It's pretty much already over. Alicia's iron grip was strangling the Martian populace and could not be sustained anyway. How exactly the aftermath of the rebellion will lead into the shadow of an army that's Mars Zeon of UC 0110s and 0120s is another question, but ReZeon's fate is already clear.
Black Rabbit had a Dream.
Had.
>A ridiculous, laughable dream.
Alicia still lives. The manga will enter the Earth arc and there's no telling what will be revealed and what will happen there. TR-S is still waiting. It will all be lost like a dream, but something will still carry on into the future.

I feel like it takes a Hazel and a HZII and makes something that doesn't look as good as either of them. The CSB is too rounded for the blocky limbs, the shoulder guns can't aim forward and it doesn't have a transformation that lets them do so either, and I've never been a fan of the extra high heel addon for Hazel legs. It's not a bad design by any means but I feel like the others do its job better

>>22955779
Is it better if you know it's probably inspired by Kawamori's early draft for Dendrobium?
>>
>>22955782
No, in fact something closer to this would've been way cooler. Making a more humanoid Dendrobium is sick, but making it literally just rearranged dendrobium pieces sucks. They should've changed it up a bit to make it look a bit different. There's also a bunch of nitpicks with the design itself like the gun being backwards or an entire arm being taken up by the I-field when the original's I-field just covered the entire thing, no movement required. Also if we're being honest legs are completely unnecessary for a space-only anti-fleet turret. Also is that a camera bigger than most MS' heads on the big pod on the right? and can this hold guns in the "pilot's" arms or does it just have less firepower than the original? No giant beam saber claws either
>>
>>22955789
It can transform into a more traditional MA form, in the lineart the beam cannons are folded back for convenience but they could fold out just fine like that too. Also they have beam sabers built into them. The legs are here for AMBAC so it can be more agile and flexible in use. I-Field generator mounted like that is functionally speaking just a giant shield, really.
For the record the backstory is it's a post 0083 project by an Earth supremacist group that tried reusing GP03 data for a base *assault* MA that would be sent at Axis, but they couldn't get it to work and the plan was eventually taken over by another group post-Gryps and finished using modern tech including Psycho Gundam data. The "Gundam" unit serving as the core is just a glorified escape pod made up of miscellaneous leftover GM parts with a little Gundam thrown in.
>>
>>22955807
Still seems like an inferior Dendrobium overall. I'm sure the paper specs are higher due to having newer tech, but at a glance it has less guns, can't use saber and cannon at the same time, the Gundam can't wield handheld guns, and having two massive beam cannons mounted in parallel like that is completely pointless. If the first shot hits the target is already destroyed, do you want to make another hole like 2m below the first one?

This post got me thinking about the aerodynamism of AoZ designs.

Is the Woundwort capable of atmospheric flight? Is the Hyzenthlay II? Even still in a dogfight between them and a Z+ A1, I'd bet my money on the Zeta. Though that might just be biased because the Z+ looks like an air superiority fighter in wave rider mode.
>>
>>22957643
No, only the Kehaar forms and the Icarus units can. Hrairoos too. I think Dantalions can glide but not fly? Then you've got the Queenly forms that need a big ass minovsky craft pod to fly

>>22957643
Woundwort has enough thrust to fly in the atmosphere in MA mode, though naturally it's not completely specialized for that. It might not have to transform completely though as it has an intermediate form with only the legs folded and aligned into MA mode.
Haze'n-thley II by itself has sheer thrust to be effective in atmospheric combat in MA mode, though it's noted to be akin to a missile.
Haze'n-thly II Rah II can outright escape the atmosphere through its sheer thrust with a fuel tank attached, which is almost certainly a direct reference to Ex-S Gundam which can do the exact same thing.
For projected Zeta Gundam successors like the Zeta Plus and Delta Plus series the intended counter is Hrairoo II, the Gaplant replacement focused on high attitude interceptions. As far as we know it was never used in combat so it's anyone's guess how it would work in practice but it is designed with the intent of matching and surpassing them.
>>
>>22957043
Maybe that manga page has an awkward translation, basically when moving with extreme speeds acceleration and movement, bloodflow can move around your body in unintended ways

e.g., pilots pull a hard turn and the blood can flow away from the brain and cause them to lose consciousness and black out. gear exists for this, pressure suits or G-suits compress the body to force blood from flowing to certain parts of your body and away from the brain

Was the Delta Plus even real by the time of the TTT? I thought that line didn't get started until after Char's rebellion. By the Gryps War the Delta line was still at the Delta Gundam/Hyaku Shiki stage.

