Are prototypes always more performant than mass-produced models?
It's a trend at this point with Gundam to pull that trope.
RX-78 to GM
Gundam Mark II to Barzam
F91 actually had Mass production types that were as good as the original
Strike Gundam to Strike Daggers
Intresting enough, in the Novelization of the original 1979 gundam series, the original gundam was actually outclassed in every way to the GM series. They eventually refined the Gundam design to make the G-3 Gundams which in that setting was being also put into mass production for potential newtypes.

Prototypes have more money pumped into their development than the mass produced model, they're supposed to impress investors, it's my Metal Gear Rex (with a little bit of retconning) can utterly curbstomp the supposed anti MG weapon that is Ray.
>>14477858
Barzam's not all bad

how do you feel about the full bullet zaku
that can destroy a full armor gundam
>>14477533
I really like hip guns. I know it's kind of overdone, but they look way better than back or shoulder mounted guns.

This is actually a pretty damn good episode, and I even have some tasty webms, but they're a little bit too big for 4chan.

Hell yeah!
Is the ADV dub of Macross any good? I guess I'm talking about Minmei's performance, since I've seen clips of Hikaru's squad and they're awful.

Yes

He remind me of Ed from FMA

It is terrible. The director had Mari Iijima dial up her accent to 11 and we ended up with "Me rove you rong time, Hikalu."

Try being specific, especially about your materials and process. Post pictures whenever possible; even if the kit/part looks bad, you are more likely to get help posting pictures.

He couldn't. There was damage to the Gundam's control systems.

Zeon wank
Hush.
Common sense has no place in Thunderbolt.
as usual, the week's Dougram, Dagwon, and Voltes starts at 1p Eastern (about an hour and a half from this post)
tamia tv mog-3 if you're interested, it'll be going all week as usual
in Dougram they're starting to try to unify the various rebel groups into a single thing with the help of a guy with a scarf and an eyepatch
in Dagwon a new character that doesn't have a boring non-threatening guy attached to him showed up last week, something may happen this week
in Voltes Dr Armstrong (guy who built Voltes) may or may not have been captured or recruited by the Bozaliens to do something

I was just thinking we should have a Fine OP. Have we ever before?

She has been in a few pics here and there but I don't recall her begin the 'theme' of the thread.We should do a Noise one some day.

Silver linning is at least his other works will gain some attention after all these years.
I just got finished watching Thunderbirds Are Go. They do the whole suit up and launch thing every episode, so I've got that sort of stuff on the mind.
What's everyone's favorite /m/ launch?
>>14474339
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1RAmSgk05A
It was so cool, they began the OP with it.
Would have been even cooler if it wasn't stock footage in every other episode.
>>14474364
Who's credited for the various cuts in the Fighbird OP? Which ones are directly by Obari or his peers?
>>14474339
The whole practice of the launch sequence is actually taken directly from Anderson's shows; just look at Mazinger Z onwards.
Why does the Zaku 2 have exposed pipes but the Zaku 1 doesn't? Wouldn't it make more sense for the Zaku 1 to have more design flaws like exposed piping, and rectify that with the Zaku 2?
>>14474103
It wasn't a flaw though, it was a way to transfer even more power to where it needed to go.
>>14474113
But they are still exposed to enemy fire, would that not make it a design flaw?
Simply it instills fear in the feddie scum by creating a Visage of terror.
Reminder that although Sayaka Yumi is regulated to the role of sidekick, she's been piloting giant robots longer than anybody else in the entire history of the medium. She was piloting Aphrodite A before Koji even stepped into Mazinger's cockpit. In fact, in both the original anime and manga, she literally taught Koji everything he knows about piloting. Because of that, I think it's really unfortunate that she's mostly just shit on in the actual shows she's in. Although SRW games give her shit piloting stats, I like to think she's a good pilot that's held back by a badly built robot and not being the protagonist.
So yeah, Mazinger/Sayaka thread I guess.

>I got a new robot with a beam attack that's actually useful for something? Better not use it in situations where it might help
I'm not the biggest fan of Mazinkaiser SKL but one of the things I really liked about it was the female support robot managed to be a badass for a change.
What exactly is this character design? She's a hippy, but she's also an officer in the space navy?
The space navy said they'd pay for her college.
