>In the staff and cast interviews in the "Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX Special Feature" in the November 2025 issue of Monthly Gundam Ace, it is stated that Scirocco was the designer of the Hambrabi in this work. It is said that Scirocco designed it while on a Jupiter fleet heading to Jupiter, sent it to the Earth Federation Forces, and assembled it at the Augusta Research Institute according to the blueprints. However, the intention behind designing this third-generation mobile suit remains unknown.We will have to wait for the HG model kit in June for more information.The Chalia Rick Dom manual reveals that Rick Doms were prioritised to ace pilots(so Tokuwan included). The other green coloured ones copied and pasted across the background in episode 8 during the Luna II siege may have been a dud along with the number of Gelgoogs. Zeon Gelgoog gunpla comes out in June possibly with some new info as well. 01 Gundam and Sayla's Light Cannon did have fluff in their pbandai releases. Only new thing was that the 01 Gundam piloted was considered as skilled. (Not just skilled for the occasion but across the board, so better than Denim I guess)
>>23790960I'm forever frustrated that we never manage to see GQ Hygogg and Doven Wolf.
The shock harkens on the Rick Dom are exclusive to Gaia and Ortega as they are described as a plamo original feature for the Chalia's gunpla due to leftover parts. Similarly, the stigma hooks are exclusive to Sugai's Gelgoog.
>>23790960In the 1979 anime, more Rick Doms were killed onscreen than the number of Zakus killed. The GQ Rick Dom gives it more of an ace status.I am not sure if most Rick Doms in regular UC 0079 were only assigned to veterans and above so that after many of them were killed(Amuro and Solomon), only cadets were left to pilot the Gelgoogs.
>>23790979It is kinda the same with Xavier's Gyan. He feels so powerful in Gqux, unlike the sloppy jobber it was in the 79 show.
>>23790982Still waiting for the purple pbandai Gyan to reveal whether it was a One Year War or post war design.There is still no Great Mechanics book for GQX, and the previous Seed Freedom one had no new info at all.
>>23790991I believe Gyan itself is a OYW design while Hakuji lance is a 0085 upgrade.
>>23790960>extended GQ lore
>>23790991Shiiko Sugai must have been an ace pilot and Federation only had the Light Cannon as their mainline machine. This is even more simplified than 1979 0079 where Federation had GM and Balls and the White Base trio.Speaking of pbandai manuals, Seed Freedom, Gundam Eight, Requiem for Vengance, GQX all have some fluff.Hildofr reference in the LeSaun Zaku, so Requiem for Vengenace definitely follows the style of MS Igloo.
>>23790996Should have brought Zudah back baka.
>>23790991We could interpret that the Luna Titanium alloy used on the Light Cannon is an offshoot variant alloy that is cheaper than the Luna Titanium used on the prototypes.In episode 4, it was described that CRS' Light Cannons use a low pressure beam cannon, so they can't fire a blast as powerful as the prototype Guncannon.
>>23790982>unlike the sloppy jobber it was in the 79 show.You mean the mobile suit that allowed even a scrub like M'Quve give Amuro a hard workout?

>>23791001the door is wide open for Zudah at some point from Lalah's montage, no reason to rush things
>>23791004>Acked in 40 seconds>Hard workoutThis trash is supposed to be an ace.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFHlspys5_E
>>23791015>Acked in 40 secondsConsider how lethal beam weapons are.>This trash is supposed to be an ace.No, it's supposed to be an ornamental unit for a commander that was never supposed to be on the battlefield himself.
Amuro was planned to appear as a civilian in Side 7 who managed to flee to safety along with the other refugees. Char was only meant to appear in a 5 minute flashback.
>>23791020>it's supposed to be an ornamental unit for a commander that was never supposed to be on the battlefield himself.No, Gyan was built for practical combat and mass production but ultimately Gelgoog performed better and chosen to be mass produced instead. Now imagine this exact jobber Gyan but with worse stats.
>>23791011>LT BURNING>Tan and orange MS>SLEGGAR>Alexsounds fun as fuck
>>23791034>Gyan was built for practical combat and mass productionYes, but specifically M'Quve is a shit pilot that wouldn't be able to perform well regardless of the unit. It's crazy how long he lasted and the credit for that goes to his Gyan's shoefitter.>but ultimately Gelgoog performed better and chosen to be mass produced instead.By "ultimately Gelgoog performed better" you mean that Zeonic, Zimmad and MIP all came together to make sure that it is the best it could be. Gyan being in the competition was just a formality.>Now imagine this exact jobber Gyan but with worse stats.That wouldn't happen, considering that all the known further developments are upgrades: be it Eos (made in collaboration with Zeonic), that one early short mass-production run from a board game that gave it a beam rifle or a potential UMP upgrade Krieger, which was an existing spec in the main UC and had some parts made.
