He fired some missiles off. It happens very quickly but you see the smoke trail. Watch it again.

More like he gave them a peep talk. The salute was out of respect for what Kira just said. Athrun had his ass handed to him by Kira. What can he do? Unfortunately, on the other end, Shinn's arrogance is raising. Path to the dark side, that is. Athrun just wasn't all there so it's no wonder Kira played surgeon with Saviour. I counted 3 of 12 Murasames that were still good....from the waist up. Every other one was missing heads, arms or other parts. Archangel probably doesn't have the resources to bring them all back up. They only have enough parts for Andy's Murasame. Destiny is suppose to be the most powerful MS there. S-Freedom and I-Justice are "trump cards" for ending the war on both sides.

It's not for us to decide what stays and what gets cut. The scene was probably redundant so I don't see why it should not have been cut. It's the way film works.

Someone posted the shot of the 1/144 Strike Freedom box art on AS. ZGMF-X20A Strike Freedom. Whether or not that sticks......So I guess Lacus helps herself to some Gundams.....either that or underestimated the pink princess we have.

Coffee? Check. Only got 4 hours of sleep. *downs coffee* Forgot about those.... ROFLMAO Sorry, lack of sleep... After pondering and rethinking this on the way home yesterday, I was wondering, did the creators note what they meant by "cartridge-less gatling gun pods"? Was it case-less ammunition or was it no removable magazine? Thanks. Perhaps they were slighty drunk when they wrote it? I think I said something similar to that....perhaps it was on the old board...

A) As stated, the SV-51 uses an active stealth system. Radar lock was not possible. Why not a Sidewinder? Who knows. Maybe he knew a heat-seeker won't be as effective. B) Production-wise, perhaps Kawamori likes the side-stick controller. Story-wise. No clue. Perhaps they though the side-stick/throttle/mode-select/battroid controller system was better than having 4 sticks plus various throttles, levers, etc. C) that is from Episode 5. It might have been one of the scenes that was cut out of the final release.

"Two Stonewell/Roice B-7 standard internal pallets" From VF-22S entry: "Three standard internal pallets. Micro-missile launchers with four exit ports on the forward dorsal section to the sides of the engine nacelles. Micro-missile launchers with four exit ports on the ventral fuselage to the rear of the engine nacelles in Fighter mode or on leg storage bay cover panels in GERWALK and Battroid modes. Exclusive internal pallet(s)." The VF-22 is a bigger, heavier bird that can carry more based off its given stats. The part you quoted is where I pointed out the YF-19's are listed as that the VF-19's are listed as Little Rock launch systems and described as pallets. If they're using standardized pallets and the VF-19 is carrying two, while the VF-22 is carrying three plus a micro-missile system with its own exclusive pallets whose the more well rounded? From what I can decrypt all the VF-19 has over the VF-22S stat wise is its more powerful engines and lower mass. Maneuverability can't really be taken from them and what I do know would indicate it's close enough pilot skill is the deciding factor instead of the machine under them. The quoted internal pallets for the 19 are listed for the YF-19. Not the VF-19. So you're comparing a prototype to a production version? I thought this was comparing the VF-19 to the VF-22. The 3 internal pallets for the VF-22 might refer to the internal bays for the 2 gunpods and the one bomb-bay. The "Exclusive internal pallet(s)" might refer to the storage of the micro-missiles. Either that or those pallets are quite small..... It's 1000 kg heavier because the legs are seperate from the engines. The legs on a VF-19 are the engines. It needs room to store the legs in there, hence it's bigger.

With a little filing work...yes. No, the VF-4 does not come standard with a gunpod. Although, I won't be surprised if it borrowed a VF-1's gunpod. They're just messin with you.

Minerva still might have it better since they have a larger crew. More people, more resources spent to keep everybody happy. But then we come to a quality vs. quantity issue. With Archangel, since they've had a small crew and been in some tight spots where support was zero, so they are probably better at resource allocation than Minerva, whose never had to worry about supply problems. So Archangel can do a lot less stop and go unlike Minerva. Of course, that might mean Archangel would get less quantity support, but it might mean that you get more quality support. But this is Archangel we're talking about. With the stuff they've been through, they probably are pretty darn efficient. They could probably make a loaf of bread last more than 2 weeks without it growing mold....

But those fighters aren't just designed for space use. Well apparently it was good enough to make it to production.... So that rating must be off.... True. But, that still doesn't excuse it from being included especially if it is suppose to be a standard issue and yet not show up throughout most of the testing.

That might be due to the fact that Minerva is not as automated as Archangel. Archangel never seems to have a crew larger than 50 people (heck there are probably only 20-some ppl on Archangel in Destiny). Minerva feels like there are at least 75-100 people on that ship.

Using animation alone doesn't really help. David would probably be the best source for comparison but that would be for fighter-mode. Also you're jumping around with the YF-VF notations. The prototypes don't quite use the same systems as the prototypes. Please don't mix them as it does get confusing. I imagine with the forward-swept wings and carnards, the VF-19 series would be much better at manueverability than the conventional VF-22 series. Even though the VF-22 has 3-D thrust vectoring, you are really relying on that system to move you around fast (which is not as good as an inherit design IMO). Again, I will point out that in M+, the YF-21 was flying without gunpods loaded during many tests flights. The YF-19 was flying with it's gunpod during most tests. This makes me wonder about the weight of the YF-21. A few other things to consider is a VF-19 uses a mission-variable missile system. where as the VF-22 uses a fixed missile system supplemented by another set of hardpoints. This reduces what you can use the fighter for. In a sense, this does make the VF-19 a more well-rounded fighter. As much as I like the VF-22, there are times where a VF-19 looks like a much better fighter. On paper that is (which completely disregards piloting as every pilot is different and can really mess with comparisons).

