Mechanista in G – Cleanup 4/29/26

Scanline Media — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 04:36:42 +0000

In fairness, the first half of the episode IS cleanup. It's only after the initial set that I just start making Dylan look at random mobile suits we haven't covered. I suppose in theory I'm spoiling an eventual Gundam Eight episode, but c'mon. It's more fun this way.

Mechanista in G – RGE-G1100 Adele

Scanline Media — Thu, 23 Apr 2026 04:15:25 +0000

Surpass the AGE. ...Ok, maybe the Adele isn't literally a better performing machine than the AGE-1. But it MIGHT be. And it's definitely a better LOOKING design. Yeah I made some enemies with that statement but not that many. There aren't that many AGE shooters out there period. It's ok.

Mechanista in G – GAT-X370 Raider Gundam

Scanline Media — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 05:32:04 +0000

Gundam SEED is really just a tide of gundams. Like, whatever you think about the show's quality, you can't deny that it just introduces so, so many new gundams, significantly more than previous shows. And they can't all be winners, especially when you have legendary designer Kunio Okawara chained to his desk as he begs to be allowed to go home. No, Okawara. No. The episode comes out in three days, we need you to design five more gundams. Of course we don't care if they're any good, just get it done.

The Raider is not his best work.

Mechanista in G – NCC-74656 USS Voyager

Scanline Media — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 04:23:32 +0000

As similar as Starfleet's designs are at first glance, not all of the Federation's ships are created equal. And I'm sorry, but we just don't care for the Intrepid-class starship, or its most iconic representative, the USS Voyager, all that much. Still, it's always fun to talk about the odd and intriguing specifics of Star Trek. Even if we're very, very tired.

With Dylan ready to make their personal pick, our show moves into uncharted territory: 1980s dungeon crawler RPGs! It's Squaresoft (now Square Enix)'s first RPG, it's a Mika Akitaka design, it's Cruise. Chaser. Blassy~! Come enjoy a design that's far more fleshed out than it needs to be given the hardware it's for- and a number of reinterpretations besides.

Mechanista in G – Skeith, the Terror of Death

Scanline Media — Sun, 08 Mar 2026 07:50:20 +0000

We have to spoil ourselves every now and then around here. Sure, one can argue that Avatar Skeith is a mecha. There's a way to make that case. But that's not why we're suddenly talking about .hack on this show. It's just because I want to, and my friend Dylan is kind enough to humor me.

The armor? Great. Love the armor. The fingers, oh. Those are fantastic. And great colors all around. But, uh, what are you swingin there, bud? Are you swinging... a weapon that's been broken for a few hundred years? That wouldn't be that hard to fix, at least by giant robot standards. Hmm. Hmm. I see. Well. We all make choices.

Scanline Media — Thu, 19 Feb 2026 06:36:14 +0000

Entrust your fate to the big, mechanical hands of the cards. Listener CrossZeta made a very efficient request, because we'll probably be rolling Cardfight Vanguard designs for years without rolling out (given that they're only a percentage of the requests anyway). Then again, maybe not- it's fun to tackle one-offs, but we're trying to tackle lines of robo, and there may not be that many lines within the game. Time will tell!

Mechanista in G – ASW-G-01 Gundam Bael

Scanline Media — Thu, 12 Feb 2026 01:15:03 +0000

It's been a while since we've had an episode about a single machine with no variants or upgrades. And one so deserving of them, too! I get that the appeal of the Bael is elegant simplicity. But the Bael exists! Let's have a Bael High Mobility, or a Bael Cannon, or a Bael Full Armor! I know that's not how IBO designs are built or named. I don't care. I just like seeing cool designs be iterated on, and I am being deprived of that. This is bullying, they're bullying me.

It's not our first tokusatsu mecha, but it might be our most charming. King Joe (great name, by the way) is coming at us straight from Ultraman, a combining robot that proved an instant hit. I love the way having to have a real dude in a suit affects the design of toku robots. Personality is an inevitable consequence.

Maybe the red I see is not the same as the red you see. And maybe I first encountered the G-Arcane in Gundam Versus for the PS4 and haven't thought about its color scheme since then. Dylan's right about some things, wrong about some other things, but it's always a good idea to reexamine your assumptions.

Mechanista in G – GUNBOY-Wilbur

Scanline Media — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 21:19:53 +0000

Sometimes you do it for the boys. Sometimes you do it for the 'Gram. And sometimes? You do it For the Barrel. Today we discuss the designs of a Gundam AU that, I don't wanna tell tales outta school, but might possibly have been so badly written that its mechanical designer walked away in the middle of the project. It's a shame, because that designer was clearly one of the few parts of this project actually killing it.

I think I forgot to say it on air- maybe I didn't? It feels kinda familiar? But this is a double request, from listeners muffinlord and Gaiseric! A big thank you to the Patreon creator Byston Well Stories, who can also be found on Bluesky, for your hard work translating For the Barrel and uploading scans of it, we really appreciate it!

Alright, alright, get your jokes out of the way. This manta ray lookin' dude is one of SEED's design successes, so I won't have you teasing them too hard. Expect the usual SEED issues- line art errors, slightly nonsensical weapon details, an element here or there that would improve the whole design if it were simply removed- but the GOOhN's alright with us.

I didn't PLAN to make this the Victor Show. Sometimes these things just... happen. Hey, if we're gonna do card game designs, we should do like. Netrunner, and Yu-Gi-Oh!. And Magic I suppose, I'll be honest, I don't really care about Magic. I did in high school, and it's not like I've "grown out of it" or anything, I've just lost interest. But maybe it has some cool mecha cards. That could potentially sway me.

It's fun to discover whole worlds you previously knew nothing of.

And I was like, "oh, there are a decent number of these, huh?" Friends, I had no idea. Once we looked into the topic... wow. This card game has a lot of robots in it.

I should dial back the Gundam AGE hate. Even its titular Gundam line has a few winners, and the AGE Gundams are the worst designs in the series. The other mobile suits, there are some clear winners! I'd count the G-Bouncer among their number. And it's not fair to hold the writing against them. ...Mostly. I'm sorry, the Freedom DOES have to suffer for the crime of the Rainbow Beams of Peace.

Scanline Media — Sat, 27 Sep 2025 07:15:30 +0000

There's no identity crisis to be had here, because this show has long since extended its reach past just mecha... but these machines don't have pilots! They are remote controlled though, which is certainly a kind of piloting. It's a pedantic distinction, but it can be fun to consider how the categorization works out. The machines of Robot Alchemic Drive seem a-okay to me. A real shame the Gllang apparently sucks, it's sick.

