New Gundam series: Mobile Suit GundamOO

[Lord_Leperman]

According to <a href='http://aeug.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html#6464503772880454205' target='_blank'>Gunota Headlines Blog</a>, the new series will neither be set in the Universal Century (Boo!),
nor in the Cosmic Era universe (Gundam SEED). Instead, its going to be set in a completely different alternate universe.

Some additional details from Gunota Headlines:

Known details are:
Setting - 2307 AD ("seireki", Japanese for "anno domini")
Characters - 4 Gundam Meisters, who pilot the mobile weapons.
Factions - Solestal Beings (not real sure on the English name right now), a private militia group whose purpose is to eradicate wars.
Tagline at the end of the commercial - "Rebirth begins through destruction"

And finally, the clearest shot of the Gundam in the series:


You'd know what this means: New model kits and merchendise under the Gundam name.

Great, more reasons to drain our wallets. Hey, it's all good though.

I just hopethe pilots won't (once again) be adolescents. That formula is getting too fething old.

Additional story infor from Gunota Headlines:

The story outline:
"2307 AD.

As fossil fuels became exhausted, humanity found a new energy source to change their situation: A large-scale solar power system with three enormous orbiting elevators. However, only a few large countries and their allies reaped the benefits.

Three superpowers had ownership of the three orbiting elevators: The Union, based in the United States Of America, The People's Reform League, made up of China, Russia, and India, and Europe's AEU. The superpowers continue playing a large zero-sum game for their own dignity and respective prosperity. Even though it is the 24th century, humanity has yet to become one.

In this world where war has no end, a private militia appears advocating the eradication of war through force. Each possessing a mobile suit Gundam, they are Celestial Being. The armed intervention by the Gundams against all acts of war begins."

Ok...
According to this Wikipedia article:
<a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gundam_00#Setting' target='_blank'>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gundam_00#Setting</a>

the lead character is 16 years old.
And yes, it seems like the'yre having a celestial theme.

Hindi na ako magtataka kung magkakaroon to ng part 2 and have Gundams named Archai and Ophan...

[Black Dragon]

Nararamdaman ko na magiging parang Code Geass to. Sana hindi overpowered yung mga characters at MS dto

[Serene]

The Gundams are somewhat overpowered...
Pero balanced in a way.

Specially Exia.
Near Infinite energy, pero melee sya and is equipped with less than 10 blades. Asteg. Blue pa.

ah ok yun. hindi na tau makakakita ng 1 shot = 1 armada kill.

Astig din yung mga names gaya ng Ophan

<a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ophan' target='_blank'>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ophan</a>

OT: speaking of which, sa AC 3 di ba may mission pangalan Ofanim? hindi kaya...:

An ophan (plural Ophanin, Ophannin or Ophanim) is one of a class of celestial beings described in the Book of Enoch[1] with the Cherubim and Seraphim as never sleeping, but watching (or guarding) the throne of God.

The word ophan means "wheel" in Hebrew so the Ophanin have been associated with the description in Ezekiel 1:15-21 and possibly again in the Daniel 7:9 of the four, eye-covered wheels (each composed of two intersecting wheels), that move next to the winged Cherubim, beneath the throne of God. The four wheels move with the Cherubim because the spirit of the Cherubim is in them. These are also referred to as the "many-eyed ones" in the Second Book of Enoch[2].

It has been suggested that the Ophanin are the same classification of angel known as Thrones.

Gundam OO? I think I already saw the model for this. It's got a new unique design, although the shoulders for the protagonist's MS look faintly familiar... ?

I also know where to buy it if anyone's interested (Its not technically the model kit, just the Extended MIA Version but compared to other shops they have the lowest price for all toys/model/kits and with same quality.).

Just hope they don't have another character where he's too much of a try-hard Kira wannabe to the point that you'd want him to die way before the show even reaches half the season.

BTW, The Gundam called [Dynames] is awesome. Looks like a Sniper type, here's a link --> <a href='http://www.wasabitoys.com/product.asp?productcode=2423' target='_blank'>http://www.wasabitoys.com/product.asp?productcode=2423</a>

*Looks at Gundam*

Okay, I'll be nitpicking, but...

...what the bloody hell are "those" (pointing at yellow horns) doing on a sniper?

So much for stealth...

Good point.

I don't really know either, all I know is that most of the MS designs in this series have that...
