Well, I decided to make a UC/AU thread since Destiny is over and not many conversations are going on in there. So I decided to make this. Discuss on any UC/AU series.

I say one of my favorite series has to be 8th MS Team. Since it focus on just a regular military solder then a super ace pilot with a powerful Gundam. Even though the last episode killed the series. Once again the Gouf kicks ass!

Posted by: Indecisive Oct 16 2005, 12:19 AM
my personal favouriteseries was (other than seed) Gundam X....


did you guys know that Turn-A-Gundam is supposed to be UC as well? or at least that's what I got out of it... anyways..that series sucked monkey balls heh.

Posted by: Metamorphic Oct 16 2005, 01:54 AM
Althoug Gundam X's was axed before it could finish I quite liked it Freedom Gundam is such a Double X rip off!!

I also like Gundam Wing but i havent been lucky enough to see a complete UC story yet ive just seen half of the Char's counterattack movie but i so want to see the original three Mobile Suit Gundam, Zeta Gundam and ZZ

Posted by: ams14 Oct 16 2005, 07:11 AM
My faves are Wing,G,Seed/Seed Destiny.

Posted by: Slade Oct 16 2005, 10:58 AM
Ive enjoyed G,Wing,8th MS team,Seed and Seed Destiny

Id have to say G Gundam and 8th MS team were my faves happy.gif

Posted by: AJS13 Oct 16 2005, 11:15 AM
Zeta Gundam is great, tho thats the only UC series I have seen, I feel in love with it, I even cryed during the last two eps. I think it could have finished much better than it did, It kind of just ended.
I also love Wing, that was a really good series aswell.
I havent seen all of Seed and none of Destiny.

Im planning on buying Mobile Suit Gundam, and ZZ Gundam soon, and if I find any others to get, then I will.

Posted by: Legend of Speed Oct 16 2005, 12:50 PM
Hey, I'm haven't been updated on UC for a while. But I read a lot of news that Zeta Gundam the movie is out in Japan? Is it like a remake of the original, but they enhance the animations and make it look like a movie? There are 3 movies, is it like the Mobile Suit Gundam DVDs when 1 DVD has like the first 20, the 2nd has the next 20, and the 3rd has the rest of the last episodes?

Posted by: Metamorphic Oct 16 2005, 06:05 PM
Nope the Zeta movie uses the original footage they just cuts out bits and pieces from the original

Posted by: Legend of Speed Oct 16 2005, 06:33 PM
So why are there 3 movies coming out? The 2nd is coming out somewhere in October 05 and the 3rd movie in January 06.

Posted by: BOZZ Oct 16 2005, 10:03 PM
I can't wait til this is either released on DVD (meaning I will actually buy it since the Zeta TV boxset is way overpriced)... Interestingly enough in the 2nd movie they have already made a huge change to what happens to one of the characters...

Posted by: crazyman Oct 17 2005, 09:51 AM
i still need to finish watching zeta lol

Posted by: Akira Oct 17 2005, 11:33 AM
I've seen almost everything. Only exceptions are victory, f91, and zeta. All of which I want to see. I didn't include seed destiny because it was too much of a disappointment, I'm not even going to watch it. Seed sucked imo.. but I'm a hardcore gundam fan, seed and destiny are complete garbage compared.
Wing was the first attempt at seed, an alternate universe which was intended to go on to be the new UC, but just didn't work, although I didn't like it as a gundam series, I thought it was a great series.
Turn-A-Gundam was great if you know what's going on, Tomino's last work.

Posted by: BOZZ Oct 17 2005, 12:58 PM
I coulda sworn Tomino worked on other series since Turn A Gundam tongue.gif

You forgot to mention ZZ as well Akira... tongue.gif

Posted by: Akira Oct 17 2005, 01:01 PM
I consider ZZ apart of the zeta 'saga'.
Last I checked, Turn A was the last series made besides seed, and he had no part in that.

Posted by: AJS13 Oct 17 2005, 02:04 PM
All Hail Zeta, our overlord and king of Gundams lol

I got bored with Seed, I have most of the eps around here on CD from a mate, but I dont know, I didnt find it that interesting.

I have a mate that likes seed over wing because it looks better, I mean damm man give it a chance. (He mightnt watch the orignals aswell as they look old)

Seriously, a lot of people I know rather watch SEED then the older UC series because it looks newer and the girls are hotter blink.gif . I mean I read morons on other forums saying that Gundam SEED Destiny's story was unique and original even though it has some Zeta Gundam similarities. Fukuda even said so himself that C.E. is the newest UC, but some ignorant people keep saying they are hardcore gundam fans even though the only Gundam series they seen were on Cartoon Network rolleyes.gif.

Posted by: Metamorphic Oct 17 2005, 05:12 PM
^ Word agree with you Legend i myself am a hardcore SEED fan and SEED is in fact my fav series but i know that there are better ones out there that i havent seen yet.

My friend Phillips watched every series already hes verdict still remains the new series have nothing compared to the original UC series they lack the skill to include an even mix of drama, character development and MS action.

Posted by: Akira Oct 18 2005, 03:59 AM
I know people that have seen wing or seed thinking it was the best thing ever, and upon seeing all the other series, just gave up on the other. Then there's some weird people that continue liking seed or wing a whole lot afterwards. laugh.gif
I only kid. tongue.gif

After nearly finishing Gundam ZZ, I am starting to lose faith in UC stories...

I just hope that Victory Gundam can restore my faith with its Char-descendent main character...

I haven't seen ZZ, but I heard the series was a let down because it was mostly a non serious Gundam series compared to the dark Zeta Gundam. I heard Victory was very good, but I haven't seen it yet.

I agree.
Wing was good, but unless you actually saw all the others, you really wouldn't have said that. With that said, have you actually seen anything else besides wing?

Well it's not that ZZ is not serious, cause it starts getting there after around episode 34... But it definetly is a let down in terms of how it ends... Not going to spoil anything here...

But would have been great if the rumoured changes that Tomino had planned had come through...

So do I, but I'm saying it isn't the best of them, and someone who's seen them all or at least a lot(two or three are not a lot), would agree.

Posted by: haspieuw Oct 20 2005, 01:30 PM
hey to all

i pretty much liked all series except for Saviour but I havent seen it
some UC series,Turn A and G are the ones i havent seen

Heh... Some can be gratting to watch... I am having a hard time to sit down and finish the last 3 episodes of ZZ... ><

I just wish they animate Char's Deleted Affair. I want to see a cute teenage Haman Karn all over Char...

Posted by: Metamorphic Oct 20 2005, 06:18 PM
sounds like a Gundam "H" title Bozzy! hahahahaha

I would like to see the Nightingale and Hi-Nu Gundam animated it would look so kick ass

Posted by: haspieuw Oct 21 2005, 02:49 AM
isnt there the novel called belitica's children (or somethin like that) with Hi-Nu and Nightingale ?

Posted by: BOZZ Oct 21 2005, 09:25 AM
Yup... It's being translated by Deacon over on his site Zeonic-Corps.net.

That is the novel that CCA is based off... Sadly they removed some things from it... Such as Amuro and Beltorchika living in a common law marriage (they're not married) and Beltorchika being preggers with Amuro's kid... Kinda the reason behind the title of the book... That was scrapped from the movie because I guess Bandai didn't want to send the message that having kids out of wedlock is something they support...

Either way Char's Deleted Affair isn't really H-ish, but damn I want to read it or watch it animated... Haman is drawn so cute in it...

Posted by: BOZZ Oct 21 2005, 08:53 PM
I think you got it the other way around... All the other series are the shit (Turn A, 0079, 0080, Zeta, ZZ) and Wing is for kids tongue.gif

Posted by: crazyman Oct 21 2005, 11:13 PM
its all about G-gundam wOOt that shit is not for kids

Posted by: haspieuw Oct 22 2005, 04:43 AM
wing isnt so childish
if you think its just mecha battles then you miss whole the point of the story

damn Hazel Custom looks great

Posted by: BOZZ Oct 22 2005, 08:07 AM
I know lol... Just being sarcastic... I think tongue.gif

Either way ZZ turned out to be less disappointing than I thought it would be... The original plan for it would have included Char, too bad it didn't it would've done wonders for the story...

Posted by: Rose Gold Oct 22 2005, 09:25 AM
lol i kno i kno, im bein ignorant.. i really like the dated feel n the animation.. the characters are lovely... THE MONGOOSE is the sickest evil mecha.. i like how earth "still exists".

lol no i dont think its just mecha battles. I really like how each is unique.. especially the firepower bullet joint.. its not really super mobile like the rest of em.. anyway, i think it has a real mature feel n I love the story n the atmosphere

Posted by: BOZZ Oct 22 2005, 10:40 AM
The only problem with Gundam is how Earth still exists... It would've been awesome if it was actually destroyed in at least one series... ><

Posted by: Metamorphic Oct 23 2005, 05:46 PM
LOL i can make that happen with the script im writing now hahahahaa

If some of you dont know what im doing im writing a script for a fan fic SEED Gundam series atm in my spare time. In addition to that Im also doing mecha designs, character designs and the whole lot.

So far i only fully designed one mecha,

ORB-03 Guardian : Main characters first machine ill post that one up soon just need to draw the backpack in PS and colour it atm.

ORB-02 Challenge: Akatsuki with a blue and silver theme may add some other unique traits

ZGMF-X25A Paradise: Lacus' machine havent came up with anything for that yet

ZGMF-X30A Liberty: main characters replacement MS only drawn the head and torso for that one.

MBF-X19A Murasame unique to Zala Squad- Athrun Zala’s personal battalion customised Murasames with a white, yellow and magenta colour scheme, basic engine capacity but armed with beam boomerangs, connectable beam sabre javelin and beam cutters lined in the wings armed with standard rifle.

MBF-X20A Murasame unique to Yamato Squad- Kira Yamato’s personal battalion customised Murasames with a white, blue and red scheme increased engine capacity and redefined aerodynamics armed with two under arm heavy beam cannons, equipped with Standard rifle, small missile pods attached to the wings and beam sabres

12 per squad effectively making twelve pairs

Villains- No Idea as yet

SWF-Z01 Conqueror
SWF-Z02 Warlord
SWF-Z03 Tyrant

Grunt unit: SWF-I06 Zealot (there wil be lots and lots of these however they can esily overpower opposing grunt units)


Returning MS's are

Destiny
Strike Freedom (It wont have that much screen time this time around)
Infinite Justice
Akatsuki
Strike Rouge but with IWSP pack

Posted by: BOZZ Oct 23 2005, 07:57 PM
Not sure if it fits here... But I've also started work on my own Gundam-related project... A mecha series based on mecha shows... smile.gif

Your story stuff sounds awesome Metamorphic...

