I think that's when the Marute system is online.

I shall not question Gundam 00 movie logic from this point on.

It's an alternate head form for Harute called the Marute mode, whenever Halleujah and Soma Pieres take control of Alleujah and Marie.

And those ones look ridiculous, too.

Also, most Gundam aren't Samurais.

They almost all have "skirt" armor, crests, and vents that look like a samurai's layered armor. Even if they aren't samurai-like in fighting style, the design elements are there. I'd hazard a guess that in Japan, samurai-like design features are associated with warriors in general.

Dude I didn't put the train on the tracks but I'll drive it as long as there's passengers.

...I can't say I've heard that one before.

...huh, kinda reminds me of that 4-eyed look that the Ahead has.

I do have an HG Star Build Strike which I intended to do up in the RG system version colors. But now that I have this, it looks like I won't need to worry about finishing it.

Suppose I could strip the paint and do something else with it...I've been going over what a Dark Star Build Strike would be like with black and the RG System parts painted metallic red.

Double-standards, much?

Skirts, something commonly accociated with women, are fine. Moustaches, facial hair typically displayed on men and a sign of increased masculinity, are not.

Again, most Gundams have beards.

But they're not samurai. It's still just as irrelevant a design choice.

Dragons are also considered Gods and holy spirits in Japan, and royalty often grew moustaches. Turn A's supposed to be Godly-powerful, and even his name references the "Universal quantifier" of physics.

Dude every reason you got I got two better ones.

I wanna buy a bearyguy.

No you don't need him, you have your Burning kits.

But it's Sekai's sister Bearguy.

Go buy it.

It is frigging adorable.

Bearguy, another silly suit.

Gets a free pass. (I don't even dislike it)

FormerTitanium · 02-11-2015, 10:49 PM

LETS... TRY ON!!!

I must admit TryOn 3 really brings out the inner young child of everyone if you ask me. It hit's all the right spots, my second favorite mobile from Build Fighters totally.

(And I totally haven't been watching that episode for like the 20th time.. of course not)

No double standards involved. Most Gundam designs glean the best parts of samurai armor, but the Turn A uses the one lame part. And like you said, SOME samurai had mustaches on their masks, not all.

That's great, but the only place that the supposed dragon motif is seen is in the 'stache. If there were other dragon elements, I'd see where you're coming from. Like I said earlier though, the mustache needs to fit the aesthetic.
