They didn't have specific roles because each Gundam was sent in a solo mission. Them getting into a group wasn't planned, but still, each Gundam has a specific purpose.

Wing = All-Around/Airborne Fighting
DeathScythe = Infiltration/Stealth (hence the camouflage)
Heavyarms = Base bombardment
Sandrock = Militia/Desert Operations (Leading Maganac)
Altron = Melee

Another thing to consider is that each unit was customized to the individual pilots before Operation Meteor. There's no reason for a proto-Shenlong, made for Wu-Fei's fiancee to exist if the armaments were already planned.

Yes, as in I was busy reading other boards which were not /m/ where the invasion of Gaza could be discussed, where I could follow or catch glances of other people's discussions of why this was happening and what was going on. Is this a foreign fucking concept? If you browse any board you will pick up on snippets of information of varying kinds just by being in its presence even if you're not actively looking for them. Do I need to emphasize to you that I do not respect Israel because they seem to be in the habit of repeatedly acting like gigantic fucking jews or something? You are free, again, to explain to me exactly how my initial, very literally half baked assessment is factually wrong at any time.

I guess that makes sense if they're a breakthrough unit, but the BETA are special in they ignore logistics so they can mass as many troops in one area as they want. I guess it's pointless to consider when they probably use that unit composition because it's effective for digging.

It'd be really funny if Gaiking turned out to not have a single episode based on Norse mythology, including SRW games and the 2005 reboot (key word being "if" because I'm only about halfway through).

All joking aside, it's a pretty good show.
Animation and choreography can be kinda sucky on average (I guess most of Toei's better animators/storyboarders were busy with Grendizer), but the characters and occasional expeditions to historical sites definitely make up for it.
It also has my favorite backstory to any weapons or equipment upgrade, namely the Daiku Maryu getting captured and the turncoat engineer using the occasion to commission a pair of drills.

>But who the fuck still uses tmblr since they banned porn?

Tumblr sort of walked back that policy. The staff were purging the site of porn. Then saw no one was using Tumblr anymore and daily users dropped like a rock. I guess people lost interest.

Now porn is allowed again, but is kept behind an 18+ gate. You need to register an account with them, and go into your settings to specifically allow 18+ content on your search feed. There are a few other minor rules about erotic material that I can't remember, but yeah they allow porn again. They were afraid of losing their userbase.

Kind of a shame since they purged like 1 to 2 decades worth of erotic material before changing their minds. Stuff that cant be found anywhere else apparently from what I've been told. No one thought to back it up either. Tumblr was made during the era of when cloud storage was being pushed and saving stuff to your hard drive was considered old fashioned.

It doesn't affect me since I mostly use Tumblr for mecha pictures, but I'm probably in the minority. It was really funny seeing Tumblr shoot themselves in the foot in real time. Places like Reddit, Tumblr, etc from what I hear get 80% of their traffic from 18+ content being posted. No idea what Tumblr was thinking.

Rozé ended in the 8th place in the weekend box office despite being only shown in 60 theaters and with no hype.

It's a success both financially and critically. Geass is back.

Rozé is coming to Disney Plus in late June, perhaps they will drop all 12 eps at the same time.

Lost Stories special stream on 5/15 8PM JST. They will reveal all the anniversary stuff plus info on the future of the game.

Same crap as with the Republic of Zeon and Neo-Zeon, as well as their variations. This is monotonously dull and useless for the further development of the world. In addition, Rising actually forever cemented Britannia's status as absolute evil instead of fully revealing the country itself and its factions... Well, yes, they screwed that up back in OZ, but there was still hope. Now Code Geass has become just a pitiful imitation of Gundam.

>>22635768
>Second, you need to provide a location or part of the setting where there is a story reason why 9th generation KMF can't simply blow up everything once again.
It could have been done a little differently. After blowing up the mines on Fuji, reduce the amount of available sakaradite and, therefore, be forced to reduce energy-consuming technological levels such as float systems and hadron cannons. At the same time, pay attention to internal combustion engines and oil and gas as new sources of energy and focus on the states of the Middle Eastern Federation (Zilkhstan would be more than appropriate) and their relationships with the restored EU (reminds me of the loli-president of Europe) and member states of the UFN like India.