Here's my fan fictional 3rd SEED...

It is 3 years later, Lacus, Kira, Athrun, and Cagalli were the real villains all along. Now that ORB is the strongest nation it has occupied all of Earth. Meanwhile Shinn Asuka wears the mask that resembles Neo since Stellar had a strong bond between Neo so he wishes that Stellar would love him just as much. The Destiny has been rebuild and so has the Impulse with some major upgrades. Meanwhile the junk dealer known as Lowe Gear (Astray) has gotten his hands on the damaged Minerva and repaired it and it has becomes Shinn's personal ship. Shinn now leads a radical anti-ORB rebellion. But what stands in his way are his 2 rivals, Ultimate Coordinator Kira Yamato and Athrun Zala. Shinn along with help from Lunamaria, and most of the EA and ZAFT are about to rebel against ORB's rule. EA and ZAFT no longer have the long bloodshed they had no less then 7 years go. Yzak Joule and Dearka Elthsman have joined Shinn's rebellion along with Shiho. Yzak's veteran Joule Team and also with the leaderless Westenfluss team are now in charge of ZAFT's army, while Shinn is the head leader of the rebellion and EA. Well, thats all I can think of so far... pretty neat for a fan story, well in my opinion

This was my fan fic story that I posted a while back and here's episode 1 since I'm seriously bored right now.

Gundam SEED - no title yet

Episode 1 - The Clash Between Heroes
6 Nazca ships are floating nearby PLANT
Out in space, Yzak's Nazca fleet is patroling 4th sector of PLANT from any ORB threats. "I can't believe my trusted friends decieved us the whole time" said Yzak. "And to thought we betrayed ZAFT 2 times now for trying to help the Clyne Faction and what do we get? They turn out to be villains all along." said Dearka. "Lets just hope the General know what he's doing for declaring war on ORB" said Yzak.

Meanwhile back in Minerva
"Thanks alot for repairing the Minerva" said Shinn. "No problem, I was going to keep it as my own ship, but then again I woudn't know what to do with a large fancy ship like this." yelled Lowe Gear(MSV). "Shinn!" yelled Lunamaria, "huh? oh Luna" said Shinn. "Shinn, the Destiny has been repaired to battle capability", "That's great news Luna" Then Yzak reports in that an ORB fleet has been detected on radar

"Shinn! An ORB fleet has appeared and they are launching M2 Astray mobile suits!" yelled Yzak.
"Launch all ZAKU Warrior II's that are available in your fleet!" commanded Shinn.
"Let's hope you know what you're doing since this is our first battle" said Yzak.

18 ZAKU Warriors II's has been launch and so has Yzak's personal GOUF Ignited Custom(Looks like the 8th MS Gouf, but is a beam gathling gun) and Dearka's Gelgoog.

"Sir, ZAFT forces has launched their mobile suits, we will crush the rebellion!" yelled a ORB officer.
"Good, and to thought ZAFT and EA would join forces to try to stop the Kingdom of ORB" said the ORB captain

A massive battle has started, missles and lasers are being blasted all over the place, Yzak destroyed a couple of M2's and so has Dearka. Then into the mist, the legendary Strike Freedom has been spotted and activated his DRAGOONs and disabled the ZAKUs

"Great, just what we f**king need! It's Kira Yamato!" said Yzak angrily
"You think we can take him?" questioned Dearka
"I don't think so, his mobile suit is too advanced, and I tried to destroyed him back when I had the Duel Gundam, but it never happened" said Yzak disappointedly
"Doesn't matter! FOR THE REBELLION!" yelled Yzak

Yzak charged towards Kira and fired his beam gathling gun until it ran out of power cells, Deaka fires his hyper beam rifle, but Kira dodge all of their attacks and activated his railguns and disabled their mobile suits.

"Don't even try! I know you helped us in the pass and think of this as a returned favor that I didn't kill you!" yelled Kira
"Why are you doing this?!" yelled Dearka
"There should only be 1 power, so war will never break out again! So we can control the people and have a stable government!" yelled Kira

Then a beam cannon beam crosses the Strike Freedom's body, but missed.

"It's Shinn!" yelled relieved Dearka
"So you're alive I see, good to see you Shinn" said Kira calmly
"Shut up Kira! After the battle at the Messiah, I was gonna drop our rivalry, now that ORB is the strongest nation and you are using the Destiny Plan into play, I will never forgive you and Lacus!" yelled Shinn
"Lacus and I agreed to use Dullindal's Destiny Plan to protect everyone! We need to have certain roles so everyone is capable of doing!" yelled Kira madly
"We are Humans, not a bunch of mindless machines! We have feelings and emotions! Don't you ever think that a person with a certain role is pleased with what he or she is doing?! He or she might rebel someday!" cried Shinn
"That's why I will use my gift to control and isloate the person that will threaten the Destiny Plan! We will crush any resistence there is!" cried Kira.

Kira activates his beam saber and charge towards Shinn. Destiny activates its Wings of Light and the clash between heroes has begun!

Well, that's the 1st episode of my fan fic story. And it's not that great right now, but I will try to make it better.

I like Gundam my favourite is SEED

Posted by: Metamorphic Oct 24 2005, 02:55 AM
Wow action in the first episode awesome stuff legend! Well anyway the prologue of my script

(We hear Marrue’s voice over a pan shot of the PLANTs and then slowly zooming onto Earth.)

Marrue Voice Over: Cosmic Era 75, two years after the failed Destiny Plan the relationship between Coordinator and Natural has improved slightly although there is still some resentment and some minor disagreements the heroes from the last battle continue to campaign endlessly for full scale reconciliation.


(Pan in onto Earth)

(2 years ago)

(Two Murasames clashing with each other, rifle shots are blocked by shields, beam sabres out and ready after a couple of swings and sharp blocks one makes the deciding move for this battle. The mobile suit’s engine roars to life and zooms in to its foe.

The charging mobile suit tosses away its shield and takes out the spare beam sabre from the recharge rack. With both swords the attacker swings with precise accuracy and tears off its opponent’s arms, performs an aerobatic back-flip and lands back to solid ground. For a slight second the winning Murasame strikes a pose with the beam sabres and returns the weapons to the recharge racks)

Apparently this was only a training session.In due time the other mobile suit lands the victor opens up her cockpit to check on her colleague. (Helmet is glared can not see face.)

Observing from afar are two men dressed in ORB’s military uniform one had a blue lapel, yellow collar tips and the stripes of a general he is Kira Yamato and another man in a similar uniform but less one white stripe the lapel reveals the yellow and orange stripes of a Colonel, Athrun Zala

Kira: She has got potential you would never suspect she is a Natural!
Athrun: I agree are you thinking of giving her an invitation into Yamato Squad?
Kira: After the first Great War I wasn’t around to help stabilise ORB which gave rise to the Seiran’s I can’t let it happen again! If I am to leave for a quieter life away from battles and mobile suits I need to find a successor first.
Athrun: Ah! I know what you are thinking Kira!
Kira: No wonder you are my right hand man Athrun you know me better than others


(Both laugh and leave in Athrun’s sports car, the car sooms off into the horizon and fades in to reveal a graduation ceremony)

ORB’s supreme representative Cagalli Yula Atha is standing on a dais to announce the graduation of a group of elite recruits

Cagalli Yula Atha: Today marks the graduation of ORB’s newest batch of elite soldiers all of you have escaped eviction to attend today’s ceremony, I thank you on behalf of the nation of ORB for your fine efforts as the nation relies on your selfless commitment.

Each of you are crack elites who have scored 80% or above among one of you is a candidate who received the full 100% the first time in ORB’s history the closest to her score was only 92%.

This fine candidate is Imari Meiji and her runner up is Menzies Charlton I hope both of you can extend your talents and not disappoint me and the people of ORB!

(As the arena erupts in applause we see the then 15 year old Imari Meiji and Menzies Charlton, Imari has long chestnut brown hair and dark brown eyes, full lips although at a tender age she already had sizzling hourglass figure which was hugged tightly by her custom uniform.

Her coat is shorter than the others cut at waist length however she still retained the wide lapel and already sported the stripes of a lieutenant, she wore a blue miniskirt with white edges matchedw ith thigh high stockings of the same shade and black ankle boots.(ORB’s Lunamaria! Hehehehee)

Charlton stood at six foot and had the blonde hair and brown eyes although technically they weren’t blood related Charlton looked remarkably similar to Cagalli, well after all he is Cagalli’s cousin. Charlton kept the full uniform but surprisingly he decided to start from scratch instead of jumping ranks which would be relatively easy since he had the nation’s most influential figure to back him up.

(Menzies and Imari salute Cagalli whilst they are handed their graduation certificates and medals)

Cagalli Yula Atha: Each and every one of you will be offered assignments from next week until then relax sit back and enjoy a well-deserved break!

Thankyou for the sake of ORB!

(Once again the arena erupts in applause and chant)

Soldiers: Cagalli Sama! Cagalli Sama! Cagalli Sama! Cagalli Sama!

(A shot of Cagalli enjoying her fine moment the screen slowly blurs out)

The week has passed Imari just had a shower and is now waiting see where she has been assigned to. Her uniform is hung on a coat hangar she now has her damp hair tied up and is wearing a pink singlet top and blue shorts. Imari gets seated at her desk a cup of coffee in her hand.

Her desk is of decent size and on top of it she has a LCD display, wireless peripherals, a make up box, mirror and a photo frame it is a picture of her shaking hands with Kira. Imari sees her monitor flicker to life, a military message, Imari scans the sender details to see that the signature was from none other than Kira Yamato

Imari: General Yamato?


(Voice over Kira)


Dear Imari,

Congratulations on your graduation.


You showed great promise in your training. Your potential is limitless I would like to offer you an invitation of tuition. Over the months I have observed your progress and am pleased with your chivalry and sense of virtue which is more important that prodigious skill.

I would like to train you personally in all types of mobile suit combat and battle philosophy. This isn’t an order just a friendly invitation if you are not willing I would like to extend my services to another offer to provide you with a position to any post according to your rank in ORB’s military

Whatever your decision is contact me electronically via the military terminal

Regards,

Kira Yamato

Imari eyes are wide, she beams a radiant smile, clicks reply and starts typing (zoom into the monitor to reveal the words)

Thankyou for you message General Yamato I gladly agree to your invitation and would be honoured to train under Freedom’s wing!

