need a big titty jewish radfem penpal.
pasting the latest bonthly bobile bachine from last thread>Rochester's Gelgoog>S-Type RF Gelgoog custom-made for Charles Rochester. It features equipment similar to Crossbone Vangaurd machines like beam shield and beam flag, specced for high mobility and command functions. Control system incorporates Psychoframe.>RF High Speed Mobility Zaku>Newtype space-use MS independently developed by Mars Zeon. While modeled after MSN-01 it's a high-spec 4th generation suit with the most advanced technology of the era.>History of Bit weapons>Originally developed by Flanagan Institute, Bit weapons are a system of drones and missiles remotely controlled even under Minovsky particle interference>While nowadays they're firmly established as a weapon to reliably confirm kills by its mothership - the Newtype-use mobile weapon - and launching delayed attacks from blind spots their development involved much trial and error>Braw-Bro's and Zeong's were merely wire-controlled mega particle cannons for all-range attacks>Elmeth's Bits were intended for extreme long-range attacks via Minovsky Communication through the Psycommu system. In other words, a similar doctrine as Old Century's ICBM weapons.>They were to be equipped with nuclear warheads and beam cannons capable of destroying enemy fleets and fortresses even under Minovsky dispersion>However even an exceptional Newtype like Lalah struggled with executing long-range attacks and before long Bits were restricted to line of sight combat>Although Bits saw little use during the OYW they achieved significant results and came to be recognized as Zeon's most powerful weapons similar to Big Zam>As such, they spawned many derivatives such as:>Qubeley specialized in all-range attacks with miniaturized bits>Doven Wolf with two-dimensional pseudo all-range attack terminals using psycommu compatible with Oldtypes>Alpha Azieru with high firepower using large scale bits
>>23955717>Furthermore, research into different Psycommu-guided weapons continued after the Elmeth such as the MAN-06 Freischütz developed at A Baoa Qu and equipped with Psycommu missiles or the Kshatriya Repaired which are examples of solid munition-type funnels.>This process culminated in the Funnel Missiles of Xi Gundam and Draig>Bit weapons were also used in second phase suits such as F90 N-Type and Berga Dalus Type B>Jupiter Empire also developed NT-use Mobile Armors like the Elefante>Although all-range attacks are not the be-all-end-all weapons as originally envisioned they are still considered useful to this day as evidenced by BESPA researching them>Leon's RF Gelgoog>Among the Oldsmobile "Newtype Champions" Leon Patel is second only to Charles Rochester>His RF Gelgoog utilized the same basis as Rochester's custom machine which differed from the basic RF Gelgoog spec and was referred to as "Neue Gelgoog" or RF Gelgoog S-Type>S-type features a generator with output ranging from 3230kW to 3870kW>Although classified as a 2nd generation suit it's an ultra high performance machine capable of deploying a beam shield>Its maneuverability is somewhat lacking compared to second phase machines, but the high output thrusters and large fuel capacity enable hit and run tactics that let it hold its own against not only F80 series but even the F90>Furthermore, a micro-honeycomb structure is used in parts of its armor and the thruster and electronic components have been miniaturized, enabling reaction speed on a completely different level from conventional 2nd generation machines.>It's believed this is the result of combining Oldsmobile's existing technology with that seized from F90 and provided by Buch
>>23955717>>23955720>It appears that the S-Types shared the same frame and outer armor while being customized for their assigned pilots>This is a combination of F90's mission pack concept and Zeon's custom MS doctrine>Developed with absolute focus on high combat performance, the arms have been replaced with remotely guided Arm Bits similar to those of Verethragna>These could take advantage of Leon Patel's Newtype abilities as regular bits but also deploy beam sabers and an I-Field barrier akin to Nu Gundam's>This makes them a composite weapon with offensive and defensive capabilities>The backpack option rack is equipped with a pair of funnels, though it can be switched for grenades or micro missiles depending on mission requirements>Furthermore, these funnels function as simplified VSBRs>Unlike those on F91 these are imperfect models that require manual speed control, more similar to Hardygun's beam cannon>But they still provide 4th generation-level firepower and just like the Arm Bits they can deploy a beam barrier, though both need to be deployed for that>Although these simple VSBRs can be used as Bits, SNRI's capacitor technology could not be fully analyzed and thus the Bits cannot maintain VSBR functions when detached and need to return for recharging after firing several shots>These are controlled by Psychoframe embedded in the torso>It's said there were plans for a mass produced model with civilian-grade Psycommu but it's unclear whether these were deployed during the 2nd Oldsmobile War>As secondary weapons it's equipped with beam vulcans in the head and mega machine cannons on the chest as standard S-Type equipment
>>23955717>>23955723>It is believed that the design of this unit draws heavily on data from the OMS-01RF (RF High-Mobility Type Zaku), developed by the Independent Zeon Forces on Mars. According to one theory, the frame layout incorporates one of the design proposals for the MSN-01 that was rejected during the Bishop Project; however, given that the true nature of the Bishop Project itself remains unclear, this can be regarded as nothing more than a rumour.>The unit first appears in Federation records during the Battle of Konpeito on May 18th>Engagement data related to this unit is also recorded in accounts of the Haoma Colony Incident on August 7th and the majority of Leon Patel's kills were achieved using this unit>However, it's also possible the unit was rolled out before May and there's still no consensus on the deployment date of the RF Gelgoog Type-S>In any case, it's indisputable Patel's blue Gelgoog achieved outstanding results during the 2nd Oldsmobile War.>Furthermore, it played a decisive role towards the end of the campaign
Good to see the Anchor is alive and well
>>23955795My autism is a little bit triggered with Phantom and Anchor families mixed up at the bottom.Also it misses Black Phantom from Love & Piece, even if that's mostly cosmetic.
