This isn’t the first time we’ve covered a mobile suit created for a fighting game, but it never ceases to be fascinating! The Dolmel is a friend that was locked in obscurity for ages, a pet favorite of many who know more about Gundam than a human should. Then it was very recently added to GBO2, and its popularity is surging. Don’t accuse the listener who requested it of being a bandwagoner, though- they requested the Dolmel well before its GBO2 appearance!
Here is a Google Drive folder with images we reference this ep that aren’t on the Gundam Wiki. Dylan was kind enough to create it for me- thank you Dylan! A few of them near the end are from the Pixiv of Masahumi Matsuura, creator of the manga Outer Gundam.
If you want to find us on Twitter, Dylan is @lowpolyrobot and Six is @sixdettmar. Our opening theme is the Hangar Theme from Gundam Breaker 3, and our ending theme for this episode is the title screen music from Mobile Suit Gundam: EX Revue. (It’s a cover of Tobe! Gundam!) Our podcast art is a fantastic piece of work from Twitter artist @fenfelt. Want to see a list of every unit we’ve covered from every episode, including variants and tangents? It’s right here.