Mechanista in G – SX-NFR-01SES Tyrant Sword

Scanline Media — Wed, 03 Sep 2025 17:00:00 +0000

"Neofalia," you see, is the name of the research institute where this machine (and others) are built. And it's called "Tyrant" because it issues orders to machines that follow its commands, its "Slaves." And it's called "Sword" both because it has a sword, but also in the sort of grand metaphorical sense where you might refer to any instrument of violence, sapient or not, as your "sword." And they use "of" because... actually hang on, you probably knew that one. If not the others as well. Can you tell I didn't have a good idea for show notes?

Mechanista in G – GNX-704T Ahead

Scanline Media — Wed, 27 Aug 2025 17:00:00 +0000

In my memory, when I think about Gundam 00, I forget the Ahead ever happened. It papers over everything with GN-XIIIs and Ga-family machines. Now, this is both fair and unfair. The fair part is, the Ahead sucks. It's dumb and bad. The unfair part is, almost no design ENTIRELY sucks. It still has some cool elements, not to mention cool variants.

It's a robot that can pick stuff up. And frankly can't even do that very well! But, y'know... be careful who you make fun of in high school.

Mechanista in G – STH-05 Hyakuren

Scanline Media — Thu, 24 Jul 2025 09:32:23 +0000

Since we're doing our second IBO design in a row, let me just say... I really don't think the IBO Gekko movie is ever coming out. Or Iron-Blooded Orphans G or however they brand it. It's an adaptation of a failed game, coming from Sunrise (well, Bandai Namco filmworks, but let's not get pedantic), a production company that can't ship an anime to save its life. Literally, it can't. If the company was gonna run out of money tomorrow they would just have to accept it because they don't know how to make anime anymore.

Hathaway 2? Yeah, that'll happen. The first did very well and its sequel is eagerly anticipated. But this show based on a game that seems like it kinda sucked? I imagine that's just gonna fade into the background.

I've ignored this design for ages. At first blush (ha cuz it's pink), it really doesn't seem like anything special to me. But a closer examination reveals that this is actually a pretty awesome design, with a lot of cool stuff! And then there's the Hajiroboshi, which, sorry, I think I was pretty much right about. It's not bad! It's just... unremarkable, given its peers. What if an IBO gundam was pink and had no cool gimmicks. Ok. Put the Marchosias back on screen, please!

We should have never let Akutsu do the Castor & Pollux. I can't say for certain that that's where it all began- I haven't done my homework like that. But it just makes sense. He did those two-faced robots, those Janus-headed little jerks, and it just gave him a taste for reversible two-identitied designs that... I'm sorry, they're bad! There are some things to like about the Mirage Frame, but the two-faced elements just make it kinda crap. The Blazing, though! The Blazing rules.

I suppose I can't fault the theming: these machines are, in fact, of a knightly aesthetic. Dylan makes the Shovel Knight comparison during this ep, and it's spot on. But something about it rubs me the wrong way. Not the designs- that's a whole separate matter. But these guys being called the Black Knights. Maybe it's just because they're Sauceless in Seattle? Not quite sure. I have encountered a lot of cool "black knight" characters, and these folks just don't rank.

Mechanista in G – Trinity (G-Reco)

Scanline Media — Wed, 28 May 2025 20:38:59 +0000

These days, it's all about having extra legs. Think about it: more legs means more fun. Especially if they're incoms! Though actually, that brings up an interesting point of discussion: the Trinity's legs are remote weapons on wires. Classically, we call those "incoms." But the show calls them "leg funnels." There's also the classic example of the Nu Gundam's "fin funnels." By the original definitions, if it's disposable it's a funnel, if it's reusable it's a bit, and if it's on a wire it's an incom. So the Nu Gundam's fin funnels are bits!

Probably it is just a representation of how language evolves: over time, the distinction between "bits," "funnels," and "incoms" becomes less useful, and they simply all are called by the name of the most common form, the funnel. That's my guess. Also it's fun to shout "Funnels!"

As Dylan says, it's kinda wild we haven't covered this one already, but that's what happens when you live at the whim of the dice. The Den'an Zon may go even further with imperialist aesthetic than even the mobile suits of Zeon, but by focusing on a more German Empire WW1 thing, it ducks the Nazi comparison in favor of examining old world European aristocracy as aesthetic. It works for me.

X Dive is an- ahem, sorry. X DiVE is an interesting image of what Mega Man design might look like if the series had been continued to the current day. We spend a lot of both of these episodes talking about how the designs from the X series of games are so bad, but they cover a pretty specific period of time, and reflect the aesthetics of that era. Kind of. Frankly there was good design back then too, and I'm just making excuses.

Mechanista in G – Mega Man X (Part 1)

Scanline Media — Fri, 24 Jan 2025 00:38:39 +0000

X gonna give it to ya, or so I'm told. Today we make a surprising discovery- at least when considered with a mecha/robotic design eye, a lot of Mega Man's design is pretty... bad? These boys truly, truly don't know how to use color. There are some winners, don't get me wrong, but... yeesh. Not the best I've seen. Samus really puts X to shame. Also the X parasites, come to think of it.

Mechanista in G – GNZ-003 Gadessa

Scanline Media — Thu, 16 Jan 2025 07:35:36 +0000

Like a lot of Season 2, the GNZs feel a little underbaked to me. Not that much individually, but as a line of products. I suppose this is just how thoroughly this show has made me MSV-brained, because without seeing a bunch of variants and clear iteration, grunts and such don't feel right to me anymore.

Mechanista in G – T-34 Tank

Scanline Media — Fri, 10 Jan 2025 07:44:25 +0000

Really, tanks are just Heavy Cars, right? Kinda. I mean treads turn because of the wheels inside them. So it's a big box with a motor that turns wheels. I suppose this kind of reductive logic leads you to saying things like "a CAT5E network cable is a sandwich" so perhaps I should stop while I'm far, far behind. The T-34 was a workhorse of WW2 not because it was the best tank, but because it was the right combination of effective and easy to make. The Zaku of the Eastern Front, perhaps. It almost has as many variants as the Zaku, as well....

Mechanista in G – MSJ-121 Demi Trainer

Scanline Media — Fri, 03 Jan 2025 02:16:30 +0000

Trainer types are an interesting type of mobile suit we don't get to see often. The GM Trainer is an example, as is the Nero Trainer Type of course. Those two are different in terms of order: when they were designing mecha for the show, the GM came before the GM Trainer, but the Nero and the Nero Trainer Type were pretty much designed at the same time. Here's a third style: we see the MSJ-121 Demi Trainer quite a while before we see any sort of non-trainer model.