"Siegaxe"Mouth breather feels so fitting here yet simply not insulting enough.
>>23791066Holy newfags.
>>23791067Yeah only newfags are somehow still repeating the AI "translation". Genuinely embarrassing to be on the same site.
>>23791069You don't need to double down on your newfaggotry anon.
>>23791061Eos are the ace units, not mass production version.
>>23791079I wouldn't call Kycillia's guard exactly ace, but I can see it becoming a standard modification.It's not like Zeon does "mass-production means cheaper" thing.
>>23791095>It's not like Zeon does "mass-production means cheaper" thing.And that right there, to me, is why they started selling off Zakus after the One Year War ended in GQuuuuuuX as the pyrrhic victory it's seen as: war's over, Zeon now has new mobile suits, and the newly-independent nation-states in the Lagrangian points will want their own mobile suits, so good time to sell off older equipment to alleviate the financial consequences of the war they started while mass-producing the newer mobile suits without making them inferior to the prototype.
>>23791184It took them 5 years to build about 7-9 Bigzams.
>>23791344I'mma be a nigga and ask how much of that was budget limitations, post-war demilitarization, actual difficulty in construction, and lack of available parts?
>>23791095>It's not like Zeon does "mass-production means cheaper" thing.Mass production means you have to do cost cutting to make sure things don't get too expensive. An ace unit can have anything it needs to be a powerhouse but a MP unit has to be bare minimum and economic. Gyan is irrelevant since its conception and most of AUs tend to give it more spotlight because most of people felt like it deserved a better showcase.
>>23791011Sign me the fuck up
>>23791011 >only one zeek design eh...
>>23791011Translations never ever right? Also I guess in this fan continuity Christina got pushed into active combat during the OYW instead of fighting the Cyclops Team on Side 6.
>>23791410well how often do we get translations of fanfics?
>>23791425Basically never, that was a stupid ass question. Hopefully somebody scans it at least, I'd love to see more of the art and the mechanical designs.
>>23791426Sorry mate didn't mean to be a downer about it, but couldn't help post the obvious statement. If you can spare $10.50 you can get the ebook and just post it here.

>>23790965>Doven WolfThey would have never made that.
>>23791184It's not that different from why in the main UC Earth Federation military was selling GMs, Jegans and Heavyguns to the local colonial forces.>>23791344Isn't that just the Gihren's personal force (like Gyans are Kycilia's)? Zeon's regular force likely uses the successor to Gelgoog.>>23791369The cost cutting only matters in peace times. Even Earth Federation was happy to fund all the Titans' fund wasting projects under a terrorist threat of Zeon remnants.Gyan wasn't that different by its base specs from Gelgoog, so it wasn't some kind of money sink.Also, you probably should tell this to the First Neo Zeon which was trying to chose between two monsters of mobile suits (Doven Wolf and Zaku III) as their main mass-production machine.
>>23791503When you think about it, GQuuuuuuX Gelgoog is kind of like Doven Wolf. Both are descendants of Gundams.
>>23791503Psycho Gundam existsminiaturize and mass produce it and you have a Dooben Wolf analogue
>>23791843>It's not that different from why in the main UC Earth Federation military was selling GMs, Jegans and Heavyguns to the local colonial forces.Weren't most colonies part of the EF anyway, thus no need to pay for their mobile suits?
>>23792005Kind of, but not really. EF in space is decentralized as fuck and you'd have to still pay for local police force.And by the time of Victory the entire Earth Sphere was basically a bunch of nearly independant colony states. Basically Cosmo Babylonia War became the start of Space Warring States period, which eventually led to the rise of Zanscare.
>>23791011Eyepatches really are a character design cheat code. works every time.
>>23791433Even if someone else posts it here I'll probably buy it to throw some support their way, this is really fucking cool.>>23791497Is that an armored monorail?
>>23791034>No, Gyan was built for practical combat and mass production but ultimately Gelgoog performed better and chosen to be mass produced instead. Now imagine this exact jobber Gyan but with worse stats. We already have a official idea of what grunt Gyans look like, and they range from just as good as the original to better.I'm not even sure why the Gyan is getting shit for losing to the Gundam, Char was going to lose just as hard(WITH help from Lalah) in the Gelgoog he had
>>23793038
>>23793040>>23793038Gyan would look better with a Dom head
>>23793184that's just when they draw a Dom like a girl
>>23793038>>23793040Videogame is not canon since that Gyan is better than Gelgoog and was chosen for mass production. You might as well bringing up SEED Gyan to prove how strong it is.
>>23793374I can bring up that Neo Zeon got like 3 Gyan successors and 0 Gelgoog ones (unless you count ReGelgu, which is just a moderate upgrade over the original MS)
>>23793040They did go the Giren no Yabou route by having Char steal the Gundam, Bigzam mass produced and Gyan mass produced at least for Kycillia's Newtype guard.
