Core Gundam II, huh... I wonder what the detail differences will be.
ReplyDeletePowered by Intel Core 2 Duo.
DeleteThe head is different, sharper, more like the Zeta than the Age 1, upper arms are looking bulkier too, though that could be form specific (doubt it)
ReplyDeleteThose wheels man kinda reminds me of the knightmare frames from code geass
ReplyDeleteThat first new image ekes out some real J I B U N W O energy behind it.
DeleteThis I would consider buying.
ReplyDeleteThought the one with the Stargazer ring would be named Saturnix, another missed opportunity bandai and sunrise
ReplyDeleteIts because in japanese saturn is土星 and from what i know 土 means soil or earth.
Deletethe reason why they probably used the japanese names instead of the physical appearance, and colors(for some) for the core gundam's forms purpose is beacuse the designers may have wanted the first 5 planets be the first ones to have been base on standard equipment or variant on mobile suits(space, underwater,close combat and heavy weapons) which explaines why mercury was the underwater type instead of neptune since the japanese of mercury is 水星 and 水 is suppsed to be water
That knightmare pose is pre cool
ReplyDeleteSo it's a Knightmare Frame.
ReplyDeleteSaturnix and Uraven are probably the best name to come out of the planets+numbers naming scheme.
ReplyDeleteim kinda disappointed that the armor with the giant ring isn't Saturn
ReplyDeleteSaturn has rings around it. WHY THE HELL IS THIS ONE SATURN!? WHY????????
ReplyDeleteBecause in Japanese Saturn is 土星 / "the ground planet". Thus the wheels for high speed ground movement, a drill for cutting through the ground, and so on.
DeleteHiroto (in the show) and Sunrise Beyond (in reality) based a majority of the functionality of the PLANETS system armors on the Japanese names of the planets. In fact the only one of these armors that doesn't really have anything to do with the Japanese name is Jupiter/"the wood planet"... because a Gundam made of wood is kinda a hard sell...
Because Saturn is brown lol
DeletePlease have new knightmares hg please...