Okay.. new semi-unwritten rule for this thread. No one liners that know jack shit!
Such as: I like gundam wing! I like gundam seed! (anything of that sort)
gundam wing is the best! gundam seed is the best! (ect ect)

If you can't back that up, don't post. Gundam is not a series for kids, none of them are, but if you really want to get into that, the only ones I would recommend for children are wing, seed, and G, the ones that require the least amount of IQ, no intesion of bashing any of them. I think all gundam series have there ups and downs, I have my favorites, I have my least favorites, but if you're some shmuck that's seen nothing but wing or seed or both, then at least make some intellectual conversation instead of making yourself look like a braindead nut-sack.

I agree with that, except just chill out. I would only recommend 0080: War in the Pocket for kids 11 and up since it's mostly around a little boy name Al and his Zeon friend bernie. Unlike in most Gundam series, hundreds of lives are taken away from wars, but in 0080 when Bernie died it felt like a thousand deaths since Al had such a close relationship towards Bernie and not to mention Chris seemed to have a crush on Bernie and she killed him without knowing. So it teaches kids that war is bad, since everyone already know that about now.

P.S. Thanks for the feedback Metamorphic! And the prologe is pretty good, it should be a good fan fic story.

Agree with you Akira,

Gundam isn't for kids, I dont know why they say Wing is a kids cartoon the story line is actually pretty dark as if a sane main character would laugh like a maniac after shooting down an enemy mobile suit, crash lands his mobile suit and says to a chick,

"I'm going to kill you!"

He didnt say that on cartoon network tho, they changed it to "I will destory you".
I was like WTF, if you watch the DVDs it says "I will kill you". Poor Relena, tho I never liked her.

Damn someone beat me to that line hehehe... They did the same thing when it aired on YTV in Canada as well... ><

btw how many series have a propaganda girl like Relena and Lacus in it?

Posted by: Akira Oct 25 2005, 02:09 PM
lol, sorry for the temper. XD
And, not many more, two I think, Turn A had Dianna, and 08th ms team had Aina.
EDIT: Yeah, I remember that moment.. "I'll destroy you." lol, it's not THAT bad. tongue.gif I mean considering what's been cut out in other series that wasn't too bad at all. "Though seeing the scene on dvds is just great afterwards.

Posted by: BOZZ Oct 25 2005, 09:48 PM
I think that's about it for the Relena-types... I don't think in any of the 4 Tomino-UC series was there a character like them...

Posted by: bROCKoLEE Oct 25 2005, 11:32 PM
Okay immas started thinking about watching the Gundam series now, but to my knowledge there's like a thousand different seires of gundam. So my question is, are they all linked together somehow (like do they continue on from each other like ID 1st and 2nd stage) or are they just completely different stories all together. Also if they do continue on from each other, then in what order should i watch it form then?

Posted by: Metamorphic Oct 26 2005, 05:02 AM
I just saw the first Zeta movie! one word AWESOME!!!!! Its not as graphically stunning as SEED but I found that the battle choreography has much more style and substance than SEED!

I absolutely liked the last bit when Char and Amuro finally meet!

Posted by: BOZZ Oct 26 2005, 09:15 AM
Where'd ya watch it?

Posted by: Legend of Speed Oct 26 2005, 05:43 PM
Most likely in a movie theatre right? And the 3rd Zeta movie is on the move around Januaryish.

Posted by: BOZZ Oct 26 2005, 06:13 PM
They already apparently got a title for it... "The Pulse of the Star is Love"

Posted by: Metamorphic Oct 26 2005, 06:18 PM
lol my friend download heir to the stars for me from somewhere its good!!

Posted by: Legend of Speed Oct 26 2005, 06:33 PM
So are the 3 Zeta theatre movies a remake of the series in 3 movie forms?

Posted by: Metamorphic Oct 26 2005, 06:48 PM
it takes clips from the original content and pieces them into three movies. The Agama (I see this cruiser and I think Archangel totally ripped it off) and Mobile Suits are mildly editted but keep theoriginal feel.

Best of all no recycled framed like SEED!

Posted by: BOZZ Oct 27 2005, 06:02 PM
I just started watching Victory Gundam and boy... I am starting to see a lot of similarities with GSD...

The main Gundam, the Victory, like the Impulse, consists of the Core Splendor/Fighter and two other parts (which aside from episode 1 or 2 never seem to do anything aside from docking with the other parts to form the Impulse), the face of the Victory looks exactly the same as the one for Destiny. I was surprised seeing these connections only 4 episodes in...

I remember seeing on some sites saying that original Seed was 0079 x Wing retold, now I can clearly say that GSD is Zeta x Victory ><

Posted by: Akira Nov 1 2005, 03:02 PM
I just saw the first episode of X, I'm not going to judge yet, but from the looks of it, the original seed got a lot of it's stuff from here, not wing. X from a summary and pics looks like a second attempt at wing since it was a faliure as a gundam series. Though sill okay. wink2.gif

Here's episode 2 of my fan fic, and I decided to call it.... Gundam SEED:Rise to Glory

Gundam SEED:Rise to Glory

Episode 2 - Another Ultimate Coordinator?

Kira and Shinn are fighting with every might they have. Their swords clash after another. None of their suits sustain any damages. Meanwhile in the distance, ZAFT Zaku Warrior II's are fighting off ORB's M2 Astrays.

"I see you have improve a lot since we met." complemented Kira

"Shut up, I don't need your kindness, what you're doing is wrong. I thought your enemy was Dullindal and now that he is defeated you decided to take up his Destiny Plan? That's bull shit" said Shinn

"Say anything you want, and ORB is the strongest nation at the moment do you think you can stop it?" questioned Kira

"I know I can!" yelled Shinn

Destiny Gundam flies towards Kira and swings its sword and slices off Strike Freedom's right hand. Kira looks shocked and disappointed that he got hit so easily

"God, I can't believe ORB made so many units in just a few years" said Dearka

"Who gives a rat ass, we can take them!" yelled Yzak furiously

Yzak's GOUF custom fires its gathling gun and takes down 3 M2 Astrays and an ORB capital ship. Dearka fires his Gelgoog's beam rifle and took down an ORB mobile suit vessel

"Sir! We just lost our mobile suit vessel that contain most of our reserve reinforcements. We need to fall back, they're pushing us back." yelled an ORB CIC

"Fire retreat flares! We're going back home. We took down enough ZAFT mobile suits and ships today." commanded the ORB main captain of the fleet.

Retreat signals flare

"A retreat signal this early?" said Kira

"The Strike Freedom and the ORB fleet retreats"

"Good job on protecting PLANT men" complemented Shinn

"Don't let your guard down, they're be back sooner or later" said Yzak

Meanwhile back on Earth in the ORB Kingdom, a young girl walks through a busy street, and bumps into a man

"Hey, watch where you're going!"

"Oh, I'm very sorry mister" said the girl

"She walks into a cafe"

"Hey, you're late" said a man in a white coat

"I'm sorry, you know me." said the girl

"Who cares as long you are here. Here's your medication. Take at least 3 a day and your whole genetic processing will be complete at last" said the man in the white coat

"Yes, I will finally live a normal life now" said the girl happily

"You might..., but don't forget not to be out so late at night. I mean you are an Ultimate Coordinator and you don't know your own strength yet." said the man in the white coat

"I know..." said the girl sadly

"She leaves the cafe and walks down the street nervously"

"Oh boy, I can't believe you made me take care of this freak, Gilbert. Why did you have to go from Genetic scientist to ZAFT's chairman? Either way I did help you make her and Rey. Let's hope she doesn't get into trouble." said the man in the white coat

Meanwhile back at the representative house of ORB

"Cagalli! We must cancel the Destiny Plan! Riots are breaking out every now and then and people are getting killed. Not just in ORB, but also all over the world." yelled out a man in the meeting hall

"I know it's tough, but it's the only way to ensure that everyone has something to do in the world. That no one would go hungry from no job or money." said Cagalli

"We have to do something quickly. You must of heard by now that ZAFT is having an election next week, and what if a man or female becomes the next Patrick Zala or Gilbert Dullindal?"

"Then we are ready for anything" said Mwu La Fllaga proudly

"Don't forget we have the finest mobile suit pilots at the moment and technology" said Mwu

"And what are you saying General Mwu La Fllaga of the 2nd Independent Murasame Division that we declare war once again?"

"We like be known as the Screaming Eagles, sir" said Mwu

"Don't worry you two. Don't forget that there hasn't been any outbreaks yet. So we shouldn't panic about war. Let's call it a day and go home" said Cagalli

Everyone leaves the meeting hall. Cagalli walks to her room and collapse on her bed and falls asleep from all her stress lately

Meanwhile an explosion breaks out at the side of a local hospital in ORB

"Oh my god, it's an other terroriost attack!" yelled out a citizen

"There's someone in the 5 story!"

The fire department rescues the remaining surviviors and trying desperately to take the fire out. Meanwhile the girl earlier sees and explosion and sees the person trapped in the building, she rushes into the building

"Hey girl, what the hell are you doing!"

"I'm using my gift!" said the girl

"What the hell"

"Oh boy, she's dead"

The girl walks through the flaming hallways slowly yelling out where the trapped person was

"Where are you? I'm here to help you get out of here" said the girl

"I'm over here!"

The person was really a 7 year old boy, the girl picks up the boy runs through the burning hallways very fast. The walls were hot and there was too much smoke covering the view and she can't make a view of the door. The little boy asks "Are we gonna make it out alive?" and the girl replies "Of course we are", but she knew they were not gonna make it. The building collapse...

News is circulating the Gundam forums over at GameFaqs and I think AnimeSuki that Yzak is the next chairman of Zaft... ><

Posted by: Legend of Speed Nov 2 2005, 10:38 AM
I don't believe that. It be weird that Yzak becomes chairman of ZAFT when he helped out the Clyne Faction 2 times. I guess Dearka will take over Yzak's old rank and become a commander of a fleet?

Yzak sounds good as ZAFT's chairman. Now ZAFT won't be corrupted when Patrick Zala and Gilbert Dullindal were in charge.

Posted by: BOZZ Nov 2 2005, 05:46 PM
It's too bad... I was hoping to see Athrun become the new Chairman and have him decide to drop one of the Zaft colonies on the Earth to force the Naturals to immigrate to space and be made into Co-ordinators or something... ><

Posted by: Legend of Speed Nov 2 2005, 05:57 PM
Yes, then we get a Athrun's Counterattack. Then again Athrun seems too emotional as a chairman and might have trouble deciding on what to do.

