English Construction Manual for the recently released Master Grade Gundam Astray Red Frame Kai from Gundam SEED vs Astray series. Truly a beautiful kit in my eyes. I find it sad though that this version has the tactical arms but no beam rifle like what the non-grade 1/100 Gundam Astray Red Frame has. Then again, I guess it is much better to not have that because you could always just get the beam rifle and shield from the non-grade 1/100 Gundam Astray Red Frame.
I find myself still in the “Gundam UC zone” as I feel compelled to read the manual of the Gundam Unicorn. And of course I couldn’t resist not translating it to English *snicker* I mentioned before that I’m not really fond of the design of the Gundam Unicorn and find myself more impressed with the design of the antagonists mobile suits (Kshatriya, Sinanju etc)
Yep, still in the Gundam UC episode 1 high that left me with enough energy to translate the MSN-06S Sinanju Ver Ka Titanium Finish’s manual to English… hehehe. The Sinanju was the main ride of the antagonist at Gundam Unicorn. Flown by Full Frontal, who heads the Neo Zeon organization known as the Sleeves. The Sinanju hasn’t made its appearance yet in episode 1 of Gundam Unicorn, but boy am I looking forward to finally seeing it in action
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.
I just finished watching again episode 49 and 50 of Gundam Seed Destiny, hence I’m officially in the Gundam Seed Destiny “high” zone *snicker*. So I decided to look up Athrun Zala’s Infinite Justice Gundam and translate its color guide to English. I’m currently finishing up also watching Gundam Seed, its only now I understood why the Freedom and Justice Gundam were that special. Its because they have neutron jammer cancellers on board them that negate the effect of neutron jammers allowing them to be powered by nuclear reactors. This in turn gives them unlimited operating time.
