Gundam Aerial features a "BIT ON FORM", in which the shield becomes part of its armor and deploys as funnel bits when activated.

seems y'all forgot about 0080, war in the pocket when you say first female hero
ReplyDeleteChris is firmly in the support role in that one, the protagonist is Bernie unless you think piloting a Gundam automatically makes you the lead. I've been waiting for a proper female lead for ages, was disappointed that AGE went with three dudes.
DeleteShe's more like a side character than a main character, the main focus of 0080 was the kid Al and the pilot of the Zaku Bernie.
DeleteProbably just parroting the fanbase really. When this was first announced there were lots of people on Reddit and elsewhere saying how they were excited cause they haven't had one.
Deleteshe piloted the gundam, but Chris wasn't the main character
DeleteShe’s probably discounted as a “secondary” character rather than a primary one. Note the article didn’t claim first female Gundam pilot.
DeleteThey must mean protagonist then.
DeleteDead wrong, first female gundam pilot squarely belongs to Sayla, even if she was using it once and was pretty bad at it and one time use she still holds the title of first female gundam pilot.
DeleteShe's the first main protagonist piloting Gundam, not the first female Gundam pilot.
DeleteVery interesting style and proportions, seems it's got IBO-style feet with strong ankle pivot, and a 30MM-style gun haha
ReplyDeleteI'm getting some AGE/Legilis vibes from this one. I think it's mostly down to the vertical strakes on the legs/backpack.
ReplyDeleteLike I said in the post about Lfrith: I'm really liking the designs here.
ReplyDeleteI've got my eye on this series.
The proportions of this MS make it look like its ready to run in a track race..
ReplyDeleteEcole Du Ciel.
ReplyDeleteIt's Raiser, Legilis, Turn A, ang G-self combined with a psycoframe.
ReplyDeleteCool design. Main gundam protagonist colors sucks as usual though.
ReplyDeleteThese MS designs are pretty okay but what's up with the nerf blaster looking weapons? They're kinda corny imo.
ReplyDeleteThat shield looks sus, almost looks like it can transform into a flight backpack.
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking that
DeleteNeither the Girl or the Gundam impress me, so I hope the story is good. She looks more like a Miyazaki character to me than a Gundam gal, but we'll wait and see. Gundam gals that I have liked are Sayla, Emma, Four, Chris, Nina, Aina, Merida and grown-up Mineva (from Unicorn).
ReplyDeleteAll I want to know is when is the Master Grade coming? I like the influx of new Gundam merch in general but I think we are still lacking in MG releases... Dunno why tho, they seem to be backordered all the time so I'm guessing it's not the lack of sales...
ReplyDeleteI need one image with armor and showing BAC
ReplyDeletewell now we know both the shield's gimmick and the reason for all the hardpoints, neat
ReplyDeletethe beam effect for the gun also looks pretty cool
definitely buying one to customize
