Digipaint GMs! They're not as cool as normal GMs. Then again, that's a high bar, so what can you do. The Earth Alliance grunts of Seed, Stargazer, and Seed Destiny are here, and though there are definitely some losers in here, there are a surprising number of winners, too. Even when Seed's obsession with putting gundams everywhere takes over, it's actually pretty good!

winning and freedom....

I could do a thing here. I could talk about how in its original context, "mecha" is just short for "mechanism" and includes all manner of machinery, and cars qualify. But that's an excuse, and I don't need an excuse. It's the Dodge Viper! It's requested by muffin lord! Why SHOULDN'T we talk about it?

Sometimes, you nail it in one. There may be no variants or successors to the Taurus, but that's ok, because this transformable friend is all you need. ... ...I CAN'T KEEP DOING THIS. PLEASE GOD GIVE ME WING MS-V. I'm DYING out here. How can you not want to iterate and vary these designs?! What's WRONG with you?! ...What's wrong with me....

The return of the loser who should be dead! The Byarlant is a bit overshadowed in Zeta with all the other funny friends we get to meet, but at least it doesn't have enough weapons and its variants do literally nothing to address this! Sorry, sorry. It's just. I don't know why they've done this.

What's that on the horizon? It's not an Armored Trooper! It's not a Gundam! It's a PERSONAL TROOPER! ...and kinda just a Gundam. Our first ever Super Robot Wars original design we've covered is the Huckebein, aka a Katoki Gundam with the serial numbers filed off. Not only that, it has a Gundam-like family tree of lots of robots, so we have plenty to talk about!

against my better judgment, here is a link to "chicken cyclone"

It's special guest time as we head into uncharted territory- let's talk about the ships of Gundam! Battleships, carriers, an entry capsule, what have you got? It turns out... you've got friends for us to talk about! That's always a pleasant surprise.

I'm certainly used to women being mistreated and misused in Gundam, but Ennil stings because it feels like there was no reason this had to happen! I'm not saying the show is great about gender or anything, but it isn't a Tomino show and you can tell! She could have had it all! Well. Not Toniya. The show is definitely too cishet-brained for THAT. But she could have had a lot, and for some reason she just doesn't get it.

You know what I want to see? In some SD Gundam thing, someone should summon and wish on the Doggorla like it's Shenron. I think that would be a really good goof. Not like a Gouf, like a bit. ...No, not like a Bit, like a... you know what, forget it. Let's talk about a dragon, then about the works of Junya Ishigaki, then just some other stuff. Mechanista and chill, or something.

The Axis Drop. The climax of Char's Counterattack, as a massive asteroid, plucked from the asteroid belt and repurposed into a huge colony, is intentionally hurled towards the Earth. Could we redirect such a thing? Well, there are a lot of problems with such a scenario. For one, it's really better to try way, WAY sooner than they did in that movie. Also Axis had maneuvering thrusters to counteract any counter-counterattack.

BUT. Let's ignore those objections for a moment. If it's just an asteroid headed for the Earth? Noooo problem. We can throw that off course. Why do I know this? Because we DID. It wasn't exactly headed towards us, but the DART program from John Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory demonstrated a month ago today that we can redirect asteroids with a simple probe impact. That's just one APL project, a group with history dating back to the end of World War II. And who better to guide us through their history than current APL employee Space Instrumentation Electrical Engineer Nick Seese.

Yes, THAT Nick Seese. The duality of man, folks.

I don't think we've ever covered a building before. Eh! I'm sure it won't be the last. This one can FLY! ...It probably won't be the last one of those, either. But really, we need to see more done with the FFVIII world. Even though I am asking that of modern Square Enix, which is a very scary proposition.