Steel Ground Dragon! If MOGUERA were a pokemon, I'd say that was too many types! Though bit aside, MOGUERA wouldn't be Dragon type. Just Steel/Ground. This guy was in one sci-fi movie in the 50s, and then almost disappeared for forever. But almost forty years later, the Godzilla franchise decided they needed a successor to MechaGodzilla... and the rest is history. Let's read some of that history, huh?

Children like Gundams. Young adults like ace custom versions of grunts. But true maturity is loving a basic, no-frills grunt. And there aren't many that draw those better than our friend Ippei Gyoubu. So when we saw he had not just a non-custom version of Guel's machine from the start of the show, but a predecessor to that? Well. Let the good times roll.

Mechanista in G – MD-0064 Darilbalde

Scanline Media — Thu, 21 Nov 2024 07:57:50 +0000

As a rival machine, the Darilbalde is an interesting example of how mobile suit aesthetic has changed. Certainly, part of it is down to Ippei Gyoubu's art style, but the bulky elegance of the Darilbalde, its spears and shields, it's a far cry from the Zaku II Commander Type.

A general goes to war with the army that was given to him by his mafia sponsor, not the one he wants. Or rather, he doesn't even do that- as famously one of the machines we're talking about today spent a long time on the bench. The Shiden sits in a weird place among IBO grunts, feeling torn between the rest of the world's design, and other 00s and beyond Gundam art. But it's still cool.

Scanline Media — Wed, 09 Oct 2024 17:00:00 +0000

Unlike Dylan, I'm skeptical we'll get any sort of Pharact variants in the Witch from Mercury manga. In its own story, it's born of such specific circumstances that it's hard to imagine why there'd be a Pharact Ground Type, or a Pharact Full Armor, or what have you. But heaven knows I've been wrong before, and I'd love to see more iteration on this design... whether it's done by Inaba, Inata, or Inada.

But other SEED media has shown that Orb will make katana for their mobile suits, so perhaps it was going to happen one way or the other....

This being the second time (and with the first not being very Mechanista-compatible) we thought it would be fun to have the two shows tie into each other! Join us for the aircraft of Ace Combat 3!

From such humble beginnings. You know, you could say that about both the Galluss family of mobile suits, AND Mashymre Cello, really. Debuting as the slapstick villain of the week, leading the charge with Open Cockpit Hijinks, various mecha designers take this (already cool) design (when it's not the punchline of a joke) and turn it into a variety of cool friends.

We're closing out the last of the major GAT-X suits this week as we return to normal coverage, and the loving(?) arms of the Cosmic Era. What's so strange about the Aegis is how much of it is abandoned going forward in SEED. True, the Freedom has very little Strike in it, but there's the Strike Rouge and Noir, and the Impulse is a clear successor, etc. The Aegis just... happens. And then SEED tries to forget about it. But we won't. We can't.

Mechanista in G – Warframes (Part 1?)

Scanline Media — Wed, 29 May 2024 18:00:00 +0000

A promise unforgotten. It was a bit of work, and it's a bit clunky, but we are here to talk about warframes as promised. The designs themselves are of course very cool, but they also prompt a difficult question: if mecha don't have to be big, and they can be organic, where is the line drawn? Is a warframe a mecha? Is a person being possessed a mecha? But in truth this is pedantry: we know a mecha when we see one, and it's as simple as that. Warframes aren't mecha. But they ARE dope.

Mechanista in G – VF-1 Valkyrie

Scanline Media — Thu, 16 May 2024 08:36:42 +0000

They say "don't start with a showstopper," yet in the world of transforming mecha, the designers of Super Dimension Fortress Macross did exactly that. The Valkyrie set off a trend of mecha that can transform into planes, but nearly all the designs it inspired are inferior to this perfect, classic original by Kazutaka Miyatake and Shoji Kawamori. Then again, maybe it was only a showstopper for other designers- someday we might get to talk about the mecha from future Macross series, which are no slouches themselves.

How do mobile workers, including our Construction Mobile Suit here, play into "mobile suits have never brought happiness to anyone" as a statement?

Might this be the most intricate mobile suit family tree outside of UC Gundam? I honestly think it might. Gundam AGE is a big blind spot for me, and also just a strangely big thing in general. It's not well liked. At all. But Level 5 and Sunrise went so in on it from the start that even with how quickly it became clear the show was not catching, there's just a ton of material for it.

Not... like the way the plane itself flies off, the door popped off the plane and- I mean you get it. I am not foolish enough to believe that Boeing is unique in its villainy, this is what huge corporations do, but that don't make it not evil.

Even the original designs from crossover series have their own successors and design lineage! The Gespenst hasn't gotten any new variants in a while, but that's ok: the torch has been carried on by designs like the Alteisen, the Weissritter, the Wildsch- oh, sorry. Forget that last one. Not today. But the point is, design never stands still. Though I don't think any of these can do an Ultimate Gespenst Kick (or Alteisen Kick or whatever), and that's a bit of a letdown.

Mechanista in G – Anti-Gnosis Weapon Systems

Scanline Media — Sun, 28 Jan 2024 08:52:31 +0000

I really hate that you pronounce the acronym A.G.W.S as "eggs." It's repugnant. The machines themselves are designs that range from cool to excellent by designers like Junya Ishigaki and Kouichi Mugitani, so why must you give them such a bad name?! Sigh. Well, let's talk about some friends already, eh?

Mechanista in G – ZM-S19S Shy-Tarn

Scanline Media — Wed, 24 Jan 2024 22:17:34 +0000

Is the Angel Halo the most wild weapon in all of Gundam? I certainly think in all of Tomino Gundam, where the competition is MOSTLY guns of various size. Well, and stuff like the Adzam Leader and such. Tomino does love to electrocute and microwave pilots, sometimes at the same time. Anyway, the Shy-Tarn is a Zanscare mobile suit that's neat but has nothing that special about it.

Scanline Media — Fri, 19 Jan 2024 02:32:12 +0000

They got bought! The Mini was a popular enough design that BMW took an interest, and ever since 2001, the German manufacturer has been in charge of the iconic British car. Have they done right by the design? Well, no. Have they done worse than any other car designer in the 2000s making their stupid Allcars? No. It could be much worse.

Mechanista in G – V07-0126 Sigrún

Scanline Media — Thu, 11 Jan 2024 01:02:43 +0000

The Calamity War of IBO lore must have been kinda dumb, right? Like, ok. I have to give this another sentence so the preview doesn't spoil the show. But there were railgun archer lines, samurai, wild (???) mobile armors attacking any and everyone, one hundred and EIGHT different Gundams running around with weapons like pliers and box cutters, tons of pilots were physically plugged into their mobile suits, and a quarter of humanity died. I really hope they never do a spinoff about it, because it seems really stupid, frankly.

