I hope though that Ridden being there doesn't bring the entirety of Mobile Suit Variations with him because good god a lot of the stuff in those stories are stupid. If you take all of MSV into account, there would apparently be 7 or 8 versions of the RX-78 running around. Not counting the Alex or the Thunderbolt. And that would be really dumb as a lot of the original MSG's tension/plot revolved around delivering the RX-78 back to home base. So having 6-7 other ones would diminish it.

Random thought but: What if Vertical's next Gundam manga project is translating Thunderbolt to coincide with the anime?

God I would kill for that. Always wanted to read Thunderbolt, would love to own it officially.

And yeah Johnny, or as you'd know him at this point in his life, Led Wayline, was in MSV-R The Return of Johnny Ridden. Which takes place in UC 0090. Amnesiac after the final Battle of A Baoa Qu, Johnny (Led) joined the Federation as a survey member examining mobile weapons of the One Year War era. Oddly he was even part of a task force that was looking for him! The types of mobile weapons he studied included those from Thunderbolt as far as I know as well. It opens up the door that he could be in this show in some capacity for flashbacks. That's my hope at the very least. And Johnny could very easily have been present for the battles in Thunderbolt as well. He was kind of all over the place during the OYW.
