The Master Grade MSM-07S Z’Gok Char Aznable from Mobile Suit Gundam. Suddenly took an interest to the Z’gok after watching an episode in MS IGLOO which featured the said mobile suit. Of course this one belongs to the legendary Char Aznable. The Z’gok is an aquatic mobile suit which specializes in underwater operations. This thing lacks any rifle and bazooka like weapons but makes up for it by having missiles, beam weapons and melee weapons (the claws)
Didn’t really like the design of the RX-75 Gun Tank in the original Mobile Suit Gundam till I saw the MS08th Team and the MS IGLOO 2 The Gravity Front anime series. I guess its really right what they say that if you have no history with an item/person they don’t really mean anything to you. After watching both animes and seeing the significant and heroic parts they played in the Mobile Suit Gundam shows I understand now why it endeared itself to the fans and made itself worthy enough for Bandai to make it into a Master Grade kit. The kit was released last September 2009.
The AMX-004-3 Qubeley Mk II Ple Two is the last of the Qubeley Color guides to be translated in this site. The first being the Qubeley Mk II of Elpeo Puru, then just this day the original Qubeley of Haman Karn. This Qubeley Mk II made its appearance in ZZ Gundam being flown by Ple Two for the Neo Zeon movement being led by Haman Karn.
Haman Karn’s AMX-004 Qubeley made first famous in Zeta Gundam. This was the first mobile suit I saw that used a funnel system as its offensive armament. For the Qubeley it was a 10 funnel system that was stored at the tail of the mobile suit and could be controlled by the new type pilot. This mobile suit used a psycommu system to interact with the pilot and in combat was considered deadly because maximised the superior reflexes of a newtype.
The RGM-89S Stark Jegan from the Gundam Unicorn OVA that is all the rave right now. This design looks plain in my eyes but it looks really good being chopped up by Marida Cruz with her Kshatriya *snicker*. The Stark Jegan is one of the mobile suits of the Federation forces.
The 1/72 Buster Tortoise from Kotobukiya. Not really fond of this design because these types of zoids are not really frontline-edge-of-the-sword type of mechas. These are mostly back-end-in-the-rear-with-the-gear types. But they do pack a wallop with the weaponry they carry. More like mobile artillery pieces in the sphere of mech warfare which provide blanket support during an offensive maneuver.
Back to some more translations of Color Guides. This time for the 1/72 Iron Kong made by Kotobukiya into a model kit. The Iron King is one of the living mecha that can be found in the Zoids anime franchise.
Translated the color guide for the Master Grade Gundam Astray Red Frame Kai that was recently released this month. More photos of the Gundam Astray Red Frame Kai can be found here and here.
