Anubis

I would like a Neue Ziel if any Mobile Armor. The HGM is nice and all, but a fix/zeonography of that would rock. That's about the only mobile armor I really liked.

. That made my day. Where is this page at? I can think of a few speeches I want to use that translator on.

I do have to say that Deep Striker is pretty cool. Not getting one, but it is an interesting design nonetheless.

All right, new prototypes. Yeah, Swindle was a no-brainer as another Wrangler. Maybe they'll mod it into a hard top and release a Brawn as well. It would be nice if someone would transform prototypes properly for once though. I'm loving Jazz though.

don't worry, I didn't mean you, but the guy above who was already complaning about Seed D.

OK, but that still doesn't mean the Gaia is going to be a rip off of that. Wait for LINEART then judge new mobile suits. Some people are really jumping the gun here. It's a bit early to bash designs you haven't seen yet, and it's impossible to say Seed D is going to be a total rip off of Zeta because no knows the plot yet. Hell, there was no way to judge how the first Seed was going to end. We speculated all the way up to the last episode.

What does main part 30 minute mean? 4 minutes for credits, or an epilogue maybe?

Natural evolution is a design philosophy that Okawara does not subscribe to, and so is not present in SEED D. What we have here is merely a recycling of parts. There is no evolution to be found. Evolution can be found in Gundam Wing, where Katoki took the Tallgeese, stripped it down into the Leo, and then evolved it while keeping common features. Evolution can be found in Gundam 0083, where Katoki took the GM Type C, created the Powered GM, and then incorporated Powered GM aesthetics into the GM Custom--then took the GM Custom plus the Gundam Stamen, with a bit of the Gundam mk.II, and molded it into the GM Quel. In contrast, all that Okawara did here was to recycle the same design aesthetics and parts he's been using for 12 years, mixed in with ripoffs of other designers (for example, Gaia Gundam's four-legged transformation is merely a rehash of the Death Army from G). Fire this man already. It looks like Bandai is trying to recreate Zeta, and it will not work. Period. Thank God for the existence of Studio Reckless. So the Impulse is not an evolution of the Strike? Freeedom and Justice not derived from the stolen 4 gundams? The Cgue not a natural evolution of the lessons learned from the Ginn? Even the Genesis got the benefit of Blitz's Mirage cloaking system. Seed gets about every design evolution the other shows get. I would very much like to see a picture of this. The death army did not transform. There were variants within the Death Army, but no 4 legged one that I can remember.

I would venture to guess Onegai Twins figure for the body? One of the girls there tends to trip a lot.

Crap, forgot all about the trivia question. My bad. Thanks for picking it up UN Spacy.

I saw the movie last night. I thought it was pretty good. Great action, and I really liked the robots' design. Good flick.

The star wars statues of that line are snap together. Real easy.

Agreed. I do have to agree about the lips being a little too big as well, but still an awesome job.

Here's somethine Red Comet would love: MS-06SHAKU

Well, I guess we have our Bumblebee. Him and Cliffjumper are the easy guesses for this one. If Mazda's CG RX-8 work-up is any indicator, then the Cooper will probably look similar to that, though without the pipes and stuff.

Yeah, the Inbit said "You dumbasses are going to destroy your own planet and everyone on it because you can't beat us normally? Later! We'll find a better place." The inbit weren't very smart to let a bunch or 2nd liberation guys gather right next to reflex point though. Come on. Both sides did stupid stuff all throughout Mospaeda. Earth fleet there gets my vote though as dumbest military.

I will have the red, I will have the green.

I like the Misa with Ishtar's outfit.

Bout time they took Cowboy Bebop off the air. They had it running continuously for ages. As much as I loved it, it's time for somethign different. Trigun is pushing it as well. Sorry I missed the rant. By all means if someone has it, post it. May have to catch the rerun tonight on Comedy Central if I have time, though I will most likely miss it.

Not surprising that the Impulse will use variants of the previous three strike modes, but we can expect a couple more as well. I would expect to see an IWSP equivalent in the future. Also if the Impulse uses a core fighter then extra cores may be able to hook up to equipment like the Sky Graspers did with the left over Strike Packs. The earlier "splits in three" thing sounds like the original gundam. Core Fighter + two halves. I just hope they don't revert to G-Armor type stuff using the leg section, or torso on different armor pieces. That would stink. Saber/Savior sounds like a Zeta-ish mobile suit, maybe have traits of the Wing or Raider. Chaos sound like an Aegis upgrade. Abyss a Forbidden udgrade, maybe similar to the Pheyos valkyrie. The Gaia sounds like it could be a take on the BuCUE land mobile suit, that was the only 4-legged mecha in Seed. Definately need to see some lineart on these. Interesting take to have so many transforming mecha off the bat. Now we need a bad guy with funnels. Another thing we need to know is wether these are the main kick-off five, or if there are enemy mecha mixed into this just announced lineup. Chaos and Abyss are odd names for good guy mecha, but we did already have a Deathscythe so it's possible. BTW: the Seed Destiny site is active now. link It's actually not a bad idea to have natural evolutions of some of Seed's suits incorporated into the lineup. It's only been two years anyway. May even see some of the previous as well yet. Buster and Duel were quite repairable. Strike Rouge didn't have a scratch on it. Freedom is hard to tell from it's condition at the end, but possible (Lacus does have a lot of clout to be able to have it repaired/rebuilt for Kira), though I expect Kira will have taken a "retired" stance, and not fight much for a while. I really want to see more on how they take this new show. With quality Artwork, the Impulse doesn't look half bad at all.

You can also tell the covers are not part of the -19's arm. Looks like the covers move up and back while the weapons moves forward. The angle makes the covers look thinner than they actually are. Look at the leftmost weapon closely and see the shape of the X on the cover.

What does the mini cooper look like?

Just looked, and it is on ebay. The sellers have them listed as in stock. A couple of them are doing Sideswipe/Dead End bundles as well.

Normally I buy 1, but occasionally I'm tempted to buy a second, like I am going to do with the VB-6.

SCORE Germantown, MD Wal-Mart had about 5 Silverstreaks today, and 2 Hounds. Bought both Hounds. One for me, the other is in the sale section. Way more Silverstreaks than I expected, so that is a good sign for later availablity. Just takes a while for the new ones to circulate to the stores it seems. Didn't check Target, but I would guess they probably had a couple as well now.
