The Missing Link posted:

It's definitely more Shining than Burning, I think. The shoulders in other pics I've seen and ankle guards are spot on, while the chest is extremely similar. The yellow vents on either side of the chest are there, though I suspect it's a redesign because they don't need the core lander to stick its nose through to become the cockpit.

Minus the wrist slashers, the limbs look similar to the Shining. I wouldn't be surprised if they had thruster vents that popped open in Burning Mode or whatever.

The blue parts glow orange in "Plavsky enhanced gently caress your poo poo up" mode.

Honestly it's a bunch of different little things. Like, part Shining, part Rising, part Dreadnought, part Sei-worked-his-Gunpla-Builder-magic-to-make-it-break-faces.
And in the end, that's what really matters, right?

You know what I want? Since the GBF-verse is Gundam Valhalla at all, I really want Fumina to meet Treize at some point, possibly by the time she'd need to upgrade her Gunpla.

All just so Treize tells her she's wrong for calling something a "Winning Gundam", and she should strive to be not a winner, but a loser.

And so, Fumina's upgrade appears: The Losing Gundam.

Maybe everyone at the bar Ral (age 35) goes to will have changed fashions to Oz uniforms post time skip, and there will be someone dressed as Treize drinking wine out of a tiny wine glass. I am not sure whether that or Treize just being the new mentor/explainer character would be better.

You know, I'm looking forward to whatever the new soundtrack will be as long as it has some multiple of the passion of ordinary flamenco, but I'm also hoping that they keep at least these two from the first series, just because the first Build Fighters theme is great and the second one I've linked is weird but fits the series well.

Build Fighters had a great soundtrack and I hope season 2's surpasses it. I still can't get over how inspired the choice of flamenco was. It makes no sense and is such a weird choice, but works out Amazingly in practice.

I really hope Build Fight makes it in, or at the very least a remix, because it did a wonderful job of ramping up towards a fight once you hear that countdown start :allears:.

Decided to finally check out the BF manga after that, and much to my surprise it's pretty much like the series. Starts off pretty :geno:, then rapidly gets fun.

The artist is so bad at drawing kids though. It took me a bit to even realize I was looking at Sei and Reiji on the second page of chapter 1.

EDIT: Oh hey, the author is the same person who did the 00 sidestory manga. That's... not very encouraging.

CAPTAIN WORD SALAD

OFF MY MEDS AGAIN PLEASE DON'T USE BIG WORDS

UNNECESSARY LINE BREAK
I finished the show last night. I started watching it because Vkeios was constantly pestering me about it in #retrochat for weeks and since it was free and had robots in it ( plus picking up the Gundam Origin hardbacks anyhow. It's a sign, just not of Zeta.) I gave it a shot and fell in love with it.

(Unlike Kill la Kill where I disliked it and stopped after 2 episodes.)

I mean I like Gunpla and other robot models. I had bought the Double X at Connecticon in July anyhow as I try to get at least 1 robot or model kit there every year and nobody had the Kabaya Transformers kits because I want Overlord but give no fucks about his case mates.

And it was just a fun show full of fun! I think the last anime series I watched was... Uhh... Noein and Gurren Lagann when they were on Sci Fi Channel a few years back? Modern anime just rubs me the wrong way but Build Fighters was great and I maybe got about a third of the references.

Sadly one of them involved the Jar Jars of Gundam not being dead. I will never not hate Quess and Hathaway. ( even if the 105 from Flash might be my favorite Gundam design after Zeta and Turn A..)

Not sure I am looking forward to a sequel with all new cast but I can at least give it a shot.

Plus I have also casually been playing SRW J since it's translated and gba4ios lets me use Nadesico and Combattler V stuff so it's been a perfect Gundam storm as of late. ( Mirrue is cool enough I almost want to give Seed a chance.)

poo poo, I forgot I had even bought the X Divider kit and started to assemble it like 2-3 years ago so now I am putting it together. And it caused me to find the RG Aile Strike I won from a SD Capsule Fighters Facebook contest. That thing's manual scares me and I bought and assembled the original MG 78 kit and the 1/60 Wing Zero.

I'm always learning and trying new things and Build Fighters is encouraging more of it. ( Double X as Elsa from Frozen Custom? With a HarOlaf? My Chaos Chapter in 40k color scheme on the Exia Dark Matter? I should try!)

Now I just want to get and learn how to airbrush. That Orguss kit from the 80s demands it.

(And seriously. Come hang out in IRC.synirc.net in #retrochat . Some retro game nerds cry because we talk about Gundams n poo poo almost more than old vidya.)

Vvvvv. I got a Clear Action Base this week and the Dark Matter Booster. Whenever I get around to it I should be ok. Hg 144s nowadays blow the hell out of the 144s from the mid 90s. I could assemble those in an hour or two. My Unicorn Destroy Mode took close to 7.

Also RG Aile Strike is like, one of the actually solid RGs, don't be afraid of it. I mean it's not ever going to stand on its own with that gently caress huge backpack but you can take it off.

Speaking of backpacks, Captain Rufus, get yourself the RG Skygrasper kit if you like the Aile. It has the other two Striker Packs included with it.

Mr. Ral is censored because having him on two pages would be too much Ral for the average Gundam fan.
