 Gundam AGE-1 Spallow Model number: AGE-1S Overall height: 18.7m Base weight: 33.4t [Flit Chapter] A set of "Speed" Wear parts designed by the AGE System for the Gundam AGE-1, in response to the overwhelming mobility of the UE's Zedas. Reminiscent of the fictional ninja, the lithe Spallow's lightweight body is covered in verniers which allow it to achieve an unprecedented level of speed and mobility. It necessarily sacrifices in other areas to achieve this maneuverability, leaving it comparatively fragile. Armaments: Shiguru Blade: A short sword with an incredible degree of cutting ability. Needle Gun: Concealed, stake-launching weapons in the knees.  Adele Spallow Model number: RGE-G1100S Overall height: ??? Base weight: ??? [Asemu Chapter] As it makes use of the Wear system, the Adele is also capable of equipping the Spallow parts. Armaments: Shiguru Blade: A short sword with an incredible degree of cutting ability. Beam Saber: Stored on the hips. Needle Gun: Concealed, stake-launching weapons in the knees. |

They've been perfectly consistent with "Spallow", to the chagrin of many. |

Well, someone or some users from Wikia keep changing the article name to Sparrow. If no official spelling has spelled it as such then it gives me more reason to be more iron fisted and and change it back to Spallow like a tyrant (not that I'm the only want who want to keep it as Spallow; Deaky and another admin friend of mine want to as well). I'm an admin, I can pretty much do that anyways no matter what my reasoning is, but when you have the truth on your side, its always better. I'm acting based on that reasoning anyways so I'm just re-confirming just incase you found something since I don't closely follow the sources as you do. Edited by SonicSP, Oct 24 2011, 07:20 PM.

Okay dude..........please this is a family forum.  Okay gross, now I can NEVER think of Spallow as a weird misspelled attempt at a bird.Either that or SOMEONE in Bandai has a sense of humor. Those Japanese have been improving when we haven't looking. You know, this might actually be cross posting material....... Edited by SonicSP, Oct 24 2011, 07:26 PM.

Either way, the fact that so far most of their other english words have been spelled correctly seems to indicate it was inentionally spelled that way. It could also just have some other meaning. And not to mention look at the names for the actual characters. Most of those make no sense what so ever. |

I'm still going with weird Japanese hentai conspiracy...........  Well, I believe there was some description of an actual sparrow in the description somewhere I heard, so I guess that it is a usual L/R misspelled. But to have it being so coincidential and made it into a word such as this............I can't help but laugh. Edited by SonicSP, Oct 24 2011, 07:32 PM.

It'll be interesting to see how the official subs handle the name, since the katakana technically is "sparrow". Kyosuke's image is perhaps pushing the boundary of good taste, but I'll leave it alone so long as we don't get too childish. |

I removed it just in case. And I wouldn't be surprised if they did. I mean they changed Gilbert Dullindal to Durandal for the dub. |

^That's actually a decent theory rationalization to justify the spelling. But unfortunately I STILL have a bad taste in my mouth thanks to Kyosuke. >__> ========== I love the Spallow's shoulder plates. Remind me of the Avalanche Exia's a bit and the green colored dagger remind me of some of the more advanced GN Sword series of the Exia lineage that I love so much. If only it was a short sword rather than dagger though, making the dagger look a bit more menacing without making it look too big to affect the Spallow's lightweight mobility. Of course, of it has a beam saber generating ability, I won't have any complaints regarding the solid blade size. Just that having ONLY the dagger as a main weapon seems underwhelming. Still, I reckon the Spallow would still be impressive in combat one way or another, so it would be interesting to see what it can do with the Sigil Bladeand the Needle Gun. I sense that using the Normal's beam saber sounds like a good idea in theory as default sword length weapon. Perhaps it's going for the opposite of Exia's Seven Sword System, where redundancy and spares are the key, the Spallow might go for a more mininalist concept and use whatever little weapons it have as effective as possible using the main body's ability.

