Somehow in this timeline Tem Ray already suffered a brain damage before getting suck into a vacuum of space when he designed this
I don't know why they felt the need to turn Grandpa into such a radically different design other than to sell new kits. Did the timelines diverge even before 0079?
>>230640531.To sell new gunpla2.Because they want to separate this timeline from classic UC and establish it as an AU3.Maybe some more undisclosed story reason like this being a timeloop similar to the NGE to RoE cycle.
>>23064053Because Khara has terrible aesthetics
>>23064009>>23064053>>23064069>>23064099Don't forget this breaks the lore about the Federation being behind newtypes.
>>23064099Reply to first post, best post
>>23064053It's really weird because they basically left the ships alone.
>>23064053That's literally it, that's the reason. There are classic Gundam collectors out there with shelves of RX-78 and it's variants, from classic, to fucking Hello Kitty cosplaying as Gundam, and an RX-78 Gundam Eva thing would be perfect for them to add to the collection.
>>23064053As I've heard through the grapevine they wanted the mobile suits to look and feel more mechanical
>>23064151Now they just look like skeletons instead.
>>23064102What? The White Gundam doesn't have a psycommu, it only has the RX-78's standard complement.
>>23064053I feel this design would look better if it wasn't celshaded.
>>23064133>and an RX-78 Gundam Eva thing would be perfect for them to add to the collectionNot if it looks fucking hideous its not
>>23064009I honestly don't think I can ever give this series a fair chance. Because I find every single thing about the aesthetics of the series, from the mecha designs to the characters, absolutely repulsive.I've seen the character designer do stuff for other things, and I just always hate their character designs. Something about them just makes me hate them and I can't understand why. But they just consistently put me off.
>>23064069>they want to separate this timeline from classic UC and establish it as an AUWe've already got-Classic OYW-Origin OYW-Thunderbolt OYW-Novel OYWDid they really need to use the OYW as a springboard for this?
>>23064338>NOOOO NOT ANOTHER OYW AAAAA NOOOOStop bitching and moaning.
>>23064338But the OYW is over in this timeline. We're in the early era of Zeta.
>>23064338They did not. I expect, like most remakes, it's going to miss the point of the original and make poor use of it, having little value in the connection besides getting butts in seats (or on websites or what have you), but perhaps we'll be surprised.
>>23064268I am the exact opposite. I can't get enough of this aesthetic, from all the mecha designs to the characters to the story to the setting. It's all really cool to me and I can't wait for the series to air.
>>23064338Fans bitch and whine every time they try something that isn't OYW. Then they bitch and whine when they do another "secret"/alternate OYW story. You'd think after all these years Bandai would learn that people will never be happy.
>>23064009> SUIT - Space Utilities instrument TacticalOh good- they have the hackjob Seed writers on staff that came up with all their inane acryonym head-nods...
>>23064338This isn't OYW, it's UC 0085>>23064686The military does this kinda stuff irl all the time, Acronyms are fitting for the setting.
APOLOGIZE NOW
>>23064338Retard "Classic OYW" can be split into TV OYW and Movie OYW.
>>23064674To be fair, americans aren't the main demographic so they don't really care.
>>23064053>don't know why they felt the need to turn Grandpa into such a radically different design other than to sell new kitsDo they need another justification anon? It's a franchise to sell toys. Same reason shits different in the origin same reason there's the ver.ka, same reason there's the G40, and it'll be the same reason next time they decide to redesign the RX-78.Beyond that the team probably wanted to do their own spin on shit too but really that sell gunpla thing is the end all be all at all times.
>>23064818Kick rocks, bitch
>>23064818Head is horrible, I unironically prefer gquuuuuuux head with the vfin closed
>>23064818this thing still looks dumbGquacks actually has good designs, i love the rx78 redesign and i want an MG of it NOW
>>23065412Neither are good designs and both look dumb
>>23065412lol. I prefer Requeim Gundam to Eva Gundam. Nice joke anon lol.
>>23064818requiem was such a shitshow. I love it
>>23064009the design is good because it finally has the 60mm head vulcans at an appropriate scale.
>>23064053Maybe Char infiltrated Side 7 earlier in this timeline before the Gundam was completely armoured. However, I cannot understand how this design works with a core fighter configuration
>>23064009It's not that bad.
>>23066551looks like the core fighter is the backpack, the cockpit just slots into the torso through the back
>>23064009>We want the Evangelion audience.
>>23066551Core Fighter plugs into the back. It doesn't use the Core Block System. Like the Cluster/Crossbone Gundams.
>>23064009I've realized the problem. It looks unfinished. Looks like they just painted the inner frame and attached only some of the panels.
>>23066829Then it is not RX-78-2
>>23067165>meanwhile Zeon just painted red doesn't even add anything
>>23066551>cannot understand how this design works with a core fighter configuration
>>23064069>>2.Because they want to separate this timeline from classic UC and establish it as an AUIs Sunrise really this lacking in ideas?That to create an AU they literally make a divergent UC timeline?At first I didn't thought they would do it when I first saw the trailers...until I saw the Zakus.Just how many divergent UC timelines will they make?All they have to do is make a Gundam show that goes beyond the Sol System's borders. That is all what Gundam needs and this instantly opens a shitton of new paths and creates a breeding ground for new ideas.
