unnamed maganac weapon

Another one of the maganacs unlisted weapons, only shows up a couple of times, looks kinda like a dober gun, but about 50% bigger and less of a square body,
I assume it’s eather a dober variant or like some kinda recoilless rifle, but here’s my take on it,

Nothing to See Here, Just a Totally Normal Amount of Quatre

Just wanted to show a bit of my collection. Can you tell who my all-time favorite is? 😇

I’ve loved Quatre for over 30 years, and I don’t see that changing ever💛

Sadly, I lost all of my childhood collection after moving out (my mom threw everything away 😭), so this is actually my second attempt at rebuilding the ultimate Quatre shrine.

Maganac parts update

Ok so got more of the unique shield styles seen in the show, I think this is all of the unique designs, still need to do a few of the known numbered ones, prints came out great, also works well with my non cannon detail up part

Episode 48 question in regards to Duo

In episode 48 Duo is on The Libra(or Peacemillion maybe? since they were stuck together) and goes to a locked door, asked whomever was inside to step away and then blows the lock. He looks inside, jumps back to slam the door and says "Whoa, that is the last thing I was expecting to see!"

In his next appearance he's chatting with the five scientists, was this the same room? If so his freaked-out reaction doesn't make sense. It is a PG series obviously but it almost came off as if he'd walked in on some sexual liaison, haha. Again, that doesn't match the scientists' vibe(as far as I know) plus Duo was talking with them casually afterwards which of he witnessed the men banging right beforehand I'd imagine he'd still be visibly uncomfortable.

Unsure if there is a canonical answer(haven't rewatched in well over a decade) or an implied one? Answers/theories are appreciated.

Maganac corps HG custom parts

Ok so I got a few more of the shields modeled up for printing, so far this is the best reference pic I can find of the unique maganac parts, there’s gotta be a better reference sheet out there though..

Doing the cannon shoulders next

Makes no sense to me

Started watching Gundam Wing some a few weeks ago after remembering it as a kid. I never finished it but wanted to check it out.

I’m two episodes from the end and maybe it’s just me but the story makes no sense to me. I have listed the events chronologically below:-
- The Gundams were sent to defeat OZ to liberate the colonies.
- OZ take takes over the alliance, fair enough they are the bad guys
-OZ is obtaining support in space and helping the colonies against the alliance
-There is a split with OZ and Romerfeller. This is because Romerfeller want to use dolls and Trieze finds battle and war beautiful? He finds it to be part of the human spirit. This was when it started not making sense to me. Sure I can see that if you are fighting for liberation or freedom, but OZ are fighting for domination. Really going to atatch a moral value to fighting
- Romerfeller take over and defeat rebels aligned with Trieze.
- They bring in Relena as a symbol so they can control, she gets usurped by Trieze once You bite Fang emerge.
- The gundams don’t allign with White Fang even though they both want to fight for the colonies. In one of the recent episodes one of the pilots even says should we not fight alongside white fang? Before deciding to take him on against Epyon
- White Fang being rejected by the Gundams bring on Zechs who wants to devestate Earth so they know the horror of war and commit to pacifism? I don’t think it works that way WW2 was a result of WW1 and the defeat Germany suffered. The people became radicalised and voted for Hitler. Israeli Jews invaded Palestine with the justification they suffered atrocities in Europe. History has shown the writers of the show, that mindset doesn’t work.

Maybe I’m dumb I don’t know but the constant switching of faction enemies is throwing me off, Heero was at one point fighting on Triezes army. The White fang group only became radical when Zechs became commander. I don’t understand why the Gundams didn’t allign with White Fang.

Did you have any of the “Mobile Suit in Action” (MSIA) figures from Wing release/2000s?

I actually love these figures. The size is great, and they have surprisingly amazing articulation for their time. Only gripe is their armaments, and hands/limbs do get loose and begin to fall apart pretty easily after having them a while. But they are great for posing and displaying.

I couldn’t imagine trying to play a battle with these as a kid. On one hand, it would be an absolute blast to blow these to pieces….on the other hand, it would be insanely infuriating trying to keep them all together with all their pieces trying to reenact a scene or something

Do you remember these figures from back in the day?

I remember obsessing over these, perusing eBay all summer looking for an unopened set of these that my dad would actually buy for me, despite not totally understanding Wing at the time (I was probably 10 or 11). Finally got them and every time I look at them it’s a wave of nostalgia.

These are not the same figures from childhood, lost those somewhere over the years, and had to hunt and search these ones out individually to get them all, as the unopened box set costs a fortune these days, if you can find it. But I love these; wish more of the series’ did pilot figure box sets like this.

