"It's just occurred to me just how much crossover there is between Gundam and Type Moon fans. Like a surprising amount. Funny that." - by WeedDigimon

The funny thing is they hadn't even seen the reveal of Miorine's Saberface-having ex-groom when they made this statement. 🤣

listen. I’m aware I’m venturing into a dangerous territory of being sincere about a sillyass toxic space prince war criminal but. listen. something about the existence of “Char clones” as a trope makes me absolutely insane conceptually. like that combined with the dark history stuff from turn A (which I admittedly need to learn more about) is just like. aauuughhh.

what do you MEAN in every universe there will always be some flashy hotshot making the same mistakes. and they always have no idea someone’s done it all before. what do you MEAN it is the same story repeating. that of course this story is still trapped in orbit around the sun because THAT’S WHAT COMETS DO!! what do you mean by this. get me to whatever far flung gundam timeline we haven’t discovered yet and show me the next smug little bright spark who thinks he’s the first guy ever to put on sunglasses and wear red. does he even know. look at him, he has no idea. nobody has ever been doomed by the narrative quite like the abstract concept of some ace pilot with a mask.

apropos of nothing, it'd be funny to imagine that the two (or perhaps 3) main jumping off points for G-Witch's Ad Stella timeline versus the Universal Century timeline after watching Gundam Unicorn is that:

Spacenoid/Spacian rights were ratified at the start of the new calendar

Which leads to expansion to space and all major capital moving there (which leads to spacian domination due to ownership of excess resources and the current status quo of corporate feudalism)

"Permet" as it's known in Ad Stella is actually Universal Century's "Psychoframe" tech discovered and implemented earlier; with the logical conclusion of no natural Newtypes present at that point of time leading to the creation of the GUND-Format and the Enhanced Humans (aka Cyber-Newtypes) to take advantage of it; Eri is very likely the first Actual Newtype of Ad Stella (circa G-Witch plot), but her young age and the harshness of space would prove too much for her

all that to say is:

Should G-Witch and Universal Century have a crossover, all the Permet abilities will more or less still work against Psychoframe tech and might even advance to the even more esoteric stuff related to Psychoframes given enough time

The UC tech pre-psychoframe stuff would be "museum pieces" like the NTDS used in the last few episodes, since they would lack Permet/Psychoframes to operate and subsume

just some silly thoughts in regards to AU timelines and how they might intersect with UC :)

Finally took some nice pictures of my RG Hi-Nu Gundam :)

This kit is special to me because it's the last gunpla I finished before my kiddo was born. I actually wrapped it up over a year ago but I haven't had the time/energy/drive to take DSLR pictures of it til now.

The paintjob is based on an old Moon Gundam commission I did back in 2020 and the Unicorn Gundam. The pink/red accents are meant to invoke the Unicorn's psychoframe :) I used grey in place of blue on this because I wanted to use the polygonal decals that the RG line uses but since some of those decals are white I had to make my color choices based on that.

Overall very happy with this little guy. The kit itself is wonderful and this paintjob is really striking, if'n you ask me. I have the HMBL for this too and that parts are all prepped, they just need to be painted. Dunno when I'll get around to that but it'll probably be before the year is out.

I’m a tourist to all of this but I offer Psychoframe themed Sabretooth

I LOVE Amuro and Char, man, Char really out here leaking the Psychoframe on purpose so they use it on the Nu Gundam so he and Amuro can have a final climatic dramatic romantic showdown, but Amuro doesn’t indulge any of this theater kid shit and just fucking goes for the jugular immediately.

And Amuro isn’t like a frothing-at-the-mouth kinda guy either, he’s a chill dude, and when he sees Char, he’s like “Oh ok, hey kids, change of plan, give me a bit”, frowns juuuust a little and starts fucking mauling him.

[shin-meddlesome-hero]

So if i understand correctly, "Gundam ALC Encounter" is about Lalah Sune reincarnating into a lesbian tiktoker who can control replicas of the Sazabi and Nu Gundam with a psychoframe, while Amuro and Char beat each other up in a shopping mall (as they should).

MG RX-93 νGundam (Version 1.0)

I built the original version because I don't like the opening Psychoframe gimmick on the Ver Ka. It's not the Unicorn, it's the Nu! It only has Psychoframe around the cockpit! I also prefer the proportions and design on the older version.

