Mechanista in G

I didn't PLAN to make this the Victor Show. Sometimes these things just... happen. Hey, if we're gonna do card game designs, we should do like. Netrunner, and Yu-Gi-Oh!. And Magic I suppose, I'll be honest, I don't really care about Magic. I did in high school, and it's not like I've "grown out of it" or anything, I've just lost interest. But maybe it has some cool mecha cards. That could potentially sway me.

Friend friend friend friend friend! Who would have guessed that this fun enough one-off design from ZZ would become one of the most beloved parts of Turn A? There's a lot to love about Turn A, of course- a really wonderful show that's horribly slept on. But maaaaaan. The Kapool. What a winner. What an all-time best friend.

It's fun to discover whole worlds you previously knew nothing of. The listener whose request we rolled this week made the request a few years ago at this point, and sent along some art of the cards they were interested in. And I was like, "oh, there are a decent number of these, huh?" Friends, I had no idea. Once we looked into the topic... wow. This card game has a lot of robots in it. And a lot of them are from names we know and love....

I should dial back the Gundam AGE hate. Even its titular Gundam line has a few winners, and the AGE Gundams are the worst designs in the series. The other mobile suits, there are some clear winners! I'd count the G-Bouncer among their number. And it's not fair to hold the writing against them. ...Mostly. I'm sorry, the Freedom DOES have to suffer for the crime of the Rainbow Beams of Peace.

It's time for Peche & Pals! The UC Engage art style is often a bit off-putting to us, but we're always here for tinkering with existing designs to make new ones. Riffing on designs is one of the great joys of being a mecha fan, if you ask me. But how wild to go is always a question you've gotta keep in mind. These machines? Not too wild.

Shuttles, shuttles, shuttles. Oh, sure, we do some cleanup, and some Kelvinverse designs, but mostly this episode is dedicated to little boxes for like two to twenty people. It's a bit of a break to our format, because we usually don't give machines with the same design new entries just because they have a new name. But c'mon, live a little.

C'mon. He's just a little mecha! Also it's his birthday, he's a little birthday mecha! The Stuka/Goblin fills a niche I didn't realize I needed: short, chunky mobile suit. What IF a Zaku only came up to the Gundam's chest? What IF you could barely see their legs from all that waist skirt? Kazuhisa Kondo remains an underappreciated genius of Gundam design.

We're back with a little help from our friends! Guidance has been issued, and we know how to proceed. And Dylan's happy, because we're just talking about Star Trek stuff this episode instead of a bunch of boats! They've got no appreciation for the ocean, I swear. I'm always saying this.

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! So let me know!

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. But it usually doesn't.
