Mechanista in G – GNX-Y901TW Susanowo

Space. The bar on your keyboard. This is an episode of the podcast Mechanista in G. Its continuing mission gets more and more unclear with each episode. And this goof has outlived its usefulness. Join us for part 1 of our discussion of the USS Enterprise. And the HMS Enterprise. And L'Enterprise. And the Space Shutt- I'm uploading this episode two days early with the hopes that we can get some advice as to how to proceed with part 2 before we recording it on Wednesday the 22nd!

Sometimes even Gundam Crossbone has good ideas. And they may not be good ideas leading up to them, or even following them. But for one shining moment, you get a cartridge-powered pile bunker leg driving a massive beam saber down, and everything is ok. ...Ok, that's unfair to the F89, that thing's fine. But boy. Anchor V2, V3, V4... it definitely goes downhill. Lighting can strike twice.

I guess I would describe the Radiant Wave Surger as having both "the power" and "the touch." And it certainly gets "ready for battle." But can it "beat the Black Knight" if it itself IS a Black Knight? Y'know, stupid question. On two fronts. First of all, of course a person can always defeat themselves. Second, why am I doing an extended bit about the theme of the pinball machine Black Knight 2000? You can find a video version of this podcast for free on Scanline Media’s Patreon!

Now, listen. It would not be entirely unfair to call me a weeb. I don't like the term, but y'know, lord knows I enjoy plenty of Japanese media. But that's kinda it, right? And Japanese food, that's good too. But I'm not out here obsessing over the code of bushido like SOME Americans. I wouldn't want to name names. It could be ANYONE under Mr. Bushido's mask. I can't be sure. But I suspect that some BLOND AMERICAN MEN have a lot to be ashamed of. You can find a video version of this podcast for free on Scanline Media’s Patreon!

There's no identity crisis to be had here, because this show has long since extended its reach past just mecha... but these machines don't have pilots! They are remote controlled though, which is certainly a kind of piloting. It's a pedantic distinction, but it can be fun to consider how the categorization works out. The machines of Robot Alchemic Drive seem a-okay to me. A real shame the Gllang apparently sucks, it's sick. I did a bad job of giving credit on the ep- this was a request from listener Baavetti!

Oh, those early episodes where our methodology was woefully incomplete. Yes, we left a bit of a mess back then. Mentioning the base Reginlaze then nothing else! Foolish.

We made a promise four years ago. ...Well, to be honest, it was more a proposal than a promise. I didn't exactly feel oathbound. Which to me makes this more important. We weren't bound by obligation. We just really wanted to have Grant (mynameisgrant.bsky.social) back on the show, and talk about the meat mecha of the Aura Road. And y'know? I'm so glad we did.

"Neofalia," you see, is the name of the research institute where this machine (and others) are built. And it's called "Tyrant" because it issues orders to machines that follow its commands, its "Slaves." And it's called "Sword" both because it has a sword, but also in the sort of grand metaphorical sense where you might refer to any instrument of violence, sapient or not, as your "sword." And they use "of" because... actually hang on, you probably knew that one. If not the others as well. Can you tell I didn't have a good idea for show notes?

In my memory, when I think about Gundam 00, I forget the Ahead ever happened. It papers over everything with GN-XIIIs and Ga-family machines. Now, this is both fair and unfair. The fair part is, the Ahead sucks. It's dumb and bad. The unfair part is, almost no design ENTIRELY sucks. It still has some cool elements, not to mention cool variants.

More than it needs women, Mars needs tanks. And honestly? The Mars Tank ISN'T one. It's a cool machine, and a name that captures the imagination. But it's not a TANK. It's a robot that can pick stuff up. And frankly can't even do that very well! But, y'know... be careful who you make fun of in high school.