RG Wing Gundam Zero Tv Version (Part 1: MS mode)

Amazing! This is my 5th Real grade and probably the best one. It can do pretty much every pose you would want, from the show or otherwise, except it can't quite pull off grabbing the beam saber from the shoulder, it almost makes it, but not quite. It has two built in 3mm action base, adapter? I am not quite sure what to call it. The wing binders are amazingly posable, two points of articulation of the supports for them and 4 per wing segment, 16 in total. The thrusters on the wing binders have a gimmick where they can open up for cooling or more thrust power ( pictures 7+8), and the shoulder verniers and chest thruster vents can open up (pictures 5+6). The verniers in the shoulder can rotate downwards (pictures 3, 9,+10). The hips can drop down do provide more articulation, and can rotate at a lower pivot to be able to have the legs to one side (pictures 18,+19 {last two}). The legs have two sliding parts when bent, on the knee and the back of the leg. The hands I think are brand new. The weapons just slide in from the top with a nice firm grip, maybe a little bit too tight with the twin buster rifle. Finally, The twin buster rifle has no problem being held with both hands, and the shield can extend, and it's small wings can fold in, I assume for less of a break risk.

Overall, amazing kit 100% recommend to anyone who likes Gundam in general, Gundam wing, real grade, or just anyone.

Doing a rewatch after years away, and learned that there is some Gundam clothing predating the cloaks…

One of the Maganacs can be seen wearing a bonnet and a robe. Thought this was pretty awesome, especially the hat 😂

Edit: thanks to a fellow fan learned the ‘bonnet’ is actually called a “Keffiyeh”. Still unsure of what the other, body/shoulder cloth item is actually called though. Please educate me if anyone knows

Heero Yuy is extra AF

Been thinking about this for a few days... There's no wind or updraft or anything in the vacuum of space. So when he retrieves his Wing Zero and flies back to Earth in EW and the wings flap... The GUNDAM didn't need to do that. He pressed extra buttons to do that to aura farm. He could have just used thrusters...

Gundam Wing: A humble tribute... by Anthony (GeoCities fansite)

Wayback Machine archive

So I think I've tracked down the origin of these maps of Gundam Wing locations. After going through my old floppy disks, I found a saved copy of a character page for the United Earth Sphere Alliance. (I've always thought the Alliance as a bit underrated- if they're the Federation to OZ's Titans, they were the basis of the fall of the Earthsphere to tyranny and militarism after all. What did they actually stand for and how does OZ really differ, anyway?)

After some searching, I re-discovered the GeoCities page belonging to one Anthony, and their The Planet Earth atlas section, which I still remember so distinctly from like 2003/2004 because it taught me the existence of the city Bremen (as opposed to Brussels), which I had no idea even appears in the series. This website was last updated in 2000, and was lost in 2009 along with the rest of GeoCities.

This website had tons of images of the mobile suits, screencaps, an extensive character section , none of which was archived much. It's incredibly sad, I remember this site distinctly, and I'm kicking myself for not saving the other very-extensive character pages at least. (Their OZ page has Trant Clark to Alex and Mueller to the mechanic Maser!) Very comprehensive Civilian section. There's even a page for nameless characters!!! (Just the ESUN president from Endless Waltz, and "Relena Worshippers".)

There was a Miscellaneous section with some short little speculative articles. Sadly, the "Where on Earth is the Sanc Kingdom?" article is gone, but "The Legend of Nataku" (anyone seen those Nezha films?), "Chang Wufei's Namesake" (heck yeah Romance of the Three Kingdoms), and "Why OZ is OZ and Treize is Treize" (your typical Wing numerology). I've archived all three on my own archive website.

From that last article, a very unusual explanation for the name of OZ:

Objective(or Operation etc) : Zenith

Source: a Gundam Wing promotional pamphlet included as a premium with a 1996 issue of Animedia (or Animage?) magazine.

Gundam Wing Lost Fic : 1x2x5

Okay, read this fic a looong time ago and I want it back. Premise: Duo, Wufei, and Quatre are captured together. Duo manages to start lockpicking himself out in between beatings. Eventually bad guy starts threatening if he says something he'll shoot Quatre. Particular scene I remember is that bad guy shoots at Quatre, trying to get Duo to break. They eventually get free because Quatre shoots bad guy, return to safe house. Trowa blames Duo a bit while Heero starts caretaking for a now mute!Duo and Wufei. They get together near end of fic.

Anyone know this one?
