Nothing spectacular, but now there is a Gage-ing Builder figure announced for an "Ace A" unit in the second-gen.
Could just barely make out the Kanji, but it is an enemy ace from the second generation.

AGE won't have to worry about that.

Because it's not selling anything at all.

All the other kits are at down to 70-50% of their original price.
Don't assume that just means they're doing poorly. There can be lots of reasons for discounts (like sales or ordering too many of a product) and using 4chan or 2chan as a source for mecha stuff usually means you're dealing with people with their own agenda and no oversight.


That' true for a lot of Gundam fans dating back to when I was a member of Gundam.com. Gundam fans are notoriously passionate about the franchise and arguing about the different series. Just look at how Fukuda and Morosawa are treated just because they created Gundam Seed Desiny.

Can't say I'm impressed with the Zedas R.

The new UE (Dorado?)...I don't know what to think of it. It is fine as a design, but at the moment it looks like it sheds a lot of the 'monstrous' character of the UE designs for something considerably more conventional. Hopefully it proves me wrong.

"Conventional" is definitely the first term that came to mind. Well, at least skirmishes will be colorful enough.

I'm guessing the R, in Zedas R, just stand for "Repair"(?). Looks like it's just gonna be a recolor with the tan parts replaced with red. The other two looks pretty good.

I think I should appropriate the name as "Drad". It has pretty good proportions maybe due to the removal of the transformation system. The Zedas R looks pretty boring, and the Atel is just a GN-X III.

Summaries for ep 12 and 13:

Also, there's no ep on the 25th.

EDIT
LightningZERO
 
Brief translation:

Episode 12
On the way to the colony Abato (?), Diva encounters Federation forces aiming to capture Grodek. At that moment, UE appears and attacks

Episode 13
The battle at Abato (?) begins with Diva united army vs huge fleet of UE. To gain advantage against the UE, Diva activates its new power....

Arios...never thought of that. A Macross-like transformation would invite the ire of another group of fans.

Perhaps an irreversible 'gattai' with Gundam Age-1?

I think a combination would be kind of odd, given that the Diva and Gundam appear to have been designed and produced by separate groups who have not been shown to have been in communication with one another. Even the AGE System would be hard-pressed to cough up a plot device to make it happen, I'd think.

Argh...logic! Oh well, there's always the non-transformational super weaponry. And virtually every Gundam show featured some kind of mega particle cannon.

I see the pattern now: the more cryptic a character's name, the more forgettable they're supposed to be.

From the way things are progressing, the climax should be around episode 13-14. Seems like we've barely scratched the surface of AG and the current generation's about to hand-off the baton to the next one. There better be some interesting twists or turn of events in the upcoming episodes.

No kidding, our little boy's all grown up now and has a mustache to boot. Someone give that man the Turn A!

Is that.........Woolf? He doesn't look that old, Flit argubly looks older. This guy Also reminds me of Dante and Archer now with the white hair+red coat treatment. Maybe its another guy afterall.

I've always curious to see how Decil looks like, if he survives Gen I that is.

Very satisfying to see our previously young protagonist aging well. Makes me wonder if the second arc will be grittier and filled with real conflicts. How much will the final showdown in Flit's arc influence the outcome of his ultimate fate? What sort of relationship will Asem have with his father? There's lot of material for the writers to work with, I hope they don't fudge it.

That promo image looks quite promising, I hope the art quality improves in the next season.
It'd be weird if Flit follows the same path as Bruzer and kills himself to save a colony or whatever(hence the 'stache). ^_^;
And regarding the Woolf look-alike, DK was a pretty big fan of Woolf...so that kinda sparks the possibilities that's DK trying to be like Woolf. If so then - daaayuum! that's some improvement.

Dique would look quite a bit older though, wouldn't he? Not that this Woolf look-alike being Dique wouldn't be amusing, but I can't help but wonder if we're looking at the son of Woolf/Millais or (as Homeless brought to my attention) Mukured/Lalaparly.

I wouldn't mind any of these outcomes coming true, honestly. I will admit however, that I'd be a bit happier if the character was the offspring of the Madorna folks. There'd be lots of potential for a fun little rivalry between him and Asemu since both their parents would be MS designers.

I should have probably put 'leather' in quotations marks or something along those lines, but its the first thing that came to mind when I saw it, so I just called it that.

EDIT: Btw, does anyone feel my signature photo is too big? or are you ok with it?

Since there's no other thread for it,

LMAOL at the 2nd popularity contest winners
http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/6866/1323707120432.png

Though in the case of Millais, chances are she'd have been the winner either way since she and Yurin are really the only popular females in the show, followed by Madorna's wife.

Woolf though probably would have been the 1st in the 1st poll had it gone legitly.

No it wouldn't, it'd be just another stupid UC trope. And one of the worst. I was hoping AGE would try to be different form the norm, and it's tried to be. But if it does happen, goddammit....

Killing Yurin off would be unfortunate. She's by far the most popular character, largely by accident. Emily got the short end of the stick in the first arc. She had the most potential to be the most supportive and interesting sidekick to Flit.

Overall, I have to say that so far everything about the mechs with the exception of the UE, has been disappointing.

Genoace never did squat.

Genoace Custom had like one real fight, and then never used again.

Titus basically had that one episode, and then it was pretty much useless by the next one.

G-Excessive had it's awesome debut, but then suddenly side lined and turned to babysitter for the fairdain people, and with given how much time is left who knows if it'll even do anything. And I doubt it'll be around when the 20+ year time skip happens. (I doubt Flit will knock up his waifu that soon after his arc ends)

Spallow was showy, but at the same time it again felt like just another toy commercial. If anything it'll probably get reverted back to Normal age for whatever the final battle in this arc is going to be.

Maybe Genoace's powerplant just can't produce enough beam output to damage anything no matter what it uses? I'm pretty sure if the Genoace could have used the DODS effectively, the Diva would have created one or two more for the Genoace and Genoace Custom.

Kinda one of the things that frustrates me about the lack of technical info on the energy distribution of the mechs' weapon systems. Sometimes hard to tell a logical decision within a story from say bad writing.

Not that the AGE-2 appearing immediately is less annoying, I fully expect it to be the result of a long term development, but I guess you never know.
