He's driving bike combat vehicles and they're kicking ass, something that had become uncommon up until then. It's as simple as that.

The Kou, Ohtu, and Galicson could stand up to MS, and what's more, excel against them. A good feat.

How does this not make sense in context? Serious question.

>>14305144
Spaceship + Wheels = Power

AND WE AT..oh wait, is this a legit question?

It starts to contradict itself when it starts trying to tie the three very different shows together

>that it's an adequate compilation of the shows
Absolutely not

It starts out as a not bad for its time adaptation of Macross but it really drops the ball and becomes a clusterfuck once it tries to tie in Southern Cross and Mospeada. Carl Macek was many things but a good sci-fi writer was not one of them. I'd only recommend it if you really, REALLY want to watch a dubbed version of Macross but don't want to hear Vic Mignogna yell senpai or Mari Iijima put on a thick accent.

If you want a version of the story with half decent writing, check out the novels. They were written by some of the better Star Wars book writers.

By and large Robotech works as its own thing well. Not as an adaptation, but perhaps as an AU. There are a few obvious weird shifts in geogeaphy and tech, but nothing possible to accept if you know what Robotech is. I still rather like it, but it can't be watched in place of Macross. The books were great though. Those kinks are largely ironed out, and the planned sequel went to completion over the course of 6 extra books.

The glitch that lets you take space armor on ground missions is great. Fun versus mode too, nice animation style as well. Party Crashers best mission.

I believe both sides were using nuclear weapons, but Zeon intentionally targeted colonies and sides because the colonies were a source of manpower for the EF and in some cases had garrisons or were forward bases for the EFF. In any case, the Antarctic treaty was signed between Zeon and EF to prohibit the use of nuclear weapons and colony drops, because the EF has a massive nuclear weapon stockpile and Zeon with space fleet supremacy could toss colonies down at earth.

It's worth noting that the original planning notes for the show indicated that although Zeon was largely responsible for starting the war and targeting population centres resulting in half of humanity perishing, both the EF and Zeon apparently used such weapons.

>After the Battle of Loum, Zeon and the Federation, horrified by their own power, concluded a treaty prohibiting the use of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons. This was the Antarctic Treaty.

>Three Day Battle: Roughly 40 colonies of Sides 1, 2, and 4 are destroyed in a three-day period, resulting in the deaths of 3 billion people. Zeon employs a strategy of crashing roughly 40 colonies onto the Earth, and nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons are widely used.

>Battle of Loum: This conflict between Zeon and the Federation takes place at Side 5, or Loum, hence the name. Most of the colonies of Sides 2 and 5 are crashed onto the Earth, and 3.5 billion people are killed. Nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons are widely used.

The wording suggests both sides used such weapons. That said, the setting notes for the original show are now obsolete and have been retconned by various new sources of information. It's just interesting to note that Tomino and other staff on the show had more or less intended the backstory to be like this in the beginning, though.

In before Black Knight's revisionist theories.

>>14302713
Ah, thank you for the well spoken Answer. So your saying in the previous material that both sides had been said to employee such, but it was reconnected to be more zeon centralized?

I had always thought after Zeon finished gassing a colony, the Federation would lob a nuclear warhead into the colonies engine or docking hatch to render the colony unuseable for a colony drop, save for the one Kycillias fleet managed to drop on Sydney.

The original series, it always seemed like both sides were equally responsible for the death toll.

Mandatory Woundwort

At this point, anything. We're down to three retail MGs and theyre just more SEED and OYW.

Not gonna lie, when I heard that the ship in Gundam AGE would transform, I figured it would be full on Macross style transformation, and... not what we got.

Shame, huh?

It's very bland and un-mechanical. Flat, thin and not memorable. It's cardboard suit. But I really, really like the new face plate.

It seems like even Iron Man is not immune to the flat, simple everything bullshit that's sweeping UI now.

English PV when?

Is there any point to this show? As far as I know, the girls are just high school lolis who play tank games as a past time. There's no urgency to the plot, and nothing happens. They might as well play baseball.

>>14312244

Because tank battles are exciting to watch and provide a better alternative to mind-numbing baseball drivel.

Also there's plenty enough urgency, at least in the actual tourney itself, because it turns they're kind of sort of fighting to keep their school running.

I think having your hometown literally destroyed is quite an urgent issue.

>They might as well play baseball.

Baseball players can't throw 75mm shells at many times the speed of sound.

Oh boy. Fuck yeah.

Wow. Nice.

Pretty mediocre.

>do you you think we might actually end up getting a non-online Gundam game on PC ?

Ahahahahahahahaha

More likely DW9 since it's the 20th anniversary.

>>14311201
and i think the last dw:g flopped hard because digital only so not many people knew it existed so the odds of getting another one is slim and the odds of getting it in english is even slimmer

Reminder to keep an eye out for white guy TE spoiler faggot at the event
