November Gundam Models

Last month was filled with many new Gundam 00 kits(again). But first, let's take a look at...

BB Senshi #305 - Sonken Gundam
Sonken Gundam is yet another samurai-like BB Senshi. This one comes to us in the form of the sixth "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Gathering of Warriors" retelling miniset of Gundam models that Bandai has going on right now. I have never read the Chinese classic myself; apparently this model was inspired by one of the characters. Looks pretty neat; nice sword.

BB Senshi #306 - Ryofu Tallgeese
As the kit title states, the kit is tall and badass, but it really looks nothing like the Tallgeese. This is the seventh "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Gathering of Warriors" miniset. Again, this model was inspired by a character in the Chinese classic. I have to admit, this looks pretty cool, with the gold/black armor on the white body. They probably could have left that purple V-fin out of it though... Apparently, that cool-looking staff weapon can transform and be used by any of the other three in the set. It also comes with a horse(not pictured) that can transform into a bike. :)

Not that I have anything against the samurai-style SD Gundams, I like the ones portraying actual Gundams better.

Now on to Gundam 00.

Gundam 00 HG #3 - Gundam Dynames
This kit of Gundam Dynames not only comes with the sniper rifle(sniper cannon, anyone?) but its shoulder plates can revolve around to guard the front as it did in the anime. Its V-fin can also lower to reveal the sniping camera Lockon loves to use so much. Pretty nifty.

Gundam 00 HG #4 - Gundam Kyrios
Whee, a transformable model kit! Kyrios comes with its beam submachine gun, and its shield can even be converted into a claw... so is it Hallelujah psycho time nao?

Gundam 00 HG #5 - Tieren Ground Type
This interesting generic-looking bad-guy mech is (obviously) a customized MP version used for ground combat. Don't you love how through all the Gundam series, they still manage to pull off looking like a Zaku? They still have the monoeyes, at least XD. In any case, it's got a nice cannon and a carbon blade to use as weapons in your personal battle scenes.

Gundam 00 1/100 #1 Gundam Exia
Yay, the first 1/100 model of a Gundam 00 mech. It's pretty much got everything. Not sure if its hands are poseable, but they probably are, with the quality of 1/100 kits these days. Don't take my word for it.

Gundam 00 1/60 #1 Gundam Exia
And the last one for this month is the Perfect Grade Gundam Exia. It's incredibly detailed, and its hands CAN move! It comes with about a zillion weapons - well, all seven swords, anyways, and its GN shield. It's got some pretty damn cool boxart, too...

Well, that's all for November. December's models will come at the end of the month! All images are from HLJ (if you couldn't tell by the watermark), I'm just borrowing them. :P

Random note

This site is in my profile on FESS. I wonder how long it will take for someone to realize it's here?

If you do, keep it a secret :P

The CM Project

i.e. The new Crazed Machinations video game. I'm going back to traditional SRPG style game play on this one, but don't expect it to be exactly like Super Robot Wars...

Similarities to SRW: The theme, really(giant robots); separate pilot and unit stats; seishin(hot blood!!); multiple weapons; concept of upgrades

Differences from SRW: The stat system(low stats for a robot game); the battle flow - each unit is assigned a turn in a larger order, so it's not "move all your units and end your turn", it's "move this unit and let the next have its turn". However, it's not exactly the same as the aforementioned game; AP doesn't exist, instead, if you destroy an enemy unit on your turn, you get inserted halfway through the turn order instead of back at the end. That little idea came from the G Generation games.

Here is the story concept as of right now. Levels marked (addition) were subplots not originally present in the roleplay.

Stage 1: Avis' fight against a group of Thorn Beetles, after which he descends to Neo Tokyo
Stage 2: Seda's fight through an "unusually large" group of Zweist in order to meet up with the Daevas (addition)
Stage 3: Hayama and Natsumi's introduction; the Battle of Neo Tokyo
Stage 4: On the boat, Hayama and Natsumi investigating weird energy source (won't spoil it here ;)) (addition)
Stage 5: Ken arriving at the Schutz boat; there is a battle (addition)
Stage 6: The Battle of Manhattan's events
Stage 7: Sakura going renegade
Stage 8: The battle near the Great Wall of China
Stage 9: The battle where the Manly comes in (these two were separated)
Stage 10: The second - hueg - battle that the Daevas has; the Grim was there
Stage 11: Hayama's emo fite
Stage 12: Battling the Creator around the Manly
Stage 13: First part of the Battle of Blue Sky 3 - Preliminary up to Shard's appearance
Stage 14: Second part of the Battle of Blue Sky 3 - Shard's appearance to Zweist overrunning

For Part 2, there will be a few interlude chapters, after which you can choose the Schutz side or the Siberia side. After finishing one of the routes, you move onto the one or two chapter long subplot involving Syrus. Finally, you play the Vanguard's story. Eventually, they all meet up, and then the final battle vs Shard occurs.

Part 3 will be the final attack, but we haven't done that in the RP yet. XD