>>23067408>All they have to do is make a Gundam show that goes beyond the Sol System's borders. That is all what Gundam needs and this instantly opens a shitton of new paths and creates a breeding ground for new ideas.You don't get it. AUs are meant to be one shots to get new people into Gundam. But they still need to be close enough to UC to make some of the audience then transition to it, since it's the only timeline with consistent support and releases.Everything has to trace back to UC in some direct way. Even if you got for an inter-galactic Gundam, they'd go heavy on UC references and reused plot threads to make up for the setting so there'd still be an UC connection.Even something like G Gundam probably won't happen now unless it's a Gunpla series where they outright reuse old designs and variations of them.
>>23067250The core fighter here is kinda similar to the Victory Gundam's
>>23064338Is the Origin anime even a different timeline though? The manga is obviously a different one, but the anime I'm not ao sure
>>23067848It literally contradicts the old Gundam anime where they didn't have humanoid giant robot fighting machines on the EF side until Project V.
>>23067517>This entire post...That's both retarded and limiting idea-wise.Reusing plot threads? I'm not against reusing certain plot threads but still limiting it all to only the Sol System is one of the reasons Gundam stagnates here.Why not take it at least to Battletech levels of scale? Outside the Sol System, spanning hundreds of star systems...this creates a place that would be more than just Earth vs Colonies. Entire Star Nations vs entire Star Nations. Differences in politics, ideologies and more.Hell, that could go on a far greater scale and with far more potential.Also still remember the whole "NO ALIENS" thing Tomino has due to the whole super-robot thing and seeing aliens as the big bads hence why he made mobile suits less super and more realistic military fiction.In all honesty if a Gundam show beyond the Sol System would happen...then why not make it not only not Earth vs. Colonies, not only Star Nations vs Star Nations, but have the aliens be integrated into human societies and even have their own star nations too (with their own MSs).I thought once about such a setting and it would eliminate the whole thing why Tomino didn't go with including aliens.You make the aliens not like some type of space monarchy, you even make them no different from humans in many aspects (Daimos did it well), and even have certain races be literally part of human societies of said nations.This way aliens are not seen as something that alien, they are no different from humans, and they would come in a variety of personalities.All in a setting where race and origin are worth little and more what one's allegiance is more.All while there being cool alien fauna and flora along with planets raging from mundane to bizarre.But no. Let us recycle previous shows instead of having one where humanity takes 3/4th of the Milky Way, integrates various alien civilizations into itself and watch how that evolves...
>>23067887because of the Guncannon? But I thought the Guncannon was part of Project V.
>>23067408They don't even need to leave Sol, just get out of the Earth Sphere. Make it a story of two factions fighting among the moons of Jupiter and Saturn. Just don't make it an "Earth VS Spacenoids" story.
>>23065664because your a tasteless westoid pig
>>23068048In Origin the Guncannon and Guntank's pre-date the development of the Zaku by years. The Project V is a next-gen MS program to contest with the Zaku, and some of the Gundams developments trickle down into the old Guncannons in the form of upgrades. In the original series the Gundam, Gundannon, and Guntank are all brand new designs developed by Project V as a response to the Zaku.
>>23064914this is some major league 1000 IQ plays shit and I'm here for it
>>23068792In the animated Origin, the project V Guncannon and Guntank are different from the previous Guncannon (renamed "Guncannon First Type" and "Guntank Early Type" - and they're classified as "main battle tanks", not mobile suits, so the lines about the Federation not having mobile suits before project V still work).To be fair, it's true they haven't included The Origin in official UC timelines yet, but we're starting to see designs from The Origin popping up in other UC stuff so it's clear it's bleeding over.
>>23067996>But no. Let us recycle previous shows instead of having one where humanity takes 3/4th of the Milky Way, integrates various alien civilizations into itself and watch how that evolves...You know I was thinking we could always have a star wars scenario can happen in Gundam where many people on both sides are still human and the big bad is still a human but there are aliens too on both sides.
>>23068892>they're classified as "main battle tanks", not mobile suits
>>23068945http://www.gundam-the-origin.net/en/mechanical/0400.html>Although it is a humanoid mobile weapon, it was developed with an overwhelming emphasis on artillery attacks, and thus the Earth Federation Forces categorized it as an MBT in the same category as the Guntank Early Type.
>>23068892>To be fair, it's true they haven't included The Origin in official UC timelines yet, but we're starting to see designs from The Origin popping up in other UC stuff so it's clear it's bleeding over.They've had plans for a long time now. Ten years ago, they launched MSD (Mobile Suit Discovery) which appeared to be Origin's MS variation design series but already tried to tie itself to other works by introducing explanations and in-between designs that lead to 08th MS Team models and some classic MSV.
>>23068932This would be the best and most potential-filled thing that would happen to Gundam.
>We want the Evafags to ruin the gundam fandom.Sunrise is making a big mistake.
>>23064053Because Ikuto Yamashita is, sadly, a fucking hack who it getting on in years.
