Man, Gundam kits have come a long way in 20 years haven't they? :lol

It really shows its age, but I adore the Rising Gundam so I'm happy to have one in (close to) 1/144 scale. I'll keep hoping for a new HG kit one day, but I'm tempted to check out the 1/100 kit some time.

Next up, HGFC God Gundam!

So it's looking like Conquista is indeed set in the UC universe. All be it long after that calendar system. Looks like it's called the Reguild or Reguilded Century. However the question is does this still take into account Tomino's original end point for UC? Which was Turn A. That's roughly several thousand years past Victory and was seen as the distant future of that timeline. So if that's the case then I wonder if the Turn A events still took place within the confines of the timeline or if it's been adjusted at all. But if so, how far along is Conquista compared to that anyway?

I thought the exact same thing when I was building the Build Mk.2.

Being more use to the modern SEED and AGE high Grades, going back to something like the Mk.2 was quite the 180.

It would seem like it takes place between Victory and Turn A.. but Tomino strikes me as a man who does whatever he wants. I expect a lot of death in this new series after all. lol.

I wouldn't count on it.

This show looks like happy go lucky King Gainer Tomino, not Kill'em All Zeta Gundam Tomino. :lol

Gundam Reconguista in G is looking just fine to me right now. The promo was rather quick and the decision to take the UC timeline out even further is actually kind of welcomed. I'd rather not have to sit through yet another Neo-Zeon uprising, unless of course they won in the end (also, UC scratches that itch). The design for the Gundam(?) is interesting enough; I do enjoy alternate approaches to the V-fin, giving us ear or mustache antennae.


Yeah, the Mk II base kit is twelve years old and features some gnarly seam lines. It is in desperate need of a remaster like the Aile Strike received.

Interesting. Perhaps this series will finally show us the cataclysm of the Moonlight Butterfly. If Tomino wanted to go deep enough we could finally see the origins for the Turn A & X. But that's mostly me getting my hopes up :o
Yeah It's unfortunate he got over his bout of depression. I honestly like his shows better when he's massively depressed. Maybe that's why I love Zeta so damn much :lol
I always love more UC. But I'd actually like more Neo Zeon/Remnants type stuff. I've always hoped some of the early UC 0100's manga would make it to OVA's at some point. The Oldsmobile Army would be awesome to see on screen. Some of the Silhouette Formula stuff would be great for OVA's like Unicorn.

But more to the point I'd love to see a return to the Zeon rebellions of old in a latter point of the UC Timeline. It was such a shame to see the classic villains replaced by posers like Crossbone Vanguard & Zanscare. I know that by Victory and even really F91's point in time that there wouldn't be any or many living characters still tied to those wars. But the inheritors of that legacy exist. I'd love to see a new Zeon Empire in the UC 0200's rise up.

Turn A Gundam is weird

Fixed that for ya :p

I love the absolute zaniness of that show. And it's collecting of all the AU shows into the Dark History makes me love it even more. If Reconquista in any way at all is related to it I will be massively overjoyed. It could even explain why we're getting the Master Grade Turn X.

True, true.. It's such an old joke I just love when I get a chance to use it. Sorry. lol.

Oh man. Oh man. If this had a direct correlation to Turn A that would be amazing. Maybe... just maybe.. this is why we're finally get a MG Turn X. Okay probably not, but hey.. A guy can dream.
