THE GUNDAM THREAD

Sometimes it feels like there's a new gundam series daily. And then I remember I haven't kept up with the series in forever and look at all the shiny new shows and models and drool.
if you want to see the gundams you've missed and gundams you know and love all duke it out in platic model gladiator battles,
Gundam Build FIghters has you covered.
 
Yeah, Gundam and giant robots in general were all over the place in the 90s. But hey, the more sexy giant robots, the better, amirite?

And yeah, I recently started Gundam Build Fighters. It's already got enough to hold my attention.
 
90s gundam saturation is what led to a good series getting its episodes cut
we don't need that happening again
 
speaking of a good series, the PV and descriptions are giving me pleasant Gundam X vibes
Hopefully this goes in a good direction
 
I hope that they give Knuckles a Gundam this time
 
and he tells it to never tell him which way is north.
 
Are you talking about what I think you're talking about ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
latest
maybe
 
So long as the Zaku-esque grunt/boss mobile suits are cool I'm down.
 
so to me, the Grace looks like the child of a Leo, the Sleipnir from Aldnoah.Zero, and an Armored Core unit.

it also has fabulous high heels.
 
Aldnoah kinda ruined Mars for me
let's see if Iron Orphans can redeem it
 
can't be worse than MAGICAL MARS DISEASE DEATH RAYS :PUN:
 
I expect high speed bladed high heel battles.
while the gundam is fighting with beam sabers in it's ninja tabi feet.
JUST LIKE JOHN WAYNE WOULDA DONE!
 
Digging the new tank-like mechas in the new show
 
but are they 6x?
THE PASSION OF ORDINARY FLAMENCO?!
 
anyone else here play MS Gundam Extreme Vs. Full Boost? Yeah its an import game, but its great fun even once you get the online working. I play the 1 Stock Gundam from 0080 (a series I feel I should watch since I'm not familiar with the chars or MS names D:) I get the feeling I'm not playing a high en char, given others are quick to quit matches with me, but whatever, its a ton of slightly clunky Gundam fun! God why don't games like this get localized? Hopefully the advent of westernized Arena fighters is upon us! Given that Dissidia is faily popular and that new Rise of Incarnates game on Steam. Hopefully the Maxi Boost port will get localized. Also hope they do away with Online Pass, cause screw that old money grubbing system.
 
if it's that it's called the EZ8.
or not, I dunno. haven't watched 0080 yet.
 
I...think so? It's the RX-78NT-1 Gundam. It's got "Alex" written on the shield, so I assume that's the gundam's name? The picture you put matches the one from the Wiki. It appears specifically with it's magnetic armor at first
434

It then loses the armor and becomes the base form with more weapons, faster speed, but no super armor, though it does still have a shield (as soon as I figure out how to guard with this game's control scheme).

Going online, I mostly see higher end MS like the Full Armor Unicorn, one of Setsuna's (I need to get around to watching 00), Kira's SEED DESTINY gundam. Not a lot of variation online :/

no, that one is from War in the Pocket.
AKA the David Hayter Gundam series.

I've watched enough Gundam Info to be able to recognize that one.

so, Bandai and Sunrise have said that they have plans for other stuff after Origin and one of the other projects (I forget the name) that they're doing after, specifically 2 of them.

here's hoping for Crossbone and Build Fighters.

Man, my MG Rinascita finally got here. This thing has so many cool little touches to it, it just makes me appreciate how much they manage to get into some of these kits.