Posted by: Metamorphic Nov 5 2005, 06:10 AM

Well considering how Char does a 360 following Zeta... who knows... Athrun could turn around completely... I wish he actually had in Destiny... It would have been awesome if he had turned around and killed Kira himself and said he finally got his revenge while he still had the Saviour... oh well... ><

Oh I also noticed that my local HK anime DVD shop has a bootleg Zeta Movie 1... I am tempted to do what Nomake Wan is doing with Battle Stage, fansubbing a movie myself... Mind you it would be me + HK English Scripts + Zeta TV + my Japanese language comprehension... ><

Posted by: Metamorphic Nov 6 2005, 08:19 PM
heres your reward then Legend the first episode its a bit crap in my opinion its more of a development of the new war the action begins next episode

Song)

Episode 1: War

Lacus’s transport ship ( a small luxury shuttle with two staff on the starboard.)is on its way to the newly constructed Junius 7 site from afar we can see the miniature gold hourglass shape clash violently with its larger blue counter parts

(Zoom in to Junius 7 to reveal Shinn Asuka wearing a white coat lined with shades of red symbolising his status as a training captain however the FAITH badge is still pinned onto his uniform beside him is Lunamaria Hawke in a similar uniform, (however unlike her custom uniform from Destiny it is at full length)

Shinn: Lacus Sama is coming? I’m sure the people would be excited about that!
Luna: Uun Lacus Sama surely knows how to attract a crowd!
Shinn: if it wasn’t for her, Athrun and Kira I wouldn’t have known what I was supporting was a lost cause seeing what they have been doing for the relations of Coordinator and Natural over the last two years I give them my highest respect.

(Flash back: Athrun disabling Shinn and ORB’s victory. We see Infinite Justice landing onto the lunar surface next to Shinn and Luna

Athrun: Shinn, Lunamaria are you hurt?
Shinn: Ah I’m okay! (in a sour tone)
Luna: Shinn!
Shinn: To have trusted Dullindal was a mistake I was manipulated all along. He even took out allied forces with the Neo Genesis! (hangs head in shame tears welling in his eyes)
Athrun: that isn’t a problem Shinn to learn from your mistakes is what counts
Shinn: Athrun I am sorry I didn’t listen to you; I let the title “super ace” cloud my judgement
Athrun: it’s over forget about it lets start all over again okay!

(End of flashback Athrun wraps his arm around Shinn’s shoulder and they reconcile.)

Shinn: Wars have been contained and peace has spread thoroughly they have done a good job.

(Whilst Shinn is talking we see that Lacus’ ship is being trailed by a massive ship with an ability reminiscent to Mirage Colloid……….)

(On the bridge of the ship known as Hades is a man with handsome European features including piercing blue eyes and shoulder length blonde hair he stood at a towering height and was wearing a uniform similar to ORB’s but in a shimmering blue material with gold threads and buttons his chest stripes beared the stripes of a General on the right sleeve was an unknown badge it didn’t belong to OMNI or ZAFT (it showed the wings of an angel protruding from an halo the symbol of Angel Cluster) on the other sleeve was a chunky golden skull.

Exodus: So she is Lacus Clyne the so called Galactic Goodwill Ambassador we shall start with capturi.g her, !ll units advance make haste! Fire Magnet Snares in volleys of three!!

Bridge Officer: Magnet Snares, negative charge selected!
(pause)
Bridge Officer 2: Snares fully charged ready to deploy
Exodus: FIRE!

(We hear three THUMP sounds as the snares are fired towards Lacus’ ship the first three attached to the left and right wing and the body. Another three attached to the belly of the shuttle Lacus’ ship was snared down by six strong metallic coils the weight of the battle cruiser stopped the shuttle from advancing

(Inside Lacus’ Ship, Lacus is wearing a provocative black dress bound by a pink sash which matched perfectly with her flowing pink hair wrapped around this dress was an elaborate white battle kimono the perfect blend between authority and beauty.

(Over intercom)

Officer: Lacus Sama we have been snagged we can’t move!
Lacus: Do not fret, check on the situation but be careful!
Officer: Roger!

Exodus: Disable all engine’s on her shuttle, organise a docking tube to her ship I’m going out to escort the fair lady onto our ship. When we are inside her shuttle unload a battalion of twelve Stealth Zealots to patrol and cover the ship. Xena, Vladimir follow me!

Bridge Officers, Xena, Vladimir: (salute) Ha!

(Vladimir and Xena are wearing similar general’s uniforms with the same badge and skull. Like angels from the sky they shared the same blonde hair, blue eyes and showed striking features to crave for they are the joint leaders of Angel Cluster’s elite strike force the Shinigami)

Officer: Disruption canceller activated! EMP engaged! Docking tube extended! Officer 2: General you are free to enter, preparing to unload Zealot Team One in t minus 35!

(The ship lets off a blue pulse once it makes contact with Lacus’ ship the engines lost boost. The sleek vessel reveals itself it was at least five times as big as the Archangel! The vessel slides a transparent tube over to Lacus’ shuttle and connects to the main hatch)

Officer: Lacus Sama we are being held down by a colossal warship our engines and communication channels have been disabled! They are breaking in via the main hatch!

Officer 2: Unknown mobile suits detected, twelve of them!! Their signature…..unconfirmed!

Lacus: (Surprise) LOGOS?

Lacus was taken by surprise the strike force had already barged into the pilot’s cabin and sprayed the room with hyper-machine gun with deadly accuracy

(Laser scopes were trained on Lacus now…)

Lacus: So you are the new leader of LOGOS?

Vladimir & Xena (exchange weird looks): Is that a marketing agency?

Exodus: Who I am is not of your concern, Ambassador Clyne (Exodus signals the troops)

(Although Lacus was blessed with Coordinator reflexes she was too slow. Two troops dragged Lacus out of her chair, ripping off her white coat in the process and shackled her hands)

Exodus: (over throat microphone) Load this shuttle onto Hades, speed is of the essence!

Lacus: Do you want to start another war did you know that if I am not available to hold the Earth Alliance and ZAFT together in harmony another war will break out!

Exodus: That is what I intend to do for my nation of Angel Cluster!

Lacus: (Thoughts) This is insane they aren’t LOGOS! They are much more technologically sophisticated! They are quicker than an Extended and even can outperform a Coordinator’s reflexes and where is this Angel Cluster?
Whilst Lacus is walking across to Hades via the docking tube the capital ship reels in the coils and the Zealots help to load the small shuttle into the hull.

(At the ceremony, we see Yzak Jule the newly elected Chairman preparing backstage to present his remembrance speech )

Yzak: Kusou!!!!! (Throws away the palm cards)
Dearka: Yzak, I never understood why you took up this post
Yzak: It’s in the best interest of ZAFT most the able Senator’s are retiring at an alarming rate and the juniors don’t have the capacity to take on this nation in their hands its my duty to protect ZAFT until an apparent successor arrives!
Dearka: A true knight in shining armour!

(A messenger rushes in)

Messenger: Chairman we have lost signal with Lacus Sama’s shuttle!
Yzak Jule: Lacus is missing? Who would dare to even touch her hair!
Messenger: We don’t know what has happened! We have only detected traces of an EMP pulse!
Yzak Jule: It must be LOGOS! This will be a hard battle if its true, when had LOGOS resurrected itself? Quickly contact ORB on the news then issue a warning to the Earth Alliance demanding Lacus’ return! Hurry! Dearka board Minerva MKII and supervise Captain Asuka Hurry!
Messenger, Dearka: (Salute) Ha!

(Orb: Meyrin has received information from the first line of communications and is running to Kira’s office to break the news)

Meyrin: Athrun, Kira

(Athrun and Kira): Yes Meyrin?

Meyrin ( panting for breath): Lac Lac Lacus Sama has gone missing (produces the message from ZAFT)

(Kira grabs the telegram at once his eyes grow wide as he reads the details. Desperation apparent in his face.)

Kira: Meyrin contact the hangar and prepare Freedom at once I need to go to PLANT to investigate!

Athrun: No Kira, Lacus is important, so important till she can start a war! But if that is to happen in a time like this ORB needs the Supreme General of Military Affairs for strategy and morale you need to stay

Kira: ORB’s safety is important but what about Lacus she's my girlfriend!

(voice over Meyrin’s headset)

Meyrin: Kira PLANT is preparing a global broadcast!

(Kira presses the button)

Yzak Jule: Greetings to the people of Earth I am Yzak Jule the Chairman of PLANT. Today is a remembrance day and I would of hoped you would of respected it! We have fought battle after battle and finally came to peace why did the newly resurrected LOGOs have to capture the Galactic Goodwill Ambassador, Lacus Clyne?

(Mid broadcast)

President of the United States: This is blasphemy! Lacus Clyne is just as important to us than to you this is an insult to the Earth Alliance!! I knew you Coordinators couldn’t live in peace with us!

Yzak:

I am willing to forget what happened today just for the return of the Galactic Goodwill Ambassador she is a key icon of ZAFT and has gained much respect amongst the Earth Alliance as well. The deadline is noon today PLANT time if Lacus Clyne isn’t returned Minerva MKII will be deployed.

Athrun: Whoever captured Lacus exploited this fact to divide the Earth Alliance and ZAFT!

Kira: A battle is imminent, this is tense Lacus or ORB

Athrun: ORB!

Kira: Very well contact Imari! Prepare the Archangel for investigation! Transfer Nozomi (Hope) and Guardian onto the deck at once! This is an order!!

Meyrin: The President of the United States has prepared a press conference!


President of the United States: I am Daniel Stevenson the President of the United States. As the key figure of the Earth Alliance I would like to make a point clear. Galactic Goodwill Ambassador Lacus Clyne was never, NEVER held in custody by the Earth Alliance

Chairman Jule this is an insult that the Alliance can not bear! I even have a suspicion that you have hidden Lacus for your own endeavours. However I respect the peace we had over the last two years Lacus Clyne helped us understand Coordinators better and we treat her like our own!

I hope you can reconsider your decision or we would have no alternative than to start another war!

Athrun: Politics at its best! Yzak’s a no bullshit type there must be something wrong

(The door knocks, Imari has arrived wearing her custom uniform her proportions are much better than before and her looks have matured to exhibit elegance and beauty)

Kira: Come in!
Imari: Kira Sensei I have heard!
Kira: Follow me to pick up your new mobile suit
Imari: Yes Sensei!

(Although Kira was calm and collected in battle he has managed to train his student to be just as calm and collected outside the cockpit)

Kira, Athrun, Meyrin and Imari leave in a jeep to an underground hangar. The first thing that automatically demanded attention was two machines locked in by restraint hooks on the wall beside the machines was a body of water where the legendary Archangel rested

The mobile suits were the second generation of ORB GUNDAMs

Nozomi looked like Akatsuki but had a glaring silver theme as opposed to the Akatsuki’s gold it had a blue torso unit and matching red decoration lines which matched consistently with the theme.

