UNSTOPPABLE RAMMING SPEED.

I wanna see someone with an Aegis Gundam modified to have a core fighter. All he does is latch on to the other guy in Mobile Armor mode, start the self-destruct sequence, and then fly away in the core fighter. Everyone hates him.

Except this tournament was held in basically the same spot as the last one. Unless Nils's particles are just that much lamer than the originals.

That Nationals table is nowhere near the size of the center table in the world tournament though.

We have no reason to believe that two of those hexagonal Gunpla Battle System platforms create more particles when they're connected than when they're functioning independently.

It's mentioned that they each have their own supply of plavsky particles (the fact that they need to be resupplied is how Nils even finds out about the Arista), so I don't see why you'd say that.

If you're allowed to say your robot contains a full troop deployment of zeon soldiers that can operate independently I should be allowed to say my robot has a complement of active nuclear warheads that I can throw like javelins.

Well feel free to do that if you can actually build those. That's the point, isn't it?

When Team Try Fighters did that metaphorical Newtype flight toward a distant star, I was hoping it wasn't all metaphor and they all end up in Arian. Look, I just want to see what sort of freaky Galapagos-type poo poo that the Gunpla Mock community on Arian has been up to.

Speaking of that, I loved how they're all just flying toward a star to make it a poetic ending, only then Sekai blows it up.

Just a perfect metaphor for the show.

Are there any robots from the franchise that are like dedicated artillery/fire support?

The zzsa is pretty close I guess and the Xamel has a big gun, but I would to know what the gundam equivalent of a katyusha truck is.

Those are canonical! (well as canonical at the G-3 Gundam is at least.) The Elmeth has them in the novels.

That's one of the contest winners. I forget which contest it was from, though.

That was a GP03, not a GP01. It was the winner of the model building contest. The Unicorn was the winner of the lineart coloring contest, and the Char thing was the winner of the Gundam Breaker contest.

Their direct predecessors were the Zssa mod, the red Deathscythe, and the Geara Doga Astray thing Al was piloting in episode 23 of Build Fighters.

After playing SRW for so long, I don't even blink at the idea of wasting ridiculous amounts of money in one overly elaborate attack.

Why hello there FA Unicorn, just magically blow your entire payload multiple times per battle.

I know I'm a little late to the party but I just finished this up. As a 25 year old man I am a little ashamed of how excited I got at the Jigen Haoh Master reveal. Seeing the Zaku amazing again was nice. I would have killed to have Sei and Reiji Appear from the heavens though. I really like build fighters and if it stays at this quality I'd love to see more. Even if we just follow the Try fighters again. Maybe they can go to the orange islands or to johto or something.

I don't know, something about the Domon thing rubbed me the wrong way. I think I'd rather they implied it was Domon than outright say it. But that's weird, I have no problem with Ramba Ral being a recurring character.

Ramba Ral actually is a character in the show, not just a reference like Domon. Plus they had a much better, sweeter, more Gundam-y reference with the Domon cameo in season 1. And Domon's appearance in Try was tied to Jigen Haoh Ryu, the worst thing in the world.

If you want to see a show actually do the big fancy called moves right, go check out the first episode of Blood Blockade Battlefront.