Scanline Media — Fri, 05 Jan 2024 09:28:33 +0000

It feels wrong not calling it a Mini Cooper. Just "Mini?" It feels off. And too bad, because it's correct: John Cooper stole the thunder of Sir Alec Issigonis, noble designer of the British Motor Corporation Mini, and we're not going give him credit until his name really does take over. But to be honest. To be honest? This car is kinda meh.

Why such long model numbers, Seed? Are you perhaps compensating for how empty your worldbuilding is? You don't need such tricks, you actually have just a fun design this time! Gundam so rarely messes with quadrupedal machines, and the BuCUE is a pal. I'm not sure why it has so few weapons though....

Mechanista in G – F71 G-Cannon

Scanline Media — Fri, 22 Dec 2023 07:38:08 +0000

Lots of Gundam shows and movies start from going "here's our new spin on the RX-87-2." But few are brave enough to give us their take on the Guntank and, yes, the Guncannon. F91 has that courage, and with a seasoned Kunio Okawara behind them, it even makes a dang good Guncannon and Guntank. They're freakin' sick. If indeed this had been Only The Beginning, I wonder if we would have eventually gotten an F91 take on the Zeong. Unless that's the Rafflesia...? Food for thought.

Mechanista in G – The Big O

Scanline Media — Wed, 13 Dec 2023 23:55:39 +0000

The thing is, it's not that I dislike super robots. I just want some design elements to sink my teeth into! The problem with super robots is often they handwave any details, and paint in broad brush. Just give me details that don't make sense! There's no WAY all these weapons fit inside the Big O- and that's fine! It's sick! We should all aspire to be so rad.

Mechanista in G – GN-003 Gundam Kyrios

Scanline Media — Thu, 07 Dec 2023 10:10:32 +0000

In my mind, the Kyrios is the least of the four main Gundams of 00. I probably still believe that after our episode, but I was definitely selling the Winged One short. There's a lot to love about this design, including a cool flight mode, a sick double-barreled beam machine gun, and a special Sickos Only shield weapon. The angel is in the details, sometimes: when you really stare and squint you see the true beauty of the design. Also when you have the artist's production art instead of just the lackluster settei art.

Speaking of which, here's a folder of the images we reference! You could look at that while listening, OR, you could... read the next paragraph.

Mechanista in G – Porsche 911 (Part 2)

Scanline Media — Thu, 30 Nov 2023 08:44:04 +0000

I saw a Porsche SUV today. And I was like, "hm." From me, that's disapproval- a "hm" with one m is, I don't approve. Two ms ("hmm") is "I am intrigued but I'm dropping it for now," and more ms is "let me think." Anyway. I disapproved because... man you spent the money on a Porsche and it was to get an SUV?! Yeah let me just buy the Lamborghini station wagon. Like. What are we doing?! The Porsche 911 is cool! SUVs are not cool! Period! Grrr.

Thank you to Twitter user Jamie (who requested the 911) for sending in resources- we spent this ep staring at supercars.net. I wish we'd had it! We also have a folder for you for the few things at the end that are from other sources.

Scanline Media — Wed, 22 Nov 2023 23:25:37 +0000

Por-shay. I guess. Who caaaaares. The Porsche 911 is one of those "cool" cars. They are called this because they're just cool. And you know? Despite all trends, the 911 just stays cool through all its variants! You'd think the Modern Allcar design would creep in, but Porsche stands firm and it AAAAAA 996

Resources for this on Wikipedia are... bad! Thankfully, after the recording Twitter user Jamie (who requested the 911 to begin with) sent in some better sites to check.

Mechanista in G – M4 Sherman

Scanline Media — Thu, 16 Nov 2023 17:56:07 +0000

This week, another Emrys request as we tackle the backbone of America's armored division in World War II, the M4 Sherman medium tank! Or that's what I thought until I checked the message history, and discovered it was actually a message from Aedan, Emrys's son who guested on our episode back in the day on the Gwazine-class & Friends! So let's talk about the first tank we've ever covered on the show, and the dozen dozen ways they swapped its parts around to try to keep up with the war!

Most of the resources can be readily found on the M4 Sherman page on Wikipedia, and links branching off of it. The ones that can't be, I have included in this folder.

Sometimes it's the variations that salvage the core design. The Geara Zulu is, frankly, a pretty uninspired attempt to work more WWI and WWII German military design into the already pretty German Geara Doga. Frankly, I side-eye anyone who looks at Zeon designs and decides there's not enough stroßtruppen in them. We could actually use LESS Nazi and Prussian imagery, thanks. But here we are.

Pour one out for Lila Milla Rira. Gen Urobuchi sure will.

Mechanista in G – WOX-Type01 Alexander

Scanline Media — Thu, 12 Oct 2023 00:53:41 +0000

The Alexander is an interesting friend. It's a VERY different design from what we usually cover on this show, and even quite different from its peers in Code Geass. If I had to compare it to something, it reminds me of the EMMIs from Metroid Dread? Humanoid-presented robobug, crawlin around all fast. I like both. Though, don't tell Dylan... I like the EMMIs more than the Alexander.

Even on a grunt variety roundup, we can't escape how much missed potential G-Witch has. We're sitting here praying for an art book as we talk about all manner of Witch from Mercury mobile suits, very few of whom are in more than one scene, let alone more than one episode. There are a lot of winners here. There are a lot of weirdos here! But I think they all deserved more love and attention. G-Witch in a nutshell.

Resources for these mobile suits are quite scant, so I am once again providing a Google Drive folder with reference images. I recommend using it in combination with MAHQ's page of G-Witch suits.

I really regret not shouting out my love of these games louder before Volition was cruelly shuttered. FreeSpace 1 and 2 are tense spacefighter Ace Combat, with atmospheric music, harrowing atmosphere, great gameplay, and yes- some pretty darn fun ship designs too. In honor and sadness at the end of Volition, the developers of the series (and several other remarkable series besides), I wanted to talk a bit about these designs with Dylan.

I hope this episode can tempt you to check out these very excellent games, available on GOG and Steam, and enhanced even further with the FreeSpace Open project and the Knossos launcher.

It's not the Gundam Wiki, but the FreeSpace Wiki is plenty thorough enough for our purposes. Check out the list of FreeSpace 1 ships here, and FreeSpace 2 ships here.

It's funny to think about Advance of Zeta, and the Titans Test Team, as an extension of the Titans. It fits surprisingly well- 0083 already shows that the factions within the Federation that would become the Titans are throwing money around like crazy on mobile suit designs that are irrelevant by the time of Zeta. The GM Cannon II, the GM Custom, the whole Gundam Development Project... and of course the GM Quel, which would end up being the Rosetta Stone of the wild world of AoZ designs. But we've already talked about most of them. Let's talk about the Hrairoo.

