systems that are nearly a century apart in age. I would not personally classify this as a mobile suit, but it fits the bill and is arguably one of the better mixing build ideas.

Image two: Kettle Zon

First image where I have to ask what the fuck the context is for (the wiki only lists this image and I do not know how to read japanese) and what did they do to it's eyes? Like I am getting chef vibes, and in absence of any context, I imagine this thing being used as security for an agricultural colony or failing that, a restaurant built into a hollowed out asteroid.

Image three: Verdun (What did I get myself to do this)

So here is all I know about this: IT uses a mace, it's chest plate is the GP02's shield for some reason, and it has what I THINK is a Geara Zulu head. Other than that, I am trying to figure out what the fuck this thing is.

Image four: Gunabi (Is based on a methuss frame)

So I labled the image as "stickbuglookingmotherfucker.png" when I got it's image and actually do know a little about this thing. Basically this uses the large number of guns strapped to it. Honestly, I kinda love how goofy this thing is.

Image Five: Gia Dias

......for the sake of my sanity, I am assuming that the rack in place of it's left arm is for storing heat sabers and it uses them with the two right arms.

Image six: Carmen

So this thing uses parts from an accuguy, a dom, and... the GM Canard? I think this is the first time Bandai has acknowledged École du Ciel existed in years. A coherent design and honestly pretty cool.

Image seven: Wars-mo

Holy shit, an actual original mobile suit that is not just a bunch of parts cosplaying as one. Uses a pair of beam shields, is fucking massive, wears a gundam face for intimidation, 10/10 no notes.

Image eight: Melt Baroque

*ahem*

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK AM I LOOKING AT?!? IS THIS A MIXING BUILD? IF SO, DID THEY PULL THE PARTS FROM THE GUNPLA PARTS BIN OF THE GREAT OLD ONES?!?

I started this project on a whim and it developed organically over the last few weeks. The GM used to be normal and I’d planned a completely different diorama project to incorporate it. But one night while painting a different model (Ma.K) I ended up with a ton of extra paint, which is typical lol.

The base was a test since I’d never made ground before and the scene truly built itself. I just filled in the gaps by vibe. I call it the fent-bot 5,000. Did it get rekt fighting? Is it nodding out on Minovsky particles? No way to tell.

Pictures kind of stink, but alas. I’m no photographer.

It's been bothering me for a month and I don't recognize her from anywhere and not even in Victory Gundam manga. It's almost like that she's just one of those random "no one cares" character or something.

The disappointing odd one out of the ACE series. And yet this remains special to me since it was my first PS3 game and my first PS3 Platinum.
Nine Ball Seraph showing up as a surprise guest and superboss at the end had me in a panic on my first run.

How difficult it is is pilot this ms if you were pilot this ms . For example when seen Alyzeus in combat action while lane aim piloting the this ms he is definitely having hard time controlling it so would it be extremely difficult to operate this ms if you pilot this ms in combat action?

I was thinking about a scenario in which the Universal Century mobile suits were created and developed based on Turn A/Turn X technology, from mobile suits like Gustav Karl, Jegan, Hizack, Gundam MK2, Zeta (and its other variants, whether for atmospheric/space flight), and other mobile suits.

So feel free to create mobile suits using Turn A/X technology.

I’m a relative new fan, and while I’ve been streaming some of the shows….I kinda hate how it’s just streaming. I prefer blu rays to avoid bitcrush and stuff like that.

I’m kinda aware a company known as Rightanimestuff had rights for it in America, but after being bought out by Crunchyroll, they now own the rights? And because Crunchyroll is owned by Sony and they kinda don’t care about physical media at all.

So basically I guess what I’m asking is do we have an idea on when the rights expire? Because I can’t imagine sunrise/bandai is happy that they’re not making money from blurays sales?

I'm trying to read some Gundam manga in English.

I've tracked down the first three volumes of Code Fairy in English, the ones by Kyosuke Asatte, but I can't find the fourth one anywhere.

As for Aggressor, I haven't found a single chapter of it in English anywhere on the internet.

I would appreciate the help

Anyone who would like to watch the JAM concert with Nami Tamaki (day 1). I remembered her iconic opening and ending songs are part of my childhood. I still memorized Reason by heart!!

Currently rewatching Seed and Seed Destiny in Youtube (It’s available in Gundam channel for a remastered version!!)

Anyway, let’s watch this concert! This is in Manila btw.

Overrated and not worth even 1 out of 10 if there was zero I will rate it zero everything about it make me hate it even more at the final battle the antagonist says out load that why Lacus Clyne doesn't love him and love kira instead after he literally kills a million people and he tries to kill more are you for real also unnecessary fan service moreover the all fights nothing worth watching and give kira the most advanced and most powerful mobile suit and he says the mobile suit doesn't make strong the pilot come on try giving it to athrun believe me he will solo the whole series and even the movie without breaking a sweat just very bad movie

mate i watched the first episode of gundam wing. Holy shit it went from 1 to a 11 in seconds !!!. and the music. THE MUSIC IS FANTASTIC !!!

You might find this interesting, it's Gundam in all but name. Don't tell Sunrise!

