Newtype

Banagher Links (Newtype) Infront of psycoframe Unicorn Gundam

A Newtype is thought to be the next Human evolution. This would be the human body evolving to adapt to space and have a heightened mental awareness. The Newtype is similar to the Coordinators in Gundam SEED and the Innovators in Gundam 00. The Newtypes are feared by the "Oldtypes" because the Newtypes represent the next step in Human evolution and the Oldtypes are just what the past was like, almost like an antique. Newtypes were quickly introduced as soldiers for military factions. The Newtypes as soldiers are able to things that a normal soldier could not. These Newtypes are able to use better weapons of war such as Bits and Funnels which are basically unmanned ships that are only capable of using something like a beam saber or a beam rifle. These weapons are built into the Bits and Funnels and cannot be removed or switched out. There are also some Mobile Suits they can use with their mind. The psycoframe that the Sinanju or Unicorn uses. These Newtypes are the future and you will see in Gundam 00 Awakening of the Trailblazer at the end they show a large group of Innovaders headed off for deep space exploration. The Innovaders, like I said before, are very similar to the Newtypes.

MSN-06S Sinanju

Sinanju Front and Back

Sinanju with its weapons

Sinanju fighting the Unicorn Gundam

The Sinanju is my favorite unit. For its looks and its capabilities. It is a mobile suit that is pretty close to a Gundam but the fact that it is not and still can take on Gundams with ease shows how powerful this unit truly is. The Sinanju was stolen by Neo Zeon from the Earth Federation. They disguised a transfer to steal this unit. The Sinanju uses a Psycoframe which is made for Newtypes and connects the Pilot with the Operating System of the mobile suit so that they can issue commands via the pilots brainwaves. The Sinanju is a pain to fight in the Video Game Gundam Unicorn. The Sinanju though looks amazing with its Crimson paint. The Sinanju's weapons adds to how it looks in an amazing way. My favorite weapons that the Sinanju uses are its Beam Saber, Beam Axe, Sheild and its Beam Rifle. The weapons have the same paint as the body of the unit, Crimson Red. And like I had said before, This unit can take on Gundams. It does this best in asteroid fields because it jumps from asteroid to asteroid and changes direction quickly from this making it almost impossible to track. Honestly even if I was in a superior unit I would be terrified to fight this unit.

Two Units I bought at Sacanime!

          So a few weeks ago, I think it will be one month and one week this Saturday, I went to Sacanime with some friends. I was told to stay away from Gundam so that I could save money which I don't think is possible. So the first day which was Friday I was able to stay away from it since we were there for a short time and I was not able to go to every shop, but I saw a 6 dollar Mini Gundam Unicorn figure that I wanted to wait a day to buy so that it was not an impulse buy. The second day I went back and bought the figure which was worth the money. I then continued looking around at the stores knowing I had to save my money since I was not sure if I was going to buy my girlfriend anything. Then I came across the stand. The one stand that would make me buy things, the Gundam Stand. I stood there and looked then I asked how much the Over Flag is. They took it out scanned it and told me $15. I like the unit and I knew it is my brothers favorite Mobile Suit. I had enough for that and enough for what ever else, so I got it. I then saw the Sinanju and I really wanted it but I had to wait and hope it did not sell.

(There are multiple trays per bag)

          Some time later I met with my Girlfriend and when she went home I went over to my friends I went with. So me and my best Canadian Friend went over to the shopping area so I could get the Gundams and the announcement went off that the shopping area was only open for another 10 minutes. We had to rush over there. I looked and I knew I wanted the Sinanju but I was not sure if I had enough money because it looked like it would be 60 and I did not have that much. I looked and did not really see any that I wanted as much as the Sinanju, which would be hard since it is my favorite unit. I asked them how much it was and they scanned it then they told me it was... $33! I was very surprised at this and I took out my Money immediately. I then bought it and then a little later I started to wonder why the box was so big. I then put it together and opened it to look, my assumption was correct, there was a lot of parts. So I shall make it one day. Until then the box is sitting there looking nice.
          I still have not finished the Over Flag but I think I will be able to over October Break which is coming up soon. If I can I will take two days and plan nothing on them so I can make the Sinanju. I can not wait to build it since it is my favorite unit.
     I am sorry for this not really being that organized. I kind of write the story then I don't know where to break it up or what to do.

