As for the timeline thing, interesting, as there is a lot that can attribute to it being a prequel. First, the GN particles the Gundams emit seem like the precursor to the Minovsky Particles in the UC stuff. As for the mobile suits thing, I don't recall them ever saying they never existed before. Plus, how would they build space colonies without mobile suits? There is also the possibility that they stopped producing them when peace came to pass as everyone was focusing on space colonies.

You're most likely right, but it seems like this could easily be placed in any of the time lines if they so choose. Kind of like how Tomino decided to put G-Turn A and Recon G all in the UC universe.

Episode 16 or 17 is sort of a clip show, I think for about half the episode. But there's a big fight the previous episode, so you need to see how Celestial Being gets out of it.

It's shown in Gundam the Origin of how mobile suits came to be. In the Universal Century, before mobile suits, they had mobile workers to build the space colonies.



These mobile workers were eventually developed and modified by Zeon to become the first mobile suits we see in Gundam The Origin and 0079. I don't see how something as revolutionary to combat as the mobile suit (see: The Battle of Loum or One Week battle, mobile suits wiped the floor with federation ships.) being forgotten about.

Alos, there's something at the end of the 00 movie that defintley could not make it a prequel to any other shows. I won't spoil it, but I don't think this thing could be forgotten about/hidden away down the road.