>>23791011>One-eyed Christina >loli HamanWhy can't this be official
>>23793374>Videogame is not canon since that Gyan is better than Gelgoog and was chosen for mass production.Motherfucker is arguing about canon when he doesn't even know what he's talking about, the Gyan is not any different, you the player chooses the Gyan over the Gelgoog and that's it
>>23791011Punished Chris is the dank shit
>>23793413>you the player chooses theSo non-canon then? Thanks for agreeing with me.
>>23793477see>>23793038>We already have a official idea of what grunt Gyans look likeCanon was never the discussion retard
>>23792120>Is that an armored monorail?we don't see any rail in that pic but the overall body of the lead vehicle makes me think of the JtJ four-legged Zock so in all likelihood it's a hovertrain
>>23793388The Gelgoog had plenty of successors, but not all of them were Axis-made.
>>23791061>specifically M'Quve is a shit pilot that wouldn't be able to perform well regardless of the unit. It's crazy how long he lasted and the credit for that goes to his Gyan's shoefitterWouldn't you need some piloting capability to be able to make any use of a really good machine
>>23790991Wait.>they had the Guncannon and not the Gundam, so they mass-produced the GundamThis makes sense for a second, but then>you lost your versatile/close-range MS but have your medium-range one>so you start mass-producing your medium-range one even though on paper versatility would probably be the most well-rounded>and gave it close-range weaponryDo we have any justification for this beyond "they still had the Guncannon so they just went with testing it and then making more"
>>23794773To me I think the implication is more that they tried to make the Light Guncannon too versatile so it wasn't really amazingly good at anything.
>>23794773It's not stated, but I think it's a fair assumption that it's also a mobile suit that Zeon know less about. Going back to the Guncannon and re-developing a more CQB friendly suit out of it hopefully means they don't have quite as complete a picture of its strengths, weaknesses and specs like they would from having the full RX-78 data package.
>>23794018Yeah, and the best of them is Advanced Galbaldy. I know.You could as well point out that the concept behind Neo Zeon's Zaku III already makes a separate Gelgoog successor useless.
>>23794815>>23794822Ok fair enough, that makes a bit more senseI didn't like how the show turned out, but it had a lot of neat potential and interesting notes
>>23791011>>23793421are those daguza and reccoa? then who's the last guy, oc do not steal?
>>23795412Alberto Vist
>>23794773Originally, 01 Gundam and Light Cannon did not exist and Char's apperance was only for a 5 minute flashback.It was then revised to have a full length flashback/prologue, so they had to come up with Federation type MS in such a short schedule to flesh out One Year War by combining existing models, so they came up with the 01 Gundam and Light Cannon.One of the drafts had Char destroy 01 Gundam in his first fight at Side 7, retrieving the wreckage of this MS with the cockpit stabbed, and in the hangar of the captured Pegasus, there was also a Guncannon intact.So I guess, they could have went with a GM or Light Cannon and later made it that Zeon did not have a captured Guncannon and most Operation V data destroyed, and choosing the Light Cannon would make the deviation in One Year War history a lot more interesting.The Light Cannon manual did specify that the Federation got the arms and close combat capability from the surviving data of the Gundam.In one of the drafts, while receiving intel on how the mobile armor Adzam performed at Odessa, Gihren did comment that he received intel that the Federation developed a Light Cannon reusing the mobile suit(s) they had left.
>>23795258There's five different interesting show premises competing for screentime in a single cour, if it had focused on any one of them or just one or two it could've been good instead of just entertaining.
>>23795523Honestly I think that they should have focused less on the actual postwar politics of the alternate timeline because I find that to be the least interesting aspect of the show.
Some new info from the storyboard included in Vol.3 Bluray.https://youtube.com/shorts/lhpOZM_N644?si=tf9Yib3dugI3VCkSThe grasshopper timeline where Gundam kills Char has been hinted to be Amuro judging from the lines uttered to be identical to Amuro from 1979 episode 41, but this could merely be the mirror the scenes and using the dialogue as markers. So could it still be Shuji?The writer said that Shuji was teleported from episode 7 to a summoned real RX-78 in episode 11/12. In the scene where Char asks if Shuji could pilot the Red Gundam, he replied of course, hunting at past experience of piloting an RX-78.So Shuji could have been the original killer of Char or have been dimension hopping with the RX-78.Note that Shuji has never used a firearm from the Red Gundam or RX-78.
>>23795551This is so stupid
>>23795515Does an extra dinky (it's not that dinky) cannon make that big of a difference>>23795523That too>could have been clan battles>could have been clan battles as part of a cold war within Zeon>could have been a cold war within Zeon>instead it's clan battles, an unrelated cold war, and newtype magic bullshit, references to other better shows, with the characters having learned nothing

What is the explanation for this phenomenon of westoid brains not being developed enough to understand GQuX? It's very perplexing and confusing.Inb4 "I understood it just fine, it's just bad" and similar inane blabbering
>>23795669Then explain your correct understanding of it, eastoid
>>23795674It's like explaining that grass is green. You can see it yourself if you're not stupid and explaining it is a waste of breath
>>23795679Ok so you don't understand it, got it
>>23795669lack of religion makes them overanalyze children cartoons
>>23795414are you shitting me
>>23795669Fag wars and marvel ruined their brains, so anything referential is treated with contempt. Whether that's okay or not is one thing but watching a Khara show, a gundam one on top of that, with that mindset is just a recipe for dissatisfaction.The show was a tribute to early UC, which isn't as popular in the west. Maybe they wanted an easily accessible AU show like IBO, 00, WFM, Wing etc. Anybody who watched GQX Beginning should have known it was not going to be that.Is the show flawless? Obviously not, I have problems with the final episode, rushed Gihren vs Kycilia plotline, portrayal of Lalah etc, but it doesn't deserve the amount of disdain it gets from burgers.
>>23796102>Anybody who watched GQX Beginning should have known it was not going to be that.I already knew the show wouldn't be good just from that, they spent too much time on Char and barely any time on the actual MC.You can do a tribute show but lets be honest anyone with a brain can tell the new cast(which is what I was interested in seeing) are nothing but window dressing to Challia Bull, Char and Lalah's story, my problem isn't even the references my issue is the fact that they spread themselves thin and as a result anything not regarding legacy cast is weak.
>>23796192Retard.
>>23796192>I already knew the show wouldn't be good just from that, they spent too much time on Char and barely any time on the actual MC.They really don't though. You had the flashback episode, but otherwise Char just had small teases until it was near the end. The actual problem is that the relationship of the main trio develops quite slowly in the first half of the show, and it doesn't even feel like they're really that close before they're split apart. You also have Shuji who seems like a completely different character in the first half and finale (+ backstory revelations), which undermines those early interactions too.I think 5 episodes for character building + rest for plot could have been enough if they had pushed a stronger bond for the cast.
>>23796215Fuck off ape, humans are talking here.>>23796219I'm talking about the GQX Beginning with that part, it is absolutely true because you only see Machu at the back half of the movie when THEN it goes into the first episode.As for the actual show itself, that's where I'm talking about>my problem isn't even the references my issue is the fact that they spread themselves thinWhich you yourself admit they didn't spendn enough time on the cast before the main plot happens, honestly its impressive people seemingly still struggle to understand who, exactly Shuji is supposed to be.
>>23795551Do we have scans that prove any of this or is this just someone making stuff up
>>23790960you do you fucks call it siegaxe when in the show everyone goes "JEE QWUCKS"
>>23796287The Bluray just came out so the source is a Japanese owner's commentary on the storyboard booklet.>>23796294It is just a funny way of how we could interpret the Japanese pun even though it is unintended and the heat hawk was the primary weapon of the GQX. ジーク アクス Sieg Axe. The creators wanted to have a katakana name that is easy to pronounce and memorise for Japanese audience.
>>23796365I tend to read Japanese sources a lot so have been accustomed to read it the way it is pronounced in Katakana. Always adopt Japanese language mode when reading Japanese.
>>23796294Jee Quacks is mainly for people who interpret the title in English. Sieg Axe is for people who interpret the title in Japanese.
>>23796294Much like how Light Type Guncannon is written as 軽キャノン in Japanese. So people could call it Light Cannon or Kei Cannon. Anno has a tendency to mix Japanese words in his naming conventions for the prologue segment. e.g. Shiroi Gundam, Zero Hito Gundam, Kei Cannon.
>>23796375In universe, Char and Gihren also refer to the Federation MS as Kei Cannon.
>>23795551It can't be 0079 episode 41 since Char doesn't die there. >but this could merely be the mirror the scenes and using the dialogue as markers.Yes >could it still be Shuji?>The writer said that Shuji was teleported from episode 7 to a summoned real RX-78 in episode 11/12. In the scene where Char asks if Shuji could pilot the Red Gundam, he replied of course, hunting at past experience of piloting an RX-78.>So Shuji could have been the original killer of Char or have been dimension hopping with the RX-78.I thought it was obvious from day 1 that it was Shuji. A confirmation is nice, nonetheless.
>>23796379So Char while at Solomon airspace witnessed the White Light Cannon destroy Dozle and declared the pilot as a newtype, that's why he asked Kycillia to hurry with the Psycommu upgrade on his Red Gundam. Most likely Char did not participate in the Battle of Solomon and was only there to retrieve survivors. Shiiko's MAV was killed by Char in one of the battles, most likely by the bits.
>>23796365Yeah and I’m asking do we have sources other Thant that one guy
>>23796381https://youtube.com/shorts/kAo5zt6srPs?si=HaBGpFQ5aYPG-y1MThe drama CD that came with the Bluray has revealed that at one point, Chalia and Xavier had intended to participate in the clan battles, with Comoli having secured entry method and arranged two secondhand Zakus. However, Chalia somehow met Shuji on the ?street and sensed that he is very similar to Char.Hence he withdrew his decision in joining the clan battles.
>>23796392Need to check some Japanese forums. I am only aware of one Japanese YouTuber that has been covering the Bluray Drama CDs and Storyboards.It is uncommon for people to scan storyboard mini booklets.
>>23796396I love this lanky nigga like you wouldn't believe
>>23796392According to Japanese comments, M Quave and Maharaja Karn were on the storyboard of the ep12 coronation scene.https://bbs.animanch.com/board/6517835/
>>23795523The Man in the High Castle and Gihren no Yabou parallels were the highlights for me.All the speculation surrounding the Federation coloured Zeon GM before episode 4 came out was the most memorable for me. They purposely did not include the Gelgoog and Rick Dom in the Beginning booklet as they background characters and didn't want to spoil these new mechs in episode 4 and 5.
Ages were included. Lalah is 24, Gihren 41, Cecilia 25.https://note.com/murasame201/n/nabfb345a4fea
Timeline wording has been elaborated compared to the Beginning booklet. States that the Gelgoog defeated the MS-14

>>23796102>anything referential is treated with contempt>The show was a tribute to early UCPointing at better shows isn't sufficient to make something a good fucking show anon. Tributes are nice and tributes could even be appreciated for what they are in full context, but presumably one of the main intents of a show is to make a good show. Evangelion tributes and makes references to a dozen other things but still stands on its own , whereas I really don't think people can say the same for Gqux.>>23796219>>23796226>they spend too much time on Char at the start>then shelve him and bring him back just as a largely-trusty and moral character (as long as you're not Kycilia)>not even sure whether you should treat him with the same level of caution or contempt as you should for regular Char, since we don't know what life experiences he's had>after Challia chasing him for so long, we're suddenly told that he actually wants to kill him, because he's essentially anticipating that this empty loser is capable of doing something like an Axis drop>Char himself has no fucking idea what Challia's issue is and he goes on to do humanitarian work
>>23796437Correction:Zeonic's MS-14 was defeated in the MS development competition, the Gelgoog is formally adopted.
>>23796451I'll even add that the references and UC parallels were one of the few highlights of the show. I did enjoy them, it was neat to see alt versions of things with their unique twist and innovations
>>23796379>>23796437The Beginning booklet did hint at the Ogt Cannon being mass produced after the Battle of Jaburo.The timeline does state that the Light Cannon began mass production at the beginning of December, right after the Battle of Jaburo(November).Probably sometime in November, Gihren did say he has read the Adzam report, which was deployed at Odessa and kamikaze at Revil's Bigtray, agrees on Mass Producing Bigzam and hears about the Light Cannon having completed development to be the Federation's next main mobile suit.So the Light Cannon was definitely introduced later than the GM in the regular 0079 timeline.

In the final moments of the war, it was destroyed in the Ribo Colony Incident when it was equipped with the Solomon Express and misfired a nuke. The machine has been presently rebuilt.
Sleggar was already using this Light Cannon Sniper Custom during One Year War. When he joined the special forces in 0083, his machine was added with shields. When it crouches in sniping position, the armour plates form a large shield.
>>23796437>>23796440The Bluray booklet timeline is more up to date, especially with the Light Cannon being mass produced after Jaburo. The Mass Production of the gMS-01 Gelgoog and Bigzam were emphasised to have happened simultaneously. (According to the Bigzam profile page) They stated that they reverse engineered from the White Gundam.

Tsurumaki was credited in the storyboards of episode 8 Part A and B.Anno only storyboarded episode 2 along with Tsurumaki and Maeda.Credits of the broadcast episode had Anno credited for the script of Episode 8 Part A.

>>23796437>>23796453So the MS-14 does exist in GQ's timeline, even if it wasn't mass produced? I could live with that, but I still hate the GMgoog took its name.
>>23796425Oddly enough, this Lalah is aged 24 in 0085. Original UC Lalah was 17 in UC 0079, but still works kind of works.They only added 6 to the 0079 ages for the other characters like Chalia, Gihren and Kycillia and Char.
>>23796682Leo Lionni is Gihren faction.There is some exposition with the epilogue, but nothing new.
There seems to be something written for the Mad Anglar and Gogg.
Kirakira is a hallucination.
>>23796850Kirakira is marxism
>>23796440Okay, they mentioned the 17 Banchi incident that was caused by a person who named himself as Char and piloted a red mobile suit. This soured the relationship between Side 6 and Zeon.
>>23796966A terrorist attack. Apparently, the Beginning Bluray(27/05/2026) will include a novel on the 17 Banchi Incident
>>23796900True kirakira has never been tried
>>23796900anon this is your parents, we are begging you. you have to detransition.
>>23796580>Solomon Express and misfired a nukenow that's a deep cut
>>23796637>Comoli and Xavier were actually 23Huh. I'm so conditioned by anime age stuff that I guess I just assumed they were teens since they weren't Old Person coded.
>>23797083Retard.
>>23797197You say it like there weren't people commenting in threads on how implausibly young the bridge crew were assumed to be based on their designs.
>>2379720035 year old captain Rajett has experience in One Year War and also has a young civilian husband. That's what the booklet says.
>>23797232Yes, and I am acknowledging what the booklet is saying.I'm not sure where the confusion is coming from.
>>23797234Not sure why people are so worked up about it. I didn't intend to cause arguments when posting snippets of the booklet that I found.I only decided to look for Japanese reviews of the booklet today and these revelation of the ages are quite nice. Funny how Kycillia looks older than everyone and is still sticking with the Tomino age and Yasuhiko facial style.Take's Pokemon designs made everyone look young. The ages set by Tsurumaki are certainly more plausible in a military setting.The junk dealer crew are apparently way younger than the Sodon crew.
>>23796637It confirms that Kowal worked with Simus in One Year War just as he did in the 1979 anime. Basically Chalia's crew comes to life. The novel and 51 episode plan had a lot of disposable Newtypes in his crew.
>>23794773https://youtu.be/P8AQnFY5mxI?si=_S9T4cfpDc8b0fUjAfter acknowledging that the 1979 Guncannon being inpired by 1977 Miyatake's Starship Troopers Power Suit design and was intended to be the Gundam's protagonist before being rejected by sponsors and opting for the samurai head Gundam, GQX verse has certainly made the Guncannon the Federation's protagonist machine and the single cannon resembles the Power Suit.Despite being a hybrid machine put together due to tight scheduling, it does harken back to its unexplored roots.
If Federation never adopts the Gundam face and Zeon adopts it after stealing the Gundam.Ironically, even though the Powersuit was made to kill swarms of space bugs, the Kikeroga and Red Gundam charge scene which mirrored Gunbuster's initial charge had the Light Cannons play the role of the space bugs.
>>23797524Those Gunbuster style Anno background explosions never made sense to me in the context of Gundam. There aren't enough background targets to warrant that many explosions. I just interpret them as visual flair.The in universe Foolypedia did estimate Char having destroyed 60 mobile suits. No idea about Chalia's kill score that earned him the Grey Phantom nickname.Gates Kapa being 28 years old might or might not have been a frontline pilot in One Year War. The original 1985 UC 0087 Gates Kapa certainly looked younger than 30 compared to other characters like Wong Lee who was 25.
https://av.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/2082325.htmlTsurumaki mentioned that Shiiko takes up a bit from Lila Mira Rira.After reading Lila's profile, I just realised that both OYW veteran characters beared prejudice against Newtypes. She is also a tragic character as Gen Urobuchi got his nilhilism from the fact that she got killed off after her shower scene.
>>23790982don't they destroy more gyans on screen in gq than any other ms?
>>23797250Who even was the second guy again, the guy who made the magnetized adaptive joints or other?
>>23797758Those 9 Gyans were Kycillia's newtype corp. They had Xavier to glorify the Gyan.One named character is enough to glorify an MS.Unlike 1979 Rick Dom, Barzam, Dagger L which had no named pilots in the anime.
>>23791011>LycoReco and 0083 stuffHow have I not heard about this person before? This is amazing
>>23796487we reached out to Mash's office but received no comment
This book doesn't have much new info, mainly paraphrasing but a few new details:Operation V machines have learning computer in their core fighter.Salamis and Magellan have been refitted with a simple MS carrying capacity via the Vinson plan. Most likely referring to the MS towing scene at the 2nd Battle of Solomon.gMS-01 Gelgoog emphasised to be a new entity birthed from reverse engineering, so it is separate from the MS-14, so probably no shared elements. Designer interview reveals that the ports on its head are sensors, not vulcans.Gyan's Hakuji lance provides it with firepower and mobility, expanding its operational role. This parallels how Striker packs grants the Strike Gundam roles.Light Cannon chose Luna Titanium for productibility and durability(anti ballistic?).Guncannon has more armour than Gundam. There is feedback data between the Guncannon and Gundam.
>>23797532>Gen Urobuchi got his nilhilism from the fact that she got killed off after her shower scene.I don't blame him.
