Let's see...

The Dynames. It's one of the first Gundams I ever laid eyes on, and it's a sniper MS. I like snipers, and once I saw the show, I learned what a badass Lockon is.

The Heavy Arms. The first gunpla I ever considered getting, it's got gatling guns in every nook and cranny that you could cram one in, and I also love gatling guns.

The Wing Fenice. It's one of the best Wing modifications, and Felini is the best goddamn character in the entire show.

The Astray. It's my favorite modification base, because it's looks good in every variation.

And for grunts:

The Ahead. I'm not a fan of the Smultron, but the stock and Mr. Bushido custom versions are awesome.

The Tieren Gound Type. It just looks so realistic.

Every grunt suit from SEED ever. Seriously, they're all awesome. But if I had to choose, GINN.



But If I had to choose one, I'd go with the Dyames as the best Gundam and the Ahead as the coolest grunt. And the Sinanju as the best non-Gundam MS.

Holy shit.

...I have no words.

RX-78NT-1, "ALEX".

It ain't flashy, it ain't some sort of super-powerful deus ex machina with a laser swords. It does not have funnels or laser wings, it does not transform nor does it have a thousand different option parts.

It is exactly what its name implies: A newtype-oriented direct upgrade to the original RX-78. It is fast, it is flexible. It set standards for mobile suit design that would be felt all the way through the UC 90s. Plus, it had its name written on the shield in a badass font.

AND IT DOES NOT GET ANYWHERE NEAR ENOUGH LOVE.

My favorites are Wing Fenice and God/ Burning Gundam. Fenice is cool and unique take on what is my first gundam kind've. Burning because before the Build Fighters series it was one of the few super robots in the real robot populated gundam franchise.

So any old-school MSiA collectors out there? I'm considering selling mine and I'm testing the waters.

ER MAI GAWD DARK BUILD BURNING!!

*fangirls*

Former. You're scaring me.

You edited your comment :lol

The new episode was pretty nice. It was fun seeing them all work together and what not. I will say I'm not feeling the new brothers team. It's looking like we're getting BF's tech team again, but younger. Overall though it was a nice episode.

The new opening is pretty blehh (the beat is the only good thing about it) and the ending while generic I kinda dig.

THERE'S SO MUCH HYPE IN THE NEW OP!!!!

It was a fun ep, not much happened per se, but it had a nice pace and seeing everybody together was nice.

Plus al the introductions are great.
But number one spot goes for Julian Nemesis, I knew it! I knew it! No way they woudl waste that line from S1.

Dude, "Alex", "Alex", you can remember the name. :lol

I also love me some Z'Gok~
I think it strikes a perfect balance between utilitarian, zany, threatening and silly.

SD GUNDAMS THAT COMBINE INTO A DRAGON!!!!!
No seriously, I love the idea. :lol

Dancing petit bears!

Loved the new episode. I don't care if this show is a basic retread of season 1 I still love it.

The slice of life bits were fun, the pregnancy thing was bit awkward but played into the plot well, the new opening is LEAGUES better than the first one. Like so much better, as is the the new ending.

The new machines previewed in the opening are quite interesting as well. I know that thing looks like a Dark Burning Gundam but the basic outline reminds me more of the basic Strike than anything. In any case with Junya as the Fighter it's definitely going to be a short range hand to hand fighter.

Quick Gunpla Question: Do sharpies work as well as those actual gunpla markers, like for panel lining and stuff

I honestly thought that the guy in the hood was Sei at first.

That should have been the whole ending video.

I think some one on here made a theory or point, but it looks like Winning Gundam can become it's own HG kit.

Going by what Fumina said as well as this quick shot in the OP. If this is True MY Star Winning Gundam will forever be in this HG form because gosh damn I've been wanting a regular form since the First Winning Gundam

You gotta love all the op teasing~
Heck yeah for HG<->SD Winning!!!

Though, more importantly...
MOTHERFRIGGING SKULL HEART!!!!

I'm just going call this suit DArk Build Buring until official name comes out, but darn this suit looks really good I mean hey it does look a Dark Build Burning but hey the main design is really different, I also like how the Plasky Particle pieces are backwards on top of it's shoulders where as the Build Burning had it more going forward. And that skirt armor is HUGE!

Probably my second favorite suit from this season. I feel a Master Gundam vs God Gundam vibe now :lol

You think Junya is going to yell out "JIGEN HAOH SCHOOL!!" Like Sekai does? :lol

I think the head for sure is Build Strike though.

Not from my experience. Sharpies are not runny like Gundam markers are so it will not be able to fill in recessed details. They also make panel lines more thick but that is more personal preference I think. Over time Sharpies have a tendency to turn purpleish and lose the black colour I think.

Okay how can anyone still hate Gyanko after this episode?:lol

Apparently he's the kid from Team Nemesis back in season 1 now all grown up:

Not even close. Sharpies are ink not paint, so they don't dry. The ink is also runnier that paint.

Yeah, Gundam Markers are only for small fixes like nub marks and the like. Definitely not something you wanna use for full on paint jobs.

But they're OK for panel lining, right?

Yeah, but Tamiya makes an already thinned solution that's leagues better:

Oooh, I've never seen that before. How easy is it to use for a newb?

I haven't used it all that much myself but it comes with a tiny little brush attached to the cap so application pretty easy.

Neato, I'm gonna look into those.

Yep he is! That surname says it all. :)

Well I am getting HG Sengoku Astray from Barnes and Nobles. My Barnes and Nobles actualy just started selling them. To be honest, I'm really excited! :D

I'm also planning on getting Build Strike if they still have it and possibly, Fenice. :)

I can still call you "Formerko" if you want.

Good luck with sengoku. Its abit of a lengthy build

Thanks. :D
(I'm sure I can get through it... I hope...)

By the looks of things, I was right about the Winning Gundam being able to go HG, but I also think it's still have support pieces for Build Burning and Lightning.

I'm more interested in the European champ having the Skullheart! (Gee, wonder why), but I'm interested to see if it has custom parts or not, and if so HG plox.

I really like some of 00's suits but I loathe the show*dodges Powerman's attack* so I own no kits from it.

But you bought the suits you like from Seed Destiny

Seed Destiny had Shinn and Stella to make it tolerable to watch.

00 has Hilling Care


...shut up.

I was trying to figure out a pose for my Blue Frame D once he comes in next month, decided I'm going to go with something similar like this makes him looks menacing and stand out on my shelf.

Current Gunpla display for now. They look a bit rough, but I don't have the hands steady enough for added details.

Looks better then mine

^ What powerman said, mine is pretty simple too :lol

Whether or not I like a show has zero bearing on what kits I like/own, I just get what looks cool. Otherwise, I wouldn't have an Astray.

Cool, didn't know you were getting the Blue Frame. It's an interesting-looking kit, I just haven't seen much feedback about it on the net.

Trans-AM!
