The week before the Great Gundam Project starts Mobile Suit Gundam 00, we roll the first mobile suit you see in the first episode of Gundam 00! How's that for timing. Thanks, dice! But, uh. The Enact is actually not all that cool. Now! The HELLION! That's a pal. If you want to find us on Twitter, Dylan is @lowpolyrobot and Six is @sixdettmar.

Back in the early episodes of this show, we covered the Hyaku Shiki and the Delta Gundam. And we were fairly thorough, all things considered! But it's such an influential tree of designs.

I really regret not shouting out my love of these games louder before Volition was cruelly shuttered. FreeSpace 1 and 2 are tense spacefighter Ace Combat, with atmospheric music, harrowing atmosphere, great gameplay, and yes- some pretty darn fun ship designs too. In honor and sadness at the end of Volition, the developers of the series (and several other remarkable series besides), I wanted to talk a bit about these designs with Dylan. I hope this episode can tempt you to check out these very excellent games, available on GOG and Steam, and enhanced even further with the FreeSpace Open project and the Knossos launcher. It's not the Gundam Wiki, but the FreeSpace Wiki is plenty thorough enough for our purposes. Check out the list of FreeSpace 1 ships here, and FreeSpace 2 ships here.

I don't have a lot of fun quips or anything for these show notes. I haven't seen a MINUTE of Gundam AGE. I know this will change eventually- I plan to watch along with the Great Gundam Project. But for now, I just look at the pictures and say "yea this suit seems alright." Uhm. I gotta say something funny. "Hark! A Vagan!" Was that funny? Did I do good?

Saturn was doing plastic cars before it was popular. You know, for a long time I thought the shuttering of GM's Saturn division was unjust, but looking at it now... maybe it was fine?

It's funny to think about Advance of Zeta, and the Titans Test Team, as an extension of the Titans. It fits surprisingly well- 0083 already shows that the factions within the Federation that would become the Titans are throwing money around like crazy on mobile suit designs that are irrelevant by the time of Zeta. The GM Cannon II, the GM Custom, the whole Gundam Development Project... and of course the GM Quel, which would end up being the Rosetta Stone of the wild world of AoZ designs.

Transformable mobile suits. Remember when we all thought those were the way of the future? It's probably too harsh to call them a "fad," but they're like... I don't know, like kale. For a minute everyone's convinced we should be doing all kale all the time, and now it's just a food you sometimes have. Sure, I'll take a Gaplant. Why not.

So wait. Are there... OTHER Dras? Is there a Dra-A and a Dra-B, and perhaps more? Maybe they never made it to production. Like, if you look at the file name of this episode, it's mechanista217.mp3. There aren't 217 episodes on this feed. We've lost a few... there have been recordings that were unusable. And we didn't just replace those numbers. We retired that episode number, like a jersey at a baseball stadium. Ah. Now I'm sad. Wherever you are, Dra-B, I believe in you. There's no way you're worse than the Baund Doc.