Transformable mobile suits. Remember when we all thought those were the way of the future? It's probably too harsh to call them a "fad," but they're like... I don't know, like kale.

I think this is our first machine accessible exclusively through a super meter!

Given at least one piece of concept art we saw today, I wonder if there was an intention for Splatoon 3 to be more ambitious, and have a larger scale of conflict than its predecessors. To be honest, it's probably time for a move like that? But that's not why we're here. Today's about YOU, Crab Tank. And you're cool.

I am guessing most of you are here saying "what's Metatron?" Or if you're a pedant like me, "what's Metatron in this context, because this probably isn't LITERALLY a Hebrew myth thing?" Well, sit down for a spell, and let me tell you about Gaia Gear, the Gundam story that time forgot.

Here is a link to a folder of images we reference, some of which aren't on the Gundam Wiki. Some are, but to be honest I just saved em all because I couldn't remember which were and which weren't. Better safe than sorry.

After redoing a lot of FFXIV content with my UI turned off, I am proud to present this episode we've had on ice until I was able to present all the reference material I wanted to. The Sorrow of Werlyt questline in Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers features a bunch of designs and fights inspired by the Weapons of Final Fantasy VII, the mobile suits of Gundam, and more mecha anime besides. Please enjoy our coverage, both vocal and with thorough screenshot references.

Here is a Google Drive folder with screenshots for all these designs, taken by yours truly. Final Fantasy community, if you wanted to do your own documentation in the future so I didn't have to take reasonably hard fights with my UI turned off, that'd be like super sick.

So the Gundam Wiki- hey yeah complaining about the Gundam Wiki again, welcome- the Gundam Wiki says that the Virgo zodiac sign means "Virgin." Wait, I mean that part's just factually true. I placed the emphasis wrong. That's a fact. But then the wiki goes on to say that the Virgo is PROBABLY named such because "it doesn't need a human pilot in order to function." Which is virginal I guess??? No dawg it's called the Virgo cuz that was one of the zodiac signs and they used them all! There are only twelve! Don't be weird about this!

If I have one nice thing to say about the Seed sequel movie they keep threatening us with, it's that I wouldn't mind seeing a successor to the Destiny Gundam. Jobbed in its own show, its pilot mistreated and its purpose abused, like much of the Seed duology the Destiny Gundam is better on paper than in its own work. But you know, paper? Pretty dope.

Truly, the Turn X belongs in that tier of endgame rival suit that just can't be further improved. The Sazabi, the Sinanju, the... dang, there are fewer of these than I thought! Like, no way am I calling the Epyon this, or the Ribbons Gundam, or something. A cool design that I don't think you could make look cooler without fundamentally changing it, and that has every tool it could need? It's those two and the Turn X. I think that's really it.

Mechanista in G – December 2022 Cleanup

Scanline Media — Fri, 23 Dec 2022 04:48:19 +0000

My retail life has made me pretty negative on Christmas, including movies and songs, but maybe I'll watch War in the Pocket this year. This Christmas, we're giving you a stocking stuffer of random units! Zakus, Gundams, Vipers, and AoZ galore! Take care not to overdo it on this over two hour episode- advice that we probably could have used ourselves.

This episode references a lot of images that aren't straight off the Gundam Wiki, so here is a link to a Google Drive folder with all the images.

We were also greatly served this episode by the Hobby Dengeki page for Advance of Zeta Re-Boot, which you can find here. Finally, here is the horrifying video of the Viper Defender transforming.

The Earth Alliance grunts of Seed, Stargazer, and Seed Destiny are here, and though there are definitely some losers in here, there are a surprising number of winners, too. Even when Seed's obsession with putting gundams everywhere takes over, it's actually pretty good!

I'm certainly used to women being mistreated and misused in Gundam, but Ennil stings because it feels like there was no reason this had to happen! I'm not saying the show is great about gender or anything, but it isn't a Tomino show and you can tell! She could have had it all! Well. Not Toniya. The show is definitely too cishet-brained for THAT. But she could have had a lot, and for some reason she just doesn't get it.

Mechanista in G – John Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory

Scanline Media — Wed, 26 Oct 2022 19:00:00 +0000

The Axis Drop. The climax of Char's Counterattack, as a massive asteroid, plucked from the asteroid belt and repurposed into a huge colony, is intentionally hurled towards the Earth. Could we redirect such a thing? Well, there are a lot of problems with such a scenario. For one, it's really better to try way, WAY sooner than they did in that movie. Also Axis had maneuvering thrusters to counteract any counter-counterattack.

BUT. Let's ignore those objections for a moment. If it's just an asteroid headed for the Earth? Noooo problem. We can throw that off course. Why do I know this? Because we DID. It wasn't exactly headed towards us, but the DART program from John Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory demonstrated a month ago today that we can redirect asteroids with a simple probe impact. That's just one APL project, a group with history dating back to the end of World War II. And who better to guide us through their history than current APL employee Space Instrumentation Electrical Engineer Nick Seese.

Yes, THAT Nick Seese. The duality of man, folks.

Drop the A, folks: it's time for 'Mechs not mecha. To be honest, I am real hot and cold on BattleTech: on the one hand, it doesn't do MOST of the things I love about mecha, but on the other, it DOES do things I like about both tanks and ground level sci-fi. Despite this, we're here to talk about the Atlas- a machine that, in my opinion, tries too hard to be a normal mecha, ignoring the strengths of BattleTech design. The skull is fun, though.

I make this argument on the ep, but it is stored in and deploys in mobile armor mode. So that's its primary designation. But it is both of those things. You're not wrong to call it a mobile suit, it's that too. It's just more mobile armor than suit. Kind of. Words are hard.

It is true however that they nailed it in one, and each (major) iteration thereafter is a step down in style.

Have you ever asked yourself: what if the heroes of the Three Kingdoms were reborn as chibi mecha? And they rode motorcycles instead of horses? And they had mid-season upgrade forms, and Sima Yi disguised himself at one point? And also Robocop was there?

Spread your wings and fly, god be with you in your quest. I forgot to shout them out because I'm bad- this episode is a request from SoundJake! If you think about it, aircraft are the mecha of the skies. I mean, if you're using the Japanese definition of mecha, that's literally true, since they use it to encompass all military vehicles basically. So perhaps it's not surprising to see Gundam concepts like the panoramic monitor appear in Ace Combat, but it IS pretty dope.

