I have a feeling that Barbatos might get some of the Hashmal parts attached to it when it gets repaired, given the shilloette for the next unknown Gundam in the IBO gunpla line.

I was wondering about that scene between Isurugi and McGills talking about what happened to Galeio, I was almost expecting them to say something about knowing different but it didn't go anywhere. I never thought about Vidar as a way to operate outside of the Seven Stars though.

I have a feeling for some reason that once IBO is over, I could see a sequel movie like Awakening of the Trailblazer being greenlit. I dunno, I feel like the mobile armor stuff is too good to not delve into more, albeit with a plot just focused on beating them and not involving political scheming. Plus a bigger budget. We can see what happens after IBO, we can get some cool action scenes without worrying too much about the plot, and we could get more flashbacks to the Calamity War.

I hope Barbatos doesn't go back to parts cannibalism. It made sense in season 1 given their limited resources, but Lupus is perfectly designed for Mika's pilotting skills.

Action without plot is a pretty boring thing.

I agree, but I do think it might happen for a few story reasons. Considering Tekkadan is on shaky ground with factions within Teiwaz, I wouldn't be surprised if someone cut off the funds to replace parts for Barbatos. Or that the armor they got off of Hashmal is far far better then Barabtos' Lupus' armor, so they just decide to use the best armor for thier best fighter.

The only problem with that, is that it's become clear that Orga can get in tough with the head of Teiwaz whenever he needs to, so their can't really be disruptions within Teiwaz. That's the entire reason the pimp guy is working with GH, because he can't do anything to Tekkedan as a fellow Teiwaz.

As for the Hashmal's amrour, it clearly isn't any better than the Lupus', since it got torn apart. And even still, the Hashmal's amrour isn't designed to fit on a Gundam frame.

Also, the model kits can't do it, which was the entire point of the parts stealing in season 1.

...I really want another Super Robot Gundam show.

So, in most respects, this thing puts the old MSiA to shame- or at least what I remember of it, given that it's been along time since I handled it.

Far superior range of motion, sturdier material, nicer handfeel (DAMN YOU VANGELUS), pointier pointy bits, and holy crap that anti-ship sword (Guess I need a Freedom now), and of course, much sharper details.

Bad news is that it misses a few points the 10 years-old version had, which I notice is an unfortunate recurring issue in the RD line. Namely, it can't separate into its component "Flyer" parts, lacks a full version of the Core Splendor or Silhouette Flyer, and the lack of a way to store the Folding Razors in the hips.

Still, it's a huge upgrade on the MSiA as it well should be, and you get plenty from it. Also includes an adapter piece for use with the Destiny Silhouette from the Destiny Impulse, and appears compatible with the WIZARD pack from Lunamaria's ZAKU Warrior going by the box art. No idea if it's backwards compatible with the Striker Packs, but... Well, maybe someday I'll find out. Need to find a cheap Strike Gundam first.

All in all, well worth it for a Gundam fan of any stripe. Even if you hate Destiny like I do.

Well my gundam markers and Matte coat should be here by friday and then my gundams should be nice and purty from here on out XD At least thats the hope

Meticulously (sp? lol) going through the thruster bells on the HG Psycho Zaku that need to be painted white. And gluing them in. These are so tiny and losable. This High Mobility Zaku could go to zero mobility with one shelf tumble. :lol

Build Fighters Try wasn't Super Robot enough?