Guardian however looked completely different with its glossy red, black, blue and white colour scheme it contained an updated version of Akatuskis frame and the most high output power source ever created by ORB it was implanted in Guardian as an experiment and had yield positive results, although it wasn’t nuclear it was the environmentally friendly competitor to the Nuclear Drive in Kira’s Strike Freedom.
Imari: looks up at Guardian
Kira: Guardian has many secrets try to see if you can…..
(Meyrin interrupts Kira)
Meyrin: Kira, Menzies Charlton has arrived
Imari: Menzies?

(Charlton salutes Kira)

Menzies: Menzies Charlton reporting for duty!
Kira: Menzies, Imari take these mobile suits out to find Lacus before the war begins!

mENZIES AND IMARI: (salute) Ha!

Menzies slides up Nozomi and Imari chooses Guardian

(Marrue and Mwu come out from the Archangel)

Kira: Mwu San, Marrue San


Mwu: The Princess has gone missing should be bad news for you but I'm surprised that you're not chasing after the girl yourself like last time.

Kira: As people grow up they have commitments mine is to the people of ORB my love life although deep is insignificant compared to the fate of a nation


Marrue: It’s a shame you can’t come it’s the first time the Archangel left for a battle without you!

Kira: Don’t worry Marrue San once things have been settled I would get Freedom and meet up with you guys as soon as possible

Imari inside the cockpit, the seat upholstery is lined in red with blue harnesses the many controls light up on the flick of a button


Zoom in onto Imari’s screen (on orange back ground)

ORB-03

Galactic
United
Non Nuclear
Dynamic
Adaptive
Module

After keying in her preferences at blinding speed Imari had the Guardian out of the restraint locks and began moving towards the Archangel. After a while the Nozomi is also out of its confinement and it moves towards the Archangel with Guardian

(Music)



Kira: (Depressed) I miss the days where I could just pick up Freedom and do what I please
Athrun: Come on Kira the days of Freedom and Justice should phase out Imari has what it takes.


Credits

Phase Two: Guardian
The Archangel leaves ORB in a quest to find Lacus, the crew decide to take a detour through an asteroid field to reach the EMP site faster. If that wasn't dangerous enough they get attacked by invisible mobile suits......

I've read some of it before, it's half dcent... It follows a girl actually training to become a pilot... I am not sure if it takes place during the OYW though.. But it does take place in the UC timeline....

Yep I did draw it myself got a bit lazy when I did the feet though, i did a concept sketch then I used Akira's Cell method to convert it into a line art like the ones they show you in magazines LOL the file got way huge it got up to 17 Mb

some minor details were changed in the digitalisation process but this was the original

And there is still a few more machines left to design as well Conqueror, Warlord, Tyrant, Grand Buster (Dearka's machine obviously i got big plans for this one), Paradise, Liberty and two more Angel Cluster suits,

That desthscythe one isn't really customized as it's the ver. ka mod that a company made, but still, it's very, very badass. I think it's nice to see people making other real suits out of other kits and not just making some random custom crap up, which is okay, I just like to see real ones every once and a while.

Right now I'm making a RB-79C Ball out of a MG RB-79K. For anyone that doesn't know what those are...

heres something nice Akatsuki kitbashed from MG Strike

user posted image

Posted by: BOZZ Nov 11 2005, 06:21 PM
Just wondering... since it's been mentioned in the last few pages of this thread... But what exactly is kitbash? Is it using another model (or various ones) to build a different model (i.e. using say Strike and Freedom to build an Akatsuki)?

Posted by: Metamorphic Nov 11 2005, 09:18 PM
bingo it basically mutilating another model to build something else or to customise it to a point where it can be its own creation or has its own theme

Posted by: BOZZ Nov 11 2005, 09:24 PM
Nice... I wonder how they did that for the Akatsuki though... ><

Posted by: APX Nov 11 2005, 09:25 PM
So thats what kitbash means... pretty cool.

And I think the Tallgeese should be classified as a gundam... since it's so badass!

Posted by: BOZZ Nov 11 2005, 10:37 PM
LOL... If you classify that as a Gundam just cause it is badass than most of Char's post-OYW suits should be Gundams too tongue.gif

Posted by: ams14 Nov 12 2005, 04:58 AM
IMO Zechs and Char can be tied for the badass. BEcause I forgot Char suits man. His kick ass as well.

Posted by: APX Nov 13 2005, 12:00 AM
I said I couldn't remember the exact name of it... so I just took a wild guess right now.

Posted by: Akira Nov 13 2005, 12:52 AM
They're only gundams when armored with Gundarium Alloy, which is why Hyaku Shiki wasn't a gundam, it had the whole look, but no gundam. wink2.gif
But in response to what bozz said earlier, beleive it or not, they didn't make any models of the original Ball.. which at this point in time, and considering it's popularity, is really really sad. But at least they have MGs of latter Ball models, like my trusty RB-79K. happy.gif
EDIT: Noticing the gundam look up top. Since the gold is a rip-off of Hyaku Shiki's reflective armor(which seed has a tendancy to do, rip-off everything else), it's not gundarium alloy. So if that thing is called a gundam, I will officially hate gundam seed EVEN more....
Someone please fill me in.

Posted by: Metamorphic Nov 13 2005, 04:10 AM
In SEED a GUNDAM is classified by its software apparently so Akira to disappoint u even more that thing called Akatsuki is in fact a Gundam

Posted by: Akira Nov 13 2005, 10:47 AM
In this case I have to dub for people everywhere who feel like me, SEED, as no longer gundam. It's abandoned every brilliant scheme and theory that made Gundam so great, except one I think, but someone here can still prove me wrong, the beam particle theory.
ps: SEED has so far abandoned:
Gundarium Alloy
Minovsky Particle theory
Physics

What next? mad.gif

Posted by: BOZZ Nov 13 2005, 11:34 AM
Isn't gundamium alloy a Gundam Wing thing?

Posted by: Legend of Speed Nov 13 2005, 11:58 AM
Yes, it is that Gundamium alloy is in Wing. A Gundam is a Gundam when it has the legendary V fin, the red chin, 2 colored eyes, etc. In that case, a Gundam is a Gundam by it's acronym in SEED/Destiny.

And Akatsuki is a Gundam. Only Gundams in SEED/Destiny seems to have the special acronyms

And what I hate about C.E. is that the technology advances so quick, while in U.C. it took them about 60+ years to invent the beam shields. So in the 3rd series of SEED there won't be any new things probably.

Posted by: BOZZ Nov 13 2005, 12:28 PM
Maybe there might be Beam Gundams by then? Gundams made of beams!

Posted by: haspieuw Nov 13 2005, 12:40 PM

but in GS hyperion also had beam shield

It wasn't wing specific. Think about all the gundams, they don't all follow what legend described, EZ-8 for example.
Even in the original UC storyline they used Gundarium alloy armor. Hence the remarkable strongness of them all. If you don't believe me look up tech specs, they'll all over the net, and then they have those tech manuals.
On a side not, Turn A is kind of like that, little to no internal mechanisms. laugh.gif

Nevermind... Didn't notice Akira said "Gundarium" NOT "Gundamium" (the latter being what Wing suits were made of).

Sadly I don't own any gundam MGs, but I do own gundams of that scale, and every picture I see posed a little originally just looks toyish, and their feet are usually supporting it on an angle. So my question is did you not pose it right or are master grades not as good as I'm expecting? sad.gif

Posted by: Metamorphic Nov 14 2005, 05:06 AM
I couldnt find the right angle on my camera the pose i had them in originally was much nicer and sinister and the pose is supposed to be an imitation

Im not very good at photography unfortunately so sadly its not the MG scales fault but my fault! hehehehehe

Posted by: BOZZ Nov 14 2005, 07:10 AM
Either way Meta those are some nice shots of the MG Strike... Damn now if I only had the money to get that new Zeta model kit smile.gif

Posted by: Akira Nov 14 2005, 12:43 PM
New..? There hasn't been a new Zeta kit for 2 years I think..
Meta, I wasn't getting at that. I'm just talking about the posability of the model, like the way it's feet are on an angle and not flat on the ground. Can it do that or not? If it can't it'll disappoint me. But as for the pose I know which one your talking about and it looks fine to me, especially that second pic. :]

Posted by: BOZZ Nov 14 2005, 01:07 PM
There's a 2.0 coming out... or is out... Then again I am not sure if it's MG or not.... But a lot of Zeta suits are being re-released to commemorate (sp?) Gundam Zeta: A New Translation.

Posted by: Akira Nov 14 2005, 03:06 PM
2.0 is soon, I hope.
2.0 of Mk2 was just released, the 1 and 1.5 of Zeta just seemed weak to me, but seeing what Mk2 was like, it should be amazing. Maybe I'll even, get this, BUY IT!! ohmy.gif

Posted by: Metamorphic Nov 14 2005, 03:53 PM
MKII v2.0 is supposed to be the forerunner of a new generation of MG kits it has a more complex skeletal system than standard MGs, MGs r now leaning towards the PG scale but less complex and detailed


Posted by: Akira Nov 14 2005, 08:20 PM
Once again I know all that, I own MGs, I was asking about the ankle joints on Strike. lol
And I agree about the new generation of MGs we even saw quite a few before Mk2 2.0 that foreshadowed this new generation. Such as Ball, Acguy, and those new OYW kits, as well as the two GW kits. happy.gif

Posted by: Metamorphic Nov 14 2005, 08:40 PM
Sadly I don't own any gundam MGs,

dude u r confusing me hahahaha and then u say Once again I know all that, I own MGs


anyway just to answer your question the ankles r very solid and rotate bend etc better than alot ive built

Posted by: Akira Nov 14 2005, 08:44 PM
**GUNDAM MGs. lol, my bad, I have a gelgoog and a ball MG wise.
I was asking about the ankles because they weren't bent very much in your photos. Sorry again. I would post images of mine but maybe I should keep this to gundam general instead of modeling, no? But hey if people want. tongue.gif

Posted by: Metamorphic Nov 14 2005, 09:22 PM
LOL so u mean specifically MG Gundam Mobile Suits well to tell u the truth the ankle posibility actually differs from one model to another the best I got is the Wing Zero to support the weight of the wings but I hardly use those joings because i keep the model on its stand


I place things on their stand more these days it sort of like a prerequisite now looks better for display requisite the Gold plate Hyakushiki and the 20th Anniversary edition Zeta were exceptions


And yeah feel free to post pics of your models Akira Im sure theyll be very good!

