#Gundam Vidar

[anotherb1rd]

Here’s some cool art by Ippei Gyoubu, a very cool mechanical designer for Gundam, among other things.

I am now going to talk about it. (There will be spoilers for Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans)

Gaelio did everything he possibly could to save Ein, going beyond human biology. Eventually, Ein is left as part of Gundam Vidar. He is there, but not human anymore, as represented by being in shadow.

After this is done, Gaelio swears to take revenge on those who left Ein this way, even adopting the name Vidar (Norse god of vengeance, according to minimal internet searching). (Also interesting to note that Vidar is named after a god while all other Gundam frames are named after demons)

It is also stated in the show that he spends ALL of his free time maintaining and tuning his mobile suit. Clearly he truly cares about this thing that everyone else only knows to be a soulless machine.

When Gaelio fights, he states that he and Ein are perfectly in sync. Sharing the same name, they ARE one being.

But Ein is not human anymore. He never truly will be again. Gaelio can not be with him, thus the physical separation in the artwork and Ein being in shadow. The only way they can be connected is through this Gundam.

I occasionally come back to the fact Gundam Vidar of all mobile suits is the one to get the Iron-Blooded Orphans iteration of original Rx-78-2's gun. Like, it's not a beam weapon or anything but that's clearly what it's supposed to be evoking.

And it feels as if that should be significant in some way but I can't think of a reading on it beyond mere mythology gag. It's just there, on the strike-breaking machine, fired once and never coming up again.

Weekly Yuru-tetsu~ Mecha extravaganza edition Gaelio: I don't understand. You're riding in the same mobile suit as the one in which Carta Issue proclaimed her love for you. This feeling... Isurugi: Is this romance talk, brigadier general? McG: No it's NOT, Isurugi.

Chad: I'll lure in the mobile armor! *WOOSH* GOO! *BONK* *swirl swirl swirl* *Grab* the shidens: Yayy Laser beam: wiiuuummm Chad: Waaahh!!!

I draw a pen doodle every day until I forget

Day 353: ASW-G-XX Gundam Vidar (Mobile Suit Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans)

I think of the Gundam frames that I know of from IBO, this is my favorite. It has the best color scheme of the on-screen gundams, and it’s weapons look pretty reasonable to hold.

Every 1/144 model kit that I have with a giant weapon makes the kit topple over or arms fall apart. The Barbatos cannot hold it’s giant mace thing in anything other than leaning it against the ground. The Gundam Seltsam has the same problem. And I appreciate that this guy only has a few moderately huge weapons.

I guess what I’m saying is that this is the only Gundam model kit I want from IBO.

Some new pictures of MG Vidar from a recent event have gone up at Gundam Info. Glad to see they have overcome the vital engineering challenge of 'letting it high-kick', which as we know is essential to accurately replicating this particular mobile suit.

We should slut-shame Char and his clones more.

Oh, nice job @average-transdalorian! Hmm. I bet Vidar could take the God Gundam's colour layout quite well too...

I made Gundam Vidar but if Gaelio’s “main character syndrome” was even more obvious in GB4

First off, that premise is hilarious. I opened this ask and had to try not to burst out laughing just from reading it. Gaelio, my favorite buffoon who has no idea what genre he’s in or what role he’s playing.

That looks really cool! The classic RX-78 colors work really well on Vidar, I wonder how well they’d work on other Gundams from IBO. Something about this color scheme really highlights how weird a lot of the feet for the IBO mechs are though. Not a bad thing about your variant, just an observation on the base.

I’ve been meaning to hop into GB4 for a while now, I’m dying to kitbash mechs for my OCs. If only I could find the time lol, that’s the real problem

[grinkening]
