Which would you be more interested in from a narrative standpoint?:

A) Man-Sized Power Suits
B) Giant Piloted Mecha (does not have to be humanoid)

It's a vehicle. There's a separation between pilot and battle.

Powered armor is an extension of the self. Mecha are nearly characters in their own right. (Not taking into account Braves or Transformers where they literally are.)

Going to use Amuro here because everyone knows it.

The initial gap between Amuro and Gundam is large. Amuro, even as a tech wiz, has trouble for a good stretch simply piloting the Gundam. It picks up the slack for him. However, Amuro grows and evens the gap between them. He even helps it advance by use of learning computer. Eventually magnetic coating is needed to make it keep up with Amuro, at which point they are practically one being because it can keep up with him perfectly. However they are still different entities. The Gundam can be damaged, Amuro can be fatigued, but they happen at different rates and times. In the end, Last Shooting makes it clear that Amuro is his own person, separate from the war machine. But he will never stop being the pilot of the Gundam and he will always hold that connection. It is more like a dutiful partner than a simple tool, complementing Amuro's power and evolving with him. Could it be simplified to that? Perhaps. Is such a relationship always the case? No, but it is more often than not, especially compared to powered armor.

Powered armor makes the distinction less clear. Often times it is close in size to a human. Being able to see the pilot's face is not uncommon. It exists not so much as a full vehicle but as an augmentation of the pilot's physical attributes. By definition it is more like a tool than a machine, making the comparison more accurate. You care more about the person inside than you do the armor (it's in the name, too). Without a person there can still be a Zaku or a Big O or a Getter or an AT or a Mazinger. But without someone inside the armor, there is emptiness. It is a tool without a master.

Power armor is about enlisted grunts working together as a team to overcome their opponents. The strength of the power armor contrast with their weakness and powerless over their own lives.

Giant robots is about a hero and maybe his two best friends being vital players and turning the tide of the war in their favor. Their weakness comes purely from their inability to deal with personal issues.

Gunpla / Plamo General

***READ THE GUIDE***

https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1Tr8UyF2Xg5Ojqw0sxcO7oIG7IIsJPes3lMO5pHZKu5o

***READ THE GUIDE***

For those new to gunpla/plamo or even just new to this thread; please read the guide. Please read it before asking questions as there is a chance it has already been answered there.
For those unfamiliar, "plamo" is a shortened form of "plastic model". If it's made of plastic, someone can probably help you here.
If you're new, you're gonna fuck up. Don't worry! If you're experienced, don't make the new people worry!
>Why won't anyone answer my question?
Try being specific, especially about your materials and process. Post pictures whenever possible; even if the kit/part looks bad, you are more likely to get help posting pictures.

Ignoring a few gundam wing kits I cobbled together during my youth,
I started out with a black paint marker, an exacto knife, some cheap nippers, and the wrong grit of sandpaper to go with an HG federation Zaku F2.
I've since ordered and gathered much better supplies after actually reading through the OP guide.

I started in the middle of Gundam Build Fighters Season 1.

My first kit was an HG Deathscythe Hell Custom, cause it was the only kit a local hobby shop near where I live had. I also picked up some metal files, exacto knife and nippers from another hobby shop that sells Warhammer 40k figs.

I didn't paint it or even panel line or top coat it. I don't think I ever will. I'm gonna leave it exactly as I built it, to remind me where I started.

You can have an estimate using other webshops like http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/ or http://hlj.com/.
Amiami is able to give you shipping estimates only after the product is released.

Shop's discount.

>You can have an estimate using other webshops
HLJ doesn't have estimate atm and I can't find plamo on 1999. That's why I was wondering. Do they charge when product is released or when you place the order?

I see, that's quite big one discount.