Key word there is "projected". They didn't know what came after Zeta, but they knew roughly what capabilities it'd jave and designed a MS to match those capabilities

It is described as countering suits "like" these. Just like how they wouldn't know what exactly Zeta Plus is till they encounter it or spy information and how they just projected likely performance and capabilities of ZZ, S or Queen Mansa based on available data and knowledge.
Though for what it's worth Delta Plus was actually developed in UC 0090 (by the time of Unicorn it's an old, forgotten prototype that's not cancelled only by technicality) and Anaheim was already considering functional Delta models during the Gryps Conflict.

Honestly, would the Hrairoo II even be an improvement over the Gaplant? I doubt the CSBs would offer much thrust over the Gaplant's shield binders since it has to make space for a folding heat blade mechanism + beam cannon + I-field generator.

I have the feeling the Woundwort's ass booster pod wouldn't be any better than the Gaplant's back booster either.

Speaking of Jupiter, does any material mention what goes on in the moons? If Mars can be terraformed surely Jupiter's moons are even easier to terraform.
>>
>>22960492
Jupiter Empire has a military outpost on Io but that's about all we know IIRC. Mars was initially fancied as a major project before Earth Sphere colonies became the obvious choice so the terraforming process had a lot of time and resources poured into it. Meanwhile Jupiter Sphere infrastructure was always built around H3 mining rather than being a major population center.
>>
>>22960498
I thought Jovians were rich as fuck due to said H3 trade. But crossbone mentions how their colonies face scarcity and every resource is precious. Maybe they should've uaed that money to improve their living conditions instead of bankrolling various anti-earth groups...
>>
>>22960490
It doesn't even need to be a massive performance improvement, just using the same core platform and standardized parts that can be switched out in a few minutes makes it a massive improvement in actual operational capacity.
Plus, the CBSs have the additional boosters attached on them, the same kind that make TR-5 Advanced Hrairoo a speed fiend that needs support struts in the back to hold together at full throttle. And also one half of that on the weapon container. That's a whole lot of thrust, and in all likelihood Woundwort alone is a fair bit lighter than Gaplant. With all the extra equipment stacked it probably ends up heavier but has more than proportional thruster increase, plus the aforementioned usability benefits.

>>22960506
In all likelihood they could have been a perfectly prosperous if small nation. But Dogatie turned a legitimate grievance into an obsession that consumed his life and developed a state built around absolute loyalty and cult of strength. He never gave a shit about the people or the future, he just wanted to see Earth burn.
Even after his death and the following shenanigans, it would take decades for Jupiter to start recovering and turning into a decent place to live

How fast can transforming MS fly in atmosphere? They're full of rocket boosters so you'd expect supersonic or even hypersonic speeds, but they're never depicted travelling that fast (And also heat from air resistance would be incedible). Then again, some MS like picrel can escape the atmosphere under their ow thrust
>>
>>22961127
They gave some speed ratings for things in older material around Z Gundam but I'm not sure they actually say much about it now. One of the big things about Penelope and Xi, aside from M-Craft granting "anti-grav" of sorts, is that they've got beam barriers to sustain supersonic.

We have some numbers or comparative descriptions but they're always arbitrary like most stats, don't take them to heart or think about it too hard. Like the other anon said Penelope and Xi have Beam Barriers which negate air resistance and enable supersonic movement, IIRC Xi can reach Mach 2.
Also [Fiver] does actually use a booster to go into low orbit, it's basically a ballistic missile.