Posted by: Akira Nov 15 2005, 03:09 PM
If that's what you think you'll be suprised. I don't have my airbrush yet, I'm hoping to get it this holiday season. grin2.gif
But what I can show you all very soon is why you should paint your model quickly and not take breaks, for there are great wear-down effects to be had! I lost a whole model to it, still trying to figure out how to fix it without ruining the model.
But I bet you guys'll love my MGs, especially Ball. grin2.gif

Hey, Bozz. You can order them from hobby link japan. Typing the website doesn't seem to work, but if you search for it on google and click the url it works.
They have X-1 through X-3 as a b-club resin kit.. which is bloody expensive, but they should also have the very nice action figure which would would probably suit you better. Price and all.
EDIT: Legend, I recently bought the 1/100 version of that suit for a friend of mine, it looks like an.. interesting model, but question, does it light up or are those effects?

Posted by: Legend of Speed Nov 16 2005, 09:36 PM
Those are just the transparent beams. Like the clear beam for beam sabers. It be cool if they gave special effects for a 1/144 HG.

Posted by: AE86 Levin Nov 16 2005, 10:47 PM
I personally like 08th MS Team Best. I dunno but i thought it had a better storyline than the other gundam series even if it was only 11 episodes not counting Last Resort and Miller's Report. Good romance storyline, definetly a change than from your normal anime romance. The animation was all so really good too, really good music too. I liked the closing theme alot, Elador's song is also really good. Shiro was one of the best Gundam characters ever IMO. Really funny with him at the scene at the waterfall where he first meets Kiki.

Legend, doi, make me feel like an idiot, huh? laugh.gif I know it's clear plastic.

Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me. I will try to post my episode 3 tonight. wink2.gif

EDIT

Gundam SEED: Rise to Glory

Episode 3 - Tensions Rising

"Where am I?" said the girl

"Well well, looks like you have waken up" said the hospital doctor

"Is the little boy ok?" said the girl

a short pause

"I'm sorry, but the little boy passed away a couple of hours ago, but you did the best you could by trying to rescue him" said the doctor

"NO! It can't be, I use my body to shield him from the falling debris! I should be the one that is not breathing right now!" said the girl

"I was wondering about that myself. You shouldn't even be alive at the moment, but somehow you manage to survive. We did a couple of tests on you to see if you have an broken bones and any sickness. Stay in your bed. I will be right back" said the doctor

"Doctor Ender!" yelled the nurse

"Yes, what is it?" asked Doctor Ender

"You won't beleive what I just found!" yelled the nurse

"Wait a minute this test.... her DNA is much different from a normal Natural or Coordinator!"

"Does this mean she was tested by the Blue Cosmos or some lab? Or is she a test subject on some cruel experiment?" questioned the nurse

"Contact Representative Cagalli Yula Atha" commanded Dr. Ender

Meanwhile back at ORB's Royal Housings

"Cagalli, there's an important message here from the Evergreen hospital" said Mwu

Mwu hands her the phone. Cagalli seems shocked to what she has heard.

"Contact Kira quickly Mwu!" yelled Cagalli

"What the hell, what for?" asked Mwu

"Something has happen that Kira might want to know about. Contact him quickly!" commanded Cagalli

"Where's Kira in the first place? I haven't talked to him in about 2 weeks" asked Mwu

"He's at the Orphanage home with Lacus and Athrun" said Cagalli

Phone rings at the Orphanage, but the house is so noisy by the little kids playing with their toys, games, etc. But Lacus finnaly manage to hear it and picks up

"Hello, this is Lacus speaking, how may I help you?" asked Lacus

"Hey Lacus, it's Mwu. Is Kira there? I really need to talk to him" said Mwu

"Yeah, he's here" said Lacus

Lacus hands the phone to Kira

"Hello, what's the matter Mwu?" asked Kira

"Kira, the leading doctor at Evergreen Hospital claims he has a female patient that has a DNA identical to yours, but not fully." said Mwu

Kira looks shocked and his eyes wide open in disbelief

"Mwu, this isn't a very funny joke you're trying to pull on me. Are you sure?" questioned Mwu

"I'm positive, we need you to head down to the Evergreen Hospital quickly. Cagalli and I are going there as we speak" said Mwu

"Lacus, there's something I need to take care of." said Kira

"Kira? What kind of things are you speaking?" questioned Lacus

"Something that can maybe change someones life" said Kira

"Well, I'm going with you Kira." said Lacus

"Lacus, you need to stay here and watch the children" ordered Kira

Kira hugs Lacus and goes into his car. The car leaves and Lacus stands by the doorway watching the car drive off

Meanwhile at the Evergreen Hospital. The girl is starting to sweat and her eye lids are starting to turn purple

"Dr. Ender, there's something wrong with patient #4!" yelled the nurse

Meanwhile Cagalli, Mwu, and Kira finnaly arrives and walks into the door talking

"I am Cagalli Yula Atha. I been told that there's something wrong here?" asked Cagalli

"Yes, the patient is in room #144" said the nurse

Cagalli orders the Royal ORB guards to stay at the lobby and tells Mwu and Kira to come with her

"Miss Cagalli!" yelled Dr. Ender surprisingly

"What's wrong with her?" yelled Kira

"This is what I contacted you about Miss Cagalli and Mr. Yamato. She seems to have the same DNA structure as yours" said Dr. Ender

The girl is starting to turn aggressively and getting into a state of shock

"Hold her down! Get the medicine from cabinet C55." yelled Dr. Ender

The nurse ejects the vaccine into her arm, but it seems it doen't work. Mwu and Cagalli can't bear to stand and watch her. They try to bear with it

"Dr. Ender was there anything that she was carrying when you found her?" asked Kira

"Yes, she was carrying this blue bag and it seems like she was living out of her bag for quite sometime" said Dr. Ender

"Try looking for any containers that has any capsule pills" commanded Kira

Mwu finds the pills and gives 2 of them to Kira. Kira puts it into her mouth and she calms down. After 20 minutes she went back to normal

"Hey there, what's your name?" asked Cagalli

"Who are you people? And I don't have a name." said the girl confusingly

"Do you know what you are?" asked Kira

"I was told a long time ago when I was 9 (she is now 19) that I was somethine called the Ultimate Coordinator and I was made to be the successor of someone named Kira Yamato. My mission was to elimenate him" said the girl

Everyone looks shock and took one step back. Cagalli and Kira look at each other.

"Do you feel like you have to accomplish your mission now?" asked Kira

"No, not really since my master said I was one of the best he has done" said the girl

"ONE of the best?" questioned Kira

"Yes" said the girl

"Who's your master?" asked Cagalli

"I think his name was Gilbert Dullindal and my brother is Rey Za Burrel" said the girl

Kira turns petrified and has a flashback at the Messiah with his encounter with Rey and Dullindal

"Well, Rey wasn't really my brother, but we both looked out for one another" said the girl

"Ok, you seemed like you been on the run for a while. How about we go for lunch outside?" asked Cagalli

"Hold up and wait. She's still my patient Miss Cagalli you can't just take her out for lunch like that!" yelled Dr. Ender

"Calm down Doctor and use your indoor voice" commanded Mwu

"Doctor let me talk to you alone" asked Cagalli

Cagalli, Kira, and Dr. Ender walks outside of the room. Cagalli asks Dr. Ender if he can make copies of those capsule pills she had in her bag and try to find a way to get her off the pills and still be norma. Kira says he will guide her into the world and put her under his guidenace as her guardian. Dr. Ender agrees and let them go

"Well, I gave her a name if that's ok" said Mwu

"So what's her new name Mwu?" asked Cagalli

"Her name for now on is Stellar" said Mwu


Well, that's episode 3, I hope you guys like it. Give any feedback please.

Not bad not bad so intense!

My brother is Rey Za Burrel and Ive been sent to kill a dude called Kira Yamato! LOL I finished the Tsecond installment too!

Phase 2: Guardian


(Rerun Lacus being held captive, Yzak’s press conference, Imari boarding Guardian)

(Song)

(On board the Archangel)

Newman: Archangel online, we are ready to launch captain

Marrue: Remove restraint arms, Archangel LAUNCH!!!!!!

(The Archangel gallantly climbs the sky)

Marrue: We need to be fast if it wasn’t for Lacus san I wouldn’t have done this Longengrins FIRE!!!!!

The hatches open on command. The cannons charge and release a massive load of raw energy, like a slingshot effect the Archangel left the Earth’s atmosphere at blurring speed.

From a panoramic glass Imari sits back and admires the view of the Earth slowly leaving behind her, Marrue walks by,

Marrue: Mind if I take a seat?
Imari: Not at all Captain please!

Marrue takes the seat next to Imari

Marrue: How is your first trip outside Earth?

Imari: The lack of gravity is amazing and I never thought the Earth can look this beautiful Captain!

Marrue: Like your Kira Sensei call me Marrue!

Imari: (blushing) Yes Marrue San…Where is the Archangel off to now this doesn’t seem to be Lacus Sama’s route, are we meeting up with the rest of the 2nd Space Fleet?

Marrue: This is a classified mission we wont have any reinforcements until we meet up with Minerva MKII to speed up the meeting time we are heading towards uncharted airspace in which we believe to be an asteroid field

(Menzies floats by and salutes Marrue but shuns Imari, Imari looks uneasy, until Menzies is out of view Marrue speaks)

Marrue: Dispute already? I heard you two were highly competitive in the academy?

(Flashback to the Murasame scene from the start and various clips from the academy)

Imari: We were good friends in academy and also rivals we were at a tie in scores I earned my last nine points by defeating Menzies in a mobile suit duel. Subsequently I took away his dream of becoming the first recruit to score one hundred percent in elite military training school.

Marrue: He is the type that would do anything to achieve his goals just like his cousin Cagalli. Though you two are at dispute at the moment the Arch Angel may be heading towards a difficult enemy the crew requires your combined efforts please don’t let your past conflicts ruin your field cooperation!

Monitor flicks on to reveal Milliaria’s image.

Milly: Captain we have reached the asteroid field we require your presence on the bridge.

Marrue: I’ll be there shortly Milliaria San (turns off monitor) Imari San get Guardian ready I’ll call Menizes Kun to back you up

The camera pans to an exterior shot of the Archangel maneuvering through the asteroid field the camera continues to show a large stretch of space rock until it reaches mid point where silhouetted figures were carrying asteroids to Hades which was located three quarters into the asteroid field.

Exodus: It is fortunate that we have found an asteroid field; with Hades’ onboard mining equipment we can quickly extract asteroid fuel and various cosmic metals for resupply. But most importantly we need to unload all our smaller ships back to the Cluster they are falling short.