>Tanaka's military SF classic has been unavailable in English for decades, but given the poor quality of this new translation, it's hard to say whether that was truly a bad thing. The saga follows two young commanders on either side of a galactic war: Reinhard von Lohengramm of the Galactic Empire, and Yang Wen-li of the Free Planets Alliance. Upon their first meeting in battle, each man distinguishes himself by utilizing unorthodox tactical maneuvers (which have their basis in military history). A web of political infighting on both sides slowly reveals itself, but Huddleston's prose is so slavishly devoted to Tanaka's original Japanese text that the path towards the meat of the book quickly becomes a slog. It's easy to lose interest long before the action picks up (no thanks to the unnecessary, lengthy prologue, absent in the fan-favorite anime adaptation). It doesn't help that Tanaka's nearly 35-year-old plot has aged rather poorly; with its overwhelmingly male-dominated story and shallow female characters, it's hard to find a place for this series among today's more nuanced SF. (Mar.)

Absolutely BTFO, go back to Japan mysogynerds.

>Awful physics and generally sloppy controls
I remapped the controls to the same settings I used on Artdink's Macross games for PSP, which was in turn mapped to mimic the control scheme I used on VF-X2(ISO on PSP), which in turn was Robotech: Battlecry controls
I found the physics to be far better than the Vs series which are just unplayable to me. I guess it's just my preference for flight-sim type games over arcade-brawler type games, so I can easily see why someone who liked and was used to the Vs games would find the Battle games unpalatable. They're similar enough in gameplay to make it REALLY jarring how differently everything moves.

As for the removed pilots, almost none of them were actual anime characters. Most were characters from other Gundam games like Zeonic Front, EIS, things like that. Only a few actual anime characters were cut, but it was still weird that they left in multiples of other characters. There are three different Kiras, Two Elpeop Ple and Ple2, two Yzaks, two or three Haman, a couple of Yazan, but no Elle Vianno, South Burning, or Nicol Amalfi. Losing Elle was especially painful for me.

Also that Surreal GM and Saku got cut, but I think they were the only actual mecha that were removed.

The added content still outweighs the cuts, though, when you consider all the SEED and 00 units and pilots added greatly outnumber the units and pilots that were removed. Also having two wingmen instead of just one, the gates between areas being two-way, and the ability to hover near your home ship to repair instead of just auto-healing a little each time you moved to a new area.

You can even see the Positron Cannon shot turning into a massive explosion.

Hell, you can see the explosion's cloud BEHIND the Impulse and the debris of the Freedom going away from the Impulse as well.
>>
>>13970605
We'd all rather continue to make shit up than watch destiny.
>>
>>13970605

Considering Freedom is jabbing Impulse through the head and into it's Force Pack, a significant part of Impulse's damage (mostly the head being gone) was probably caused by that. Freedom meanwhile has a hole right through it's center, so it could more easily break apart.

A nuclear blast, however would have left nothing. Justice was instantly blown to dust when it went nuclear, with a big enough explosion to wreck genesis and be nearly right in the faces of the rest of the TSA way back from Jachin.
>>
>>13970402

Here's the reason why nobody remembers this scene correctly. Minerva fires Tannhauser, explodes, Shinn kills Kira, Kira explodes, but you don't see him turn off the reactor until after the explosion. By extension the explosion could not have been his reactor.

HELLO /m/ CITY!

With Winter now wrapped up it's time to look towards spring and things are being shook up at /m/ HQ but we'll circle back to that.

Sometime this month, the Tag Team Cup will be returning. Now last time, /m/ partnered up with the Winter Cup runner-ups, /u/ and together we placed 3rd and took the Golden Boot. However, some /m/en were less than thrilled with the idea of teaming with /u/. So this year, we're letting the board decide. I know a lot of you wanted /tg/ so we've automatically have them in consideration as with /u/, but if there's anyone else, let us know.

Also, with Spring happening in June, and /m/ having been off since November of last year, it might be time to spruce the team up some. Make all suggestions for new players here. Now for those of you worrying about tactics need not to worry, we've been working on tactics since the transition to PES 16 and had moderate success in the Winter Friendlies.

So let's get back into gear folks!