So the plot is ready without any self-repetition with Japanese Hokkaido under the brutal rule of Neo-Britannia...

Plenty of times, yeah. I'd argue I've read more fanfiction as a whole than actual literature, lmao. But there's something endearing when a fan enjoys a franchise so much that he is willing to write hundreds of words for free for other fellow nerds to read. Yeah, plenty of shit, there's a reason why fanfiction has the reputation it has, but every blue moon you find something decent enough.
>or written fanfiction for /m/ shows?
Same too, i write a Sekirei x SRW OGs fanfic just to kill time when at work. Why those two? because my autism for a shitty harem manga nobody cares about know no bounds and OGs was simple enough. Hard to write when there's little documentation on names and stuff.
Doubt I'll finish it so i don't bother posting it, not like i think its decent enough anyway.
Also have a couple (unfinished and unpublished) side works, like a Area 88: Azur Lane or a Gundam Puru side story, and of course i've tried the foolish endeavor of writing my own SRW. Again, not like i'll ever finish them but they help pass the time, i guess.

I always thought it was lame that in the anime Kou doesn't eject the gundam out of the giant missile carrier part of the dendrobium and stab gato's giga cockroach. That said, gato's gigaroach looks way easier and fun to use for a 1v1. Dendrobium looks godawful to use in a 1v1 against a similarly sized opponent, but seems way better to fight a horder of mobile suits with, thanks to all the missile pods.

>powerful energy shield/I-field
>giant fire sword/giant beam sword
>bazooka/mega beam cannon
>both have an insane number of missiles to spam
>mobile suit/something that looks like an ac in the center
The major differences would be that Dendrobium has more handheld bazookas + arms and claws to manipulate its gear with, while Balteus has a shotgun, double minigun, and a flamethrower.
>>
>>22633093
Dendrobium wasn't really designed for it, the GP units were all designed around specific roles as support units, they loosely seem based on the V Project units. GP01 is the most direct parallel to the original RX78 but faster with its additional boosters, the GP02 fills the role of the Guncannon with the added benefit if being able to deliver a nuclear payload (admittedly this is sort of a retcon with the addition of the missle pod MSV of the GP02), and the GP03 covers everything the Guntank and G Armor could do but on a wider colony/fleet sized scale. Point being the Dendrobium isn't really meant to go one to one with other comparable units, it was meant for general widespread destruction on enemy forces and being able to zip away far very fast. The Neue Ziel is a lot more agile, it has that turning speed you do want in 1v1 engagements.

The Dendrobium by all means can but just from its role as a payload delivery system it's not that suited for it.

Which is it? Also, there's like, two deaths in the OVAs I'd say are any kinda impactful, that being Bernie and Burning, and Burning's death is pretty much irrelevant after the episode he dies, there's no lingering effect. Compare deaths like Ramba, Hamon and Ryu, whose deaths are a big turning point in the series.

I’m trying and making 3d mech models for a while now but one part has always urked me: the hip joint.

Most of the times when I look for references its either a magic ball joint thing, it’s covered by cloth or it’s just a shaft so in reality it wouldn’t be able to spread its legs.

What is the best example of a hip joint that you’ve seen/preferred method. Sort of at the end of my rope, at this point I might just cheat and make it a magic ball joint.

Pic is my main reference for what I’m making.
>>
I don't know what constitutes a 'hip' on your example, go look at some real world things you can take inspiration from.

>>22635709
If it's just a 3D model you could get away with the magic ball joint. You don't need to go full CAD autism on your fictional giant robot. But if you are daring then yeah, looking at actual CAD projects might give you a pointer on functional robot joints.
>>
>>22635709

Most modern gunpla models have a three-piece hip joint with a polycap, polycap holder, and an attachment point on the leg to allow for thigh swivel. Unless you're actually putting weight on these, you could probably fudge the actual mechanism.