Mechanista in G – OZ-10VMSX Gundam Aesculapius

Scanline Media — Fri, 05 Aug 2022 06:30:04 +0000

The best thing you can have when designing a mecha is an idea. It doesn't even need to be a good idea! A Gundam with a suit of armor over it that turns it into a Z'Gok? I am going to be blunt. That's a bad idea! But if they try hard enough, a skilled designer can turn a bad idea into some really dope shit. And somehow, the Aesculapius whips.

Thunderbolt's designs are divisive, and the Atlas is no exception. Heck, I went into this episode ready to express my dislike. But a lot of my dislike stems from seeing the design in lower detail, and out of context. In its element, in all its glory? It's really quite something. Even the skis.

Juri Wu Nien is the most like an actual astray. God, even when Seed has a cool idea they eff it up, you know? The Astray SHOULD BE COOL! On paper, it's neat! It's a friend! But you can't look at it without staring through layer after layer of misuse and incompetent writing! A part of me wants a remake of Seed to see if they can do better. But that's a small part, because why bother? It's not like the idea is good enough to salvage. Just make new things.

Then again it's not like we're gonna cure Japan of its Seed love, so maybe we could just make them support a show that isn't complete torture to watch. I'm torn on the matter.

There's an instinct from folks to compare the Z'Gok to a crab, but I don't really think it fits. Its body to claw ratio is all wrong. It doesn't have that fun "put em up" posture. Maybe it's a lobster? Hmm. Unsure. I DO know it's a friend, though.

Hey how do you think they programmed the OS of this thing?

Dylan is sick! We hope it's not serious! Sending you good vibes, and well wishes. I'm sure we'll see you again err long. But for the time being, don't podcast! Podcasting while sick isn't fun. Unless you're like a very particular level of feverish where you're not completely miserable, just loopy? That can be fun. I've done that, it's alright. You do forget where you are though.

So this week, I (Six) am joined by my frequent cohost and collaborator, one of the three pillars of Scanline Media, Kyrie Page! We played a lot of that Gundam Evolution network test a while back, and we have thoughts. Very detailed thoughts.

Of Seed's Gundam Team, I rank them Buster (fav), Aegis (second), Duel (third), and Blitz (last), but the Blitz is the only one I don't like. Imo the biggest thing holding the Duel back is that the show and most MSV-style stuff just... ignores it? It's a great base for some cool addons that never happen. Shame.

It's a bird, it's a plane! It's a bird-shaped plane! It's a rocket that can't fly as gracefully as either of those! It's the Dopp, and it's a friend-shaped mistake of engineering! Aerodynamics be damned, if you have enough thrust you can fly! And then get shot down! Easily and often!

Mechanista in G – The Three Mk-IIIs

Scanline Media — Fri, 15 Apr 2022 22:58:53 +0000

You know how, when- ok. You probably don't know this. Or at least you shouldn't, this is dumb knowledge to have. But. Hideo Kojima made Metal Gear for the MSX, right? And there were ports and stuff. Whatever. When time came to make a sequel, they asked members of the team, sans Kojima, to make a game. And the game they made was Metal Gear 2: Snake's Revenge. Interesting game imo. But THEN those team members went to Kojima (according to Hideo, anyway) and said "it's not the same without you, can we make a proper Metal Gear 2 together?" And that was the birth of Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake.

Anyway I was trying to make a comparison between the Metal Gear 2s and the multiple Gundam Mk-IIIs but I have really lost the thread at this point.

Mechanista in G – Missed Units Cleanup

Well this is our first ever cleanup ep! Sometimes we miss discussing variants on an episode! Often we get a chance to cover them on a related ep- our Zaku II ep doubled as cleanup for the Zaku I, for instance. But we don't always, and a list of ones we should have talked about slowly builds up over time. Let's fix that!

I don't have any idea what people mean when they say "you're a real card." I mean ok I understand the current usage. But like, the etymology BAFFLES me. I could probably google this. Let me google this.

...That didn't help at ALL. All these answers are freakin MADE UP! People are just GUESSING! Ok no one knows. Well. The NRX Sickos are a bunch of jokers. They're real cards. Or something. And their robots are fun to talk about. Whatever.

I know this will show up in the Discord preview. Mono. You did this. I hope you're proud.

So the Dodai is a type of machine in Gundam called a "sub-flight system." Simply put, they're support vehicles that mobile suits ride on. To fly, hence the name. But how on earth do you make a whole episode out of talking about one? You don't. You make an episode out of talking about... ALL of them. From EVERY Gundam show.

I mean it, why aren't there some sick variants of this guy?! This is what I'm talking about. Dylan whines so much that they can only buy six different gunpla of each of the ten thousand machines in Advance of Zeta. Dawg you have NO IDEA what pain is. Pain is liking Wing mecha design.

I like the Strike better than Dylan, but it's pretty much inarguable that the Impulse is just "the Strike but cooler." Its base form is cooler, its extra forms are cooler, it's stronger, its gunpla is more fun to build... idk, gang. The Impulse is legit an all-timer. Sometimes they come from unlikely places.

Yayyyy more GMs! And these GMs? Pretty cool! I mean y'know. They're no Armored GM. But we can't go holding robots to unfair standards, I think we can all agree. Also, mea culpa here! I start out the ep trash talking the capabilities of these machines, but, the GM III is actually a pretty damn impressive robot! I like GMs. I wish Dylan liked GMs.

Or at least didn't like the Baund Doc. Like WORK with me here buddy.

Honestly, after the Woundwort? The Hazel was basically a refreshing jog of an episode. I've become hardened by Mechanista, unflinching in the face of runtime realities. And also appreciating that Dylan was right... Advance of Zeta designs are really quite sick.

There aren't a lot of variants of Turn A mobile suits, but you know what? That's ok. I don't think that's a show crying out for a High Mobility Borjanon or a Kapool Cannon. Turn A's designs stand alone, statements to a goal and aesthetic. And they're good ones.

The Tieren definitely feels like it takes some influence from VOTOMS to me. Like, the headsets and gas masks they wear in the cockpit? And the way those cockpits are talked about being coffin-like? Idk that sounds like a Scopedog to me. God imagine VOTOMS 00. Imagine if VOTOMS had been given the chance to live enough to get more greeble-y modern design. Damn. We could have had it ALL.

An unsung hero overshadowed by the tone of its arc of the anime, the Hamma Hamma is a truly sick robot. It manages to be a successor to the Zaku, the Zeong, the Psycho Gundam, and more, all in one slinky-armed pal. The funny thing is when Mashymre gets new machines, they're all downgrades in comparison. Luv u hamma friend

I like the Zeong, but if you ask me, the arrival of the Qubeley feels like the first TRUE mobile suit designed exclusively for a newtype. Big shoulders, bird-like head, organically flowing yet distinctly unnatural armor, and those funnels... boy. Truly one of the all-time great gundam designs.