Vladimir: Asteroids are the key mining ore of a cosmic nation’s economy ever since that rebel Xavier took over 75% of Angel Cluster’s fields in that vile ambush our economy has been declining in contrast with Supreme X and Colony Y.

If this keeps up Angel Cluster will be crippled and Xavier would take over the throne.

(Angel Cluster, Supreme X and Colony Y are the three cosmic nations)

Xena: This campaign was drafted so we can cause tension among the Naturals and Coordinators and in the state of conflict take over their resource hotspots and provide Angel Cluster with a wealth of resources to last a few generations.

Exodus and Vladimir nod in agreement, Exodus strides over to the bar and pours red wine into three crystal wine glasses

Exodus: A toast to our victory! (Raises wine glass)

Xena, Vladimir and Exodus: For Angel Cluster!

From the moment the glasses clink the camera moves above the ceiling to reveal a prison cell. Inside the cell is a female prison guard with Lacus’ clothing balled up under her arm. Lacus is left in only her matching blue rimmed white bra and panties. she can only wait for reinforcements.

Prison Guard: I’m sorry to do this my lady but this is regulation of Angel Cluster to check for any concealed communication devices or weapons.

As the prison guard walks away with Lacus’ clothes, Lacus cradles her long slender legs and stares into space,

Lacus: Kira…

(Lacus begins to sing her new song and as she is singing we see Kira holding a training session with Athrun and their squads we see the mighty Strike Freedom and Infinite Justice in a mock duel and the team members follow their instructors elaborate moves.

When the session is over Kira returns to his house to be greeted by Pink Chan)

Pink Chan: Kira!!!!!!

Kira catches Pink Chan

Kira: Lacus……..


I’m thinking of you, until the end of time
I shall wait for our reunion

To embrace the memories we had gives me hope
Your smile gives me warmth

We may be worlds apart but I’m thinking of you
The sands of time may flow but our love is still there

As I wait for our reunion time flies by,
I shall not falter for I know you will be there for me

Milliaria: We have completed close to half of the predetermined course
Newman: The incoming asteroids are large and hard to outmaneuver and coming in fast
Mwu: Lovely a constant stretch of space rock, what a view!

(Bridge crew laugh at Mwu’s light humour in such a tense situation)

(Imari’s image appears on the screen to reveal Guardians cockpit she is wearing a red, black and white pilots suit)

Imari: Marrue San, I have customized Guardian for cosmic maneuverability, I am ready to launch anytime to support the Archangel in removing any deterrent asteroids.

Marrue: Thanks Imari San, prepare to launch

(Heroines fanfare music)

The Archangels linear catapult opens Imari presses the Mirror Coating Control the Mobile Suit’s armour becomes ultra glossy the eyes light up in a radiant blue.

Pan behind the Guardian to reveal secondary booster ignition

Imari: Imari Meiji, GUNDAM, Launching!

The Guardian slides until the end of the platform, departs, spins in the air and the primary booster ignites


Marrue: I remember Kira said that on his official launch too!

Imari senses something wrong with her mobile suits operations.

Imari: This is a GUNDAM the speed output is shocking, must be because my customisation went wrong.

Imari flips down her keyboard but to her surprise the simulation she keyed in was perfect

Imari: Maybe it’s my imagination.

With her mind distracted on the customisation she wasn’t aware of a massive boulder coming into her direction

(BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP)

The warning lights on the head rest of her pilot’s seat light up

Imari: That’s one huge rock!!

Imari slides the boost gauge to red the Guardian escalates into the air, the wings extend and fold over to fire a twin blast.

The asteroid explodes to tiny fragments in a massive pink explosion

Mwu: Woah! That was a close call!

Imari: It wasn’t my imagination…


(BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP)

Imari: Not again! What the? Those aren’t rocks!!! Those are…..

Two purple beams came hurtling towards the Guardian’s orientation with pin-point accuracy; the beams made contact with the mirror armour and bounced back two simultaneous explosions followed.

Imari: Prepare for the first stage of alert we are under attack!!

Marrue: What?

(In deep thought) I can’t see them; my radar isn’t picking up anything

Flashback

Imari: What if I can’t see the enemy?
Kira: Mobile suit’s operation isn’t just about vision and radar it’s about senses!
End of Flashback

Imari closes her eyes, the audience sees the transparent shape of an incoming Zealot, aiming towards the Guardian, The Zealots engines aren’t noisy like standard mobile suits instead they make a faint whirring sound.

Imari’s eyes spring open

Imari: That’s not what my mobile suits engine sounds like you fool!

The Guardian spins around and kicks off a head. The cloak fails to reveal a headless navy blue and white mobile suit similar to an Earth Alliance Windam but much more aerodynamic and sinister

These Zealots are only Mining Zealots they have minimal weaponry but a Stealth Cloak to avoid detection.

The Guardian then rips out its twin sabers and cuts off one arm twists around and hacks off the other arm performs a u-turn and severs the legs.

Grunt pilot: What? Such skill……

Marrue: First stage of alert, Activate the Gottfrieds and Valiants fill all missile bays with Sledgehammer missiles, Nozomi launch!

(Menzies is wearing a full blue pilot’s suit will silver lining)

Menzies: Menzies Charlton, Nozomi, Departing!

As the Nozomi leaves the linear catapult Imari’s image comes onto Menzies screen

Imari: Menzies the enemy is in a stealth mode its different to Mirage Colloid however their engines can easily give away there location keep your ears tuned for a faint droning sound

Menzies: Understood

Imari notices the faint buzzing sound of an incoming enemy behind her there wasn’t enough clearance

Imari: Crap! Menzies let me use your armour for a second
Menzies: Ha?

Imari fires a twin blast towards Nozomi as the parallel beams made contact with the Nozomis armour the immediate ricochet effect followed

Menzies: Imari What the hell are you doing?!!!

Imari: Hope there’s sufficient boost GO!

Imari slides the boost to max and kicked the foot pedal firmly. The Guardian jets off into space, Imari’s twin blast effectively hit the first thing behind her which was the Mining Zealot which blew up in yet another pink explosion

Menzies: Good move!!! Don’t you worry Imari I’m sure to relay shots off Guardian as well now to pay back the favour!

Imari: (in thought) [Great one-upmanship just like in the academy ah the good ole days]
Open up your download channels I’m going to send you a present

Menzies: Ooooh! I can do with a present (presses a switch on the left hand side)

Imari’s screen- Sending Angle Reflection Code to ORB-02…….. Sending in progress

Menzies: What this is the code that Professor Simmons and General Yamato wrote that can reflect beams off to any given angle from any ORB series mobile suit!

Imari and Menzies relay beams at each other and the beams deflect in all different angles
Explosions follow but the enemy doesn’t seem to waver (from the viewers view point the silhouette of the Mining Zealots is still present.)



Menzies: How many of them are there? They just keep coming!

Imari connects the Guardian’s beam sabers and throws the javelin it pierces through a Zealots head, Imari then chases after it and catches the weapon in mid-flight.

Imari: I know these suits are cheaply made though their armour is just a little better than an Astray but their technology is very advanced the suits are very fast, all the pilots reactions are good too we just forced them into awkward situations where they are bound to be hit. If we were in an one on one the story may be a bit different

Menzies: I noticed that too any plans Wonder Girl?


From afar a set of flares have been fired the battle has ended.

Imari: Finished? Archangel this is Imari, Nozomi and Guardian are returning from battle

Milliaria: Please proceed

Nozomi and Guardian fly in through the hatch, the pilkots climb down from their respective mobile suits.

Menzies wraps his arm around Imari and smiles warmly

Imari: (smiles) Not angry with me anymore hey?

Menzies: Not particularly weren’t you the one that was angry with me for some unknown reason?

Imari: What the? You’re the one that has been snobbing me! I never was mad at you!

Menzies: So I’ve been thinking you were getting up yourself for being number one, but in reality you’re still the Imari that I knew in academy!
Talk about a pointless misunderstanding!

Imari: HAHAHA! Before Murdoch San gets mad lets check our mobile suits quickly and catch up with the lost time!

Menzies nods in agreement

The screen fades

Hades has already left the asteroid zone without being detected


Onboard Hades

Exodus: It’s too early for Hades to be exposed or to officially engage into battle this isn’t a retreat rather a move towards the future next target Aprilius!

(Lays down a tiny Angel Cluster flag on top of Aprilius on a map of PLANT)

(Credits)

Phase 3 Sync Lock Spoiler- Imari finds Guardian to be faulty and not performing at its optimum rate, after accessing through the OS she stumbles across Sync Lock a program that defines the limits allowed for any custom simulation. Imari finds that all the functions on the Guardian have been reigned in to only 1/3 of the EcoEngine’s full capacity.

not bad but a bit too plastic for my liking the lightning 1/60 Strike Freedom looks good (may break my MG streak) and so does the v2.0 MKII

that strike freedom looks awesome meta...any rough guess of the price i'll needa pay for one of those? laugh.gif

Posted by: Akira Nov 22 2005, 04:01 PM
Even I admit the thing looks good, I especially like the box art for the model. But the suit itself I find a bit dumb, reflective armor on it's joints? laugh.gif laugh.gif
But one thing's for sure, that destiny is deffinately not better than the 1/100.. tongue.gif

Posted by: Legend of Speed Nov 22 2005, 04:33 PM
It's better then the 1/100

Posted by: Akira Nov 23 2005, 05:13 AM
In what way?
Only thing I've seen that the 1/100 doesn't have is the clear parts for the wings.. everything else is naturally NOT better than the 1/100. Unless you've seen the comparison or own both, you should really look into it before claiming that.
http://211.233.38.221/dalong/seed/d8/d8_p.htm for a review on the 1/100, unpainted.

Posted by: haspieuw Nov 23 2005, 07:28 AM
that HG destiny does look good .. especially the WoL
and also the hands with beam palms with wide fingers soo it looks like the shining finger

I already seen the 1/100 HG Destiny, I was just joking and now you can hush up and it's my opinion.

Posted by: BOZZ Nov 23 2005, 01:21 PM
Heh... I am still waiting on a 1/60 or 1/100 Infinite Justice...

Posted by: Legend of Speed Nov 23 2005, 03:32 PM
The 1/100 HG Legend is suppose to come out when the 1/100 HG Infinite does.

Posted by: BOZZ Nov 23 2005, 03:39 PM
What? No MG Infinite Justice?