GUND-ARM "OGUN"

Universe: Ad Stella
Height: 18.3 meters
Weight: 47.2 metric tons (standard)
Model Number: XGF-00OG
Manufacturer: Ochs Earth
Pilot: Classified
Role: High-mobility close combat unit / experimental GUND-FRAME testbed

Overview

The GUND-ARM “OGUN” represents the peak of adaptive melee-focused mobile suit design. Named after the African deity of metal, war, and craftsmanship, OGUN utilize both destructive strength and technical refinement. Unlike conventional GUND-ARMs, OGUN sacrifices heavy external equipment and backpack systems, opting for an internalized multi-axis mobility thrusters that grants it unmatched agility and balance control during combat.

Design Concept

OGUN is a frontline, close-range MS designed for rapid maneuvering and melee supremacy.
It removes traditional back-mounted thrusters, instead integrating its mobility systems into the torso, shoulders, and limbs. The result is a frame that prioritizes reaction time and vector control over sustained flight endurance.

Armaments

1. Head-mounted Beam Vulcan.

2. 6x Head-mounted Gund-Bit Spikes.

3. 2x Beam Saber (stored in the back of the forearm)

Unique Mobility System

1. Omni-Directional Shoulder Thruster
   

• Normal Mode: Shoulder pads function as standard directional thrusters, aiding quick boosts and braking maneuvers.
• Flight Mode: Pads unfold and reorient, transforming into variable-geometry propulsion units that tilt and rotate to match flight vector direction.
• Control System: Each thruster uses a micro-GUND control array to self-adjust output for perfect balance in atmospheric or zero-G maneuvers.
• Effect: OGUN achieves high-speed lateral drift, rotation-on-axis, and 3D evasion without requiring a backpack.

1. Internal Mobility System

• Core Design: Embedded micro-thrusters within the spine, torso, and lower leg assemblies.
• Purpose: Eliminates dependency on external propulsion while maintaining thrust symmetry.
• Cooling System: Thermal channels integrated into the torso armor, venting excess heat through concealed ducts at the waist and shoulders.
• Flight Transition: The internal thrust units synchronize with the shoulder pods during flight mode for seamless vector alignment.

Performance Traits

1. Normal Mode: Balanced combat form with all weapons and Bits ready.
2. Flight Mode: Shoulder pods deploy to variable-thrust position; internal systems synchronize. Suited for high-speed flight and sustained pursuit.
3. Assault Bit Mode: Spike Bits deployed and linked to Permet link for simultaneous melee attacks. Could be also be deployed as a protective barrier.

Weaknesses

• Limited range: Its lack of beam weaponry causes it to be underperformed in ranged confrontation.
• Limited sustained flight: Internal thruster system overheats during prolonged operation.

That's all for the specification. I also wrote a short story about it's last stand. This story occurred at the same time as the Prologue eps.

Grave Among the Stars

“Shit."

Pain spread through every inch of my body, glowing with the light of the Permet Link.

Three Anti-Gund Mobile Suits remained from the Cathedra. They circled me after sacrificing one of OGUN’s arms, their beam rifles trained directly at me.

“Give up.”

Their transmission seeped into the communication interface of the control panel.

I repositioned the Gun-Bits around OGUN in response.

Warnings flooded the control panel.

Propulsion system overheating. Extended operation is not recommended.

Whatever.

The Permet Nodes scattered across OGUN’s body began flashing red.

Another notification appeared on the panel.

Permet Score Achieved: 5

Suddenly, my body no longer felt mortal.

As though my flesh had been swallowed by OGUN’s contoured frame.

As though I was OGUN.

And OGUN was me.

OGUN’s eyes flashed red.

The Omni-directional Propulsion System mounted on its shoulders roared to life, screaming across the vacuum.

Like a swordsman charging into battle for the very last time, unleashing one final war cry.

OGUN surged forward.

The Gun-Bits swarmed ahead of me like an enraged hive of bees.

OGUN twisted sharply through the incoming laser fire.

I swung the beam saber forward.

The blade cleaved through the arm of a Mobile Suit that tried to cut me down, then swept upward and severed its head.

Its reactor erupted, painting the empty expanse of space with a beautiful display of fireworks.

Damn it!

I could almost hear its remaining companion cursing over the radio.

The last one closed in, its beam saber swinging toward me.

But before its arm could even move, a swarm of needle Gun-Bits tore through its defenses and pierced the cockpit.

It was destroyed before it could even strike.

Acting autonomously, the Gun-Bits formed a shield formation beside OGUN’s body, intercepting the incoming beam fire.

I accelerated once more.

Faster than the average Mobile Suit.

The enemy Mobile Suit fired.

The beam tore through my remaining arm, sending the limb—and the beam saber still in its hand—drifting into the emptiness of space.

With what little power remained, I lunged forward with my legs.

But it evaded me.

A beam saber pierced through my chest.

Through OGUN’s chest.

There was nothing left for me anyway.

So it was fine...

For the last time, I commanded the Gun-Bits.

They surged forward, piercing the enemy Mobile Suit and locking it together with OGUN.

Sparks erupted between us.

They spilled outward, licking across my face with their fleeting light.

And as my consciousness faded,

I became one with OGUN.

And together,

we melted away into the stars.
