I'll never look at an Unseen Battlemaster quite the same way after this... :D Are those angled launchers artillery or smoke (in Battletech, they were considered MLs on a stock BLR-1G)? I asked my wife about this suit " It looks like a nurse's outift' *giggles*

Nurse outfit? Lol! I can sort of see in an insane asylum orderly type of way.

 

Honestly though? My first instinct was either 80s BreakDancer or Russian mobster. 😆

I believe those were smoke launchers or various items like signals or flares. Most of the combat armors had them in some location and most of the humanoid ones had them near the head

So 58 episodes in, my feelings about the series haven't changed: I think it's absolutely fantastic and quite surprising how much real-world political manoeuvering is shown in a series that was aimed at children.

Is this a misconception generally about "real robot" shows from the '80s? I believe post Gundam a lot of this stuff was actually dually aimed at high school kids and college students? Macross originally aired on Sundays at 14:00. Kid friendly, but also enough time for hungover College kids to wake up...? Dougram debuted on a Friday. Does anyone know what time of day? I guess they would get a lot of merch sales from kids and kids would definitely watch this stuff but young adults watched it too and picked up on the more complex themes. It's like when I was a kid I'd see war movies and of course Robotech and not necessarily understand everything but I was still enthralled. Actually, not understanding references or parallels in the real world probably made it more fascinating to my 7 year old brain. Stuff like GI Joe or Smurfs was pretty boring to me in comparison to serialised Japanese war stories. 

However, I'm watching Dougram for the first time currently (only 8 episodes in myself) and I agree with you, the political complexity is a step up from Macross or even Gundam. I had to rewatch a couple of early episodes to fully understand the plot and I'm in my 40s now! ha.

Hi all, 

 

Looking at purchasing this book: 

81roM-mCEIL._AC_UF1000,1000_QL80_.jpg

Does anyone have it? I want to confirm some contents I've seen online in older Dougram books - ie breakdowns of small arms (rifles, machineguns) etc used in the series. Would these be included? I can't find much specifically about that content. Thanks.

At this point we're not sure if 1/35 is a one-time thing.

The 1/72 model kit are already come pre-colored. But just like any other kits, if you want to bring out all the details and stuff, you have to paint and panel line it. ;) 

Here's ZakuAurelius review on the 1/72 Dougram ver.GT kit. Hope that helps in your collecting decisions. :good:
