All and everything of Late universal centuryPrevious thread >>23801000
>>23878969I've never seen a greebled up mech face before
>>23878972I guess you haven't seen the last gundam anime.
>>23878969Was there really a need for this thread? I don't mind it but the last one pretty much ran out of steam halfway through, and it's not like we have much discussions here anyway. We'll see how this one goes, just don't be surprised if it ends up kinda boring.
>>23878987Not OP, but I want a thread to look up new Monthly Mobile stuff.It's not needed for me per se, but it is useful.
>>23878987I figured at least ONE MORE would be fine, also >>23879004 might have nailed it cause a new one might’ve come out already
>>23879013There's also an aspect that this board is slow enough to host slow threads like that anyway, so why not have this thread? It's not like it took place of an important discussion thread or something.
>>23879065That’s also true
>>23878972cluster**{fuck}**
>>23879004>>23879013guess I'll prove you right after all, meet ya boi Den'an DeiProbably gonna find the full thing later tonight idk
>>23879932WOO-HOO it really is a new Vanguard variant
lmao omg
some kinda fuckass modified GaplantGaplant Kai with a visor maybe??
Unsurprisingly the first proposed Jamesgun design is close to the early production type we knowAnd apparently there's some reference to Gigantis Counterattack omegalul
>>23879934Also if I’m now mistaken was buch actually offering the RBX-01 as ANOTHER COMPETITOR to the F80 and hardygun? That would be legitimately insane history development>>23879939lol SD Gundam but what’s funky zeta plus variant, could that be what the EFF was wanting for a miniature REZEL a proof of concept machine?
>>23879949Also>>23879946 I must’ve been correct then, there’s the fabled jamesgun prototype
>>23879949>was buch actually offering the RBX-01 as ANOTHER COMPETITOR to the F80 and hardygun?I understand that was the "official" reasoning, in practice they wanted to use that as an excuse to have it tested in combat and never intended to extend the contract with EFF for mass production.>could that be what the EFF was wanting for a miniature REZELIt's the Type 99 from Engage, basically Anaheim tried to make a Hyaku Shiki on steroids in UC 0120s. Visually it's a reference to Nagano's mecha and to the Zeta draft from the first opening.
>>23879939>>23879946i double checked, these lil guys ARE the Gigantis reference. Cute!
>>23879956Oooh sneaky on buch’s counterpart. Also wow UC engage acknowledged outside of games for the first time here, yes I do know about the type 99
>>23879065Honestly besides GBO, these threads and the AoZ threads are the only things I come here for any more. I like the laid back nature of them
ere we go
>>23880131>collecting data is indispensable in MS development>it goes without saying SNRI's cooperation with the Fastest Formula unit was mainly to gather data from the F90>even without getting into the Gundam and White Base, combat data with all its variables and unpredictabilities has value that cannot be measured in money>RBX-1 [Den'an Dei] was developed for exactly this purpose>the recent disclosure of information about the 2nd Olsmobile War finally shed more light on this model>in late autumn of UC 0120, when the General Staff HQ was still reeling from the theft of F90 unit 2 Buch Concern proposed they would supply them with the Den'an Dei. Free of charge.>officials were lukewarm, the RGM-X project was already provisionally decided with the RGM-118X (later Jamesgun) and the Hardygun and Gunraid given their own roles>but Buch's proposal was unprecented>Free of charge, spare parts supplied at no extra cost. Maintenance staff at Buch's expense. Buch provides their own test pilots.>at the time the military was pressured to cut back spending>ever since Char's Rebellion despite small scale conflicts like the Laplace Incident and Mafty Rebellion there have no true wars between nations>as such, it was seen as unacceptable to spend so much taxpayer money on an army seen at best as an astronaut training organization and an unemployment welfare system at worst>even RGM-X was part of this trend>driven by the Assembly's "TT Concept" (Thousand and Three hundred) proposal to limit Earth Sphere mobile suits to 1000 units and 300 battleships the focus was on improving individual cost-performance ratio>for the EFF that struggled to keep the Jegan up to date (partly due to the delays with the next gen model after Heavygun) and the accountants handling the budgets Buch Concern's proposal was too good to ignore>even ignoring that they were later welcomed in Buch as consultants after retirement or provided with unlisted shares and property[1]
>>23880013Almost the same for me, when it comes to Gundam threads specifically.>AoZ threadsRIP.
>>23880131>on the other hand the military leadership welcomed it>ever since the end of Haman's war EFF struggled with preventing its soldiers in active service from refusing to right>this is one of the causes behind their slow response to the Cosmo Babylonia Founding War and their reliance on local resistance groups>court martials existed, but the inherent peaceful nature of an absolute democracy and its citizens hindered any war effort>likewise, the absence of exemplary punishments - like the guillotine - only encourages cowardice>as such, Buch's elite, motivated volunteer soldiers were welcomed with open arms in the war against Oldsmobile>Naturally, this entire plan was brimming with Carazzo Ronah's typical humor>To use the EFF - the very organization he meant to overthrow - to conduct trials of their new mobile suits and train his troops? The costs were like a drop in the bucket in comparison.Den'an Dei>About 60% of the frame and armor is derived from Den'an Zon and Den'an series workers>shoulder and leg sections are equipped with amplifier aids* and cooling systems adopted in the Berga series and featured F-series standard hardpoints>the rear skirt is compatible with F80 hardpoints>Buch had obtained F series data through SNRI and was eager to incorporate its advantages>given they intended to absorb the EFF, this was only natural>The backpack utilizes Buch's newly developed shelf nozzles, though original technology dates back to Gryps Conflict>though still a "shelf" thruster it doesn't use plasma thrusters or chemical rockets and instead consists of six nozzles directly connected to the thermonuclear reactor in the backpack>these thermonuclear rocket engines also function as AMBAC limbs and can be detached to serve as mass projectiles in combat>the main reactor was an in-house Buch product>though they initially purchased Anaheim reactors they switched to in-house production in UC 0115 when their plans started to ramp up[2]
>>23880131>Den'an Dei's reactor output was recorded at 3880kw, slightly surpassing Jamesgun's 3850kw>however the early units delivered to EFF struggled to maintain consistent output and needed on-site tuneups>thanks to this they saw a dramatic improvement to overall power stability which significantly contributed to unit performance during the Cosmo Babylonia War>Although primarily equipped with the Heavygun beam rifle, it was capable of mounting F80 equipment>It also carried a Giant Halberd combining the functions of a large heat axe and a pile bunker which proved effective in close combat within colonies and urban areas>left arm had a beam shield and beam gun>Since the Jamesgun of that era had the beam shield only as an optional extra gear, some consider Den'an Dei to be the first mass produced Federation unit equipped with a beam shield>Den'an Dei deployed during the 2nd Oldsmobile War performed well, ensuring Federation's victory and providing Buch with priceless combat data>Stein Bunyil emerged as an ace pilot with 32 kills>military commanders had a high opinion of the machine and even requested its official adoption as a replacement for the cancelled F6 series>A small number of units participated in the Cosmo Babylonia War (with the Federation code for them as XM-01C, CV code unknown) >there were few however, with no major achievements as the Den'an Zon and Berga Giros mass production was in full effect at that point>Nonetheless, the results achieved during the 2nd Oldsmobile War certainly had a significant influence on Crossbone Vanguard's subsequent MS development
>>23880162So more than one existed, and even some slightly new info on their participation in the Cosmos Babylonian foundation wars, very interesting and even had some compatibility with the F80.>>23880150>No capital punishment like the guillotineZanscare trying to flex itself again
>>23880162alrighty, that's that. Reckon Zeonic will drop a more accurate and just plain better translation sooner rather than later, though at this point I've no idea where exactlyA few notes:>>23880150*amplifier aids - not 100% sure on the terminology here honestly, but it's basically just upgrades to the joint drive system. Same terminology is used on GM III's knee units which serve that role.>shelf nozzle stuffThis is clearly referencing the recent Alyzeus and further clarifying some details on the tech. Like Nobuhiko Genma said in a recent interview, they envisioned the concept as existing since UC 0087/88 and could have been tested on GM III or Jegan. Fundamentally no different from shield boosters and Hazel and Gaplant are given as direct examples. I guess that's an indirect AoZ reference then?Buch's take uses the same fundamental concept, but is still a new iteration of it with modern technology.>>23880147>AoZ threads>RIP.no need to be so dramatic, /aoz/ will return in due time, probably whenever Reboot finally updates again. Sometimes it's good to let these things rest and hibernate for a while, especially since the last two threads were anything but laid back.>>23880171>had some compatibility with the F80.yeah they seem to be already hinting at model kit gimmicks, wonder if it will be RE/100 like the other CV suits or how will this work with the F90 hardpoints>Zanscare trying to flex itself againnot very subtle lmao, we gotta remember there's always a degree of anti-EFF and anti-Moon bias in Mobile Machine, it's just become a lot more explicit now that Zanscare officially took over
Strangest thing is that they did not give us a proper lineart of it. If it was a 3d model like F80 we'd already know they're working on a kit. It will be funny when it's announced and 99% of english fans (and like 90% of japanese fans tbf) are gonna wonder wtf is this
>>23880176>anti-Moon biasAre we talking Moon the celestial body or Moon Moon the colony of brain damaged hippies?
>>23879956This is just the Epsy without the chin
>>23880965From Double Fake. Guza based on Scirocco's Morinokumasan
>>23880987>From Double Fake. Guzayes, and there's nothing really Late UC about it>based on Scirocco's Morinokumasanno such thing. It's Bolinoak Samahn, talk like a normal person ffsand saying they're related is pure conjecture anyway
>>23878969What's the Gundam in the OP?
>>23881002OMS-90R2N (F90VN) Mars Gundam Type-N Verethragna
>>23881003Thanks, Anon.
>>23881003Zabine looking XTREME
>>23881003>>23881011Who pilots that monster?
At what point in Late U.C do you think they can cram UC2 in?
>>23881028gremlin
>>23881033Cute.
>>23881032Likely UC 107-110 would be my bet. One last project for full size MS before miniaturization becomes the norm.On another note, does anyone have raw scans for Monthly Mobile 37-43? I think we had 40 put up here, but they've mostly stopped going up online lately.
>>23881032being set in UC 100 is literally the only thing we know about it anon
>>23881045>>23881046Ah, I see. Thanks.
>>23880965Nice an appearance from the actual direct predecessor to the Geara Doga
>>23881064According to one blurb in a video game, sure. And even if they do go with this background it's still one of like 3 "actual direct predecessors" anyway.
>>23881066True
My ideal Late U.C anime would be something set in the 0250's so that we can finally get something animated in the canon after Victory and G-Saviour. That or Gaia Gear.
>>23881088I want 0279.
>>23881046when did they say that?
>>23881099It should be basically a OYW scenario again, showing that the people of the UC have learned nothing so the cycle repeats. Maybe flip it so the Earth is fighting a war of independence and like misuses a big mass driver to shoot some colonies to flip the colony drop scenario.
>>23881113That would be great.
>>23881046Seeing it takes place the year Zeon was reabsorbed into the Federation I’m guessing it deals with some underground plot, probably by the RoZ PM, to thwart it and will end with the Unicorn being destroyed and Banana and Mineva leaving the spotlight and frolicking on some beach under new identities. Maybe they’ll have some cameos of the Xi and Penelope entering design phases at the end and Sayla, Hathaway, and some zeeks on Mars looking up at the sky like they usually do in these shows.