The Gundam Arios Robot Spirits

The secret unit I bought in the last blog was the Robot Spirits Arios from Gundam 00. I bought the Robot Spirits and not the model version because I had the Robot Spirits version of the GN Archer so I wanted to be able to connect them together and make a really cool combination of the two like they do in the show. This was not just the Arios though it was the Arios Ascalon. This one looks really cool and I like it and I am glad I bought it but if I could have I would have bought the regular Arios instead. Back to the Arios Ascalon though. This unit was so cool looking(I don't like the colors) so I had to buy it so that I could make the combination. I was sitting in the car with it and then BRAIN EXPLOSION! I realized I might not be able combine the two units together! Oh no! I already bought it then I thought. Why did I do this! Any ways I figured it should be fine and if it was not I would keep it since it is a cool unit. So I was in the car(Late so it was dark) And I started to play with it. I started to transform it into the flying mode with out instructions then realized I would have to get is back to normal mode to put it back in the box.(I was not really thinking that day I guess) So I put it back and we got home safely. But that is not all! I get home then I... Went to bed. I did not even test the GN Archer! It was late. That is my excuse. I woke up in the morning and my suspicion was right. It worked with the GN Archer. And that is my life story. Not really. And sorry if this is written weird. I have been typing for the past 2 hours so my brain is broken. And next week I will talk to you about my great discovery of two units at Sacanime! Stay tuned!

00+0 Raiser Gundam Model

Box Art (I always love the Box art for these Models)

For my birthday my family and I went to Japan Town. What should I buy? Well duh. I bought a Gundam Model! I saw this Gundam Model and immediately thought  want that but Money. I had enough I just wanted to make sure I could buy it and other things if I wanted. I was going to buy the super rare Gundam Quan[T] ELSE edition(Robot Spirits) but it was $90. I did not even know that it had existed. So I looked around a little and saw the Gundam 00+0 Raiser model. I picked it up because I wanted both of them and it looked really cool. So I decided I would buy that if there was not anything else I wanted to buy. I looked around and saw the "Mystery Gundam Model"(I knew what one it was but you will have to come back to find out) and I really wanted that but I thought it would be better to buy the 00 Raiser first. So I bought it. And it was really cool. The model was a good quality and cheaper than I have seen it some other places. I normal won't do story time but this is a special episode and I will return to the normal ones soon enough. Here is the website that I bought the Model through(It was at a convention like thing so they were there in person) Gundam Model Shop I normally won't advertise but this is more of showing my fellow Gundamers where to buy some good Gundams. I will have Some photos of it completed soon.

Unable

Today I won't be able to write a blog because where I am has terrible internet. If you are lucky enough to get a right IP address then you can use it But even when you do I waited 30 minutes trying to load this page so I can't really do research right now. Luckily I had some thing to do because I have season 1 and 2 downloaded.

Gundam Banshee

Destroy Mode

Regular Mode

The Banshee Gundam is from Gundam Unicorn and gets introduced in Episode 4. The Banshee Gundam looks just like the Unicorn Gundam but is Black with Orange instead of the red. The other difference of the Banshee Gundam is that it has a giant left hand(Which looks really bad) and a giant arm cannon on the right. The head of it has a cool looking horn from the destroy mode since it has antler looking things instead. I like the color scheme but I do not like the giant hand. I do not know much more about the Banshee since I have not been able to find episode 4 of Gundam Unicorn since I would rather have it in English due to me reading slow.