Depends on the VF. Depends on the circumstances. In some instances, the gunpod will detach and the arm catches it. In some, the gunpod will move into position to be received by the hand. In some, the gunpod can be manually ejected. But this happens in a blink of the eye so it's hard to tell what goes on.

Here's the full translations from Bonbon (spoilers highlight to read) Obviously more will happen than said. As I said earlier, we'll have to wait for the upcoming issues of Newtype and Gundam Ace to find out more.

http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=33169 Bonbon Magazine has previews for ep. 30-34. Spoilers, highlight to read: It doesn't say whether it will be a talking or action episode. Guess we'll have to wait for Newtype or Gundam Ace for more details.

White Dingos was the group you played in.....*digs through files in brain* MS Gundam Side Story:0079 Rise from the Ashes for DC.

I also have my increasing doubts since someone over at Seed Forums brought up a point about the ZAKU entry. In rebuttal: I'm inclined to agree that the entry for the ZAKU Warrior doesn't sound right. And just to add more, Heine's ZAKU Phantom came with a Blaze pack. We saw a purple ZAKU Phantom with a Blaze pack. So this entry does confuse things since we have rarely seen a ZAKU without a Wizard pack. The only other time we have seen a ZAKU without a pack is when Rey and Luna fought Auel underwater, where the packs are quite useless. There may be some truth in them but until we actually find a source, this should go into the rumor pile.

Don't fall into the same trap that Seed Forums and Animesuki did. These are unconfirmed and rumors from various boards. Also, names change like Strike Freedom and Infinite Justice. This was actual posted in the morning but since there's no source, we can't confirm it (there are also specs on the weapons in that thread but there's no source), which is why I didn't post it this morning. If they are true, Looks like we get a Destroy Mk. II cuz Stellar's was GFAS-X1, this one is GFAS-X1S. Infinite Justice could be piloted by Neo, but that's because one of the magazines mentioned there was no pilot listed for IJ, implying Athrun might not pilot IJ. Also, if Neo is piloting I-Justice, does he give Kira S-Freedom? Stealing all these Gundams is kinda ridiculous...

Anyways, the scene in the Special editions on Yavin filled enough to let you know that Biggs and Luke knew each other beforehand.

http://www.janet.org/janet_little_tokyo/ja_little_tokyo.html Most places were mentioned but there are also lots of little shops and resturants in the Little Tokyo/Japantown area. There are also a few dozen indoor shops which you can browse. They don't have many hobby/toy shops in the area (or I wasn't looking) but there are lots of bookstores and media (audio/video) shops for your anime needs. I'd suggest getting it online then go to the car rental agencies out of the airport. Sometimes, you can get a cheaper price online than right there.

So you don't hurt anybody with the tip of the blade. It's like a fencing tip. You don't need it but you don't want to poke anybody with it. $200-300/saber, minus shipping. Hilts come with blade color of your choice.

Rey? I don't think so. I think with Rey, it seemed more of a mental trama. As far as we know, Rey is not under any medication so there's no drug problems. He seems to be physically fit and the situation wasn't physically stressful like a battle situation (and he's been in tight spots so he doesn't seem to suffer. So with Rey, I'm thinking mental trama. That may be from his "imprisonment". I don't think PLANT/ZAFT had much to do with it. I think this was all Le Creuset. As a geneticist, Dullindal had access to lots of stuff. Who knows what those 2 might have done. I bring that up because Talia came to Dullindal to help her have a baby. The question is "why". Some people on Animesuki's forums brought up the Coordinator birthrate again. All I can say is "what does this all mean?". As I said, Ep. 29 just adds to the confusion. edit: We know Le Creuset is a Newtype thanks to daddy Flaga, who was a Natural. But could he have had any enhancements done to him when he met Dullindal? We don't know. Also, did Mr. Flaga want his clone(s) to be coordinators? We don't know.

He's a Natural Coordinator. They never address what he is, really. He could be a Coordinator (Flaga could have mdae his clones into Coordinators) judging from what he said in SEED. We don't know what those pills are. But it appears to have a calming effect so I'm wonder if those problems occur in stressful situations (like fighting Mu and Kira in the research facility). The growth acceleration probably causes all the symptoms and the pills probably control those symptoms.

It was medication to slow down the growth acceleration that Le Creuset was put through. Accroding to what's been said, he was altered with growth acceleration to catch up to Mu's age. In later years, they would try to stop this but failed and the side effect was sharp intense pain developed (kinda like he was having a heart attack) which he would have to take medication for. My guess is that stuff acted like a relaxer/blood pressure medication/fentanyl (this is a powerful pain killer), stuff to keep him from Apparently, Dullindal was the one who supplied Rau with the drugs.

After watching episode 29.... I can't tell. His connection to Crueset makes it questionable. He thinks it fate that all these things are happening. Ugh...this is getting confusing.