This is the gallery of likely fanart that still contains some really sick and quality renders that made us like the Hachicca, among other things. Also that Nahatgall, god damn!

The Super Dias should be cooler than it is, though. I mean it's called the SUPER DIAS! And I know, on the Mk-II ep I was down on the Super Gundam but I was wrong, the Super Gundam is sick.

Zimmad, my friend? You did something right. Forget the Zudah and the Gyan, the great success of Zeonic's development rival lies before us, and it's a hell of a success. I might argue the Dom is cooler than the Zaku. I would certainly argue that some of these variants are cooler than the Zaku's variants. But you know what? This is a nearly four hour episode, I think you probably don't need to hear me talk anymore =P

Unfortunately, despite the term being used very differently here, I don't get to add a new type of unit covered to our list. We have technically covered things called "mobile workers" before. But these pals? These dime-store Tachikomas? They ain't like that. Y'know what's really funny is that these things are a tossed-off handful of designs in IBO, but this sort of design is basically the foundation of Eighty-Six. Makes you think.

mannnnn the Gerbera Tetra Kai is so COOL. Hajime Katoki saved this one. Look I do on the show play up being a Katoki fan because it's funny the way Dylan gets mad when I defend some of Katoki's more questionable design choices, but he does hit a lot of winners. Ver Kas are popular for a reason. And when he gets his hands on a variant of Cima's sick speedster, he really turns on the gas. Or something. I feel like that metaphor got away from me.

Mechanista in G – CB-0000G/C Reborns Gundam

Scanline Media — Thu, 28 Oct 2021 05:34:20 +0000

There is in fact such a thing as too much. Or, maybe there isn't. Maybe there's only a point where the excess ceases to be well-managed. Somewhere along the line of this mobile suit's lineage, the design takes a bad step, and never fully recovers. I mean, I say "somewhere," but it's not like a secret. It's with the Reborns Gundam Origin. Everything thereafter is a mess. It's a shame, I do like the idea.

you can't fool my eyes! gundam!

Then we get to talk about a pretty interesting G-UNIT design that is a tribute to... wait, the Big Zam?!

And who can't appreciate the Guntank, an ill-conceived machine that probably shouldn't exist. But the Guncannon? It's the middle child, forgotten and neglected. Well, I think it's great.

It's the best mobile suit, Charlie Brown! The weakest part of the mobile suit is of course the pilot. Now, a DUMB designer would try to accommodate this by making the machine protect the pilot, give it safety features, maybe try to assist them in the task of piloting. But we ain't about that. Let's talk about a GOOD designer, or rather six of them (don't forget Howard!), who instead decided to make a machine that the pilot either learns to be less weak or freakin' dies. Hell yeah, Tallgeese. Hell yeah.

I hope we don't roll Victory too many times in a row, because I really savor getting to use Victory suits as a palette cleanser. Delightful designs that buck a lot of Gundam's codified rules about mobile suits. Like the Zoloat! Sick eyes, cool shield that's also a rotor, very different body/backpack relationship (in that they're basically one), and some cool variants too. More Victory gunpla please!

Mechanista in G – Zakrello

Scanline Media — Fri, 17 Sep 2021 05:16:03 +0000

So ok, weird personal story time. When I'm at work (I work retail), there's a lot of pushing vehicles loaded with boxes. Often you can't see where you're going. And so there are a lot of times where you realize there's this vehicle loaded with shit that's on a collision course with you, and you can't dodge, but the person pushing it can't see you. So I developed this weirdly deep "AHHHH" yell that sounds like a goat pretending to be a person to alert them.

See my logic is, it's a weird enough yell that you know no one is in pain or in like big trouble, but it still gets your attention. And you're like "ah ok there must be someone in the way." And I've gotten weird looks but no one has hit me with a vehicle since I started using it. Anyway this is all to say that's the sound I associate with the Zakrello's funny open mouth. It's doing a weird goat-pretending-to-be-a-person AHHHH.

Around here, we hate the ReGZ. Cheap pretend Gundam, crap machine. But the ReZEL? Welllll, now you might have somethin' on your hands. Colors are better. Transformation's better. Good weapons, some good optional attachments. But mostly, it just isn't the ReGZ. Cuz boy that thing sucks.

Well now, it sure seems like the dice like Gundam X, don't they? We're joined by seasoned podcaster and all-around pal Allen Ibrahim to talk about the Gundams of the Freeden's favorite freelancers, Witz and Roabea. And... listen. Ishigaki's only human. He designed a LOT of Gundams, and you know... they can't all be winners. Now, Comic BonBon? They NEVER tired. And they never make winners, either.

It's Gundam Seven Swords! I remember when I was a kid reading PC Gamer, there was an ad for Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb. It had Indy punching the... screen? page? with the text "your revolver holds six bullets, but YOUR FISTS never run out of ammo." You know what else doesn't run out of ammo? Blades! That's what makes the Exia our sustained combat specialist of the 00 Gundam Team. Plus? Lotta variants. That's nice.

Well, this is embarrassing. I actually spent this whole podcast thinking about Crota, the raid boss from the first DLC from Destiny 1. Shoutouts to the SRA and their burly fast spaceboy! The Crouda is a really cool unit, a heavily armored yet agile grunt that gets a pretty good showing in X. Or at least, until everyone learns its Death Star-esque weak point. That ain't great.

An overpowered disaster robot on this episode of Mechanista.

Mechanista in G – XMA-01 Rafflesia

Scanline Media — Wed, 24 Mar 2021 18:00:00 +0000

The story can now be told. Long ago, in the early days of Mechanista in G, we rolled. And we rolled the XMA-01 Rafflesia, from Mobile Suit Gundam F91. We talked for a good half hour. And then we discovered that my (Six's) Audacity... wasn't picking up my microphone. My half of the conversation was just gone. Now, Dylan is the one that brings all the knowledge anyway, but without a cohost to bounce off of? That isn't a releasable podcast. We rerolled. We talked about something else that week.

Then, a few weeks later... we rolled the Rafflesia again. And we said NO. We can't. We can't! We can't do this again. The conversation is too fresh in our minds, and besides, it's cursed. We rerolled. And for a time, there was peace. And then. A few months later. We rolled the Rafflesia again.

This time, it recorded just fine. The track was pristine. But I (Six) had a cunning plan. We'd recorded 3 episodes that day, a feat we haven't accomplished before or since. And we'd done so with the intention of putting one on ice, to post while I was in the hospital for a major surgery. And wouldn't it be FUNNY if the one we put on ice was the cursed ep we'd already lost once?