AMD and Offtopic (Not to much)

AMD is my favorite computer company. The PlayStation(Also has the largest Gundam variety) is my favorite game console(PC is better). Together these will make the PS4 which I hope will have some Gundam games on. AMD just released the best Graphics Card this year and it is pretty amazing but also over kill. I don't know why you would need a graphics card that good($1000) except for the fact that you would not need a new one for a long time. My point is that AMD is Fantastic. But back to Gundam. With the new PS4 and its technology would be able to handle a fantastic Gundam game. It would be able to have hundreds of particles rendered at one time with separate physics allowing peices of Mobile suits to break off perfectly and then on top of that the beam graphics would be amazing. All the particles flowing around it and the high texture resolution along with Anti-Aliasing(My favorite setting in games ever). I honestly would buy the PS4 just for that game and I would buy the import of the game immediately. Over all I think that game would be amazing. One short little notice: If you don't like AMD or like Intel just a little more I will respect you opinion but I will think that you are crazy and extremely disagree with you. Also if any one went to the AMD Fan Day a few weeks ago it was amazing. I hope next year it is close by enough to go, and that I am able to go. If it is ever near you I would strongly suggest you to go.

My blog can be Incorrect

When I state something that is not actually true I ask you to please comment and tell me that I have messed up on the blog post. I would rather be embarrassed instead of look stupid. I know I have messed up in the past however I have caught most of them. There might be more mistakes but I have not found them so I ask you that if there is ever any mistakes that any one finds I would enjoy if people tell me so I can fix it. Usually not with grammar(I know that I am not the best) but When I say that one character is some one else then I would like to be told. Any ways here is a picture of a Gundam.(And the picture is true but I don't know why it says shop)

My Gundam Action Figures

GN-Archer Flying Mode

GN-Archer Shooting Position

These Three Gundams are worth $90 in USD. To have Gundam toys it is expensive. Okay so I finally got the others uploaded and I am sorry I only have one shot of the Exia. If you really want another shot of the Exia I can take one but you will need to tell me. The Throne Drei is very cool because it has so many parts. It has all the side pieces (Removable) and it comes with the connecter to the other three units (So if you have them you can connect to make the giant Beam). I am glad I bought these units    ,                                                                                      and I think you should buy units and make ,                                                                                      your own collection

 

Gundam Action Figures: Good and Bad

         The Gundam toys are a lot more fun than I remember. Monday night I took out(Of the box, they are on display) my Gundam action figures. I meant to just look or play with them for a few seconds but it turned into an hour. I realized a lot about them like that they are more delicate(But not to much) than I remember and that they are a lot more fun than I remember. They are delicate because they have little pieces that can come off easily if you move it really wrong but it is not easy to do. They are also really good because they have a lot more detail(Not as much as a high end model) than what most action figures are at that price. The figures also come with a lot of parts (Depending on which you buy) I am sorry but his post will not have pictures but my next one will be pictures for this one. I have not included pictures because I will need to explain them a little and I do not have time to take pictures of them right now.

Gundam Action Figures

These Action Figures are very expensive. I have three and all together they are about $100. Each is usually $35 and the names are the same as the regular Gundam or mobile suit name. You can't just look them up and find all of them. You need to go to amazon(where most of them are) and search Mobile Suit In Action(MSIA) or Robot Spirits. The difference that I have noticed between the two is the MSIA is a little higher quality. However some of them are only Robot Spirits(Most). The Gundams come with all the parts that they would have and all the transforming capabilities as you would expect(Arios and the GN Archer can combine). Over all I want more because I looked at them while writing this. This is an example of the Parts. This is an Example of them Transforming.

Gundam 00 First Episode

Left to right. Exia, Kyrios, Dynames, Virtue. All Season 1 Gundams

He does not even care. He is so relaxed.

