I went to a gundam panel at an anime convention shortly after Unicorn's announcement and everyone just spent, like, a good third of the panel making fun of Full Frontal's name.

This is a great story, but just a reminder to take this sort of thing with a grain of salt—Tomino is notorious for just making poo poo up in interviews and contradicting himself. Like his story about Char Aznable's name origin being like "this guy comes Char-ging in!", vs. the time he freely said at a Western anime con that he was named for Charles Aznavour.

Policenaut posted:Full Flat Okay hold up Woody Malden is actually part of the other genre of Tomino names, the Actually Shockingly Normal Name. Like Todd Guinness, who is from Boston, and you know he's from Boston because his name is Todd Guinness. Most of Tomino's shows have that one character with a normal-rear end name just to prove Tomino does know what human names sound like. Also, for suits for Quattro, I'm surprised there hasn't been some alt-continuity version of something from Gihren's Greed, similar to Casval's Gundam. There have to be scenarios in which Quattro stays with the AEUG and eventually joins Londo Bell, and you'd think they'd have him piloting a gold-colored variant of something from the CCA-era MSVs.

Vizuyos posted:UC Gundam is an absolutely massive setting with a shitton of mecha designs at this point, though, so SRW could easily adopt some weird sidestory mech if they wanted to give somebody something different. Hell, the Full Armor Hyaku Shiki Kai is already a MSV unit; why not adapt the Zeta Plus or ZII as well? The ZII showed up a couple times in the Alpha games but was cursed with being both mediocre and having very poor availability. MP units are just kinda dead weight in SRW without squad/twin units that make outfitting a huge army more important. Pour one out for Z1 where unlocking the Dijeh was actually worth the effort Justin_Brett posted:I give McTomin's name a pass because it's frankly the least ridiculous part about him. The Elite 13 probably sounded like a great idea to Tomino until he had to make 13 of them

The MP Nu is just a recolor so it just comes down to preference really I'm not much of a fan of MP versions of big boy robots, mostly because they tend to strip away everything that made the original robot effective in favor of paper mache armor and a bb gun. MP robots made to be MP from the ground-up are cool though.

The MP Nu Gundam and F91 are the only examples I know of where the MP unit is actually pretty solid. In the Alpha games, they made great squadmates.

Isn't the MP F91 literally just more essentially identical F91s, or do they lack some system that powered up the original? I know they're physically identical, at least. And then there's the victory gundam, which was designed to be MP in the first place.

super-redguy posted:Basically the only thing missing from the MP F91 is the Biocomputer. The MP F91 also lacks the Metal Peel-off Effect that generates the unit's signature afterimages, and its native specs are apparently a bit lower, since it lacks the limiters that the original had installed. Or in other words, its native specs are closer to the original F91's limited capabilities, rather than its full abilities.

Not technically SRW-related, but it's related to a series that's in 30 plus I assume there's some mecha fans in this thread: Has anyone here read the actual GGG Vs Betterman story, enough to be familiar with what the characters and robots are up to at the end of/after the story? I know that Guy, Mikoto, J, and Renais go to space in the J-Ark, and Mamoru, Kaido, and Hinoki and Keita are still on earth and probably still active, but I'm not sure about what Galeon's doing, and whether genesic gaomachines get their minds get reinstalled, and if the vehicle robos have bodies rebuilt and their minds back online. And I think I read something about GaoFighGar and GaoGaiGo being wrecked but not so much about the V2, or if it's just irrelevant once they need Final GaoGaiGar. I know 30 changed a lot of stuff with the ending and the extended cast so I wanted to check.

In order, the present-time Galeon is still around (I think also on the space trip, I'd have to check), and the Brave Robos are all fine and intact since they actually got to do stuff there. In the novel Final GaoGaiGar was just necessary out of circumstance, since all the other machines had gotten messed up fighting Ruin Genesic right before the finale. They were repairable, the time just wasn't available.

I forgot about the F91, yeah that one works out pretty well too mostly because it's Space Magic device isn't integral to the unit as a whole like it is for the Zeta. It does leave it with a lack of a solid finisher though, VSBRs are hella strong lore-wise but kinda lame on their own. e: But yes bring back squads. The mountains of useless side-characters suddenly become real exciting and weird secrets/MP units are great instead of something you use once then ignore forever. Hell even just twins go a long way to making everyone useful. Yinlock fucked around with this message at 02:40 on Mar 26, 2022 |

The VSBR gets stronger the further back you go, at least relative to other options. The F91 is the only Gundam aside from the Nu Gundam that can really kick rear end at the end of any original timeline SRW. The Zeta and ZZ are held back by the Limit stat (may it burn in hell) along with generally lower stats, because back then Banpresto aimed for a high degree of lore accuracy in terms of how powerful the various UC mobile suits were. Kamille and Judau were always better served being put into CCA-era suits with funnels, like the Jagd Doga.
