Around 140 pages, covers the what-would-be first half of the eventual 14th volume of FSS. These are all from Newtype Magazine, starting from March 2016 to the most recent November issue. Scans are courtesy of various Japanese anons. From the way it looks the Majestic Stand is far from over.

>>14819070
And yes, these scans are much higher quality than the ones on Baidu and Gears, and include chapters neither have even scanned.

>>14819070
I love you so much. What's your favorite design so far?

There's significantly a lot more GTM artwork in this volume. Also feels like he has a better understanding of how the mechanics to them work. I really like this bunker thing.

Some of these answers are interesting. Can only make out a few though. MHs are actually acknowledged as existing, though.

>>14819261
Look like the old Mirage Knights outfits.
Anyone know what army these guys belong to in Pre-GTM terms?

The new Ashura Temple is nice. The Gothicmades are good designs but of course most people hate them because they retconned the obviously superior Mortar Headds. If Nagano made them for Dark Souls or Final Fantasy nobody would complain.
>>14819822
All I did was just take images from another source, nowhere near the amount of work compared to others like Archive, who does his own scans, and nobody ever thanks him either. It's just board culture.
>>14819890
Yes. You can find everything in Archive's blog. Not like they're going to be translated anytime soon.

Ayup. The details are different, but they all have the same general body shape and proportions. Mortar Headds on the other hand have a large variety of silhouettes.

I can kind of agree with them being samey, but a lot of that is because there really aren't that many of them yet. Mortar Headds have had 25 years to blossom and Gothicmades haven't even existed for 5. Only now do we finally see a bulky GTM in the form of the Ashura Temple.
As for joints, I like them, much in the same way I like the Fafner designs. But as a whole these are much, much better and more interesting than the Fafner designs. They don't really feel like they belong in FSS though, nevermind replacing the old designs.

Not quite. Mortar Headds have a lot of different body types and frames. They share similar design features but proportions wildly fluctuate. It's very easy to distinguish one nation's Mortar Headds from another, the new GTMs for the most part look like they belong in the same faction.
So far I can't really identify any singular aspect of these new designs that ties them to a nation. other than their faction symbols.

Majestic Stand gave us the Siren A and E, two of the bulkiest MH ever drawn. Mighty Beta was also fairly bulky.
>>
>>14821337
Really? I'd say the whole series of pic related are pretty obviously part of the same line.
Things like the blue armors and other mass produced MHs/GTMs don't belong to a single nation.

Then you have unique one of a kind machines like Kaiserin and Christine V's GTMs.
The MK III is also obviously part of the same line as the Bangdoll and it seems like multiple nations might have them. Also the KAN will also be given to other nations like the AKD.
>>
>>14821391
One last thing, I'm not saying the GTMs are perfect or anything -- in fact, there are a fair number of problems comparing the first few designs to the newer ones. The Bringer/LED series have been completely outdone in terms of being striking and eye catching. The LED Mirage is the only one I genuinely dislike, though. It looks like it'll fall over and the dragon veil things look ridiculous. The earrings are a nice touch and I'm hoping he revises the design a bit to make it look a bit bulkier like some of the newer designs.
I also want to see the Blood Temple and Gods Knights get some attention. All we've seen is one black dude with a feminine face job like mad.
And if they still exist -- a flashback to a Horned Mirage being used.
Pic related is what's carrying the disguised KOG. Hope we get to see it soon.

I've been pondering for a while about the GTM vs. MH issue, and while I prefer the mortar headds, I started thinking that the gothicmades fit the aesthetics of the manga better. The characters are always thin and slim, I guess the mechs getting the same traits isn't a completely bad thing.

The problem with the new designs is that most of them don't have any kind of thematic cohesiveness or "motif" to them. What made the Mortar Headds stand out from one another was the clear motif each one had. A lot of MH in the same nation shared aspects with one another: all of Hathuha's MH had mononeyes, Fillmore MH had their shoulder spikes, AKD MH had their horns. Not all of them had it, but those who did have these traits very clearly belonged to a certain nation. Nations aside, every MH had its own unique motif. Like Vatshu and its Samurai armor, LED with its crusader vibes, Bang Doll and its Church armor, Yen-Xing with its crazy ancient Chinese, etc. All of this is important because Mortar Headds are considered objects of individual and national power- every aspect of their design is meant to have artistic merit representative of who their owners are. Even grunts like Devoncha, which is owned by many nations, had their own customization unique to their pilots. This is nonexistent in most of the Gothicmades because almost none of them have any sort of motif. Some of them just look like the same frame wearing an old MH armor over itself, like your A-toll GTM.
It's funny that you mention the new LED because I actually think it's one of the better GTMs, because it clearly conveys the "bridesmaid" imagery, which matches with the new KOG's wedding dress and veil design. It's not the same as the original motifs, but its stands out on its own and as a representation of Sopp, Lachesis, and the AKD. The new Black Knight is neat as well, its design is based on the stone golems you would see warding off evil spirits on top of a Japanese temple. Unfortunately, the majority of them are just the same mishmash of spikes and clear armor and the same skeleton, with out any of the Earth-inspired elements of the original MH. Which is fine, but the representation of these elements was what made FSS so unique. The GTMs are aliens.

Mind you, as individual designs, I've got nothing against the Gothicmades. I like them the same way I like Nagano's Brain Powered and Schell Bullet designs. They just don't work in the context of FSS, and certainly not as replacement designs.

And? What other knightly elements does it have like the original that made it stand out? Fillmore as a nation is clearly influenced by European aesthetics, like the Swiss guard uniforms on all the Headdliners. Just slapping spikes on its arms isn't enough to give it its own identity. Siren F doesn't have any spikes and you can tell that it's a Fillmore MH just from a glance.
>Pretty sure they still do?
Nope. Pic related. Probably one of the worst GTM designs because in spite of all the detail it has going for it, it doesn't convey any motif that makes it memorable or stand out. Same with the new Cross Mirage.

The new A-Toll Scritti as well, how does this thing make it obvious that it's a reconnaissance MH at all now? The huge monoeye (among other aspects) was the definitive symbol of its design and without it, it just becomes a collection of cool shapes and no substance.

Stop being stupid. The proportions and details are all different. And even when they share similar features you can easily tell them apart. Unlike the Gothicmade scarecrows.
Do you honestly actually believe the GTM shit is better than the MH? Serious question here.