I have watch the first episode of Gundam 00 a lot. I have probably posted about it before but this will be a little more of what is happening in the episode because I am writing this and watching it at the same time. Right before the opening that is Setsuna as a kid which it will explain later on in the series. The guy who walks to the random person, who I believe is called Billy Katagiri, is Graham Aker. One of the best pilots. Go read my post on him I did a few posts back. When the Exia fought Patrick Colasour that was halarious how easy it was. The Exia did not even try. "IT'S FIRING FROM THE GROUND" as said by some random AEU soldier. This would be the Dynames. They have yet to learn it can fire into space. Just a question maybe some one could answer. Why did the pilots screen go fuzzy when the Exia cut its arm? This is the scene when the Dynames is shooting from the ground. Now the Virtue comes in. Hey guys I heard there was a party. Can I bring my canon. (Not actually said) The Virtue just comes out of nowhere and blats the enemy unknown mobile suit with his canon. I would think that pulls to much attention. I guess that they want the attention to show their power. Yay Aeolia Schenberg! I would say that he was the smartest person alive ever. He was 100 or more years ahead of every one else. I would think that they would cloak their Gundams because right now they have Nations after them trying to find out who they are. I have to say though that the first few episodes of Gundam are some of my favorites only because of the confusion of the Nations and that they hardly need to try because it is so easy.

SVMS-01E Union Flag Graham Aker Custom

This is the SVMS-01E Union Flag Graham Aker Custom which by the name you should be able to tell that it is Graham Aker's mobile suit. This unit is a repainted Flag unit with twice the speed and not only that it also has reinforcements to the joints and backpack, an anti-beam coating on the fuselage, and a new model rifle designed by the Iris Corporation. The Most significant upgrade to the custom is the inclusion of an acceleration mechanism called the G-System which greatly accelerates the Custom Flag how ever this also puts 12Gs of acceleration on the pilot making this a double edge sword weapon.

Fuun Saiki (Horse Gundam)

This Gundam (If you can call it that) is a horse and the pilot is a horse. This Gundam is from G Gundam. How they get the horse to understand what is happening I have no idea but I do know that the horse would be wearing a suit similar to those in G Gundam. The suits in G Gundam monitor the humans movements in what I believe is a form of zero gravity made by humans. This horse would not see anything close to it so the only way I think it could pilot would be through just regular walking and telling what it can and can't do by the way the horse would feel while piloting it. I still don't understand exactly how it would know or process things because the horse would be floating in this chamber (Sphere) that has screens to see what is happening. The screens though would show where the head is on the Gundam not where the horse is located in it. A human can at least think of how that would work because then it would be as if they were the unit because of the point of view though it would be harder to tell what movements do what. I don't think the horse would be able to process this. So I end this with still not knowing how this unit works because of a lack of information out on the internet and thinking it would be very hard to get the unit to work with the horse.

Graham Aker

(Season 1)

(Season 2)

(Movie)

Graham Aker is from Gundam 00 and I have not talked about him yet and you can't talk about Gundam 00 and not him(you could but he is one of my favorites). He pilots a Mobile Suit in Season 1 and can go right against a Gundam with issue but he can hold up against Setsuna. Later on a gets a mobile suit with a GN-Drive Tau and can tear Setsuna apart(Literally). He looks the best in season one when he has no mask or scar. In season two he wears a mask because he has a scar. In the movie he wears no mask and has a scar. When he fights Setsuna for the first time with the GN-Drive Tau Setsuna does not realize it is him and has issues fighting him until his allies come along and Lockon shoots right between them to make them stop fighting. I think if he had a Gundam to pilot he would be able to destroy any enemy and if he piloted one from the beginning then they would have less fighting issues when Setsuna freaks out and starts shouting Gundam or does not move because he remembers his past. He does get better Mobile Suits but I think he should have had a Gundam or a high end Mobile Suit from the beginning. Over all Graham Aker is very good at piloting and I think he should have been in a better mobile suite or a Gundam.