Note that Luna Titanium has not been mentioned in any MS profiles aside from the Light Cannon.On the Light Cannon, it was worded as "Luna Titanium Alloy".However Luna Titanium was mentioned twice in the Anno scenario book.Guncannon is made from Luna Titanium(no mention of alloy) and is heavily armoured so it is would cost more than the Gundam.
>>23798314This early draft had Guntank deployed and destroyed by Char's 02 Gundam. Char then faces the 01 Gundam. The 01 Gundam is in rollout colours with a different head design. It fires the head vulcans at the 02 Gundam and it bounces off the armour. Char comments that this must be the rumoured "Super Hard Luna Titanium Armor", it would be able to withstand Zaku machine gun rounds.Maybe there is a distinction between Luna Titanium(Gundam, Guncannon) and Luna Titanium alloy(Light Cannon)? Either way, there must be an offshoot of Luna Titanium used on the Light Cannon that reduces cost.
Zeon is very impressed with the Gundam.No wonder the gMS-01 Gelgoog is also a big deal.
If 1979 Zeon had this, they would be a laughing stock as a villain.GQX mostly removed the innocent look from OYW designs. They all appeared more aggressive with their sharp jaws.
>The Earth Federation Forces' main mobile suit. After Char seized the Gundam and Pegasus, the Earth Federation Forces' mobile suit development plan was forced to undergo a major change, shifting to the development of a new main unit based on the Guncannon. Conceptually, it combines the close-quarters combat capabilities of the Gundam with the artillery combat capabilities of the Guncannon, achieving versatility to respond to any battle situation. The beam cannon on the back is now a single beam cannon on the right side, with a beam saber equipped on the left. Furthermore, consideration was given to improving the productivity of the main unit. A notable feature is the use of Luna Titanium alloy as the armor material, aiming to improve productivity and ballistic resistance.Seems to imply that it is the only MS that uses cost effective Luna Titanium Alloy, while previous ones used pure Luna Titanium.
>>23799704White Gundam's parade colours are considered as Demonstrator Colours as a contrasted to the muted colours of the 01 Gundam.It is tradition for two prototypes to be in contrasting colours. Perhaps the White Gundam is meant to be the final colour aimed to be shown to the public.I would laugh if Sayla's Light Cannon was also a demonstration colour..
Guncannon has a gatling arm in this deleted scene.
>>23790982Amuro would have killed Xaiver and Challia Bull even faster than he did in the OG. He was out for blood in the original show.
Ceremonial Gyan.
>>23802484 isn't the gyan ceremonial by default
>>23802484cool as fuck
>>23802484fancy
>>23802484I'm really curious what other equipment the Gyan has besides the Hakuji pack
>>23808687At this rate we'll never get MSV and lore :_:
Fan art. Lacks a handheld shield as it doesn't know the strength of the Gundam's beam rifle.
>>23808687>>23808694Really, the complete lack of any extra material for GQX is why I think there's a chance they're still working on something else. It makes sense Bandai wouldn't push a bunch of extra-show story with the show being made by an external company, if they're still planning to work on the setting. But, if it's a one-off and there was no expectation of Khara touching on the setting again, there's be no reason to hold back.
>>23809017Sadly, we only have the Banchi 13 incident novel from the Beginning Bluray and Hambrabi instructions to anticipate at the moment.Still have pbandai recolours Tokuwan Dom, purple Gyan, Special Forces Police Zaku or Clan Battle Zaku.Guncannon with new tooling for limbs. Guntank a final maybe as G-Witch got Gunnode and Desultor last, but that was a machine that got substantial screentime.A side story manga from the Federation side would definitely help.
>>23808992This fanmade Gelgoog has a lot of practical considerations such as thicker arms for beam energy condensors, Shoulders freed up for MS melee combat. Definitely more geared towards MS combat than the Rick Dom.Tsuda also cancelled.The best thing about the GQ designs is that they gave OYW MS a more aggressive look and different anatomy than the Okawara version after 45 years. All the Katoki and Tatsugawa renditions did offer anything new compared to the late 80/90s renditions.Yamashita style with the sharp jaws and slim waist gave the MS a different vibe while retaining the sense of OYW character. It is like the transition of 1984 Optimus Prime to the 2018 Bumblebee Movie Optimus. What Strike Gundam or Gundam AGE is to RX-78 is like what Animated Optimus or Transformers Prime Optimus is to 1984. They are an adaptation of the RX-78 character.