What you're saying is making a lot of sense. A Zeta Plus being intercepted mid flight by this experimental Titans machine would make for a sick encounter. Dogfights between transforming MS is something that we haven't really seen before in the franchise, I think, which is odd.

>>
>>22964716
>>22964856
I always find it funny when the concept of durability is brought up in Gundam, because it's usually a one-off thing that the rest of the setting ignores. So you get snipers with overheating barrels but then mega launchers spam fire, or you get beam magnums with "high recoil" abd beam recoil is never mentioned anywhere else in the setting
>>
>>22964963
Evidently it's not a problem with these weapons, either because they're better designed or something else gets in the way first. Beam weapon recoil isn't exactly a new thing either, we see it all the way back in the original series and every other rifle has a secondary rifle for a reason.
Incidentally, beam magnum is another good case of an overheating example - the mag size limit is set the way it is because any more rapid fire would permanently damage the barrel. It can be counteracted with carrying spare mags, but for the most part if Unicorn is used the way it's intended the overheating is not a problem. Otherwise there's a flaw on the strategic side.

Not a must, but if you know original F90 manga and Crossbone you're gonna get a lot more references. Silhouette Formula will also come in handy. Parts of the manga are an adaptation of the Formula Record UC 0123 game but you don't need to know the game. There's a few scattered callbacks to other things too but nothing major.

Original F90 manga was released in 1990 and it's a short 8 chapter story about the Federation sending a fleet to crush Mars Zeon. Takes place about ~10 years before the F91 movie.
https://gundam.fandom.com/wiki/Mobile_Suit_Gundam_F90

Silhouette F91 is a 1992 manga that takes place just before the F91 movie, about a bunch of prototype Gundams that were developed from Anaheim stealing technical data from SNRI.
https://gundam.fandom.com/wiki/Mobile_Suit_Gundam_Silhouette_Formula_91_in_UC_0123

F90 Fastest Formula (aka F90FF) is a 2019 manga series that is 11 volumes, it's a standalone story with its own plot but it introduces a lot more lore and exposition around the F90 project as well as events and characters in the years before F91 takes place.
https://gundam.fandom.com/wiki/Mobile_Suit_Gundam_F90:_Fastest_Formula

F90 Cluster is a 2024 manga series that is a direct sequel to the F90FF manga and set just before F91.

it begins in UC0120 and ends in UC0121. F91 happens in 0123.
You're probably thinking about FF with ~10 years before remark.
>F90 Cluster is a 2024 manga series that is a direct sequel to the F90FF manga and set just before F91.
It starts right before the ending of F90 which is a year before Formula Report and two years before Silhouette Formula.
There are also Climax U.C. and a Ghost of Formula one-shot, but they are less important.

It's an operating system somehow developed out of dead newtype chidlren, there's a chapter in the manga/prequel chapter that deals with this. It's meant to help the MS quickly adapt to the reconfigurations, and takes a lot of work off the pilot by managing a lot of the equipment. For example, before BUNNyS, suits with multiple arms like gigantic units could only use one set of arms at a time, or only fire one type of gun at a time, etc. Think of it like an AI copilot.

No, it's just a physical slab, but maybe it could have anti-beam coating. I-field on any mobile suit remains firmly rooted in the "special snowflake only" category for many years to come, even though it's technically possible to apply to a grunt suit.
>>
>>22972710
It can be equipped with a small diffusion beam that can shoot down missiles or try and counter beam fire, but it's mostly just for cockpit protection. An I-Field would be too much for a suit at that time.
This gear also predates Marasai by a few years since it was designed for Hizack first.
>armor is useless cause beams
That is a bit of an oversimplification, even Mk-II which is designed around agility for that reason carries a shield, for example. Beam-reflective coatings have been in use since late OYW and are effective and will continue to be effective for years to come, it's just that "effective" in terms of anti-beam armor means a few shots at most. Still enough to save lives though.