Posted by: Legend of Speed Nov 23 2005, 03:54 PM
Who knows. Time will tell and don't MGs usually get made when the 1/100 of a certain Gundam gets good sales? Like I know for sure when Freedom Gundam came in the picture in the original Gundam SEED it had good sales from the 1/144 and 1/100 and soon they made the MG Freedom. Same thing when the 1/100 MG Freedom Gundam Extra Finish came out this year.

Posted by: haspieuw Nov 23 2005, 03:56 PM
well there is a MG Nemo coming with the same structure as the Mk2

Also being reported on 2ch is that the hobby mags announced a special program consisting of a compilation of all 50 episodes of SEED DESTINY plus a new "after episode", "Erabareta Mirai" ("The Chosen Future"), that will be broadcast on Christmas.

UPDATED: It will air past midnight on Christmas. The new after episode will reveal the path of Shinn, Kira and Athrun after the battle.
TBS 1:50am-2:45am Christmas
MBS 12:30am-1:25am

I am not sure whether to be happy about a Special Episode or to be sad.... ><

Posted by: Legend of Speed Nov 23 2005, 07:19 PM
Who knows maybe this special episode might have a cliff hanger to lead up to the 3rd SEED series.

Posted by: BOZZ Nov 23 2005, 08:33 PM
That could happen... I wonder if the 3rd series would start with episode 1 being a recap? tongue.gif

Posted by: Legend of Speed Nov 23 2005, 08:45 PM
Ah yes of course. C.E. is known for their recap episodes and legendary Freedom Gundam and battle reused scenes. 1st episode that recaps original SEED and Destiny what a great way to start off a new series. LOL.

Posted by: Metamorphic Nov 24 2005, 04:25 AM
anyway if its got Kira in it I'm watching it!

Posted by: BOZZ Nov 24 2005, 11:26 AM
Then again they could go the route of ZZ and have episode 1 just be a 20-minute gunpla promo...

I hope theres no more Kira at all. I rather have a new set of characters and Shnn had so much potential as the main character and be the anti-hero, but no Fukuda went with what the fans demanded. I want a fresh 3rd series of SEED with new faces. I don't mind have Kira being a cameo in some episode, but not as the main character. I hope Kira and Athrun pass down the Infinite Justice and Strike Freedom to somebody, but mostly 2 Naturals.

Posted by: haspieuw Nov 24 2005, 11:36 AM
the last ep without kira isnt really possible since kira has such huge fanbase in japan

Posted by: Legend of Speed Nov 24 2005, 11:40 AM
Yes, I know. I'm a Kira fan myself, but it gets retarded when he gets so godly and crap. Makes me want to choke Fukuda.

Actually what they should do is start the series with Athrun killing Kira off or something really big like that and have Athrun be a bad guy or something... or better off just kill Kira...

Although with Fukada's comments that Kira and Lacus have strayed away from true justice I would like to see them painted as the true villains they are and that Athrun goes his own way and is no longer such a wimp...

Posted by: Akira Nov 24 2005, 07:45 PM
You really must hate Kira to want THAT so badly. laugh.gif
I have a question, why so much SEED? Even for those people thatlike SEED like all you crazy people(hah, jk laugh.gif ) Why so much?! To other alternate universe got this much attention, especially enough to make a whole second series, not to mention a gimmick to sell model kits. Now I don't mean to SEED bash all the time but come on! Really now.. it's not very good, that's my opinion but I say it only because I'm a true die-heard gundam fan that feels gundam is shamed now because of SEED, like many MANY others.. Can someone please explain to me?

Posted by: Legend of Speed Nov 24 2005, 09:39 PM
A lot of people like SEED because it's the newest and it looks "better" then the rest of the Gundam series. Most of the SEED fans are usually teenagers who haven't seen the older series. So they judge the series mostly on looks of the characters and Gundams probably. C.E. is an alright series, but the bad part is... well I already posted the bad part in the earlier pages.

Posted by: crazyman Nov 24 2005, 11:36 PM
Destiny sucked huevos...every episode there was a flashback and kira knew exactly what to do in every situation all he did was look at lacus and nod..then he saved the day or what ever... dry.gif

Posted by: Akira Nov 25 2005, 05:29 AM
When SEED first came out my first reaction as a fan was to get it and watch it, I have half a dvd collection. lol
But what makes me not like it, and don't get me wrong, not everything is bad about it, I'm quite jealous that a series I don't like got such a great soundtrack and great animation. What I don't like is the extreme amounts of unoriginality, and the stupidity in it's mechanical design. Gundam for me has always been great because all of the things you saw seemed more possible then other things you see, then SEED comes along and messes that up. It got rid of classic theories that made gundam good, and I beleive I mentioned unoriginality, that counts for everything, story, suits, all of it. Just watching the original MSG you can see striking similarities in the storyline. But I find that SEED is more like MSG meets Gundam X.. But enough with my SEED rantings, that's just it.

Posted by: haspieuw Nov 25 2005, 09:39 AM
i think fukuda give too much credits for the kira fanboyism too much fanservice and that really makes GSD bad ...

Now I don't mean to SEED bash all the time but come on! Really now.. it's not very good, that's my opinion but I say it only because I'm a true die-heard gundam fan that feels gundam is shamed now because of SEED, like many MANY others.. Can someone please explain to me?

Well his character was fine in the original Seed... It's just how he was portrayed in Destiny... Although based on Fukuda's recent discussion about Seed, I could very well see Kira as a bad guy (with Lacus) in a 3rd installment...

What's interesting is that Bandai actually apparently went to Tomino to direct the new series and/or assist Fukuda and he refused point blank...

Posted by: Metamorphic Nov 26 2005, 03:43 AM
Unfortunately Tomino has given up on Gundam he thinks the future of Gundam isnt looking too bright if it keeps up as it is. He thinks the only way to save the franchise is to let fresh new talent into the industry because oldies like (cough cough) Fukada are bound to copy past ideas and fall under pressure to outrageous demands either from fans or management

Posted by: Akira Nov 26 2005, 09:56 AM
He's damn right.
I couldn't see Tomino on a SEED series anyway.

Posted by: BOZZ Nov 28 2005, 07:30 AM
Hey you never know... It would have been interesting to see him do it... If he had worked on Original Seed you most likely would not have seen the Freedom appear... ever... And if he was depressed enough we'd see maybe only Kira and Athrun survive...

kill them Tomino strikes back in Seed

XD

Posted by: BOZZ Nov 28 2005, 08:24 AM
Can you just imagine how awesome Seed would have been if it had Director: Yoshiyuki Tomino instead of just Created by: Yoshiyuki Tomino....

More news on the extra episode

Yeah I saw that today on Gunota.... It's half recap though apparently...

has anyone seen the first serie MSG ?

Posted by: HazelGuy Dec 9 2005, 03:34 AM
Over watching Seed (Dubbed) , Le Creuset became my favourite villain of any show I have ever watched. The accent makes him sound truly evil and indifferent whenever its needed and turns beautifully psychotic towards the end of the show.

In fact, all round the voice acting I thought was fantastic, I'm not normally fussed about whether I watch the subbed or dubbed version of an anime, unless the dubbing it really bad or I hate a particular character's voice and watch the subs instead. Mwu's voice suited him perfectly, but Le Creuset was just awesome.

Posted by: Metamorphic Dec 10 2005, 06:25 AM

Nice... Then definetly watch it... You might have to deal with okay HK subs but it's definetly worth watching it...

Posted by: haspieuw Dec 10 2005, 08:34 AM
well its cantonese dubbed soo its not a problem

Posted by: BOZZ Dec 10 2005, 08:50 AM
Either way the TV series is good if you can handle the older animation...

Posted by: haspieuw Dec 10 2005, 11:06 AM
well the MS does look funny sometimes their arms are bigger then the body and sometimes the head is too big ... the same with the zakus tongue.gif

Posted by: BOZZ Dec 10 2005, 11:09 AM
Yeah there are times in the TV series where that happens... I am almost tempted to start watching the TV series now... ><

Posted by: haspieuw Dec 10 2005, 12:39 PM

Posted by: BOZZ Dec 10 2005, 02:20 PM
I agree on that kitbash... It looks lame...

Posted by: Akira Dec 10 2005, 02:57 PM
I agree. Lameness. It's a sign! laugh.gif
jkjk

Posted by: BOZZ Dec 10 2005, 03:33 PM
LOL... I wonder what other lame stuff Gundam kits have been kitbashed into...

Posted by: Metamorphic Dec 11 2005, 05:54 AM
Destiny Mouse? What drugs are they on!!!!!!!

but nice find 'Spieuw!

Posted by: BOZZ Dec 11 2005, 06:56 AM
I forgot to mention I finished up 0083 a few days ago... I found it to be a decent Gundam series, but pretty damn good for an OVA, started watching Victory... feels so much like a 0079 x Zeta-like series...

Posted by: Akira Dec 11 2005, 09:09 PM
It wasn't much of a kitbash, but I saw a hygogg once, that was modelled by someone that's never heard of gundam in his life. He put it into a diorama that was all in 1/35. Looked funny to me.

Posted by: BOZZ Dec 12 2005, 08:17 AM
So anyone going to get that Gundam RPG that's coming out in the US soon?

Posted by: Akira Dec 13 2005, 03:06 PM
Deffinately gonna give it a try. But I dunno, from what I've seen it's not as serious as I'd like.

Posted by: BOZZ Dec 13 2005, 03:37 PM
Well at least there are no Seed suits, so you should be happy... tongue.gif

WTH!? Akira... calm down it's only a Zeta Verison 2... tongue.gif

Posted by: haspieuw Dec 16 2005, 05:53 AM
i wonder what happenend to akira when he first saw the boxat of the MK 2 ?

Posted by: BOZZ Dec 16 2005, 09:22 AM
I think his post is self-explanatory lol...

Speaking of Zeta, finally saw an English subbed version of the movie... and you know the switching between old and new animation wasn't too bad, but the movie feels like if you didn't watch the TV series before you wouldn't really know what the heck is happening at a few points...

BTW: New Evolve was released featuring... The Hyperion and Dreadnought Gundams from Astray X... Hmm... Now that I think about it... Beam technology was available in the original Seed, since Astray X takes place during Seed... and one of the suits in Astray X uses a beam shield... ><

Posted by: haspieuw Dec 16 2005, 03:57 PM
do you have any screenshots , bozzy ?

Posted by: Akira Dec 16 2005, 04:52 PM
I can't wait to hear about the next MG, besides the Nemo that is.
I'd love to see another 2.0! grin2.gif

Posted by: haspieuw Dec 16 2005, 05:29 PM

Posted by: haspieuw Dec 17 2005, 11:12 AM