>>23808992>>23796667These make me sad that we'll probably never know what the real GQ MS-14 looked like
>>23809373>All the Katoki and Tatsugawa renditions did offer anything new compared to the late 80/90s renditions.I'm pretty sure that was intentional, Katoki already IS the source of the late 80s/90s stuff, he originally did minor redesigns of the old OYW models with modern tweaks like giving them weapons based on real life guns and extra panel lines and decals because "realism". I think you meant Takigawa instead of Tatsugawa, he primarily did a lot of art for lorebooks and that meant homogenizing a bunch of disparate Gundam designs that were originally created by a variety of people with differing styles so the lorebooks can pretend that some mobile suits are actually iterative works of engineering with a shared design base instead of being wildly inconsistent as fuck.>>23809495If it's anything like the prime UC counterpart, think of a high mobility version of the GQuuuuuuX Zaku since the Gelgoog was derived from that development. Since the Yamashita redesign moves the Zaku's thrusters from the backpack to the ass, maybe their version of the R-3 type would add backpack thrusters on struts or movable thrusters on the shoulders.
>>23809517Yes, mainly to harmonise all the 80s designs so that they all look consistent in a given context, in particularly video games, so GM and GM Command belong to the same universe. I like GQX because it offered a UC reset, that harkens back to the early days of the franchise in 1979 where things were simple and MS didn't have a billion variants.Outside of SD verse, Gundam Tactics Mobility Fleet 0079 from 1996 was one of the first games that had Izubuchi and Okawara designs coexisting together.
>>23809608How do you feel about other works like Moon Gundam where Gyoubu is putting his spin on UC-derived designs, even if they are variants?>Outside of SD verse, Gundam Tactics Mobility Fleet 0079 from 1996 was one of the first games that had Izubuchi and Okawara designs coexisting together.Neat book, is that in your possession or is it a picture you found somewhere? If it's yours, I'd ask for more pictures if you don't mind.
>>23809646I used to play that video game, I don't own the manual. It is also one of the few "real time strategy games" for Gundam.That game has 6 MS types per faction. Ball-Zanny-Guncannon-Core Booster-GM-GM Command.Zaku II-High Mobility Zaku-Rick Dom-Rick Dom II-Gelgoog-Gelgoog Jager.https://youtu.be/Rhpd3MGk9x8?si=VoQlt_5pGP23EsDuhttps://youtu.be/3zZ-m5zDPwQ?si=sPtyQQz271pfzLHthttps://youtu.be/lelDzJ0OFBw?si=_pV-WneiO6IK4mhJThis Japanese YouTuber has gameplay videos. The game is similar to Fire Emblem but is real time and units have a melee and ranged attack. Units have to return to the ship to refuel or to replace fatigued pilots. The player controls one ship and it's MS complements. As the stages, the player is assigned more advanced warships and MS(MS depends on the score from the previous stage based on kills and NPC casualties).
Is there any blurb on development of the gMS-v Black Gundam?
I am quite impressed with the consistency of the number of ships and the ship types between these two shots.
>>23812968
>>23812973
>>23812977One of these things that's probably much easier to do when it's all 3d models, same as consistent proportions.Still very cool though.
A Salamis shown to be towing 8 Light Cannons.
>>23809017On one hand this makes a lot of sense, on the other Tsurumaki is going to be busy with the new Eva thing. So will a lot of Khara staff, I imagine.It's not impossible, I'm just unsure how it can all work out with the timing.
>>2381296814 ships isn't a lot, not sure how many were shot down by Char when he harassed the Solomon dock. The Foolypedia said his kill score in the Red Gundam was 60 MS and at least 10 ships.Luna II has about 32 Zeon ships copy and pasted in the panning shot of episode 2, but 27 ships on the limited panning shot of episode 8. a mix of Musai and Chivvay classes.Can't take some of these visuals seriously, same with the number of Doms and Gelgoogs.
>>23813009Why?
>>23813009Rick Doms are prioritised for aces, hence there are personal colours. These are standard Rick Doms, with comparable numbers to the Gelgoog.
>>23813018Probably need to compare with the size of the Granada fleet from other sources.
>>23812968Heavily implies that Federation lacked fleet strength at Solomon to attack Abao aqu, can't remember if prime UC verse had more ships joining up from Luna II and Jaburo.
>>2381302614 ships isn't an absolute number, merely a visualisation. But Char's fleet of 4 is definitely able to handle 14 ships. there were about 36 Light Cannons shown at the Gunbuster homage scene.
>>23813033Light Cannon, the greatest underdog grunt in the Gundam franchise.Small screentime, good looking design, zero kills, no named pilot(except Shiiko and Sayla). Title formerly held by Windam and Barzam.The HG kit is popular though and was merchandised immediately, did not require 10-20 year wait. Windam did have the MS in Action figure early on.
>>23813041Anon we know for a fact multiple people each got over a hundred kill in it, nevermind the grunts.
>>23791003>>23813048Certainly reminds me of the Doll/Road Dealer from SPT Layzner. The Earth Resistance only SPT model and inferior to all Kratos models, takes ques from 3 captured SPTs. Deployment was delayed as it's initial factory was destroyed. Only shows up in the final episode and the conclusion chapter of the OVA.The desperate mass production mecha to attempt to turn the tide of war is always a wonderful mecha trope.