Titans controlled Federation's in-house weapons development like the various arsenals or Newtype Institutes, nevermind directly started and ran several.
After Federation got cozy with Anaheim again these groups and personnel inevitably took the backseat, but SNRI was already established as a unified in-house think tank by UC 0093, though it would take a long time before challenging Anaheim was a realistic goal.
In short, yes. There's inevitably going to be overlap between them.
Matter of fact. Monthly Mobile Machine explicitly namedrops NAMSD Labs as an institute where some TR Plan personnel found themselves in down the line and that it cooperated with and was later absorbed into SNRI. They are known to have been involved in BR-GM C2 which is closely tied to the TR Plan vision of Barzam, and later also worked on F89, the mass production type F90.
And F90 itself is conceptually very similar to TR-6 as a general purpose Gundam model with great versatility through optional equipment. Every other Reboot volume on TR-6 references it, too.

SNRI is still alive and well, it's only the Side 2 branch that became BESPA and the rest was entirely uninvolved. Both it and Anaheim cooperated with League Militaire, though the exact extent is a bit unclear. IIRC some card game or other states the Victory series was built by Anaheim itself, but most sources indicate they only provided the locations on the Moon and didn't take an active part in the development.
Meanwhile F90FF had Otis here show up and have him take part in Minovsky Drive tests. Meanwhile old man Romera was apparently the project leader at Anaheim for designing F71. It's cool how by the time of Victory they're both just old, long retired guys working together to resist Zanscare's invasion and support child soldie- hold up.
Also do NOT ask what Count Oy Nyung was doing back in the day.
>>
>>22974880
The manga also has an interview with AI scientists talking about the f90's advanced personality AI, and they mention how it might be bases off older systems that captured the "soul" of people like EXAM and other systems that aren't names and are dismissed as conspiracy theories. And then the scientist gets assasinated.
Now, I'm not saying it's BUNNyS..., but Mars Zeon did make their own F90 complete with gigantic arms...

Hauzerie also calls him a "friend".

Also worth noting that one source states he was a Manhunter higher up before retiring. You know, the guys that can and do employ even military vehicles in the process of resettling illegal residents into space. They're not Titans level but they are a police unit with the tools and influence of a military group yet their primary task is dealing with unarmed civilians whose crime is not paying off Feddie bigwigs fast enough.
And Nyung left them because he was tired of the bureaucracy of his position.
This is all from an encyclopedia from the 90s so not long after show release but also not really referenced by anything since then - not that there were many chances to explore his character in the meantime. Either way, don't necessarily take it as gospel.
Having him be in charge of this report could be a reference to this backstory or reinterpreting him as a turbo glowie, it's hard to say for now.

None of the other guys seem to have done anything too awful (you know, besides some making weapons of war for a living before and now using a 13 year old as their turbo ace) and to be fair that last stand was fucking badass and one of the peaks of the entire franchise. Nyung got offed way earlier, but he still came off as a pretty chill and good dude, it's entirely possible he mellowed out or had a change of heart with age.

Apparently it's part of a pretty short figure series called Armor Girls Project that included some Gundam girls. It's also inexplicably compatible with robot spirits so buying the MS Girl is how you can make a regular Super Refined Barzam figure because it's funny I guess.
See pic related, and also with Full Armor Mk-II parts strapped on sans chest. Makes sense these fit, really.
I can't find any good pics of the backpack structure right now but I think it's pretty much just the G-Defenser with the escape pod still stuck in. The reason it looks so nuts is that the AGP figures come with this sub arm set attached onto the lower back. It's made up of these triangular portions and has four sub arms stuck on the back. I think these are to help the girls hold their guns and pose more fluidly with them but they can be used for crazier things too.
Incidentally, the G-Defenser binders being mounted this way reminds me of how old lore mentioned there were plans to equip them with claws, beam cannons etc. besides just missiles and nobody has done anything with that tidbit in 40 years. Maybe when Reboot gets to the Earth arc? Fujioka already teased that Super Barzam...

On Haze'n-thley II (and base Woundwort too) the booster covers the head in the transformation but there's a bit more rotating involved. Makes sense if TR-6 is designed as a variable suit from the start whereas TR-S is like a Hazel on steroids and only really achieves that with additional equipment, the base Hazel Hrair is most likely not transformable.