>>23955795Isn't Baroque part of Phantom family?
>>23955819It's an antagonist MS, along with the Amakusa which was based off of the Crossbone X-2.
>>23955820I thought Amakusa mostly just did its own thing, while Baroque was based on Phantom closer.That said, Amakusa and Cornix should probably be put somewhere too.
>>23955820Also, here's the missing sixth X-13.
>>23955840There are no missing X-13 though.It's either a new one built from the spare parts or a rebuilt version of one of the three from Dust and Love & Piece.
Cypher was a great villain, I love unhinged mindbroken psychos
>>23955840There is a bit on the Hasegawa's blog about it.Apparently it's Seerauber Unit 4 Green Calmhttps://www.studio-himitsukichi.com/20260726/1983/
MAGNASUPERDESTROIDis there a more badass name out there?
>>23957935Magna is a part of G-Cannon MagnaDestroid just means the parts it got from D-typeThrowing in Super there is a great touch though.I think it's amazing how it combines long range capabilities of L-type, mid range capabilities of S-type and close range capabilities of D-type, alongside having extra rockets and improved mobility.
So what do we think the Z-Type will be? After X-Type completely subverted expectations while simultaneously fulfilling them I really don't know what to expect, especially since the info on Z-Type is even more vague.Some fanart that ironically wound up a bit like the N-Type Verethragna.
>>23958086The name Zero Type would indicate some form of NT-D evolution but I fail to see how they could integrate that into a new pack without designing a whole new body like was done with the F90IIIY
>>23958172>name Zero Type would indicate some form of NT-DIt would not? Like, at all.
>>23958086It being also the first unit of the new line implies that it would be a base version of the next generation mobile suit.In other words F90Z might be a TR-S/TR-6 to F90's TR-1.
>>23958172If it was NT-D evolution, wouldn't it be just a spin-off of the N-type pack rather than a part of another one?
>>23958221I think it would be an evolution in the sense that it would have a full Destroy Mode, and it also being the first of the next generation would also mean it could be used as a bridge to the Crossbone line
>>23958231Youngstar-type is already that bridge and we know that Crossbone frame suits like F97, F97-E and F99 are still a part of F9 series and not F0.If there's something that Z should tie-in to it is Victory and/or BESPA stuff.
>>23958221Don't you get it, Z is actually N sideways (sarcasm)
>>23958259Victory is already preceded by the Cluster Kai
>>23958463yeah and Cluster Kai has been completely untouched in modern F90 content so far, I wonder when that will change. We don't even know how the full design looks strictly speaking, only the core fighter.
>>23955674honestly Second Victory is so cool. I was very happy when I learned it was a thing, because I can't decide if I like V1 or V2 better. There is also the black V2 which never really gets mentioned anywhere
>>23958259Trust the plan.
>>23958487Black V2?
>>23958502from the Victory Side Storythey fight a Zeong remix or whatever
>>23958514Did we get any color pictures of it? Just wondering if the lighter areas are white or yellow. Might be fun to make to put next to my Second/Rear Shrike Team Victory I painted earlier this year.
>>23958516nta but yellowsuspiciously similar to Harrison's F91 honestly
>>23958516>>23958519huh, guess it's blue. i have only ever seen the b/w version on mahq
>>23958523Hasegawa's artstyle tends to embellish colors and boldly use outright pitch black for things like dark blue or even just for high contrast. I like it, it's very distinctive and you still have things like the cover art to know the "real" colors
>>23958514>>23958519>v2 but good
>>23958532foolV2 is always good
>>23958535
>>23958463Cluster Kai itself could be a prototype for F90Z
>>23958519>>23958523I *really* want to paint this now. Got to grab another MG V2 I guess.
>>23958564you can even make it pose like that with a V-Dash if you have one
>>23958529It's called laziness.
>>23958563When you think about it, it does make sense. Both SNRI and Anaheim thought about Core Block as the next step at the time. There's no way F90Z wouldn't feature it as well.There's also a precedent with X-type being designed to be fully used in conjunction with Y as well, so if Z is the next step, I'd imagine it would build on the two.And thinking about it: Z, Zero, 0, Rei, Ray - F90Z might really be the final phase of Job's project of creating an ultimate version of RX-78-2.
>>23958563Cluster Kai could BE F90Z, even. It's almost certainly related to Cluster either way, we know Y X Z packs are connected.
>>23959210Yeah, the reason why I called it a prototype is because the only picture of Cluster Kai we got is a prototype of it in the first place. I can the the final version being called Z and not Y anymore.
Quite a neat showcase of what can be done with mission packshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cXFB56mX5o
>>23959228mission packs are just so goddamn cool manI wish more had bootlegs, only like 2 do