Gundam Unicorn the Video Game

(Sinanju)

(Box Art)

Recently I got Gundam Unicorn the Video Game in the mail from Japan and it is really easy to tell where to go in game from knowing only English and the controls are simple to learn. The games controls are easy to learn because in the beginning it teaches you each move so I would not worry if you know English. As far as the games story line it does have one but is all you would need to do is watch Gundam Unicorn and I think it goes up to episode three. I have had to restart the game three times after almost beating it but that was my fault and I will tell you what not to do. If you live in America I would tell you to make a Japanese PSN account because otherwise you can't get DLC and if you click the grey Missions/Movies the game will freeze if it is setup to the American one. The game will play on American PS3 because the PS3s are not region locked and if you want to make a Japanese PSN account just make one like you regularly would and for your region select Japan. It is that simple and it does not change the language of the icons(PS3 home screen). The other thing I would not suggest is to copy a save file from one account to your Japan one because then you won't get achievements and I like to show I have done the hard work but if you don't care go ahead. (I am not sure if you will get the achievements on other games) The game graphics wise looks really good and the game play is fantastic. This is way better than the Gundam: Cross Fire. Do not take these pictures as true graphics because this person did not take them in full HD but they were the only ones I could find so the graphics are better than that.

Good Looking Gundams

These Gundams are not the best looking but they are my two favorite Gundams. The one on the left is the 1.5(Pronounced Eyes) Gundam (Left) and is from Gundam 001 which is a side series of Gundam 00. I don't have much to say about the 1.5 Gundam. But the Sinanju (Right) and is from Gundam Unicorn. I Have been playing Gundam Unicorn the Video Game (which I will post about) so I have been amazed with this Mobile Suit. This unit looks really nice with the glossy finish(Top Right) and honestly if I bought that model I would pay the extra for the Master Grade and the Glossy finish which I believe is
called Titanium. How ever the titanium model is about
$30 or $100 more and I think they are the same ones (Prices Provided By Amazon)

Worst Looking Gundams

First The Devil Gundam is the one on the right. This Gundam looks the best because... Well in all honesty the Devil Gundam is one of the worst looking(it is strong though) Gundams ever. How ever there is a Gundam that is pretty awesome. This Gundams name is the Nether Gundam. I can at least see the Devil Gundam having a mode without the giant head but there is still the windmill. Then the flying mode(top). Most Gundams have boosters but why would this amazing beast have those out of date things. These are only some of the terrible Gundams. So the only way to redeem Gundam now is to do a blog post on great Gundams. Next episode: Good Looking Gundams.

Mobile Fighter G Gundam

Mobile Fighter G Gundam is in the Future Century timeline and is about nations sending their best Gundam pilot every four years to fight against other nations with Earth as the arena and what ever nation wins the tournament they will get all sovereign over all other nations. However the rules are things as if the head of the Gundam is destroyed you are disqualified, You can never target the cockpit, and you can only do a one on one fight. The main character Domon Kasshu is fight for Neo Japan to free his father who is blamed for treason because his son stole the Dark Gundam(Devil Gundam) and the only way for Domon to get his father back is to find the Dark Gundam. The Reason I choose this picture is because I thought it showed best how they pilot it. They pilot the Gundams with this suit while they are suspended some how and when they move the Gundam moves, which is why the Gundams arm is extended and his is also.

Gundam SEED Destiny is Confusing

Gundam SEED Destiny is a little confusing at first. Some of the people have a different name because they are in hiding and some are new. A few of them even look the same so you need to pay attention to clothing. For example of a name change Cagalli is called Atha which is her last name but they did not use it in SEED. Then there is Shinn which in the Manga looks like Athrun or Kira. So if you are going to read it I suggest to look at names and memorize them as soon as you can. Otherwise you might get lost like I did at first. (Left Picture left to right- Athrun Kira Shinn) In the Manga They use black as the hair color and they look very similar.

Gundam Comic Books?

Yesterday I was wondering if there was a Gundam Comic Book thanks to my teacher loving comic books. I found some. Gundam Wing from the 2000s. They are cheap but you have to pay for shipping which most places no matter what the size charge $5. From what I have herd Gundam Wing is good. I have not had any experience with the series(yet). But I might buy these. So for Gundam from television series to Manga to comic books(I was not expecting it) to toys to a giant statue in Bandai park Gundam has a lot of things. Look something up if you think of and you might just find what you thought of. And just to be sure I am still not 100% about them being comics. But I am convinced that they are.