Well, not explicitly anyway. I'm not saying D Gundam Third's waist section is very similar to Barzam but I am saying D Gundam was first built out of scavenged junk after the first Neo Zeon War and Third was upgraded and refitted by Federation with cutting edge tech.

>Is there an illustration with all the head variants?
I don't believe so, no. Been thinking about trying to compile them but that's easier said than done.
> I could swear HZII didn't have a Gundam face
Woundy (probably) always has a proper Gundam face, it can just be covered up by top parts or the Mk-V-style spiky chin. Regular Haze'n-thley II is typically depicted with that whereas Rah-II usually has a bare face.
>Oh god the naming scheme is getting further tangled up
Always has been. Don't forget Advanced Woundwort too. It is explained as in-universe confusion and misunderstandings due to the unique naming system and communication problems in the late war chaos.

>>22981916
There is a decent enough drawing that shows how the Woundwort head just adds and removes bits to form some of the common ones though.

Then there's four eyed Woundworts somewhere?

Yeah we have this handy drawing but it's not comprehensive and we don't know if it's completely accurate with Reboot adjustments.
Take a look at Woundy's head before Haze'n-thley II parts are added here >>22981883 . This design is also used for depicting the modification into Barzam II's head, though with the v-fin removed.
It's pretty different from the bare form depicted in this pic byt it's anyone's guess if this is a redesign of it or a separate thing, it could go either way.
Then there's the other forms like Kehaar II or the v-fin-less big sensor for Queenly.
Or the four eyed one that cameod in Try with no explanation. The main lineart for Woundwort also kinda looks like it has four eyes but all other drawings are clearly normal dual sensor so it's a strange situation.
This fanart >>22965797 has some good interpretation of it based on Fujioka's comments but it's still fanart and not necessarily totally accurate.

I know a lot of TTT MS were designed to be equals/counters to current and projected enemy MS, for example the Hazen-thley II was meant to counter the ZZ. But which of the MS is the counter/match to the actual Zeta gundam?

Broadly speaking Gaplant has similar capabilities and by extension Hrairoo II should still be a good matchup to it just like for Zeta Plus.
Hrairoo II is specialized for high attitude interception against atmospheric entries and other fighters but this isn't the only environment where Zeta Plus operates so odds are it can still contend with it well closer to ground or in space.
Mk-III Halpuley was designed as a counter against Zeta too but that's not a TR Plan suit.

Is Hazel compatible with the G-defenser? Can you make a Super Hazel?
>>22982988
Completely forgot about this. I guess Zeta gets outperfomerd halfway through the show too, much like how the Grandaddy was outperformed by Googs eventually. I imagine something like a Bawoo is plain better than Zeta then?

>Is Hazel compatible with the G-defenser? Can you make a Super Hazel?
I believe the correct answer here would be "no, but actually yes". Hazel's regular backpack with booster pod is unlikely to be able to interface with G-Defenser but thanks to Trans Pack system the whole backpack can be easily switched out to Mk-II's. Then you can plug in G-Defenser no problem. There might be some software incompatibility but not to an extent that it can't be fixed.
>I guess Zeta gets outperfomerd halfway through the show too
Not quite the same situation since Zeta only showed up halfway through the show, and while tech progressed real fucking fast it was never matched by mass produced. One-offs and prototypes are another matter, but much like with Amuro Kamille was definitely smoothing out any gaps.
I wouldn't say Bawoo is superior to Zeta, really. It is better suited to mass production and when comparing base loadouts Bawoo has more firepower, but the separation-transformation system is more of an alternative rather than outright upgrade to Waverider Mode. Also, no Biosensor.
>>
>>22983203
I imagine BUNNyS would help with any software compatibilities. Probably. Although I'm not sure if Hazels ever got it, or if it only started being used with Woundworts. Then again, Hazenthley probably has it, though it uses a Woundwort-based core...
>>