So here we are. Please enjoy, at long last, a discussion about the XMA-01 Rafflesia. Truly, our egos were expanded to bring you this episode.

Yooooo. YOOOOO. It's nice to talk about, like, important robots. We all agree. The Zaku, the foundation of mobile suit design. The RX-78-2, a massive leap forward in the field. The Shokew, a vision of the future of mobile suits. So many remarkable, important designs.

But.

What if we just talked about DeviantArt OC robots that weren't relevant at all but were just sick as hell?! It's Blue Destiny time baby.

We're doin' this one for Sarah. Or something. Remember Sarah? Anyway. It's fascinating to watch how the Titans, starting out making Zeon-style mobile suits with some Federation-style flourishes, quickly abandon any attempt to pretend at Federation design when the pressure is on. Nothing better displays this than the Marasai: the successor to the Hizack that has no Federation aesthetic whatsoever.

There are a whole lot of Astrays, gang. And each one has a lot of variants. But here's the good news: they're pretty cool! The dice have demanded we start with the Gold Frame, a suit that as it sees iteration and improvement moves from an all-around combat suit to being an overpowering melee and stealth juggernaut.

This is our solution to the G problem: we're just gonna roll two suits at a time! If you ask me, Chibodee's Gundam is alright, for a G design, but I just can't seem to convince Dylan of that. Fortunately we can both appreciate the Death Army, a cyclopean grunt suit with alternate forms both rad and ridiculous.

Ah, the Crossbone Vanguard. I can't say I agree with all their choices, but they have pretty good design sense. Or pretty extra design sense? Sometimes I mix the two up. The Vigna-Ghina's backpack unit is sick, but did you know about all these variants? Also how did a robot from one of the least popular Gundam things get so many variants?

So why not... the BEST Victory robot? I hope Dylan doesn't read this (or Billy for that matter) because I don't think they'll be onboard with this hot take but if you count the Godzorla in with the Shokew, the Shokew is the best Victory suit.

Symmetry be damned, let's talk about the Astaroth. Maybe all you know about is the blue and white asymmetry of the base Astaroth, but DID YOU KNOW it's actually got two other forms? There's the Astaroth Origin, its original loadout, which is certainly more elegant, but lacks that oomph of the main Astaroth's scrappy loadout. Then there's it's mid-season (is it still a season if it's a manga?) upgrade... wait is it an upgrade? Hmmm. This description was harder to write than I expected.

Char is fighting for our prayers. And if his soldiers had been given better machines, maybe our prayers would have been answered.

Mechanista in G – MSN-06 Sazabi

If only we'd managed to drop that asteroid. Char is fighting for our prayers, but maybe he's just not quite fighting hard enough. Don't blame it on the Sazabi, though: this big red pal is a dream come true. The Nightingale... I'm less sold on.

Been waiting for the dice to give us this one. The original big green guy, it's the Zaku! And you KNOW Dylan's excited, because there are soooo many variants to talk about. So many, in fact, that we end up having to save some for a future episode! Very happy to talk about one of the best, most iconic robot designs ever.

Scanline Media — Thu, 29 Oct 2020 06:53:09 +0000

Saved by the Ver Ka! Or the EW, as it's called in the case of Wing because the naming conventions of these things are a nightmare. You ever play that minigame in Mario Party 6 (or watch Giant Bomb play it I suppose) where there's a balloon and you have to say "BIGGER" to make it grow? I think that's what happened between Treize and Epyon's beam saber. Plus, conversation about the Aquarius, the Epyon Bai, Doctor Wufei, and so much more.

Congratulations to the Great Gundam Project for finishing Gundam Wing! It ends kinda rough, it's true. But you know what's even more rough?

What is after war? Well, apparently, more war. I can't imagine why else you'd need a machine like the Gundam Double X, which is probably the most raw destructive power I've ever seen in a mobile suit. It has basically funnels that are entire mobile suits?! Yo, what is up with this show. It seems wild.

It's Victory grunt hour! The GM's design legacy lasts well into the very late Universal Century, when the Federation is STILL riding on the design ideas of Tem Ray. The Heavygun and the Jamesgun are honestly not too exciting, nor are their variants. But the Javelin? That's a machine I can get behind. Shot Lancers own.

Please make a Hizack RG. I'm BEGGING you. Though we rolled the Hobby Hizack from Char's Counterattack, we quickly realize that the regular Hizack isn't on our list, so we can talk about all the versions of this Federation/Zeon hybrid mobile suit. Plus, it's another opportunity for Dylan to talk about an Advance of Zeta design, so THEY'RE happy. And it's a really sick design that Six has never seen before, so THEY'RE happy!

Mechanista in G – ZMT-S33S Gottrlatan

Scanline Media — Wed, 07 Oct 2020 21:55:33 +0000

Let's make a bug friend! Our first run-in with the designs of Victory Gundam presents us with one of the greatest creations of Zanscare's BESPA mobile suit engineers. In a series of weird weapons, the Gottrlatan, or just Gottr for short, is a fairly conservative design. This despite it having a head-mounted beam antenna, beam tonfa on each wrist, and a huge Eff You beam cannon mounted on its back. Victory designs are good, is the thing.

Mechanista in G – RGM-89 Jegan

Scanline Media — Thu, 01 Oct 2020 04:53:24 +0000

What if a mobile suit was a Gundam, but also a cop? Hmmm. Sorry, I guess that doesn't narrow it down. Ok, and ALSO a total chump. No? Still don't know? Well, it's the Jegan. One of the many children of the GM project, the Jegan and its many variations are a classic example of how over time, optimization strips the excitement out of design. It's not a bad robot, by any means. But it's definitely not exciting either, unless you get really worked up about mobile suits with hand grenades.

The dice ever demands a consistent narrative from this podcast. From the ashes of a botched recording, my d20 insists on a sequel to last week. The Wing Gundam Zero, commonly referred to as Wing Zero or just "Zero," is a machine that casts a large shadow over the After Colony timeline, and even mobile suit design in the timelines to come. Plus, with three variants, the Wing Zero is just a COOL ROBOT.

SPOILER WARNING: This episode is not safe for anyone listening along with the Great Gundam Project! We are covering Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans!

Sometimes it feels like grunts are where mobile suit artists can really flex their talents. The Graze is a fantastic design: modular, striking, assertive, and crisp. There are numerous interesting variants, including one that's a war crime! It has elements that are a tribute to previous grunts, and walks a line between human and inhuman with elegance. Very glad to have a chance to talk about it.
