Why were they so much better at being more competent and compelling villains and antagonists than Zeon and its Zeek sweats during the OYW? They had the Earth Federation and Axis pushed to the curb with its sheer forces and manpower that it almost came close to conquering the universe.
Why didn't we get the exposition with this faction compared to what we did with Zeon?

Don't be a fucking idiot, the Hizack is the most prominent case because it's literally just a Zaku II shell with a few outward features swapped out, it was by far the most common mobile suit used by EF/Titans forces in Zeta, not even getting into the Marine Zakus, Act Zakus, and the Galbaldy Betas, which were either holdovers from the OYW or developed directly from previous Zeon designs.
>the Uniforms were just a color change of the Feddie suit. do you even hear yourself?
Rewatch the series, dumbass. Only in the beginning were the uniforms just palette swaps, then not long into the series, they started to incorporate Zeonish crests on the upper half of the top and some even had the short capes used on various Zeonic uniforms, it wasn't fucking subtle, because that's the whole point, they kept smashing viewers over the head that they took up Zeon's mantle.

YOU! Yes, you.
Congratulations! You've been asked to lead a Mecha show of your own! You get to decide the story, plotlines, general tone, art style, casting... basically all aspects that one person CAN be in charge of alone.

The Caveats:
>You have an animation team. They can work to your specifications, but the more complex the art style, the longer they'll take to work.
>You get 8 episodes. No more, no less. This is what the studio was willing to greenlight
>It MUST be in the Mech or Mecha genre. You can get flexible if you wish, as long as the show involves a character or preferrably characters piloting some form of machine with legs, the suits will probably be satisfied.
>You get to handle PR for the show and promotion for the show, but the Suits have to greenlight it, so follow FCC guidelines, Tokyo broadcasting rules, etc.


WHAT is your Mecha show about, what do you call it, and what happens in it?

>Mechs are old. Really old, the majority of them being pre-cataclysm and oldtech, and it's very rare that people innovate, they are mostly repaired until it's no longer possible. They're very graceful and bloody quick and agile.
>The pilot is in a sphere at their centre, and controls them via a brain impulse unit (hence the humanoid shape, the brain being optimised for this).
>The pilot is regarded as a simple mechanical part that can be changed, pumped full of chemicals and stimulants to withstand the sick accelerations he receives. If he dies because of piloting or an overdose, he's replaced.

>There is no supra-light travel whatsoever; every journey is made in torchships, which means that journeys are long and costly. The mechs are generally transported in carrier ships for combat. Mechs are mainly armed with kinetic weapons and missiles, as energy weapons would over-pump their reactor.
>Energy weapons do exist, but are generally either single-shot weapons for mechs with an integrated energy battery, or static weapons on colonies or ships.

It would be a story about humanity and an attempt to unify it and get back on its feet, because in its current state humanity isn't stagnating, it's going backwards and rotting. There's hardly any innovation, just human survival in tired, worn-out colonies that are on the verge of collapse despite constant repairs.

Could be neat. Cold War inspired stuff is nice.

In the wake of recent and devastatingly popular hits like G-Witch, Seed Freedom, and now Grendizer U, is it time to assess Cross Ange’s influence on the genre?

I bought a compressor with an air tank, but this one part came slightly bent, likely due to shipping damage. Should I return it? Other than that, everything seems and looks perfect. I believe that part isn't even attached to the air tank and seems to house electrical wires. Any thoughts?

Decided to try my hand at painting finally. Going to be painting my Omegamon X in the style of Alter-S. These are some of things I bought and I'm wondering if I'm missing anything. Like, does the thinner I bought only apply the metallic series of colors, or do I need a standard color thinner as well? I think I'm also missing a primer and a tool cleanser.

My guess is that when the arms start to tuck in, it also brings the shield around to the front of the body to let it latch on to the underside of the chest. Once a solid latch-on is confirmed, the shield unhooks from the left forearm. The movement is a bit odd, but far less weird than the Wing Gundam just having its shield float in midair while parts almost magnetically attach to it.

Shameless Evangelion clone but nowhere near as enjoyable to watch. It doesn't have the same level of production values in terms of art, animation, shot composition/framing, or directing. It is also digipaint and looks oversaturated compared to the cel animation of earlier anime. The moment to moment show isn't as captivating and the cast overall not as interesting or as likeable (I did like the two old commander guys. I guess the newspaper reporter who was snooping around was also interesting). No standout scenes. And so on. A very large percentage of the show's screentime is spent on navel gazing. Evangelion is often criticized for this but IIRC the navel gazing and deep thoughts about nothing were only a fraction of that show's runtime. I ended up feeling like I watched shoddy rehash of Evangelion.

Fuck wimpy protagonists. Even Last Exile was held down by one.

I don't remember exactly offhand but aren't there at least a couple of models that plug their sabers directly into the unit via a cable?
>>
>>22726306
Not really? It depends, but the vast majority of UC beam sabers are portable and not wired to a power source. Units could steal beam sabers from each other and use them, which suggested that there was maybe some kind of universal standard going on. In Zeta, Buran steals the Mark II's beam sabre and is able to use it just fine. Yazan picks up a derelict Gelgoog's beam naginata and can power it on, but it was weak, defective, or low on power and couldn't withstand much use. I actually don't remember any UC MS off the top of my head that have their beam sabers tethered to the MS, but there's a bunch from different AUs and things like G-Reco which is far future UC.

There's a scene in 08th MS team which shows a beam sabre plugging into a hand's electrical connector. Presumably a beam rifle works the same way. This agrees with most Gundam databooks' explanation of the weapons tech and how the suit is supposed to power and control beam weapons, but it also doesn't agree very well with scenes from other Gundam stories where enemy weapons can be picked up and used immediately.

I find realistic mechs extremely cooler than super robots. They look smoother, sleeker, heavier. I don't see a Gundam as this heavy machine of war it is supposed to be, more like an advanced spaceship. I do feel the weight and threat of a Landmate or an AMP suit from Avatar tho.