1.37 MB

>>22983207
BUNNyS would handle it all in a flash, yeah. But even without that it's just the kind of thing mechanics do anyway. Either way, Hazel didn't have BUNNyS, that was only uploaded into TR-6 and potentially TR-5. TR-1 Haze'n-thley uses a Primrose II with Woundwort's torso and arms as a sub arm unit, and that also doubles as a processing unit for BUNNyS installed in it and supporting the entire MS.
However even without that late Primrose models were designed with enhanced compatibility in mind as predecessor and prototype to BUNNyS and TR-6's universal conversion system. It has a small subarm that can latch onto and interface with any Federation-made backpack beyond just Trans Pack system standard. Mk-II is already made with that in mind but having that enhanced compatibility could help mount the G-Defenser more easily.
And, of course, a Drum Frame based platform like TR-6 or Barzam could attach a G-Defenser directly onto their back without needing Mk-II backpack as an intermediary.

That's sick. So in theory, if a squadron equipped with TTT MS took over say, an AEUF base, they could feasibly use a lot of their parts to upgrade their own units right? Literally wearing the skins of their enemies.
A thought just came to me. How exactly does the GP03 connect to Dendrobium? Just imagine a Barzam II as the core unit, using it's 4 arms plus crotch subarm to wield a bunch of weapons along with Dendroibum's arsenal

That, or also just grab whatever their own supply lines can provide and make some use of it instead of depending on specific parts.
Based on what I checked Stamen-Dendrobium connection is via the side skirt binders, they lock in place letting the upper half still have some freedom of movement. A TR-6 unit could figure out a way to slot in there just fine, no doubt. Or replicate similar performance with their standardized parts. Hell, that's exactly what Queenly is.

This one in particular is the 0083 Settei collection. It doesn't actually explain the mechanism but it os pretty illustrative and as accurate as it gets since it's reference material for the OVA itself.
The info is from Gundam Bible which has a short description of the docking mechanism in GP03's volume.

>In that instant, the Woundwort EX's frame reacted. It downed three Nemos in the blink of an eye. Once he locked on and pulled the trigger, it automatically tracked and destroyed enemies.
>Moreover, the potent shield cannon of the Woundwort EX pierced the bridge of the Salamis Kai. A devastating blow to the battleship. The three remaining Nemos promptly retreated.
>Eliard was stunned by that destructive power. He'd experienced it in simulations, but this was his first taste of it in live combat. Deploying something like this at this stage was out of the question. Eliard was freshly convinced of that.
This is BUNNyS. This is OVER THE MIND.

>>22983426
This isn't just aim assist, this is outright executing the entire maneuver against multiple targets at the pull of the trigger, using multiple weapons with optimal targeting and needing nothing but to lock onto them.

Judging by the art and the paragraph, it sounds like the pilot just held down the trigger and the MS automatically moved the cannon and shot at all the locked on targets. Impressive and better than anything else at the time, but I wouldn't call it "maneuver with multiple weapons"

this is absolutely the board for that, especially now that we're riding a sinking thread to the bottom
>>22985411
Are all Purus created equal? Obviously Alicia is special, and I'm guessing her second in command (forgot her name) is also stronger. Or is it just a rank thing? Also, are all the Barzams purus? Or are they regular Rezeon soldiers? How many Purus are there anyways?

I am in this thread literally every day so probably, yeah. In other places, who's to say?
>>22985422
Still a lil bit risky I think, at least till it's around page 7 or something.

Alicia herself is probably the strongest among them, there's a reason she was at the forefront of the founding war with Omega. Gloria (the right hand) certainly gives a good showing too, but the other ones seem to be varied. Hard to say if it's down to individual predisposition and talent or other things, I guess it comes back to nature vs nurture in the end. We do know they're not all exact copies though, Diana (the boy in your pic) is particularly well suited to piloting Inle for example.

That's fair, coming too often can be painful after all.
And now I'm leaving for the night.

Biggest news? The fuck are you on. I'll take Gaia Gear over this slop, thanks.

That's fair, though it's also fair to add many suits had little less than that yet earned decades of popularity. What info we do have on Rabscuttle is already very interesting, that thing has a Mobile Fortress mode too.

