-=READ THE GUIDES=-

Welcome to the Gunpla/Plamo General!

For those new, please read our guides. We have many resources available to help you in many different aspects of the hobby. They're here for you!

For the unclear, "plamo" is short for "plastic model". "Gunpla" is thus short for "Gundam plastic model". Many different kinds of models are built here, ranging from mecha to planes, cars, musume, you name it! If you're new, you're gonna screw up. Don't worry! If you're seasoned, don't make the newbies worry!

And don't forget to report shitposting and spam. The mods don't browse /m/ too often, so it's up to YOU to help keep our general clean and civil!

>Why won't anyone answer my question?
Be more specific, and try to provide clear images if you can.

>Why are my pictures sideways?
4chan strips EXIF data when images are uploaded, including the orientation tag if it's from your phone. To fix it save out your images separately, or use an app that will rotate and save the images for you.

the transformation isnt actually removed, with ZZ, there's a latch that connects to the leg booster so the whole core bottom fighter is stable and doesnt wobble.

with Enhanced ZZ, the leg part gains a new leg booster so the backpack latch cant connect to the leg, but essentially, the Enhanced ZZ can still transform, the backpack will just rest on the legs instead of being connected with the latch on the backpack

How can this be such an unparalleled masterpiece? The more I rewatch it the more I feel like this is one of the fullest expressions of the anime media, as it somehow mixes everything that is good about anime into a coherent aesthetic vision.
The mix between school/sport drama and mecha works and fits together because of the "time travel" theme. "Going to space" is at the same time a literal element of a cool plot and a metaphor for remaining a child forever (as one does while consooming mecha anime), but at the same time, "space" (i.e. childhood's mental space) is also where real existential conflicts are fought: only those with fantasy and imagination, who remain children (a theme Anno develops in Eva) can save the universe.
This is my personal schizo-interpretation - but overall the scale, the animation, the aesthetic... Even the fanservice manages to be artistic: I think about scenes like Noriko rolling in bed and you see her breasts through the shirt, or the beach day with Jung - it's even voyeuristic, it feels like just a way of looking at those girls who are young and beautiful and so full of life that they can save the universe.
I loved this. I think Diebuster is also cool but I wish Anno would come back to the franchise and do more with it.

you don't seem to understand
the complaint isn't that the show is bad, it's that there are people (on this very board, perhaps even you) who regularly recommend it to anons looking for shows with mundane or "realistic" settings
i know it's hard to see through your fanboyism but this show is far from that

paraphrasing from the wiki: https://w.atwiki.jp/toaru-vo/pages/30.html

"During “Oratan 5.66,” it was honestly called all sorts of things like a “weak character” or “a lower-tier version of Temjin.” However, in this installment, thanks to its straightforward strategy of “closing distance to land powerful moves,” the equipment supporting that, and its good compatibility with smart controls, it wreaked havoc as a popular unit right from the start of Ranked Matches.
Ultimately, it was too strong and received nerfs in Ver. 1.02, causing its popularity to settle down..."

I wish that I could turn back time
cause' now the guilt is all mine
can't live without
the trust from those you love
I know we can't forget the past
you can't forget love & pride
because of that, it's killing me inside

It all returns to nothing, it all comes tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down
It all returns to nothing, I just keep letting me down, letting me down, letting me down
In my heart of hearts
I know that I could never love again
I've lost everything
everything
everything that matters to me, matters in this world

Of course you can explain it away,like how the GP series were super advanced prototypes with features from Zeta but all the data were just deleted because of muh conspiracy and never mentioned again anywhere

GP series was nothing special except for GP03 in mobile armor form. Char even looks at rebuilt GP02 in Define and calls it an outdated piece of crap.
>>
>>23665788
GP02 also had a very specific purpose compared to the other GP units. Maybe the idea was something which was modular in a way, and you could have various different outer bodies built off the same basic inner frame, like the 1st-gen GAT suits in Seed
>>
>>23665877
It wasn't general purpose, but it generally was on the same tech level.
The point is, they weren't THAT advanced and their data was semi-openly used for creation of Gryps era stuff anyway. In all honesty, Alex for its time was way more impressive.

My autism is very confused about G-Witch's worldbuilding on one particular topic, /m/, and it's about how there seem to be ten thousand different private armies.

How exactly do Benerit Group's security forces work? I tried making sense of this by reading the WfM light novel and the M&W book, but it only left me with further questions, since it just seems extremely complex in a way that's not explained.
There's the Front Management Company, which is responsible for the Front maintenance and security. They pilot the Demi Garrison mobile suits. Their existence is actually explained rather well.
However, then you get to the muddy part with the Earth Garrison Force that you mainly see on Earth. I initially thought that it was a separate service meant to protect corporation's Earth assets from rivals and terrorists, but it turns out that this might not be the case at all.
It seems like Benerit's member corporations also have their private security forces, which is only really relevant in episodes 11 and 12, when Jeturk sends away their own "patrol fleet" from Plant Quetta. I initially thought that this was just the corp's own private security, meant to protect main assets in space, but in episode 13, they specifically tell us that Grassley and Peil warships were sent to Earth to hunt terrorists. The light novel even specified that the security force MS in episode 15 were from this fleet, but the episode itself only mentioned that they were part of the Earth Garrison. Moreover, they were acting in unison under the same "Garrison Command", which pretty clearly points towards them being a part of the same fighting force, and not just separate forces acting together.

Of all the experimental weapons demonstrated in MS IGLOO I feel like the mobile diver system had the most actual potential. It's using aquatic MS parts Zeon doesn't have any use for and could strike the fed's space capabilities without putting any of their own at risk, with a huge potential trade off considering how much what is effectively a mobile armor costs compared to a ship

found this when i was looking up Igloo stuff trying to find von Kuspen's birthday just now

a lot of the stuff in Igloo does a good job at showing how desperate Zeon gets near the end. this thing is pretty effective in G Generation too as something that can fly and the like. but it's just so ridiculous and really serves to show how desperate Zeon gets at the end

The scattering cannon version seemed to work pretty well. I don't know why it was written off as a failure.
>>
>>23665433
it's less that it was specifically a failure and more that zeon was just cobbling together anything that had a chance of working and tossing it into the atmosphere to delay, damage, and distract the feds' launch into space

it's not like they envisioned an orbital defense network of ze'gok divers, but at some point zeon retreated far back enough that they probably couldn't even safely send ships into earth orbit to deploy the ze'gok to attack the feds anymore

and then at that point there wasn't much of a reason to build any more of them when they had to start worrying about the defense of solomon and a baoa qu instead

Are chromebounds mecha?

So far down the pipeline we have Gundam UC2, the rest of Hathaway's Flash, the 00 sequel, Seed Freedom Zero and the live action film. Did I miss anything? Also, what else do you think we'll get? Any guesses? I want a Gaia Gear adaptation or a Turn A sequel since Reconguista in G's status as one is contested.

Kira kind of won the argument much earlier in the fight where he says that Rau's just letting his own shitty life color his perception on everything and everything and Rau says Kira's exactly right but he doesn't really care because "that's how people are". At that point Kira basically won because he got Rau to admit that his own view was warped but didn't care which makes any further debate pointless.