As usual, I painted this one by hand, but I used a different method. I was also able to hand paint the primer and matte top coat, so now I'm finally free 100% from aerosolized paints and should be able to paint more models going forward.

Part of my Extended Steven Universe Gundam AU, Commander Ercole Visconti. He’s still an asshat but knows not to mess with Alberto too much. His family joined up with the Earth Federation early on to receive the modified human protocol surgery, the changes greatly slowing down their natural lifespans thanks to the alien tech. In charge of the facility and safeguarding “Project: Typhon”, having been the test pilot of Gundam Fenrir. Prefers to pilot a Baryon Custom for its versatility and lack of Psychoframe complications, having sustained critical injuries before it was decided to lock away Gundam Fenrir in storage. He's changed much from the 16 year old bully that he was back in Portorosso, but don't expect him to cozy up to you unless you're a certain Alberto Scorfano. Even if everyone's a modified human around the base, he's still going to act like he's above it all because he didn't have to pay for it. Surprisingly proficient at mobile suit combat, he helps train the recruits to prepare to fend off the Mobile Armors that make landfall on Earth every few days or so. When he's not doing that, you might find him cursing the higherups under his breath about 'fighting pointless proxy wars".

Finished my fifth Gunpla kit - MG RX-9 Narrative Gundam C-Packs Ver. Ka

This kit is simply marvellous. Had lots of fun assembling and decorating it. Really liked making scratched silver deactivated psychoframe and armor weathering.

Feel free to comment!

// ooooh that gives it an idea for the unicorn's colour scheme...... black and gold. with holographic rainbow psychoframe. yes..... yeeees..... >:]

thinking about the tech world building in gwitch in comparison to the other Gundam series...

we're never really shown any MS using projectile weapons apart from the Dawn of Fold's attack in Ep12, where it's briefly mentioned that physical ammo is banned due to environmental concerns (a good chuckle considering the corporate feudalism setting), as well as the skirmish in Ep15 where the DoF barely did harm against the Benerit MS unless it was with melee weapons

(this sort of calls back to Gundam IBO's grittier setting where all the MS are specced to fight against beam weapons so everyone just bashes everyone else in with huge fuckoff weapons and high caliber cannons)

what's curious, though, is how beam weapons and anti-beam defenses play out in gwitch's story

right from the get go we see Aerial just turn what's supposedly a state of the art MS into scrap with its bits' beams (which are set on the 'training mode' btw), and its bits can handily create an anti-beam field in a blink of an eye (which calls back to the I-Fields in Universal Century, and some beam deflectors present in SEED)

what's strange, though, is that the MS's themselves aren't built to handle taking hits from beams (barring grazing shots). you'd think Aerial could tank stuff without its barrier but no, she losses a leg pretty easily from a stray shot

the examples of shields we have are like, the Darilbalde's shield bits (that survived a barrage from Aerial Rebuild iirc, and tanked the Michaelis beam cannon), and the Beguir Pente's shield blocking Lfrith Thorn's beam saber before Norea upped the output and cleaved through it, apart from that, the gwitch MS are basically swiss cheese against even "training" beams

what is important is that the cockpit balls in gwitch are crazy fucking strong. that guy in the royal rumble that Norea hit dead on with a "lethal" beam took the beam she was shooting at him for like 10 seconds before it melted through (and made its reactor go critical but yeah), and that was definitely not a state of the art MS like the Big Three Benerit MS

so, gwitch tech is at this stage where:

MS armor is pretty useless against direct hits, leading to a "just don't get hit" strategy

but the cockpits are ridiculously protected so even if the rest of the suit is scrap then at least the pilot could just chill until they get rescued (barring, uh, direct melee hits right into the cockpit)

physical shields Exist and can resist beams but I guess they're lame?

there's anti-beam fields but it's probably Gundam exclusive stuff and tied to permet (aka the psychoframe equivalent in-setting)

which lead me to wonder this:

are we gonna get a gwitch sequel that's like Victory where everyone uses Beam Shields to help against beams?

[lets-talk-gundam]

Psychoframe piece is in progress! I'd say it's about halfway done. I'll try to have it wrapped up and posted after I get off work tonight!