Okay, if this is such an interesting story about an adequate Zeon on Mars, with such amazing mecha designs in huge quantities, then should we expect a normal manga and anime based on this project?
>>
>>22986199
it does have a manga though
and anime adaptations with Gundam don't work the way people think, Bandai has been all about mixed media for solid 20 years now. It's just that this approach is fucking horrendous for anyone outside of Japan so people don't even realize it.

The artist even said on Twitter that this isn't an official comic. He's just doodling a story that's in his head
>>
>>22986594
no?
>Unlike the original manga, this work is billed as an official spin-off of Gundam, so I would like to emphasize even more that we must always respect the great original work.

I get that you're a troll and kinda stupid, but you're just pitiful.
>>
>>22986596
Nice google translate. Try leaning my language you fuckwit.

"Unlike the original manga, which is labeled as an official sidestory, I feel all the more compelled to constantly keep my reverence for the esteemed original work firmly in mind."
>>
>>22986667
So in other words, AoZ Reboot is not a "gaiden", but a main work so to speak?
Good to know.
>>
>>22986794
No, despite it not being official, he's not stomping all over it. That's all he's saying. It's just him dicking around.
>>
>>22987112
Are you implying that it's some kind of Senitiel like deal, where Bamco doesn't own story and characters?
Because otherwise it's not up to him whether it is official or not and is something that can be overturned overnight on a whim.
If Bandai wants, it can easily say that Gigantis Counterattack got precedence over CCA despite it literally being a parody work.
>>
>>22987236
You have no fucking understanding when it comes to creating manga. You can have a publication that isn't official. As long as sunrise gets a royalty from it, they don't give two fucking shots about it unless they're involved.

It's not official. He wanted to continue his design work. Dengeki got that part and he got to toss out a Loli nonsense story.

Sunrise can overturn whatever the fuck they want. You saw how fast they erased the marriage comment in an interview (literally replaced the digital version in HOURS). so don't try coming at me with shit you're fucking uneducated about. You don't work with the artists and know the hellacious processes.
>>
>>22987529
Does that mean that Bandai re-licensed his AoZ Reboot fanfic to be able mention ReZeon on their HGUC Gunpla boxes?
>>
>>22987543
Proof
>>
>>22987543
Gunpla boxes also call Lord Astray "Load Astray" and call the Oiseau the Wazoo, so I hardly say they're reliable anymore.

If you don't trust a rando's photo look it up somewhere else.
>>22987789
Yes, but it is still a crime to steal intellectual property even if it is deriviative of your own.
If Bandai doesn't own AoZ ReBoot story, it can't use it, unless it licenses it back. If it does, it's official Gundam media, simple as.
>>
>>22987852
Oh yes because they're going to miss a cash grab for Gunpla that's LE. Get bend you dumb fuck.

If it were so preciously official, other media would've referenced it by now. But no, it's ignored just like Crossbone. They're not official. Get fucking over it
>>
>>22988083
>Oh yes because they're going to miss a cash grab for Gunpla
That's not what I said. They could've just scrubbed the mention of ReZeon, assuming only the design line and not the story is authorized by them. Furthermore, they could release it under another HG line, like they did with Thunderbolt and Origin. They didn't do either of those things.
>If it were so preciously official, other media would've referenced it by now.
It's already referenced in F90 Cluster, which is the first piece of media to take place on Mars since Reboot. And Fastest Formula before that took F89 from Crossbone Dust and made references to Jupiter Empire, though obviously it doesn't confirm anything as it's a prequel.
But even if it wasn't referenced, it's not a good gauge to say whether it is official or not. Do you know how long it took for Double Fake and SD G Gen UC related stuff to get referenced anywhere?
>>
>>22988402
Double Fake has been references for decades. Also, Cluster didn't reference Reboot. Too early in the timeframe for it.
>>
>>22990962
Christ you're retarded
>>
>>22990962
Reboot is set 30 years before Cluster. You can see Titans and ReZeon mecha in there.