You know, the DODS Rifle so far appears to be mispelled in the AGE-1 UI on episodes 2 and 3 according to the Official Subs. You know what would be funny? If they eventually spelled Spallow "Sparrow" on the AGE-1 UI later on, essentially misspelling their misspell to get it correct......>__> |

You know, the model could just be uncolored or without the sticker as even being actively use in the pic it was without the green. Still, it looks quite green in the opening to me so I would be surprised if it was not colored when in use. |

Wow, it does have a lot of thrusters. I reckon the mass reduction combined with extra thusters is giving it that extra speed. |

This may be a marketing gimmick but the gageing spallow arms comes with the white blade while the legs comes with the green blade. The text on the pic mentions that the white blade is the non-glow/power up ver. while the green one is the glow/power up ver. |

Probably the same thing as most Gundam fanart there, or recolors, touchups, and other photoshopped images. Either posted in at the end of the page as a highlight reel, or filling the spot at the top of the page so a person has a visual reference for the machine in question. |

My fellow admin, we have a lot of fanart in Gundam Wikia that we usually put at the end of articles. We just don't put them as the main lineart section like we used to. I recall I had to work hard to get that legislation passed since we were almost exclusively using the 3D fanarts whenever we could (and those can have inaccurate potrayals from time to time). ===================== I'm mainly thinking of any that is of "sword" length, does not matter what type of sword. Hell I'll be fine if its regular beam sabers. Now that I think about it, Flit or the AGE-1 has not even used a sword yet. While I think a dagger can be advantageous (Flit seems to have developed a knack for them) in some situations, it would be awesome to me at least to see a sword as an option somewhere. At this point, we have not even confirmed whether it has any beam sabers period even though this archetype design sort of screams for one as an option the very least. The good thing about beam sabers is that they don't weigh a lot especially relative to solid swords even if they probably use more power output (especially important in Spallow's case since it's very likely that its relative lightness is a big factor in its speed and mobility specialization), so I think the Spallow design could be greatly enhanced with one or two beam swords. It would be cool of the Sigil Blade can generate one, not unlike the Genoace's Heat Stick or the Flag's Sonic Blade/Plasma Sword weapon. But it would be nice if it had separate ones as well, just to act as backup. Swords can be displaced pretty easily due to the nature of close combat, and its always nice to have one or two extra options besides the Needlegun. The Titus certainly had a lot of attacking options all over its place. Also curious to see the Needlegun's effectiveness. While I think a light beam type weapon would be better, the idea of having its knees shoot is kinda neat since it means the arms might be free for melee combat and making the design interchange a bit between the two.

Thanks for that gif, the cheorograph of the Spallow is so sweetening to see in this pacing and with this repetition. Beautiful sights to my eyes. And yeah, the Needlegun doesn't seem to be doing much damage. But it seems to me that it may server the purpose for stunning while the Spallow gets a chance for a clean shave with the Sigil Blade.

The Japanese Wiki sources SD G-Generation 3D for an...unusual detail. Apparently, the game claims that the Shiguru Blade enhances its cutting power by way of using solar energy absorbed through the Spallow's armor. |

I'd say G-Gen is a more credible source than, say, Dynasty Warriors Gundam, but video games in general should be considered lower sources than animated or printed works. |

30km/s for the needleguns? Doesn't seem to look that fast and that should be pretty fast!! Should do more damage honestly, but I guess one also have to take into account the energy content/resistance of the Vagan MS armor and maybe the bullets are also light as a feather. Seems like an electromagnetic-use gun like the Linear Rifles from 00. I guess I'll just take technical details from the novels without taking the actual events given how they deviate and I haven't heard a disclaimer from the director yet.

It was not armed with beam weapons in order to reduce detectivity(探知性), in other words it was made for stealth. The shiguru blade turns out to be extremely heavy and requires the whole body to be swung to swing the blade. This blade requires some time to be rehardened after cuts and is not designed for used for long periods. There is also something about the anti-friction of the blade being low. |
